17 Chapter 17: Issue

[Hellokitty240

- Why is everyone so worked up? Didn't you even try to analyze the music? It stated that he couldn't love her in the dark! If you listen closely it states that he left her! He left her! So why are you all worked up?!]

[Nice smile

- Just the author here popping up in the comments since I can't think of other pseudonyms.]

[Ethanlover

- Does that mean Ethan used her for fame? Noooo I specifically changed my ITube name for him! How could he do this?]

[Skyisthelimit

- I can't believe Ethan did that...I wonder how long have they been dating in secret.]

Ethan was reading the comments. He grimaced, he couldn't believe that a scandal had already been articulated. He got to know of the scandal after returning to the company, what was supposed to be a small party turned into a serious battlefield.

"I'm beat!" Henry shouted, everyone stayed up all night and the work was slowly killing them.

"I already contacted Natalie...She doesn't want to give a response, she said that it will die down anyway." Noah despondently said. "If I knew it would be like this I wouldn't have given you permission to go hah.."

The scandal wasn't that harmful, the people were just angry and thought that Ethan used tons of means so he could rise to Stardom. Luckily some fans supported Ethan and also tried their best to shut some haters.

Although there was a scandal, it didn't stop StarStruck company from uploading the three new songs Ethan had made. Not only that, Henry was also busy finishing the fourth song Beggin.

"I didn't know you know how to sing rock," Henry said. "You're mysterious Ethan, talented but mysterious," Henry said and left and went to the recording room.

Meanwhile, since Ethan didn't have many things to do, he decided to draw. Ethan didn't want to stop just being a singer, he wanted more, he wanted to have a footing in Hollywood not just as a singer but as a director!

They have also received 100,000 dollars for Ethan's performance at NYU. Ethan received a fair amount of money and opened his bank account. Ethan decided to stay in the company for a bit since he wasn't safe in his apartment.

It was already night, and Noah bought Chinese food for them to feast on. Ethan wasn't that hungry and focused on drawing.

He was inside a small room with stacks of paper and pencils to draw. 

'What to draw?' Ethan thought carefully. 

[A new field has been found!]

[Comic Artist!]

[Artist: D+]

'How many fan points do I need to increase my artist grade?' Ethan asked in his thoughts.

[Exactly 1 million fan points]

'Alright, upgrade artist grade.' Ethan thought.

He thought of it carefully, but he couldn't live off of being a singer forever. Besides someday once the singer objective is completed, Ethan will jump into other careers.

Ethan was carefully thinking about what to draw, he couldn't remember all the comic books he read. The movies he remembered also contained loopholes in his memory.

A hero who was loved by many, famous across the whole world, and of course Ethan's favorite, Hulk! Spider-Man is amazing, but what intrigued Kim Yohan the most was Bruce Banner and the Hulk.

But of course, another problem arose, Ethan couldn't remember the plot well. 

[Would the host like for the system to input memories from your past life into this body?]

"You can do that now?" Ethan asked.

[Yes, but it will cost the host fan points]

"Then...How much is the Hulk from 2003 and the Incredible Hulk in 2008?" Ethan asked.

[Hulk from 2003 costs 1 million, Incredible Hulk in 2008 also cost 1 million]

Hearing the system's response, Ethan grimaced. The amount was too much, he was still starting his career and he didn't have that many fans yet. Ethan put down his pencils, sighed, and left the room.

He was in the recording room with Henry. 

After singing Beggin, Henry and Ethan made plans. When Ethan thought of another song that he would like to make.

"I have a new song I wanted to perform," Ethan said.

"Well we can record it and save it for the future while I edit this song, Beggin would be quite harder for me to edit since it requires tons of work unlike your other songs.." Henry replied.

"Sure, but can you start recording now?" Ethan asked to which Henry nodded in response.

....

"Ethan received an Invitation?!" Noah was shocked, he read the email with the others, and all of them with excited expressions plastered on their faces began to gather around Ethan telling him the amazing news.

"You mean I received an invitation?" Ethan asked.

"Yep, Newboard's Music award! You have to go Ethan!" Rachel shouted.

"Well I did receive an invitation it would be rude not to go," Ethan replied which earned a sequel from Amanda and Rachel.

Noah began contacting his friends, he was also helping Ethan pick clothes worthy of going to NewBoard's. Noah was very proud of his young artist, not only that Noah was so excited that he couldn't even sleep at night just thinking of Ethan's success.

Meanwhile, Ethan was also quite nervous, the NewBoard's music awards would be held next week in New York Coliseum. 

Days have already passed and the issue died down. Ethan's five songs were currently the ones holding first to fifth place. No one could catch up to the popularity of the five songs, Beggin wasn't released yet since Henry was busy.

Noah breathed in and out, and he patted Ethan's shoulder trembling. "Do your best, and don't do anything that will cause a scandal alright? There are people you shouldn't talk to, and avoid the ladies specifically the women, don't hold or try to smile with them!" Noah said worriedly.

"I promise I won't do anything brash.." Ethan said earning a sigh of relief from Noah. 

"Do your best!" Noah said as he dropped Ethan off at the entrance of the coliseum.
