Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 5

'Hmm, this paper was in my hand when I came to this body. What was this guy reading before he died?' Pulling the paper closer, he finally git a good look at the contents.
"Ah, it's a script. Let's see how it compare to the ones I wrote back then. Hope we don't lose out in this aspect." Feeling interested.
He slowly read the script in his hands. The script Kim Joon-won had wasn't the complete drama script, rather it was only his part of the drama. As he read, the anticipation and smile on his face faded away as a small frown formed on his face.
"No wonder that guy died due to anger. This is really sh*t even the role this guy got is literally only one whole page, not even a whole paper worth of dialogues. Such a small role." He couldn't help but lean back on the couch as he threw the paper to the side and closed his eyes.
He remembered the reason the owner of the body died. It was this script. The role was so small that he didn't have dialogues. He didn't get to know what the entire script was about but had some guess. Based on what his role was, it was situated in a school and was also a romance orientated drama.
"I felt happy about acting once again and this is what I get after coming here." He opened his eyes and sighed.
"Well now that most of the things here are done. Let's explore the outside world and see how advanced everything here is then." He sprung up from the couch as his eyes were filled with anticipation. He wanted to know more about this world and going out was the best way he could do that.

He grabbed the keys to the main door and made his way out. But as he did, he noticed a mask hanging on a hook beside the door. Grabbing it, he wore it and made his way out, locking the door.
There were only 5 similar houses for every floor in the three floors apartment. His house was on the second floor, so Kim Joon-won made his way down the hallway and then the stairs. Reaching the ground floor he walked out and saw the bustling streets.
The streets, people and the vehicles were a lot to take in for him and only snapped out of it after a whole minute. He looked to his left and right before stretching out his finger, he felt the wind blow to the right and decided to go to the right.
As he walked down the street, he saw different kinds of shops, Graffiti painted on walls, people riding on the skateboard and many more. He was so marvelled by everything around him that he didn't want to close his eyes, scared that he might miss something.
If anyone from his old world would see their calm, collected and old king like this they would stab themselves in the heart rather than believe their eyes.
As Kim Joon-won slowly walked through the streets, he suddenly stopped. His eyes were on a billboard which was flashing very brightly with a picture of a couple on it and a title next to it. It was a movie advertisement.
"So, that's a new movie. It seems to have released a few days ago. Let's see what these movies are. If I can remember a movie theatre should be around that corner." He was excited to see something new. He only knew dramas but as he saw that billboard he remembered the experience of seeing movies of the original Kim Joon-won and wanted to try out.

Slowly walking towards the theatre as he remembered, he finally reached it. Standing before the large theatre he felt excitement. This was going to be his first exposure to this world's mainline drama or rather movies as they called them.
He noticed that the theatre was about to play it's noon show of the movie billboard he saw on his way and walked towards the counter.
"One ticket for 'My love', please." With a polite smile to the lady behind the counter, while taking out his purse. Paying the money he got the ticket and made his way inside with excitement.
Going to the respective screen he already noticed that the movie had started and so he quietly made his way to his seat. As he sat he quickly noticed something very strange. Everyone around him or probably everyone in the entire theatre were couples.
But that thought only lasted a minute as his eyes were glued to the screen. He didn't turn his head even for a single second as he continued to watch the movie in isolation. He didn't hear the constant murmuring from the couple's all around him and was fixed to the screen.
The lights got back on after two complete hours. All the couple's and other people around him slowly got up one by one, exiting the screen but he remained there motionless. His eyes were still on the large blank screen in front.
He snapped out when a worker gently shook him, telling him that the movie was already done and it was time for him to go out. Slowly nodding he quietly exited the theatre and stood in the busy streets once again.
Stretching his stiff neck he sat on the nearby bench right in front of the theatre before sliding his eyes, cutting off all the noises from the busy streets, immersed in his own thoughts.
"Movies are really awesome." He murmured with a slight smile, looking at the floating clouds.

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
