《Music System》Chapter 22
Advertisement
Saturn's making a video in yadda yadda minutes video had somewhat blown up, by his own standards at least. His video had reached a solid 400,000 which amazed him. Along with the small blow up Saturn had also reached an amazing 100,000 subs.
Thanks to his increase in subs Saturn was also invited into a chat group among certain music Streamers. The group was for those trying to make the music community branch out past just pop and rap music. Which had been going amazingly in recent years. The group was exclusively for those Streamers who had at least 100,000 subs.
Norse God: Alright everybody, welcome out newest member Saturn. He is a really talented fellow who I have personally collaborated with.
Saturn: Hello everybody, thank you for welcoming me into your group.
JessicaForest: Yo yo yo my guy. Welcome to the group. Leave a link and I'll check out you channel.
Saturn: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7_acUgMyEtVGHfIU5vKCH2dGXYFm-tIh ( Tell me you don't like how smoothly and seamlessly I inserted the link to the playlist for the novel. )
DiggsBiggs: Nice to have you Saturn, we should collab.
LazyBastard: Don't do it, he'll plan to do the collab with you for years but never actually do it. He's like a stripper, an expert at teasing.
DiggsBiggs: Screw you, the only reason it took so long to plan our collab is because you're a lazy bastard. . . . Don't act like I'm not a genius.
JessicaForest: Don't scare the newbie off boys. Anyway, I checked a few of your songs, SSSIIIICCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!
HotEmoChick: I also checked out some of your songs and they are killer. My favorite song is Divine Right of Kings. 😉
DiggsBiggs: Don't let her trick you, she's a lesbian.
Saturn: It was just an emoji, it couldn't mean anything.
JessicaForest: A guy who finally doesn't think politeness is flirtiness.
NorseGod who had been watching along till then responded.
NorseGod: There are more members but they are unfortunately not on right now. Anyway, it is tradition to post a new song within a week, doesn't have to be good.
Saturn: I'll run down to the booth and record a new one real quick. Ya'll should check out my channel and see if you want any specific genres.
NorseGod: I want something like Divine Right of Kings. Fucking love that song.
Saturn: So something hard and brutal.
HotEmoChick: YEAH YEAH YEAH! Something slow, heavy, and brutal.
JessicaForest: I want something like Lady in Black.
DiggsBiggs: I just want something good.
Saturn: I got ya'll. Give me a few hours and I'll give ya'll the good stuff.
NorseGod: Can't wait.
JessicaForest: I'll be busy replaying your music over and over and over and over ♾️.
DiggsBiggs: I'll be copying Jessica.
HotEmoChick: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturn was already in the car and driving to the mall with his guitar while the group was posting that. He also already knew the song . . . songs he wanted to records. He drove all the way to the mall with a smirk on his face. When he walked into the mall he had a pep in his step. When he walked in he saw the lazy and lethargic Luther sitting around with squinted eyes, looking as though he was about to fall asleep.

" Alright Luther, we'll be doing something different today. I want to record three songs. "
" Huh? Ah! Oh, that'll be easy. "
" I think so too. "
The old man huffed and puffed trying to get up, eventually he raised to both feet with a guttural groan. Saturn watched the entire process with worry on his face.
" Alright get that look off your face youngster, this is a part of getting old. Get used to it. "
Saturn just nodded his head and followed the old man to the booth.
Saturn took over getting the equipment set up since Luther seemed to be having a rough day that day. Luther appreciated the help though he didn't show it. No veteran wanted to show weakness, especially towards a younger person.
" Alright this first song is one of my favorites that I have come up with. I call it Sympathy. "
The song was called Sympathy and it was performed by Uriah Heep. Saturn loved the song, and it was a personal favorite of his. It took only a few seconds for Luther to know that he loved the song. Then Saturn started singing and he knew even more that the song was for him. Luther just knew he loved the song.
" This next song is called Teenie Weenie, Luther you should feel a real connection with this song. "
The next song Saturn played was called Teenie Weenie and it was played by a Christian Band called BROJOB. Saturn truthfully liked a few of the songs by the band despite some of the silliness involved. Luther who was told he would feel a connection was suspicious, and instantly focused on trying to understand the lyrics, it took less than a minute for him to understand that Saturn had been messing with him. Later that week Luther had gotten Saturn back by stealing the keys to Saturn Tahoe while he was on the job. Luther then moved the SUV to the other side of the mall. Saturn had freaked out for an hour before Luther told him about his prank. That was all for the future though.
" This next song I call Golden Brown, it's pretty enjoyable, it'll be a pain to edit though. "
( MindTwister, if you are still reading then thank you for the suggestion, I really like the song. By the way to all you readers reading this, fun fact, the word weenie is apparently a real word recognized by the dictionary. I had no idea. )
Luther when he first heard the song agreed that it would be a pain to edit the song, but he also agreed that it was an enjoyable song. It seemed kind of British though in his opinion, none the less it was a very nice song.
All in all it took Saturn and Luther about an hour to record everything needed for the songs. After that he spent three hours getting all of the songs perfected.

" Welp, that's a job well done Luther. "
" Yep, as always amazing job with your songs Saturn. I don't appreciate that middle song however, I'll have you know I am very well end- "
" ZIP ZIP ZIP! SHUSH! I really don't want to hear about old man dick. "
" Hoohoohoo. Alright. I will get you back by the way. "
Saturn turned to the shady looking man who clearly already had a plan formulated. It was only in the future that Saturn realized why you don't fuck with a veteran.
" So, what's up today? Why are you acting so weird? "
" ' Sigh ' I'm just getting old. An old buddy of mine passed away. He fought for years for this country, he ran into a literal hail of bullets and saved my life as well as the lives of other soldiers. Among that he did so many other bat shit crazy things and didn't die. And yet, last night right as I was sleeping dreaming about flying on a plate of spaghetti, he passed. This man lived through bombs, guns, knives, I even saw him swallow a bullet. I guess I only just realized that weakness of humans, is all Saturn. I guess I'm depressed. "
" . . . . Luther humans aren't weak, we just have untapped potential. Don't worry about dying in your sleep. "
" How could I believe that, one of my best friends did it not even twenty hours ago. "
Saturn seriously considered telling Luther about the system but before he could he was given a message by the system.
Don't do it Saturn the systems are a secret of the universe, it shouldn't be spread out. It could cause panic if it was, imagine billions of people not caring about anything other than getting the secret to a higher power. You would also be kidnapped most likely. All I can tell you is to train as hard as you can to establish a cultivation system and that'll help your buddy. I'll see what I can do on my side, honestly I already have a few ideas. I'm rooting for you, I'll be as quick as possible.
Saturn was prepared to go off on the system, but he finished the message and realized it was right. Plus the fact that it was willing to help slightly touched the murderer's heart.
" Luther, how about I teach you some real honest to goodness ancient martial arts? They should prolong your longevity if you practice them long enough. "
" You should know I don't believe in all that mumbo jumbo. "
" Come on, plleeeaaaassssseeeeee. If anything you can learn it and pass it down to your children so that they could have better self defense. "
Luther hesitated a little at the mention of his children. What kind of father wouldn't want their child safe after all? Eventually the old man sighed and said.
" Fine, I'll learn them. "
" SWEET! So uhh why don't you tell about this war buddy of yours. He sounds like a bonafide badass. "
" Oh he was. Listen, we once had a small vacation right, so we took out families to this Hawaii. We went hiking to the top of this waterfall and the madman jumped off. I of course couldn't lose out in front of my wife and kids so I jumped as well. Ended up landing on my back and couldn't do shit for the rest of the trip. "
Like that Luther reminisced about his old war time buddies sometime laughing, sometime sighing, other times showing a look of pure evil. Saturn just listened occasionally laughing, sometimes nodding, and always smiling, if only lightly. Luther talked for hours with Saturn in the recording booth, eventually Amelia who was with Sam called her son worried since neither her or Sam had seen him. At that point Luther chased the man who he saw partly as a son mostly as a friend off under the excuse of not giving his woman more time. Saturn who was chased off just laughed at the old man's antics. What he didn't know however was that after he left Luther who was sat in that eerie and lonely booth released two tears. One for his buddy the other for himself.
Once Saturn returned home he downloaded the new songs from a usb to his computer before sending the songs to the chat group, he also started putting the songs up as an upload on his channel wanting to waste no time.
The people in the group had somewhat mixed reaction, but there was a common phrase shared between them to describe Saturn.
Everybody in the Chat Group: YOU'RE A GOD!
Saturn just chuckled of course. Later on he ate dinner with the only women in his life while telling them all about his day went. Though he left about everything about Luther except that he would be teaching the old man martial arts. Saturn then went to bed with Sam staying over that night.
Saturn dreamed he was a spaghetti monster chasing around tiny old men made of ground beef.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.

Battlesquire Book I - First Blood
There was nothing Jess craved more than the rush of battle, having trained for endless hours in mastering all the weapons of war. She would do anything to prove herself worthy, anything to be granted the rights and privileges of every knight who fought for the Crown. Anything not to be relegated to the status of simpering handmaiden, a wallflower at court whose only purpose was to be meek and demure for the pleasure of arrogant men she despised. When a certain professor of etiquette makes it clear that she would see Jess broken and humbled, forced to submit to a lady's proper role, Jess will do whatever she must to escape that fate. Even if it means blackening her dagger for king and country, learning what it truly means to be a Squire of War. (Warning: Though it starts off gently - sex, graphic violence, heroism, and betrayal are all part of the story.)
