Aatrox, A God King in a Modern World. Chapter 12: Hearth Attack

By the end of the game, Aatrox had killed 17 players and died only 2 times, both times because he didn't know what the enemy characters' abilities did. His four teammates voted for Aatrox as the most honored teammate. While the players of the enemy team accused him of Elo boosting.

Aatrox did not understand what Elo boosting meant and searched it up on the internet, when he read what it was he got frustrated and confused. Elo boosting was nothing more than hiring a person to play for you and increase your rank. Knowing that he was playing on his account and not Elo boosting, Aatrox was angry that he was being accused of doing something illegal. Aatrox wasn't afraid to break any laws in the cultivation world, let alone in the mortal one, however, him not caring didn't mean that he would allow others to falsely accuse him of doing so.

Searching online for a way to prove his innocence, Aatrox found a video where a person said that the best way to prove that you aren't Elo boosting was to live stream yourself playing the game. Not only could you prove your innocence, but you could also make a living if you were good enough. After finishing watching the video, Aatrox found another one on how to live stream and thought it might be interesting to test and he decided to see what it was like.

After downloading OBS [Open Broadcasting Service], a streaming program, and making an account on a streaming service, Aatrox turned off the computer monitors and sat on the bed to finish cultivating so he could reach the Knight level. Even though the games were fun to play, Aatrox still has his priority which is to return to his original strength and then to reach the rank of God-Emperor.

Eyes closed, Aatrox began to think of his new family again. After playing with the children today in the park, Aatrox felt that he was able to bridge the distance between them. Their closeness made the cultivation of the God- Killer technique advance even faster. This time, before the sun could rise, Aatrox felt as though a barrier blocking his path had broken increasing his cultivation and making his body feel lighter and more unrestrained.

Stepping of the bed, Aatrox grabbed the foot of the bed and lifted it as easily as lifting a feather. Circulating his energy through his body, Aatrox managed to form a spiritual crown in between his hands, which was the proof that he had reached the Knight rank. Each power level has a different crown that corresponded to the level, Knight's crown is the most basic level with a crown so small that it couldn't be placed properly on his head.

After putting his spiritual crown back into his body, Aatrox sat at the computer and saw that it was 5:00 am already. Aatrox decided to go over the rest of the school curriculum that he missed when he was in a coma before it began tomorrow. As Aatrox quickly read the contents, the sun rose and the other people in the house woke up. Seeing that his son was studying, Amanda and Alex didn't bother him.

When breakfast was ready it was already 8:00 am, in those three hours, Aatrox who became accustomed to the languages of Earth managed to increase his reading speed and when his siblings came into his room to call him for breakfast, Aatrox had just finished reading the last book he needed to know for school.

After breakfast, Amanda told Aatrox to get ready to leave as they would go out to buy him some clothes since his old clothes were too small.

Putting on one of the sets of clothes his parents had bought for him while he was still in the hospital, Aatrox tied his long hair and looked in the mirror. His tight shirt showed the six-pack on his waist. The daily cultivation caused his muscles to became more toned making the shirt that was once baggy for his very thin frame to now become too tight. His torn black jeans and white sneakers, coupled with his long black hair made Aatrox look really attractive. Even in the immortal world where everyone was extremely beautiful, Aatrox would still stand out.

As he left the room, Aatrox saw his family looking at him strangely. "Is something wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing, it's just that we were surprised, you were handsome before the accident, but now you're on another level, you definitely pulled my side of the family!" Said Amanda with a proud face.

"I miss being young when it was easy to get a six-pack..." Alex said looking at his own belly that was already turning around from drinking too much beer.

"My brother is a prince ..." said Bruna with a red face of shame while gazing at her brother.

Only Bryan didn't understand why everyone was acting so strangely because of his brother.

"Here son, we bought you new glasses, since yours were lost in the accident," Amanda said as she handed Aatrox a glasses case.

Opening it, Aatrox saw a pair of glasses with thin round frames. After putting them on, Aatrox's vison blurred making him feel uncomfortable, after all when he rose to the knight rank his basic imperfections were healed, including his myopia. But he couldn't explain that to his parents and so he put his glasses on his head as if nothing was wrong.

" Wow ..." was the only thing Amanda could say when she saw her son wearing the pair of glasses on his face, they look like they were made specifically for him, perfectly complementing his style, a stoic expression that made him look distant and mysterious. Those who looked at him would feel curious and attracted to his confidence.

"Shall we go?" Asked Aatrox waking his parents from their daze.

"Let's go !!" said Bryan who in turn still didn't understand why everyone was acting weird.

Arriving at the mall, they went to an ice cream parlor and bought a few milkshakes for everyone. When they arrived at the clothing store, the saleswoman who attended them was consuming Aatrox with her gaze.

[Elizabeth POV]

'Today was a very ordinary day, some customers just came to do some window shopping, some bought clothes and so on. That was until a family came in. First were a pair of twin toddlers who I found very cute, and a very handsome couple for their age, most likely the toddlers' parents. But when I looked at the teenager who was with them my heart stopped for a split second.'

" We-Welcome !!!" I said almost choked on my tongue while greeting the boy, who looked around my age, and his family.

'He could definitely be a supermodel ... or a famous actor ... my god ... is my makeup all right?' I thought as I instinctively straightened my back and hair.

He looked at me with his cold face and my heart skipped a beat. His piercing eyes poking at my soul and like a knife striking a flint stone, it ignited my deepest desires.

"My son needs some sets of clothes, would you mind helping us choose?" When I heard the question of the beautiful woman and looked at her face I almost died of embarrassment, I could see by her eyes that she knew what I was thinking about her son.

"Yes, I can ..." I answered quietly trying to hide my shame, which probably only made it more apparent.
