"Say that again. You want me to give a talk at your school. I would love to but what would I talk about?"
"My experiences are going to be wildly different from anything they have ever come across if only from the time with which we grew up."
"Maybe to looking to the future. Would kids in this age know about doing that. About changing what is to come because doing nothing is not a choice."
"Very well I shall do that tomorrow if it is OK with the school."
I grew up in the age of the cold war. In the time were the fate of the world rested on the sholders of so very few flawed humans. Where we almost faced nukes falling from the skys because of birds and clouds. Where some great men did everything in their power to stop that death of the world from taking your futures.
They did it with back room deals. with hand shakes in dark allyways becuse it couldn't be done out in the opening. It is sad that the men and women that saved my world as a kid are no longer here. The ones that are here did not know what needed to be done to change the world.
Small boys now try to be big men without knowing the weight that it puts on the sholders. The wrinkles in the brow of those that bare it apon their backs. They do not stand tall, it is simply more convenient for them to kick down and make others smaller then them. They think that being the alpha wolf is to rule with violence instead of control and compassion. They act like frighened animals in cages unsure if they are going to see tomorrow.
In times like these you young people must look for leaders to drag you forward even if it is kicking and screaming. Like those I looked up to as a child did, those that set out to change the world and succeded in doing so. If you can not find anyone that is truly worth your respect then you must rise to the occasion. You the youth of the country must rise to the hights that no man or woman has ever seen before! What else is there to do, stay the same and let fools drive your future into the ground before you ever get a chance to see it.

Order: Slayer [Modern LITRPG Progression]
The modern world was met with a tumultuous surprise when strange portals opened, leading to other worlds, and from them came monsters who had nothing but the foulest of intentions. On that day, humanity received their greatest tool in combating this threat: the Slayer System. Those who accepted the System's power were called Slayers, and they had created a new, prosperous peace. Decades after, Alexander Shen lives in Ordo, the Slayer Capital of the world, months away from graduating at his university. Although uncertain about his future, he wishes for nothing but a normal life for himself and his younger sister. However, as another disaster strikes, finding himself in the throes of catastrophe (once again), he realizes that the stars have other plans for him. Having his normal life snatched away from him, he is determined to fight, even if it means shooting down the stars.
