Ian met PewDiePie in this world for the first time. He couldn’t help but notice the similar features on his face. It was almost the same person he had seen hundreds of you-tube videos about.

But unfortunately, his name wasn’t the same.

“Downloads seemed to have progressed on a much larger scale, Mr Renner. If this continues, we might have to start working on a sequel for the game,” Campisi said as he looked into the database in his office.

Ian nodded.

“We can work on the second game, but not right now. Anyway, I’ll need to get back to work,” Ian said as he stood and shook hands with the chief designer of Feazel Gaming.

Mr Campisi bid Ian goodbye from his office.

“This is good. Let Feazel Gaming handle the rest of the stats related to Resident Evil, when is our shooting scheduled?” Ian asked Murphy.

Murphy quickly took a glance at the schedule chart that was in his hand.

“In a week, sir. We’ll be moving around regularly for shooting, so we should plan ahead in time.”

Ian nodded agreeing with Murphy.

Since Resident Evil was released, now he could finally focus on the making of The Godfather.

Along with The Godfather, he had several ideas in his mind. But he wanted the special projects to be directed by himself. The risk of giving off the idea and messing it up had higher stakes to it than he admitted.

“Well, make sure we are all set with the managers. I’m off to one of my final meetings with Steven for the last project,” Ian said and walked out of Murphy’s office.

With everything moving faster and more smoothly, he needed the book to be published sooner.

[Ian’s Office]

With heavy thoughts in his mind, he faintly heard the door to his office unlocking.

Steven’s head peaked in from the office door.

“Mr Steven, please come in, have a seat.”

“Thanks. The launch was a success, I heard?” Steven sat comfortably and questioned.

“Yes, it was…” Ian was interrupted momentarily as Murphy walked inside with coffee for the pair. He continued. “So, what good news have you brought?” he asked.

“Ah yes, I was looking at the video game cover,” Steven pointed at what was on the table. “It looks pretty addictive to me.”

Ian gave a slight smile. “The story started with Actus, so I guess you can say that.”

“Yes, so, Ian. Here is the final edited manuscript. It took three teams to put this together, but well, here it is. You can go through the highlighted changes one by one. Ah, feel free to point anything out.”

“Sure, thanks. How about the cover? What are we cooking?”

“Well, for now, we have some. I brought them as you asked, but we have room and time to develop more,” Steven said and planted the pen drive he brought on the table.

After a few minutes of the conversation, Steven exited the room. He was content with the discussions they had. They talked about the release days and touched upon how the marketing procedure will go. But it left both the men with a positive hope for LoTR.

As soon as Steven left the room, Ian started to check out the covers they had been making.

He inserted the pendrive, and let his eyes wander around all the designs.

“Wow, these are just…”

Ian’s eyes halted on one image. It was still a work in progress, but it was a good work in progress.

It was a beautiful creation. The picture was against a backdrop of majestic mountains and lush green landscapes, a figure clad in a flowing cloak stood at the forefront. The silhouette of the iconic One Ring glistened with an ethereal glow, symbolising the central quest of the story. The title, adorned in elegant typography, was emblazoned across the top, evoking a sense of grandeur and adventure.

“Work in progress, but still. I can’t take my eyes off of this,” he said to himself and wrote how the cover can be developed.
