The next day, I woke up early. There was only one reason for me waking up this early, it was to buy some equipments for singing. Although you might think, in a world filled with supers ,and fight breaking out, high crime rate, will people even think about listening to songs? The answer is yes, they will.Music is a thing that can ignite the hope in the hearts of people. Like the song made by a French revolutionary in my world, it was a way to ignite the hearts of the citizens, by emphasising on the ways they were struggling because of war and British government.Author’s note: This world is not similar to the Earth we are living on. In this world, France was captured by Britishers after the first World War. So, just know that this is all a work of fiction. I hope no one gets offended.After washing myself and dressing up, I walked downstairs. Celia didn’t argue with me when I asked her to sleep in the guest room. Though she was at a loss for words, when I asked her to sleep in the gue
Flicking her forehead with my fingers, I said, “ You have really fallen for me. I thought you would persist till the end. “ I laughed like a devil. But then I broke into a series of coughs. Then I couldn’t help saying, “ How do those villains laugh like this without damaging their throats?” At this moment, Celia started laughing. She covered her mouth first, acting polite, but she lost control and laughed out loud ,while wiping the tears from her eyes. I smiled when I saw her laughing ,because I don’t know why, but I like it more when she laughs.Mom coughed suddenly and asked," If both of your flirting is over, we can go to buy the equipments Mike. “ Both my and Celia’s face flushed a little, when we heard what mom said.But then we followed her to the garage. Even though we are middle class Americans, we still have a car and a garage. This is among the basic things required in American society. Maybe therefore other countries think America to be one of the greatest country. But the
In the backstage, the arrogant blonde guy was calmly sitting on a couch while his bodyguard fanned him. He was eating something when I walked to the backstage. The guide brother was still with me. He said to me," Little Brother, are you sure you want to take part in the competition? I have heard that there are many geniuses of some rich families taking part in this competition. That blonde guy is recognised by many as the genius of geniuses. So, do you really want to take part in this competition? "When I heard guide brother's words , I smiled and said, "It's okay, guide brother. I think I want to take part in this competition. If I leave right now, that blonde guy might think I am afraid of him. My parents have taught me not to turn my back in case of a challenge. Winning or losing is a second thing. "The guide brother nodded his head with a hint of appreciation. The guide brother thought, 'This kid...He really is something. Even if he loses, he is a talent worth to be cultivated.
The name of Chord is famous all over the world, not just because it sells the best quality musical instruments, but also because it has signed with many famous musicians and singers by themselves. Making them one of the major business family in the music industry. The Chords are owned by the Lee family. Although this family isn't native to America, they could still hold on to their business in such a country where racism is the most problematic for families who migrate to the United States.Author's note : If any of you are offended by my words in this novel ,please ignore those words, because it isn't just U.S. where racism happens, but it is still the place where racism happens the most.After Sasha ,the brunette singer, was done with introducing the participants and judges, the competition begun. For the first round, the participants were given the song for which they would have to play the music for.This round was just to make sure that only those who know even a little about mus
With an awkward cough, I said, "Please, miss. Don't joke around. How can a nobody like me to be worth of you? " Obviously, these words were to get rid of her for the time being. Although I like beauties, but I can't stand those clingy beauties. I have enough on my plate. I don't want to add Sasha to that plate.Since the first round was over, all of us were given some refreshments to rest for the free time. After five minutes, we were called up on the stage again for the start of the second round. Among all those who had taken part in the first round, only a handful of them remained. Because some didn't have any idea on how to play an instrument or they would miss the beat.The rules for the second round were simple. The participants were to fight against each other in this round. They can play any tune but the tune should only complement the opponent's music. The one who cannot do so would be disqualified. Obviously, the second round is hard, since the opponent would take advantage o
This continued until the end of five minutes. Miss Sasha suddenly raised her hands to denote that the time was up . Both I and the red head lowered our instruments waiting for the judges' results. One of the old guy among the three judges took a deep breath ,then he looked at both of us on the stage and said, " Both of you are talents worth cultivating. But since this is a competition ,only one among you can continue to the next round. Both of you were almost at the same level, but obviously one of you is better to become the winner of this round. And the winner of this round is Mike Williams. " Then the judge looked at the redhead and said ," Child, you were good. But you have still a long way to go. Don't lose your hope and continue to practice hard. I hope to see outstanding talents as you in the future music industry. "The red head girl nodded and said with a blank look on her face, "You are a worthy opponent. But don't be full of yourself. Today you might have won, but I promise
There have been few myths about music since the ancient times. Some say that a legendary music can make it rain even in a desert. While some say music can heal people. It is also believed that music can raise the battle spirit of the soldiers in a battle. Even if their number might be less, their battle spirit won’t let them to admit defeat. This is the power of music in legends.Maybe this is needed in a world where people are suffering. Be it supers or be it ordinary humans, all are suffering from the evil in this world.Supers are suffering because of the evil capitalists and politicians who want to control them and spewing rumours about them. While the ordinary humans are suffering because of evil supers who want to destroy humans, because they once suffered. This is the living of this world. Only suffering and pain. Sometimes it feels like this world is a world in some novel or comic, since the suffering doesn’t end, and in either comes back like Karma.After agreeing to my bet,
“Believers(medium tom X2) Believers..”, my voice echoed throughout the building. I should say almost in the entire state, because there were many who were listening to my song in the United States, so yeah. Finally, after singing for almost six minutes, my song ended. You might think I am cheating. Let me tell you I am not. At least in this world, no one has made this song. I had even edited some lyrics and music here and there. So this shouldn’t be called cheating. This is just tactics to win.When my song was over, the audience was still silent. I looked at them; they looked at me. The situation was getting awkward. So I sighed and spoke into the microphone, “What, you didn’t like my song? If you like it, applaud already. What are you all doing in a daze?” My words broke into their daze and all of them clapped. The applause was too loud that it even covered the host Sasha’s words. She was about to ask judges for their opinions, but sadly for her, the judges couldn’t hear her over th
