《Omni-System User》Chapter 15

The filming set that was once destroyed has made a full recovery and ready to be used once more. The entire repairing process took about an hour and a half after everyone pitched in to help and other staff from the studios around helped out. When it was completed a green screen stood tall in the background while the apartment room was present.
Swiping away the few sweat droplets that formed Lefu looked at the set amazed at how fast the repair and replace job went. With the job done Clare appeared beside him as it was time for them to change and prepared for the scene. In this scene, the two of them are shown living inside a modern apartment after escaping their sealed prison 200 years later.
Now Lefu who the male vampire uninterested in life has to pretend to kill the old couple that lives in the apartment draining both dry of their blood. The scene is straightforward as he just appears and holds out his hands acting like he draining their blood from across the room while a blood ball forms between them. As for why it formed into a ball instead of biting them is because the biting the victim could lead them turning into ghouls.
When Lefu heard Director Keegan say they were shooting this scene he was excited since he spent an hour practicing it. It might sound like a simple thing to accomplish but the scene relies on him, and the pair in the shot to use their body language or the scene will fail. Focusing all his attention Lefu hype himself up for the scene as he didn’t wish to cause any more problems with his presence then he already has.
“Ok, take your place, and Lefu relax as you will do fine,” Director Keegan shouted as he didn’t like using the microphone when he didn’t need to. Even when many complained saying that it would be nicer if he would use it but why would he change the way he likes doing it. Now nearly everyone is used to him yelling something outside firing or yelling at an actor who breaks down.
“Action!”
The signal was given, and Lefu acted like he was kicking the door, but on the other side, a pully system controlled by a remote was placed swing the door open like it was kicked by a vampire and not a human. Appearing behind him Clare seemed cold as she peered into the apartment as Lefu entered. Coming out of the bedroom door an old couple looking to be around eighty or so appeared. The actors playing, they two are actually much younger around thirty or so.
Now raising his arm Lefu’s hand slowly acted like he was slowly gripping something while the pair stumbled and fell to the ground slowly while their eyes shout ‘Why me’ before laying entirely still. After standing like he just drained their blood Lefu acted like he pulled something toward himself and let out a satisfying breath.

“It seems the mortal's blood declined in the last two hundred years. That tasted worst than a prince born from incest,” Lefu said in an unpleased tone. Scanning over the old couple Clare entered the scene and pretended to glance around the apartment with a slight nod. When she finished acting like she scans the condo, she faces Lefu and bent her finger leading into the bedroom.
After the door closed for few moments, Director Keegan shouted cut allowing the pair on the ground to get up and Lefu and Clare out of the room. Stepping off the set Camilla appeared near them smiling at how well they did the scene and yesterdays practice paid off. She was more amazed at Lefu performance as it not easy doing it the way he did in front of the camera even for actors who have years of experience. If Camilla had to describe it, it would be like he actually had the power which the special effect teams are adding later.
“That was perfect if I had to say and Lefu seemed to capture it perfectly,” the producer stated as he closed in on them. When he came into range for them, he reached out his hand shaking both Clare and Lefu hands. He was about five feet making him nearly foot shorter than Lefu and seemed fond of training as his muscles were stretching his shirt.
When Lefu grips the man hand, he was surprised by the amount of heat coming off him yet he didn’t look to be hot. It was warm enough to make Lefu think the man was sick but he seemed perfectly healthy and in peak form. Lowering his hand Lefu decided not to pursue the matter as it not his place to pry.
“Guys, this is Edward and he been working as a producer for nearly twenty years,” Camilla introduced him.
‘Twenty years but he looks so young,’ Lefu shouted inside his mind as the man in front of him looked in his late twenties at most. Grabbing ahold of himself, Lefu smiled as he wore his poker face to hide his surprise.
“Surprised, I’m actually turning 50 in few weeks if your wondering,” Edward pointed out pointing out to Lefu time does treat some well. Unable to hide his shock Lefu threw himself into character making it seem he lost interest. Laughing at Lefu attempt to hide it Edward didn’t take it to heart as he enjoys other reaction when they learn his age.
“Anyways, I have a reason for talking to you and Clare here currently,” Edward put on a serious look while saying that. Pulling out a few sheets of paper he led them over to the table which was a prop and sat them down.
“Yesterday, we release a clip of what we filmed, and the feedback went well. So it has been decided that if the episode is well received, we would like to invite you back for a couple more episodes. Now we need to know if you two were interested in coming back in future episodes and season finales?” Edward asked directly explaining why he was speaking with them.

Both of them were silent for a few moments as they thought about what he just said. Inside Lefu thought, he was thinking about continuing, but without Clare, it wouldn’t be the same. Taking a few more seconds to think Lefu turned to Clare who sat next to him.
“What do you think?”
“I would rather wait until we finished this before deciding. Also, we need to locate the person who sent the Demon Spider,” Clare whispered back. Processing the information Lefu fell into the same thinking as her as it was valid thought.
“Can we hold off until after we're done filming this episode?” Clare directly asked.
Edward who listening to their whispers as his ears were sharp, smiled as he stared at the pair. He was warned in advance that Clare didn’t have a positive feeling towards the entertainment business from the previous run-in with them. But his opinion about Lefu increased as many would jump at the chance as it was a way to become famous fast.
“How about I give you a week after filming finishes to decide. Now that taken care of let move onto the next step which is sorting out your payment. Since the two of you aren’t connected with any business connected to the entertainment industry, we could pay below any newcomers. But instead, we decided to pay little more and give you both $25,000…” Edward drone on explaining the payment and the reason behind it for nearly five minutes.
When he finished, Edward just had them fill in few pieces of papers which told them where to route the money. When he collected all the information from them, he left them alone and went to check on how others were doing. After he made his round, he stepped out for a moment and pulled out a burner phone and dialed.
Picking up on the other side a deep voice traveled through the phone. “Hello, Mr. Buck what is the problem?”
“I asked for you to remove Clare and Lefu but why did they show up today?” The calm and friendly man he presented himself a few seconds disappeared has been replaced with a furious expression. The outward persona was fake so when he removes someone he, not a primary suspect. As for wanting to remove Clare and Lefu comes from him hating how rich brats use their family power to get whatever they want.
After a few seconds, the voice appeared again, “The contract will be completed by the end of the day, yesterday there was a conflict between organization as there two orders to kill Lefu Delano-“
“I don’t care of there was a conflict between you guys I wanted the job done yesterday!” Edward shouted into his phone interrupting the man. After a few seconds of heavy breathing on the other side, the phone suddenly cut off, assuming that the job will be complete Edward transform back into his persona.

His father got tired of him destroying everything in the house, so he had few servants install the bag late last night. As the reason he's was angry was because he received a call that the hot contract he put out was removed. Then this morning the servant he sent out to spy and gather Clare whereabouts saw her and Camilla leaving with Lefu’s apartment early this morning.
From the time he received the message from his, it was nearly seven, and his servant didn’t know when they entered, so he assumed they were there most of the night. Ted began picturing what could happen between Clare and Lefu spiking his anger even higher.
“How dare he get close to Clare, she is mine and only mine,” Ted mumbled as he continues to bash the bag repletely unaware he fractured most of his bone in his hand. After punching a few more times, did he notices his skin torn open and his blood was on the punching bag.
Calming his anger, Ted suddenly felt pain from his hand realizing he injured and screamed as he can’t handle pain. He has been pampered so much that he barely does anything in gym class yet receives an A as he paid off the teacher and the school. Now facing his own blood, he nearly fainted, since he viewed himself as perfect and a king where his blood is gold.
Outside the door, a servant rushed in to find out what happens only to see Ted standing there in a daze. When the servant's eyes landed on the young master hand, he understood and ran to grab the first aid kit. He quickly cleaned and wrapped his hand while he called one of the guards to ready the car as they’re going to the hospital.

On the street, Matt was jogging with his current karate class that filled with children. Since it was a beautiful day, he decided it would be better to take them to the park when he gains permission from their parents. He suddenly felt something dangerous heading in Lefu direction but since he believed in his son the thought of going to help was tossed to the back of his thoughts.
“I hope you can handle it or has all our training gone to waste,” He muttered as he followed the children to the park.

Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
