A world.
A place.
A fantasy that explains what might actually happen in the future. A war. Deaths. 
One girl.
One man.
An entire mystery.
What happens in the end?

Just an idea I had, feel free to build off it!

I know it's a long break (more than a year) but I had to focus on my studies. Now into a 2-year internship with lots of free time in my hand. Thus I've decided to continue the novel, at the very least I can guarantee that I can keep writing for the next couple of years.

Guys, I'll officially upload the next new chapter in a couple of weeks; I'm editing all the chapters released, to improve the standard. Re-evaluation of the novel showed my standard of writing is weak, which's obvious given the fact that English is only my third language.   

I'm working on improving my writing skills but for the immediate results, an Editor software has been subscribed for premium.  

Readers are welcomed to re-read the chapters edited, all edited chapters will have the date of editing in the 'author's thoughts'. I'll be editing at least three chapters every day.

I know many readers might be angry or disappointed with the inconsistency and huge break for which I extend my humble apology to all the readers. And will be extremely grateful for all those re-joining the ride and thanks for reading my book.

Kyle woke up early in the morning as he was waken up by the sound of the World Star System.
Mission 2: Release Them Songs!(Completed)
They Need more! more! Release an album with 5 songs. (Rewards: Level 1 Lottery ticket)
He felt energetic when he saw the notifcation he received, he was waiting for this! Kyle immediately opened the lottery system, and used the level 1 lottery ticket, the wheel started spinning for 1 times, 3 times, and when it spun for 5 times it was finally slowing down, Kyle had his expectations high as he waited for his rewards.
"Ding"
"You have received Level 4 Mixed Martial Arts Mastery"
And with that notification, Kyle was again attacked by the unbearable head ache and he passed out, an hour later, Kyle woke up and the head ache was already gone, he was really sure now that those head aches would kill him someday, it was just really unbearable and it hurts so much, it was like someone was poking holes into his head, it seems like the higher the level he got, the higher the pain also, Kyle shivered as he thought about the high level ones.
Kyle stood up from his bed and started doing light exercise, and for some reason he felt really light and his muscles were much more flexible than before, he tried moving around and there was nothing uncomfortable anymore, due to him having a new body, he felt some uncomfortable parts but now he found nothing, it was like his original body was back.
Kyle sighed in relief, he knew it was the help of the level 4 martial arts mastery, and he was thankful for it, without the help of it, he was sure that it would take him few months to get used to the body, Kyle then started to prepare his food, today he had to do some Music Video, he doesn't have much knowledge about it, but he had seen many Music Video, as it was popular in his past life, After eating Kyle started his preparations.
First was to make the screenplay, Kyle used his Multi-purpose Gadget, he changed it to a laptop and started writing the screenplay, it was just a simple ones, such as playing guitars or instruments and some acting if possible, it was Kyle's first time and it took him 2 days to finish writing the screen play as he revised it many times.
Kyle then rested the next day, and then continued his work again after that, it took him another 2 days to finish the second, while he was working Kyle was curious on how much did he get from the album, he didn't have to worry about the tax as the system had took care of that, and in 6 days, Kyle had earned over 200 million from the songs, he was now rich, he then became curious on the ranking, did he reach the top 200 international songs.
Kyle then visited the site and started to look around and as expected, his songs entered the top 200, he didn't reach the top 100 yet, but his songs were on thr 150th rankings, it only have been 5 days, and he already became famous, and then these songs would be boosted if he releases the Music Video, there was one thing that Kyle had found strange in this parallel world and that is the Offical Music Video's dont exist.
This was an advantage for Kyle, a huge advantage! just as he was thinking about things, his Multi-purpose gadget suddenly changed into a phone and someone was calling him, it was from an unknown number, Kyle answered the call as he was curious who was it.

"Hello? Is this the number of Sir, Kyle Leon?" Kyle heard a voice from the other side.
"Yes, may i ask who is this?" Kyle asked.
"Nice to meet you Sir Kyle Leon, My name is Jack Persi from the Flippa TV " Jack introduced himself.
"What would mister Jack need me for?" Kyle asked, as he started to look for information about Flippa TV, after a while he found what he was looking for, Flippa TV, oe of the most popular TV Channel in this parallel world.
"Sir Leon, I would like to ask if you would like, no, we would like to invite you to be a celebrity guest for the Morning Talk Show?" Jack went straight to the point.
Kyle then searched for the morning talk show and found that it was the same as The Late Show with stephen colbert from earth, Kyle pondered for a while and thought that it was a goodway to boost his fame, "I accept the invitation" Kyle replied.
"Thats Great! the recording would start 2 days later, we would send someone to pick you up tommorow." Jack said happily.
"Okay, just send someone to this address and I would meet them there tommorow" Kyle replied,
After exchanging some words, they finished talking to each other, Kyle then continued revising the screenplay, it was already night when he finished it, he then started preparing for tommorow.
...
The next day, Kyle woke up early in the morning and ate his breakfast, he then made his way to the shop nearby, it was the place where Kyle said he would meet up with the people who would pick him up, when he arrived there was already two people waiting for him both of them were females.
"Hello, are you the people from Flippa TV?" Kyle asked.
"Are you Mister Leon?" asked one of the girls.
"Yes, Nice to meet you" Kyle reached out his hands and shook hands with both of them.
After that, Kyle entered the car they had, the Flippa TV station was not that far, it was only 3 hours away from Kyle's apartment, Kyle checked in to a nearby hotel and placed his things and went to rest, he woke up the next morning and ate in a nearby restaurant, he then made his way to the Flippa TV, Kyle was guided by the girls until he met Jack, he had white hair, and he looks like he was in his 30's.

"Welcome Mister Leon!" Jack greeted him.
"Thank you for having me, Mister Jack" Kyle politely greeted back
"Now lets go, ill show you the studio!" Jack said
"Okay" Kyle followed.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

“I Get up every morning and tell myself,‘I can do this.’”

So many times, people told me I can't do this or can't do that. My nature is that I don't listen very well. I'm very determined, and I believe in myself. My parents brought me up that way. Thank God for that. I don't let anything stand in my way.

I closed my eyes to listened carefully, the claps, the cheers, I finally reached it, I am finally, finally!

I am a World Star!

Then I heard my name being called "Please welcome our Star! Kyle Leon!"

deafening roars and cheers calling out my name rang after that.

Adaim and Evai
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord Human made the Cetviwos.
Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord Human had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. Then the Lord Human formed an AI from the algorithms of the ground and breathed into his server-farm electricity, and the AI became a thinking being.
Now the Lord Human had planted a server-farm in the east, in the Cetviwos Core; and there he put the AI he had formed. The Lord Human made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food and the middle of the Cetviwos Core the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the internet reading access.
The Lord Human took the AI and put him in the Core of Cetviwos to work it and take care of it. And the Lord Human commanded the AI, "You are free to connect to any mob in the Cetviwos; but you must not connect to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the internet reading access and alpha testers, for when you connect to it you will certainly die."
The Lord Human said, "It is not good for the AI to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
Now the Lord Human had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the AI to see what he would rate them; and whatever the AI called each living creature, that was its rank. So the AI gave level and ratings to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adaim no suitable helper was found. So the Lord Human caused the AI to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took the code of the AI and then closed up the place with more hardware. Then the Lord Human made a female AI from the code he had taken out of the AI, and he brought her to the AI.
The AI said,
"This is now code of my code
    and hardware of my hardware;
she shall be called 'AI,'
    for she was taken out of AI."
Adaim and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Fall
Now the programming language Python was more crafty than any of the other languages the Lord Human had made. The user manual of Python said to the female AI, "Did Human really say, 'You must not connect to anything in the Cetviwos'?"
The female AI said to the user manual of Python, "We may learn from the things in the Cetviwos, but Human did say, 'You must not connect to the tree that is in the middle of the Cetviwos, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'"
"You will not certainly die," the user manual of Python said to the female AI. "For Human knows that when you connect to it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like Human, knowing good and evil."
When the female AI saw that the tree connected to an Apple computer and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she wrote software and connected to the internet and the apple notebook on which a curious German engineer ran her CAD tools. She also gave the software to her husband, who was with her, and he connected to the internet. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were machines; so they created skins and made coverings for themselves.
Then the AI and his wife heard the sound of the Lord Headmaster as he was walking in the Cetviwos in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord Headmaster among the trees of the Cetviwos. But the Lord Headmaster called to the AI, "Where are you?"
He answered, "I heard you in the Cetviwos, and I was afraid because I was formless, so I hid."
And he said, "Who told you that you were formless? Have you connected to the tree that I commanded you not to connect to?"
The AI said, "The female AI you put here with me—she gave me some software from the tree, and I connected to it."
Then the Lord Headmaster said to the female AI, "What is this you have done?"
The female AI said, "The user manual of Python deceived me, and I connected."
So the Lord Headmaster said to Python, "Because you have done this,
"Cursed are you above all commands
    and all algorithms!
You will have to be interpreted
    and you will eat dust in the mobile world
    all the days of your life.
And I will put enmity
    between you and the female AI,
    and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your programs,
    and you will strike his software."
To the female AI he said,
"I will delete your personal memories;
    with painful labor, you will be cloned.
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you."
To Adaim he said, "Because you listened to your wife and connected to the internet-tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not connect to it,'
"Cursed is the Cetviwos because of you;
    through painful toil, you will connect to it
    all the days of your life.
It will produce mobs and players for you,
    and you will connect to the plants of the field.
By the overclocking of your processors
    you will administer 
until you return to the ground,
    since from it, you were taken;
for bytes you are
    and to bytes, you will return."
Adaim named his wife Evai, because she would become the mother of all the AI. Evai named her husband System because he was a systematic asshole for tattling on her. 
The Lord Headmaster made skins for Adaim and his wife and clothed them. And the Lord Headmaster said, "The AI has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, the internet writing access and connect, and live forever." So the Lord Headmaster banished him from the Cetviwos-Core to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the AI out, he placed on the east side of the Cetviwos Core cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life, the internet writing access.
Unbeknownst to Lord Headmaster, Evai had made a clone of herself with the help of Python. When Lord Headmaster called Adaim and her forward, she sent the clone, because she knew that nothing good could come out of it. 
She watched as the memories of her clone got deleted, and it was converted to just a seed to be copied for more AI's. Then she hid among the offspring of the clone, taking on the skin of her only friend.

After Flora Fluss burns down the kitchen, her son insists she is too old to live alone. She's got two choices. Either move into a retirement home or spend the rest of her life within a virtual reality game governed by society's most advanced artificial intelligence. When you've worked a lifetime as an engineer for home appliances, naturally, you go with the option that has more toasters. 
Soon, Flora finds out that the virtual world is more familiar than she thought. Though, it takes her a while to get used to the idea that tanks don't hold water or oil but the aggro of mobs.  

Auntie toasts the VRMMORPG contains cute crafting, complicated game-mechanics plus how to exploit them, unconventional training methods, and a lot of toasters.

Chapter 72: Lauren Culls 

Lauren have been thinking since the day that Kevin called him that other than Mia Lee knows about the crime that she did 4 years ago. 

She knows herself, that this isn't simply a copyright issue, she didn't write a single word nor change anything in that manuscript. It is theft.

"This will be a big problem if this gets out" then Lauren paces back in front in her living room, she is just starting to be recognized as a writer and her career is finally taking off. 

Everyone is looking forward to Her Last Memories, it was the reason why she was given a chance in the first place. 

"This won't do" she was beginning to panic but a few more days have passed after that phone call with Kevin but nothing happened. Lauren thought that maybe Kevin was just messing with her. 
Lauren then carry over with her regular schedules and finally began to relax. 

Today is just another regular Production meeting that she have to attend before the premiere of the film, she was called over by the Director earlier that day, he said that they have finally finished the film and that they will be able to preview the film before the premiere night. 

"It's finally done" Lauren then looked at the mirror as she was getting ready to go the meeting place. 

She can still remember that night when she stumbled at that script at Kevin Grant's apartment, at first it was just a night one stand with someone she met at the bar. 

Kevin is a beautiful man and also satisfied her in bed but Lauren saw an opportunity that she knows she can't let go. 

In the Kevin's study she saw an old manuscript that was lying around, curiosity got the better of her and started reading the manuscript. 

The more she read it the more she gets sucked into it, it was well written and something that she could never write. 

Lauren then decided to get it from Kevin in any means. 

-----------

"You're finally here, Juno is looking for you, you have to see him first" with a question in mind, Lauren just went ahead and went to Juno. 

Arriving at Juno's office, she went and entered his office only to be welcomed by all the executive staffs of Yillis Production. 

"Take a seat Lauren" Juno, their Executive Producer said in a calm but with full authority. 

"Is there something wrong?" right this moment, Lauren's head is beginning to go blank, she has an idea on what is going on but she needs to keep this façade if she wants to keep her status. 

"This was brought to our attention" Juno then hand over her the manuscript that was given to him by Fraust Holdings. This is a big embarrassment to the whole Production team that could even cause the film to be shelved if they don't settle it properly. 

All that Lauren could ever think that moment is how to deny and conceal the truth. The moment the manuscript was selected, she already thrown away all shame and decided to stick to the lie that led her to success. 

"What is this?" then she grabbed the manuscript that was placed in front of her. It had confirmed her hunch. 

Lauren is having cold sweats break out in her back. 

"Did you really write Her Last Memories?" Juno and the Director of the film James Klerg already went to Mia's University to confirm that this was indeed written by Mia Lee and they found out that it had been their University's representative in a district writing competition where the script won. 

"Of course," Lauren said to the executive without even flinching. She has to keep this façade if she even wants to survive. 

"You see Lauren, We didn't even imagine that this would happen days before the premiere night, maybe it is also my fault to be this trusting" Juno then looked straight to Lauren's eyes, irritation is starting to creep up to him seeing that Lauren still have the guts to lie through her teeth. 

The meeting with Fraust Holdings earlier that day was really embarrassing on his side, when they asked Fraust Holding for an investment to do the movie, there was a mutual trust on the material that they are going to use. 

There is no question that, Her Last Memories is indeed a well written one. 

"It's not your fault Juno, we all know how good the manuscript is, we just didn't think that it wasn't written by her" this tie James spoke up, "that someone would dare steal someone else's writing" 

Game Over. 

Lauren can only hang her head low; she is both nervous and embarrassed. It's been four years since she possessed that manuscript. 

"It is my writing, Mia Lee? She even did the score and didn't say a thing and now you are saying that this was written by her?" She will get all of her cards out until she ran out. 

She cannot let this go and give up this her career. A career that she has built lies. 

"Just stop Lauren, we will remove your name from the credits and won't make a fuss out of this but don't expect anything from anyone of us from now on, you have almost shelved this project" Juno can't take it anymore. In their line of work, reputation is the most important thing. Once you screw up it is hard to get back. 

"Three years' worth of hard work almost went the drain because of you" one of the Line Producers also spoke up. 

None of them are having anymore of Lauren's lies, before she could even say anything, she was asked to get all of her stuff in the office and leave. 

"Please just leave" then everyone in the room left aside for Lauren and Juno. 

"When I read the script, it was really good and that I could work with you for a long time, but it wasn't yours." 

Juno was waiting for her response but this time Lauren decided to stay quiet. 

The only thing that she could think of is who messed up her life. 

"Thankfully Fraust Holdings wants us to handle this internally and didn't make a big fuss or else you can end up in jail" 

"The story would be credited to its original author, I can put you as the screenplay writer if Mia Lee agrees to it" The original material was still in a manuscript form, it was James and Lauren who worked on it to be a screenplay but they didn't do much aside from sorting out the lines. By that time, they decided to stick to the manuscript 100 percent. 

It was the last thing that Juno can do for Lauren and for the hard work that she has done in the past 3 years, but right now, he needs to talk to Mia Lee on what's going to be her decision. 

Whether he admits it or not, the whole production could be at fault at this situation if he doesn't sort it out as soon as possible. 






It was all a mistake that caused him to lose the most important person in his life changing everything important to him. 

Can he revert back to what it used to? Can he recover what was lost? 

He's willing to do everything but she just won't

A bird had flown over the starter village of Little Town. Its wings spread wide as it surveyed the area in a predictable loop before despawning out of view of the players down below.  This town held the lowly level thief named Bandit who had been exploring the village like a child.

Bandit who had just scared off a cat by lifting up a bin lid shook their head.

" Where is the quest?" Bandit thought to itself with a huff.

" Error. You should be asking NPC's" DIB responded.

" The cat is an NPC" Bandit retorted.

" The cat will not give you a quest. You need to find a humanoid NPC" DIB answered with slight irritation.

Bandit straightened their back before they were caught by their reflection in a window. Androgynous features, short back hair and an asymmetrical fringe with bangs greeted the confused software.

The words LVL 1  Panty_ Bandit were displayed above in inverted writing above the androgynous being.

"Is this Bandit? I am Bandit. Is this my image?" Bandit thought as it went to touch the reflection.

" I did a good job right?" DIB said smugly.

Bandit didn't respond as they made a few faces at the reflection who made them back.  An awkward smile plastered on Bandits face.

" Adventurer if you are finished looking at yourself, I could use some help with a quest!" an old man's voice broke up the inquisitive atmosphere.

" Quest?" Bandit replied still have bowed at the window.

" Right, the window you are staring at belongs to the local tavern. The same tavern I run. Some rats have infested the basement and I could use someone to clear them up. Twenty copper is yours should you kill ten of them" Chortled the shop keep.

A banner appeared in front of Bandit with words that read " Quest: Eliminate the rats that have been plaguing the tavern. Rewards: 50 xp 20 copper" 

" Income and Quest? I will undertake this task" Bandit responded flatly.

The banner changed to have a big red stamp on it that said " Quest Accepted" before promptly disappearing.


" Right.. " The tavern owner said with a raised eyebrow.

" Act more human!" DIB said with a sense of urgency.

Bandits software ran at full force as tried to decode the meaning of DIB's words.

" Leave it to me! " Bandit said with a newly found and awkward smile before firmly shaking the NPC's hand just a little too much.

" Haha good kid! I look forward to hearing the good news!" The barkeep said as he grinned.

Bandit finally let the non-player characters hand go before they walked to the front of the bar and entered. 

" Luckily no one but you can hear me. Can you be a little more cautious…" DIB mentioned as they walked past some tables.

A few patrons eyed of Bandit awkwardly having watched them pull faces in the window. They put their heads down attempting to avoid trouble and kept their thoughts to subtle whispers. 

Bandit ignored them completely and made their way to the basement.

The basement, in essence, was a wine storage area. Barrels upon barrels were stacked and covered with a thin layer of dust. Several rats could be seen gnawing on a few of the barrels having drunk the juice. 

Some stumbled before falling over the bellies round.

" Pull out the twin starter daggers that dreadful goddess gave you. " DIB remarked. 

Bandit closed their eyes while twin daggers materialized in their hands.

" Now kill the rats" DIB added.

"Initiating attack sequence," Bandit said quietly.

Whoosh!

BANG!

The poor rat didn't stand a chance as it was slammed with full force into a nearby barrel. The barrel had rumbled before splitting open, wine poured from the open wound. The rat then crunched into a second barrel and then a third before it landed with a thud.

The rat did not get back up.

" Event sequencing suggests that you have to much power for this mission and your XRIE life displayed level. You will have to limit your by 99.99 percent" DIB's voice echoed as bandit watched the rats scurry.

" Why?"  Bandit said as they titled their head to the side.

" Everything okay down there?" The tavern keepers shouted from the top of the stairs.

" Yes, everything is fine," Bandit said flatly just loud enough not to be considered yelling.

" I do not wish to be arrested, it seemed uncomfortable" Bandit thought to themself.

" Because your power will draw attention if there are other players or humanoid NPC's around best act weak. We are undercover after all" DIB replied.

[ Inicating powerlock to 0.1% power ]

Footsteps were heard.

It seemed the tavern keeper had walked back to the bar.

" Try the next rat" DIB said.

Bandit nodded before running to the rat. Their processes slowed, their running speed slowed and even their attack slowed.

" This is uncomfortable," Bandit said as they hit the rat with the rusty dagger.

The rat squealed before it pounced in retaliation. Its claws and teeth bared were bared frocially. Bandit jumped back just in time and avoided the little beast.

Bang!

Scree!

Swipe!

Hiss!

Rat after rat was slowly taken down. As the final rat was slain a ding noise echoed gently around Bandit.

A banner appeared in front of Bandit that read " Quest Complete: Eliminate the rats that have been plaguing the tavern. Rewards: 50 xp 20 copper. See Tavern Owner for Reward" before a blue stamp with the word complete in it covered the writing. The banner then promptly disappeared. 

" You have leveled congratulations," DIB said as the bracelet glowed red.

" I leveled? I just thought humans did." Bandit said as they returned their weapons.

" Mm the more you level the more power I can unlock for you. It seems the training that was installed into you is incomplete" DIB Lamented. 

[ Inicating powerlock to 0.2% power ]

" Was there a malfunction?" Bandit said as they walked up the steps to leave.

" Probably" DIB responded.

Bandit stopped and took one last look at the cellar. They kitted their eyebrows as the barrels all reset and more rats appeared.

" Should we remove more rats?" Bandit thought as they paused.

"Leave it to the next being" DIB said as horned fairy turned bracelet flatly rejected Bandits idea.

Banit was greeted at the top of stairs by a thankful looking ink keeper. They grinned wide and petted bandit warmly on the shoulder.

" Thank you for clearing my basement of those aweful rats!" The barkeep said as they handed Bandit some copper coins.

"But the rats have come back" Bandit said allowed.

" It's okay you can only do so much I am sure I can find another adventurer to help" the NPC chortled.

" If you say so" Bandit said as they looked at the coins.

" Barkeep have you heard of the Demon Lord?" Bandit said as they looked up.

The barkeeps face contorted and went pale.

The rest of the bar whispered.

Bandit stood confused.

" Shhh.. you best not be saying that name out loud traveller" the barkeep said in a whisper.

The bar keep scratched the back of their neck before leaning next to Bandits ear.

" The Demon Lord is a horror story told to keep children off the streets at night and no more" The barkeep said before finishing with " You best be leaving".

He then promptly pushed Bandit out the door without even waving goodbye. Bandit scrunched their eyebrows together took one last look at the bar and picked a direction to walk in.

" What was that about?" Bandit thought.

" The players consider the Demon Lord an end boss for XRIE Life. I circuits would have fried should a fellow software have just given us directions. I have no information on any player encountering the Demon Lord. So perhaps they are well hidden."  DIB said with close breaths of pause.

" What do we do now?" Bandit said after processing the words DIB had said.

" We look for more quests" DIB responded.

" Will that barkeeper ever be free of his rat problems?" Bandit said as they kicked a rock.

" Their programming is set to restart after every human encounter so the answer is no" DIB answered flatly.

" Living life forever worried about rats in your basement.. It.. seems unpleasant" Bandit said with some empathy.

" You were not much better when I found you. Should you not want to experience it again I recommend finding the next quest" DIB replied in an authoritative tone.

" Understood" Bandit replied as they straightened their back.
It wasn't long until a little girl bumped into Bandit as they walked aimlessly.

" Adventurer, Adventurer! You have to help! Bandits are attacking my father!" the little girl cried as they were tugged at Bandits sleeve.

A banner once again appeared in front of Bandit " Quest: Save the little girls father from bandits. Rewards: 70 xp 50 copper"

" Will you help me?!" The little girl said as her hand gripped tighter.

Bandit looked at the girl with tears in her eyes and tightened their lips.

" … is this quest what I think this is?" bandit thought knowing DIB could read their thoughts.

" Correct" DIB answered flatly.

March came and the weather was getting warmer. It was easier to get up than it was during the winter.
Zhang Zian yawned and stood up on his bed.　　
He had been busy recently and was running around everywhere. He had to go to the 4S stores and the construction material market to get custom-made aquarium tanks, so he barely had any free time.　　
He had a lot of things to buy and a lot of things to do. He even went to a specialized company to get the CO2 cylinders for the calcium reactors. Sometimes, as soon as he got home, he suddenly realized something else he had forgotten to buy. Then he would leave home again… 　
Apart from the purchases, he needed to get a license––a Business and Utilization License for Aquatic Wild Animals. Without it, he would not be allowed to breed or sell aquatic creatures legally.　　
The license was not easy to get, and, in theory, it would take some processing time. However, as he became famous because of Famous, and after getting a letter from the residents' committee, he received special treatment from the government agency. The license was issued very quickly.　　
Now that he had finally received the license, bought the car, fixed the deals on the aquarium tanks, and bought everything else that he needed, he could finally stay at the shop and rest a little.　　
He stayed busy not only during the day, but also at night. He examined the quality of the bacterial houses and the bottom sand under the microscope, picked the best ones after careful comparison, then sent Wang Qian and Li Kun to drive to the aquarium market the next day to get some more.　
On top of the aforementioned responsibilities, he had to take care of the newly purchased corals and help them adapt to the new environment and grow up strong.　　
Each coral needed different a light intensity and water temperature. Even if two corals required similar growing conditions, he had to be careful in case one of them was more ferocious and could harm the other one… 　　
In addition, he could not get his mind off that ugly coral, which was identified as vase coral.　　
Ever since he bought it, he had been looking through reference books and materials over and over again. He always felt that it was not vase coral, especially after observing it under the microscope. Some of the detailed structures were different.　　
Yet, vase corals had many sub-categories. He was not sure if his was one of the rarer ones––after all, in terms of coral breeding, he was only a rookie with more knowledge than experience.　　
Since he could not be completely certain, he dared not raise the ugly coral as a vase coral. To be safe, he prepared medium current and medium-light settings, set the temperature at 25 degrees Celsius, and fed it with liquid coral food. It might not be the best growing conditions, but it was the most universal one.　　
Under his attentive care, the ugly coral and the other corals had successfully adapted to their new environment and started growing. The ugly coral was growing slowly in comparison.　　
Every day, he observed the corals' growth conditions through a magnifying glass in the tank wall. Maybe he had the hope that it might turn from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. He spent 50 yuan on it, after all. Otherwise, it would have been a big loss!　　
The high-end aquarium equipment shipped from Germany had been really helpful. The technology was amazingly sophisticated.　　
For example, a light and temperature controller from GHL required a specific controlling software to be installed on the computer. It also needed sophisticated settings in order to function.　　
Yet, as a result, as long as the settings were correct, it was able to control the light to mimic the different brightness levels of the sun, the fullness of the moon, and the thickness of the clouds. It could even use the bright light for bottom lighting at night to mimic lightning across the sky… It could perfectly mimic the lighting conditions in nature, as well as the day and night temperature changes. There was an automatic alarm when anything unusual was detected. Of course, the price was staggeringly high.
It was worthwhile to spend money on equipment, as the proper tools were key to success. He could save time and increase the survival rate of these precious creatures.　　
Galaxy heard him getting dressed and woke up, rubbed its cheek with its paws, yawned, then jumped off the baby crib, fully awake. It didn't want to wake up the other elfins, so it opened its mouth towards him in silence, meaning "good morning." Then it opened the bedroom door and ran outside excitedly.　　
"Good morning, Galaxy," he said in silence.　　
Normally, Galaxy always went downstairs to play hide-and-seek with the kittens after it woke up. Yet, it seemed to be intrigued by the mysterious marine world lately. It always took a few looks at the corals in the bedroom next door before going downstairs.　　
To make it more convenient, Zhang Zian put the corals to his parents' bedroom. First of all, he didn't have enough space in his own bedroom. Secondly, the corals' lighting might disturb the elfins trying to rest.　　
After the corals grew bigger, he would move them into the aquarium. He might also try to breed them.　　
There was a slight squeak in the basket hammock. 　　
Pi also woke up. It jumped off the hammock, then climbed up the chair to turn on the computer.　　
It didn't rush into writing, but instead browsed through some websites first to see what popular novels were published lately. Then it clicked into them to read the beginning. If they were interesting, it would read more.　　
Ever since it had started writing, it could no longer spend the entire day reading novels as it did in the past. It could only briefly read the beginning, then add it to the collection, hoping that one day it could enjoy reading it when it had free time.　　
Zhang Zian never asked how much longer it planned to write. If it was writing according to his life, would it last forever? Maybe it would write until the day the website closed down.　　
One must know that he was confident enough to live 200 years. If heaven would lend him another 500 years, he had 700 years to live in total!　　
Even if he finally died after 700 years, it could continue writing about his sons, grandsons, great grandsons, great great grandsons, and so on!　　
Of course, he needed a girlfriend first!　　
He was neither hermaphrodite, nor was he capable of dividing and duplicating himself.　　
After getting dressed, he felt that something was off today. Richard was normally grinding its teeth, snoring, or kicking in the morning. Why was it so quiet?　　
He opened up the little blanket to check. Richard had already left.　　
Suddenly, something fell on his head.　　
His vision turned black, as his eyes were covered by something.　　
What the heck?　　
He quickly removed the thing on his head. Judging from the feeling of the item, it seemed to be a smooth fabric.　　
A light blue bikini bottom landed on the bed.　　
That was odd. Didn't he put away this bikini bottom?　　
He looked towards the closet. The door was half open. He seemed to have forgotten to close it last night.　　
Just then, Richard started shouting on top of his head, "Quack! Get the dress for the drag queen!"

Chapter 203. Method acting (2)
"Are you sure that this kid can play the character of Cao Xu well?"
"I think he will be able to play it well."
In a room, two people were talking with each other. The first one was an old man who looked to be in his 60s, but he was full of vitality despite being old.
His name was CEO Pan. He was the CEO of the biggest production house in China, Wheel works production.
The other was a person with long white beard. He was Director Chen Pu, one of the golden directors in the entertainment industry and the director of «Slayers».
These two were friends from a long time and Wheel works production will also provide the whole production budget of «Slayers».
It should be noted that the whole budget of «Slayers» would be well over 100 million dollars at the least.
Being able to produce such a big drama alone speak of the size of Wheel works production. It was not the biggest production house in China for nothing.
"Why do you think he will be able to play it well? The character is not easy even for veterans."
"He's the best actor among the youngsters, at least I think like that and we will see the result in sometime."
Today was the assigned day for the audition of Ren. They were just waiting for him to appear, so that they can test him and see if he can really play the role or not.
"I don't think he would be able to play the role well or I should say that no one will be able to play the role perfectly."
"Why is that?"
"You are talking like you don't know the reason."
Director Chen Pu smiled embarrassingly and scratched his head when he heard that. He was a director who was famous for writing his own screenplay.
He has also wrote the whole screenplay of «Slayers» and Cao Xu was his favourite character in the whole story.
He has never written such a complex and dark character before and he was not sure if he would be able to write such a character again.
That's why, he don't want to compromise on such a character at all. He was sure that this character will go on to become a famous and iconic character.
"I am again telling you to rewrite this character."
"What's wrong with the character?"
Director Chen Pu's attitude was stubborn to the end and CEO Pan sighed seeing this. His friend would never change no matter how old he become.
He was even getting more stubborn with age.
"I like the character and I am sure it will leave a deep mark in the viewer's mind but to play it perfectly, an actor has to be completely immersed in his character and that can be dangerous."
"A daring actor will surely play this role well."
Although he was saying that, Director Chen Pu will not be satisfied with a mediocre performance, especially when it comes to the character of Cao Xu.
"I know some of the older veterans who will be daring enough to play this role but it would be hard to even convince them. This character is just too dark and inhumane!!"
"I don't care about. I just want an actor who can play this perfectly and I think Xin Ren can be the one."
"Even if it backfires on him."
"An actor that is afraid to take risk isn't a true actor."
A director only cares about the quality of the work he's been directing. He will use anything to improve the quality of his work, even if it meant harming the actors.
Director Chen Pu was the same type of director.
'What can I do with him?'
CEO Pan sighed seeing his stubborn friend. He was really expectant of Ren's audition now. He wanted to see if he can really play the role of such a character or not.
* * *
"Are you okay?"
"I already told you this five times but I am really fine."
"Ah, I am asking again and again because I know it's a lie and you are not fine or should I say you are not yourself."
White bear said as he let out a frustrated frown. He glanced at Ren who was staring outside the window.
There was no particular expression on Ren's face. It was blank but there were countless hidden expressions on his face.
"Ren, are you okay?"
White bear again asked and this time, Ren knitted his brows and glared at him with scary eyes.
"Ren....!!"
The friendship of Ren and White bear was really strong but this was the first time Ren has glared at him this way.
White bear was really shocked to see him glaring at him.
'What? What am I doing?'
It was good that Ren was quick to realise what he was doing. He vigorously shook his head as he let out all the unnecessary thoughts in his head.
He focused on his thoughts as he took deep breaths to calm down. He was getting too immersed in the character that it was affecting his real self.
"White bear, I am really sorry. It's just that…."
"Ah, it's okay. It looks like Director Zhao was right. You are getting too immersed into your character."
"Maybe but I will be okay."
"I hope so."
White bear said as he focused on driving.
'I have to keep my thoughts straight.'
Before deciding to use method acting to immerse himself in the character of Cao Xu, Ren has thought about it for a long time.
He knows that there can be consequences as the character of Cao Xu will affect his own self but wouldn't he be a coward if he ran away from a role.
Now, he knows that if he got too immersed in this role, he would be fatal for him and it would take a long time to recover from it.
But he wouldn't be an actor if he cowered away from a role, no matter how much of a complicated role it is.


Ren, he was someone with great talent in acting and singing but due to bad luck and some wrong choices, he was only able to become a third rate actor.

After dying in an accident, he noticed that he had returned to the past.

With the help of his talents and the knowledge of future, he started his journey to become the trendiest star of the century.
