Okay so the Illustration is complete I updated the book cover on royalroad.com scribblehub.com and webnovel.com, I've also updated the synopsis to what is going to be on A m a z o n.
The illustrator delivered the illustration to me around 3 or 4 hours ago., so it was completed fairly recently.
It took me mmmm 7 or 8 tries maybe 9 before I was finally able to get kdp amazon to accept the illustration. I tried 6 or 7 times of those to get it to accept the pdf. In the end, it did not accept the pdf book cover, but I was able to make a workaround and submit the image through the cover creator by uploading the image and delete all text projected over the illustration by the cover creator and wallah only took a 2nd try to get it done after that.
This was for the paperback version mind you, no problems with the ebook on that front. Keep in mind I was just about to go too sleep when the illustrator contacted me and I only recently reverse my schedule back to somewhat normal. It was then that this whole fiasco started.
Now then, the ebook has passed review and is currently publishing which means their setting it up on their sites and apps for amazon, kindle and their various national variations.
The paperback is in review. Both the ebook and paperback should be released around or within 72 hours from what I've been told. I will also get an email when the ebook is published and maybe when the paperback is published not sure.
Next, I noticed when I was reposting the amazon version of the synopsis that the paperback's synopsis was lacking any spaces between sentences which is indeed an issue.
Now I would go ahead and edit the ebook and paperback just so they're more professional, but I tried that, it won't let me edit it right now and the button to do so are greyed out.
That said I do want to edit the synopsis of the two books so they're not a mess but I will have to wait, if they even allow editing of them after they've been published anymore. I know they used too.
I may or may not release another update when they've been published and or edited but for now you seem to have all the information and anymore may just be overbearing.
Also the paperback minimum price was 42 something odd dollars with no royalties, so I raised the price of the paperback to 50 dollars USD so that I can even make a profit off royalties, even with that each purchase of the paperback only gives me 4.25 dollars. The cost of printing is 25 something odd dollars per book, I guess amazon gets the rest and or put it into shipping costs???? Crazy right?
Anyway that's it have a wonderful night or day and I hope you buy a copy.

P.S. The ebook is 2.99 USD.

I have this story on Webnovel.com Scribblehub.com and Royalroad.com I have deleted my series on Tapas.io I am on P A T R E O N, besides these websites I have not published this story anywhere else.

Greetings to all my readers, I wish to say something to you.

Firstly, I want to apologise to all of you. All those who have found this fanfic to be enjoyable, I truly apologise to you for not so inconsistent in writing the chapters of this fanfic or responding to you all. There have been multiple reasons for why I was inconsistent but it doesn't change the fact. I hope you forgive me.

Honestly speaking, I had started writing this fanfic with nothing concrete in my mind. I was just fed up of fanfic in those days that I felt that I must write something better than fanfics with those pussy main characters and all. I didn't expect you all to like this much, however, much can be contributed to the fact that it was one of the first Against the Gods Fanfic here. Nevertheless, I am very glad for all the support you have shown me.

Even before I had started writing this fanfic, I had been writing a novel. It isn't a lewd novel I guess haha... It's something I have been working on since 2-3 years. Its outlook is also not like that of an official novel but still, I have done all I can do alone, writing the novel, editing it and everything. Some friends helped me, but eventually, I completed it by myself.

I am from India, and in 3rd year of my Engineering. I guess I found my passion too late as I had already joined the college and wanted to graduate before working actively in the writing field. However, near the end of my first year, I had already started writing this Fanfic. Perhaps it was because of my lust of popularity or because I also wanted to write a Douluo Dalu fanfic, I started writing about it too. I guess I chewed off more than I could bite. Writing three novels at the same time was far too taxing. Especially when I had to give out regular chapters. I even started using p.atreon to collect money for advance chapters because I wanted to prove to my parents that I could earn through writing as well. My parents were convinced but I was seriously exhausted after a month or two. I couldn't go anywhere and spent all my time on discord or writing.

After that, I was interested in a girl I met online. She was from the same country as me. I was infatuated with her. The time talking to her was so relaxing that I slowly found myself getting out of writing. I slowly reduced my time in writing and started to talk with her more. However, she soon found someone else she liked so I got a little angry. We had a quarrel and I was pretty much pathetically depressed. I know I was in the wrong but I still couldn't control my emotions at that time. I was quite pathetic, I guess. Haha...

Anyway, I am out of depression. I had started watching animes again because of a bit of my free time and study for engineering. (I pretty much failed in quite a few subjects in a few semesters so I had to reappear in those exams again. Had to study all that too...) In a bit of my free time, I read some novels. I tried to improve my writing style and felt that it has improved a lot. During that time, I kept my mind focused on my main novel and kept everything aside. I just wrote something now and then for fun. It was to try out whether it would look appropriate in my main novel or not.

I have said it before but I guess I will say it again, I wish to turn this story into a manga story. I know I am not from Japan, it's probably a little preposterous for me to think of making manga and publishing it. Even after that, I have little hope of gaining popularity. However, I still want to make a manga. I am going to hire an artist and discuss a long term plan with him to ensure that it would come to reality even if it costs me a lot.

Currently, I have released my novel on the Kindle (Amazon), I won't say you must buy it. In fact, I urge you not to buy it if you do not like it. That will be your own decision. I just want you to read the free preview available on kindle, just tell me if you like it or not. I just want to know a bit of your viewpoint if you will like the story or not... I haven't asked anyone known to me to review the novel because the first few reviews I wish for are the true reviews. I just want to know whether my story is worth reading or not and let you be the judge of this fact.

This was what I wished to speak about myself and the story.

As for the questions concerning this fanfic, I do have a few ideas planned. My online classes are probably going to be suspended in a few days because of some ridiculous news in our country. I wouldn't want to bore you with details, but yeah, it is so ridiculous that I can't even speak of it here. So, yeah, I can continue this fanfic soon enough.

Just please read the free preview available on kindle, after that, buying or not buying is your own choice.

The name of the novel is [Rising Warriors] by [Anshul Gupta].

If this is not the link for your respective countries, you can redirect yourself to your countries server. I don't really understand how it works but it should be available in all countries.

Thank you for listening to my rabble. Sorry for making it so long, hehe...

But no one can take away a man's will to fight. Even if his heart turns into a bleeding stone due to endless grief and suffering, it won't matter.
The most important thing was that he still had the will to go on. The thought of taking revenge on his family's murderers gave him the strength to survive.

Description

He was born anew in a world where martial arts were indistinguishable from magic. He’d only received a neuronet and meaningless desires from his past life. What lies ahead? He’d dreamed of adventure and freedom, but those dreams were taken away from him. The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away. They took his Kingdom, they even took his destiny. But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back. Even if a whole army opposes him, his sword won’t waver. Even if the Emperor sends entire legions against him, his step won’t falter. Even if demons and gods, heroes and villains alike, unite against him, he won’t bend to their will. His own will is iron itself, unstoppable. His name is Hadjar and he heeds the call of the dragon heart within him. 

This novel contains uncensored scenes of battle that may or may not include depictions of violence and gore. Read it at your own risk.

 

Alright, boy-ohs and girlies, I've tried my best, I really have, but writing is way harder than I could have ever imagined. I'm at 216 chapter, 218 if you count *******, and about 90-95% of the story has been written without much consideration for outlining. A while ago, I started a wiki for the novel to try to keep track of everything and only now am I starting to understand the magnitude of the mistakes I've made writing up to this point.

Anyway, the announcement this time is to let you know that my writing pace hasn't simply slowed. I'm just taking the majority of my time chronicling everything that's happened and will happen and thinking up solutions to the problems that I've detected in the logic of the story; or plotholes. I'll probably take a while and until I'm confident in where the story will head, I'll continue putting out a depressingly low number of chapters every week.

It feels wrong to not say anything and even worse keeping my ******* collecting despite the obvious downgrade to my writing speed. So, despite my obvious bias in wanting to keep Patreons, I'd caution everyone supporting me to only continue doing so if you're fine with the current situation. Webnovel, Royalroad and my ******* all keep publishing dates on the chapters I release, so you can keep track of my writing speed by looking there; until you feel it's worth it, reconsider wasting your time or money during these unstable times. I probably should have made this announcement sooner, considering the downgrade to my writing speed has been around for a month's worth of time, so I apologize.

I'll be putting out chapters when I can, but the majority of my focus right now is revisiting already published chapters, touching them up and documenting whatever I can in the novel's wiki page. Anyone wondering where I'm at can check the wiki page and even contribute if they're bored enough. That is all for now~

UPDATE (December 29th, 2019)
Alright, I'm about to get really real and admit to being a really shitty author these last three to four months. Truth be told, I really did want to take time to update the wiki and figure out how to handle what I thought were this novel's biggest failings in plot holes. However, to do that and find details that might have only been mentioned in passing, I had to eventually turn to rereading entire chapters.

Guys... I'm being as sincere as I possibly can right now. I have no fucking clue how I've developed a following after rereading the first couple chapters. I understand that authors can grow a lot after a year, but it hasn't even been that long and I believe the first hundred chapters are Trash with a capital T. It's borderline unreadable (upon proofreading this tirade, this might be a mild exaggeration, but it is true to my thoughts nonetheless) and the fact that I have nearly 4,000 followers after combining the collections on Webnovel with those following on RoyalRoad is incomprehensible to me. There are still even 19 people supporting me on ******* when I haven't released squat in nearly two months!

I've tried to ignore this. I've tried to work on other books. Hell I've even messed around with fanfiction, hoping to one day wake up and see everyone gone. Like the book had never existed. But like I said, there are still 4,000 people waiting for releases. More joining by the day and people still supporting the novel with spirits stones. Even 19 who value two chapters being at least a dollar.

Every time I think I'm ready to move on, ready to completely shut down the novel to start a new one, I think about those people and realize, "I'm a fucking bitch. Just finish the fucking novel, idiot." The passing of time has only made the feeling worse, so I guess this is a message consigning myself to completing this book, by any means necessary. I won't be able to focus on another story otherwise, so this update is more for me than for my audience.

That being said, the reason I felt inclined to give up on the novel in the first place was because of how terrible I found my writing from a nearly a year ago. So, I want to stress that I'm not going chuck a bunch of shit together to finish the story. Rather, I'm going to go back and rewrite things as I continue to catalogue things on the wiki.

Last couple things I want to quickly mention:

- I haven't really used any of the money I've made on ******* so I want to commission a legit book cover. Ditch that shit I made with my lacking Photoshop Skills...

-More on the money thing, after I finish rewriting the novel — it'll mostly be editing details that make the book seem less like it was written by an amateur, so the story progression won't at all change — I plan on also hiring people to format Book 1 and eventually Book 2 into legit e-reader and paperback formats. I know, I know...

"Greedy author, have you no shame?" 

Honestly, I want to follow pirate aba's style of keeping everything free, and I will. I'm not going to enter a contract with Webnovel or paywall chapters through kindle. However, for the people who for whatever reason want to have a kindle or physical copy of this (current dumpster fire of a) novel, I want it to at least be possible. There's also the benefit of gaining new readers through Amazon this way which is always a plus. 

Like the G.O.A.T. pirate aba — check out her (I think it's a her) book The Wandering Inn — I'll keep all the chapters on Webnovel and Royalroad free. Though the ******* thing will still be in effect at least until I finish the series or whatever.

-Since I'm rewriting the novel for the most part, I'll make more announcements as I continue updating the novel; meaning adding on to the story (Chapter 219, 220, etc...)

Unless it becomes too annoying and people request against it, I'll be adding "Revised" to Chapters that have been, well... revised.

-I'm going to be having some polls on RoyalRoad on a couple important things as I start getting back into the grind of updating this novel.

Namely: Should I change the name of the novel? If so, to what? What would you guys like the book cover to look like? Should I change the name of the Books/Arcs? 

That is all for now. So... I guess this is Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Years all in one?

Entered in the Cataclysm, an apocalyptic battle royale for the Chosen of Sponsor Gods and Goddess, with his life effectively changed into that of a game character, Adrian has to confront underground Secret Societies, Magic, Cultivation, and change dramatically if he is to have the slightest chance of survival.

With Book 2 done, here comes the shamelessness...

So, I'm now 5 years old. I'm in Year 1. If I was in Japan, I wouldn't even be going to school. Jesus, my classes are horrible. Everyone keeps treating me like a girl. Heck, even the teachers treat me like one. Well little problems. My friendship with James and Alma is going great. We really bonded over this year. My quirk has also seen some significant growth. I tried infusing the wind element into a paper throwing star, caused it to slice through a curtain. Definitely dangerous. I also find that I could make potions. I thought of Minecraft potion effects and thought 'hey what if I infuse energy and fire element into a water bottle.' First try I caused it to evaporate. Second produce a fire water, drank it by accident and it was like eating concentrated ghost chilli pepper. My tongue is still numb. Milk didn't really work on it. However, I could now produce pepper concentrate on the go. Bound to be useful. The third try, I created a fire resistance potion. Naturally(with me being the avatar) I'm resistant to passive flames. I tested it on an insect. I thought it worked but all it did was make the insect unable to feel temperature. I created a temperature numbing drug. Not bad if I do say so myself. I kept trying until I finally succeeded. Those insects' sacrifices would not be forgotten. My next test was to see if it worked on objects. So, I poured the potion onto a teddy bear and then using my expert control. Almost burned down my house. Yeah, didn't expect for things to go so outta control. Luckily only my bedroom got damaged before mother put out the fire. However, most thing in the room are either water damaged or burn damaged. She decided to flood my room with me in it. She's must me great at her hydro-kinesis. The teddy did survive, so I successfully crafted a potion  of fire resistance. But I won't be doing any more of this. Partially because I might damage the house. But mostly because mother used this as an excuse to sleep with me in the guest bedroom. My father was looking ecstatic, sacrificing his only son just to get some peace 


More importantly, the lives of Kouta's parents. Suggesting that Midoriya's 16 at the time (when they went to their camp outing Midoriya must be 16 at least. Otherwise they did so much in less than a school grade, which  is bullshit.) Kouta's parents must have died when Midoriya was 14. If I am almost the same age as the deku, I have to be able to take on an A/S-rank villain in 9 years. No sweat, Muscular is only like a diluted version of All-Might, Japan's Number 1 hero. Awww Shit. Well I must hope that I'm the same age, but I in some ways, to be part of the MHA world, I kinda need to be in Midoriya's class. 

That aside, time to create a manga and a light novel. Why you may ask, not to get money, but also to make a name and to get some influence. Okay, also money. With my memory retention, I can remember all light novels and plots I have ever seen. And with the manga market saturated with hero manga based on real life. My manga will be an 'original' and 'creative' masterpiece. I can't wait. I'll start with In Another World with My Smartphone. I want publicity, but it doesn't have to be good publicity. My manga will be Dragon ball. This is a classic. With its classical art style and gags, this'll win over the public. Now to convince my parents to get me The Technology.

"Mama, can I have tablet to draw on and watch cat videos." I say in a girlish voice.

"Sorry honey, but I don't think you old enough to have one." She says apologetically.

"Pwease, mama (activate puppy eyes) I really want it. Remember I love you thisssss much" widening my arms in a cute manor.

 She suddenly bolts out the door. Crap, did I overdo it. Well I better write down ten chapters for the light novel. I can't wait for the reaction.

~7 minutes later~

*Thud*

What the heck was that. Shit is it robbers. I quickly scramble out of the guest bedroom, checking every corner while I make my way to the front door. What I see next is a silhouette, holding a package, with a crazed look in their eye. Painting, she steps forward. Aw crap. I scrabble back, by back hitting the wall. My father peeks around a corner, he looks ready to pounce. Suddenly, the intruder takes a long, hard stare at hi. Their eyes meet, next second my father disappeared. Goddess damn it. Useless. It crouches down.

"Hello, daughter. Let's have some fun. Hehehehehe."

Oh No

~2 hours later~

 2 hours playing with that demon. Dressing me up in idol clothing she bought online, tickling me all over and recording the whole thing. I stumble out of the room, shaken by the hellish routine, this must be child abuse. Thankful, I got the top-of-the-line tablet which has 8192 levels pen pressure, 21.5" HD IPS Display, ultra-light-weight pen and drawing software support. This thing's perfect for drawing manga. Time to download a manga drawing app and start make manga. Then I need to contact a publisher. Better wait for a few years then contact them, it a bit unbelievable that a 5-year-old is pumping out manga.

I quickly show the manga I created to my mother and father; they are really impressed with the design as well as the story. They especially like the idea of a kid with a monkey tail and think that a world without quirks is pretty much original. It seems like my mother has some connection with publishers in japan, who knew. She said she would give them a call to see if they would be interested in it while also open a bank account for me.

Crackedhouse Studio Editor POV

Crackedhouse Studio, despite the naming sense, is one of the most well respected and influential publishers for Manga, Light novels, magazines and novels. However, anything that interests may be given some support. With branches in major countries around the globe, it allows them to meet with artists. It's an expensive but beneficial to their company in finding new authors.

Although it's competitors, DreamPlanet, slowly gaining popularity, mainly due to their new releases of a few light novels and Manga. Their names are In Another World Without A Quirk, Reincarnated As A Quirkless Sword; Watch Me Rise To The Top, My Wizard Academia and  their most popular manga The Quirk Stealer Skill Is Overpowered. While Crackedhouse Studio struggles to fin an exceptional manga to blow their opposition out of the water, DreamPlanet might steal their spot as number one.

Great, the manga chapter for Hero In Parallel World is late. How am I gonna explain this to the Bossman. God this is a disaster. With the pressure of DreamPlanet, Bossman demanded a decrease for the deadline. We're overburdened. One slipup when he's in a bad mood and I might lose my job. I don't want to work in a black company. Great, another phone call, I hope it's about when I'll get the new chapter.

"Hello this is Okuma Kaori of Crackedhouse studio how may I help you" droned Kaori

"Hello, my name is Shiro Teichi. My daughter created a wonderful manga and would like for your company to publish it. He's a genius 5-year-old. The manga's named Dragon Ball and is likely to gain a lot of popularity. I'll hope (for your sake) that you consider publishing this. Fufufufu." says Teichi.

Shiro Teichi. THE SHIRO TEICHI! The supervillain that devastated Endeavour, hospitalising him. " Y-yes, we would l-love to publish this manga, please submit them to our site and if they meet the criteria, we'll publish it."

"Great, it'll be published under pseudonym called Avatar_Rio. My daughter thought it's fantastic and you do too. Also, you don't have to be so worried. I don't bite... often." replied Teichi before hanging up.

I must tell the Bossman. This is huge.
 
Bossman (will not be named) POV

Kaori just came in panicking. Apparently, THE Shiro Teichi just called saying her daughter, under the fake name Avatar_Rio, wants to upload a manga called 'Drakon Balls' or whatever. I swear the stuff this girl comes up with makes my blood boil. Perhaps it's time to let her go, she's too much of an annoyance. Huh what's this. Somebody called Avatar_Rio just uploaded a manga called Dragon Ball. F@£%. I don't want to piss that woman off. Hopefully decent to the point where i won't get in trouble for publishing it.

~10 minutes later~

This manga is pure genius. It comedic with old school manga style, classic gags and the overall simplicity that you can't find in modern day manga make it wonderful. A 5-year-old created this; I must send somebody to meet this prodigy. I would go myself, but 'that' woman creeps the hell out of me. Kaori looks like you just saved you job.

MC's POV

~2 weeks later~

Looks like they accepted 'my' manga. Time to rake in those Jane Austens (£10 notes). It seems that today I will be meeting with an Editor of Crackedhouse studio. Can't wait. Suddenly, I'm grabbed from behind and before I know it, I'm wearing a summer dress. Ugh. Why does she want to dress me up now. It's bad enough that she makes me get these girly hairstyles... No. Nonononono. I will not meet the editor dressed like this.

*Doorbell rings*

FFS. Why does she want to take away all my dignity.

My father opens the door and invites in the editor. Right now, I am being restrained on my mother's lap.

"Hello, my name Okuma Kaori and I'm the editor sent from Crackedhouse studio. I'm here to speak to the daughter of Shiro Teichi, also known as Avatar_Rio. I'm assuming that the child on Shiro Teichi lap is her darling daughter" Kaori says, giving a bright smile.

What? Is she talking about me. I'm a boy, a boy. What has this woman told you. This defamation and slander. I demand restitution.

"Excuse me Ms, but I'm a boy, a BOY. Not a girl. Ask my father." I reply

I look to my father, All eyes are on him. Hopefully he'll sort this all out. Oh no. The look on my mothers face. It's like she's daring him to agree with me. You can do this, you feel great, you can win this. I keep chanting this over and over. Hoping that this might somewhat negate the inevitable.

"Shiro Kawa is my daughter" he whimpers

"Excuse me husband, I don't think I've heard you. Speak clearly"

"I said Shiro Kawa is my daughter"

The look on my father's face is so pathetic. My mother's face looks proud and happy, grinning from ear to ear. Father... you goddess-damn defeatist.

"Anyway, I'm here to discuss your contract. You will receive £110 for every page drawn and 9.5% royalty when your book is sold. This contract will last a year. At the end of the year it will be renewed. This is so that the amount of money you receive will increase after each year. However, this is dependent on whether or not your manga receives a good response." Kaori states

"What is my anga does bad? Will it be cancelled" I say, tilting my head to the right." Also isn't £110 a little too musch. I'm not complaining but I ant to know why so much."  Rio says (spelling on purpose to make him sound cute to get her off guard)

"The reason is because my boss believes that this manga would do well and that in the future, we will be exclusive partners. And if your manga gets cancelled you could try your luck at another company. But between me and you. I think that this manga is doing great." She replies giving a customer service smile.

There is a total of 519 chapters worth of Dragon ball, with the first 194 being adapted into Dragon ball and the 325 being adapted into Dragon ball Z. The first chapter of dragon ball was 30 pages. That alone is £3,300 but is also an exception. Let's say the average amount of pages was 14 per chapter for the whole of Dragon Ball series(194-1 so 193). I would make £297,220, without royalties, minimum. The Dragon Ball Z chapters also consisted of say 14 pages. I would earn £500,500, without royalties, minimum. I would have to pump out one chapter every week for their magazine and they would adapt every 12.1 chapters into a volume meaning each volume has 192 pages in it. Not bad. I cannot even imagine what the royalties are going to be. And i could easily handle the drawing. Thanks to my adaptable body, I could easily finish a chapter in a day(I don't have to story board and stuff. With memory retention, I can cheat a lot of this.) . This would only decrease as my body becomes more adapted to drawing. So, there is really no downside. Plus, I do not have to waste time story boarding and stuff so that cuts out a lot of it. And all I must do is send in a chapter to make it into their weekly magazine. So, it's 58 chapters per year. Perfect, I knew memory retention was a good choice. However, I do want more royalty.

"Ms, can I get 18% royalties and I'll sign the contract right away."

"Hmmm. Let me make a call and see what I can do." Says Kaori walking out the room. Minutes later she returns. "Okay seems like that's acceptable know time to go over the Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah" [Author goes into the contract, stating a lot of things. Not important.]

As Ms Okuma Kaori leaves, I feel accomplished. With this I'll easily be able to afford my endeavours. But I feel that she thinks I'm a girl. I need to fix that. Picture won't help. If I send them, she might get arrested. I might need to get my birth certificate. But mother locked that down tight. Problem for another day. I'll tell them about the light novel in a few years. Let me create a collection. I doubt anyone will come up with these ideas. And if they do, I'll sue them. Tell them they ripped of my idea and show the a few of the novels. I'll definitely win. Plus, I have my mother. They regret releasing her.

Truck-kun, goddess, reincarnation, avatar powers, Kacchan, izuku, the might, trap, my hero academia.
These word mean something. But I'm not sure what. This is my first novel published. And I have very little clue on what to do.

In a cafe located in northern Hollywood, Eric and Michael were discussing about Jurassic Park in detail.
 
Eric had already successfully negotiated a dividend of 7% for the royalties fees. The negotiations encountered problems when it came to the movie and television copyrights.
 
Michael was an old fox of the publishing circle, there was no way he wouldn't be able to tell the potential this book would have once it were to be adapted into a screenplay. Eric didn't raise any objection to his share of the dividend and this made Michael feel that he was indeed very young and inexperienced, therefore he proposed that his The Night Elves publishing company handle the movie and television rights, while they would both share the profits.
 
Hearing Michael's proposal, Eric bluntly refused: "That's impossible, Mr. Klaus."
 
Michael Klaus was somewhat taken aback by Eric's decisive refusal, but he quickly composed himself and said: "Eric, listen to me, when the 20th Century Fox wanted to buy the movie and TV rights for the author I previously told you about, I was the one who negotiated with them and we made over one million in profits. If the issue had been handled by the author, he might not even have made 500,000 dollars, that's the difference between an individual and a publishing house."
 
The two of them kept discussing for more than ten minutes, Michael kept enticing Eric, even taking the initiative to lower his own share of the copyrights dividend.
 
In the end, Michael Klaus discovered to his disappointment that this kid was nothing like a greenhorn, he was more like a well-honed shark who had dipped into troubled waters for years. Although he wasn't that familiar with their publishing circle, he was able to make keen and accurate guesses about the ins and outs of the industry.
 
What made Michael even more surprised was that this young man was not like any impulsive youngster his age. Although he had discovered Michael's intentions, he did not bluntly point it out, but subtly implied that he had instead.
 
Michael smiled bitterly and finally gave up on the Jurassic Park movie and television copyrights.
 
The following negotiations went smoothly, and the both of them quickly signed a contract.
 
"Happy partnership Eric, you will definitely not regret letting me take care of Jurassic Park." After signing the contract, Michael went back to his gentle and docile demeanor, as if his astute and cunning earlier manners were nothing but an illusion.
 
"Happy partnership Michael, I also hope so."
 
The two of them shook hands, sat back down and started chatting when Eric casually brought up: "Michael, from your personal connections, is there anyone from a film company ?"
 
Michael's eyebrows jumped: "Of course ! Otherwise, how do you suppose I recommended that other novel to 20th Century Fox ? I also have several other connections in other film companies you know. When I was still working at Simon & Schuster I was once responsible for handling those things. That's why Eric, if you let The Night Elves handle the Jurassic Park's movie and TV rights, I can directly recommend your book to producers from six different companies."
 
Eric shook his head and said: "Let's not bring this issue up again, Michael. I won't give up the slightest bit of the Jurassic Park copyrights. Right now I am completing a script, and if possible, I hoped that you could help by recommending it."
 
Having his ignited hopes extinguished once again, Michael wasn't that interested in Eric's script, but out of politeness he patiently asked: "Could you tell me a bit about it ?"
 
"It goes like this," Eric reorganized his train of thoughts: "18 years ago, 17-year-old Mike O'Donnell will soon participate in the most important basketball game of his life. As long as he does well, he will get a scholarship and a clean pass to the Ivy League. However, before the start of the game, his girlfriend Scarlett tells him that she is pregnant. On his way to the stadium, Mike discards the basketball in his hands, and decides to shoulder his own responsibilities as he leaves the athletic field resolutely. 18 years later, time has passed and his glory has faded, Mike has become a middle-aged man full of regrets, and his marriage with Scarlet is on the verge of collapse…"
 
Eric didn't go into the details but briefly narrated the story. After witnessing Mr. and Mrs. Runkle's quarrel that day, he had immediately thought about the movie 17 Again. A 17 year-old body with the soul of a middle-aged man, wasn't this simply tailor-made for him ?
 
Michael Klaus' eyes became increasingly brighter, he very much liked Eric, he had just barely obtained Jurassic Park that this lad was giving him another pleasant surprise.
 
The travel in time type of movies had just been introduced a few years back and although their popularity was increasing, as of now, the market for them was pitifully sparse. Therefore as long as the movie was good, it would make a satisfying box office.
 
Not to mention the 1985 blockbuster Back To The Future, this year alone, two movies from the same genre had been very well received. One was 18 again, after being screened for two weeks, they had already made twice their initial budget. Another one that made it to the box office with a final benefit of over a hundred million dollars was BIG. This movie also made Penny Marshall into the first ever female director to have passed the hundred million mark in North America.
 
"It's a good story, Eric. But did you know that those kind of scripts are a dime a dozen nowadays ? Not even mentioning the fact that you're a bonafide unknown fledgling." In order to gain the upper hand during the negotiations, Michael put back on his cunning fox mask. He had just been wallowing in frustration thanks to the Jurassic Park movie and television copyrights negotiation, so this was his chance to make a comeback.
 
Eric smiled faintly, how could he not see through what Michael was thinking ? He stretched out five fingers and straightforwardly said: "50% commission !"
 
"What ?!" Michael was stunned.
 
Eric said: "Michael, you didn't mishear me, if the script sells successfully, I will give you 50% of the benefits as commission. However, I have a condition."
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, Michael heard Eric's last sentence and sighed at how this little guy had him wrapped around his little finger.
 
"What is it ?"
 
"I want to star as the leading role, as young Mike O'Donnell."
 
"That's impossible." Michael immediately said: "Even the film director might not necessarily have the power to make decisions concerning the casting, not to mention you, a rookie writer."
 
"You know there is a saying, that man proposes and God disposes." Eric said: "Without giving it a shot, how would you know it's impossible ? Also, with BIG's release, the chances for it to happen went up a notch."
 
Michael Klaus was taken aback and he could not help but ask: "What does this have to do with BIG ?"
 
Eric casually stirred his cup of coffee with his spoon and replied: "I think that movie is likely to pass the hundred million dollars mark at the box office, and if I'm right, someone might consider taking a look at a script with the same genre and a storyline that does not lose out in the slightest."
 
Michael hadn't seen BIG, but he didn't doubt Eric's words and said: "Alright, Eric, I will try, so about the commission…"
 
"Michael, you greedy old man, look at you trying to get more out of this than I, the author himself !"
 
Michael scratched his nose in embarrassment: "Hey don't say that, even if you are to be cast as a rookie actor, your salary wouldn't be any less than 500,000$. When it comes to the script, it could already be considered good if we got 200,000$."
 
Although he said that, Michael didn't really raise the matter of the commission again. When they were about to part outside the coffee shop he suddenly said: "Actually, Eric, I can't help but think that you would truly suit the role of your script's lead. When we were discussing the contract, I felt like I was negotiating with those old foxes, not an 18-year-old high-school student."
 
Eric smiled: "Don't mind the details Michael, I'll give you the script in two days, I hope you'll be able to bring me some good news."

An advertising director is reborn in 1988 Hollywood as an eighteen-year-old blond-haired westerner named Eric Williams.

ATTENTION!

This is not an original novel, all rights in this story belong to JUST DO.

The translation of most chapters is done by: Elawn, Nano4bots and Sissy That Walk.

My translation will start where they have left it, my translation may not be as good as theirs but I would like it much more people to know more about this story that I liked so much.

I WANT THAT I LIKE THIS HISTORY A LOT, BUT I DO NOT AGREE TO A LOT OF THE BEHAVIORS BOTH OF THE PROTAGONIST AND SOME CHARACTERS. IN THIS HISTORY CHARACTERS OF REAL LIFE APPEAR AND I DO NOT ASSURE THAT THE DATA PROVIDED IN THIS HISTORY WILL BE TRUE.

Hello, to anyone who still cares enough to read this. 

Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to the people who gave me feedback on my novel and supported me during my short three-week run. For that, I am eternally grateful. 

I kind of disappeared out of the blue without saying anything because I couldn't take it anymore. It was stupid of me to do, but here I will be trying to list my reasons and I hope you can understand.

I began to write for WebNovel after seeing their advertisement for up and coming authors to make a living off of writing. I hate myself for being so naive. Looking back on it now, it was like falling for any other scam on the internet. Stuff like "Doctor's hate him because ... " and "Sign up to win ... " Etc Etc. 

As a twenty-three-year-old university student working two jobs, the only time I could fit to write was during the hours of 12 am and 5 am. It was literally killing me to publish chapters as I began to fall asleep in class, and my performance at work got a bit sloppy. 

But for the most part, I enjoyed writing the chapters because I loved to write. I loved to publish a chapter and stalk it until someone posted a reply. That moment when the first person said something meant the world to me. Because it meant someone cared that my story existed, and for this reason, I tried to push myself to put out more and more chapters. 

Things started to go wrong though, as most things do. Webnovel's feedback system is the most depressing thing. It actively tracked how many people had my novel in their collection and how many total views the novel had. However, the only number that matter was the collections. 

The thing was, these numbers were always bugged and never gave me a clear indication as to the scale of my readers. Aside from the usual comments from return readers, the number didn't mean anything. It was like running in one spot, over and over without any clear indication to if I was making any progress. It's horrible when the work you put in seems to yield basically no results. 

I was feeling euphoric watching my collections pass 100. You guys don't know the scale to my happiness. I basically woke up my whole household in celebration.

Then, in the author's discord channel, they confirmed that everything on the interface was bugged. Yep, talk about a slap in the face. 

To summarize ... I was and still am a hopeful about making a career out of my writing. But doing it on Webnovel is ill-advised. Unless that is if you are writing a fan-fiction or another cliche 'system' novel. In that case, I believe you'll find much success. 

Also, if you guys want to know the biggest reason for my departure from WN; in the search function, look up 'Da Contract'. It's the actual web novel contract. Even if you guys don't know the lingo its fine. Just take a look through and you'll understand my frustrations. 

The staff never really cared about us authors either. They seldom gave out prizing for contests and were hush-hush about even attaining a contract. But reading through it ... this thing is a slave contract. I kid you not. Anyone who is desperate enough to sign, I give you my condolences. But it's completely and utterly unbefitting of a professional "employer-producer" relationship. 

And the fact that tried to keep the contract under wraps ... they knew what they were doing.

Thankfully, a fellow author "ink bamboo" was quick to point this out to me. Otherwise, I would possibly be still slaving away here, with no end in sight. I probably would have hung myself if all my stress ended up culminating with being presented with this contract ... 

There are so many things I want to say, but I find myself more and more depressed as I think about it. An entire month of my life down that drain ... it feels bad.

I was told to try my hand with self-publishing on Amazon with Kindle. I believe it's more worth it for me to try there. If people buy my book and like it, at least I can get immediate feedback. If it doesn't work out... well, I suppose it just means I don't have the talent for writing.

Imperious Edge will continue, but not here. Not in this depressing hellscape. 

To my frequent readers, I am sorry, deeply and truly sorry that I have let you down. I can only hope you understand my choices. I often end my chapters with a bow, and to that, I give you my final respectful gesture as I sign off here. 

Perhaps it's asking too much, but I hope you guys would care enough to support me in my endeavours to becoming an amateur author. When I publish my first Volume, I will update this. 

Again, thank you and best wishes to all your future endeavours. May they yield more fruit and success than this. 

Forever yours, 

-Vincent-

WN is crap. They're slave drivers and made me question why I was wasting my time here. I'm sorry, but I just can't sit here and take it.

In fact, Cai Yinong had been musing over whether to call or not. Originally, she was very optimistic about Jiang Cheng. He was a talent who could both act and write, if he joined Shanghai Tangren, she knew it would be a great addition to the firm, so she was very much hoping that Jiang Cheng would accept her offer and sign to Shanghai Tangren.
But, Jiang Cheng's behavior after their meeting was truly irritating. He said he would go back and think over it but then there was nothing from him. He neither agreed nor disagreed.
What did he think Shanghai Tangren was?
Although they weren't insanely massive they were still a prominent firm in the domestic scene and they were growing rapidly. So being seemingly brushed aside like nothing left her feeling somewhat indingant and she refused to contact Jiang Cheng first.
But it didn't take long for Cai Yinong to hear that Jiang Cheng was actually the author of the popular novel [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] and she was shocked again.
She had witnessed Jiang Cheng's talent firsthand, so she knew right from the beginning that [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] was written by Jiang Cheng, despite the rumors and allegations that followed after his announcement and sure enough, Jiang Cheng later proved himself.
Cai Yinong knew that Jiang Cheng was a talented writer, but she didn't expect him to write a book, let alone a historical novel at that. And it actually blew up becoming massively popular.
She knew Jiang Cheng was destined to become a star with his talent and this was just testament to that, he was bound to begin catching people's eyes at this rate. Which was exactly what she didn't want!
Cai Yinong wasn't an ordinary person, she was filled with drive and ambition so despite how she felt about Tang Yan's response to her initial offer. She quickly picked up the phone and made a call to Jiang Cheng. No matter what the result, it was better to have tried than to have just let him slip through her fingers.
Seeing Cai Yinong calling, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Recently, he had been so busy with [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] that he had completely forgotten about her offer to sign him to Shanghai Tangren.
"Hey, Sister Cai. How are you?" Jiang Cheng said, picking up the call.
"I have been so busy writing and publishing my book recently."
"Are you calling about signing to Shanghai Tangren?"
"Ahhh I'm so embarrassed to say that it slipped my mind."
"How about this, let's meet tomorrow."
"Yeah sure, bring the contract, let's talk tomorrow."
Jiang Cheng had already told his parents about selling [Autumn's Concerto] and Shanghai Tangren's offer to sign him. At which, Jiang Dejun and Gao Linlan had nothing more to express except for a little surprise, Jiang Cheng's recent actions had shocked them enough already.
And after Jiang Cheng explained the importance of film and television media in detail, Jiang Dejun was now more accepting of Jiang Cheng entering the film industry.
Researching and running background on Shanghai Tangren, Jiang Dejun also held a good impression of the company, he expressed his opinion but asked Jiang Cheng to make his own decision. Jiang Cheng was already interested and leaning towards signing with Shanghai Tangren, and so when he heard that Jiang Dejun and Gao Linlan weren't against it, he made up his mind.
....
Jiang Cheng and Cai Yinong, along with her assistant met at the same Starbucks cafe but the atmosphere was different. The status of both parties had changed, Jiang Cheng felt more confident than a month ago.
Looking at the young but astute face in front of him, Cai Yinong couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Sure enough, the situation had changed.
There were no polite words between the two parties when they met. Cai Yinong asked Milan to take out the proposed contract before handing it over to Jiang Cheng.
The contract from Shanghai Tangren was extremely generous. The signing bonus was ¥500,000 yuan and the contract duration was three years. They were even offering him 5.5% on royalties for his future scripts. This was an insane contract for a newcomer.
Jiang Cheng instantly lost the last bits of hesitation he was having about signing. A half a million yuan signing bonus was generous but what really got him was the 5.5% royalty cut which was absolutely unprecedented for a newcomer. That was the rate of a veteran, someone who had written multiple scripts and had reputable accolades to his name.
Although a standard salary wasn't bad, compared to getting royalties on a popular film or tv show, it really couldn't compare. Even if your movie only made a $1 million, you would earn at least $55,000 from the box office and that's before reruns on TV and selling DVDs and merchandise.
And not stopping it there, Shanghai Tangren actually put in a clause allowing Jiang Cheng to suggest and put forward his own amendments to the show/film.
At which if his suggestion was adopted, then Shanghai Tangren would provide a consultation bonus!
If the contract was made public, it would definitely attract jealousy from other newcomers and even among some veterans.
Originally, Jiang Cheng reading that the contract duration was three years, was a little hesitant but reading all the benefits they were offering, it made sense they would want to hold onto him as long as possible and recoup their investment.
He had nothing to pick at from the contract, he was more than satisfied.
"It's a very good deal. Unprecedented for a newcomer probably. I am very satisfied! Then Sister Cai, let's sign the contract now!"Jiang Cheng said to Cai Yinong with satisfaction after reading the contract.
And with that both parties signed the contract and Jiang Cheng became a screenwriter and actor under Shanghai Tangren.
After signing the contract, the distance between the two parties immediately decreased, and Cai Yinong said with a smile: "Acheng, what are your plans for the future?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and replied: "I'm focused on writing right now and finishing off my book but after [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] is published and I hold the book signing. I plan to quiet down, go to school and study for a while."
Cai Yinong looked at him admiringly and nodded. This was what she was hoping for, although Jiang Cheng was on a roll right now this was all in writing. He was still a newcomer in acting and needed to finish off his studies. It was great that he was sober and not drunk on his sudden success. He was still young and needed to continue sharpening himself.
"I think that's a great plan, I plan to announce that you've signed under Shanghai Tangren after October, when we begin filming for [Autumn's Concerto]." Cai Yinong said while smiling at him.
Jiang Cheng nodded. Smart move, it seemed that this time he had really found the right company!

Jiang Cheng a screenwriter is reincarnated to 2001, into the seventeen-year-old body of another Jiang Cheng. 

Clutching onto the dreams of his previous life he attempts to succeed where he previously failed. 

He starts from scratch, as a small-time screenwriter writing television shows and movie scripts. 

Filled with dreams of becoming a generational  entertainment legend and establishing an entertainment empire he takes the road to become the King of Film.
