《Reel or Real》Chapter 27: Dandiya night
Advertisement
The scene moved to the location where the dandiya and Garba dance were going to be held. The hosts had given the choice to whichever form of dance they would like to join. All of them were lavishly dressed in traditional dresses, Sophie and Keiko preferred 'Salwar Kameez' (an Indian dress which is like wearing pajamas with a long scarf), Anjali chose Saree and Sukhwinder wore Lengha (this dress resembles like skirt and blouse). Men wore different types of designer Kurta (long shirt type). Everyone looked very happy as today's show was meant for fun.
Sophie and Conrad preferred Garba as they felt it was less dangerous compare to Dandiya while others chose Dandiya.
Balin's eyes were focused on the screen, he really liked to watch his parents dancing together. He wished that this moment lives forever. Balin hugged Tiarni and both of them fell asleep on the sofa while Erin who was too focused on eating dessert did not notice until granny Diana came to serve more snacks.
Past two days everyone was thinking about the result, on Monday morning both the hosts came to the show for announcing the result. Sukhi didn't look tensed at all, in fact, she was packing her things from the past two days. The hosts declared the results without any melodrama she left the show, saying goodbye to everyone.
After the show, Sukhi called her son Balin, he was very happy to hear her voice after so long. He felt everything is going to be good but good things don't last long. News about August being depressed after his ex-wife left the show was everywhere.
Many people approached Balin to know if his mom is a good person or not. Balin on the other hand was sure that his mom didn't see the show after coming back and he also didn't bother to tell her. Balin thought "if anyone has seen his father on his previous reality shows and interviews, they will notice that he had always been a serious and busy person. He is not at all good at socializing, only because of popularity he had appeared in other reality shows and thankfully many journalists also said the same about him. It was the first time to see him cracking jokes or getting angry, he has always portrayed himself as a very professional and humble man in public. He had only one scandal for putting a restraining order on Oliver Fox and nobody blamed him for that, after all, Oliver was stalking our family. Otherwise, he never had any scandals though people like to create groundless rumors".

August was considered a family man, in his office, people usually see his family pics or drawings made by his children. Once he was interviewed at his own house there also one can see the house had kids there were toys scattered all over the floor, the scene was evident that children were playing there before the reporter crew arrived. The crew had intentionally arrived early to get some shots of his kids, as he has taken a lot of security measures that his children stay out of the limelight.
On another side, Sukhwinder went straight to work after her long holiday. She was already mentally prepared that people may disturb her after the show, she was sure that some dirt must have been dug out on her. Well, one can't deny she was scandalous without reason. Unfortunately, the surrounding neighbors and colleagues tried to act extra normal around her as if she was a ticking bomb that could be blown out any minute, making things creepy.
The only one who was not able to control emotions was Sukhi's student who was infamous for always acting like he is 'Kabir Singh' with the only difference that he doesn't take drugs to forget his life problems.

And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Quantum Rip: Welcome to Ethos
A special day has come, a day that Earth has awaited for oh so long. The day where they are finally going to try and run the reactor. This had been long-awaited and everyone dropped off their kids with a hint of dread. Hoping that nothing would go wrong, we know it did. Since else there would not be a story. I won't go into too much detail, but only simply explain what happened. Due to some malfunctioning and incorrect assumptions, the reactor overproduced energy. Something which should have been impossible according to all the known knowledge of a really advanced Earth. I mean, they have even started colonizing planets. Have done countless simulations and even built test stations in space. Yet now, something had gone when they did the same on earth. Bizarre, right? This malfunctioning and imploding of the reactor caused a massive explosion due to the instability of space itself. This is also what allowed the story to exist, as our main characters were all transported. The method is not known, nor why they survived. We can say it is for the story, for now... They all now find themselves on Ethos, eating a mouthful of dirt as they struggled for breath. Some find their situation horrible, others find it relaxing and peaceful. Some see death, others see life. Despair and hope, madness and sanity on an edge. What has fate given you? Welcome to Ethos, a planet of magic.Welcome to Ethos, a planet orbiting an exotic star.Ethos wishes you luck in surviving. Maybe, just maybe... You can someday go back, or not. -----------------Release rate: 3 chapters(1200-1400 words) a week.
