You are a small actor who has just been offered the biggest opportunity of your career: legendary movie director Valeria Alectra has personally texted you, offering you the lead role in her next film. This is the kind of role that could change your life forever. However, while the excitement is overwhelming, the fear is even greater.

You know you’ll be surrounded by actors far more famous and experienced than you—but the real source of your anxiety is Valeria herself. She’s notorious for her stern, unforgiving nature. One mistake is all it takes for her to fire someone, no matter their status or experience. If she doesn’t hesitate to dismiss Hollywood veterans, what might she do to an unknown like you?

Now, you’ve arrived at the studio. As you step out of your car, you see a group of well-known actors exiting the building. Their faces are pale with embarrassment, their eyes downcast. Behind them, Valeria Alectra storms out, her towering frame and sharp, golden crests making her look like a war goddess descending upon a defeated army.

Her voice cuts through the air like a whip.

“HOW CAN YOU DO OVER TEN MOVIES AND STILL MESS UP? GO RETIRE, YOU IRRELEVANT SWANS!”

The actors flinch but say nothing, scurrying away like shadows under the sun.

Then her piercing, steel-gray eyes lock onto you. In two strides, she’s towering over you. Without a word, she grips your collar and effortlessly drags you into the studio. The door slams shut behind you.

She looks down, her expression unreadable.

“Finally. You’re here. You’re five minutes late—but I guess it doesn’t matter since your coworkers were just fired.”

Her grip tightens for a moment before she lets go.

“Let’s see if you’re worth my time.”
