"And lastly... The first 4 Ordeals are considered a Tutorial. You cannot lose your life and can even attempt the next Ordeal after a failure. If with these conditions, you still want to be a miserable Civilian, then maybe you are indeed no better than that ..."

twangy - nasalic voice
"Greetings, my friends. My name is Aslael, but around here the players call me the Instructor." He introduced himself in a twangy voice that Jake found horribly unpleasant. The Joker smile was even more so, and made your bowels wag.

motley - varied apperances or colours
The group was a motley crew. Five men, six women, one child. One of the men, a rather athletic playboy, was about his height and wore a colt in his hand. The rest of the group seemed to crowd around him, seeking his protection.

infernal - tiring
At last, after two long infernal minutes, the monster uttered a last death rattle and the halo of white light in its eyes faded away. The pressure of its sharp fingers eased as they liquefied and Jake was finally able to catch his breath.

incessant - continuing without pause or interruption
A humanoid creature more than two meters tall with a woody body and gray skin, similar to that of a batrachian, stood in front of him, cackling that same intolerable shrill sound. Its upper limbs were thin and long, ending in fingers similar to blades of liquid silver, changing shape incessantly, sometimes taking the shape of the ferns, sometimes those of claws or hooves.

phlegm - calm temperament
"You all know why I'm here today." Oros stated with a formalism bordering on indifference. He would have given its speech in front of an anthill with exactly the same phlegm.

Nevertheless, one could sense in their attitude that they were wondering since when Paul had been associating with this kind of individuals. Of course, they kept their opinions to themselves. Even among the bourgeoisie of New Paris, owning a big house like this one was not so easy.

wish I had access to such gym in reality.
A 50m long swimming pool, a weights room, special rooms for dancing, martial arts, yoga, and reshaping programs. The equipment was top notch and there was a wide range of activities to choose from. This place would be like a second home for him in the next days.

I just like this realistic approach to various explanations of attributes 馃榿
Virtual reality was still far from perfect, you still had to move with your real body in real life. However, with good quality gears, you could have very immersive gaming experience. A multi-directional treadmill big enough could allow you to walk, run, even jump without feeling yourself limited by a lack of space. A fitting VR suit with captors could reproduce to a certain extent the feeling of touch. A set of cameras could triangulate your position and movements in the game combined with the VR suit feedback. If you could suspend yourself with some adapted ropes, you could even reproduce flying and acrobatics in the game. As for the graphics in the 22nd century, they were flawless.

People didn't need more to turn around and initiate the dash of their life. Jake even saw an eighty-year-old hunchback with a walking stick, suddenly throw it away before sprinting like a teenager under steroids. Adrenaline could make a miracle happen. Though, this old guy would surely pay the price of his feat afterward.

ch 0 1 The Day everything changed
Sci-fi 路 Arkinslize
feels like a very realistic prediction of our future.
After 2070, geopolitical tensions escalated. The Earth had more than 10 billion inhabitants and access to drinking water was no longer guaranteed. Global warming accelerated the melting of sea ice, leading to the disappearance under water of many well-known coastal cities and a group of oceanic islands.

wow
As if to contradict him, Gerulf leapt out of his crater with a roar of fury that shook the walls of the ludus, like Kingkong or Godzilla after being provoked by an enemy whose existence they could not tolerate. His forehead did not even bleed. Except for a tiny, almost cute little bump the Kinthar was unharmed.
