"The moment everyone is waiting for. Let's welcome..... Super star Arjun Vishwa Aryan"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Whistle! Whistle! Whistle!
"Arjun!"
"Arjun!"
"Arjun!"
"Arjun!"
"Arjun!"
.....
...
..
The sounds of thunderous claps, buzzing whistles, passionate screams accompanied by the background BGM shook the ground, creating a small earthquake.
Tens of thousands people cheering at the top their lungs.
The celebrities at the front, including famous directors, star actors and actresses, popular singers, choreographers, musicians... everyone stood up, and started clapping with admiring expressions; especially female celebrities.
The huge stage across the crowd is shining with myriad starry lights, as if welcoming a celestial being.
As the whole world is excitedly witnessing this long-awaited moment, an extremely handsome young man, named Arjun Vishwa Aryan ( in short Arjun) wearing complete silver white tuxedo started walking towards the stage. His whole being filled with majesty and grandeur, especially his charming handsome face. Short-jet black hair, pair of icy-blue eyes, jewel-like sharp nose, thin lips which held a light smile making young female fans' hearts flutter. Every part of Arjun's body potrayed his unparrallel handsomeness. Even if all the top male models combine, it might not be enough to compare with him.
In the face of overbearing crowd, Arjun didn't show an ounce of panic. Step by step, he slowly but confidently strolled towards the stage.
Just as he is about to step on the first step of the stage, his foot lost balance and his body akwardly started falling back. The whole world started spinning before his eyes. The stage, lights, celebrities, fans, claps, whistles, the mc who was about announce the award, everything... everything became a blur and started disappearing.

"No, no, my award, my beautiful award...."
Thud !
"Ouch, that hurt... So the whole thing was just a dream?" Arjun dazedly mumbled to himself while rubbing his hurting head with one hand and his butt with the other.
Arjun was 20 years old, recently granduated from a first rate drama university. Yesterday he went to his 17th interview for a small role in a local movie. Though he had a handsome face and decent talent, just like the previous interviews, he wasn't selected. Reason? simple! He lacked money to bribe and connections for recommendation.
Drowned in sorrow, he got drunk last night before coming back to his room. It's not his first time dreaming about the award and certainly not a second time either.
Arjun dazedly looked around and felt like something is different today.
'whatever. Must be my hallucination!' pushing the creeping uneasy feeling aside, he got himself up with the support of the bed.
Arjun suddenly thought of something and hastily pushed the pillow on the bed aside. There was an exquisite mobile phone under the pillow.
A delighted expression appeared on his face. Wasn't this exact mobile phone he pickup by the roadside last night? he might make a small fortune by selling it. Thinking up to here, he laughed and gently took the phone into his hands and started checking it out.
The mobile phone is 7.5 inches in length and 3.5 inches in width. it neither had a cover on it's back nor a safety glass on the screen. Its back is fully black and just like most of the other smart phones, it had front and back cameras, the start up button is on the right and volume buttons are on the left. As for the logo on the back...
' 'Om' symbol (1)? A new company?' Arjun thought puzzlingly. As far as he could remember, there was no mobile company with that logo.
'If it is a new company, then there might be some new features...' with expectant look, he pressed the startup button. Immedialy the screen lit up. It didn't ask for any password but directly opened up the home screen.
There were only 2 apps on the home screen- Google, YouTube.
With a smile, Arjun swiped left
"....."
he swiped right
"....."
he swiped top
"....."
he swiped bottom
"....."
he shook the phone
"....."
.....

A few moments later
With an ugly smile, he punched the phone
"....."
he bit it between his teeth
"....."
.....
....
A few minutes later
"What kind of shitty phone is this? It doesn't even had a charging bar." after trying everything he could, Arjun felt like crying. Except of those 2 apps, there was nothing else in there. How could there be a smart phone like this? Even the good old Nokia phone had more options than this one!
With a disgusted expression, he threw it onto the wall.
The mobile phone flew off in the air and hit the wall. Unexpectedly it didn't break but bounced back and hit Arjun's head.
"F*ck" Arjun cursed loudly as fell down on his bed. His head felt like splitting off. Clutching on to it, he wailed at the excruciating pain.
Suddenly some unfamiliar yet familiar memories rushed into his brain making his thoughts blurry and unclear. They started merging into his brain...
The pain didn't last long, it receded in just 5 minutes.
As he regained his clarity, Arjun's eyes widened in disbelief as he once again started looked around in his room.
Damn !!!
No wonder he felt like something is off with his room today. This- this is not his room he slept in last night.
Everything here is different.
The colour of the walls is not white anymore but light yellow.
The 3-winged fan attached to the ceiling became a 4-winged fan.
The hexagonal clock with a santa toy on the wall became a plain triangular clock.
The Sunny Leone's sexy posters on the wall disappeared.
The mirror that should be on the wall of the back of the bed is on the wall in front.
The reflection in mirror... it is still the same handsome and beautiful face of his previous self. Hmm, then it should be okay....
"...ok my a*s ! I f*cking transmigrated to a parrallel world." Arjun slapped himself thinking the whole thing is a dream. Transmigrate? How did he transmigrate? He neither hit by a truck-kun nor did he struck by lightning... How in the hell did he even transmigrate? His thoughts wandered as his head is in a mess.
Suddenly his eyes landed on the PC at the corner. There was a logo written "Dream" instead of "Microsoft", even the monitor's size is a lot different. The colour, design.... wait, PC? Arjun's eyes lit up. He hastily went to the PC and pressed the startup button.
The screen lit up in a few seconds. 'AXcdffgd123' Arjun's fingers danced on the keyboard without any unfamiliarity. He typed the complex password naturally like he was very familiar with it before.
Before long, many applications Arjun unfamiliar with appeared on the window. Moving the cursor, he clicked the eye shaped application on the top right corner. From his memories he know it is a search engine.
After opening it, he typed "Titanic" and clicked the enter button.
Error!
".....!!!" Arjun's eyes widened in disbelief. Still, his hands didn't stop typing.

Mess, A huge Mess. After two hours of internet surfing, he concluded that this whole world is a big Mess.
The planet name is still "Earth", but it's size, it's a lot bigger than the previous one.
The seven wonders are still seven, but the seven continents are not 7 here, instead 5: The Great Asia, Europe Kingdom, American Empire, African continent, Australian Island.
The economic and technology standards of this Earth rose by 100 years but the entertainment, literary standards fell by 200 years.
Ancient Epics like Mahabharata, Ramayana are still there, but their translations, adaptations lacked in quality.
Historical events like Freedom Movement, Salt Satyagraha Movement are still present but there no traces of many great figures like Bhagath singh, Jansi Lamxi Bai...
Prime poet of Telugu Nannaya, Sophistry poet Tenali Ramakrishna, Rabindra Nath Tagore, NandhaMoori Taraka Ramarao, Legendary Director Rajamouli, Great actress Savitri, Super star Mahesh babu, Rebel Star Prabhas, Power Star Pawan Kalyan, Great Movies like Bahubali, 3 Idiots, Race Gurram, Comedy show Jabardasth, Dance show Dhee, Daily Serials like Heart and Care ( Manasu Mamatha), the Pearl of a Wife ( Bharyamani)... disappeared without a trace. This world's entertainment industry, it's entirely different from his previous world.
'What a random mess! How did I even arrive to this world? Went to an interview, failed it as usual, got drunk, picked up a phone by roadside, sle-... wait, the mobile phone.' Arjun abruptly turned and looked around. His eyes landed on the mobile phone at the corner of room with no hint of damage on it. His expression brightened and his heart started thumping with unknown excitement.
Without hesitation, Arjun gently picked up the phone with care like a precious porcelain doll. The screen was still lit up with the only 2 apps: Google, YouTube.
He opened the YouTube app and started typing in 'search' panel
"Despacito"
'Luis Fonsi - Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee' with this title, a video clip appeared on the screen. It's the same video of 4:47 min duration with 6.9 Billion views from his world.
Arjun slapped his thigh hard and started laughing madly.
"Indeed. This thing does had access to the previous world's internet. Doesn't that mean I can reproduce all the classics from the previous world here?
Hahahahaha...
This is it !
My ultimate road to become an ultimate plagiari- *cough World Famous Super Star!"
