《The Journey Towards Stardom》Chapter 16 - Looks for free
Advertisement
Voting ends at 12 AM so the pictures were uploaded on the website at 5 pm, giving the netizens enough time to vote for their favorites.
On their way back to the villa, Faer kept feeling a gaze filled with ill intent boring into his back. Turning his head around, he saw William with a smirk on his face as he met Faer’s eyes.
The viewers weren’t professionals, but their opinions were indispensable. To receive their votes, you had to have an excellent appearance, have an agreeable personality and take good pictures. Faer's pictures were the worst of the lot but with his exceptional looks he ended up being the one not eliminated.
When the episode aired, at first the viewers swooned at his handsomeness but as the show progressed they couldn’t help but frown. This hottie sure knew how to live leisurely, look at him sleeping for the whole time, Ah, what a waste of good looks. If the pictures were uploaded after the episode aired, surely Faer would have been eliminated.
Back at the villa, Faer felt like he had a dark rain cloud hovering over his head. With his mind now clear, he noticed that his condition before was strange so he thought hard and long about what was the cause of the problem. On his way to relieve himself in the bathroom, he heard a conversation between William and another person. Due to his cheat stats, Faer had exceptional hearing.
“How much did you give him? He was supposed to be passed out for the entirety of the shoot, and then automatically eliminated for not being able to take photos.” William was really upset that Faer somehow avoided elimination.
Staying out of sight, Faer continued to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“I crushed a bunch of the pills and mixed it into the porridge. He should have been knocked out based on the dosage so I’m just as clueless as you are.” The voice that responded was very familiar to Faer.

So that’s what happened! Faer sneered as he finally figured out the reason he was so sluggish. If it weren’t for his cheat, he would have been down for the count.
'Want to scheme against me? You’re 100 years too early.'
Faer’s new personality, though dispassionate, was also very cunning. His days of being pushed around were long over.
Alone in his room, Faer looked at himself in the floor length mirror. Pushing the hair out of his face, he turned his head from side to side, examining his features. The white milky skin that should have given him sickly pallor, glowed with healthiness; the large watery eyes with their different colors emitted an ethereal radiance. Faer’s self-esteem still had a long way to go, but he was now able to evaluate himself objectively. The fact that he was now a model and a contestant in a modeling competition, he could glean that his looks weren’t as bad as he had thought. Right now, he could appreciate that his eyes were his most outstanding feature and he would use them to his advantage.
Though having good looks were important in this industry, you also had to have a personality that resonated with other people if you wanted to get far. With looks like his that were slightly feminine and gave people an otherworldly feel, he decided that instead of looking seductive like everyone else, being pure and cute would benefit him more this time around. The shrewd light behind his eyes disappeared, and what could now be seen in the mirror was a naïve and lovable person who could shake the hearts of many.
The cameraman could only shake his head as it was now the third night but this guy did the same thing every night. He’d shower then go to sleep, not even socializing with the other contestants. With nothing of interest here, the cameraman went to the pool where the other models congregated, he’d have lots of footage here.

Under his blanket, Faer called out to God in his head but he got no response. What he did get, however, was a familiar blue screen.
Top Three
Mission: God gave you such looks for free, to not be a disgrace, get in the top three.
Reward: Random skill/item
Failure to complete the mission will result in the loss of a Talent.
The appearance of the mission caught him off guard but then he smiled as he had already decided to be in the top three. This only made it more challenging, so Faer was perfectly fine with it.
Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind and comfortably laying on his stomach, Faer fell asleep.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!

The Shattered Circle
Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain the bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events that threatens to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies.
