Into the Creations 1376

Chapter 1376 – 1376. God’S Atlantis

Elena and Yuria decided to appear in a sitcom.

It was a sitcom called ‘The Six Siblings of District 6,700’. It was a long-running program that had been airing for two years, and its content was very light and enjoyable. The story was about the main characters challenging the entertainment industry, so the portrayal of the entertainment world was quite accurate.

The Six Siblings had a viewership rating of 60%. When it did well, it reached 70%. If the rumor that Phobitz would appear spread, the viewership rating would easily exceed 70%.

‘Originally, it wouldn’t be this easy to decide on an appearance on The Six Siblings…’

As the viewership rating was high, many celebrities wanted to appear on The Six Siblings.

‘Lilith Entertainment must have pulled some strings.’

I brought Elena and Yuria to the filming set.

It was different from the filming set of a variety show. While variety shows had a light and comfortable atmosphere, the sitcom filming set was like a war zone.

‘I understand. Sitcoms have to be filmed five times a week. They must be busy.’

I headed towards the director of The Six Siblings.

“Hello, Director. We are Tia and Yuria of Phobitz. I am Sung Yujin, the producer of Phobitz.”

“You’ve arrived?”

The director with a messy beard spoke as if he was annoyed. He quickly glanced over Yuria and Elena and then gestured with his hand.

“As you can see, we’re busy. Even if you can’t act well, we’ll just gloss over it. So, you’ll have to deal with any controversy about bad acting on your own.”

“Our girls are good at acting. Haha.”

“We’ll see about that later. Well, you’re only appearing for about 1-2 minutes, so just don’t cause any accidents. We’re filming this now, and then we’ll go into a short take, so… go over there and wait for about 10 minutes.”

“Yes. Please take care of us.”

I didn’t tell Elena and Yuria to bow. They weren’t going to be celebrities for life, so it didn’t matter if they got a reputation for being rude. Of course, if that happened, I would step in and tear the director’s limbs off to keep his mouth shut.

I thought we only had to wait 10 minutes, but the filming took longer, and we ended up waiting for 30 minutes.

“Ms. Yuria! Ms. Tia! We’re going into a short take! Please come forward!”

Yuria and Elena stood in front of the camera. They were decked out in luxury brands, befitting their roles as rich young ladies. Usually, celebrities would look like pigs wearing pearl necklaces, but… it wasn’t the case for them.

It was to the point where the luxury brands seemed insufficient for them. That was because the dignity they possessed was superior to the luxury brands.

‘This scene is about two rich young ladies fighting over a diamond necklace that the female lead, who works part-time at a department store, has.’

It was a light story that was typical of a sitcom.

Yuria crossed her arms. She emphasized her fuller chest more than Elena. Was it because of the atmosphere? It didn’t look vulgar. It was enveloped in an elegant charisma.

“You there. Hand over that necklace to me.”

Yuria’s arrogant expression, clear pronunciation, and the charm she exuded. Everything was perfect.

“…Impressive.”

The director was immediately impressed.

Elena was not at all inferior to Yuria. She was a noble who had controlled the imperial political world, where scheming and plotting were rampant, since she was young.

“Are you kidding me? I came here first. That necklace is mine. Miss. Hand over that necklace to me.”

“Uh, uh, that’s… you did come first, but… this person presented their card first…”

Yuria urged the female lead with a victorious smile.

“That’s right. The first to pay wins. What are you doing? Hurry up and pay.”

“Miss. I’m a VVIP here. Don’t you know me?”

“Hmph. As if you’re the only one who’s a VVIP.”

“Oh, come on. What are you, get lost, I already claimed that necklace.”

“Get lost? How dare you talk back to me?! Are you crazy?!”

“Crazy? Are you really out of your mind?”

“I’m crazy. What are you going to do about it?!”

*Slap.*

Yuria slapped Elena’s cheek.

It was according to the script. However, the sound was unusually loud, and Elena’s head turned sharply. Feeling the chilling aura, I gulped.

‘Both of them are so good at acting… for a moment, I thought it wasn’t acting.’

Elena slowly turned her head. Her sharp eyes glared at Yuria as if she wanted to kill her.

“Did you… just hit me?”

“What are you going to do if you glare at me like that? I’ve decided to buy that necklace, so give up and get lost. Unless you want to suffer more….”

*Slap!*

Elena’s palm struck Yuria’s cheek. Yuria’s silver hair scattered. Yuria immediately turned her head and glared at Elena.

“……”

“……”

Originally, the female lead was supposed to step in and mediate here. However, the female lead was trembling, not daring to interfere. She was intimidated by Yuria and Elena’s aura. It was understandable. Even I, who was watching, was tense. The director, who should have called cut, was just watching as if he was possessed by something.

“Are you really trying to start something?”

“Do you think I can’t?”

“You bitch!”

“You bitch!”

Yuria and Elena simultaneously rushed at each other. They grabbed each other’s hair and shouted loudly. Usually, when you shout, your voice becomes hoarse, but… their voices were so clear that they were easy to hear.

“Ack! Let go of me!”

“You let go first! Aaaack!”

“Let go!”

“You first!!”

“Kyaaaaaaaak!”

“Aaaaaack!”

The female lead belatedly came to her senses. She hurriedly stepped between them.

“Ah, ladies! Calm down! Calm down! If you keep doing this, I’ll call the police?!”

“Cuuuuut!”

The director shouted. He smiled as if he was pleased.

“This, this… I got so immersed that I forgot I was the director. A good scene has come out, so look forward to it. Ah, prepare for the next scene. It’s the scene where the ladies reconcile after the female lead mediates. It would be good to have a police officer too.”

“Director. There’s no police officer in the script, though…”

“Can’t we do it if we just bring a police uniform? Assistant director, don’t act like a newbie.”

“…I’ll prepare it right away.”

We had some free time.

I nervously approached Elena and Yuria. Their hair was disheveled, and their cheeks had clear handprints.

“Why are you asking the obvious? Do you think we were really fighting?”

“Yes. If you were really fighting… it wouldn’t have ended like this. And I don’t have any particular ill feelings towards Elena.”

“…Actually, I had some ill feelings. Yuria, don’t you remember? I died because of you last time.”

“I don’t remember.”

“You bitch….”

Contrary to her words, Elena’s face was calm. It seemed like she was just saying it for the sake of it. I, who was worried that they were really fighting, let out a sigh of relief. During the break, they drank wine and spent their time.

The filming ended perfectly.

•••

It had been three weeks since Yuria and Mireyeong were summoned. Phobitz had only half of their time left.

‘Their popularity is steadily rising. No problem.’

「Phobitz’s Popularity: 3,151,698」

「Phobitz’s Popularity Ranking: 11th」

They hadn’t entered the top 10 yet.

But their popularity would change starting this week.

‘Because the things I’ve prepared will start to explode this week.’

Starting this week, the programs that Phobitz had filmed would start airing. Each member had appeared on more than 10 variety shows, and there were 4 programs exclusively for Phobitz. All of them were scheduled to explode this week.

‘Popularity is also about recognition, after all.’

Phobitz would sweep through District 6,700 like a storm.

‘And at the end of this week, Phobitz will perform on stage with a new song. This time, I’ve nagged Etwal to make the costumes according to the concept, and I’ve succeeded in getting all the support from Lilith Entertainment.’

Lilith Entertainment had also opposed it. They said that Phobitz’s image was being consumed too much.

‘Nonsense. You have to push hard when they’re not used to it. That’s how the stimulation is greater. To gain control of District 6,700, Phobitz only needs to reach number one for one moment, just one moment.’

The variety shows that Phobitz appeared on poured out.

Each member showed off their charms on the variety shows. Their overwhelming visuals and individuality. And Phobitz’s purity was enough to attract fans.

「Phobitz’s Popularity: 5,004,395」

「Phobitz’s Popularity Ranking: 9th」

Their popularity was rising like crazy. At the same time, their ranking was also rising.

“It’s the perfect time! Right now, Venus Entertainment is having schedule disruptions because Venus Studio was destroyed! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Phobitz will dominate the entertainment industry!”

Lilith was delighted. The more popular Phobitz became, the more profit Lilith Entertainment, the agency, would gain.

“Tell me honestly. Chunma. That’s PD Sung, right.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You’re going to pretend you don’t know? Fine. But it would be better to be careful in many ways. Venus Entertainment tends to be ruthless when they take action. You’ve heard the myth about Aphrodite, right? That bitch has a terrible personality.”

“Are they going to come and attack us directly?”

“They might.”

“……”

Time passed.

I actively used social media to spread good stories about Phobitz. Of course, they were fabricated good stories. But the stupid pigs didn’t doubt the good stories much.

Reporters who received money from other agencies appeared and wrote malicious articles about Phobitz.

The articles claimed that Phobitz was paying money to music sites and that I, the producer, was in an inappropriate relationship with them. In addition to that, they tried to hinder Phobitz’s growth by creating malicious scandals.

The good thing was that the cyber wreckers were quiet. They were terrified by the suicide video of Park Soon-chul of Pakssi TV. Of course, there were some who hadn’t come to their senses and attacked Phobitz… At that time, I went to the cyber wreckers and reporters and threatened them. After kindly tearing off one of their arms and grinding it in a blender, they became quiet on their own.

「Phobitz’s Popularity: 7,712,928」

「Phobitz’s Popularity Ranking: 7th」

It was going smoothly.

Phobitz’s popularity was rising smoothly.

“PD Sung Yujin. I know that Phobitz’s popularity is unusual these days. There is a way to raise Phobitz to even greater heights. Would you like to hear it?”

Colin, a director of Lilith Entertainment, appeared in front of me and said. The middle-aged man with brown hair looked at me with a subtly dismissive gaze.

I held back once. He was a director of Lilith Entertainment. Maybe he really had a good proposal.

“Let’s hear it.”

“District 6,700 is a society dominated by a small number of privileged people. The number one in the popularity ranking is the goddess Aphrodite, but without them, the society of District 6,700 would not function. Conversely, their power and wealth can control District 6,700.”

“…Director Colin. Can you just get to the point? I’m a bit busy.”

“In three days, their secret party will be held. I would like you to send Phobitz there.”

“Are you telling me to offer Phobitz as a sex slave?”

“It’s not exactly sex slavery. You just need to please them. There may be some sexual harassment in the process, but… you can endure that much, can’t you? Think about the rewards. More than 10 commercials, 2 fixed programs that Phobitz can appear on for a year… If you’re uncomfortable telling Phobitz, I’ll persuade them. Let me meet them… Aaaaaaaack!”

I tore Colin’s limbs off.

I used the highest-grade potion to regenerate his limbs and repeated the tearing.

I wanted to tear his torso as well, but that was too easy.

“…You’re going to live a long life.”

I called David of Nar Entertainment. Using a lie detector, I extracted the information Colin had. He had agreed to receive cash and investment in a new agency in exchange for offering Phobitz. I also found out all the people who had tried to reach out to Phobitz.

David swallowed hard and asked me.

“……Are you planning to go and kill them?”

“That’s too easy. And if I kill them all now… Phobitz’s momentum, which is currently rising in popularity, will be broken.”

“If you give the order, I will step forward.”

“David. I’m not going to kill those bastards. I’m going to keep them alive. Until the end of this world. And there are quite a few bastards to keep alive.”

While living as Phobitz’s manager and producer, I had met all sorts of bastards.

Among them, there were bastards who sent nude photos to Phobitz’s official email, and there were bastards like Director Colin who subtly suggested sponsorships. Bastards who left malicious comments, sasaeng fans who followed Phobitz around, and bastards who were creating aggro on the internet, saying they would kill Phobitz.

I remember all of them.

“…Can I hear your plan, Yujin?”

“I’m going to build a farm underground in this city.”

“A farm… you mean?”

“Yes. A human farm. A human farm solely for the purpose of inflicting pain on those ignorant bugs.”

David trembled slightly. He knew better than anyone that I was serious.

“The bugs will live their entire lives eating their own flesh and filth.”

「The King of the Heavenly Citadel laughs.」

「The King of the Heavenly Citadel is happy.」

「A fallen star admires you.」

「The Golden Collector acknowledges you.」

「The one who swallows sin fears you.」

「The sacred fire despises you.」

「The cycle of life and death is wary of you.」

「The master of the sky is intrigued.」

「The King of the Heavenly Citadel bestows a gift upon you.」

A black jewel appeared in the air. I accepted it.

「Core of Living Hell

 You can create a living hell.

 Those in the living hell do not die. They suffer eternally. There is no salvation.

 The manager of the living hell is not affected by the living hell.

 Rank: SSS」

“…You must have liked it quite a bit. David, choose. Will you become the manager of the farm?”

I deliberately showed him the core of the living hell.

David’s choice was already decided.

“Just leave it to me. I won’t disappoint you.”

“If you don’t want to become a bug, you’d better do well.”
