《9 Dragon War God》Ch - 5 - Formal Instruction Starts
Advertisement
Long Shen excitedly opened his eyes and jumped out of his bed, took a deep breath of the fresh morning air & looked at the chirping birds on a tree outside his window... "Finally!" He exclaimed and rushed out of the room to get ready for the instruction...
Shortly afterward he arrived at the teaching platform that is surrounding a huge tree and Sr. Wong & Sr. Shen were having a cup of tea and enjoying the morning breeze of the spring, the lovely scenery of the mountains that surround their monastery acting as a natural defense as well as a natural safe haven for ascetics with its innumerable natural caves along the mountain chain so that the monks can live there as well as cultivate in seclusion when needed, it was said that the senior-most monks were saints cultivating in peace for countless years and no one in the current generation has seen them...
Long Shen came running and greeted with full of energy "Good Morning Grandpa, Sr Wong.."
"Hmm from today onwards I will be your formal teacher you Should call me Master from now", corrected Sr.Wong.
"Long Shen understands master..." said LS ( from now on consider LS = Long Shen.... :D) with his hands cupped and lightly bending towards Sr. Wong.
Sr.Wong created a fire in his palm and looked at LS "ok kid .... do you want to be able to create fire out of thin air, play with it and become an extremely strong martial artist?"
"Yes!! Yes...!" LS nodded his head furiously.
"What do you think is necessary to become the most powerful expert standing at the pinnacle of this world? Is it Money? , Family background? political connections? , most outstanding cultivation techniques? Cunningness? Luck? Ruthlessness? Being Sinister and Manipulative? Or anything else?"

The 7-year-old Long Shen was thoroughly confused and said "Grandpa Wong! What does it have to do with this question and teaching me this fire technique?" With annoyance.
" It's Master Wong for you now!, now tell me the answer or else I will not teach you..." said Mr.Wong sternly folding his hands and looking at the poor kid LS
" Is it Money?"
'No..'
"Cultivation Technique?"
'No'
"Family background?"
'No'
"Ruthlessness?"
'No'
"Ahhh!! Then what is it, master Wong?"
"You need to answer my question first... Why do you want to be powerful??" Asked Sr.Wong
'When did I say that? I don't want to be powerful..' replied LS.
" You just said you wanted to learn my Fire technique, didn't you..? By learning this technique you will become more powerful than you are right now and also you will enter into the world of cultivation.... it is not necessarily a good thing... With great Power Comes Great Responsibility... I watched you grow up and would rather have you stay the way you are living a happy normal life till your ripe old age without being tainted by this unforgiving and ruthless world of cultivation... Brother Shen would also like that but we want to know what you want to do...." said Sr.Wong.
" I don't want to be powerful, I just want to play with fire as you do ... that's it!!" Said LS
"Ha ha ha, To play with the elements of nature like fire, you need to be a cultivator .... are you sure you want to become a cultivator? There is no turning back...." said Sr.Wong gently stroking his long silver beard.
"Yes..." shouted LS excitedly
" This must be destiny and no one can stop destiny, even if we intervene .. it will only delay the inevitable... we did not calculate your future according to stars because we wanted to wait for your decision so that we can get a fix of the anchor/turning point in your destiny.. these points will always reveal your future potential no matter how much the heavens tries to hide its secrets, the seekers of heaven's secrets will always be marked by the heavens and will face disastrous consequences if we meddle with destiny / try to peek into someone's future too much, but the anchor points will always provide a workaround for us to safely predict the future potential.." said Sr.Wong with a triumphant smile

Sr.Shen slowly moved forward and handed Long Shen a jade tablet... " Shen'er this is the method to accumulate Qi in your body and how to activate your Dantian, once the Dantian and Qi are activated you will enter this endless world of cultivation, there are no limits to one's cultivation unless you stop it yourself, the road ahead will not be simple... you will understand our words when you grow up... now start by activating Qi and then accumulate it in your Dantian..."
LS has always been a quick study and extremely intelligent he has already mastered the manuals of Low-Level Apprentice Alchemist Sr.Shen gave him, but Sr.Shen forbade him from making pills until he was 9 years old.... although LS didn't know the reason behind it, he absolutely followed every word his grandpa instructed him to do... LS revered him like an almighty god...
LS carefully studied the tablet, memorized everything before returning it to Sr.Shen and went to his room to practice the method...
To be continued....

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring. Or, so says the Tailors Guild. The same could be said by the Blacksmiths, the Bakers, the Butchers, the Candlestick Makers, the Mages, and every other Guild with enough money and clout to complain. But still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and so he has managed to start his business and keep it under the table. To a degree. With many a bribe. But his quiet anonymous life of research, practice, and training was about to change. When the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

The Swimming Pool from Another Freaking Dimension
When the world’s on fire and your garden sprinkler is not going to cut it, there’s only one thing to do: just dig. But the town’s hillbillies are laughing behind your back and your so-called mates are laying bets on you burying yourself alive and venomous spiders are breeding in your 3D printer and those fires are inching closer every freaking day. Just dig, baby. Stranded in a mountaintop suburb monitored by military drones and plagued by wildlife and weather gone crazy, Dezzy and his teenaged neighbour, Sonia, are just trying to save their homes from the next megafires – by digging the biggest, deepest, most badass swimming pool possible. A chlorinated moat at the edge of their derelict suburb that might also provide a refreshing dip in between raging infernos. Only they dig up more than they bargained for, a hell of a lot more. Never mind the secret military base, the burn-scarred locals and their Truth Church, or those birds attacking people out of the blue, because Dezzy and Sonia have bigger things to worry about, things perhaps not of this freaking near-future reality.
