The president of Waves Corporation's Anatolia region, Alfred Gold, a demon from Thorn Kingdom, sat across from me in my office.
"Your channel launched a few days ago, and our Horn Kingdom sales have seen a slight increase. Though we can't definitively link it to your channel's commercial breaks," Alfred said, settling comfortably in his chair. "As president of Waves Anatolia, I'm uncertain about payment calculations. We have no way to determine viewer numbers."

Following the HOLLOW-Waves announcement, color TVs and VHS players hit Horn Kingdom markets on December 10, 1272.
Waves Corporation took a hands-off approach to marketing, letting HOLLOW handle the promotional campaign.
HOLLOW focused primarily on television sales, knowing VHS players would naturally follow - after all, the players were useless without TVs to connect them to.
Across Horn Kingdom, posters appeared showing happy families gathered aro...

After several days of work, Lucas and Christopher finally completed the final mix of "Heaven." As they gave it one last listen, Christopher rubbed his shoulder, shaking his head in amazement.
"Damn, I got chills," he said. "If I hadn't made this song with you, I would've thought Michael Jackson sang it."
Lucas smiled. "That's good. We might get some MJ fans to like the song."
"I don't know, but I'm sure they won't dislike it," Christopher replied thoughtfully.

Days after Caleb's unconscious confession, the verdict arrived - guilty. He faced heavy fines for assault and several months of imprisonment.
The news sent shockwaves through Horn Kingdom and neighboring realms where Caleb had held influence.
Meanwhile, Clint, Benny, and their supporters celebrated justice being served.
Arthur hosted a victory celebration for his actors - the atmosphere electric with relief and joy. Clint and Benny lost themselves ...

Weeks have passed without a trace of that damn noble demon.
It's been nothing but headaches - my men have investigated every shady connection around my son, Caleb, with no results to show for it.
Even the drug trafficker involved with my son confirmed he hadn't ordered any hit on Caleb over unpaid narcotics.
"Commissioner." A police officer entered my office clutching documents.
"Any progress with my son's case? Has Arthur agreed to settle...

Walking down the street with their masks on, Lucas and Christopher drew curious glances from passersby. They must have looked quite the pair - one in a plain white mask, the other in a marshmallow helmet.
They eventually arrived at a small, humble studio Lucas had rented. Christopher looked around the compact space, taking in the modest setup.
"This is where we record our music?" Christopher asked, eyeing the cramped quarters.
Lucas smiled beneath his mask. "Yeah..." He g...

The next day, Arthur visited to inspect the computer team's color TV project.
Just a week ago, Arthur had reverse-engineered the color TV himself, providing the blueprints and design specifications to the computer group for recreation.
They'd completed it today. Arthur examined the color television carefully.
The computer team felt a mix of pride and humility. After all, Arthur was the mastermind behind the color TV - they'd simply brought his visi...

Vivienne noticed the dynamic between Arthur and Firfel. She felt something she couldn't quite understand, but it was clearly... jealousy.
Vivienne sat beside Firfel and chatted with her until Arthur returned with her tea.
"So, what's this venture you're talking about?" Vivienne asked Arthur.
Arthur sighed. He'd initially planned to invite only Firfel to join his "anime venture" - believing she'd make a good voice actor for testing their completed a...

The opportunity to join the rising "Hellfire Studio" was too tempting to ignore. Many directors rushed to submit their applications.
Despite many filmmakers' hatred for Arthur Morningstar reshaping the industry, they couldn't deny the massive impact he'd made in such a short time.
Among the applicants was Amon Oblivion - once a famous director in the Morningstar Kingdom, until he faded into irrelevance following Arthur's meteoric rise.

After dealing with the thugs, I made my way to our secret warehouse. The team's eyes widened as I presented the stack of papers containing the operating system code I'd acquired from the Dragon Ball world.

Underestimating the old man was a grave miscalculation.
As I faced Master Roshi, the folly of my attempted trickery became painfully apparent. If not for my wings, I'd have been eliminated. Though, even if I had been, I could always resort to the "Load" option, reverting to my save file from an hour ago, before the fight.
The possibility of losing this fight loomed large in my mind. Roshi, after all, was a master with decades of experience, having invented ma...

The manager beamed. "An excellent choice, Ms. Lawrence."

The arena buzzed with anticipation, spectators packed tightly around its perimeter. Bulma, Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong had secured prime spots in the front row.
The first match pitted Jackie Chun against Bacterian.
Jackie Chun pinched his nose, his face contorted in disgust. "Big guy, when was the last time you washed? You reek!"
Bacterian's only response was a guttural laugh, his yellowed teeth visible even to the audience. A cloud of flies hovered a...

It's mind-blowing how fast "Demonfather 2" accumulated 180 million dollars in just four days!
Fuck, it even surpassed the box office of commercial films from my previous life!
And that's with tickets selling for 2 dollars here, compared to 12 or so in my old world. Surpassing 100 million in four days was rare even there.
I guess it makes sense - people here have limited entertainment options. Films, radio, music, and newspapers are their main pastimes....

Anubis, Leviathan, Anus, and the other mobsters who'd witnessed the production found themselves in a complex emotional state. They'd become too invested, and Michael's arc left them conflicted.
The order to kill his brother Fredo hit hard. The mobsters didn't want to accept it, yet their line of work made Michael's decision grimly understandable. Fredo'...
