Chapter 644 - High Fantasy Drama (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Youyue did not realise that her identity in the source world as Princess Olivia was now respected by the enemy’s army for her “patriotism”.
Regardless of the age or civilisation, those who did not bow to their suppressors would be respected by the rest of the human race. Only a few would defend themselves until their last breaths. Hence, their courage was commendable.
Since Olivia had been left in an unconscious state, Zhao Youyue temporarily left the source world to head back to reality. She had to regain her bearings and make sure that she was from planet Earth, and she was Zhao Youyue, not Olivia.
Nevertheless, Olivia seemed like a good name to call herself. Lady Olivia Zhao. It almost sounded as fun as “Nicolas Zhao Si” [1]. However, Lady Zhao was a traditional Chinese Lady who defended the National Culture. After all, the Zhao Family was known for its patriotism. They were the only family who had the right to betray its country, since they had built this country right from the bottom.
When Lady Zhao went back to reality, she realized that the “Two Dimensional Gate” had recorded everything in the source world, like the paranormal world. Now it had even taken the liberty to convert the history into a fantastical drama. [2]
She could upload the video on a computer to play it, or upload it onto the internet. If It picked up, she could gather the energy and recharge the “Two Dimensional Gate.” It was not something could be explained with science.
When Zhao Youyue uploaded her paranormal exploits onto the internet, fans of horror novels had praised and promoted the video. The reactions of the actors had been so authentic and real that their screams of terror went right into the bone…
However, horror novels were not exactly mainstream. Even the storylines were short and straightforward. The only attractive part of their movie was the special effects and blood. Past that, they lacked the impact.
Some people could not forget about these films, such as an author who was know for his horror novel. He was still disturbed by the fact that his dream had been turned into a film and uploaded onto the internet.
No matter how he tried to make logic out of it, he would never fathom the possibility of the “Two Dimensional Gate” existing.
Compared to that paranormal video, Zhao Youyue played a central role as Olivia. If uploaded to the internet, it would most definitely become viral. Its quality would be no lesser than that of “Game of Thrones.”[3]
So, what should she call this series? She might not be the protagonist in the source world, but she damn well may be. After all, she was the one controlling the game system!
Should she try something like “Live Broadcast of the Empress,” [4] or perhaps something like “The Path of an Empress,” or simply “Olivia”?
Zhao Youyue could not make up her mind. This time, she would not have to worry about investigations being carried out on the ‘actors.’ None of them existed in this world.
Most of the scenes could be passed off as highly advanced computer-generated graphics.
The source world itself existed in an epic fantasy game which was engineered to be displayed in high-definition quality. It was nothing like the paranormal world which came from some “movie.”
That paranormal world was the birthplace of many horror films. Chu Renmei was a ghost from the movie “A Wicked Ghost,” the mere thought of which could rob people of their sleep. [5]
That was the only way to prove that Chu Renmei was more than qualified to exist in that world.
A great author must first venture deep into a source world. Only then could they write remarkable stories.
Source worlds and iconic novels existed symbiotically. It was the birthplace where authors received inspiration for their novels, or one could argue that was merely a plane where authors’ subconscious gathered, their similar wavelengths working together to create entire worlds.
The question then, what came first – the source worlds, or the iconic novels?
