Marcus felt his phone vibrate and saw the notification pop up on his screen but when he was about to reach for his phone a translucent screen appeared.[Mission Accomplished!][Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed your mission: "Mission 2: Change the Fate of Someone Who Will Appear In Front of the Host."][You have altered the destiny of the character, Christina Morgan. Your actions have shaped their fate!][You have earned:][Experience Points (XP): + 5000][ Reputation Points (RP): +5000][Insight into Future Events: 1 use only]Marcus' eyes widened! "5000?!" he yelled and there was a knock on his wall that made him jump. It was his neighbor. "Shit! I forgot the walls are very thin! B-But 5000 Reputation Points? W-Wow!" Marcus exclaimed, whispering very quietly."The system explained that 10 Reputation Points is a dollar and I currently have 5730 RP. So, I have 573 dollars—Oh! That is not a lot. Did I overreact?"Marcus' expression changed immediately. He has $500
Marcus was sitting quietly, avoiding the woman’s eyes by looking around the room.The walls were adorned with artwork that matched the aesthetic of the house, and it was obvious that they were all very expensive.His gaze fell upon a series of framed pictures arranged on a side table.Among them were photos of Christina through the years. Marcus could easily identify her because Christina started her acting career very young and acted in big films that made her win big awards.Suddenly, the door opened, and presumably, the master of the house, a man in his 50s with a commanding presence, entered the room, his eyes narrowing as he examined Marcus."You are Marcus Thornwood?" the man questioned, his voice stern and demanding."Yes, sir. I'm Marcus Thornwood," Marcus replied respectfully.The man nodded as he sat in front of Marcus, and the woman walked to sit beside his husband."Janet, get us something to eat and drink," the man commanded the old maid, which the old maid quickly acknow

[MoonlightMelodies: I'm still processing the emotions from that performance. Can we have an encore, please?][HarmonyHarbor: Amelia and EchoPhantom just set a new standard for collaborations! Goosebumps all the way!]As the virtual applause and cheers from the audience continued, Amelia and Marcus bowed to the camera and to the people in the crowd expressing their gratitude for the overwhelming support.Julia, on the other hand, watched the performance in disbelief and her anger simmered, until it finally boiled over.She gritted her teeth and clench her brand-new phone.She had had enough. In her fury, she threw items around her room, the noise audible to anyone still watching."Ahhh!" she shouted and threw some more. "No! They are getting more popular than me! This can't be happening! They have reached one million views!"Julia yelled, pulling her hair in frustration.She has only felt this much anger when Marcus always does something they don't like but now someone else was infuri
'What is he doing?' Julia didn't know what to do. 'Shit, I'm gonna be cut from the scene again! Is he retrying the scene where I said, 'What do you mean, Colonel?' Or the scene where I point a gun at him? Shit! Which scene is he trying to do?!'"I killed enemies. Who I killed are the enemies of my country! Murphy, Finley, Koa—I killed them. With this rifle," Marcus muttered, his voice trembling.His eyes held an empty, distant gaze, as if he had become lost in a web of deception, unable to distinguish between his true identity and the illusion he had woven for so long.Julia sighed in relief hearing Marcus. 'Thank God, he didn't change the dialogue,' she thought back in her mind.Julia acted shocked, and Eric's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-What do you mean, Colonel? What do you fucking mean?" Megan yelled.Eric, as if realizing something, his eyes widened. "Y-You killed William?!" William was Alexie's friend.But Victor just raised an eyebrow and then massaged his head. "W-William

Eliza's eyes widened. "F-Fired? B-But, Melinda, this is my father's —""Shut up! This is mine now! You can't even afford to manage the store. What do you mean this is your father's, huh? You are practically indebted to me, you bitch! So shut your mouth and go where you belong!""B-But I—""You're so hard headed now huh?" Melinda glared with a grin at Eliza and raised her hand to slap Eliza.She has always hated this beautiful face and slapping her brings her relief.But before Melinda's hand could land on Eliza's face, a strong grip restrained her. The sudden intervention caught Melinda off guard, freezing her in place.Eliza was also taken aback by Marcus' action. As he grips Melinda in front of her, she can't help but look at the biceps on Marcus' arm and blush.She had only seen this scene from romantic movies where the male lead was protecting her woman. Melinda, on the other hand, struggled in Marcus's grip, as she glared at Marcus."You! Ugh—"Unable to speak, Marcus tightened
