There was a YouTuber who lived alone... One day when he was editing a video, he heard footsteps in the kitchen, and he went to investigate... He was shocked to see what happened to his kitchen.

Cai Songyin had always been proud of the sound quality of the top-grade stereo surround sound system imported from Germany. However, today was the first time she hated how the sound quality was too realistic. If this was an impersonation, then their skills were far too impressive… Tan Dongbang's voice was so familiar to her and had spoken in her ears for so many years that she could hardly tell the difference from this impersonation! All their beautiful, youthful memories, their romantic and loving past all suddenly collapsed under the blow of the two people's explicit pillow talk emanating from the stereo. Cai Songyin stood expressionless in the middle of the room and slowly raised her increasingly shaky hands to cover her ears as she screamed madly, "Ah–!"
It's fake! It's fake! This isn't real! Cai Songyin wanted her screams to overpower the disgusting sounds from the stereo, but she discovered that no matter how loudly she screamed, those intimate conversations found a crack to delve into her ears, brain, and heart. Unable to stand the toture, Cai Songyin finally burst into tears and cradled her head in her hands as she sat on the floor. The floor was covered with a fine-quality handwoven wool rug imported from the Middle East. She opened her eyes to look at the vine pattern on the rug while she screamed and cried her heart out. The bedroom had excellent sound insulation, so no one outside would hear her, even if she screamed until she lost her voice. She took this opportunity to vent without any self restraint. After crying, Cai Sonyin supported herself on the ground to slowly climb up. Grabbing the remote on the vanity, her face was ashen. At this moment, the voices in the stereo had already changed like a movie montage changing locations.
She heard someone saying urgently, "...Where's the Prime Minister? He needs to sign this document right away!"
"Just wait, the Prime Minister… is in a meeting." The person speaking was totally serious and was none other than Tan Dongbang's chief secretary. His tone and inflection proved that he was totally aware of what Tan Dongbang and Gu Yanran were doing. Cai Songyin completely froze. The chief secretary's words clearly proved that these shameless adulterers were actually having a tryst in the Office of the Prime Minister!
She couldn't take it anymore and raised her arms to viciously throw the remote towards the wall-mounted speakers. There was a loud bang, and the top-quality speakers fizzled a few times before retreating into silence. Cai Songyin panted as she stood in the bedroom for a long time before she expressionlessly dressed herself and looked in the mirror to put on a coral-colored lipstick. This color would brighten her skin tone. Her face was currently dark and oppressive, so she couldn't go out in public without some brightening.
Taking out her phone, she opened the control system for the speakers and logged in to find the file containing the sounds so she could download it onto her phone. To her surprise, the file was actually a video file with sound. If she played it on her phone, she could not only hear the voices but also see the footage! On the phone, she saw the two people on the bed twisted in all sorts of positions, and the last shred of hope in her heart died. The voice wasn't an impersonation, nor was this a trap. It was actually her beloved husband. They had been friends for decades, yet his image totally collapsed in front of her. She knew she was done for, and her life was unsalvageable now. Their many years of love didn't overcome this man's political ambitions. There was no way she could ever support Tan Dongbang ever again.
A shrewd person like Tan Dongbang would only see Cai Songyin as his burden that would drag him down in the future. No wonder he couldn't wait to get involved with Gu Yanran. She was the wealthiest person in Barbados and had a fortune that rivaled a nation's. She was also young, beautiful, and was in her prime. There was no single thing in which Cai Songyin could win against her. She was nearly 50 and at her age, losing her marriage and husband meant losing everything. But if these two people thought Cai Songyin would obediently retreat from the stage, then they were seriously mistaken. Tan Dongbang wanted to get rid of her? Gu Yanran wanted to use her to get ahead? Dream on…
Cai Songyin expressionlessly began using the professional video editing software on her phone to begin editing the video. She had originally worked in media, so making video edits like this was a piece of cake. First, she blurred out the background and Tan Dongbang's body and face to only reveal the general image of the bed. Then she also processed his voice until it couldn't be recognized. As for Gu Yanran, Cai Songyin enhanced clarity and contrast tools to even preserve the high resolution so that her body was explicitly exposed on the screen. Even the obvious birthmark on her right breast could be clearly seen. Finally, Cai Sonyin selected the most shocking part of the footage to save into two files. One was a two-minute short film, while the other was a 30-second spotlight feature on Gu Yanran. She uploaded the original video file to her cloud drive and protected it with a password before deleting the backup on her phone. She then used her phone's video player to watch the two-minute short film several times to ensure that it didn't reveal even a sliver of Tan Dongbang in it. She finally smirked. Taking several deep breaths, Cai Songyin walked out solemnly.
She came down the winding staircase, and when she was halfway down, she saw that the projector was in use downstairs. On the white projection screen that was as tall as a wall was the pink diamond crown Gu Yanran had gifted to Tan Guiren. Afterwards, she overheard Gu Nianzhi accuse Gu Yanran of stealing her possession to curry favor with someone else and even say she would make sure to take every single thing back…
Because of her daughter, Tan Guiren, Cai Songyin had always disliked Gu Nianzhi. But somehow she felt strangely elated to hear Gu Nianzhi berate Gu Yanran. Just as their ancestors said, the enemy's enemy was a friend. Cai Songyin snickered as she took out her phone to connect to the projector's control app and discreetly send the two-minute short film she had just edited onto the video player for the projector. Because all the electronics in the Prime Minister's official residence were controlled by a smart system, all the other places aside from the bedroom could be controlled by a phone instead of remotes. She only needed to download a central control app, and Cai Sonyin happened to use this app to upload the two-minute short film. Afterwards, Cai Sonyin logged into her own secondary Weibo account to upload the 30-second spotlight feature on Gu Yaran…
…
Gu Nianzhi had just berated Gu Yanran and threatened to "expose her" and make her "prostitute herself," so the words were still echoing in everyone's ears. Gu Yanran's sorrowful look gained sympathy from many as they thought Gu Nianzhi was being too aggressive and crossing the line. Suddenly, the dimmed projector illuminated with a beam of light once again to shine onto the projection screen ahead. It turned on by itself. Everyone's eyes were naturally glued to the beam of light and looked towards the projection screen. In the blink of an eye, two people tossing around in bed suddenly appeared on the white screen! The man's body and face had been blurred out, so no one could tell who it was. However, no one would really care, even if they could see it, because the woman's body and face on the screen captured everyone's full attention! Everyone only needed one glance to immediately recognize that the woman curling like a snake around the man was Gu Yanran!
Yin Shixiong's eyes widened, and he quickly glanced around before covering Ma Qiqi's eyes with one hand. "Don't look at it!"
Ma Qiqi was eagerly watching it, so why wouldn't she keep looking? Stomping her foot down, it caused Yin Shixiong so much pain that he jumped away. Ma Qiqi could then widen her eyes and watch the short film clearly, as the female lead was just standing not far from her.
The hall echoed with Gu Yanran's soft and alluring sex sounds. She was not the typical siren. People who had just thought Gu Nianzhi was being too aggressive immediately changed their perspective. This Gu Yanran was too big of a hypocrite! If it wasn't for this adult rated film, barely anyone would've known Gu Yanran had such a side to her!
…
Gu Yanran was already very humiliated after arguing with Gu Nianzhi. She never thought that something more embarrassing awaited her! Starting at her own naked body on the giant screen, she saw that the resolution was extremely high with enhanced contrast and color treatment. She began to black out! Without thinking, she looked at Prime Minister Tan, but he looked at her like she was a ghost and stumbled as he nearly ran upstairs to escape.
Tan Guiren turned around to glance at the screen and was also shocked. Covering her mouth, she stood on the winding staircase and didn't know what to do. Cai Songyin was the only one to slowly walk down the stairs step by step to stand before Gu Yanran, who was shaking uncontrollably. She covered her smile. "Miss Gu, what are you doing? Today is Little Darling's birthday party. How could you be so careless as to play your private video and share it with everyone?"
Gu Yanran couldn't stand it anymore and turned around to point at Gu Nianzhi as she screamed, "You're too shameless! How can you play such a thing to get back at me!? You violated my privacy!" In her anger, she even forgot to claim the video was Photoshopped. Of course, with a high resolution video like that, whomever she accused of using Photoshop would have had to possess incredible skill.
This incident obviously had nothing to do with Gu Nianzhi. She rolled her eyes and already knew who was behind it all. Spreading her palms, Gu Nianzhi said calmly, "Gu Yanran, don't bark up the wrong tree. Why would I have your filthy things? Look carefully at who the male lead in the video is. This video was most likely made by the male lead's wife or girlfriend."
Gu Yanran instantly understood that it wasn't Gu Nianzhi but Cai Songyin who was behind this! She then looked at the continuously replaying video and felt even more humiliated and angry. Lunging over, she frantically tried to shut off the projector, but for some reason, she couldn't turn it off. On the screen, she continued to tumble, and everyone in the hall got over their initial shock to find the video more and more hilarious.
The quick-reflexed people took out their phones to record it. However, even people who didn't record it on their phones but saw it with their own eyes had a hard time erasing the endlessly looping video from their heads. It was made far too well! Even special original footage from Japan couldn't rival it. There was a beautiful soundtrack, emotional dialogue, and although the male lead had been blurred out, that left even more to the imagination.
Amid the chaos, He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng walked inside. They glanced at the video replaying in the hall, and Huo Shaoheng folded his hands unhappily behind his back as he said coldly, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a birthday party at the Prime Minister's official residence—not an adult-rated party. Please show some self-respect."


Gu Nianzhi had no idea how to get the aloof and handsome Major General to fall in love with her. 

His eyes were dark and serious. "...Seduce me. If you can do it, I’m yours." 

Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"

Today the weather was great, the sun was out and shining and it was at least 25 degrees so Sam dressed pretty lightly. A black tee shirt with a pair of ripped jeans and the pair of Nike Air Force 1 he bought with Eric, Em was also dressed lightly with a white tee shirt, a short jeans and a pair of adidas baskets.

The clothes were cool but they weren't adapted to biking so they left it home and took the subway downtown, a bike fall was too dangerous Sam didn't want to try it as it was also the first time he actually drove a bike and this thing was very powerful.

A long while later the subway finally stopped in the station and most of the people got down, a few only were left inside. The station wasn't very beautiful but at least it was practical as you couldn't get lost since the entrance and exit were the same. 
Right in front of the exit Em' said 

"Big bro I want to eat McDonald's !" 

"Isn't it too early for a McDonald's ? What about a breakfast instead ?"

Em' looked at him with frowned eyebrows and said 

"You said whatever I want !"

He couldn't refuse her anything so she had a McDonald's hamburger as a breakfast that morning.

Slowly the day went by, she wanted to watch a movie ? They watched a movie, she wanted new clothes ? She got new clothes, she was hungry ? She ate whatever she wanted.
Today was her day and she was definitely happy keeping a big smile on her mouth all the day !

Sometime during the day they passed by an apple store, The phone Sam had was an obsolete model for awhile so he thought of having a look at what was done these days. He grabbed Em's hand and took her inside, the design was grand and beautiful, very pure just like their products. From what he heard the latest model at the moment was something like the iPhone X, he went to look at it and it looked nothing like his old thing. The price was almost as expensive as the computer that should be arriving today and he didn't have enough so he just left and kept playing with Em', he'd come back when he get his next paycheck from "Chords to the core". 

Finally they were done with their day and went back home, inside their mailbox was a paper saying that the deliveryman passed by and couldn't find anyone so he left the package at the nearest postoffice . Sam had omitted this detail when he prepared his days schedule : their mailbox wasn't big enough to hold the package.

Too bad that the post office was closed now, they had played for too long it was already 8pm when they made it home, he'll have to go and get it in his own tomorrow.

He just did dinner for both of them, they ate only junk food today so he wanted to end the day with something more healthy. After dinner and watching a bit TV he sent Em' to bed and also went to sleep himself, today wasn't a good day only for her but for him also. His life had become too fast paced recently and today permitted him to have a break and think things through, spending time with Em' was so relaxing.

/
/
/

The next morning Sam didn't lose time and went to grab his package while Em' was still sleeping, today was the last day of the week end so he left her sleep as much as she wanted. 

Soon he came back, opened his package and inside was a beautiful silver laptop with a white half eaten apple on the back. He wasn't the kind of people to buy all things that Apple did but he had to agree with the fact that they did a great designing job, he opened it and turned it on. Seconds later it was on the desktop screen, his old computer would have taken at least 10 times the time to turn on completely. After getting used to his new machine he started downloading the same video editing software and went to do breakfast, Em had yet to wake up even though it was already 9am she liked sleeping the most right after eating but she couldn't do it on the other days so she enjoyed it the most she could on Sundays. 

/
/
/

After breakfast he left Em' in front of the TV and went to keep going with his things, the video editing started at 10 AM, he worked on every small detail, since he wasn't in the Internet cafe he could take as much time as he wanted. He was so engrossed in the work that Em had to come and tell him she was hungry at midday, that's when she saw the new computer.

"Wow it looks so cool ! When did you buy it ?"

What he was fearing the most happened, now she would want to play with it all the times !

"Yeah I just bought it, you want one too ?"

"Really ?! I can ?! Yes yes I want !"

"Go watch TV for the moment, I'll do lunch. I don't have enough money but I'll buy you one soon."

During the afternoon he kept working on the music video, after 6 hours of total work he was done. The song was a slow paced love song and the music video was composed of shoots of him and Keith working on the song, some parts in the recording room, other in front of the mixing table and finally some of him holding the guitar for the brand. In the end the result was very satisfying in his opinion, the completion of an original song was a more fulfilling than doing a cover for sure. 

After a few clicks and a bit of waiting the song was published on YouTube under the name :'Love me' by Sam feat Keith. He also included Keith's name as he did at least 50 percent of the work, he had to at least do that for him if he wasn't going to pay him for his work. Since it had been awhile he didn't check his count views he went and clicked on his account. His first cover of changes by xxxtentacion had reached 600 000 views, while the rest didn't go up as much it was still bringing him some money in the wallet. 

Of course he didn't forget to send a message to Roland to let him know that the video was out, his boss was getting impatient so he had to let them know that he did his part of the job.

This time the issue would be that he won't be able to use the hype around an artist to boost his count view, his subscribers would be the first one to see then the people that they would share it with but that would have a limit.

Today he had to find another way to promote his channel, he had already thought of a few solutions and had yet to decide on one.
First he could call Eric and get his help another time, asking too much wasn't a good thing either.
Second he could participate in a talent show in TV, this would be the best option but he would have to leave the city as nothing happened here and would probably have to take Em' with him to the capital, even if it was only temporary she would still have to ditch lot of classes.

He needed a solution fast.

Sam and his little sister live alone but his life is already hard enough trying to end his studies and give her the best life possible while facing bullies and financial issues. This is when he acquires the choice system which from time to time give him the choice between two skills or attributes.

If someone likes my work and can do me a better cover than the one I did myself for free I’ll take it thankfully haha

The hunt for the dark elf chief was smooth. So far...

"Heal!"

The two warriors, Carl and Crawford, blocked the dark elf chief.

"These humans dare—!" The dark elf chief cornered the two warriors with his unique sharp movements.

Len fired an arrow at the chief. "Power Shot!"

At this moment, Taeng showed himself in the corner. There was a tiny stone held in Taeng's hand. He threw the stone toward Len's shoulder. Len was hit by the stone, making his aim go a bit off. The result was disastrous.

"Kuaack!"

He pierced the dark elf's shoulder, not his blade. Then the dark elf chief's dagger pierced Carl's neck as the sword struck him in the shoulder. Len realized that something was strange and yelled at Crawford, "Get out! Run away!"

'Now.'

"Where are you going? You should die here." There was a person who blocked their retreat with a cheerful smile. It was Hyeonu.

"W...Why?"

"Why? If you are planning to hit someone in the back, then you should know if you can beat them. Yet you didn't know this?"

"Step aside! Why do you mean by hitting someone in the back?"

"What about 'Let's catch the chief and pretend to kill him by mistake. Our good intentions became twisted'? Wasn't that what you said?"

"...Then?" Len realized the truth and fell into despair.

The fish caught in the net wasn't Hyeonu, who was standing before them, but themselves.

"It is as you are thinking. It is you, not me."

It was a terribly chilling truth. Len pulled out a dagger and charged toward Hyeonu. He only fired arrows from a distance and couldn't compete in close combat with Hyeonu. Len could be killed in a single attack. Yet it didn't happen. Hyeonu wanted to create an indelible memory for Len.

'Don't do this again.'

He wanted to completely trample on this person.


***


Team Holic's leader, Len, died. He died with a body entirely covered with wounds.

'He probably won't do this again.'

"Human!!" Now there was only the chief left.

"Taeng, buff!"

"Forest's Blessing. Bear's Momentum."

The real battle was starting now. The dark elf chief's movements were swift, but they were simple. Hyeonu reacted decisively to every action. This was the end. The dark elf chief lost to Hyeonu even though he normally abused level 50 players who had priest's buffs applied. Additionally, it was too one-sided.

The dark elf chief was helpless. He didn't succeed with even one attack. It was blocked by Hyeonu every time. In the end, Hyeonu cut into the dark elf chief's abdomen. It wasn't a deep wound, but it was enough to limit his movements.

"A human at most..."

"At most... It is sad. Do you know? Hey~ you're going to die today because of a human." Hyeonu showed off his distinctive stance of a sword on his shoulder and accepted the chief's words.

Hyeonu's provocation worked well. The dark elf chief ignored the wound in his abdomen and ran forward. The chieftain's attacks were significantly slower than they were before. It was as if he were moving through water.

Hyeonu couldn't be affected by these types of attacks. He used exquisite movements to dodge the dark elf chief. Simultaneously, Hyeonu's longsword moved. Tok. The arm holding a dagger fell to the ground.

"Grrrr..." The dark elf chief groaned from the pain of his arm being cut off. No, he tried to do so. However, his neck had already been cut.


[The dark elf chief has been killed.]

[Experience has been acquired.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power have been restored.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power have been restored.]


'Two levels... good.'

Taeng jumped onto Hyeonu's shoulder. Then he did a high-five with Hyeonu. It was a ceremony of triumph. Hyeonu's big picture was a success.

"Uhahaha!"


***


"Three inventories."

The result of the big picture was gorgeous. After all, they were professional PK criminals. The penalty resulted in them dropping a lot of expensive equipment. Unfortunately, the priest wasn't a murderer, so only a few miscellaneous items were dropped.

'Isn't it quite profitable?'

Rare items in the level 50 range were worth at least hundreds of thousands of won, no matter how bad they were. If a popular effect was attached, then it could easily exceed one million won.

'I'd love it if all of their items dropped.'

Hyeonu checked each item. There weren't any expensive items apart from the rare items.

"Eh? What is this wealth?"

Then a fairly good item came from Len's inventory.

"A random rare skill book?"

Random rare skill book—Hyeonu had seen it a few times. This item gave a rare rated skill. It was naturally expensive, very much so.

'Should I sell it?'

Hyeonu struggled while holding the skill book in his hand. Should he make money by selling the skill book or use it to possibly get a bigger jackpot?

"I'll go to town first and think about it later."


***


"Did you sell it?" Yeongchan asked Hyeonu who was scouring his laptop.

"Yes, I'll sell it soon. I only need to subtract the fee of 500."

"You were lucky. How did you meet those guys?"

Hyeonu explained the situation roughly. It was the story of the people who tried to take Hyeonu's items. Yeongchan thought it was ridiculous when he heard it. They had picked the wrong target. They didn't aim for anyone else; they aimed for Gang Hyeonu.

'Trying to catch a madman... Their luck was lousy.' Yeongchan expressed his condolences for those who reached an obvious end.

"Did you shoot a video?"

"A video? I took it."

"Then pass it to me."

He would do something for Hyeonu. Yeongchan received the video Hyeonu had stored on his laptop. Hyeonu disappeared into the cube, and Yeongchan remained alone in the living room.

"This person is a bit lacking, and this one can't be contacted. Shall I raise the price a little bit?"

Yeongchan was looking for someone to make a video of Hyeonu. The thing Hyeonu needed now was publicity. He needed to raise awareness of Hyeonu before his streaming debut. Yeongchan decided to edit some of Hyeonu's gaming videos into a movie. It was the original video from before Hyeonu even opened his mouth. There was nothing more to desire if great editing techniques were added. It was a jackpot.

'A jackpot, naturally.'

"Ah, found it."

One person's name and contact information appeared on Yeongchan's laptop.


[Ellis Movies]

[Field: Arena video editing expert.

Career: #1 in the video category of the month for Arena World. Arena Maker of the Year.]


"It is expensive but...'

Three million won—some people might think it was too much money spent for editing a video that was only 30 minutes. However, the value of this money... It was not expensive at all considering the value it would bring. Additionally, Ellis Movies was the top among such movie makers. It was a name Yeongchan would never have known if he hadn't been introduced by an acquaintance. The flaw of the job was that there were more conditions aside from money, but Yeongchan believed that Hyeonu's video would suffice.

"It is worth it."


***


Ellis—among the Arena video makers, he was known as a ghost. He selected the appropriate BGM and edited it frame-by-frame. Sometimes, he stole their vision like a ghost by using a change in color. Ellis hadn't originally planned to be an Arena movie maker. His dream was to be the director of a big blockbuster or a graphic designer who implemented virtual reality games.

In other words, he wanted to be great. Yet reality was grim, and the path he found was Arena. From the moment he stepped into this world, he ran on the road to success. It was to the point where he felt that this had always been his vocation. One day, he had been editing Arena videos like a squirrel when he had a thought. 'This is the life I dreamed of.'

From then on, Ellis' heart removed everything else, and he only touched videos.

"This is crap. This as well. Can PK be done like this? It is clearly just hitting for money."

Ellis sorted out his mail which as usual was piled up today. He couldn't watch all the footage in detail, so he only watched the opening minute.

"Umm... What is this video?"

His hands stopped pressing the delete button after a while. He saw a video he liked. The combat style of the man in the video was terribly tidy. It was a fighting style Ellis had never seen before. No, he had seen it once in the past. That's right, it was in meleegod's videos.

"Yeongchan? Michael introduced him the other day..."

'Yet this isn't him?'

Ellis' thoughts didn't last long. He was immersed in Hyeonu's video. It was a video with no editing, but it was very immersive. Ellis' motivation sparked after a long time.

"From today on, I will be this person's fan."

'I'll do it for him unquestionably!'

The video of this person catching the PK group in reverse was enough. The man's combat style in the video was full of star power. It only needed the addition of his editing.

'This is a jackpot.'

Ellis immediately started the editing. He simply couldn't stand it. It was the first time there was a video that evoked his desire for editing.

"Put this in the background here and zoom in like this! Good! Perfect!"

Ellis' hands became busy. Then Hyeonu's video started changing rapidly. This was the moment when Ellis became Hyeonu's exclusive video editor.

***


'What should I do...'

Hyeonu was sitting in a corner of the village. He was feeling troubled. The random rare skill book was something he was reluctant to give up even though it might be useless. He didn't think he would get a good skill if he used it, but he was hesitant to sell it. The price was expensive, but if a useful skill for Hyeonu came out, then it would be very valuable for the future.

At this time, Taeng approached the struggling Hyeonu.

"Master dude. What are you thinking about?" Taeng asked with his distinctive ears wriggling.

Hyeonu confided his concerns to Taeng as he wanted to ask someone for advice. "I have a piece of land. However, it is a land that isn't cleared. In other words, I don't know what the results will be if I plant anything in it."

"So?"

"I'm wondering if I should sell this land or clear it to build a farm."

The moment Hyeonu's story was over, Taeng said, "What will you do if you sell the land?"

Hyeonu paused for a moment before replying, "Huh? I will do farming?"

"Then why sell? Do you have no money?"

"!!!"

'Why do I want to sell this when they already gave me money?'

Hyeonu opened the skill book as soon as he realized this. He used the skill book.

The result of the gamble was a jackpot. This was truly amazing. It had an effect that would only be seen in high-level unique items. 10% defense penetration literally meant ignoring 10% of their armor and defensive skills. It was difficult to show the efficiency at Hyeonu's level because the player's attack power was relatively high while the monsters didn't have much defense.

However, the efficiency was different as the level progressed. Thus, it was a big hit. After all, Hyeonu's goal wasn't to be a mediocre player.

Hyeonu got rid of all the system messages and picked up Taeng. Then he started spinning around. It was an expression of Hyeonu's joy while it was close to torture for Taeng.

"Damn Master dude!! Put me down!!!"

"Thank you! Thank you!!"

A video was uploaded onto Arena World the moment Hyeonu hit the jackpot with the random skill book.

People's reactions were intense. In particular, those who suffered from vicious PK criminals at a low level were cheerful.

-Milk Drinking Yuljae: I was also hit by those guys before. It is exhilarating.

-Power Muscle King: If I meet them, I'll slice at them first.

-High-quality Watch: They were hit in the big picture. 

-Unexpected Death when Touched: By the way, why go to the dark elf boss they can't even catch?

-Sleeping Daoist: The 1.5L shot of cider feels refreshing. Recommended! 

-Thailand Opha: Is this an Ellis movie? No wonder why the quality is different.

"Good, good."

There were 150,000 views. Yeongchan was pleased with the community's response. It seemed that uploading a few more videos would be sufficient publicity. He uploaded it to his channel, so he was sure the number of views would go up.

"It isn't a waste of money. I think they made it slightly cheap."

Yeongchan also liked the post-edited video. Above all, this was an amazing Ellis movie. Yet somehow, the price was very cheap. It was an unbelievable amount of money for the industry's top expert.

"Well, this means that he likes Hyeonu."

Yeongchan felt it might be okay to move to the next stage.

'Plan: Make Gang Hyeonu a star. Subtitle: Return of the gold spoon.'

It was starting now.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true like living out a dream.

For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare.

He's in a bit of a predicament. Cracks in our dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species of the planet a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons. Not long after, he discovers there's only one way out.

Kill or be killed.

This is a lit-RPG inspired by the Fallout series of games and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound.

From what Wang Ming and Zhai Yin could see, magic treasure scientific experts from all over the world were attending this video conference, some of whom were heavyweight figures. Wang Ming's gaze swept over them before his eyes turned slightly disappointed.
"Aren't they very amazing people? Why do you look a little unhappy?" said Zhai Yin.
"There are too few inventors; the ones I mentioned just now are the famous ones, while the rest are research cannon."
Zhai Yin: "Weapons?"
Wang Ming: "Mouth cannons[1]."
Zhai Yin: "…"
The "mouth cannon" was a mystical thing; it could trigger a war, but it could also bring peace. There were people in this world who could even freely use the art of the mouth cannon to wash someone clean or throw mud at them. The only limitation was that it took three times the effort to wash someone clean than to blacken their name… 
No wonder Old Qi hadn't wanted to attend this meeting; it looked like he already knew who would be attending.
Wang Ming's lips thinned.
A superior's order was the law! He had no reason to refuse Old Qi.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ming let out a sigh.
Actually, he didn't have to listen to them speak; he'd just treat it as an amusement.
In any case, they were just a bunch of armchair strategists.
Language barriers weren't a problem in this video conference, since any talk would be translated in real time by a built-in software.
In other words, when a person spoke in their mother tongue in the video, the software would translate his words into a language that everyone could understand.
After twenty minutes or so, the video conference began.
Experts from different countries appeared on the screen in very small windows that densely packed the online conference room. It was only when they were saying something that the smart video screen would pick it up and their window would be enlarged.
Wang Ming didn't rush to put forward his theory, but wanted to listen to what the foreign experts had to say.
At that moment, a window suddenly enlarged, and an uncle with a full beard in a white coat and a white canvas hat spoke.
The real-time interpretation software translated his words into a heavy "curry" accent. "Friends from all across the world, hello. I am the head of Magic Treasure Studies and lead professor of the Strategic Magic Treasure Research Society in Yinxiu nation. My name is Rossi Zeus Suess; you can call me Suess. Regarding the explosion of abnormal energy this time, my society has a new analytical report on it."
A lot of people in the video instantly quieted down. Some sat upright and still as they looked at this Professor Suess with serious expressions, while some bent their heads and seemed to be jotting down things in a notebook.
Wang Ming didn't know very much about this Professor Suess, so couldn't make much comment.
But someone who could become the head of Yinxiu's research institute should be really something.
"Our preliminary conclusion is that the abnormal energy fluctuations this time is likely largely connected to our Yinxiu's famous dish, curry."
Wang Ming and Zhai Yin took deep breaths at the same time. "…"
Sure enough, heads of institutes nowadays knew how to spout nonsense.
Professor Suess spoke very confidently. "Everyone should know how delicious our Indian curry is; our most famous signature curry rice paste is endorsed by international film celebrity Mr Wang Jingze[2]. Since the energy fluctuations this time have troubled everyone, our Yinxiu nation will take full responsibility. Our king has already decided to give every nation a twenty percent discount on curry orders! So…"
When he said that, Professor Suess's video feed was directly cut off.
Zhai Yin: "What happened?"
Wang Ming chuckled. "The super admin banned him."
Zhai Yin was taken aback. "There's even a super admin here…"
"He's with the United Nations. All international video conferences are regulated by super admins. Since Yinxiu nation's financial affairs this year aren't looking good, I guess this head had no choice and was forced to do some promotion through this video conference." Wang Ming smiled wickedly.
Although Professor Suess's video feed had been cut off by the super admin, he had already achieved his advertising purpose… 
A recording of the video conference would be backed up for the leaders of various nations, and there would inevitably be those who would want to buy curry when they saw the video.
For the sake of selling curry, Professor Suess was banned from speaking for seventy-two hours.
But not long before Professor Suess went offline, another window expanded to reveal a scientist in a white lab coat who was as robust as a bear. "Hello, everyone, I am Elizabeth Putin from Maoxiu."
This was a Maossian.
The people of Maoxiu were famous for fighting, and the nation was still a military power.
Wang Ming knew quite a bit about this group of people, and felt that some of them were pretty talented. That was because many of the latest weapons currently being developed by Huaxiu's research institute was in collaboration with researchers from Maoxiu nation.
"Everyone, based on our analysis, we suspect that the abnormal energy fluctuations this time was a devouring phenomenon."
As Wang Ming expected, this Mr Elizabeth from Maoxiu nation shared his view.
Wang Ming saw all the international experts raise their heads at this and send strings of bullet messages.
Zhai Yin was startled yet again. "You can even send bullet messages?"
"It's a video conference, after all. Too many questions are asked, so a bullet message function was embedded in international video conferencing. Similarly, the software will directly translate the words," said Wang Ming.
Zhai Yin: "…"
After that, a lot of bullet messages flew over this Maossian's head.
Many people were asking what the devouring phenomenon was.
Thus, this expert explained, "To put it simply, this sudden phenomenon was very likely part of an alien invasion, but for some reason, they suddenly decided to abandon it, which is why the abnormal energy we detected went back to normal.
"If they hadn't decided to give up, our Earth would have been completely in the grips of this energy in less than a day." This Maossian expert spoke very vividly; as he explained the situation, he also gestured with his hands. "So, to deal with any future invasion from an alien civilization, and in the event that they attempt to devour the earth, I propose that cultivators all over the world unite and immediately launch the Wandering Earth project!" 
The Wandering Earth project… 
Realization dawned on everyone and they were stunned by this grand plan.
"Are there any specifics for this operation?" someone raised a hand and asked.
The Maossian expert raised one finger and replied, "The first step! Build new toilets on one side of the Earth! And we have to build a lot of them! My initial plan is to build a toilet park with enough toilets for half the cultivators on the planet!"
Wang Ming was shaken.
Building toilets… What kind of operation was that… 
[1] Refers to "braggarts" in Chinese.

The next day...
Zhang Xiaohua arrived early at the company, finding that Yuan Datong and the others had already gathered together to do their work.
Because Zhang Xiaohua's description was concise and detailed, it wasn't difficult for everyone to create the setting for shooting the scenes he wanted. As for the follow up, that would be Zhang Xiaohua's job as the director.
Zhang Xiaohua felt a little nervous at this time.
After all, this would be his first time acting as a director. Although he was just shooting a music video, this would be their fans first impression of them and would help them decide if the incoming album was worth buying or not. After all, if the video quality was not good enough, the quality of the entire album would be up for question. It was the most critical stage. The video could either solidify their position in the industry or destroy it, leaving their image as a one-hit wonder.
Therefore, it was inevitable that he would be a bit apprehensive.
Just after eight o'clock, Zhou Yi sent over the camera crew and brought two professional photographers and four lighting technicians, along with all the necessary equipment.
Their equipment was very simple. It included only professional cameras and spotlights. They also had an on-site camera drone and a real-time monitor. He felt that these would be enough for the videos.
In addition, because the music video's storyline was entirely in the mind of Zhang Xiaohua, there would be no wasted time planning out scenes as long as no accident occurred. Zhang Xiaohua could basically finish the video in around two days. Considering the time post-production would take, he believed that before the end of the month, they could release the entire album along with their accompanying videoclips.
First, Zhang Xiaohua decided to shoot the video for 'Broken Hearted Woman'. In his memories, this song's video was very monotonous, requiring only two different sets of clothes: one for the indoors scene and another for the outdoor scene. As the video required only 15 frames per second, both scenes could be done in just a matter of moments, so recording them would not take much time.
Looking around the company's surroundings, Zhang Xiaohua discovered that some scenes could be directly shot here. Thus he promptly asked Wang Jingwen to change her clothes.
A while ago, Zhang Xiaohua had spent some time using the computer, and with the knowledge he learned during those late nights, he quickly described all the sub-camera angle shots to the crew including the time needed to be spent on each shot and the rough angles they must shoot from. It was comparable to professionals.
The two photographers were free to act independently, but they had been informed of the type of mood their photos needed to portray. The four lighting technicians set up their equipment in the proper location, connected it to the studio's power supply with the help of Xiaohai and others, and adjusted the light curtain to the best condition. Done with the preparations, they could only wait for Wang Jingwen to get in position.
Yuan Datong served as his assistant. Although this was a very humble job, Yuan Datong had volunteered to take this position, so the role of the assistant was decided.
In order to save time, Zhang Xiaohua used an arbitrary shooting method instead of following the conventional way. 
There were no fixed rules, and they could say whatever they liked or offer any suggestions. Anyway, with his precise notes and the fact that they would synthesize all the scenes for editing at a later period, they were not afraid of chaos.
The first scene was set on the stairs:
Wang Jingwen would slowly walked down the stairs and after reaching the middle, she would sit down on the steps. Shaking her hair, she would look into the space as if daydreaming with eyes looking full of inexplicable expectations. Yet, she would also carry a bit of ambiguity, sadly stroking her hair as though feeling defeated.
When everyone was ready, Zhang Xiaohua sat in front of the monitor and officially assumed the director's job. Not to mention how excited he was, looking closely, one would realise that he was slightly trembling.
After a moment, Zhang Xiaohua slowly lifted one hand and immediately swung it as he shouted, "Action!"
Suddenly, all the machines were up and running through the monitor. Soon afterwards, Wang Jingwen's shadow appeared on the screen.
Wang Jingwen used to be a professional singer, and during that period of time, she made several videos, so her performance was very good. She didn't show any nervousness and naturally stepped down the stairs, but she was a bit too fast.
"Cut!"
Zhang Xiaohua took the lead and decided to terminate the shooting. He immediately strode to Wang Jingwen and reprimanded, "Big Sister, we are filming a music video, not a catwalk. Can you not do this? Can you temporarily think of yourself as an individual, not as a god? In addition, the theme of this song is a heartbroken woman. Can you show a little bit of sadness? Don't look like you're at the top of the world... And your eyes, what I need is yearning and confusion, not pride. Do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaohua was so rude that Wang Jingwen immediately blushed all the way down to her neck, ashamed, she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
However, in Zhang Xiaohua's opinion, if the actor was not in place, then the director could hardly be resigned.
In other words, this showed that his work had not been properly done, resulting in Wang Jingwen's failure to comprehend his own thoughts.
In order to make Wang Jingwen enter the correct mood as soon as possible and to shoot his ideal music video, Zhang Xiaohua thought hard. He suddenly remembered the video where he first saw Wang Jingwen and found his inspiration. It was this video that made Zhang Xiaohua have a keen interest on Wang Jingwen: "Remember the time when you filmed 'Last Supper'."
Wang Jingwen nodded, listening to Zhang Xiaohua say: "Follow the mood from that time. Remember to not exaggerate too much, and don't be too pessimistic. Just think that you have just lost the love of your life, but you're still trying to maintain your hope in romance."
Wang Jingwen nodded again. After being scolded by Zhang Xiaohua, her ability to comprehend was significantly enhanced.
With Zhang Xiaohua's orders, the shooting was gradually getting on the right track.
This time, Wang Jingwen completely followed Zhang Xiaohua's request. Regardless of her demeanour or movement, Zhang Xiaohua found that they were flawless. She had absolutely achieved his desired results.
Zhang Xiaohua was satisfied with the shooting, and in a very excited mood, he rushed to the car. "Emma, help Wang Jingwen change her clothes, bring the cosmetics on the way. Everyone else, put the equipment on the car, we need to swap venue. Remember, two weeks is all we have left. We have to complete all the works on time. Go, go, go!"
Suddenly, the whole company got really busy as everyone responded with enthusiasm. The scene was like a bustling market that even Zhou Yi and his staff were deeply affected. It seemed that Zhang Xiaohua was being treated as the sole leader. And if the leader had orders, how could they not obey?
In this way, under the leadership of Zhang Xiaohua, everyone was very positive and cooperative. They worked overtime every day for almost 24 hours. They did two days of work in a day. Although a bit tired, they were ecstatic, because everyone believed that if they worked hard, they would be equally rewarded.
Next, under the full authority of Zhang Xiaohua, the shooting progress was surprisingly smooth beyond everyone's imagination.
Just two weeks later, the music videos of the six songs were filmed. The recording speed of these videos was so fast that it definitely broke the record speed of the category.
Zhang Xiaohua defined the title of the album as 'Hearts Emotions', with a close-up photo of Wang Jingwen as the cover in a grey rainy weather. It matched with the songs on the album, and eventually got the unanimous approval of all members of the company. The editing of the videos was handed over to Sparrow Company to complete.
They did not dare to idle. Because according to Zhang Xiaohua's request, Sparrow Company not only had to be responsible for post-production, but they also had to produce 300,000 records within half a month. This workload was not small, so how would they dare dally around and act slowly?
After the work was handed over to Sparrow Company, Yuan Datong finally let out a sigh of relief. He was tired, both physically and mentally.
In these two weeks, Zhang Xiaohua had really learned a lot of things, and he also got a certain understanding of multimedia shooting, which fully laid a solid foundation for the future 'films and television programs'.
Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, Zhang Xiaohua wrote the Mandarin version of the 'Broken Hearted Women' overnight and told Yuan Datong to help Wang Jingwen perform the recording work for inclusion in her album.
In this way, Wang Jingwen's first album would contain seven songs. At the end of the songs, he would use the six music videos to make a short movie. Letting fans know about Wang Jingwen's past situation and her struggles. This would encourage fans who were willing to spend money to buy the genuine records.


Zhang Xiaohua was a washed-up artist who tragically passed away in a car accident after heroically saving a child’s life. After his death, Zhang Xiaohua’s soul was transmigrated into a parallel universe where the entertainment industry has become sluggish. 

With a group of small musicians, memories and just his wits about him, he is forced to create something for himself in his new environment, working hard to sustain himself and his mother, while also trying to regain control of his father's company.

Follow his journey as he attempts to become a world-class entertainment mogul and conquer the entertainment world by storm.

Why not try my new books: Angel of Death, King of Sports and King of Film

After settling the matters regarding the Outstanding Employee Selection, Pei Qian returned to his rented apartment. He took out the express delivery package that had just arrived. 
Pei Qian bought two phones this time around. 
The first phone was Shenhua's latest flagship phone model—Shenhua N7. It was priced at 4199 yuan and was mainly targeted at office workers. The other phone was the latest flagship phone model of an overseas company called MSC—the B90 model. It was priced around 4600 yuan. 
Many industries in that universe were a little different from those in Pei Qian's memory. In the current year, domestic phone companies should only be at their developing stages. They found it hard to fight against overseas phone companies. However, in that universe, Shenhua's mobile phones were developing very quickly. 
Although the overall strength of their flagship phone model could not be compared with Pineapple phones, the value of their phones could be reasonably priced at the 4000 range. What they achieved was three or four years ahead of the progress of the domestic phone companies in Pei Qian's memory. 
Of course, considering the development stages of cell phone and mobile games in that universe, Shenhua's achievements did not give Pei Qian too much of a shock. 
Anyways, those were just a side note. 
The main thing was that the Shenhua N7 was about to become the second victim today. 
He should leave the MSC cell phone for the next episode. 
Similar to the previous episode, Pei Qian shot the video with his cell phone and ran through the procedures. He dipped it into the water, threw it from midair, smashed it apart, and rewound the clips. Anyways, he did whatever he could to give the phone a hard time. 
After completing the standard procedures, he did some simple editing and rendering to the clips and uploaded the final video. 
"Good. I'm done!" 
Pei Qian stretched his body. Working was really tiring. 
To his surprise, the Shenhua N7 model had pretty good drop protection. Its rear cover was even sturdier than the Pineapple phones. Pei Qian had some difficulty trying to pry the rear cover of the phone open, and he spent quite some effort in doing so. However, as the saying went, blunt force led to miracles. There was not a single phone in the world that Pei Qian could not pry open. 
After completing all of that, Pei Qian felt that the duration was shorter than he had expected. He still had some time to do other things. 
"Umm… that's great, why don't we finish the MSC flagship cell phone model today as well? 
"After that, we can stop working on cell phones temporarily. We can explore other digital products, such as headphones, cameras, and laptops. Those were all worth considering."
Pei Qian yawned and opened a can of cola to wake himself up. He continued working on the third episode of Hardcore Reviews. 
He most certainly could not upload two episodes at the same time. Pei Qian wanted to wait for the responses of this video that he had just uploaded. If the responses were good, he could upload the MSC episode either tomorrow or two days later. 
… 
… 
After 'Hardcore Reviews Episode 2: Shenhua N7' had been uploaded onto Aili Island, viewers that had previously subscribed to this account quickly received a notification. 
Even if the 'Hardcore Reviews' account did not have many fans, many viewers that saw the first episode had subscribed to this account. Therefore, when the second video was uploaded, there were quickly many voices in the comments section. 
"Holy sh*t. Episode 2 was uploaded so quickly!" 
"Previously, it was Pineapple 4, now Shenhua N7? The total number of views for these two videos had not even reached 5000, and yet the production cost of both videos reached 10,000?!" 
"Pineapple 4 was almost 5000 yuan while Shenhua N7 was 4199. The cost was around 9000 in total! I can only say that we cannot understand the life of a baller!" 
"Could these videos be reposted?" 
"They are not reposted. You can't find the 'Hardcore Reviews' account at any other platforms. Aili Island seems to be the first platform that these videos had been uploaded onto." 
"That's a real baller!" 
"There's no need to say anything. Like. Tip. Share. I need to support this video no matter what simply because of its production cost!" 
Many viewers shared the video. 
Because of the user volume from the first video, there were more views for this episode. 
Moreover, there was no news conference for new products during this period. Therefore, the electronics area in the platform was rather inactive. There was not much new content that was uploaded. 
Since the video was uploaded at such timing, it naturally had more views. 
Furthermore, the keywords of the video's caption included words such as hardcore, reviews, and Shenhua N7. If people searched for similar words, this video would appear in the search results. 
… 
At night… 
Shenzhen… 
Hu Xiao had just finished a 'battle' with an enthusiastic netizen in the forum. He was still trying to calm himself down. 
As the creator of Shaohu Reviews, Hu Xiao had been living a rather lavish life due to the earnings from his videos. Viewers nowadays could be easily fooled, and it was easy earning the money of his fans. Many overseas companies were also very generous with the money they offered him. 
As a professional hater of Shenhua, Hu Xiao took the responsibility of criticizing Shenhua. However, Shenhua's cell phones were becoming increasingly popular. That made him very angry. 
He had just had a 'battle' with an enthusiastic netizen in the forum and had ended the conversation by demeaning each other's relatives. 
Hu Xiao opened the page leading to the electronics area of Aili Island. He originally wanted to just scroll through the videos and check if there were any new videos. 
"Huh? 'Hardcore Reviews Episode 2: Shenhua N7'? I have never heard of this review organization. Is this new?" 
Brimming with curiosity, Hu Xiao clicked on the video. 
The video was not very long and was only about ten minutes. Although most of the content was recorded in a single shot, he could tell that there was some evidence of simple editing in some parts of the video. 
However, the content caused Hu Xiao to almost laugh out loud. 
How the f*ck was that a review? That's just aggressive testing! 
He dipped it into the water, threw it onto the ground, and chopped it with a kitchen knife… 
The dismantling part at the end was even more hilarious. He used a flat head screwdriver and pried the rear cover of the phone along its gaps. The way he dismantled the components of the phone proved the 'blunt force leads to miracles' theory. He did not care if the cables at the back were connected and was also unconcerned if there were any dispensing. He simply gouged the components out of the cell phone. 
One could clearly see the veins on his hands. That showed how much force he was using. 
When there was nothing more to dismantle, the phone was utterly ruined. It was similar to the scene of a car accident. 
The most absurd part was that the video creator said that he would revive the phone, and yet the only thing that he did was to rewind the clips of him dismantling the phone aggressively. 
"Good job! It feels nice watching someone smashing a Shenhua cell phone. I need to share this video! I want to smash it too. It's a pity I do not have the money for it." 
After arguing with the netizen who supported Shenhua phones, Hu Xiao was still a little enraged. Seeing a video that smashed and cracked a Shenhua cell phone made his mood turn for the better. 
No need to say anything. Share! 
Hu Xiao mainly used Weibo for his Shaohu Reviews. However, his account at Aili Island had three to four hundred thousand subscribers. 
Although he did not have many subscribers, they were all very active. Moreover, Hu Xiao also had the contacts of professional fake reviewer teams. Therefore, he had a strong influence on the internet. 
After sharing the video, he added a caption: 'A Baller Smashed the Shenhua N7 in Anger. The Reason was…' 
After writing those words, Hu Xiao almost laughed at what he wrote. 
Those who did not know what happened might think that the baller smashed the Shenhua N7 phone because he was unhappy and angry about its quality. 
It was a little unethical of him to do so, and yet Hu Xiao did not go overboard. His actions could only be considered ordinary title sensationalism. It was not enough to spur public hate and cause him to be scolded by all netizens. 
If there were people who really came to him looking for trouble, he could resolve it by teasing them: If you treated that seriously, that meant that you have a glass heart and you wanted to raise ordinary issues at the level of big issues about nation, society, morals or politics. 
That was the highest realm of creating disgust for others. Hu Xiao was extremely familiar with that. 
After sharing the video, Hu Xiao had a question. 
What kind of team was behind Hardcore Reviews? Reviewers like Hu Xiao would normally make videos to earn money and get a free phone. 
However, it was evident that Hardcore Reviews did not have any sponsored partnerships. 
If Shenhua really wanted this review organization to promote their cell phones, they would definitely have some requests regarding the actual content of the video. How could they allow the video creator to demean their cell phone? 
Moreover, everyone within the industry knew that Shenhua did not like to look for review organizations. Hu Xiao did not receive sponsored partnerships with Shenhua. Therefore, his love for Shenhua products gradually turned into hate, and he became a professional Shenhua hater. 
Then… could it be that the Hardcore Reviews spent its own money to seek attention? 
Before the testing, the display was on. The video creator had also toggled the functions of the phone after soaking it in water. It was obvious that he was using a real phone instead of a duplicate. 
Ruin a real cell phone in each episode of the show? 
Hu Xiao did not really understand the life of the ballers… 
Hu Xiao did not take the matter to heart. Contented, he hummed a song and went to take a bath.

This book is highly popular in China and has set off a new trend. Webnovel has very high expectations for this book and has gotten the author to refine the first chapter as an exclusive for global readers. We hope everyone will enjoy reading it.

Michael was gathered around his employees at the Eminence Gaming office. They were going to release the game. It was a monumental moment for the company since they were putting their first product on the market. The whole team was gathered around; honestly, Michael did not expect the game to be an instant hit upon release. He knew it would take some time; however, he did pay for some marketing over the weekend so he did expect favorable numbers from the first day. 

The game was on both app stores for nearly an hour now and the downloads were increasing at a steady rate. Michael heard an alert from his mission screen. 

[Mission 4: First Impression

Mission Objective: You have released the first product from your business empire. The product will be a milestone and will have a significant impact on both the public's and the employee's impression of your company. If your first game is a failure; you might even lose some employees. The game must achieve a high ranking in the app store within one week. 

Rewards: Depends on the rank in the app store by the end of the week. overall rank will be average of ranks in both app stores. ]

Michael was happy to get the mission. He already expected the game to break into top ranking anyways. However, he did not expect the game's performance to affect his employees. In hindsight it made sense, the game was designed by a 'mysterious' third party so the employees did not have full confidence in the game yet. Even with all the testing, once the game is released it would truly be in the spotlight and all the flaws will be revealed. 

The one-week deadline was problematic. He did not know of too many games that achieved top rank in the first week. However, he was confident in the game. The graphics were too extraordinary to not gather attention. 

The employees eventually dispersed and went back to work. The game was released and they just needed to wait for the results. The download chart was maintaining an upward trend, therefore so far everyone was optimistic. 

" So your game is released. What is your next step?" Jennifer approached Michael. She knew he was working on the game for the past few months. However, he was done with it now and she was wondering what his next project would be.

" Well, honestly that depends on the game's debut. If the game is well received then I will have to plan future updates. On the contrary, if the game flops then I will have to make another one." Michael explained. He had some ideas for future updates. He intended to keep up the game for a couple of years before shutting it down. 

Most mobile games have shorter lifespans than console games. It is too difficult to update old games and keep the graphics quality up to current games. It would just be better to design a brand new game or release a second version. Even smartphones change significantly within a couple of years. Developers needed to take advantage of hardware innovations and design superior software. 

Jennifer frowned at Michael's response; He seemed to forget about the parent company. "What about your traders? Don't you need to spend more time training them?" she thought Michael was not taking the training seriously. 

" Well, I have provided the resources, it is up to the interns to take advantage of it and learn. Trading is something that requires initiative; I cannot force anyone to be a trader. I do intend to spend some more time now that I am done with the game. However, it will take time for them to develop the skills to be professional traders." Michael explained. After all, all the interns had zero experience trading. They have only been studying for a week. So Michael did not expect much from them. 

Jennifer did not say anything else; After all, Michael was the expert. She understood that Michael was an introvert, therefore, had a hands-off approach to training.  She went back to her office to get some paperwork done. 

Michael decided to go home and get some homework done. His final exams were coming up and Michael's first semester of college would soon be over. He did not really care much for college now; however since he did not have to spend too much time studying he decided to stick with it and get a degree.

********
William Taylor was having a depressing day. He was a successful YouTuber who had millions of fans. The problem was that he was tired of the mainstream games. He wanted to try something new; however, he was cautious about taking a risk and losing his fanbase. 

" Ring Ring"

William turned to his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was from the marketing agency he was trying to work with. The agency paid popular YouTubers to stream new games and advertise the game. He was excited at the chance to get paid to try a new game. 

He answered the phone; The conversation was short. The agent introduced the game and the developer. He agreed on a flexible pay for a let's play series based on the views. William hung up and immediately went to the app store to download the game.

He was about to get some snacks when he noticed that it was downloading really fast. "Whoa did my neighbor upgrade his internet?" William threw out that possibility. His neighbor was a cheapskate. He checked the game size and was surprised by its small size. The modern games easily went over one GB in size. He was skeptical about such a small game. After all, size matters.

William set up the recording software and the microphone. He started the game and was astonished by the loading speed. 

William was taken to the character creation screen. He explored the options and set up a goofy character.

" The character creation reminds me of Skyrim. I cannot believe a Mobile game has such complicated characters!" William commented. 

He was taken to what looked like the new player area. He completed a quick tutorial. After the tutorial, William felt like his head was stuffed. The game was too detailed for a mobile game. He felt like the game could keep up with the current pc games. 

The main objective of the game was to produce drugs and sell them. All players were given a small plot of land at the beginning. There were tons of different drugs to create. The easiest and quickest choice was marijuana. It had the lowest start-up costs and skill requirements; however, it usually had the lowest profits. Players can choose to specialize in different drugs and different production aspects. 

In order to get more land, players had to band together and form cartels to bid and fight for land. William chose to first join an NPC cartel and do some missions to earn some cash. 

" Wow, the graphics are so amazing. This game leaves everyone else in the dust?" William was so caught up in the game that he was forgetting to do commentary. That spoke volumes about the game's quality, as a professional presenter, what sort of game could draw his attention so much that he forgets to do his job? 

William enjoyed the missions from the NPC cartels. The mission revolved around protecting the drugs and raiding rival cartels. He loved the combat and was enthralled by the plot for the NPC cartels. Each cartel had an appealing backstory which encouraged players to become attached to them.

William heard an alarm. The recording software had sent an alert because he had been recording for three hours straight. He did not even notice the time flying. He stopped and started editing the footage. He wanted to share the game with all the fans. 

As a pro, he knew how to judge games. William knew that this game would break all records. He quickly let all his friends know. He wanted to form a cartel as soon as possible. This game was going to change the whole industry and he wanted to be at the front to get some benefits.

Michael was just an ordinary boy living in modern-day America. He grew up in an orphanage with a bleak future. One day he acquired a mysterious package only to inherit a system. Join Michael as he changes his fate and conquers his destiny; armed with a mysterious system that tries to convince him to take over the world.

This is my first novel so I would appreciate any constructive criticism and support.


This novel will also be posted on RoyalRoad.

The moment Hyrkan grabbed his spoils, he headed straight to Figur's Castle. Holding this much all alone was equivalent to saying 'please come kill me.' Although he took some effort in arriving at Mt. Bima, it was better to lose a few hours than to lose everything.
After returning to Figur's Castle, Hyrkan separated his loot into those he needed and those he didn't.
First, he removed the Black Goblin's Eyeball from the list. He was planning on using it to craft an item. Other than that, he sold everything in a hurry. Though he ended up selling them cheaper than the market price, he was able to acquire some gold immediately. The gold he obtained was a bit less than 150,000 won, a sizable profit.
But an unexpected fortune struck when he was trading his 10 watches away.
'My god.'
Looking at the 10 items on his item list, Hyrkan's eyes became wide and open.
[Black Goblin Leather Pants]
*Main Property
– Rare-rank
– Intelligence +5
– Magic Power +5
– Required Level: 15
*Additional Property
– All stats +2 for every additional 'Black Goblin' item.
*Miscellaneous
– Leather pants made out of Black Goblin skin. Although it isn't entirely comfortable, it allows the user to gain the power of Black Goblin.
[Deadwood Essence Sword]
*Main Property
– Rare-rank
– Magic Power +10
– Required Level: 15
*Miscellaneous
– It is a sword imbued with the rare essence of deadwood monsters. The sword itself is no different than an ordinary sword, but the deadwood essence empowers the user's magic power.
'2 rare items?'
Hyrkan was ready to dance with open arms if he got any crafted items. He was fully expecting to get Subjugation Association's default items. Having received 2 rare items, he was beyond happy.
Furthermore, they were items that raised magic power.
'But why use deadwood essence to make a sword?'
It was a mistake to use deadwood essence to craft a sword. Deadwood essence was a material that raised magic power by a large amount. As such, it was used to make magicians' weapons such as wands or staffs. It was likely that the crafter blanked out in the middle of cubing. Although it was rare in rank, it would be hard to treat it as a real, rare item.
But with such weapon ending up in the hands of an all-strength necromancer, the only one who could possibly utilize it, it was indeed a twist of fate. It was as if King Arthur pulled the Excalibur.
'If I craft a robe or shoes with the Black Goblin's Eyeball I got, then…'
Furthermore, if Hyrkan crafted a new armor item using the Black Goblin's Eyeball, he could get at least 20 points of magic power from the Black Goblin set effect. 20 points of magic power would multiply Hyrkan's magic power by quite a bit even when he reached level 15.
Other than these two items, there were 5 items that weren't from Subjugation Association's default item. Over half of level 10 players used default items, not to mention a item from their entire item slot was chosen at random. With a luck like this, one should really buy a lottery ticket.
'The only downside is that I can't equip them now.'
Unfortunately, these precious items had a level 15 restriction, thus Hyrkan could not equip them at the moment.
'Level 15.'
Hyrkan quickly made a rough calculation.
'Rising Star title can be obtained upon completing the quest before level 15.'
It was level 15.
Once he hit level 15 and equipped these items, he would clear the quest at Mt. Bima. Even a complete beginner would be able to come to this conclusion. Hyrkan's job was simple.
'Time to break some records.'
Hunting.
That's all he had to do.
★★★
Hyrkan's expression turned somber as he stared at the website shown on his tablet PC.
'300,000 won for video editing… it's cheap considering Romany's skills, but…'
After logging off, An Jaehyun obtained the video file he filmed. At the same time, he searched for a professional to edit his video. It didn't take long. He knew who he was searching for.
Romany Films.
In the past, An Jaehyun had a deep connection with them. With most of early Hahoe Mask Guild's videos being made by Romany Films, not much explanation was needed.
Their distance grew after Hahoe Mask Guild became more popular and received the sponsorship of major video editing teams, but Hyrkan always left his personal videos for Romany Films to edit.
'Now that I think about it, I've only really met and talked with Romany once. He was really quite good.'
He was the best.
Romany Film's owner, Romany, was a die-hard fan of Hero Slaughterer Hyrkan, and he could capture Hyrkan's charm better than anyone else. He would even stop his other work to do Hyrkan's videos first. Hyrkan fully planned on continuing their good, past relationship.
The problem was money.
Even with the video already being there, it still took great time and effort to edit it. A professional's time and effort meant money.
For Romany, the price was 300,000 won.
It wasn't expensive. Big shots in the field easily receive over a million won per video. Even in Romany's case, his price went over 1 million won once he got famous through the Hahoe Mask Guild. For the Top 30 Guilds, the cost of editing videos for their channels was about 30% of their operating expenses.
Because of this, An Jaehyun couldn't be stingy with money. In fact, it was a chance to use a skilled professional he approved of at a cheap cost.
Above all, this video would serve as An Jaehyun's introduction video. In a world where plastic surgery costs several million won, it would be foolish to be too stingy to spend 300,000 won on a video that would serve as his face.
'Looks like my mouth's going to be dry for a while.'
An Jaehyun smiled bitterly.
Growl!
As if it sensed danger, his stomach let out a scream.
★★★
Romany. His dream was to become a movie director representing Hollywood. However, there were hundreds of thousands of others who shared his dream in the U.S., and Romany could do little to distinguish himself in the competition. He sold his services for a cheap price in the name of establishing personal connection and gaining experience.
With his dream, he had spent his whole life hungry. The turning point of Romany's life was the introduction of V-Gear.
The appearance of VR world was revolutionary for the movie industry as well. Those quick on their feet entered the stage to obtain the skill and experience needed to survive in the VR era. It was the same for Romany. During this process of producing VR game videos, he was able to establish a name for himself with the few that reached views in the millions. He was given the chance to live doing what he loves without having to rely on part-time jobs at the same time.
His days were joyful but boring at the same time. He had fun producing videos he loved, but it was torture to produce amazing videos from videos that showed a worthless level of skill and content. Thus, whenever he received a request, he prayed.
"Please, at the very least, let it be decent."
He couldn't pick his clients. He could only pray for a good client.
Currently, Romany was looking into a new request he received with an apathetic face.
"Korea, introduction video, PK…"
Nothing particularly stood out as enticing in the brief summary he read. In fact, the level 11 status of the client caused his face to turn dark. When players around level 10 requested for a video, they mostly had the same line of thinking. It was for rich players to brag on social media. The videos they sent were truly worthless.
Romany had the feeling this would be another one of those videos, and his intuitions were always spot on.
But for the first time, his intuition failed him.
"….wow."
A switch turned on inside him when he watched the video.
He had watched a countless number of PK videos, and most of them were flashy. It really could be nothing but flashy. The clash of powerful skills and magic were like the climax scenes of movies.
But the PK video he received was not flashy. There was more or less no skills or magic used. It was just a strangely masked player fighting 3 other players. The setting was simple. There was not a hint of flashiness in the entire video.
However, there was ruthlessness, a story, and scheming. It was as if top class actors were acting out a script.
And the best part…
– I…
Was the masked player making his opponents lower their guard by talking. Unlike in a battle of strength versus strength, the masked player's fight had tension that made its viewers swallow their saliva.
Romany was charmed.
'This probably won't get many views.'
Honestly, Romany found it hard for this video to go viral. It was too cruel. Although Warlord was an adult-rated game, if he made the masked player's ruthlessness stand out, the video would be locked for adult only.
But that part wasn't for Romany to worry about. Since he got the money, he just had to work for it.
What was important…
"But at least it'll be fun."
Was that he finally found a work worthy of his full attention after so long.
★★★
Once Warlord dominated the VR game market, the vast money and businesses surrounding VR games all traveled to Warlord.
As a result, everything and anything Warlord-related began receiving value above its original value. Among these, what rose the most was human capital. Just by being good at Warlord, one could receive the same fame and attention a sports star would. All skilled players began competing with each other for market value, and a few billionaires even purchased these players like some did with soccer teams in the past.
An enormous amount of money began going back and forth, and players began to make videos dreaming of making a fortune. Of course, few geese laid golden eggs. Of 1000 players, 999 of them would be chickens incapable of laying any eggs. Only one would have a small chance of laying a golden egg.
Naturally, luck was needed just as much as skill. This lady luck only visited only those who could recognize her. The owner of the Stormhunter Guild, one of Warlord's Top 30 Guilds, and one of the skilled players representing Warlord as a whole – Choi Sulyeon. To receive her attention required a thousand of such luck.
But now a winner appeared.
'Not bad.'
Choi Sulyeon was one of Warlord's greatest players. Naturally, her standards were extremely high. Even well respected players were only mediocre in her eyes.
But now, a man in a video she was watching grabbed her attention. It was an extraordinary luck. In the first place, she didn't usually look up videos herself. She had only come across this video by coincidence.
'He should be around level 10, but his battle experience is above a veteran player's. I doubt he's a killer in real life… he must have come from another game.'
He didn't show a particularly spectacular battle. Rather than spectacular, the man's fighting style was better described as peculiar and full of the his own color.
In fact, Choi Sulyeon was interested in the man for a reason she couldn't quite put to words.
Sixth sense.
Choi Sulyeon's sixth sense whispered to her.
'I want him.'
She couldn't explain why, but she wanted him in her grasp.
Of course, at this moment, Choi Sulyeon engraved the name of this video's lead in her mind.
'Hahoe Mask Hyrkan.'

Year 2035. The Virtual reality game, Warlord, changed the world. An Jaehyun was one of the many who wished to change his life through the game. After dedicating his life to the game, he was met with a betrayal. A betrayal by his comrades. As a result, he lost everything. But a chance was given to him. A chance to redo everything again! "I won't play with others again. Whatever the outcome, I'll show that I can do it alone." Others rolled a dice to split the spoils of victory. An Jaehyun ate it all by himself. It was the start of An Jaehyun's solo game life.
