Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 46

Leaving Jung-hwa who was in her own world after getting a boost of confidence from the deal offered to her, Do Hwan looked at Joon-won who, in contrast to that, had the same emotionless face. It would fill normal students with anticipation and hope that they would get a similar deal, but he didn't have any of that.
Hea-Jung looked a little dispirited when she saw him remain the same and complained, "Little brother, how could you remain the same even after hearing your friend got a deal like that. I thought this surprise would get some emotions out of the emotionless face of yours. Now I'm starting to think if I made a cyborg as my brother." sulking on the couch.
Joon-won looked at her and shook his head at how childish she acts. He was expecting something like this after seeing the people in the room and he also believed if not then Jung-hwa would get an opportunity worthy of her talents in some or other way. People who were hardworking and talented couldn't be contained in a university like this, especially after how she acted in the drama earlier.
Do Hwan, on the other hand, acted as he didn't hear her comment and said, "You know, at first I was very apprehensive about even coming to this exam today. I mean, as I said earlier, you guys are first year and on top of that in the regular batch. So how talented might one person be for Hea-Jung to call me in the middle of the day and pester me for the remaining of the day that she wanted me to attend this exam?"
"This was the first time I saw her pester anyone for someone else in her whole 21 years of life. So color me surprised. I originally planned to enjoy my rare day-off but due to this monster, I came. If there wasn't any good actor like she promised, I would have tied her in ropes and delivered her to her mother."

"WAIT, WHAT? How could you do this to me, Uncle? You were scheming so many cruel things in your mind." Hea-Jung shouted and interrupted him.
Of course, once again her rant was ignored as he continued, "But color me surprised. My dumb niece was really true this time. Such a talent you have. That small role with only two parts really show-cased what you have."
Joon-won looked at Do Hwan in the eye, before nodding and replying, "Thanks for the compliment."
"Well, after looking at how you act and carry yourself on stage, it almost feels like you are a veteran. Have you acted before?"
'Yes, my acting experience is more than your whole life.' but he couldn't say that, after all, he looked like a 20-year-old boy.
So, he shook his head and said, "No. This is the first time I acted on stage. I started acting only after coming to the university, prior to that I had no experience or knowledge." making it clear.
"Woah, Little brother. You didn't act before you joined the university? That means the acting skills you show are your learning in one year. Wow, now I can tell everybody I have a super talented brother." Hea-Jung gasped after hearing that while showing a proud expression as if she was his mother. He felt his neck might break at how many times he shook his head at her actions.
"Yes, it really is surprising to see such a talent these days. Now I am more sure that you will have a bright future. Now, what do you think about the offer I gave to your friend earlier? Of course, there are some changes in terms. I want you to practice in drama houses this entire summer and I will recommend you to the more famous ones in the city. By the end of this month, you will get a chance to join my agency."

This was a very enticing offer. The man was only asking him to get more experience and then he could directly enter an agency. No first-year university student would get such a good offer if they did not have a nice background. So for people like them who don't have a background, it was like striking gold.
But Joon-won had other plans. He didn't want to join a drama house. He has abundant experience in drama. What he wanted now was a chance to act in a movie as soon as possible. This showed the confidence he had in his decades of experience and skills.
He shook his head and said, "Although your offer is enticing, especially for a person with no background like me. What I want now is a chance to act in a movie. So, I plan to give auditions this coming summer and try my luck. Drama houses are great but it's not a stop I need right now."
His response shocked everyone in the room. He actually rejected a good offer and just as Hea-Jung was about to convince him, Do Hwan cut in and said, "Boy, you have too much confidence in yourself. The entertainment industry is a jungle and if you can't back up that confidence you showed, you will drown and never get back up."
"But, I like your confidence. Your skills are good but that small role you just showed isn't enough to land you a role in a movie. How about this, I am producing a new film this summer. The casting is almost over but there is still one role left and we are still thinking about it. Do you want to try?"

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
