《Poems from the soul》#LessonOnceLearnt

Long long ago once upon a time
When the world was at its prime
There lived a king who belived
All monkeys should be killed
He recieved a lot of complaints
From too many of his subjects
That monkeys caused too much ruckus
They cried and made a fuss
The King felt bad, he cared about
His subjects a lot no doubt
He consulted his minister and decided
All the monkeys will be murdered
The people were all ecstatic and happy
No one thought the decision was crappy
They could finally get rid of that pest
At night they could comfortably rest
It was announced that for every killed monkey
The hunter will receive from king a bounty
Suddenly even civilians began hunting
In kingdom all monkeys stopped existing
All was good for a next few days
People were pleased now that monkeys were away
But one fine day the bubble bursted
Everyone again started becoming frustrated
The new problem came in the form
Of too many insects and worm
They were in almost all farms and houses
They ruined the grains stored in warehouses
Now the King was worried, he relented
In his empire it seemed as if trouble never ended
In the end he decided to call the intelligent sage
Who's knowledge went way beyond his age
The Sage came and inspected the kingdom
He finally concluded what lead to the doom
He asked the king, where is all the monkey?
To solve this happening crisis they are the key!
The minister now explained what happened
The Sage understood the reason and explained
That lack of monkeys were the reason why
The worm trouble made people cry
Now monkeys were bought and sold
From next kingdom at the price of gold
The king lost too much money and fortune
But at least it solved the big misfortune
Since then it was written books and taught in class
How important every single living thing was
Everything exists for a reason even thorn and pest
Through poem I share this ancient story to the rest

Game Changer - Day Dreams
The greatest foe that man shall face lies within himself: his own mind. It can contort the world around him and make friends seem like enemies. Most often times we cannot see these delusions for what they are, the daydreams and the nightmares; and worst of all the crushing despair that cloys all we do and makes it seem for naught. One such soul in the depths of his own despair met an untimely end, but with his dying breath he made a plea, a plea to live. And so it was a being, neither human nor god or anything inbetween chose to save a life out of pity. But it did not understand the consequences of its actions, the changes a single life could bring. Like a pebble dropped into an ocean, first a ripple, then a wave, and soon all the lands of the world would be drowned before its might... So begins a new life, in a new world. While those who once knew him call it a game he calls it home. Now the question will arise, how far will he go to defend it.

Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
