The city, usually busy and noisy, looks calm and silent at dawn. The river Hudson flows quietly, and the sunlight shines on the buildings, ships, and domes, making them look bright and beautiful. The air is clean, and there is a peaceful feeling everywhere
Nature and the man-made city blend beautifully at this moment.
Somewhere in a house, a boy with brown hair and green eyes just finished his morning workout.
His body was drenched in sweat. It's been 3 days since he has been following the same schedule.
Morning exercise, School and then writing.
He had written 3 volumes in the meantime.
After exercise and meditation, he went to bathe.
After bathing, he put on his dress and sat on the bed.
"It's been 3 days, there is no reply ", Mark said while checking his email.
Hey, Tiss shortlists another publication company. I will wait for today, and if I get no reply, I will send it to another company.
"Okay," Tiss replied.
So he took his bag and went to the dining room for breakfast.
-----------------------------------------------
New York City
The same day
IN THE LUNCH TIME
Somewhere in New York City, in a vast modern office, a middle-aged man sat in his chair. He had brown hair, fair skin and a masculine body. His name is Robert Grace.
He was starting his computer without blinking.
It seemed that he forgot to blink. He read a visually illustrated novel with very good art and a story. And this captivated him.
Fifteen minutes ago, he was checking his emails. Then he came across a very peculiar email. It said briefly, " I send you my first 15 pages of my novel. If you like it, you can send me a confirmation email."
At first, he thought some arrogant writer had sent him some garbage.
But as a publisher, he could not avoid this. What if it came out as a good story.
So he clicked the attachment and opened the PDF.
Seeing the cover page, he was impressed."First impression is the last impression", he murmured.
"Cover page has good art and design
And a good title, I can say the author has good taste", he said to himself.
Then he scrolled down to see the story and started to read, and his eyes opened wide.
He was immersed in this story. And after reading 15 pages, he wants more. He became restless. He had read many comics, but he had never read this kind of story with this kind of good art.
And then he noticed that it was sketched. Someone spent their time sketching and writing the dialogue.
He decided he would publish this. He wanted to meet this person and wanted to read the whole story.
Then he opened the email, but he did not find any contact number there.
So he typed a message asking for his contact number so that they could sign the contract.
"Let's hope he doesn't sign contract with another company", he thought and began to reread manga.
-----------------------------------
In the meantime, Mark was eating his lunch with his friend Jason.
After spending time in school, they became good friends.
"What's your plan for today after school?" Jason asked
"Nothing special ", while chewing the sasuge.
"Then how about we go to New York City today, just want to have fun," Jason said, looking at Mark.
"I need a break and fresh air," Mark thought.
"Ok, but when are you planning to go? " Mark asked
"How about 5 p.m., we will meet at the bus stop", Jason said.
"Ok for me, " I replied.
*Ding*
At that time, a sound comes from Mark's phone.
So he opened his phone and saw there was an email from Jupiter publication.
He opened the email and began to read
"To Mark Kent
It is a pleasure to receive your writing, and it's a good book. The art, the dialogue and the story surely captivate me. So our company requests that you sign a contract with us. And if you have already signed a contract with another company, I request that you meet me for a brief moment. Although I wanted to contact you as soon as possible, but had not given you my phone number, so I sent you my phone number, and please call me as soon as you see my message. I will wait for your reply.
From Robert Grace, chairman of Jupiter Publication,"
Mark read the message and smiled.
"What can you do, this story is amazing to ignore", Mark thought.
------------------------------------
After school, he returned to his home and, after changing his clothes, he sat in his bed. Then he dialed the number.
Ring-ring Ring-ring Ring-ring
After ringing three times, the call connected
" Hello, Robert here."
Mark heard a male voice
"Hello, sir, I am Mark Kent. I have sent you my writing ", Mark replied
" I am waiting for your call, Mr. Mark. I am very impressed with your writing, and our company is interested in working with you. And also, I want to ask, have you signed any contract with another company?", Robert inquired.
"No, Sir I haven't, actually I only sent you my book, and If you hadn't replied, I would
Have contacted another publisher," Mark replied
"Then I say God is with me, how about we meet face to face and discuss?", Robert said
"Then we can meet tomorrow, basically in the evening,, Mark said.
"Of course, I will send you the location and time, but how can I recognise you?" Robert Said.
"I will be wearing black jeans and a Navy Blue Shirt," Mark replied.
"Then I will be waiting."
Mark cut the call. So tomorrow is the first step to earning money.
