"You actually wrote a tragiding!"

  The Duke of Bones sat furiously at the long table in the hall as she looked at Joshua who was busy editing.

  The Duke of Bones should have been furious at those despicable humans for barging into her territory, yet the moment she watched the plete sample of "Beauty and the Demon", two tiny soulfires seeped out of her empty eye sockets, and she felt a little seal.

  However, she did not wallow in it for too long as the Duke of Bones remembered that the swriter of the movie was just right beside her! So, the duke rushed over and gave him a live delivery of razor bdes.

  "Yrace, if you are not satisfied with the story, you rewrite the script make it end happily."

  Joshua held his charcoal pencil as he outlined a spherical shape, answering the duke without even raising his head.

  "Yhness, you mean, I ge the ending?"

  The Duke of Bones' not-so-friendly tone seemed to imply that. If Joshua permitted her, she would really amend the ending by force.

  "What I mean is you write a story you want using this story as a tempte. Anyone do it."

  Joshua's method of creation was called an adaptation ba Earth. In more erms, it would be called fan-fi.

  "Beauty and the Beast" movies seen ier geions were all adaptations of the inal, be it the Disney or the French version. All of them were movie adaptations instead of the inal work, and so was Joshua's.

  Joshua did not oppose to the people of this world adapting "Beauty and the Beast". In fact, he even enced it.

  That was because having multiple adaptations would allow the story to spread far and wide...

  Joshua only had one request that any person ted the work would credit the inal author, Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. Mrs. Beaumont was the inal author of "Beauty and the Beast", a female French writer.

  It was also Joshua's requirement for himself. He had never po cim the work as his own in this world. After all, Joshua was there tate Earth's culture, not to pgiarize it.

  As a proper propagator of culture, that was the most basic of requirements.

  "I have not reached that level of humiliating myself."

  The Duke of Bones pondered a bit before she gave up the idea. She really did not have any creative bone on her.

  "In that case, Yrace, you... tell me your full name?"

  Joshua paused his writing. Ever since he fed the ant with the Duke of Bones, Joshua only khe duke's first name, but not her family name.

  "Yhness, is there any meaning to that question?"

  "I would like to tell the audience who gave the movie its soundtrack."

  Joshua pletely bed a long piece of paper before he wrote the cast list with white paint. The first person on the list was, of course, Mrs. Beaumont, while the sed person was Ynor who pyed Belle, ah who pyed the prince. Even the names of the ghosts who pyed the living furniture were included, alongside a few vilgers who made cameos, and Ciri Lloyd.

  "My family name is not important, Yhness. I am satisfied just as long as you rey name down."

  The Duke of Bones seemed to particurly resent her surname, but since she requested it, Joshua only wrote her given name. "Music: Selonica."

  The st series of names were all Joshua's. Director, Pnner, Scriptwriter, Propmaker, ematography, Camera Operatioing, and what not were all Joshua Annerude.

  After expending so much effort to produce the movie, Joshua was definitely not shy about crediting himself.

  After he was doh the credits, the produ of the opening credits remained.

  The opening credits were nothing more than a means to show off the logo of a studio. Joshua pondered a while before he finally drew the logo of Earth on the paper before he wrote "Produ of Studio Earth" in both ese as well as English.

  While it may look a little silly, the spinning blue p was the go-to logo Joshua would use iure. After all, all of these movies and novels inated from Earth.

  The spinning effect was doh basitinuous page flip animation as Joshua had yet to figure out how to i pictures into the programs he had written.

  "And... done."

  After Joshua pleted the opening and ending credits, he recorded them into the inium crystal, deg that the final product of "Beauty and the Demon: had been successfully produced.

  "Yrace, this is a memento for you."

  Joshua took out ay inium crystal and made a copy before he gave it to the Duke of Bones.

  The entire filming process used up about a hundred inium crystals. After learning the white magic taught by Ciri, Joshua had mao reuse the crystals and actually did not e all that much.

  "Yhness, you pn to s this move in the Human Realms ?"

  The Duke of Boook the inium crystal from Joshua. She had already heard about Joshua's ambition a while back. Joshua would not just stop at letting a hundred or two people watch the movie. His ambition was the entire world!"

  "Of course, the first stop is Nornd, the City of Magic," Joshua said.

  As to the exact location of the sing, Joshua had yet to figure it out. Wheime came, he would ask Ciri to inquire about it. After all, she khe Human Realms better than he did.

  At that moment, a ghost suddenly floated to Joshua's side. He was the Duke of Bones' majordomo who pyed the role of the teacup in the movie.

  The majordomo put down a badge oable o Joshua's hand before he disappeared.

  Joshua picked up the delicately engraved badge. It was marked with a flower, and within the badge was magic that could not be described with words.

  The surface of the badge looked like it had some age to it, with many marks of wear and tear on it.

  "This is..."

  "Something from a time long passed that is useless to me. Yhness, you take this badge and seek help from the Dalk Family. If I'm n, this family should be iheater business," the Duke of Bones said.

  "Uood."

  The badge, which the Duke of Bones gave him undoubtedly opened up a new door for Joshua. But Joshua did not ask a lot sihe duke seemed to resent her family name so much that there had to be a past she did not wish to speak of.

  "Then I shall bid my farewells for the time being. Yrace, when I visit the ime, I will definitely invite you to perform in a theater. Here are the musical scores I've piled."

  Joshua packed up the items oable before he passed on a thick stausical scores to the Duke of Bones. In them were some of the greatest works by musical maestros from Earth.

  "A performance... I do not expect such a near-impossible thing to happen, but Yhness... if you have pleted your movie, please do give it to me in advance."

  It looked like the Duke of Bones had found a treasure as she put away the scores, which Joshua gave her before she respoo him.

  Was she addicted to movies now? Sutertai was indeed a hing for the denizens of this world.

  "Of course."

  After accepting the request, Joshua picked up his suitcase a up to the gate of the duke's castle.

  Ciri had already been waiting outside the castle for a long time now.

  "We are going back to the human world. Excited?" Joshua walked dowairs to Ciri's side and asked.

  "Returning to the human world? Wait... fet about that. Hurry up and py a game of Pong with me!"

  Ciri threw down the gau Joshua. Ever sihe pletion of the filming, Ciri had been on a Pong shoith Joshua. Of course, the result was her beied by Joshua with a ten-game winning streak.

  That pletely roused Ciri's petitive streak.

  " you wait until we get on the carriage?"

  "Sure!"

  Joshua had inally thought that the repy value of the little game was not that great. It was not even worth the pytime for Joshua. After all, with the various triple A masterpieces ba Earth, Joshua was already a little fatigued aesthetically.

  heless, the essence of video games was t joy and fun to the pyers, and Pong seemed t great fun to Ciri, simple as it may be.

  Ciri immediately ran into the carriage that Zenarth was driving before patting the seat, signaling for Joshua to quickly get on.

  Joshua could already see what Ciri would bee when the age of the I actually arrived.

  He did not think that the age was not too far away since he had essentially brutally kicked the door of the era wide open.
