(Arthur POV)
Watching the number of internet users surge past one million on my office computer screen, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief.
Even though I expected this outcome—thanks to the "free internet connection" promo bundled with newly purchased computers—it was still astonishing to see people outside of Horn Kingdom willingly spend their hard-earned money on a technology they had yet to fully understand.

After wrapping up filming at the Tivoli Theatre, the production shifted back to Village Roadshow Studios for interior scenes. Weeks passed as the crew meticulously shot key moments, preparing for the next stage—moving onto the vast exterior sets that had been painstakingly constructed in Queensland.
The recreated streets, iconic venues, and neon-lit storefronts were finally ready. Trucks, trailers, and SUVs lined the perimeter of the set near A.B. College, creating a buzz in the usua...

With one universal language spoken across the world, the Moonlight Kingdom’s new computer users found it effortless to engage with posts from Horn Kingdom’s netizens on Hellbook.
This accelerated their integration into the online world.
And with that, curiosity turned into demand.
The sales of computers in Moonlight steadily climbed.
On the second day, there was a small but noticeable increase.
By the third day, it rose again.

The Moonlight Kingdom was set to become one of the first countries outside Anatolia to distribute computers, with a major retail company securing exclusive rights to sell them—Birth Retail Corporation.
At the helm of the company was Afer James, an elf who, despite his 110 years of age, still looked no older than 30.
Sitting in his luxurious office, Afer gazed out the window, deep in thought.
He had been anticipating the arrival of the computers, ...

Las Vegas, Memphis, and Tupelo were meticulously recreated on the sets in Queensland, Australia. Baz’s wife personally oversaw the construction, ensuring every detail was historically accurate.
As the sets neared completion, they began drawing attention from locals, especially those near A.B. College in Arundel. The recreated Beale Street was particularly striking—two full blocks of Memphis-style architecture, complete with period storefronts, neon signs, and blues clubs. It was as...

The attendees, bound by the magical contract, could only offer vague statements.
Major newspapers and news outlets that had journalists at the screening could only write:

Baz had anticipated that it would take months for Lucas to fully embody Elvis. He knew the role demanded not just talent but an almost obsessive dedication to detail. Yet, here he was—watching Lucas transform gradually but effortlessly in just a matter of days.
It was beyond impressive.
With Lucas so ahead of schedule, the production team decided to move forward sooner than planned. The entire cast and crew packed up and flew to Australia, where the real work would begin.

As Augustus and his bound prisoner made their way through the village streets, they quickly became the center of attention.
"A kid managed to capture a pirate like that?"
"That guy’s worth 7.8 million beli! Who is this kid?"
"He must be some kind of bounty hunter!"
Augustus ignored the murmurs, focused only on his destination—the marine base up ahead. His grip tightened on the rope as he noticed Vargo slowing down.
"Move it!" He kicked the pirate forward...

Augustus studied the map spread out before him, occasionally glancing at the compass to keep himself on course.
He wasn’t a skilled navigator, but he knew enough to get by.
Gripping the oars, he rowed steadily—only to realize it was too slow.
His eyes flicked toward the sleeping Vargo, and a mischievous smirk curled on his lips.
Without hesitation—
BAM!
"Hey, sleepyhead! Wake up!" Augustus kicked Vargo hard enough to jolt him from his s...

The pirates behind Vargo gritted their teeth, cursing under their breath the moment they saw Augustus standing before them.
"Tch. A brat dares to look at us like that? Does he have a death wish?"
"Oi, kid! Why the hell are you staring at us like that!?"
They were offended—Augustus’ calm, condescending gaze was grating on their nerves.
Vargo was just as pissed.
He had spent hours trying to break free, but nothing had worked. Being chained like this was hu...

Augustus stood there, utterly speechless.
For the first time, he had felt like he belonged somewhere. He had planned to grow with the Silver Hook Pirates, to sail with them for years—especially now that he had awakened his system.
And now…
They were disbanding?
Just like that?
It didn’t feel right.
"Disbanding? Why?" Augustus questioned, his voice urgent, almost desperate. He spoke rapidly, as if trying to talk sense into them.

Lucas immersed himself in studying the religious background that shaped Elvis, diving deep into the heart of Southern Christian faith.
His journey led him to Mississippi, where he sought to experience the spirit of the churches firsthand.
Surprisingly, Tom Hanks decided to tag along. Not for method acting—he was never that kind of actor—but because he wanted to keep an eye on Lucas.
He figured they could rehearse together while he did his own research, listening to ol...

Arthur nodded politely, responding with a simple, "Thank you."
