《ReWritten: The War of The Kingdoms》Turbulence On Set (Part 3)

Everything felt numb as Kenji lost feeling in his knees and fell to the ground, dropping his phone as it slid a few feet away. His body never felt weaker. The shock instantly took over him as his mind became cloudy, not able to feel anything. He knew things were bad, but he remained optimistic that the treatments were helping. Constantly battling not to think of the worst-case scenario.
"Kenji, Kenji? Can you hear me?" The doctor said, unfortunately, Kenji couldn't hear or feel anything, not even the director yelling for him from inside.
"Where is that guy? We can't waste any time. We only have this location for another day."
Ito worriedly scans the area, wondering why he hasn't returned yet. "I'll go look for him." Ito said, dashing to the nearest exit.
A large construction truck zooms by Kenji, the sound of clanking metal snapping him out of it. He picks up his phone with shaky hands, barely able to hold it.
"Sorry, doctor. I'll call you back."
"Okay, call me as soon -" Kenji hangs up the phone, unaware his doctor was saying anything. He stares at the cigarette-filled ground by the lockers as the blistering sun beaded down on his neck. He could only feel the cold sweat running down his hair and the lack of oxygen surrounding him.
Ito goes outside, searching nervously for Kenji. He turns the corner to the lockers and finds Kenji sitting and staring at the lockers. "Kenji, are you okay? Kenji." Ito said more urgently while shaking him.
Kenji stared up at Ito with a soulless expression, frightening Ito. "Huh, oh, sorry, I must've lost track of time."
"They're waiting for us. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I just needed to sit down for a second." Kenji said so softly that it's almost a whisper. Ito grabs his hand and pulls him up, doing most of the work, as Kenji still couldn't feel his legs. As they both return to the set, Kenji continues to feel paralyzed by the news, not even hearing Hiro welcoming him back.

"Hurry, idiot. Where the heck were you?" Hiro said while standing on his mark, tapping his feet as his patience ran out.
As everyone moves to their spot, ready to finish the day, Sungwoo notices a lady right outside the set waving around what looked to be a scepter. Not thinking much of it, he focuses back on the scene. But his attention quickly returns to her when the scepter begins to glow and a ball of light appears behind her.
The light shot out of the scepter, emitting a full palette of colors. The glow slowly intensifies as the woman waves the scepter in larger movements.
Sungwoo glances around to check if anyone else sees her, but to his surprise, no one seems to notice. "Action." The director shouts, taking Sungwoo by surprise. As the scene starts filming, the ground suddenly shakes.
As the shaking continues, everyone begins to question if this is for the show. "Wait, does anyone feel that?" Wataru said.
"Yeah, is that supposed to happen?" Jin asked.
"Keep rolling. It's probably heavy trucks driving by." The Director said, not wanting to fall further behind schedule. The shaking became more intense. Sending some of the set decorations to crash on the ground, nearly hitting Yong as he dives out of the way. Sora checks on Yong as he tries to stand up.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, luckily I dodged it or else that could've killed me."
Sora's eyes then beamed at the director, slamming her sword on the ground. "Keep rolling? Are you insane? It feels like there's an earthquake?"
"Cut, everyone stop." The director yelled, not wanting to test Sora's patience with a sword, prop or no prop. The director motions to everyone to take a break while they figure out what caused the shaking when a blinding light shines across the set. As the light intensifies, the director raises his hand to shield his eyes, unable to see more than two feet in front of him. As the light begins to dim, he cautiously lowers his hand. But as the light disappeared, so did the actors. Vanishing instantly, leaving the director and crew to gaze at a now-empty set.

City of Champions Online

She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.
