《Hidden》Chapter 46

Emma was lost.
She forgot to ask where her room was. Blindly walking through the halls, the girl took occasional glances at the glass floor. Random people, no doubt to watch the trials tomorrow, we're staring at Emma, questioning each other as they stared at the girl above them.
Emma kept her head up after that, mostly because she wanted to seem worthy of being on the top floor, but also because she wanted to keep eye contact at a minimum.
Running a hand through her hair, she tried looking for someone to ask, but knowing that she might run into the fire elite by knocking on random doors frightened her. She eventually found a place with no glass floor, a small open room with couches and a fireplace in the center.
Sitting down on the soft furniture, Emma let out a sigh of relief knowing that some eyes weren't on her now. She thought she was alone, which was a big mistake.
Breathing over Emma's shoulder was another elite, curious about what she was up too. Emma's head shot back, trying to see who was behind her, but only saw the hallway. Turning to look at the fire, a man, wearing an elites cloak, stood in front of her.
"Well hello Emma." They spoke. Emma's eyes widened as she looked at the man in his pure white cloak. Small, silver designs were sewed professionally into the cloak, making the silk shine. The man behind the shadows concealing his face, was clearly powerful, even if he didn't intend to be that way.
Emma let out a sigh of relief, watching as the elite examined the room, his white eyes shining through the cloak he was wearing. Once the man made sure the coast was clear, he sat beside Emma, plopping on the couch. He pulled his hood down, revealing a surprisingly handsome man underneath.

His pure white hair was like the snow from the tall mountian tops of the northern barrier, and his eyes were a strange mixture of whites, and some small glimmers of other colours. The light of the room playing a trick on Emma's eyes.
The man smiled, and Emma shook her head, getting all the useless thoughts out of her mind.
"Hello, umm..." Emma trailed off, remembering that knowing the elites names were practically illegal. The man laughed, his voice a quote and soft tone.
"It's Justin, Justin the light elite." The Man said. He got up from his seat, gesturing for Emma to follow. The brunette did as told, following Justin as he put his hood back on. Looking below the floor, people pointed excitedly at Justin and Emma, there words inaudible from the glass.
The light elite ignored them, continuing his long strides down the hallway. Emma struggled to match his pace, and almost tripped, but she managed to stay upright. The elite walked off the glass hallway, stepping into a room. Emma followed, still uneasy after her meeting with Mira.
'jeeze, does everyone in this school have to be weird?' She thought to herself. The brunette knew her thoughts were growing increasingly dangerous, and the urge to find out a solution for everything was becoming one of her top priorities.
Emma struggled to gain anything from the past events. Nothing but pain came from the creatures that threatened the northern barrier. And Ashely's dragon....
Why did everything have to be messed up around her?
Guilt wrapped around Emma's heart, and a deathly presence was placed on her shoulders. She just wanted to float away from all of this, to be free from pain.
As the brunette walked into the room, her emotions were sealed inside her, her guilt holding onto her thoughts like a snake holding it's prey. The room she walked into was fournished, and didn't look like anything an elite would stay in. Everything in the room looked modern, and a small fish tank was placed on top of a marble kitchen counter.

"Welcome to your room Emma." The elite said. The brunette looked around, taking even more mental notes about where everything was. When her grey eyes landed on the elite again, she saw that the man had taken down his hood again. Justin created a light orb in his hand, the light dim enough so that anyone could look at it without her mind their eyes.
"Thanks you very much for showing me this light elite-"
"Justin is fine."
"-Justin, I was actually, pretty damn lost." Emma laughed, her embarrassment showing through her flushed cheeks. She tried her best to shrug what ha just happened off.
"In glad I showed up when I did, none of the other people up here would have helped you, but that's because they're all dicks." Justin said. Although he was an elite, the top rank in society, he hid magic well, and was one of the most relaxing people to be around in the whole academy.
This time, they both laughed, the previous tension now melting away. Justin took a splinter of light from the orb in his hands, and threw it like a dart. The light spear passed Emma, it's razor sharp blades only a few inches away from her. The blade his a small black orb, the glass ball spitting out some sparks. This move was repeated until around 50 of the small black orbs were destroyed.
"Those were the cameras set up by the fire and earth elite, and personally, they look like little bugs to me, and I kill bugs with a passion." Justin tried to lighten the mood up one more, but Emma was still shocked.
"Cameras?" She repeated. Justin nodded,

Path of Blood.
In my world, there are only idiots who know nothing of the true workings of the world. They only see what is shown to them, only accepting and not questioning anything. They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. 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.
