《Reel or Real》Chapter 25: Definition of Celebrity
Advertisement
I was having breakfast with Erin when my cell rang, it was my Grandmother Diana who called me to come home and she has already applied for leave on my behalf. Erin urged me to take him also, as he will get bored and I knew he wants help with the maths assignment. Both of us reached in the evening. Erin was very happy to see my baby sister Tiarni which he was not able to pronounce, so he called her Tia.
Diana came from the office earlier than usual, she greeted Erin with a warm hug, and then in complaining tune she started speaking, "Sorry I called of you suddenly. I have been called for a discussion tomorrow which could take a lot of time and I didn't want Tiarni to be alone. "
Erin couldn't hold his curiosity, "Miss Kent can I ask you what kind of discussion."
Diana in humble tune, "Well kids it is a 9 pm news channel live telecast on the definition of a celebrity. Balin and Erin, you must be knowing that a YouTuber showed your mom's old clips from movies and some of the ramp walk.
Balin in shock, "Granny what are you saying. What movie?"
Diana was taken aback by Balin's statement, Tiarni interrupted them, "Bro don't tell me you never saw mom in the song clip from the movie Naadan Dil "
Balin was feeling that he has been pranked before he could say anything Tiarni clicked on youtube and showed us the song in which mom was looking very young. I took the phone and stared for a few minutes when my granny said in a very disappointing way, "Balin no wonder you made such a bet. You didn't know your mommy has done modeling"
I was silent I really didn't know, "But granny. Nevermind"

Diana, "Okay then you will also don't mind that your mom could be disqualified on this basis."
I got anxious, "Then will mom be disqualified from the show."
Diana, "Right now we are not sure."
Diana left in the morning early as today she has to go to the show in the night before that she has to complete l her today's work. We all waited in the night to see the live discussion till then we completed our assignments half-heartedly. I was also irritated by my sister and Joy that I was the only one who didn't know my mom has done work in the film industry.
The live telecast was aired on time at 9 pm, the anchor first introduced all the people who have joined for today's discussion, besides my granny Tom Walter a movie critic, Jack Hammerson movie producer, Julie Spencer movie director, and a guy called Martin who recently won a reality show. The host started asking their opinions about what a celebrity means. Everyone gave their answers in a very diplomatic except for Martin who was definitely trying to catch attention by spouting nonsense and targeting my granny as everyone knows she is related to Sukhwinder and August.
Diana in a very calm manner as far as possible told me that according to her my mom was a former actor and model but she didn't make her a full-time career in the field. Some agreed to her while some felt but still even if somebody is not in fame presently it cannot deny they were a celeb once. The argument went for almost two hrs with a lot of commercial breaks which we utilized in the search for more information regarding the same case in India and other participating countries. The opinion was divided into 50-50% if a former artist is a celeb or not who has just worked on a few projects. The official website is not currently responding regarding this matter they have just given a statement a poll will be conducted soon if my mom will continue or not.

Eusocial
There's a reason people made the word improbable. Just because something would never happen based on common sense or reason, doesn't mean it can't happen. For example, a soul maintaining their memories through the River of the afterlife, a stream of ethereal energies that remove and store memories from the recently departed only to return when they die again. Another example, a soul by it's sheer will maintaining awareness during the process of a new body's development; nearly infintesimile chances of happening, but there is still a chance. Hi, you can call me Esseu (S U) and I managed to do both of those nearly impossible things back to back. My reward for such a feat? I was turned into a glorified bee keeper.

On Astral Tides: From Humble Freelancer To Astral Emperor
What would you do if one day you were told you were one of the chosen who would have to battle to save the world? Akio was an average guy, having moved to the big city from his humble town in the mountains. Sure, his IT freelancing job wasn't making him big money, and he wasn't exactly a hit with the ladies, but life wasn't all that bad... until one day a mysterious angel-like being visited him to tell him the Earth was in danger. Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed? Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him. Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices... Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!). [Note this story is Harem, and since many don't like that, be warned! It's more Sevens than Isekai Smartphone though. There will be some R-15/18 scenes for the Harem (though I have toned down the one posted here from the original drafts more to the R15 side.] The story is pretty much evenly split between progression fantasy and real-world character building and events, hopefully blending together to make a compelling narrative about how someone could change themselves and the people around them for the better if given the chance by some miraculous intervention, while also hopefully saving the world (and maybe other worlds too.] Update schedule revised: Minimum 3/week - Tues/Wed/Thurs but will aim to hit 5/week where possible If you have any questions re: future plot turns/types of things that might happen and want to know so you know whether you'd find it worth your time reading, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll let you know. No story is for everyone, so no worries!
