《Another World and I'm still rich?》Chapter 6. The Seer
Advertisement
I walk up the stairs for many hours and when I reach the top I see a wooden door.
I reach to open it but somebody opens it for me and smacks me in the face with it.
I almost fall down all the stairs and possibly killed myself...
I see an old woman standing in the doorway
"Oh! You are here Child! Come right in!" (Woman)
I walk in and she closes the door.
"Follow me then, child." (Woman)
The old woman starts walking and opens another wooden door after we go through a corridor.
"The Seer is in that room." (Woman)
"Wait, you aren't the seer?" (Colin)
"No! I don't have powers like my grandchild." (Woman)
"Oh... Sorry for misunderstanding." (Colin)
I enter the room and the old woman waves and closes the door.
"So you finally got up here.. I've been waiting for weeks now." (Seer)
I see a young woman drinking a glass of what seems to be wine and looking out of a balcony.
"I'm sorry that I didn't get here sooner... I didn't even know of you until a few days ago." (Colin)
"It's no problem. You actually came earlier than I expected..." (Seer)
She puts the glass down and walks towards me and suddenly stops and crosses her arms.
"Hmm... My vision told me you'd be weaker... I guess my visions aren't perfect." (Seer)
"I've been training..." (Colin)
I look at the Seer and she is a tall busty woman wearing hanfu aka ancient chinese clothing... A red hanfu with dragons on it...
The seer snickers a little after she notices me staring at her.
"Sorry for staring at you!" (Colin)
I bow for forgivness.
"Ah, it's fine. I don't get many visitors and the people that come up here always stare at my beauty and don't notice anything I say until I snap them out of it by hitting them." (Seer)

I stop bowing and she comes even closer to me and grabs my hand and brings it infront of her.
I notice a very small and almost unnoticable mark on my hand that is now glowing due to the Seer I think...
"So you did get the mark... Good... That means no bad surprises for me." (Seer)
She lets go and sits on a table at the balcony and gestures for me to sit and I do so.
"I am sure you have many questions. Ask three questions only though. We don't have much time." (Seer)
"Well... What is this mark? What does it do?" (Colin)
"It's the Mark of The First. In the books it is said that everybody that is the first of his or her species has this mark. It should give bonuses over time based on the progress of the person." (Seer)
"What am I destined to do?" (Colin)
"That, not even I know. I usually know what everybody is destined to do even if they have the most complicated destiny ever. Yours... I can't. I've tried many times..." (Seer)
"My final question is... What shall happen to me now?" (Colin)
"Well... You are going to take me back to Vivian's manor until a certain war breaks out and you are forced to fight on the front lines as a soldier.
Me and Vivian wait for you for many days and thanks to the fact I cannot see your destiny I don't know if you will live or die. I only know that you will fight in the war and no more." (Seer)
"Oh... And why should I take you with me though? Wouldn't it be better for you to be here?" (Colin)
"I must come. I need to assist you in your destiny. I've had a few visions about things that include you but those visions... They were not pleasant. I must come with you to help you with those visions. One of those visions was the war..." (Seer)

"Alright then. We should go then right? We have no time right?" (Colin)
"Yes. Yes we should." (Seer)
"I don't know your name though, Seer" (Colin)
"My name is... Athestine Balcan. Call me Athy though." (Athy)
"Nice to meet you, Athy. I'm Colin Tyccus" (Colin)
"It's nice to meet you too, Colin." (Athy)
Athy gets up and walks out of the door and I follow her.
We spend hours walking down the staircase and when we reach the bottom the guards drop their jaws when she comes through the door before me.
We leave to the King's Throneroom and Athy talks to the King about coming with me to the Terafell Mansion.
The King allows Athy to go and then we go to the King's Visitor's Manor where Vivian, Silan and the rest are resting for the trip back home.
When we reach the manor everybody was already asleep because it was night and me and Athy took two vacant rooms and went to sleep aswell because of the tiring trip back down the stairs.
When morning comes up... Something unexpected happens. Something I never prepeared for or thought to prepeare for yet.

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.
