Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 45

"Honestly, I didn't expect a good performance from you. I mean, when you first entered the stage, instead of being in your role from the get-go, your eyes were darting around the crowd while looking down a lot. Signs of an amateur and it was easy to figure it out. Of Course, this changed as the drama continued but there were signs of it until the middle of the drama where you were more natural." He analyzed her skills and performance she put up earlier. Jung-hwa nodded, hearing him as what he said was true.
Joon-won's evaluation of the guy went up a little when he heard that. He was pointing out the common mistakes calmly instead of barking as he did earlier. He was direct with it so that Jung-hwa could work out the problems easily. Most of her problems came with the lack of experience and with more experience her acting becomes more refined.
"Now, I have a good impression of your acting. Like I said before, you need more practice and honing your skills. Earlier I thought of leaving it at that. But now that fate has allowed us to meet once again, I'll give you a better suggestion which might make you a better actor without waiting for a whole year. That is Drama houses." giving her a suggestion. Joon-won expected this answer. This was the same suggestion he gave her earlier this week. She could gain valuable experience and learn more skills from drama houses.
"Arios city does not lack drama houses, and they are found practically everywhere. With your present skills, you might not get accepted into any of the well-established places in the city. So I will recommend your name to one of the moderate or lesser-known houses so that you can start from there. Now it depends on how you will use this chance and get better." he stretched out an olive branch to Jung-hwa who was in need of one.

Jung-hwa was stunned hearing all he had to say, especially his last offer to help. She was still contemplating on whether she should try to act in places like those after hearing what Joon-won had to say and now she was getting an opportunity to learn in those places. Everything felt surreal for her, and she needed a moment to digest everything.
She clenched her hands and asked with a tone full of excitement and nervousness, "Is what you are saying true? Can you really recommend me to a drama house to learn this summer? What do you get out of this?" she was making sure everything is real. Joon-won was slightly surprised by how she asked the last question after all. It was Jung-hwa who is an airhead and didn't think about things or overly thought about things.
This time instead of Do Hwan it was Hea-Jung who did, "What? You think he is going to scam you both?" In an assertive tone.
Her burst made Jung-hwa step back and stutter her reply, "No, no, nothing like that. Don't misunderstand senior."
As soon as she said that, Hea-Jung started laughing while clutching her stomach. She said as she tried to stop her laugh. "Don't be so nervous. Look at you. You look so pale only for a joke. Here, drink some water. Don't be nervous." Seeing her do this made both Do Hwan and the Vice-dean sigh in resignation. They couldn't do anything about this girl who did whatever she wanted. Joon-won on the other hand shook his head and patted Jung-hwa's back, which had a bit of sweat.
Jung-hwa took the water glass Hea-Jung offered and took a quick sip before placing it back on the table. The girl was too timid and scared of the high-class society, and rightfully so. There are many stories about how the people with authority exploit new actors, especially women and so she had to be careful.

"Well, everything is an investment for us producers. Especially young actors like you. If we are right and can nurture you guys into good actors in the future, then we get a lot of credit and other actors would be willing to work with us." Do Hwan was very honest as he shrugged and explained it to us. Everything was business, and what he was doing was investing in the future.
"You see, most of us producers have agency companies where we groom talented actors. Even I have one myself, it's called 'Blast Agency.' So if I think you are worth it after this summer and maybe a year at most, I will be willing to give you a contract and become an actor under our agency. This way you will get more roles easily. My agency right now has a handful of A-listed actors and some good potential." He explained.
"I gave it the name 'Blast Agency'." Hea-Jung proudly said, which was ignored by everyone in the room.
Joon-won knew about agencies. Each of the heavenly kings also had their own agencies. He learned about them the past few days. Many actors try to get into an agency because they could build their career faster and it is also easier to get more roles from an agency. This offer from Do Hwan was not bad for Jung-hwa. She could prove herself and get a contract, which would give her a smooth start for her career.
Jung-hwa was once more shocked to hear the reason and the chance that she might get a chance to sign in with an agency at this early stage in her life. She never thought she will get an opportunity to sign with an agency before this week. Now she got an opportunity to sign with one if she improved and showed her worth.
She bowed a little and said, "Thank you for giving me this offer. I will prove my worth this next year and get you to sign me into your agency." With confidence in her voice. Do Hwan nodded before turning towards Joon-won.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

My Hundredth Life
I was an ordinary guy, living an ordinary life, until it happened. What we came to call the "Reality Break". Monsters started spawning in the streets, Mana flowed through our veins, Skills and Abilities were unlocked, and everyone had a Status Screen. I was living my dream, an RPG apocalypse! Until I died, that is. And woke up in a new world...where I died again. And again. With each death, a new incarnation, a new game world, and new scars upon my soul. Now, at my 99th death, I just wish it would end...but unlike in some of the worlds I have "played" in, this time my wish is not granted. *** Author's Note: This is my first 'serious' attempt at writing a story. I am hoping to turn ths into a series that I can publish to Amazon, but my life is a bit hectic right now, so I can't make any guarantees. However, I have serious reasons for writing at this point in my life, so I will do my best to provide this new twist to the LitRPG genre and keep it up for as long as possible. Thank you, to anyone who reads this. *Also, tags might change depending on how the story goes, there may be mild profanity or mild sexual content, but I have not decided yet.
