“Are you done?” Eric is sitting on the makeup chair while his highly paid makeup artist diligently works asks Rachel, who just arrived. Rachel didn't reply, and she sat on the sofa with a satisfied grin on her face."Judging by the expression on your face—I'm guessing you were successful? Well, it looks like the rumors about that guy were true, huh?" Julia chimed in, sharing a sly smirk with Eric. She, too, occupied a makeup chair, undergoing her own transformation at the hands of a skilled artist. "Declan has a soft spot for the ladies."“Haha! It is done. The idiot and ugly guy is frantically running back and forth in the comfort room!” Rachel exclaimed with a wicked grin. “Haha! Ugh! Disgusting!”"Marcus made him coffee, so I made sure that I put the sedative on something that he has to drink. That way, the Director will suspect Marcus, and it will be all according to plan,"Rachel continued, her voice dripping with cunning satisfaction. "Good. Now, everything will go as planned.
"WHAT?!" the Director yelled, taken aback by Marcus' words."What are you saying, Marcus?" The writer yelled in a bewildered tone. “You will do the stunts? You know that a professional must do those scenes, right? You are only a new actor and we wouldn't want you injured.”'Exactly, what is this loser saying? Did his head really get too big that he thinks so highly of himself now? Does he think that action scenes are that easy?' Rachel's thoughts raced, and her incredulous gaze fixed on Marcus."Declan said that I might be able to do it myself," Marcus explained with a determined look in his eyes, "and there is no hurt in trying, Director. I could try it for just one take, and if it doesn't work, then at least we tried."Despite being trapped, Marcus was actually confident in doing it himself. His skill, Hand-to-Hand Combat, had already leveled up to level 15, and what's more, this skill came from Victor Petrov himself, the role that he is playing!Silence hung in the air as the Direc
MARCUS wiped the sweat dripping on his forehead and took a deep breath before glancing around.Bewildered expressions greeted him, and there was a sense of awe among the crew.They all stared at him with bewildered looks.The crew exchanged astonished glances, murmuring among themselves."Is he really a rookie?""Did you see how he looked at the soldier?! It was so terrifying! How can he act like that?""He's like a completely different person. Did we underestimate him?"The actors, who were insulting Marcus just a while ago, were all taken aback."Did he secretly enroll in a military academy or something? How was he able to fight and move like that?"A 'Ding!' once again sounded in Marcus mind, and the translucent screen appeared before him.[Side Mission 'Rise Above' Completed!][Congratulations, you successfully did your own stunts in your first project, "Brothers of Valor" and stole the spotlight! You have shown those jealous schemers what you're made of!][Rewards:][Experience Po
JULIA shook her head slowly. "No, Rachel. I'm just sharing with you the tragic story of the director and because of his tragic past, and he's very protective of the women on his set. He wouldn't want any harm to come to them," Julia said as a playful smirk played on her lips.Rachel's heart began to pound as she started to grasp the meaning of Julia's words."You're saying... if I were to make it seem like Marcus had crossed a line…" Rachel's lips slowly curled into a sinister smile. “...the director would take it very seriously?"Exactly, Rachel. Think about it. You could secure your place in Eric's good graces while eliminating Marcus as a threat.” Julia tapped Rachel's shoulder. “All you need to do is play your cards right,” she added before going inside again, leaving Rachel by herself. Just as Julia entered the room, she saw her brother glaring at the mirror."You haven't relaxed yet?" Julia asked, trying to ease Eric's frustration."How could I? That loser bastard!!" Eric seeth
SOON, comments started flooding in.[nepotism: A soldier? Do you work out? I think we will work out, Sir.]"I will be singing 'Every Bit of Me' by Johnson Legend,” he said. [Greg.: Who is this? A new talent?] [nepotism: strip! no! I don't want your lullaby! I want you to strip and twerk that a$$!][j.d: Welcome to ClickFlow! You look hot with that soldier uniform, so I clicked.) Another one commented. Most of them are girl as they were attracted by Marcus's body.‘Good thing I covered my face. I'm not bad looking, but I'm not bad looking either, but beauty standards these days are harsh. I should invest in my visuals and charm next time if I get experience points,’ Marcus thought.[shhh: Every Bit of Me is my favourite song! My mom loves it too! Even my mute dog sings it!]Marcus cleared his throat before he started."What would I do without your insight?Pulling me close, then pushing me wide.Capturing thoughts that dance in your mind.You are my guide."'Cause every bit of me, ev
Julia was sitting inside her trailer and was being put on makeup by the make up team.She was currently on the Brothers of Valor set and she kept glancing at her phone, unable to shake off the annoyance and restlessness."Why are they not messaging me? I thought they would today! I was kind not to refuse their collaboration because their followers are slightly bigger than mine! Geez, this is freaking annoying!" Julia muttered to herself, frustration evident on her face."And who was that EchoPhantom guy? He suddenly appeared and stole my spot! But, I'm gonna get it back, he will only have that spot for today! But, ugh! So annoying! His voice isn't even that angelic!" Julia yelled, not minding the make up artist looking at her with concern.Other than being an actress, Julia was also a streamer. She was jealous of one of her friends who made millions and was invited to thousands of events because of being a streamer so she stole that idea because being an actress was never enough for J
"Seriously, what is this? Is the mission getting harder, or am I in hard mode?" Marcus muttered to himself, frustration evident in his voice. "The first mission is already difficult as it is, and now what is with the second mission?! And the penalty?!"The thought of facing XP and RP deductions hurts.It's already difficult enough to get RP, but if Marcus fails the mission, his hard-earned RP will be gone."Damsel in Distress?" he repeated, reading the translucent screen. "Damsel... it means that it's a woman. Who could it be? And why do I have to change her fate?"****MARCUS decided to checks something in the Stardom Shop. He might see something that he could use but to his disappointment—there was something but it was too expensive and he didn't have that luxury at the moment.Just when he was about to give up, he finally saw something. "I don't know if there will be a time that I would use this but it's always good to be ready." As Marcus completed the transaction and planned wh
