Superstar Simulator
Episode 1's
Spring and dusk arrived quickly.
A dark blue night sky covered the roof of the dormitory, and the twilight wind rumbled out a heart-wrenching sound.
This is not a description, but a real cry.
"Hu.. hu.. hu... what kind of life is this..this eyebrow, damn it.. These eyes, damn it.. This mouth, damn it, this face, this body... goddamnit!"
Arthur Lewis sat on the roof railing, staring at a selfie on his cell phone screen, feeling hopeless.
Clear tears trickled down Arthur's round face and carried despair in his heart.
This body does not belong to Arthur Lewis. Half an hour ago, as an idol trainee of the Indonesian entertainment industry's S-tier, Arthur was on his way to a talent show.
However, after a sudden brake and a violent collision, Arthur Lewis loses consciousness with intense pain.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on the roof of the Bandung Institute's son's dormitory and in a different body, which was also named Arthur Lewis.
The reason he was sitting on the roof so late at night was because he had just broken up.
Of course, the previous owner thought he had broken up. After integrating the memories of the previous owner, Arthur Lewis realizes that it wasn't really a breakup; it was love clapping one hand, and he's rejected by the other party.
This is what happened: a month ago, the previous owner met a forgetful student in the school cafeteria. She was impressed by her posture and appearance, so she paid for her food and gathered the courage to ask for her contact. However, at that moment she did not bring her phone, so she gave her number only.
That night, he added it to his phone.
Then the two communicate through text messages, talk about life and ideals, and play endless battle games together. During that time, the girl often said that she was hungry or thirsty, asking the original owner to buy her bubble tea and small meals. Within a month, the original owner spent almost a hundred thousand rupiahs just for these items.
Several times during this approach, the original owner gathered the courage to invite the girl out but was rejected for various reasons - until this afternoon.
A drama crew wanted to recruit a extortion, so they contacted the school to open a registration of interns in the studio.
At the registration booth, coincidentally the original owner met the girl. However, when faced with her enthusiastic greeting, the girl looks confused and must be reminded who she is by showing their chat history for the past month. Then he awkwardly reveals a reality that breaks the original owner's heart: after getting her contact information, the girl immediately sells it to others under the pretext of being able to use it like an ATM because of "he's stupid and has money". Based on the transaction records, the person turned out to be a man.
Facing angry accusations from the original owner, the girl became defensive, even insulting herself with the words, "Who do you think you are, after me?"
That sentence made the original owner very desperate, and went up to the roof...
...
Arthur Lewis felt a deep sense of sadness in this situation. Through the search for the memories of his original owner, he had understood in advance about this world; in addition to the stark differences in the artwork, he had, it was basically no different from Earth - it was still a world that judged people by its appearance. Before this unfortunate event, Arthur Lewis was the most promising aspiring idol in the entertainment company.
With her attractive looks and good talent, almost everyone in the company believes that once she debuts, she will soon become the most popular pop idol.
However, now...
If he had not died, knowing what it was like to die was so uncomfortable, Arthur Lewis would have wanted to jump straight down..
To be honest, the appearance of this body right now was not too ugly.
It's just ordinary.
There was not even a hint of recognition, and even after Arthur Lewis saw his selfie for half an hour, he still could not fully remember what it looked like now.
With looks like this, do not expect to be a star, even finding a girlfriend will be difficult!
What should he do in the future?
"Online question: With my looks, do I have a chance to find a girlfriend and become a superstar in this life?"
Since no one followed the original account, this was the first and only post that was uploaded, and no one replied in a long time.
Too cruel.
This world is too cruel for people who have a low look!
…
At the same time, in the girls' dorm building at the school.
"Gossip, gossip! Look at this, the man publicly insulted by a woman at the internship registration this afternoon has posted a video!".
"Is that the fool that Janice Zoey rejected in the foreign language department?"
"Rubber, I just found it while looking for a job around here!"
"Well, that's surprising!"
Hearing the commotion outside her dorm room, a petite girl in cute pajamas in room 413 of the Performing Arts Department rubbed her stomach.
"What's outside, why is it so noisy?"
"I heard a girl scolding a boy from the Foreign Language Department this afternoon at the internship registration office. Huh huh? It doesn't seem right..."
When her friend asked, her roommate who was at the top looked down and saw the hateful face of Sabrina Taylor. Unexpectedly, the roommate asked, "Since when have you cared about gossip at school?"
"I'm hungry and uncomfortable..."
Hearing a question from her friend, Sabrina Taylor pursed her nose.
"Well, that's even more wrong. Have you not chatted with a girlfriend in the game recently? He sends you food on time every day, doesn't he?"
"First of all! She's not a boyfriend."
Sabrina Taylor raised her chin and stretched out her smooth and slender index finger. "He supported me for a month when my family stopped providing me with financial support. He's my life's support! Second one... I don't know why, but that guy blocked me in all contact, both inside and outside the game."
While saying so, he let out a sad breath.
"Why did the girl curse the man?"
"I heard that the man asked for contact information from the girl, but the girl felt she was ugly, so she sold her contact information online. Over the next month, the boy would drop off food and buy bubble tea for him. And as it turns out, one of our schoolmates took a picture of her and posted her photo on a thrift platform. Believe no? ...Huh uh? Why don't you talk?"
After speaking at length, the roommate from above did not hear Sabrina Taylor's voice and could not bear to not look down.
He saw Sabrina Taylor curled up in the bottom bed, with her little legs intertwined and agitated.
His eyes were devoid of spirit as he whispered to himself, "Death to me, die to me, die to me, die to me, die to me, die to me..."
It is difficult to explain ...
"Quick, here look! Janice Zoey hit back with her group on the guy's short video account!"
Hearing another scream from the hallway, the roommate with the top bed held onto his phone and lay back, engrossed in watching.
