How To Be A Superstar

Yang Jingshen– first-tier actor and celebrated artist… When he had been convinced that he could finally achieve his dream of becoming a film emperor, he died in an unfortunate accident that happened at the function that was supposed to kickstart his glittering future. And, when he opened his eyes against all odds, Yang Jingshen found himself in the body of Feng Xi; a female cannon fodder character in a trashy web novel he read recently.T_T Pathetic extraordinaire indeed, but then, what was a man to do except grit his teeth while hoping to make the best out of a situation that appeared woefully hopeless? And, Yang Jingshen had been nothing but pragmatic all his life. So, deciding to quietly settle into his new life, he slowly started to assimilate himself into this world. But then, tragedy struck again. Mysterious voice: “You have to take revenge for Feng Xi and help her achieve her dreams.” Yang Jingshen: “...” Mysterious voice: “Or your soul will be obliterated.” (╯^╰) Yang Jingshen: “...” Mysterious voice: “You can buy powerful gadgets at our shop using points you earn to complete this mission!” ^_^ Yang Jingshen: “... Can I just go back?” T T Mysterious voice: “...” But, was everything as simple as it appeared to be? And, what’s with this person, always buzzing around him like a pesky little fly? He only treated him as a good brother, ok? What kind of unfortunate and terrible misunderstanding is this? ##### This book might be a romance genre novel, but it's a slow burn and there would be many other things at play as well. So, if you guys are looking for a quick-paced, romance-only story, this might not be the thing for you.

A Virtual Invasion

An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel. Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of? The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters. There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak. So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain? So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

The Timeskip Extra

This story is about finding a normal love, raising a normal family, and finding a place in an insanely abnormal world of magic. "Hi! I am like a transmigrator… nice, right? Oh, don’t envy me. You see, I got transmigrated into a novel I know. What is the title again? Ah~! The novel [Hero Ender] which takes place in the [Academy] and blah... blah... blah... All of them are kind of unnecessary to my story so let's skip that." So a question first to kickstart our relationship/s, the reader (you), the author, and me- Do you know what the first thing I did after my transmigration? That's rhetorical, by the way. The answer is... I FREAKING RAN AWAY FROM THE PLOT! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! So if you're reading this, then I don't know! I guess just have fun and I hope you see what you are looking for in my story! Roughly, the plot is almost like this: After a Timeskip of ten decades’ worth when I know the epilogue should have long ended, and the credit score has rolled, I finally decide to return to civilization. I wonder what’s waiting for me at home. My name by the way is… Randel Eir Dromastus and I am like a side character noble in the backwaters territory. Nice, right!? "To slow living it is!! FORWARD!" I yell my ambition to the fourth wall imagining myself as some smartass protagonist. But oh no, this here is not protagonist material at all! (I hope.) #Misunderstanding #Overpowered #Side Character #SLightly Mentally Sick Protagonist #Very Rare Footage of Fourth Wall Breaks I swear #Family Bonding #Romance #Give Me Stones

Walker of Dreams; Becoming the Dream Lord

Allen Bright was almost the same as every normal person. He went to high-school and had just started to attend college when he was suddenly struck with the diagnosis of a rare genetic disease. Fatal insomnia led to the death of Allen. However, as if to mock him, he was reincarnated into a world where magic, cultivation, and profound abilities are everywhere with one simple catch. He has a system. One that allows him to enter his dreams or others and take out what he finds with the correct requirements fulfilled. "From death by insomnia, to sleeping for strength. How ironic.." Allen muttered with a sigh, looking around him at his new home and wishing he could return one day to his family. Follow Allen on his story. From sleepless nights, to thrilling mornings. ---------- This idea randomly came to me on a sleepless night myself, and I thought it would be fun to write and bring attention to a incredibly rare illness, fatal insomnia. This isn't made up whatsoever, and I found it to be a way to kickstart this story. If you or someone you know shows symptoms of insomnia, or worse, the fatal variant of it, I hope this helps see some of those signs at the beginning, at least. There is no cure for fatal insomnia, but there is medication to help with some of its effects. I do hope, however, you enjoy this story as I start to write it on my own insomnia filled night, and to everyone else with a fairly normal sleep schedule, how's the daylight? I sleep through a good portion whenever I do find myself sleeping so I wanted to ask. To you, fellow authors, readers, and average book enjoyers, I wish you happy reading, a good night's sleep, as well as hope your creativity continues to flow. Have a good day/night, my friends!
