《Reel or Real》Chapter 11: My parents’ past
Advertisement
The next day was the weekend, I thought it is good at least I will be safe from the school gossip forum, nowadays I had become a favorite topic in the school circle. But I was wrong my weekend sleep was broken by roommate Erin, why the hell he is shouting.
"What the hell is your problem Erin ?"
Erin with a shocked expression, "You and I have been friends for so long why didn't you told me that you are the son of a big star. No wonder your laptop and mobile are filled with celebrity photos and here I thought your father must be a paparazzi" He was showing tantrums in the morning.
"I thought it is not necessary, wait a minute how do you know."
Erin pretending to be hurt pointed in the school gossip forum displaying on his laptop, they are now realizing that my skin colour is a little darker compared to my father I really do look like him, they also gave the link below where they got the information. I clicked the video it was my maternal aunt in the video she clearly was angry.
"When Augustiya will stop harassing my baby sister, he was always been like this first he was the one to approach my sister when she was only 16 years old. They had proposed to my sister for marriage, we had declined it as she was young but it didn't stop him to approach my sister. And finally, my father approved of marriage when she completed her graduation. Now they are divorced also he doesn't let go of my little Sukhi because of him my Sukhi was not able to marry again." Then she showed a photo album it was a marriage album, there were a lot of photos of every ceremony during the wedding. My mother was wearing a red bridal dress, then she showed a wedding video and there was a scene which had stunned people my father had kissed my mom in a Hindu wedding ceremony which should not have been done. In an Indian Hindu wedding, people don't kiss. There were even my photos with my parents, some very fond memories came back to me. Then my aunt said something about my parents being unaware that my mom was pregnant with my little sister when they got divorced and my mom had gone through a nervous breakdown in the court session leading her to ICU. After that incident, my father took my mother back to the USA with him and they lived together for six years after the divorce. My aunt complained about how my father keeps blackmailing my mom in the name of children.

My aunt never liked my dad she always curses him making me upset all the time. Seeing my bad mood Erin tried to cheer me up the whole day, he felt that my aunt is exaggerating because any blind person can see my parents are on good terms now. Actually, I knew my parents are divorced but for me, it was a word. My parents always stick with each other and they never fought each other seriously, they will always tease each other. One of the reasons I feel my parents are stupid even they are divorced I always see them together. Because of I clearly remember that one day my mother was very tense during dinner time, I was not able to sleep in the night because of it I thought of sleeping with Mom but when I opened the bedroom door I saw both of them together in bed my father was hugging my mother's waist and try to coax her to sleep. That memory never fainted that's why I always thought they are together forever.
My Mother had become the hottest search, in those throwback articles, she was mentioned as a seductress, gold digger and Cinderella, etc because my parent's status differs a lot. My, mom, was a middle-class woman and my father one can say was a prince coming from a very wealthy family.

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can. But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own. Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true. This is a mirror of Nowhere Stars' home site, located here. Updates will be posted at the same time, currently once a week on Wednesdays. Support Nowhere Stars on Top Web Fiction here!

Ryan doesn't remember much about his life before becoming a dungeon core. Only that he had a bit of a disagreement with the church -- something to do with a beheading?

Some adventurers just deserve a stalactite to the head. But Ryan quickly learns being a darkness dungeon isn't all loot and bone puns.

Year 202x, Earth discovered that they were not alone in the Universe. The governments were made known that Earth, was actually located in the backwaters of the Galaxy and even further from the center of the Universe. Located far away from where many of the other lifeforms were born and interacted. In fact they were so far away that the types of energy Earth is able to utilize, is really limited compared to those from the center of the Universe. It was a wonder, that the people of Earth could even develop to what they are even now. The following year, Earth has decided to join the galactic alliance. A decade later, the regular people of Earth could finally start entering the Universe. Albeit in a different form, from what many may expect.
