The Night I Turn Twenty

You can play it here

Last update ➥ December 8th, 2023

You are a famous actor/actress at the peak of your career when someone attempts to kill you. Instead of meeting your end in heaven (or hell, for that matter), you find yourself transported back eight years ago, precisely when you were 20 years old.

The worst part is, it's the beginning of your career. It is when you haven't attained all the fame and luxury you currently possess. No, it can't be like this.

You have to regain your career

• Play as male/female/nonbinary

• Have 4 romance options + 1 hidden RO to romance

• Audition and star in your favorite movie

• Regain your success and fame

• Seek revenge against the one who tried to kill you or simply forgive

• Become a better person

• Someone from the past (Madison/ Mason Ashford):

You've known each other since childhood. They are a troublemaker, and you are an overachiever. You have always been each other's enemies. But one day, during high school, you did something unforgivable, causing them to truly hate you.

Enemies to lovers???

• The actor crush (Kaia/Kai Carlson):

They are your favorite actor, even before you became famous. Despite your newfound fame, you never starred in the same movie, and even at award shows, you could only watch them from distance. But this time, in this new life, you are given the chance to act in a film together. Could this also be an opportunity for you to capture their heart?

Crush to lovers???

• The bodyguard (Ava/Adam Blackwell):

With your rising popularity and the killer still on the loose, your manager assigns a bodyguard to protect you. The problem is, this quiet and cold bodyguard is incredibly attractive.

Boss-employee to lovers???

• The cute fan (Lydia/Luke Parker):

In your previous life, after high school, you moved to LA to pursue your dreams, not putting much thought into college and such. This time around, you have the opportunity to go to college. But as it turns out, a classmate is a big fan of yours. With their warm smile, they also can brighten your days.

Haa, I knew something like this would happen. It seems like it's due to copyright, haha. Yeah, maybe it's my fault. I might rewrite that part or just change the image. What do you think?

Anyway, if you're curious, the actual images are like this

This one if you're causing trouble on stage:

And this one if you're patiently sitting in your place:

I'm a sucker for slowburn, you know wink wink I think many fanfics I've read are tag slowburn too.

If I were to rank them from the least to most slowburn, it might go like this:

1. Lydia/Luke Parker:They already genuinely admire the MC. They already like you. Of course, I won't make the story that easy; there will be other challenges and issues, for sure.

2. Kaia/Kai Carlson:With their looks and personality, I feel it wouldn't be difficult for the MC to be enchanted by them. It won't be hard for the MC to capture their attention either. However, with fame and scandals in this industry uh oh it won't be that easy.

3. Ava/Adam Blackwell:They are the cold, work-focused type, so when they start developing feelings for the MC, they'll be more in denial, especially if the MC acts similarly. Moreover, if the MC behaves like them🤦‍♀️

Are you talking about Zac Efron's movie? I also enjoy that movie😆 Maybe because they both involve time travel, they seem similar, but my story is different from that film. It's not based on or inspired by it.

Honestly, I came up with this story idea on the bus ride home from college. I was really tired that day, and random thoughts led me to imagine what if the bus crashed, and I didn't make it. However, my common sense thought it would be unfair for the other passenger and my family would be sad. That's when the idea for this story struck me.

No not really, It's entirely your call!

Okay, This is the description for ROs

Ashford: They have olive skin, messy brown hair, and striking blue eyes.

Carlson: They have fair skin, neatly styled blond hair, and light green eyes.

Blackwell: They have dark brown skin, short black curly hair, and captivating brown eyes.

can’t wait for more!!

Oooh thank you for asking

I also read other authors doing that, and I think it seems fun and quite amusing. I can challenge myself at the same time

Friend, now I literally just want my MC, after managing to climb slightly in the industry, to arrive at Aunt Margie's apartment and their gave her with adoption papers, it would be something like:

Margie: oh... are you going to adopt a baby?

MC: no, you are going to adopt a baby

[MC puts the adoption papers on the table]

MC: and that baby is me, sign here please.

Haha now I'm really imagining how it would be. She'd probably show MC off to the whole extended family like an Asian mom.

During family gathering,

From the depths of my heart, even though I'm the author

I apologize for my long absence on Tumblr. Being sick in December, especially during the holiday season, was no fun at all😭 so if there are some asks Rence haven't answered, forgive me, I didn't mean to ignore you.

But don't worry, during that time, I used it to work on writing the story😎

So this time, Rence will share what you can expect from the next update ✨✨✨

1. Your film auditions (well, duh, you all already know)

2. Late-night talks with Gladys

3. Meeting our first RO (ahh, my baby Ashford)

4. The release of your first movie

So many things to say. Okay

1. Can't say I've actually played anything like it before so it's very refreshing.

2. I couldn't tell English wasn't your first language. English is my second language aswell and your story was very well written.

3. MC was such an ass omg. I hated him 🤣 he was so rude which I also love REDEMPTION ARC TIME!!

4.i was expecting mc to be more shocked tho. Like I'd have a whole panic attack/go into crisis. Like I just died and now I'm alive. Legit mini panic attack vibes. 👀 question shit you know. That's my only note.

I did really enjoy the IF tho. It was a good demo. You actually got me to see why my character deserved to die. He was horrible 🤣 you did a good job! ♥️

Thank you for your kind words. It really made my day!!

The plan is, I want to make the MC go through a life crisis, you know like a dilemma and confusion/shock (how did I go back in time, why is someone trying to kill me and stuff). Also, you can make the MC easily suspicious of others because they don't know who the killer is yet. Maybe because it's still in the first chapter so it hasn't fully show the crisis.

What kind of bad habits? I actually want to add them, but I don't want you all to hate yourselves too much😭

Did you just say that you create an account because of my story?? Awww

It's rare to see a regression IF so I am really hyped

Question

1_are we ever coming back to the original timeline (wake up in the hospital if we choose)

2_will you do pov after mc death in the original timeline (I can imagine the drama everyone pointing fingers and the internet doing it's thing-making bad things worst-)

So, to answer your questions:

1. I don't think so. In the original timeline, the MC was really dead (dead as in not breathing). So, after going back in time it is the only chance to become someone new. But what do you guys think?

2. Yeah, I guess. That's a great idea actually.Maybe I'll make it as a side story. The events would be incredibly chaotic, wouldn't they?😈

Since it's still the first chapter, there are some characters who haven't appeared yet. Maybe after they show up, I'll create the story

I'm sorry😭

This is the first time I'm using the save plugin. But now I've fixed it.
