Aatrox, A God King In A Modern World

"Ben! How did you get so much better?" Annie asked surprise after they finished the whole act.

Aatrox heard her surprise and had a little laugh. "I'm learning from Roberta, she told me yesterday that I had potential, but that my basic knowledge was very low. So she gave me some extra lessons yesterday so I could reach you."

"Reach out to us? You were very good before, now you've practically become the character!" Annie said perplexed.

"But you're also very good, miss waitress." Aatrox responded by laughing.

"Ahh... thank you." Annie got a happy compliment too.

The two were having a pleasant conversation, while the other actors were having a worrying conversation. Before they saw some mistakes that Aatrox made and were reassured that he was not perfect. But now it was becoming difficult to find any error in him, even if he had started acting so soon. That improvement was unparalleled.

But something that none of them felt, which made Roberta very happy, was the d.e.s.i.r.e to give up. She saw that they were feeling pressured by the two actors of the protagonists and were having more willingness to improve so as not to fall too far behind them.

When rehearsal was over, everyone quit and left. Most wanted to watch some famous pieces to get inspiration and try to improve themselves, while Aatrox and Annie remained there to wait for Roberta.

Aatrox because she had agreed to stay, Annie because she was curious about the practice they had.

Roberta was expecting Annie to want to stay and see what their practice would be like, but when she saw that it really was a practice about the basics, she was speechless, especially after seeing how much Aatrox would improve after a few simple tips.

She knew that staying there wouldn't add much to her, so in order to look for more advanced things on the internet, Annie said goodbye to both of them and went away for good.

Aatrox and Roberta continued for a few more hours, until Roberta said it was already good. She was afraid of overloading him, so today she has lightened the load so that his head doesn't get too full of information and gets in the way instead of helping.

Feeling that he had learned a lot today too, Aatrox went home to rest and to learn other things to integrate into his plan.

When he saw in the news that the Price family had already begun to be investigated and that public opinion was against them, Aatrox knew that their anger at that time would be very great. Since they did not know who he was, they could only feel like trapped animals waiting for the predator.

After all, they didn't know where he was, or even who he was, while the "team" that was trying to destroy them knew a lot of things they couldn't hide.

Knowing this, Aatrox thought that if the Price family found out he was somewhere, they would definitely send people after him to try to get an advantage, but if he had done something else while they hid, they would feel bad.

After all, their invader was doing other things instead of worrying about what they might do. That would be a clear act of contempt.

When Aatrox came home, he saw that the children had already arrived. Sitting on the couch, they were watching a cartoon of a hero Aatrox had met today.

"Hey, kids, what are you watching?" Aatrox asked.

Hearing the voice coming from the door, Bruna and Bryan turned excitedly and said "Hi brother! We're watching a batman movie. After talking about batman this morning, we felt like watching." Bryan said cheerfully.

"Sit here and watch with us!" Bruna also said very excitedly, since the film had just begun.

Aatrox was curious to know what this animation would be like and sat down between the two excited children.

Watching the movie, he saw something he thought was irresponsible. He knew that society in this world abhorred death, but for him who lived in war, death is something banal. Most of the rivalries and crimes committed in his old world were resolved with the death of the guilty party.

The only reason Aatrox has survived so long is that he was more powerful than the people who wanted him dead, but he was one of the people who killed those who dared to think of doing evil for him.

But seeing that this hero didn't kill, even when the villain killed hundreds of people, he left Aatrox frustrated. Because of what the children were talking about, the villains always escaped from jail and went back to committing crimes again after a while and killing more people, either directly or indirectly.

When Aatrox put himself in the place of this hero, he could even give the first chance and put the villains who didn't try to kill him in jail, but the second time he caught these villains doing shit again, he would simply kill them and erase them from existence along with the evidence that he was the only one to do it.

The plot of the story was good, the movies and comics he saw followed a line of storytelling that trapped him, always wondering what would happen next.

Satisfied after seeing the movie with the kids, Aatrox went to his room and picked up a Batman doll that Benjamin had.

Looking at the doll and looking at himself in the mirror, Aatrox was sure. He'd use that to scare the Price family even more.

When night came, Aatrox opened the wardrobe and wore the clothes he always wore to torment the Price family.

The long black overcoat open on the c.h.e.s.t showing the Victorian shirt of buttons while keeping a pair of gloves that matched the blood-red mask.

Activating the [Unknown Aura], Aatrox opened a smile on his face when he recalled his plan, tonight Price family will feel the pain.
