《His Downfall☯︎》Chapter 22

Esme pov
*2 weeks later*
Matteo stayed true to his words, and he stayed with me through my nightmares and even through out the day, the first few days I woke up in the middle of the night thinking Shane was on top of me again trying to assault me.
The nightmares went away after a week and I was able to get a full night's rest, I stayed at Matteo's house since he didn't want me to be alone not that I wanted to be anyway,
I've called to inform the girls of where I am and told them what happened, they showed up to Matteo's house with candy and ice cream and we talked and cried, mostly me, I don't know what id do without them.
Today Matteo is at his office having a meeting about some shit that I honestly couldn't care about, so that means I'm home alone, well I do have Atlas who is such the sweetest puppy I've ever met, yes, I finally met the damn dog, he snuggles with me while I watch movies through out the day and he loves to follow me around.
Matteo is jealousy because Atlas is always next to me, he thinks I'm stealing his best friend away from him, I told him he always has Enzo.
Speaking of Enzo, him and the girls met, and everything was chill until he talked to Lottie and there was a lot of 'blushing' and whispers, whatever they do in their spare time is none of my business, he better not break her heart or ill unalive him like I did with Shane.
Shane really hasn't been on my mind, you would think because he was my boyfriend, I would feel sad but no, I felt nothing, he tried to rape me and probably was gonna kill me afterwards.

Coming out Matteo's bathroom I went into his closet to find one of his shirts which came to my knee, I just decided to go with no bottoms today since I'm the only one here, expect the guards but they are stationed outside the house.
Humming 'Sweater weather', I made my way to the kitchen, by the end of the song I made it to the kitchen. And there was a girl sitting by the kitchen island on her phone,
Sensing my presence the girl turned towards me, narrowing her eyes at me, "Who the fuck are you" she said, her Italian accent showing,
"Who are you?" I asked while walking to the other side of the island also narrowing my eyes.
"I asked first"
"I don't care"
"I like you... we are gonna be great friends" she smiled, and I swear I went into cardiac arrest, she has long jet-black hair and the blue eyes, her cheek ones are sharp which gives her a model look,
"I'm Isabella, Matteo's sister" she extended her hand,
"Esme" shaking her hand,
"Ohhh you're the infamous Esme that my lovely brother talks about, your gorgeous my dear. Let me know if you ever get bored of my brother my door is always open." She winked at me, chuckle at my facial expression.
..
"Too cute" she laughs loudly, the clearing of a throat behind me startles me, making me jump around and look at the intruder,
Matteo stood at the door with his usual Armani suit on, but it looked wormed out and he looked tired, his hair was messy, and he had bags under his eyes, I felt bad he hasn't been getting much sleep he is always up doing work or making sure I'm sleeping well,
"Princess. Issy" he walks towards his sister pulling her in a tight hug, she patted his back indicating its time to let go, Matteo turned to me and walked until he was right Infront of me.

Bringing my hands to his face, I placed his head in my hands rubbing his cheeks, pouting slightly,
"Have you even been sleeping?", I brushed his hair out his face,
"No", he sighed out,
"Teo, you have to okay", I said softly while patting his cheek, I walked away to go to the fridge, taking out milk I got a bowl and a box of cereal from the cupboard, putting the cereal first,
If you, do it the other way, I think you're mentally unstable.
After I made my breakfast I took a seat at the island not too far from Isabelle,
"Mama is here too; eve is coming tomorrow" Isabelle said while looking at her brother who was to busy staring at me.
"Where are Yall staying?" Matteo asked, coming to stand in between my legs,
We have been touchy-feely lately......not that I'm complaining, we even cuddle at night, he's so soft.
"One of the hotels" she replied while looking at her phone,
*****************************************************************
"I miss my family" I said while moving closer to Matteo in bed, looking up in the celling I can see from through the mirror he is looking at me,
Yes, this man has a mirror as his celling, his house is not so different from the one in Italy, it has the same black interior and lots of windows, Matteo has led lights lining his celling and his bed frame.
"Where are they?" he mumbles while playing with my hair,
"Back home in Barbados, I'm the middle child, I have and older brother and younger sister, Ethan is 27 like you and Enola is 16.", Matteo doesn't say anything only listens to me take about my family for the next half an hour,
"We should visit them" he says, I like that not I but We
"Yay, we should, how about this summer for my birthday" I said excitedly,
"When is your birthday, love" he asked,
"July 20th...you?"
"September 18th",
"oouuu your gonna be 28 soon, you're getting old...is that a wrinkle I see" pocking his cheek, swatting my hand away he grumbles something incoherent,
"I'm tired"
"Go to sleep, Bella", Matteo whispered in my ear.
"Goodnight, Teo" I said sleepily
"Goodnight, Bella"

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.
