Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 5

'Hmm, this paper was in my hand when I came to this body. What was this guy reading before he died?' Pulling the paper closer, he finally git a good look at the contents.
"Ah, it's a script. Let's see how it compare to the ones I wrote back then. Hope we don't lose out in this aspect." Feeling interested.
He slowly read the script in his hands. The script Kim Joon-won had wasn't the complete drama script, rather it was only his part of the drama. As he read, the anticipation and smile on his face faded away as a small frown formed on his face.
"No wonder that guy died due to anger. This is really sh*t even the role this guy got is literally only one whole page, not even a whole paper worth of dialogues. Such a small role." He couldn't help but lean back on the couch as he threw the paper to the side and closed his eyes.
He remembered the reason the owner of the body died. It was this script. The role was so small that he didn't have dialogues. He didn't get to know what the entire script was about but had some guess. Based on what his role was, it was situated in a school and was also a romance orientated drama.
"I felt happy about acting once again and this is what I get after coming here." He opened his eyes and sighed.
"Well now that most of the things here are done. Let's explore the outside world and see how advanced everything here is then." He sprung up from the couch as his eyes were filled with anticipation. He wanted to know more about this world and going out was the best way he could do that.

He grabbed the keys to the main door and made his way out. But as he did, he noticed a mask hanging on a hook beside the door. Grabbing it, he wore it and made his way out, locking the door.
There were only 5 similar houses for every floor in the three floors apartment. His house was on the second floor, so Kim Joon-won made his way down the hallway and then the stairs. Reaching the ground floor he walked out and saw the bustling streets.
The streets, people and the vehicles were a lot to take in for him and only snapped out of it after a whole minute. He looked to his left and right before stretching out his finger, he felt the wind blow to the right and decided to go to the right.
As he walked down the street, he saw different kinds of shops, Graffiti painted on walls, people riding on the skateboard and many more. He was so marvelled by everything around him that he didn't want to close his eyes, scared that he might miss something.
If anyone from his old world would see their calm, collected and old king like this they would stab themselves in the heart rather than believe their eyes.
As Kim Joon-won slowly walked through the streets, he suddenly stopped. His eyes were on a billboard which was flashing very brightly with a picture of a couple on it and a title next to it. It was a movie advertisement.
"So, that's a new movie. It seems to have released a few days ago. Let's see what these movies are. If I can remember a movie theatre should be around that corner." He was excited to see something new. He only knew dramas but as he saw that billboard he remembered the experience of seeing movies of the original Kim Joon-won and wanted to try out.

Slowly walking towards the theatre as he remembered, he finally reached it. Standing before the large theatre he felt excitement. This was going to be his first exposure to this world's mainline drama or rather movies as they called them.
He noticed that the theatre was about to play it's noon show of the movie billboard he saw on his way and walked towards the counter.
"One ticket for 'My love', please." With a polite smile to the lady behind the counter, while taking out his purse. Paying the money he got the ticket and made his way inside with excitement.
Going to the respective screen he already noticed that the movie had started and so he quietly made his way to his seat. As he sat he quickly noticed something very strange. Everyone around him or probably everyone in the entire theatre were couples.
But that thought only lasted a minute as his eyes were glued to the screen. He didn't turn his head even for a single second as he continued to watch the movie in isolation. He didn't hear the constant murmuring from the couple's all around him and was fixed to the screen.
The lights got back on after two complete hours. All the couple's and other people around him slowly got up one by one, exiting the screen but he remained there motionless. His eyes were still on the large blank screen in front.
He snapped out when a worker gently shook him, telling him that the movie was already done and it was time for him to go out. Slowly nodding he quietly exited the theatre and stood in the busy streets once again.
Stretching his stiff neck he sat on the nearby bench right in front of the theatre before sliding his eyes, cutting off all the noises from the busy streets, immersed in his own thoughts.
"Movies are really awesome." He murmured with a slight smile, looking at the floating clouds.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
