Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 14

As both of them stood up, Joon-won looked at her and asked, "So, at which part should we start? I assume you only need to practice only certain parts of the interaction and not all of them." he wanted to help her, so asking this was important.
She looked at him in surprise. She didn't think he would ask her this question as what he said was true. She got most of the common interactions between the two characters down. She only needed help in the more emotional parts of the story.
Seeing the confidence in his voice and the calm look on his face, she couldn't help but reply, "I mainly need help in the more emotional sections of the story. It will be fine if you read out the dialogue normally and not put much effort if it's tough." she hurriedly tried to explain after snapping back. She was so concerned that she was forcing him that she did not even know that what she just said came out a bit rude.
Joon-won didn't mind her words and simply turned around a few pages before stopping on a page that had many dialogues between the heroine and the character Jung-hwa was playing.
"Alright then, let's start at this scene. It's the scene where you find out that the heroine is dating the hero and you want to advise her out of it. It carries a good emotion of concern you show on your friend, so let's just start here."
Cheo Jung-hwa just followed his words and turned the pages. She was simply following his words at this point, surprised by the level of confidence he carried. She looked at the dialogues for a second before looking up at him and giving a nod.
"Why did you call me to the back of the school, Jung-hwa? Don't tell me you are proposing?" The dialogues smoothly came out of Joon-won as he played the heroine role while slowly reading out the dialogues in a teasing manner.

The quick change in Joon-won's language and behavior caught Jung-hwa completely off guard. She never expected the sudden change and could not reply. She simply stared wide-eyed at him. She did not snap back until Joon-won shook her a little.
She looked at him and stuttered, "What was that Joon-won? You suddenly turned into a playboy with that teasing voice. I couldn't even react."
Seeing the girl's shocked face, he smiled and replied, "I was acting out the role you told me to. If I don't act out the role as closely as possible, how will you be able to improve? Now come on, we are wasting precious time by simply talking. I will read out the dialogue in the same manner once again, so you better react properly this time." making her nod absent-mindedly.
Joon-won just took another deep breath and started with his dialogue once again, "Why did you call me to the back of the school, Jung-hwa? Don't tell me you are proposing?" in the same teasing manner as before.
Already seen and taken back once, Jung-hwa held herself before replying in a serious tone, "Don't joke around. You probably know I figured it out, but let me be straightforward. I know you are dating Hyeong Myung. I am telling you, it's a terrible idea to do that at this time. Do these when you get into University, when it's freer. Now isn't a good time, spend more time on your studies and get into that university you always talk about."
As soon as she completed her dialogue, Joon-won's flirty expression immediately changed into a serious one too, and he replied as he saw the script, "So you know about it. I didn't want anyone to know about it, even if it's my best friend. Just try to stay out of this topic Jung-hwa, I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle my studies while still dating him. So don't overly concern yourself about it." Sounding very detached as Joon-won properly got into the heroine role.

The sudden change in his voice and behavior caught Jung-hwa off-guard once again. The girl couldn't take in what was happening to her friend, who she always helped to practice his lines and expression and suddenly seemed like a professional.
But she quickly snapped out of it to see Joon-won with a blank face waiting for her, making her face go slightly red. She coughed and continued, "Don't be like this. Why are you so stubborn? I'm telling this for your own good. Listen to me this one time. If that guy really likes you then he will wait till high school is over. If anyone gets to know about this relationship you guys are having, things can get really messy. You know how our school looks at these types of things." With a complete concern written all over her face as she took a step forward.
Her acting slightly surprised Joon-won, he added a few points in his mind and continued with a relaxed expression, "Oh, Jung-hwa. You're always too concerned about so many things. Don't be so pessimistic about things. Have confidence in me, I know I can study well and get into that university even while dating him. Now about the school knowing? I don't think anyone knows about this except you. So everything will be perfectly fine if you just don't talk about it and do things like this."
"But-"
"No buts, this is final. If you really are my friend, you will support me in this journey instead of going against it like you are now. Now if this conversation is over, let's go back to the class, lunch break is almost over too." He cut off and said in a slightly commanding tone before turning around.
Jung-hwa stood there as the scene was finally over, not understanding how good Joon-won was suddenly when she snapped out of her role.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Macabre Mim
*Note: This story is on hiatus. I intend to pick it up again, but the mood of my life has shifted for the time being and I'm going to be working on a side project for a bit.* What would you give to live the life of your dreams? What kind of deal would you make? And when you were there, forced to stare your dreams in the eye and live them every day, how long would it be... before they broke you? Author's note: This is my first excursion outside the realm of villain fan fiction and I welcome feedback. The thing I've loved most about RRL so far is the potential for writing to be an interactive experience with excited readers. That said, also, the primary genre this is intended for is the blossoming realm of LitRPG. Namely, a slice of life tale in the manner of Grimgar or Re:Zero. So, likewise, I don't expect there will ever be a clear beginning-middle-and-end type of pattern to this story. It will likewise always be a bit more of a reactionary, exploratory novel into realms unknown - much like the 1800 travel-novel theme used by Jules Verne. Or, at least, that is my ambition.

An Otherworldly Tale: The Apocalypse/A School Saga
The origin story of The god and The Demon. While technically the third installment I've written, and first that I've ever shared, it is chronologically the first saga. An apocalypse, the school saga. "Do you like limes? I do. Quite a lot. They are the sweetest dessert I can think of. And I love my desserts. As it always has been." Evan said, upon being asked his favorite thing in the world. "The best lime comes from a world destroyed. An apocolyptic world. That is the only place you can find sweet limes. Or, at least, limes as sweet as the one I love so very much." Evan said, upon being asked where to find sweet limes.

Right Hand of God
Ghosts, demons, and all things that go bump in the night crawl the Earth. Rarely, some people are born with the ability to see the supernatural no matter what form it takes to conceal itself, including invisibility. Even more rarely, some people are also born with the ability to exorcise any supernatural entity. This ability always manifests in the right hand and arm, and so in some circles it has come to be called the Right Hand of God. Jacob Davidson, a black seventeen-year-old living in Normal, Ohio, has been secretly fighting and exorcising ghosts all his life using this power. One night, however, a seemingly average job takes an unexpected turn when Jacob meets the sarcastic, suave, and ironically named Agent Mann, a revenant who hunts other supernatural creatures, and has his first encounter with the denizens of Hell itself. Now Jacob and Agent Mann must team up to stop all Hell from literally raising. But with the mysterious power known as the Left Hand of Lucifer also rising in Normal, Ohio, do they have any chance of success?
