《|1827| Showbiz》Chap 6

Tsuna không phải là nghệ sĩ có tiếng tăm gì nhưng mối quan hệ của cậu trong giới cũng tương đối ổn. Có thể nói là ai đối với cậu cũng hoà nhã. Ít nhất là do cậu nghĩ như vậy.
Nhưng hôm nay, có lẽ Tsuna cần suy nghĩ lại. Bởi cậu có thể lờ mờ cảm nhận địch ý từ một vài cô gái ở trong trường quay hướng về phía cậu.
Điều khiến Tsuna khó hiểu là, mới hôm qua thôi, họ còn khá thân thiện với cậu, vậy mà chỉ sau một hôm, thái độ của họ đột nhiên quay ngoắt. Tsuna tự hỏi, không biết cậu đã làm gì khiến họ phật ý tới như vậy.
Bởi vì Tsuna là một nghệ sĩ nhỏ, nên công ty chưa sắp xếp trợ lý cho cậu, điều đó có nghĩa là việc gì Tsuna cũng phải tự thân vận động.
Đến giờ nghỉ giải lao, Tsuna đi đến căn phòng nhỏ trà nước để uống một chút. Nhưng khi cậu định tiến vào thì bên trong vang lên giọng nói, Tsuna nghe loáng thoáng có nhắc đến tên cậu nên đã dừng lại nghe.
"Các cô có nghĩ chuyện ngày hôm qua là cậu ta cố tình không?"
"Chắc chắn là vậy chứ còn gì nữa."
"Đúng đó. Cậu ta cố tình ngã rồi còn cắn vào môi của Hibari-sama nữa chứ."
"Hừ! Cậu ta lúc nào cũng tỏ vẻ làm như mình ngây thơ lắm. Nhưng không ngờ lại thủ đoạn như vậy."
"Thật đó! Uổng công tôi lúc đầu còn khá là mến cậu ta..."
Nghe đến đó, Tsuna chỉ lặng lẽ rời đi. Cậu thật sự rất bực mình, nhưng cãi nhau với họ cũng có được lợi ích gì đâu, có khi càng khiến họ thêm thoả mãn vì chọc tức được cậu.

Hơn nữa, kể cả cậu không bị ngã đi chăng nữa thì theo kịch bản vẫn là phải chạm môi Hibari. Cậu cố tình làm như vậy để làm gì cơ chứ? Không lẽ họ mù quáng tới mức như vậy?
Nhắc đến Hibari, may cho Tsuna là hôm nay anh có lịch trình khác nên không thể đến trường quay, chứ nếu không chắc cậu không diễn nổi mất.
Hôm qua, sau khi Tsuna làm môi của Hibari bị thương, cậu cứ nghĩ đời cậu thế là hết, có lẽ cậu sẽ bị đá khỏi bộ phim vì đã mắc lỗi như vậy, dám làm ngôi sao nổi tiếng nhất hiện nay bị thương. Cậu nghĩ, kể cả đạo diễn không đá bay cậu thì Hibari cũng sẽ khiến cậu biến mất. Nhưng không, trước sự lo lắng của tất cả mọi người, Hibari chỉ lành lạnh nói "Tiếp tục diễn." và mọi người lại tiếp tục diễn thật.
Nhớ đến chuyện ngày hôm qua, Tsuna vô thức đưa tay chạm vào môi mình. Cảm giác hơi ấm đôi môi của Hibari như vẫn còn vấn vít trên môi cậu.
"Môi của anh ta thật sự rất mềm." Cậu khẽ thì thầm.
Tsuna đang suy nghĩ đến xuất thần nên không biết có người tiến đến gần cậu, người đó choàng tay lên vai cậu, môi kề sát tai của cậu.
"Hể, cái gì mềm cơ Tsunayoshi-kun?"
Hành động bất ngờ này khiến Tsuna giật thót. Cậu quay ngoắt về phía phát ra âm thanh và thấy gương mặt tươi cười giảo hoạt của Byakuran.
"Byakuran! Sao anh lại ở đây?"
"Tôi quay phim ở gần đây nên tới để thăm cậu. Mà, cậu nói cái gì mềm cơ Tsunayoshi-kun?"
"C-c-c-c-cái gì mềm! T-t-t-t-tôi không có nói gì hết!" Thôi xong, không biết anh ta nghe được những gì.

"Hmmm?" Byakuran nhìn chằm chằm Tsuna tìm tòi, rồi gã nhún vai. "Mà thôi, tôi vừa nghe được một tin đồn khá thú vị nên đến để muốn xác nhận."
"T-t-tin đồn gì?" Tsuna có dự cảm không lành.
"Rằng cậu và Hibari-kun đang hẹn hò. Hai người còn hôn nhau nồng cháy nữa."
"Không thể nào! Tôi ghét anh ta còn không hết!" Tsuna thốt lên, không để ý tới vẻ mặt thích thú của Byakuran.
Rồi một giọng nói lạnh lạnh quen thuộc xen vào.
"Ồ! Không nghĩ cậu ghét tôi tới như vậy."
Thế quái nào! Không phải hôm nay anh ta sẽ không đến phim trường sao?
Tsuna cảm thấy, có lẽ ngày hôm nay cậu bước nhầm chân ra cửa. Nếu không thì tại sao đột nhiên lại xảy ra nhiều chuyện như vậy chứ. Hết Byakuran, giờ lại tới Hibari. Còn điều rắc rối gì nữa thì xuất hiện nốt đi. Cậu không còn gì luyến tiếc nữa rồi.
"Oya oya... Thế nào mà hôm nay lại tụ tập đông đủ như vậy nhỉ."
Ngay khi giọng nói vừa cất lên, xung quanh Tsuna như dậy sóng. Cậu có cảm tưởng từng luồng sát khí đang toả ra xoay vần.
Ba kẻ rắc rối nhất cùng xuất hiện tại một nơi. Đáng thương nhất là Tsuna, bị kẹp giữa ba kẻ rắc rối ấy.
Làm ơn, ai đó đến cứu tôi...

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

8 169Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.
