December 31, 1988.

  Time jump, six years.

  In Billy's exhaustive quest to improve his ag skills, he participated in a series of activities that he is still embarrassed about. He served as sery, pying the role of a tree was never as challenging as being a lion, or sun, and fulfilling some other extra roles to fill in the gaps. In some pys, he had a few lines, but at no point could he fulfill his repressed wish number 6.

  -Yes. -

  -Hello, Grandma, - Billy said on the phone.

  -Dear, how was your New Year's party? - Helen Carson paused for a moment. --You should e to visit us sometime. Yrandpa has been w at the gas station a couple of blocks away. Remember, the one you used to go roller skating with. --

  -I'd love to e at any time, - Billy said.

  His grandma was always dedicated to her words.

  -Happy New Year, young man. Your dad told me about your id the book you're about to publish. I'm so proud of you, - Helen Carson said.

  -Yes, Grandma, -- Billy replied. -- Dad enced me to publish the two ics I'm w on, and the book will be self-published in his name. I couldn't find a publishing house that offered a det deal. -

  -Well, that's good, - Helen responded, making a peculiar mouth gesture, something she did wheruggled to find the right words.

  -It's been a while since you visited; the Texas heat is always overwhelming. You get used to it over time. Your father told me you've started drawing in your free time and want to bee an actor, - Helen said, almost pleading.

  -It's a drama school, Grandma, not essentially just being an actor, - Billy argued.

  His grandma wanted another wyer in the family. Initially, his drawings were well received, and his sketches surprised the family. However, when he mentioned his iions to pursue an artistic career, tensions with his grandma began to surfa different occasions.

  -Yes, it's the same, - Helen replied. - Your father is a good wyer; he's been w since he finished college. If you follow in the family business like he did, you may get a better job in ten years. -

  -Thank you, Grandma, but my destiny isn't to be a wyer. I'm meant to draw, write, and perform, -Billy said.

  His father had just ehe living room, and he gave him a look of soce. -- Happy New Year, Grandma, -- Billy firying not to shout, but it came close.

  -We're going to San Francis ten days. Yrandpa has some busio attend to. I hope the issues... I hope your father give us a clear answer, - Helen replied.

  -Yes, Grandma. -

  -Good night, young man, - Helen said.

  -Happy New Year, say hi to Grandpa, - Billy repeated for the tenth time, clearly feeling unfortable.

  -Mom's been so sweet ever since I moved from Texas to California, - Thomas Carson ented with a smile.

  "I know, Dad. Have you finished work for today?" Billy asked.

  -Yes, the divorce case I was handling closed this m; they decided to settle. After dividing the assets, it turns out the wife wahe house in New York, and the husband wahe store in New York. They both believed they each wanted what the other did, -- Thomas said cheerfully. --W in December when your son is on vacation is not my favorite thing to do. -

  -In two days, do we have a meeting with your friend? - Billy asked.

  -Yes, remember when you were eight, and you told me you wao be a great ic book artist, like Marvel Studios and Dics? We started to set up a produ line in the garage, - Thomas said.

  -Yes, I remember; you made me up, - Billy replied.

  -I worked by mowing wns throughout the neighborhood, doing the dishes, the undry, and selling cookies, - Billy thought out loud.

  -It was money well ied, - his father said.

  For their iment, they purchased 140-gram offset paper. With the help of Thomas's tacts in the cht office, they found a supplier who provided them with wholesale paper: 10 kilos for 14.99, 100 kilos for 215, and 1000 kilos for 1300.

  They bought a special ser printer for ics, which cost a substantial sum of 1500. It was a high-quality color prihat produced two pages per mio save on costs initially, they purchased a special photocopier that provided 1800 DPI bd white copies. Each photocopier cost 999, and they could copy dots onto 140-gram offset paper on both sides.

  The ic's size would be A4, almost like a pocketbook, with eae sisting of 25 pages. They desighe covers on 200-gram matte paper. They aimed to start a produ line for 40,000 copies to be marketed all over California.

  In the 1980s, the idustry experienced a surge in popurity due to TV series and Star Wars movies. However, this unpreted expansioo market saturation, and many ic publishers were liquidated due to a ck of creativity. By 1988, the idustry was experieng a downturn, aeologies were diverting ers towards video game purchases. In 1989, Sega Genesis was released, further intensifying petition with Nintendo in the gaming market.

  -Don't get me wrong, son, -- Thomas chuckled, amused by his son's expression. -- It's all for your well-being. Thanks to your father, you've pleted the national and iional cht registration for the two series you've created. -

  -What are their hey sound pretty iing, - asked the elder Carson.

  -Dad, you initiated the cht registration process as inal works, - Billy pointed out.

  -They're Sm Dunk and Phantom Report, - the boy said resignedly.

  Although Phantom Report is "Yu Yu Hakusho," the trend of Ameriizing the series is indeed a novel idea. The pn is to develop the plot simirly but give it an Ameri tone, making it a more pnned series.

  The cht registration was done five months ago, and it's a cumbersome process with a main bran Washington. First, an ied cht search is ducted in the main branch's databases. The whole process took a total of twenty days, and the registration was pleted without any issues.

  -These are fantastic works. The produ level of both is perfect, - said Thomas.

  Sm Dunk and Phantom Report both have a densed development of 20 volumes each. The pn for this series is to create a linear story spanning 50 volumes.

  -Have you started on the volumes? Your dear father has been eager to know what will happen in the volumes, - Thomas inquired.

  -Yes, Dad. There are still some pages and pao touch up, but volumes five of Sm Dunk and Phantom Report will officially be avaible. I've been fog on the series of Samurai Jad Hellboy to keep both series in sync with unified releases. I want to maintain a sistent publication schedule, -Billy replied.

  -Both of those are very good as well, especially the Samurai o has this intriguing vibe that makes you want to read the volume, - Thomas said.

  -Yes, they are indeed good works, - Billy excimed.

  -I haven't decided on the development of certain story arcs yet, but they'll be avaible soon. I want to give them a sequend show the stories of some sedary characters so that the body of work has more meaning. I'm still w on the characters, - Billy expined.

  This weekend, the registration for Samurai Jad Hellboy will be done. He 't wait to earn points when the ics are published.

  -Very well, tomorrow we have a meeting with the folks from Dark Horse ics. Let's not rush it. Pn B is the pany that went bankrupt a year and a half ago, Charlton ics. It was bought by some enthusiasts, and there might be a deal there if we propose it. Although Dark Horse ics liked your ics, - the responsible adult mentioned.

  -Thank you, Dad. -

  There was support from his father, though not unditional. They set various ditions, starting with the requirement to plete his school subjects diligently and pass the final exams for each grade. It's o have support.

  Oher hand, the beginnings in the academic field of perf arts for teenagers were based on fulfilling activities like pantomime, theater games, and improvisations.

  -I've had fun, - Billy thought.

  In a review of his wish fulfillment:

  [Renated's wish:

  Publish a ic with sales of 100,000 copies.To discover your repressed wish, you must fulfill the first one.

  …]The number 1 wish was mysteriously fulfilled when he joihe theater group and participated in the py as ara. He had a total of four short lines, but fulfilling the wish helped him raise his drawing skills to level 20 and gradually overe his stage fright.

  Task number 1 earned him a total of 100 points. Subsequent tasks assessed a total of 100 points with a progressive increase of 10 points for each task.

  Although the subsequent development of each activity increased by ten points, the difficulty also rose. It was revealing that with every step, his heart shone. Each deeply rooted wish sed the dark feelings his heart had harbored.

  -Status, - he whispered.
