I am a Hyperstar!

Jordan Lin was originally a very ordinary doctor in Orlando, just another victim of Asian Tiger-Parenting in 21st Century America. Growing up, he had dreamt of joining the NBA and bringing the Orlando Magic to 7 consecutive titles. Why 7? Because Michael Jordan brought the Chicago Bulls 6 titles. And being a true blue Asian, he couldn’t accept being 2nd best, even if it was to the Greatest Of All Time. Alas, his par- ehm, life intervened, and at age 28, he found himself as a doctor/director in his best friend’s Pharmaceutical Company. However, Jordan Lin was tragically framed by his best friend in a corporate scandal, and he was accidentally killed in the process! Unable to accept his death, Jordan Lin rebelled against fate! He unleashed his secret inner powers and summoned the elemen - just kidding. He yelled! He screamed! He cursed! But he still died in the end. In the end? Actually, no. It wasn’t the end. It turned out to be just the beginning. Jordan Lin woke up and found himself in a parallel world! It’s still Earth, and it was still the same era. But where were the celebrities he knew? Where was the GOAT Michael Jordan!? Where was Lionel Messi? Denzel Washington? Barack Obama? Heck, even the songs were all different! And the brands! Where’s Amazon? Google? Tesla?? Armed with the incredibly potent knowledge of his previous world and a ridiculously overpowered System, Jordan Lin was ready to take on the world! Basketball Superstar? Showbiz Superstar? Billionaire Superstar? I’ll be them all! I am a… HYPERSTAR!

What makes you beautiful

Jordan Lin managed to enter the school bus with his pants on. 

"Holy smokes. Even though the whole world has changed, mom did not change at all. Not even one bit!" Jordan Lin breathed a huge sigh of relief at having escaped the jaws of the "Tigress" yet again. 

He flicked his shirt a few times to clear the bread crumbs that had gotten stuck on it as he hastily drank down his toasted bread earlier.

"Hurry sit down. Uncle driving now." A balding fifty year old Chinese uncle he did not recognize said to him lazily from the driver's seat. 

"Alright, alright. Keep your pants on." Jordan Lin grunted a reply and made his way down the aisles.

But as he did so, his eyes widened in shock. 

"Whaat the helll... Why are there so many Chinese kids?" Jordan Lin's mouth twitched slightly as he held back a shout of surprise. 

The bus was almost full and in his previous world, he was the only Chinese kid in that bus load of 40 rowdy Baltech High School kids. 

There were usually 30 caucasians and a mixture of everybody else in that bus. 

But at that moment, there were easily over ten Chinese kids in that bus! And they weren't hiding in some corner either like oppressed minorities...

They were spread all over the bus.

Talking.

Laughing.

Shouting.

The-They were even dressed well.

We… We are actually… Cool?

Holy smokes! Did the System have something against racism or something? Did it completely eradicate Asian Minority?

"Wachu doing there standing like an idiot, Chinese Dipshit?" A relatively good looking black dude in a tight fitting white tee which showed off his huge, rippling muscles shouted at him from three seats away. 

At his words, several of his equally black buddies around him turned their attention on him and began yelling at him as well.

"Chinese Dipshit! Sit down or go the hell back to your village in China!"

"Dumb shit. Why are you standing there and blocking my view? Get the f*ck outta my sight!" 

Ah? Okay so the System did not eradicate racism after all!

But then to his surprise and horror, even the Chinese students began to shout at him as well!

"Dumbass Jordan Lin! What the hell are you standing there like a statue for? Get your ass on a seat! Ta Ma De! (Your Mother!)"

"Bai Chi. (Idiot.)"

"Fei Wu! (Garbage Creature!)"

Eh? So it wasn't an issue with race at all. The issue was… Him!

"Damn it system. BRO! I thought you wanted to make me into a Basketball Star? What the hell? Why did you make me so unpopular! F*ck. I'll sit down first to make all these little bastards and traitors shut up!" Jordan Lin cried out to the heavens in protest and sat his ass down on the nearest empty seat next to him. 

And in an instant, the entire bus went completely silent. 

Completely. Silent.

"Hmph! This bro is actually a 28 year old adult. And a doctor. And a director. You think I will be afraid of you guys? I'll sit down first to keep the peace in the bus!" Jordan Lin was still thinking such thoughts to himself when he noticed the silence ringing out.

"Eh? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?" Jordan Lin's ass barely touched the seat when a deep sense of unease assailed his heart. 

He sneaked a peek at the student next to him to see if he accidentally sat next to a vampire or an ugly pockmarked witch or something. 

But on the contrary, she wasn't a vampire. She wasn't a witch. And she definitely wasn't pockmarked or ugly.

She was a very beautiful Chinese girl. She had clearly washed her hair earlier that morning and it was still slightly wet as it hung loosely down the side of her face. 

Jordan Lin could only see her side profile from where he was seated but her beauty which could overthrow kingdoms and empires could not be concealed. Her posture, her figure, her skin complexion, the curve of her chin and her soft cheeks, everything was perfect. 

Ahh… What a beauty. Not even Zhang Ziyi is as beautiful as her!

Jordan Lin's eyes brightened at such a marvelous feast for his eyes. 

But a moment later, his mouth began to twitch in worry as his sharp ears caught the whispers that were beginning to fill the bus.

"Holy shit he actually dared to sit there!"

"What the hell is Jordan thinking? You think we pushed him too far with our words? Is he suicidal?"

"I… I think so. Jordan Lin is suicidal!"

"He wants to die. Not just die normally in a car crash or something. He… He wants to die a horrific death!"

"He wants his death to shock the world!"

"Oh shit I'll cancel my vacation. There will be a freaking show to watch in the next few days!"

"Days? You mean weeks! He actually dared to sit next to the Demo-"

"Shhhh. You want to die?"

Hearing all the hyperbolic words of the kids behind him, Jordan Lin could only laugh helplessly at himself and resign himself to his fate.

What else could he do? His ass was already on that seat. Whatever happens will happen. It's not like he hadn't faced danger before.

This bro had lived for 28 years with a tigress. And not just lived, flourished! You think I'll be afraid of little kids like you all? Bah. Think again!

Jordan Lin leaned back and made himself comfortable. 

"Hey." He even dared to casually greet the ethereal beauty next to him. 

Apparently she wasn't expecting him to say anything as Jordan Lin heard a sharp intake of breath from her. 

A second later, she turned around and gave him a very sweet smile.

"Hi." She said in a voice that was in no way less pretty and beautiful than her face. 

At that moment, the only thing going through Jordan Lin's head was…

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You'll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know, oh-oh, you don't know you're beautiful, oh-oh

That's what makes you beautiful
