Chapter 24: "A new Path part 1"
In the darkness of the night a young man was sitting on a bench in a square.
The young man hummed melodically while he practiced with his guitar.
The young man had a peculiar appearance so to speak. Fluffy lemon hair and a black bandage that covered much of his face. He was wearing a black t-shirt with the word "Normal" written on it along with some slightly worn white jeans and a pair of black sneakers.
Despite his peculiar appearance. His voice was charming. And his guitar skills weren't bad.
This caught the attention of people passing by.
Eventually a small crowd gathered around him.
When the young man realized this he stopped practicing and started singing while he played his guitar.
*BGM: My Sweet Baby – One Ok Rock*
Upon hearing his singing, the crowd was caught up in the melody.
The women in the crowd couldn't help but feel their hearts warm when they heard the lyrics.
The older ones remembered the happy moments with their respective partners. The younger ones couldn't help but fantasize about the young man sitting in front of them singing this song just to them.
The masculine side transported to happy moments with his partner. And the singles couldn't help but think about nothing but the person they like.
His voice filled the crowd with emotion. Their hearts felt warm, their heads filled with happy memories and their love for their loved ones had been rekindled.
Tadano: "My sweet ♫... baby ♫…"
When Tadano finished singing everything was silent for a moment.
Then, as if a dam had been opened, the cheers and applause fell in droves.
Seeing this Tadano smiled happily at his achievement.
His smile grew wider when he saw how the notifications for acquiring Ikemen points did not stop ringing.
He opened the System Store panel and improved his statistics again.
After feeling the familiar sensation of warmth surround his entire body, he stood in front of the crowd and spoke.
Tadano: "Well hello everyone. I am your good friend the wandering musician and I come to brighten your day ♫. Now since a large crowd has gathered, how about we start with something lively."
Snapping his fingers a speaker materialized behind him. Then he threw the acoustic guitar he was holding into the air. When it fell back into his hands it had become an electric guitar.
With a big smile on his face when he saw the expressions of the audience he said.
Tadano: "Surprised? This is just the beginning. Let us begin!"
*BGM: I'm Good - David Guetta & Bebe Rexha*
As he played the guitar the electronic accompaniment blared from the speaker behind him.
His current ability was incomparable to what he showed in the previous song.
A fervent emotion filled everyone who heard his music.
With each passing second the excitement of the crowd increased.
At some point and without them being aware of it. All of them were dancing animatedly to the music.
This song was unknown to everyone. Yet it was so hypnotic.
The only thing they wanted to do right now was dance.
An unprecedented emotion filled their hearts, those who had been true strangers minutes before were now dancing happily with each other.
Tadano's eyes shone as he continued singing.
Around him the crowd had already grown twice its previous size and continued to grow.
This only made his smile grow wider.
Children, young people, adults and the elderly. Everyone gathered around the green-haired young man, all dancing with euphoria and passion.
Tadano: "Yeah, I'm feelin' alright"
Like everything in life it has an end.
The music ended.
Everyone felt their hearts beating at the same time, it was as if they were connected to each other, it was an indescribable and magnificent feeling.
They quickly cheered for the young man. Expecting more... the experience that their songs gave them was an accumulation of feelings that they had never experienced before and they wanted more of it. No! They needed more of it.
They all quickly shouted.
Other! Other! Other!
Seeing the excited crowd, Tadano let out a chuckle and said.
Tadano: "Well, since I have such an energetic audience, before saying goodbye I will leave you with one last song that will blow your mind."
After saying this he threw his guitar into the air and snapped his fingers.
From one moment to the next the guitar disappeared and in its place another speaker materialized next to the previous one.
Tadano: "Let's make this something so big... that you'll remember it even a week later."
As he said this the crowd roared in response.
Some of them had cell phones and video cameras to record the young man's performance. They couldn't record the first part but they would make sure to record this one.
Soon everything was silent and the young man remained still in a peculiar position.
*BGM GOKURAKU JODO - GARNIDELIA*
The electronic track began.
Tadano moved in endless poses to the rhythm of the track, his movements were hypnotic.
As the track began to climax Tadano returned to the center and the instrumental accompaniment began.
It was then that everyone couldn't take their eyes off his movements.
Everyone was enchanted by his dancing. A few were already beginning to imitate his movements, influenced by the rhythm of the music and the movements of the young man.
Everything came to a climax when the young man's voice appeared.
Tadano: "The moon shines on us ♫… with the light of the Red lanterns ♫… the orchestra will give the signal ♫… A beautiful butterfly invites us ♫…"
Everyone: "Look, Observe, take a look ♫"
Nobody knew how, but they knew what they had to say. Despite never having heard this song in his life.
However, no one cared, everyone was paying their full attention to the young man's dance, enchanted by his movements and spellbound by his voice.
When the time came, everyone was already dancing to the young man's rhythm.
His brains were fried.
They just wanted to dance.
The rhythm of the music couldn't leave their minds.
At the highest point of the song, Tadano's voice was the only thing in his head.
Tadano: A world without truths or lies ♫… Let's all go to the Western paradise ♫!"
It was like something broke.
At that moment they were all one, they all followed the choreography perfectly just like the young man in front of them and they danced to the music.
Finally the music ended and the young man finally stopped.
Just like in the crowd he did too.
Several of them were sweating from the effort and a few even sat on the ground from exhaustion.
But they all had the same smile on their faces.
They didn't know what just happened.
But if they could, they wanted to repeat this incredible experience.
Tadano's side was breathing hard and his body was sweaty.
It didn't matter that he had high stats right now, this dance was highly demanding for him.
Even more so because it is not planned to be danced by a single person.
If it weren't for the evolution of his skill from [Dance-Initiated] to [Dance-Advanced] she might as well forget about performing this type of dance on his behalf.
[Dance - Advanced]: You have graceful and charming movements, your flexibility improves by 75%, you have a 50% chance to activate "Battle Dance" during combat against your enemies.
His joints were aching at this moment and his energy bar was only at 20 points, if he continued it was likely that he would enter the state of Physical Exhaustion.
However, listening to the constant noise of acquiring points silenced any discomfort he might feel at this moment.
Snapping his fingers again both amplifiers disappeared.
And then while everyone was still recovering from the effort, he disappeared into the crowd.
Author's note: Well here we are, hello everyone, how are you, better than me for sure, I curse the weekends and the increase in people in restaurants. Anyway, here you have the chapter, I know I left you without many chapters the day before but I've been a little tired lately and I haven't had time to write more. Outside of that I try with all my might not to throw everything overboard and write an r18 with high Smut but I know that would not fit at all with the current pace of the plot. I'll see what I do. leaving all that aside. Remember to drink a lot of water and that I love you very much. Sincerely your favorite depressive author.
