Versatile Superstar: Rise In Hollywood Chapter 367

Published at 26th of January 2023 09:54:51 AM

On the screen, the man with the gun took a deep breath and muttered something to himself. Then, he jumped out of the grass and shot a few bullets straight at the dragon's face. 

Blood spilled out as the dragon screeched and looked at the man. 

Then, he breathed out fire straight at him as the man dodged. He shot more bullets towards him while trying to keep a distance from him. 

All the people in the audience looked at the screen with wide eyes and a lot of interest. It was because the fight with the dragon wasn't a cut scene but a real gameplay video. 

It was happening in real time with someone controlling the character. 

"Damn, the graphics are next level!"

"Yeah, you can always expect great graphics from Cory Daniel's game but this is next level."

"He really upped his game by a lot."

"That dragon is small but he looks majestic. But what are guns doing in what looks like a medieval fantasy world?"

They whispered among themselves and kept watching. On the screen, the dragon suddenly jumped on the man and chewed on his gun. Sparks flew out as the man tried to escape and shoot the dragon in his face. 

But it was to no avail. 

With a crunching sound, the gun broke. The man looked in horror but repeated a few words as he jumped away from the claws of the dragon. 

"Don't give strength to your panic. Use it. Control it. Let it help you."

He said and muttered a few strange words and in the next moment, a sword appeared in his hands, leaving behind particles of blue light. 

Then, he jumped straight at the dragon, battling with him. His eyes kept to his claws and the tail that seemed to be ready to attack at him at any moment. 

The battle went on like that and the man was ready to jump off at the dragon and aim at his neck. But the ground suddenly trembled. 

The man lost his balance and the dragon looked up, sensing something. Something powerful. Something that wasn't good. 

Clouds suddenly appeared. Lightning crackled right after in the sky. It felt like the sky was about to wall. 

The atmosphere has changed in a second. 

In the next moment, a hammer struck the dragon in his face. Blood splashed around as he plummeted to the ground. 

His head was smashed and a small hole was made due to the impact. The man looked at the hammer and the dragon who wasn't moving with wide eyes. 

The dragon was dead and as if to confirm it, the dragon's body turned into particles right away. A few rewards appeared as usual and the man didn't move to pick them up. 

His eyes stayed on the hammer. 

He recognised it. He had read about it. He had seen movies about it. 

The man started to run away from it realising how much power it contained. He had no mood of dying in the hands of a hammer. No matter how mystical it is. 

Suddenly, as he was running away, the ground again trembled. 

He lost his balance again and fell down. Turning his head, he saw that the hammer was twitching a bit. Its master was calling for it. 

The hammer suddenly moved towards the man at a rapid speed. The man closed his eyes, thinking that this was it for him. 

But he only felt a gust of wind.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the hammer fly above him and a man appeared. He was flying with lightning all around him and his whole face was covered by a brown beard. To finish the look, his hair was long and the same colour as his beard. 

As soon as that happened, the live chat in the stream went wild. 

[My Pinky is Kinky: What the heck?? Is that what I'm thinking it is?]

[First female action star: Knowing Cory and being a fan of his work since I was a kid, I could say that the man is a great storyteller but I still don't understand what is this game. The graphics are gorgeous but guns and dragons don't make sense. Now this, this is very wild!]

[The Viral Leaker: I'm extremely sure this is either going to be the game of the year when it releases or the biggest flop in gaming industry. And I'm all for it.]

Hundreds of comments came up every second as the demo kept going on. 

"Thor."

The man muttered as he tried to hide. He wondered what he was doing here. This wasn't Norway, the place where he had apparently settled. 

In the next second, he got his answer as a loud shout appeared. 

"Thor, don't run away from my wrath!"

The man saw a warrior that looked akin to a Spartan appeared with a long, broadsword in his hands. His look was similar to the look of an actor from a movie about Greek warriors. 

Smiling at Thor, the Spartan warrior rushed at him. 

'Ares - The God of War and Courage from Greek mythology. He and Thor are fighting it out.'

He didn't know why two of the most powerful gods of major pantheons were fighting each other but both of them have a reputation of being crazies that are always looking for someone worthy to fight. 

Once, Thor wiped out an entire town because he had not gotten good alcohol from it. He was a maniac. A godly maniac. 

As both Ares and Thor fought it out, the man kept looking before eventually they both left to destroy some other place. The dragon was just an unknown casualty in their fight and the man was able to benefit from it. 

"It seems like gods could also be useful to us normal humans once in a while. Until they kill us mistakenly that is."

The man muttered and picked up the rewards left up by the dragon. 

He then sighed and turned around. Two gods were fighting in the distance behind him. Two gods from different pantheons, not caring about the human life around them. 

It was still not the first time. He had seen it happen a lot. 

As the man left the forest and made his way to his home, the camera moved upwards and the title of the game appeared. 

, a game where gods have came down on earth. From Thor to Zeus, the scale of this game is massive and it's filled with cutting edge graphics. How's that for a reveal?"

John Knightley, the host, said and another cheer went up. It was also going crazy in the live chat. 

Most people have liked the reveal and just the theme of different gods of different pantheons fighting against each other was enough to make them intrigued. The track record and the name of Cory Daniels was also a major factor in building up the excitement. 

With the demo and game announcement being recieved so well, Aiden went off the stage, feeling very excited about it. 

He walked up to the backstage and congratulated Cory about it who had already opened up a bottle of a champagne he had brought. 

He talked with him and his team for a while before joining Uncle Sam and Wade on their seats. 

Uncle Sam was extremely excited seeing him and he couldn't help but ask him different questions about the game. 

"Aiden, I never thought you were a part of something like this. That looked so good. Can we really fight Thor and Ares in it? What's the story of it?"

His questions were really like an excited child. Aiden just shook his head without giving him the answer of any of them. 

"Uncle, why don't you wait until the game is out?"

"I don't think it will be out in the next 3 years. This looks like it would be in development for a long time."

"I think it will come out in 2 years according to what I know."

Aiden said. Cory and his team were veterans who knew how to make a game rapidly. Though, they wanted to take time to polish it too. So, it might be delayed once. 

"That's still a long time. Can't you tell me the story right now?" Uncle Sam asked again. He knew that Aiden was writing it and he was sure that the plot would be great. 

"I can but you need to do one thing for me?"

"What?" Uncle Sam raised his eyebrow. 

"Be a part of the game."
