《Infinity || Dan Smith》Three.
Advertisement
"So..." Dan's mother's voice trails off with excitement. She is absolutely over the moon with joy Dan is starring in a film.
"It went well." Dan admits with a massive smile on his face, the smile of which is definitely bigger than someone who has unfortunately been on the receiving end of a Chelsea smile.
"Is that just it? Tell me all about it! Show me your script...I wanna see." Dan shakes his head, which kills him, because he loves his mother more than anything and anyone. But this film is top secret - although some Marvel obsessed fans are already theorising the possibility of a Liam Dawson movie - nothing has been made official to the fans as of yet.
"Oh come on! I promise I won't tell anyone. At least tell me the character you're playing" Isla Smith, Dan's mother, has deliberately been given him wine continuously since he arrived. It's only because she wants him to fuck up and reveal which superhero he's playing.
"I'm...no. No." Much to Isla's dismay Dan nearly fucked up. But at he knows it. For a few seconds he closes his eyes and drunkenly smiles...but most importantly he feels good.
Usually when the thirty-two year old gets drunk he becomes extremely emotional - but after the great table reads today - things are finally starting to look positive for the film. In the pre-production days many directors refused to sign onto the movie, including the Russo Brothers. No one wanted to fail Marvels last movie. No one. But now things are starting to finally lookup for the film. They've got the crew, the director, and most importantly their lead actor. Filming begins next week, and the best part for Dan is that he can walk to the set site. No flying half way around the world, or whatever A-listers normally have to do. It's the first - and last - British Marvel solo superhero film.
Marvel wants to end the cinematic universe on a different note. They want a dark movie, but with a important message. It's what made half of the cast sign up for the project, they all know that it's going to be hard...but as long as they spread the true message of the film in a 'non-preachy' way then it's job done.

"If you really must know..." - Dan's voice trails off as he remembers what Aubrey Chambers told him about what he can and can't say. She said that's okay to give some information, and subtle hints if need be - "he isn't a popular character, so it's safe to say you won't know him." Isla then makes a disappointed 'oh' sound while Dan sniggers like a immature twelve year old.
Dan had no idea who Liam Dawson was, nor did he know that his superhero name is Illusion. He didn't have any idea of his superpowers either. So it's funny seeing his mother's reaction to the most unpopular superhero, because he had the exact same reaction in the casting call. Especially since he's consumed way more wine than he should've...
"So you're not an Avenger?" At the end of the film Liam does become an Avenger. Even in Dan's current state, he manages to shrug his shoulders backwards. Dan isn't actually confirming or denying her question, which is a considerably smart move from a very drunk man.
"This secrecy is going to kill you. You do know that right?" She laughs while Dan itches his very red nose. In fact his whole face is getting redder by the second. But Dan remains silent, which is very unusual for someone who loves to talk about anything and everything.
Out of curiosity Isla asks one of the bigger things on her mind. She wants to watch the film...but she doesn't necessarily want to watch her son having a intimate sex scene. "Is there a...you know" - Isla whispers with smile - "a sex scene?" Dan rolls his eyes backwards at her comment. Even when he's drunk he remains sassy.
"Or a scene with your top off? I don't know much, but I do know that you have to be...buff. Especially to play a superhero" Dan laughs shaking his head, even though there is going to be a shirtless scene half way through the movie.
"That's a first, especially in one of those films. Are you sure that you're lying to me?" Dan unconvincingly shakes his head which makes Isla smile.
"You have an incredible body already, okay? You just remember that before people tell you other. I want nobody changing you. Nobody. Understand?" For a moment Dan stops smiling, instead he acts fairly mature and nods his head in reassurance. However, the maturity doesn't last long as he tries to stomach a vomit feeling for the second time today.

"I've got the right body type for-" Dan cuts himself off with a nervous laugh. This shit is going to drive me fucking insane - even his subconscious knows how important it is to keep this role a total secret from everyone.
"For?" Isla smiles while she stirs the chicken curry. But Dan shakes his head as he leans against the kitchen island, which sits in the middle of the room with a glossy ceramic surface. "
Please stop asking." He then mumbles holding his head as the kitchen suddenly becomes fuzzy and he feels like he is on a anchored ship, spinning round and round, in a terrible storm.
"Okay" Isla sighs again, but she still smiles thinking about her son being a film star.
This is a rather big deal.
She's just sad that Dan can't celebrate about his role in the way he could do with another - non secretive - film.
"Do you want another drink?" Dan declines the offer by shaking his head.
"I really should go home..." he says before literally stumbling over his own foot. Isla grabs him quickly before he can fall, and nervously laughs whilst pulling him upwards.
"Oh no mister. You're not going home tonight." Dan then looks at her almost confused.
"I'm not?" Isla laughs at his hazy facial expression. Dan's face looks like the equivalent of when your hand goes numb after resting on it for too long.
"No, babe. You're going to stay here." Isla laughs as she starts to feel extremely guilty about getting her son intoxicated just so he can tell her everything about his film.
She's a proud mother...Isla can't help it. Being in a film is more important than a band. Dan's finally going to get worldwide recognition, it's terribly exciting.
"But I got...work. Is it work? I got to read. Mum. Please let me read tomorrow!" Dan whines like a small child before he breaks down with laughter. Isla on the other hand cringes.
"Wait, did you say that you've got another table read tomorrow?" She holds Dan's cheek so he remains straight instead of him slouching forwards, she does this in attempts to sober him up. Of course he still remains as drunk as ever.
"Dan!" She sternly shouts before patting him slightly harder on the cheek.
"I need to read tomorrow." Dan cracks up laughing in amusement. But Isla starts to panic. Her eyes glance from Dan to the three wine bottles in the bin, plus the open one on the kitchen island behind him.
"H-how...how important is the table read?" Isla says with a false smile while she thinks of ways to sober someone up. Dan shrugs before smiling, his eyes are pretty much closed at the moment.
"Very." He calmly says while she swears under her breath. She knows that Dan is a heavy sleeper after having a few drinks - let alone bottles - and he probably won't be awake or sober until early afternoon tomorrow.
"What time is it, darling? The table read?" Dan shrugs as he gets out his phone from his pocket.
Dan's fingers stumble on the wrong numbers - multiple times - but he eventually unlocks it with his parents wedding date. Neither of his parents knows that's his sweet passcode. He then puts it on his alarm app and points to the first alarm which is due to go off at precisely half five in the morning.
"Fucking hell." Isla clearly thought he was off until next week, since that's when he apparently starts filming.
"What?" Dan nervously laughs while she gives herself a facepalm.
She doesn't know what to do, "make yourself a glass of water...and then go to straight to bed." Dan is so out of it that he doesn't even question his mother's orders. Instead he leans over and hugs her tightly, Isla is in awe but she's frustrated with herself.
She might've jeopardise her son's new career...all because she wanted some gossip.

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead
The cycle is simple enough. A Dungeon Core is born from a wayward soul. It seeks power and agency, and works to accumulate wealth to fuel its power, in turn using this power to accumulate further wealth. Inevitably, the mind is lost as desperation and ambition drive it to commit darker and darker acts. Shortly thereafter, the adventurers arrive to quell the core. This is a tale that has repeated itself countless times throughout history: all cores desire power. And yet, this core seems to have it backwards. It doesn't want to rule the world. It has no desire to enslave or conquer. No, this core doesn't want to be a warlord, a villain, or a tyrant. It wants to start a core-poration. After all, when money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core that wastes an absurd amount of time and effort trying not to be evil on his journey to earn fat stacks against all odds. -This is a 'Dungeon Core' type fiction with LitRPG elements in it. The start may be fairly slow compared to the average. Expect roughly 2.5k per chapter. -I'm only a hobbyist writer. As such, there may be the occasional error and pacing may be poorly-handled. Constructive criticism is alway welcome. I'm just here to write stuff that makes my brain release the g o o d c h e m i c a l s. -I am trashy and I like monsterpeople so you can expect an awful lot of those as we get further in. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy.
