Synopsis

We all have dreams, we share them with people we can trust, because there are times where others treat your dreams as jokes. But there are people who will back you up, who will believe in you and be there to help you up when you fall down. Sometimes you might see a shining star, a great talent, with unbelievable capabilities. But they weren't the people you think they are now, what they were before. Behind those great people, behind the great curtain, behind the geniuses are people who gives way to others, who thinks of you first rather than their own. This is the story of the Star and who's behind it.

Chapter 1You can't let your past, get to your future, focus on the present

A sea of people were standing on an open air field, in front of those people was a large stage that was set up and the crowd was filled with deliberate excitement. They were waiting for their idol, their star.

Behind the stage, at a luxurious trailer. A girl of immeasurable beauty sat at folded chair, with her beautiful and deep dark eyes, thin lips, and with black hair that matched those eyes that seemed infinite, while wearing blue tight dress that hugged the curves of her curvy body, It looked like nothing could define the beauty of this woman. This was a near-perfect picture.

But something was wrong, her eyes were gleaming with tears, her mouth was hung open and looked like in utter disbelief. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her makeup was in a complete mess. She didn't look like the elegant beauty from before, but now she was a woman with a broken heart.

"Fuck you Allen... Why now you bastard, you decide to leave then after a few years give me this letter and hope i'm fine? everything's fine? NO! Why did you have to leave, we could have gone through with it together! Maybe things would have been different" She was heaving as she said every words with extreme effort.

She sat in silence, while her presence was in the room, her mind was somewhere else. Time was ticking and due to the sheer silence, she could hear the ticking sounds, the sound of her own heartbeat even the blood flowing in her head.

Soon a knock came at the door. She was broken out of her stupor. "Where's my beautiful star at?" a feminine voice said as the door opened. A woman in her early 40's entered the trailer, and when she looked at the state of the beauty she called a star.

Extreme horror was exposed in the womans eyes. "My God Chloe! What happened here? Did anyone do anything to you? Are you hurt? Did something happen?" She went closer to the beauty named Chloe.

Chloe nodded, while her face was blank. She was clearly not in todays mood.

The woman contemplated on the somewhat unusual scene. She has never ever seen Chloe break down like this, she has worked with her for years and this was the first time it happened. She inspected Chloe carefully and noted the letter she had been holding the moment she entered inside. 'That's probably the reason, but there should be more to it' she thought.

"Can you still perform?" She asked the tear-streaked beauty in front of her.

A short moment of silence passed before Chloe said, "Yes." Her smile radiating despite the tears that stained her face.

"Well go clean yourself up. Can't let you go looking like that! Don't want anyone seeing that ugly crying baby right? Let me see again that smiling star that everbody loves?" The woman said while chiding Chloe with a soft smile.

"Okay" then Chloe stood up stronger than ever. 'Thank you allen for everything and giving me the strength to fight!'

Rise To Stardom

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down. His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).
