The World's Plot

[In this world, music is the highest form of entertainment. This world is based on the infamous story: Let's Become the Greatest Musician! The Female Lead of this story is Lulu Kerrin. Her past is so bad it's ridiculous. From age 0-5 her life was perfect, and she was hailed as a musical prodigy. Then it all went down the drain when her family's business went bankrupt thanks to rumours of a rat/roach infection. Her father started to do drugs and abuse her. Her mother began to cheat and became a whore. Then her father died after his third year of his prison sentence and her mother died after being stabbed by the wife of a man.

This left Lulu with the 6 million dollar debt her parents had left her, thus forcing her to give up her dreams of becoming a world-class violinist. She took up more than seven odd jobs and part time jobs to pay it off. During her five years alone she was almost cut up and killed for her organs, nearly raped several times and nearly had to sell herself for money. However, when she was 23 things started looking up for her. She won some money from the lottery and she got some leisure time. She found a violin in the trash and fixed it.

She began to play at a few bars and cafes, earning money and spreading joy in the process. She enjoyed it greatly. At one of her shows, the Male Lead; Blaze Jeneses, saw her and became interested in her and her music. At first he was just curious. Curious of her love of music and distrust of humanity. He forced her to have sex with him, then began to regret his harsh decisions when he began to fall in love as they interacted further.

At first the FL was hesitant to forgive him, then she began to warm up to the ML. Then it was smooth sailing from there. Apart from the jealous 'villainess' who tried to sabotage Lulu, everything was fine. And even then, the so-called villainess was taken care of so quickly that she could barely be called a villainess. Then there was lots of sex, the FL rose to the top, the ML and everyone treated her like a goddess and everyone lived Happily Ever After. Except the so-called villainess and her family].

"...that," he announced after reading it, "is a shit plot."

{"I know Host,"} System 22 sighed. {"That's why the book this world is based of is an infamous one-Star book. Two and a half at most. And you can talk so me inside your head."}

The new Host sighed, scratching the back of his neck.

{"So,"} he asked glumly. {"I have to defeat an overly-lucky Female Lead for the top of the musical industry, and make sure her boyfriend doesn't kill me for it. Where am I in the plot anyway? And who am I? Also, do I get any cheats?"}

{"Don't be so glum, Host! So far, the plot has only progressed up to the point where the FL has found the violin! For your second question: you are the so-called villainess's older brother! As for cheats: um... because your character was barely mentioned in the plot and you've been abroad for almost all of the villainess's life, you can afford to act OOC! That's Out Of Character if you were wondering, Host,"} the System said cheerfully. {"Which reminds me... Host, can you play any instruments?"}

He shrugged, flexing his fingers.

{"Yea, I guess. Piano, guitar, drums, the zither, ocarina and harp to name a few. I'm decent, I suppose."}

{"W-wow... Alright then, Host! See that cafe over there?"}

He looked up from where he was sitting, and saw a small, homey looking cafe just across the street. {"That's where the ML and FL will meet! Currently, the cafe is trying to boost their popularity by getting musicians to perform in their cafe! So, all you have to do is get the job before the FL gets it!"}

{"En,"} he said, nodding. {"Sounds easy enough. Hey, what's my name?"}

{"You're name is Angelo di Inverno! The second son of the di Inverno family household!"}

{"...seriously? Angel of winter? What the hell was this author thinking?"}

{"...I... don't know... Host..."}

"Doesn't matter," Angelo sighed out loud as he stretched. "Let's get going."

[POV SWITCH...]

Patty was beginning to lose hope that their little cafe would attract any musicians to come for a job. They'd had the poster up for a week, yet only the truly desperate ones had tried for the position. And her Mother, notoriously picky when it came to music, had turned them all away.

Well, who would try? All up and coming musicians, or those who wanted to try, all signed up for other more famous cafes and businesses. Their family cafe would never gain any good musicians. Just then, the doorbell chimed and Patty looked up as a gorgeous man stepped through. She gaped, because, goddamn, the man was good looking, albeit he looked rather aloof.

He was tall, maybe 178cm or so. He had smooth, pale skin and ruffled hair so blonde it looked almost white. A slim figure, he wore a pale blue snow jacket to keep out the cold. His long legs were framed by snug white jeans and dark blue leather boots. The most striking thing about him, however, were his eyes. Sharp, deadly, and the only splash of colour on his blue and white theme. Violet eyes, resembling uncut amethysts and outlined by long lashes.

Patty startled as the man walked over to her and she stood up straight behind the counter. She brushed off her clothes quickly and smiled nervously.

"Hello, how may I help you?" she squeaked, then flushed in embarrassment. However, the man only smiled and Patty almost had a change of sexuality.

"Ah, I saw the poster outside," the man said. His voice was kind, and soft, unlike his outfit. "About the musician job offer...? I was wondering if I could apply."

"Yes!" Patty said in excitement, completely forgetting about the man's good looks. Besides, she had a girlfriend! "Yes, come, come. I'll show you to my Mother!"

She grabbed the man's hand and dragged him away. "Mother! MOTHER! We have an applicant for the job!"

There was bustle from upstairs, and her Mother, a short, plump woman came down. She saw the man and she nodded.

"Looks are top notch," she said. "Can you play anything, boy? And what's your name?"

"Ah, my name is Angelo di Inverno. I can play a few instruments. But, ah, I don't have anything on me at the moment..."

"Not to worry," Patty's Mother said briskly. "We can lend you something. Patty, get back to work! Please follow me, Mr. di Inverno."

Patty hurried away, and Angelo walked quickly after her Mother. Patty hoped the man would get the job. He could provide so much inspiration for her yaoi....
