After years of struggling to make it as an actor, Daniel Shephard is finally about to make it big. He's landed the lead in a superhero movie. He's about to be Captain Universe with the whole world.

That is, if he can make it to his agent in time to sign the contract.

Which is easier said than done, as Daniel wakes up, only a few days before the need to sign the contract, in a locked room with no escape. He doesn't know who's abducted him or why. The only clue he has is the manuscript pushed in under the door. A script so terribly bad, it physically pains him to read it.

Now Daniel is forced to act out the script--while wearing increasingly ludicrous costumes--and deliver a performance of a lifetime, to appease the manic author who has him trapped, before he loses his spot in the limelight.

***

This is an ONC story, using prompt #6:

Walking down the street, a stranger approaches you. He/she stares intently into your eyes for a moment and then says, "I know what you need to do."

***
"If you liked Misery but didn't like the maiming, drug abuse, peril, or murder then you'll love this!!!"

(Book 1) Synopsis Audrey woke up and found that she had transmigrated into a book. As a mediocre actress, Audrey was satisfied with her income. Even though her parents favored boys over girls, at least she could support herself. Just when she had finally saved up some money and hadn't had a chance to enjoy it, she ended up in a different world?! She didn't know if it was God's mercy or compensation, but Audrey's role in the book was a wealthy heiress. In the book, her birth mother arranged for Audrey to be married into a wealthy family, and she had to compete with her other siblings for the family inheritance. The tragic outcome was predictable. Confused by the original character's actions, Audrey decided to lay low and become a wealthy but useless person. One day, Audrey's family members noticed that she had changed. Strangely enough, they could read her thoughts on her face. Even her second brother, who had always treated her like air, could see her sarcastic comments about him. [What's with that outfit today? Does he really think he looks good?] And when he was about to give up his directing career and return to the company, he could see the words on Audrey's face. [Why fight for power?

The eldest sister, who had always ignored the subtitles on Audrey's face, finally noticed them one day. [Is she being foolish? Is it worth marrying for power? Doesn't she have enough money of her own?] After looking at her own wealth, the eldest sister quietly rejected the arranged marriage. Later on, Audrey noticed that her pocket money was increasing. As she gazed at the jewelry her second brother and eldest sister gave her, she fell into deep thought. THIS STORY IS NOT MINE!!!!! FOR OFFLINE PURPOSES ALL CREDITS TO THE AUTHOR AND TRANSLATOR. ...

Mattie is late for his first day at his intimidatingly large new school, but he isn't the only one. When Mattie and seventeen-year-old Morgan Winters both reach for the door, their hands touch and electricity erupts through their bodies, and both boys know they have found the one. Mattie is coy, quiet, and easily flustered when he sets his eyes on the cool and collected Morgan. From his constant bedhead hair and carefree laugh to the way he always had a camera attached to his shoulders, Mattie was drawn to the crazy carefree charming and lovable mess that was Morgan Winters. These two boys navigate friendship, acceptance, growth and love with their two best friends: Jenny, the lovable spitfire, and Julian, the teddy bear jock. Along the way, Mattie and Morgan discover a love so strong, so deeply intertwined in each other's hearts that nothing can come between them, or can it? A faraway college looms over their heads and an unforeseeable circumstance threatens to break their seemingly impossible bond. Join these two on their journey to see if Mattie and Morgan's love will prove strong enough to beat the odds or if the love they're building will come crashing down around them.[This story is told in Mattie's point of view.

[2] The Whole Family Is Insanely Eavesdropping on My Thoughts by iwantx
75 parts Ongoing
Lu Chao Chao found herself transported into the pages of a novel. In this story, she was cast as a disposable character, doomed to be killed at birth, with her place in the narrative usurped by the story's heroine. This heroine, under the guise of moral virtue, accuses her adoptive mother and grandfather of betraying their country, which results in the extermination of her entire lineage. Following this, she reclaims her birth mother and, alongside her ineffectual father, manages to dodge any culpability, leading a blissful existence thereafter. Thus, only Lu Chao Chao's family ends up as mere footnotes in the heroine's path. Observing her mother, who has been subjected to years of emotional manipulation, Lu Chao Chao reveals a painful truth: ["Mother, the love of your life is currently awaiting his concubine's childbirth."]. This revelation jolts her infatuated mother to reality. Turning her attention to her physically challenged elder brother, she laments ["Big brother, you have endured unspeakable humiliation and suffering. But fear not, for I have the means to cure your affliction!"]. Remarkably, her brother then goes on to surpass every contender in the capital, achieving unrivaled greatness. To her second brother, she unveils a harsh truth ["You have misplaced your trust. Your so-called best friend is nothing but the illegitimate offspring of our despicable father."]. And to her third brother, she points out his deliberate downfall ["You were purposefully led astray, left ignorant, succumbed to gambling, and found yourself in dire straits."]. In her candidness, Lu Chao Chao watches as her family overturns their doomed fates. The detestable man is cast aside, and her three brothers rise to become paragons of virtue and success. Even she, merely an infant with a feeding bottle, becomes the darling of the entire world. 📌 Story and translation are not mine, all credit goes to the real owner. For offline reading only.
