Eight year old Cassandra Gothel was sweeping the floor of her mother's cottage. She hummed the melody of her mother's music box. Her best friend, sixteen year old Arianna Corona came in and sat down on the couch. "UFF!" She cried as she held her round belly. "Are you okay, Your Majesty?" Cassandra question, stopping her sweeping. "Yeah, my mobility has gotten questionable ever since month six. I can't ride anymore." Arianna explained. Cassandra frowned. "Don't worry, baby's due sometime this week!". Cassandra smiled. "Can you play a song for me on your guitar?". Cassandra picked up the broom and strumed the brisels as if it was a guitar. Arianna giggled. "I was thinking like on your real guitar.". "You mean you don't like the broomtar?" Cassandra questioned as she picked up the small black guitar in the corner and put the golden strap around her shoulders. Arianna giggled. She started to sing.
"Guess by now I ought to know my place
Do your humble duty with a smile on your face
Mother knows how much I love her,
but she's always doing other things
So I'll keep waiting in the wings

I crave so much
And yet I keep on waiting
One glance, one touch
And I just keep on waiting

And when it comes, it comes with strings
So I keep waiting in the wings."

Arianna clapped. "That was beautiful!" She complimented as she wiped a tear from her eyes. Gothel came in the room. Both of the girls stood still. "Want to hear some real music?" She questioned as she took the guitar from Cassandra. She started to sing.

"Crescent high above
Evolving as you go
Raise what lies beneath
And let the darkness grow

Bend it to my will
Consume the sunlight's glow
Rise into the sky
And let the darkness grow

Let darkness grow"

A black gas came out of the guitar. It surrounded Arianna and raised her up. "Please- I am having trouble breathing-" She plead. Then, the gas disappeared. Arianna's body fell down.

"NO! MOTHER! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Cassandra screamed. Gothel took off the guitar and slammed it on the ground. Cassandra collapsed balling on the ground.



The next afternoon Cassandra was sitting in a chair in the palace sickroom. Arianna was supposedly 'sleeping' in the sickbed. Cassandra took her sick friend's hand and held it. The dying queens' eyes opened. Cassandra was too lost in thought to notice. Suddenly, Cassandra barely heard a weak voice say, "gui-tar?".

Cassandra quickly snapped out of thought. She turned towards Arianna. The Queen's skin was deathly pale, her brown hair was tangled and thin, her eyes were discolored with red along the outside, her bones were showing, and her lips were chapped. "Doctor, she's awake!" Cassandra called.

A young woman with black, braided hair, brown skin, brown eyes, dark pink lips wearing a turquoise dress walked into the room and sat down on the chair on the opposite side of the bed. She felt Arianna's forehead. "How do you feel, Your Majesty?" She questioned as she took her hand off. "Gui-tar?" Arianna questioned. "The guitar broke at my house." Cassandra explained. Suddenly, Captain came in with Cassandra's guitar. "Cassandra…" He called as he went over to the girl and put it on her. "Thanks, Dad, I don't feel like playing right now." Cassandra explained as she let go of Arianna's hand. "Mus-ic?" Arianna questioned. "Actually, I've… moved on." She explained as she took the guitar off. Arianna started crying. Captain gasped. "But you can't just quit." He protested. "How am I supposed to go on playing music when he almost watched someone attempt to murder my best friend with a guitar yesterday!?". "You know, music is power, power can be used for good and evil." The doctor said as she stroked hair out of Arianna's face. Cassandra took a deep breath and began to sing:

"I know we've grown apart, it breaks my heart in two
I miss your company, the closeness we once knew

I won't pretend to know just what you're going through
But I'd give anything for you
Yes, I'd give anything to relive everything with you

So if you find that you're in darkness or despair
Though you won't turn to me please know I'll be right there
Name any sacrifice, I'll pay the price that's due
'Cause I'd give anything for you
Yes, I'd give anything to relive everything we knew
Yes, I'd give anything for you"

Captain and the doctor were in tears at the end. "Good job Cassandra!" Captain exclaimed. "Thanks! Now I know that my guitar's not cursed!" Cassandra explained. Everybody laughed. Cassandra looked at Arianna. She was asleep. Her face was all scrunched up. Her body was tightened. "She's in pain!" Cassandra exclaimed as she grabbed her hand. Captain rushed out to get The King and the doctor rushed over to her side.

Arianna was in so much pain as she woke up. Her whole body was sore. It hurt too much to open her eyes. She cried out. Her stomach hurt the most. She heard voices that gave her a headache. She cried out in pain. She felt something squeeze her hand. She heard the door open. She heard quick footsteps before getting picked up. She sniffed the air. It smelled like… Frederic's clone. She threw herself into whatever was holding her. She heard Frederic's voice, filled with worry and fear as she was held tighter.

Frederic held his wife and child tight. Arianna had thrown herself into him. It didn't hurt him, acourse. She had gotten so skinny since she had fallen ill. He was honestly more worried about her. "Ari, are you okay?" Frederic questioned fearfully. Obviously, Arianna didn't respond. She just continued struggling. A nurse noticed Arianna struggling. Cassandra rushed over to her side. Frederic and the nurse laid down swirmmy girl. Arianna laid down still. "She's running out of time." The nurse announced. "Please, can you do anything else?" He begged. The nurse looked at the lifeless girl. She begun to stroke her hair and sing:

"Once a single drop of sunlight fell to earth and became a cord,
Instead of playing music for the ear, this gear,
Has healing on the record."

Cassandra remembered her mother going to the forest, strumming a golden cord, and coming back looking almost de-aged. "I think I know of a cord like that!" She cried.



That night, as Cassandra sat down, removing the C Minor Cord from her guitar, she heard footsteps to the throne room. As she crept around the corner, she saw Quririn, a man who hung around her mother a lot, and she was pretty sure that he was her father. "If you take the Sundrop you will unleash an ancient curse, by removing the light you will unleash unimaginable darkness.". She put the guitar on and walked out into the light. She played the scale. Quririn and Frederic looked at her. "Arianna is a sweet, young girl. Just because taking the cord means that it would release some kind of darkness doesn't give us the right to kill her off. And, we're also talking about an unborn baby!" Cassandra exclaimed.
"You don't decide the fate of an entire nation!". Frederic stood up from his throne. "We, the People of Corona, decided long ago, that if ever the blood monarch's, Arianna's, life was endangered, without an heir, we would do everything that we can before letting her pass peacefully. As your King, I feel like that it is my right, and duty to take the Sundrop. So that idea is taken under consideration and dismissed." Frederic declared before dismissively bowing to Quririn. Quririn stomped out the door. Cassandra turned around to look at Frederic. He had a shocked look on his face. "I thought he was coming to give a crop report." He mumbled.

Cassandra ran upstairs. She opened the door to the sickroom. Her mother was holding Arianna. "She was crying a minute ago." Friedborg explained. Captain and Frederic rushed in. Frederic took his wife from her. She was seemingly sleeping. "Aww, you're going to be okay." Frederic cooed as he stroked her face. "I'm gonna to head out." Cassandra announced. She walked out the door.



Cassandra went out to her mother's cottage. Using her lantern, she searched around for the cord. She saw a glowing cord. She grabbed it. Black gas arose in the air. She covered her nose and mouth in her shirt. She ran back to the palace.



Cassandra ran inside the palace. She ran upstairs to the sickroom. She opened the wooden door. Arianna was sleeping peacefully in the bed. Frederic was holding her hand. She put the guitar around her shoulder and played.
"Power of the sun
Gift me with your light
Shine into the dark
Restore our fading sight
Rise into the dawn
Blazing star so bright
Burn away the strife
Let my hope ignite
Let hope ignite"

Arianna immediately woke up. Color returned to her skin and eyes. She smiled as she sat up. Frederic and Cassandra threw their arms around her. The servants clapped and cheered.



The next morning, Friedborg shook Cassandra awake. "There's a surprise for you in Frederic and Arianna's bedroom." She announced.

Cassandra rushed to the Corona's bedroom. Frederic was sitting on the bed with Arianna, helping her hold a playful, blonde, baby girl in her arms. "Come mere" Arianna announced. Cassandra ran over to and climbed on the bed. Arianna turned and gave the baby to her. "Her name is Rapunzel." Arianna told her.



That night, Gothel snuck in the palace. Cassandra and Arianna were awoken in there sleep. Cassandra ran upstairs to the Royal bedroom. She met Arianna inside. She was holding a sword out. "Did you hear that?" She questioned, panicked. Gothel step out. Cassandra and Arianna jumped. Arianna smile. "You are powerless without the guitar." She announced. "Oh yeah!? You will regret underestimating me!" Gothel announced as she pulled out her sword. She knocked Arianna's sword on her back. Arianna fell down. "No!" Cassandra cried. Gothel picked up Rapunzel and jumped out the window.



All of Corona searched for Rapunzel. But, they saw no trace of Rapunzel. And to this day they're still searching…

Rapunzel has been stuck in a tower being forced to sing to her mother every day since she can remember. Cassandra has been living at the castle since she was abandoned by her mother in an accident when she was eight. Playing princess since the newborn princess disappeared. Will they meet and set things right? Or will Corona be living in a hoax for the rest of eternity? Read this story and find out!

Aska took a deep breath, then put her guitar beside the bed.
"Hi, why are you crying?" Asked Aska, wiping Karin's tears.
"The song you like, why is it always sad." said Karin still crying sadly.
"In the past, you sang sad songs now. Isn't there a happy song?" said Karin with a sullen face while wiping the tears that still trickled down her cheeks. 
Aska chuckled, grabbed Karin's head and hugged it to his chest.
"The song that I brought, represents the voice of my heart Rin, that's why when i sing you become cry. Because I really live it you become sad." Said Aska with a smile while stroking Karin's hair.
"What is it like? very sad!" said Karin as she picked up her guitar and started strumming the guitar tune which was just a clink. But very beautiful to listen to. 
Aska looked at Karin without blinking, there was pride tucked into his heart to have Karin who is versatile and multi-talented.
"I'm grateful to have you, Rin." said Aska without taking his gaze off Karin's face. Aska's admiration grew even more after Karin finished her strings and put her guitar back into place.
Karin smiled and was a little embarrassed by Aska's unblinking gaze staring at her.
"I am also grateful to have you Aska, you are a perfect man in my eyes." said Karin with a look full of love.
"Oh yeah..Aska, how about ... tomorrow morning we go back home?" said Karin staring into Aska's eyes. 
Aska's two eyes seemed to shine brightly.
"Really Karin? I really miss my room, miss Auntie Imah, miss my job." said Aska with great enthusiasm
"Do you miss Sonya too?" cut Karin, staring at Aska who looked happy. 
However, Aska's face immediately changed when Karin mentioned Sonya's name.
"I don't remember it at all." said Aska, a little nervous seeing Karin staring at him unblinking.
"Sonya's status is still your fiancé Aska? Momy has tried breaking your engagement to Sonya. But Sonya's parents don't accept it, they want it if you say it in front of them yourself." Karin said in a low but very clear voice in Aska's ear.
"You better know now, than it will be a big problem later. You must be able to solve your problems well." Karin said giving advice to Aska because she could not bear to see Aska who kept thinking about Sonya's problem.
"You won't leave me again will you Rin? promise me! whatever happens you stay beside me?" said Aska looking at Karin with a look full of hope. Karin smiled, pinched the tip of Aska's pointed nose.
"I will always be beside you Aska. And I ask you not to think too much about this. Remember your health! that's the most important!" Karin said reminding Aska of Aska's health.
"Do you want to hug me Rin?" said Aska with a deep gaze. Somehow Aska needed Karin's hug at this time. His heart and feelings were filled with anger just because of the name Sonya. 
Karin shifted her seat, grabbed Aska's head and sank it in his arms. Karin closed her eyes, also felt Aska's anxiety.
"Sleep Aska, don't think about anything other than myself. You have to believe I won't leave you again. Do you trust?" Karin said as she stroked Aska's hair sadly. 
"Hem, I trust Rin, let me sleep in your arms for a moment. I really need your hug this time." said Aska as he drowned his head in the recesses of Karin's neck. Karin hugged Aska very tightly.
Until both of them sank into one hug with both eyes closed.

In his new office, Edo seemed pensive, thinking about something. There have been many things on his mind in these two days. Especially the problem of Karin and Aska.
"Edo, don't daydream! answer my question? why are you bothering to help Aska?" shouted Alea looking annoyed at Edo who had been silent without answering her question.
"Alea, Aska's life cannot survive without a bone marrow donor quickly! I have to help him, I can't see Karin's sadness if something happens to Aska." said Edo trying to give understanding to Alea.
"Edo, You can help him in other ways, not having to donate your spinal cord." protested Alea still not understanding Edo's way of thinking. 
"I know, you are doing this because of Karin right? Right, Edo? because Karin you did this?" Said Alea, staring at Edo's face.
Edo, who heard all of Alea's words, could only sit quietly, as calm as his heart. 
"Alea, I told you ... I don't want to see the sadness in Karin's eyes again. I was the only one who failed her, to make Karin such a cold woman. If anything happened to Aska, Karin would be sadder and more hurt." said Edo with a sad look.
"You still love her Edo? you still love Karin right? answered honestly Edo!" asked Alea making sure her thoughts weren't wrong.
"Should I give another answer Alea? you have known me for years." replied Edo honestly there is no other choice but to honestly admit his feelings, If from the past until now his heart and love were only for Karin.
"Then you don't have to help Aska, just let Aska die. If Aska dies, Karin will come back to you again." said Alea, giving her idea to Edo. 
Edo lifted his face and looked Alea's eyes with angry eyes.
"Who taught you to be mean to others! remember Alea, if you still think of me as your brother! do not ever think that you have evil intentions on others." threatened Edo in a firm voice, making Alea's heart fear and feel guilty for Edo.
"I'm sorry Edo, I just don't want to see you sad, I don't want you to lose yourself again." Said Alea in a voice softened a little. 
Edo approached Alea and hugged her lovingly.
"You won't lose me again Alea, and don't worry about me. I will be fine." said Edo kissing the top of Alea's head.
"Alea, tomorrow Karin and Aska will return to N city. Do you want to come with me? I'm moving to N city?" Edo asked, making Alea even more sad about what Edo had sacrificed for Karin.
"But Edo, you've just been elected as CEO, so what about your position here now?" asked Alea, not understanding Edo's thoughts.
"I was forced to refuse, I will accept an assignment from my father to work in the city of N." replied Edo calmly.
Alea can't stop thinking, why all these years Edo's life has always focused on one point, namely Karin.
"For your sake, I will move there too." 
answered Alea with certainty. 
Edo smiled happily with Alea's affection.
"My smartest brother, now go home and pack up. Tomorrow morning we leave. Now I'm going to see Doctor Irwan, to find out the results of my spinal cord check." said Edo while gently ruffling Alea's hair. 
"I'll go first, be careful you drive Alea's car." Edo message before leaving his office.
Arriving at the hospital, Edo immediately went to see Doctor Irwan, who had previously made an appointment.
"Hi Edo, how are you today? alright right?" asked Irwan, remembering that yesterday Edo had gone through a series of checkup processes, Edo's overall health condition is very good. And Edo just wants to donate his spinal cord to Aska.
"I'm fine Wan. How is the result of my spinal cord? is it compatible with Aska's?" asked Edo directly to the point.
"Thank goodness, Edo, of all the donors who didn't match yesterday, and now I can breathe easy. Your spinal cord matches that of Aska." said Doctor Irwan while handing over the results of his checkup to Edo.
"In that case, thank God. Like I told you Wan. I will be ready whenever Aska needs me. Karin and Aska will return to N city tomorrow morning, so I will probably stay there just in case Aska needs me as soon as possible." said Edo seriously.
"If possible, as soon as possible Aska will undergo this transplant operation, because Aska's condition is actually very bad, For the first time here, Aska had experienced swelling of his liver and kidneys, the last checkup result was his heart." ucap Dokter Irwan dengan sangat serius.
"Do Karin and Aska know about this?" asked Edo with a sad heart.
"I don't know yet, because yesterday Aska asked to go home by force. And the final result hasn't come out yet, even Aska's parents don't know about this. Last night I only discussed your donors. You take it easy, I've called Karin to come here tomorrow morning." said Doctor Irwan at length.
"Okay Wan, I ask you to keep your promise. To say nothing, if I donate my bone marrow to Aska." said Edo seriously.
"I'll try, personally what you are doing is extraordinary. Hopefully, with your spinal cord, Aska can be healthy again. Although now I'm worried about Aska's other organs which are now in trouble.

"Maybe He was present in my heart at the beginning of my journey, but you were present at the end of my journey to the end of my life later." (Aska Aliando)

It started just because it was Karin's joke,
in a patient room in the hospital. Karin is always ignorant with every boy she just met. Because in Karin's eyes, all men are bad news. Which deserves to be played.

"Do you wanna be my lover?" Karin said casually.
"Okay ... I want to be your lover." replied Aska Aliando
"But there is a condition, you have to give up all your property.. How about it?" Karin continued in a seductive voice.
"Fine, .. I agree! But there must be a contract agreement letter .. if we can undergo 6 months of this relationship, then all my property is for you." replied Aska seriously.

The agreement has been written and has been signed by each ... together with Aska's lab results that have been issued. Aska at the stage 4 Leukemia verdict.
Karin's world changes instantly, wanting her to break her agreement but fate requires Karin to be beside Aska.

Can Karin survive her relationship without being based on love?

And can Aska survive his illness ... and have to leave Karin and the property he gave Karin ??

'Don't leave me, I beg you..you have to survive for me..if I have to endure for this relationship..you also have to endure for me..because I've fallen in love with you !!
(Karin Aadvantika)

SUMMER'S P.O.V.

        "WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!"

        The people shouted. I paused and thought for a while. What song would i sing this time?

        "we want to hear an acoustic!" Someone shouted.

        I didn't mean to look at Skyler but when our eyes met, he nodded at me.

        "okay then. One more song won't hurt." I said.

        Everyone cheered up again.

        "just wait a minute." I excused, walk to the operator and plucked the cord off my electric guitar and give the cord to him. I walked at the back stage. I get my other guitar that would suit for an acoustic songs and i put down the electric.

        "Summer! That was great!" Jiana exclaimed.

        "i'm not yet done." I smiled at her.

        "you're going to play an acoustic, right?"

        "yeah."

        "i'll set up the stage for you." Before i can say something, she already grabbed the nearest stool and got out at stage.

        I waited for her to get back after a few seconds.

        "go on. It's ready."

        I strapped the guitar across my upper body. "thanks!" I grinned at her then stepped out of the stage.

        People made up a very loud noise again.

        I waved at them.

        I see the stool which Jiana grabbed earlier standing at the edge of the front stage, just a feet away and the mic stand being lowered down.

        I reached the cord the operator offered to me and connected my guitar to it.

        Then i approached the spot Jiana had prepared. I sit down and settled myself. I can't help feeling like so proud of myself that i am up here and they are on my feet, calling my name, wooing at me, idolizing me. I feel so powerful and like all centers at me. Only me. It really feels so great that i can't wipe the smile off of my face.

        Maybe you wonder where's my boyfriend and his band. Well, i haven't told them about this. My performing here. Why? Because i want to perform solo and i want to only have this moment for myself. Selfish? Yeah. Sometimes that's me.

        "i'm back again." I said to my audience. "ready to hear it everyone?"

        "YEAH!"

        "so let's get started." I said and started plucking my guitar. The mic's just few inches away from my mouth.

        I know this song doesn't fit me. But i like it.

        Waking up to see that everything is okay
        The first time in my life
        And now it's so great..
        Slowing down, look around
        And i am so amazed..
        Thinking 'bout little things
        That make life great..
        I wouldn't change a thing about it..
        This is the best feeling...

        Coz innocence is brilliant,
        I hope that it will stay,
        This moment is perfect,
        Please don't go away
        I need you now
        And i hold on to it
        Don't you let it pass you by...

        And i went on in my song. After singing the last part the people applaused. I gave them a very grateful smile.

        "thank you guys and gals for listening to me and being here." I paused for a moment to wait for the noise to die down. "there will be other performers and you'll see me performing in some places and time again. So this is not a good bye. You can catch up on me performing in a band if you see me. Well, that's all and thank you again." I bowed at them and returned at the back stage. The wide grin's still plastered in my face and the very great feeling's flowing through my body. I know i did amazing there. Just base on how people enjoyed in my performance.

        I'd just put my guitar at the side and i'd taken a few gulps of my mineral water. When i heard someone.

        "Summer!"

        I froze. And my heart beats fast. I'm stammering while closing my opened bottle, put it on the table and turn around.

        "d-dad---"

        A big hand has been thrown at my cheek and it feels like burning. I'm nearly sent to the ground but i managed to hold on the table. I put my hand at my burning cheek and it feel so hot.

        I looked at my dad again. Tears attempting to flow out from my eyes but i blinked it back.

        I see deep anger in my dad's eyes. Burning anger at me.

        "this is--this is what you're doing?" He's panting in anger.

        "you know that i love music--" Another hand threwn to my cheek again. To my left cheek and now both sides of my face are burning in pain. I've been swayed at the side but i managed to keep my balance. The first slap is more painful, i can feel.

        "this is what you've been doing?! How long have you been doing this?!" He yelled at me. "doing this behind me!"

        I can't find my words. It just won't get out of my mouth. I gulped hardly. I feel afraid, sorry, pain, and anger at the same time.

        "you won't answer me?" He shoved past at me. I followed him and more fear surged to me when he held up my guitar that i'd just put down.

        "no! Please!" I tried to snatch it out of his hands but he had banged it to the floor. Loudly. And it's been destroyed. Lucky no one can hear us because of the loud noise outside.

        "i told you!" He pointed me. "i told you a long time ago that i don't want any of this! This bullshit!" He eyed my other music thing. "associated in our lives anymore!"

        "i love music..." I whispered.

        "you-- what?!" He grabbed my elbow, lifted his hands again and i closed my eyes because i know it's coming. His third slap at me. But seconds passed it hadn't landed at my face. I opened my eyes and saw Skyler. Holding up my father's hand that is about to come to my face a few inches before.

        Skyler pulled me away from my father. He looked down at me. He's holding both of my shoulders. He's trying to catch my gaze but i don't want to look at him.

        "Summer, don't worry." He gently said.

        "you're out of this West boy." Dad said to Skyler.

        "you'd laid 2 hands on her. That's an abuse." Skyler responded with a hard tone in his voice and faced my father.

        No. i don't want any of this. I don't want this. I prepared myself. Then i started to rush out of the backstage and out of the crowd. I heard Skyler shouting my name but i didn't turn. I run and run and run. I just run until i got out of the school's property and at the road already. I'm feeling numb. I stopped running. I walk while still panting.

        I'm about to cross a road absentmindedly, without looking at the sides. I heard the car's beep but it's so close to me already.

        Then a hand grabbed me out of the way and i got chained by the strong arms, my face against his solid chest. He's panting hard. His chest up and down. I feel his warm. We stayed like that for a minute.

        I just can't believe what happened. I thought i'm going to die.

        "what are you doing Summer?!" He scolded me and i feel the vibration of his chest when he talks.

        Then i realized our situation. I pulled myself away from him and turn back from walking but he grabbed my hand.

        "where are you going?"

        "leave me alone!" I snapped, not looking at him. I tried to pull my hand off his grip. "please." I want to get away from anyone so that i could cry out these feelings. "please, leave me alone." I tried to pull again but instead of letting me go, he pulled me to him, he pulled my waist and chained me in his body. He's so strong that even though how many times i tried to get free from him, he's even pulling me closer to him. I give up. Give up struggling and hot tears flow freely from my eyes to my cheek. I smelled freely his cologne. I know i'm soaking his polo by my tears but he seems not to care. He loosened his hold at me. He's rubbing my back and comforting me. Thank god, no one can see us. No one can see me in this moment.

        "why--can't he--understand me?" I said in between sobs. "why can't he let me be happy?" Skyler pulled me behind to a closer tree with him. So that no one could see us. He's still closing me in his arms. "i love music. It's my life." I continued blabbering. It's dark out here but i don't care. I feel safe in Skyler's arms. I feel safe with him and better. He's still silent all this time. I know he's letting me push everything out. "but i can't blame him. It's my fault mom's dead."

        "how can you say that?" Skyler finally talked. I told him the story.

My Flashback: i was 9 years old

        "sleep tight now, darling. You'll have a big day tomorrow." Mom kissed me good night on my forehead. "good night."

        "good night too, mom." I smiled at her. She stood up and walked to the door. She turned off the light before getting out.

        The next day..

        I'm at the backstage. Practicing my piece for the competition. I'm plucking my guitar and mom's beside me. I'm in the middle of the song when a string got broken. I looked at my mom, alarmed. We knew the rule of the competition that no one will share things especially instruments. I started to cry but mom comforted me. She looked at her wristwatch.

        "don't worry darling. We still have time." She wiped my tears. "i'll buy you a new one. Just wait for me here, okay?"

        I noded.

        "don't worry, we can do this. I got to go." She kissed my cheek, hugged me and smiled assuringly at me.

        She stood up then and gone out of the backstage.

        I waited for mom. My father is a bit against of my joining the contest because he don't want me to feel sad if i lose. But it's a contest so it's either winning or losing.

THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.

        Shaira, Summer's mother just done at the counter and now, going out of the instrument store with a new guitar in her hands for her daughter.

        She smiled at the thought of her daughter. She's very supportive to her. Music is Shaira's passion too. She's the one who introduced it to Summer and now, Summer loved it too.

        She looked up her wristwatch. She then hurry up to her car at the side. She got in and drive immediately.

        She won't make it if she's not going to speed up the car. So she doubled her speed. Overlapping other cars. But a van suddenly appeared and it's too late before she noticed it. She tried to avoid it and did but instead her car bumped a giant tree horribly.

        The car's front has been destroyed. Shaira's bleeding and full of wounds, she even got injuries. She's barely breathing. She forced her eyes to be open. She slowly looked at beside her. The guitar she bought for Summer had been ruined too. She wants to touch it but her hands feel numb and her body's in agonizing pain.

        A tear fell from her eyes.

        I'm sorry darling. I can't make it.

        The sound of ambulance and police cars roared in her ears. Her eyelids shut close and her breathing stopped.

        Summer has been waiting at the back stage. Full of hope that her mom would arrive soon just in time of her number.

        Her turn already come, but her mother had not yet arrived. She's pacing back in forth and nearly cried when her father showed up.

        "dad! Mom's not yet here. She's gone to get a new guiatar because mine had got a broken string."

        Shawn ducked to face his daughter. He hugged her tightly.

        Summer hugged back.

        "dad, don't worry. I trust mom. She would make it---"

        "--she's gone." He cutted her. "she's gone, Summer."

        "gone? What do you mean gone?"

        "dead. Your mother's dead."

        "no! Sh-she can't be dead!" Summer struggled to let go of her father. But Shawn tightened his grip to her daughter.

        Summer's denying everything her dad had said that her mother's gone. Tears flowed down from her eyes. She don't mind everyone at the back stage turn to their direction.

        Shawn carried Summer and brought her to the scene where Shaira's car had bumped at the roadside.

        "Summer, i want to ask you something." Shawn said to her daughter. "i want you to forget music. I don't want to hear anything about it. Especially not from you. And i don't want to remember your mom's death because of your stupid music thing."

        Summer noded absentmindedly. She's still crying in seeing her mom being carried away.

        "mom.. This--c-can't be--true d-dad.. Mom.." She sobed. Shawn hugged her daughter again and tears flowed from his eyes as well.

        "this is true darling y-your mom's d-dead."

        Summer cried a lot.

It's been about a month since I have been born. My mother and I were released a week after I was born. So far it's been really boring being a baby again. All I've done so far is eat, sleep, poop, and repeat.

(A/N warning info dump, P.S. I'm not good at naming)
My mother is a hero. She is the Shark hero: Sharky. She is in the top 15 heroes in the hero community. Her quirk is 'Shark', this is a mutant quirk. She has all the abilities of a shark such as Fast Healing, Electroreception Sixth Sense(can sense electromagnetic fields/waves), Advanced Sight and Night Vision, Highly Advanced Smell, Pressure and Vibration Sense, Super Speed, and Super Strength. 'Fast Healing' will let his mother heal extremely fast. 'Electroreception Sixth Sense' Allows her to sense any person or animal around them due to the fact that all living organisms generate a small amount of electricity. 'Advanced Sight and Night Vision' allows them to see really well at night. 'Highly Advanced Smell' gives her an incredible sense of smell, she can smell blood underwater from 10 miles away. 'Pressure and Vibration Sense' allows her to sense movements underwater from the smallest wave. 'Super Speed' allows her to swim at 95 mph and when she is in the water she can transform her legs into shark fins, when she is over the water she can run at 50 mph. Super Strength allows her to lift 1 Ton(2,000 lbs). She also has the physique of a shark, her front is white while her backside is dark blue, She has a large fin on her back, gills on her neck she uses to breath when under water(she can also breath on air obviously), and super sharp razor teeth. The down side to her power is that she is significantly weaker when she is on land than she is in the water. Another downside to her power is that her fin is a slight inconvenience I'd say to day life. Even though she has 'Electroreception Sixth Sense' she is considerably weaker to getting shocked. A weakness to 'Advanced Sight and Night Vision' is that she is sensitive to bright lights.

My father is also a hero. He is the Perfect Hero: Perfectionist. He is in the top 10 heroes in the hero community because of how perfectly handsome he looks. His quirk is 'Personal Mastery'. His quirk allows him to  Control everything related himself. He can control his Friction, Density, Gravity, Inertia, Magnetism, Space, Time, Weight, and Personal Chemicals(A/N basically control all the chemicals in his body). The way he uses his quirk with 'Friction' is that he can manipulate the friction around him(A/N generates a frictionless force-field that deflects attacks and allows him to slide rapidly). When using it on 'Density' he can create, shape and manipulate his own density. This can range from enhancing it to acquire heightened durability, increased weight and amplified strength to diminishing it to acquire intangibility, decreased weight and even levitation and/or flight capabilities. For 'Gravity' He can manipulate their personal gravitational field, allowing them to make themselves heavy or light, cause themselves to fall toward any direction instead of the earth, levitate and adapt to the gravity of other worlds. For 'Inertia' He can create, shape and manipulate his own personal inertia. He can change the amount of resistance his own matter in motion rest, increasing, decreasing and/or maintaining it, making him resistant to acceleration, make himself completely immovable/unstoppable, etc. For 'Magnetism' he can create, shape and manipulate his personal magnetic field, allowing him to affect ferrous materials, attract/repel objects/entities with dissimilar/similar polar charges and/or damage the workings of mechanical/ technological devices. For 'Space' he can manipulate his personal space, making it so he can fit in small or tight spaces no one would normally not fit in, or even going far distances without destroying or going through walls. For 'Time' it allows him to use accelerated perception, and he can control his age. For 'Weight' he can create, shape and manipulate their own weight. For 'Personal Chemicals' he can manipulate the chemicals in his body(Body fluid, Hormones, Etc.). For the weaknesses of his powers is that it took a long time to master each one(A/N) in reality too lazy to type each individual weakness per sub power).

At first it was really awkward for me to be Breast feeding not only because on the inside I am a 25 year old man, but because her quirk makes her half-Shark. She had the breast but it was extremely difficult to suck because they were hard and because her skin was scratchy and itchy. So what they did was use the milk pumps and put it in a bottle to feed me.

Since it's been a month since I have been born I decided to create my very first quirk. Since I haven't had my quirk test(A/N where the doctor checks to see what quirk(s) a person has) I wanted to take precautions against All For One. So I decided to create a quirk that allows me to keep it.

"Hey Sabrina, I need your assistance in creating the next quirk." I say.

[Okay Rex, What do you need help with? What are the parameters of the quirk you wish to create?]

"The parameters of the quirk I wish to create is a quirk That allows me to keep any quirks that I create or acquire."

[I will be able to create that but you will have to be unconscious for it to be created and then integrated into your body.]

"How long will I be asleep for?" I ask.

[You will be asleep for about 10 hours.]

"Okay but can I do that when I go to bed?" I ask.

That night my father was feeding my the bottle full of my mother's milk. I drank it peacefully and sat their waiting for them to finish their dinner and go to bed so I could go to bed and integrate my new quirk.

That night when I went to bed I was readying myself for the integration/creation of my new quirk.

"Will it hurt?" I ask.

[No, since you are unconscious you will not feel a thing. But when you wake up you will get a little headache.]

"That's fine just do it." I say.

[Commencing in 3...2...1]

And I lost consciousness.

~10 hours later~

I wake up to a small headache.

"Hey Sabrina, Can I see my status?" I ask.

[Yes Rex, here you go]

(A/N these are all I could think of. I will create more later, maybe)

Right now we are at the doctor's office to get my quirk checked(A/N it's when the doctor checks what quirk you have).

"Your son has an extremely special and unique quirk. He has the quirk: Quirk Creation." The Doctor said.

"What does that mean?" Asked my Mother.

"It means that your son has the ability to create quirks." Doctor said.

"That's amazing!" Exclaimed my father.

"That truly is an amazing quirk. But Doctor can we please keep this confidential for the safety of my child?" Asks my mother.

"Sure. But out of curiosity why?" Asks the Doctor.

"The reason why I wish to keep this confidential is because I don't want villains to try and take advantage of my sons quirk and use him for evil. So the only times I will tell what his quirk is when he goes to school." She says.

"Okay That can be arranged." Said the Doctor.

When we finished we left to celebrate the fact that I got a quirk.

"Hey Rex, What do you want as a reward for Acquiring your quirk?" Asks my father.

"I wanna learn music. Can I go learn music?" I ask my parents.

"Yes, as a reward we will give you lessons. But first let's go get you an instrument." My mother said.

~20 minutes later~
We arrive in front of a music store. When we enter the store as far as my eyes could see where an assortment of different instruments. There was a large variety of instruments from all over the world.

"Hello dear customers, my name is Mika Jiro and I am the manager. How can I be of service." Asked a salesperson.

I was in awe, I couldn't believe the person who is helping us is Kyoka's mother.(A/N Mc has a crush on her.)

"Yes please. My son would like to learn how to play an instrument. Do you have any recommendations for a beginner musician?" Asked my mother.

"Wait. Are you the shark hero: Sharky?" Mila asks.

"Yes I am. Are you a fan?" She asks.

"Yes I am, you and your husband are one of my favorite heroes." She said.

"Really. Most people are afraid of me the moment they see me because of the way my quirk makes me look." Mom Said.

"I'm sorry for getting off track. What kind of instrument is he interested in playing?" Asks Mika.

"Well sweetie, what instrument do you wish to learn?" Asks my mother.

"I wanna learn how to play that." I say pointing at the electric guitar.(M/C pretends to be a little kid)

"So you want to learn how to play the guitar? What genre of music do you like?" She asks.

"I like it all." I said.

"If you would like you could join my daughter while learning how to play." She offered.

"If that is okay, than sure. Rex do you want to join Miss. Jiro's daughter?" My mother asked.

"If you are ready you can pick out which instrument you want to learn how to play. When you have chosen the instrument you wish to play you may join my daughter in the back room, right now she is preparing for her next lesson. And if you are wondering what she looks like she has the same quirk as me." She said. Holding her plug like earlobes.

"You heard her Rex, go find the instrument you wish to play. I will be waiting for you to finish." Mom Said.

"Ok." I said happily walking over to the music stands.

While my mom was paying for lessons and signing an autograph I grab a Black Fender Diesel. Because of one of the I've created 'Musical Intuition' the moment I touched it, it felt as though I have been playing many years. 

After I grab the guitar I went to the back room, when I entered I saw a little girl she is wearing a blue and white striped dress. She has triangular, lazy-looking onyx eyes with notably long lower eyelashes, and rather small eyebrows. Her hair is short, only around chin length, and is dark purple in color with an asymmetrical fringe, and two reflections shaped like sound waves on either side of her head. Her most prominent features are the flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes at the end of two thin cords. She is sitting in a chair holding a guitar. She seemed to be tuning it, when she finished she looked up and noticed me.

"Hel~lo. My name is Kyoka Jiro. It's. Nice to meet you. What's your name?" She asks.

"Hi my name is Rex Takahashi. It's nice to meet you too." I said introducing myself.

"What's your quirk? Mine is earphone jack. My quirk allows me to plug the jacks that hang from my earlobes into all sorts of things and channel the sound of my heartbeat into them; causing havoc inside the plugged objects. It's also used to catch sounds and vibrations from my surroundings." She said smiling while using her finger to twirling with her earlobes.

"That's cool. My quirk is quirk creation." I said proudly.

"What does that mean? What quirks can you make?" She asks.

"If I tell you about my quirk, will you promise not to tell anyone? Including your parents?" I ask.

"Okay Fine. Just tell me." She Said.

"Okay. My quirk allows me to create a brand new quirk, or create a quirk that already exists but making it much stronger or better." I informed her.

"Then have you created any quirks yet?" She asked.

"Why Yes I have. Right now my body can only contain 14 quirks. But if I can train my body, I will be able to hold more." I said.

"What are the 14 quirks that you have?" She asked.

"Well as you know my first quirk is quirk creation. My second quirk is a secret that I can not tell…(A/N I'm too lazy to write each one but this is where he tells Kyoka about each of his quirks, but he didn't tell her about quirk 13)." I said. 

As soon as I finished telling her my quirks Mika walks into the room holding a guitar.

"I see you have already meet my daughter." She Said.

"Are you ready to start the lesson?" She asked me.

"Yes ma'am." I say excitedly.

"Then let's get started." She said holding her guitar.

Rex gets reincarnated after saving a lot of people from a terrorist and gained a lot of positive karma. God granted a couple of wishes and one of them is to have the quirk:Quirk creation. Watch his adventures in the world of boku no hero academia.



A/N I don’t upload daily because I work on my other stories sorry. (P.S. I do this for fun)

By now, the Hipsters both had instruments and were set up, Dan on his way back to join her and Lincoln.
They sang an Ed Sheeran cover. It was okay. They needed to practice more though. The singer lost the time part way through and the guy on guitar messed up a few of his notes on the unfamiliar instrument. Nobody would notice if they weren't paying attention.
When they were done, Lincoln and Asia both gave polite applause before Dan nodded to Asia.
Asia stood and made her way to the stage, taking the guitar from her rival who sneered at her in an arrogant way. She ignored it as she started tuning the strings he'd failed to. She sat down and adjusted the mic stand, then looked out over the empty seats bar four.
It was a nice place. But suddenly on an actual stage with actual equipment, Asia found herself hesitant.
An actual stage. She was actually doing this.
"Whenever you're ready," Dan prompted her.
She ignored the sniggering of the Hipsters as she gripped the guitar, letting her fingers feel the strings as she took a breath in. In that instant, she knew just which song to sing.
She placed her fingers and gave three quick strums of the cord before tapping the body of her guitar for three beats. She repeated this, four different cords as she went letting herself feel the deep beat before she leaned forward to the mic as she started the four-bar pattern over again.
"Blood drips on your brow,
Sweat beads on your skin,
The adrenaline racing,
As the Devil creeps in-.
You've lived life on your toes,
Don't forget to check your back,
The moment your guard's down,
Is the moment they'll attack".
Asia changed her rhythm to strong strumming cords as she moved to the pre-chorus.
"So worn down, you're barely breathing,
It's easy to stand out, when you're the only one not cheating".
Asia leaned back as she strummed the chords hard on her guitar, then she paused, lifting herself off the stool to stand, one hand on the mic to adjust it as she sang.
"Warrior, stand tall!"
Asia gripped the guitar again as she continued playing.
"It's time to answer your own call.
The hammer strikes to forge your sword,
The sparks light flames on your accord.
You've battled demons, earned your scars,
Broke down the walls and claimed the stars.
Now they'll kneel to your throne,
A warrior down to the bone".
Asia reverted back to her original three quick strums and three taps for four bars before she broke into verse two.
"Has the battle ended now you've won?
Or has it only just begun?
One thing ends another starts,
Life moves on when hope departs.
Rain washes the bloody field,
Red turns green and green does yield.
One life taken one life given,
All is reversed your sins forgiven.
You see the lies, you're barely breathing,
They easily stand out, when you're the only one not cheating".
Asia paused again for the chorus.
"Warrior, stand tall!"
She continued playing the strong chords of the song.
"It's time to answer your own call.
The hammer strikes to forge your sword,
The sparks light flames on your accord.
You've battled demons, earned your scars,
Broke down the walls and claimed the stars.
Now they'll kneel to your throne,
A warrior down to the bone".
Asia stomped her foot as she tapped the guitar. Her voice low as she chanted.
"Blood and Bone,
Red and White,
Black and Gold,
Stand and Fight.
Blood and Bone,
Red and White,
Black Gold,
Stand and Fight".
Asia paused a final time before she sang.
"Warrior, stand tall!"
The Guitar broke in a final time.
"It's time to answer your own call.
The hammer strikes to forge your sword,
The sparks light flames on your accord.
You've battled demons, earned your scars,
Broke down the walls and claimed the stars.
Now they'll kneel to your throne,
A warrior down to the bone".
Asia strummed the guitar on a single cord nine times in repetition before she let the guitar drop as she sang final line softly.
"A warrior down to the bone".
There were several seconds of silence during which Asia pulled herself from the emotions of the song, and drew her eyes over the empty seats of the bar. She'd almost forgotten where she was, too intimately in the song to care. Then her eyes fell upon the two hipsters, who sat with open mouths and wide eyes.
Asia tried and failed not to smile as she looked towards Dan and Lincoln. Dan leaned against the booth that Lincoln was sat in, his expression neutral, Lincoln with an appreciative smile on his face before he clapped, then gave an appreciative whistle.
Asia humbled her smile somewhat and bowed shortly, lifting the guitar from her body and placing it on the stand beside the stool.
She hopped down from the stage and strolled over.
Lincoln turned to Dan, who sighed, "You got a Demo, kid?"
"No," said Asia.
Dan took a breath, looking at Lincoln as he asked her a question, "You got the equipment to record one?"
"No, why?" asked Asia.
Lincoln smiled, "The band needs to practice your set unless you plan to play the entire thing yourself. You can if you want, but Dan and I are thinking that the atmosphere would be better with the house band playing and you singing".
Asia raised an eyebrow, "Does that mean I'm hired?"
"Bu-"
Dan's eyes cut to the about-to-protest hipsters, "Compared to her, you were trash, get out of my bar".
The Hipsters looked like fish out of water before they both stood and left. With the front door closed, Lincoln stood, "She can practice with the band. Today and tomorrow. Saturday night she'll play. Then we'll put her on Monday, Wednesday and Friday as well".
"I thought it was three nights?" Asia raised an eyebrow.
"You got other commitments?" asked Dan.
"No, I just-"
"Great, well we're closed on Sundays and you can have Tuesdays and Thursdays off. You'll play an hour long set from 9-10 on Mondays and Wednesdays, then 10-11 on Fridays and two hours from 10-12 on Saturdays, sound good?" asked Dan.
"$750 a week? Sure, no complaints here," said Asia.
Lincoln looked at Dan, "$150 an hour seems a little cheap".
Dan sighed, turning away, "Be back here in an hour kid, you can meet the band and start rehearsing until three. Then you can be here from 9-3 tomorrow for the same and 12-3 on Saturday for the same before your first set, we'll make it an hour from 10-11 Saturday night. If you can double my revenue in a fortnight, I'll double your pay, deal?"
Asia glanced at Lincoln, "That…it's very generous"
"Asia Wren, with how wonderfully you just performed, I would say it's only a matter of time before you get a better offer. We're businessmen, we'll get every drop of profit we can squeezed out of you before that happens," said Lincoln, "Now, deal?"
Asia nodded, a smile on her face at the compliment, "Deal".
"Great, now, as much as we appreciate the grunge look, how are you with make-up and clothes?" asked Lincoln.
Asia bit her lip, "I have $57 dollars to my name and a duffel bag full of second-hand clothes".
Lincoln almost tripped as he walked, "Sorry, what?"
Asia shrugged, "I needed a job".
"For how long?" asked Lincoln.
"About eighteen hours now," said Asia.
"Did you parents kick you out or something?" asked Lincoln.
"Or something," Asia replied.
Lincoln sighed, "Where are you staying if you don't mind me asking?"
"I've got a room booked at Humble Hill for another two nights," said Asia.
Lincoln huffed, "Alright, I'm going to pay you for the rehearsal hours in advance, we'll pay you the house band rate of $36 an hour. That'll get you another couple of days at the hotel plus enough money to get you some necessities. You need some make up dear, the stage lighting will wash out your pale skin in an instant. We might not even see you you're so white!"
Lincoln continued on as he went over to the books and popped the register open, gathering $468 for her, a pay of 13 hours in advance.
"Go get yourself something to eat and be back at 11. Bring your I.D. and any other documentation you can get so we can fill out your employment form later".
Asia smiled, giving Lincoln a salute before she practically skipped for the door.
 
Despite all of her happiness and success of that morning, Lincoln's final reminder hung over Asia's head. She needed that documentation, and as far as she was aware, the Hemways had it. Seeing as that prospect was laughable, Asia dialled the one number she never thought she'd have to dial.
"Hello? This is Caroline Lane speaking".
"Hey, Caroline, no idea if you'll remember me or not but this is Asia Wren," said Asia as she paced down the street.
"Asia…Asia as in George's daughter, Asia? The Hemway's Granddaughter?"
"…yeah," said Asia.
"Oh, hello, are you okay? I was under the impression you were-"
"I was…The Hemways and I had a falling out, now that I'm eighteen and have barely a cent to my name I'm kind of stuck on the street at the moment so to speak," said Asia.
"Oh, Asia, honey. I'm so sorry," said Caroline. And she did sound genuinely concerned. Caroline was the Social Worker that had taken care of Asia for a few days prior to the Hemway's taking her in, "I wish there was something I could do, but you understand that now that you're eighteen, then legally I can't place you-"
"Oh, no, that's okay. I've got a temporary place to go that's safe, and thankfully I've just been hired at a job, the problem is I've got barely any documentation on me, and I honestly can't be sure where it is. I was wondering if you could help me?" asked Asia.
"Documentation? You mean like your birth certificate?" asked Caroline.
Asia nodded and hummed into the phone, "And social security number".
"Those things would have been given to the Hemways when they took you in…I suppose if things are difficult I can call them for you," Caroline offered.
Asia sighed, "No, don't stress, I'll call. Thanks anyway, Caroline".
"It was nice to hear from your Asia, and congratulations on the job. I hope it goes well for you," said Caroline.
"Thank you, I hope you're doing well too, Caroline," Asia replied.
"Thank you, dear. Good luck, and let me know if you need some advice," said Caroline.
"I will, thanks," said Asia, "Bye".
She hung up then sighed, scrolling to the other number in her phone that she never thought she'd ring.
Asia hit the call button and placed the phone to her ear once more.
It rang twice before it was answered.
"David Langley, Personal Assistant of Chairwoman Mildred Hemway, speaking".
Asia suppressed an eyeroll at the robotic and arrogant tone as she replied, "This is Asia Wren. I'm calling to ask if the Chairwoman has my documentation on file and if so, would I be able to come and pick it up".
"Asia Wren?" asked David, as if he had no idea who she was.
"That's correct," said Asia.
There was a slight pause before David spoke, "And the documentation you were looking for?"
"Birth Certificate, social security number, medical files if you have them. Considering I'm not under the Chairwoman's care anymore I thought it best I take them off her hands," said Asia.
"I see…" David replied, "I've made a note of your request and I shall call you back at the earliest convenience".
"Wait, I-"
The phone call cut off, and Asia glared at the phone, "Snobby Bastard".
Knowing that she had no other choice but to wait, Asia made her way to the first cosmetic store she saw and strolled inside.

I will not be a pawn in your game,
My sacrifice will not be in vain,
Go on ahead now, your battle is won,
As for me, I’ve only just begun,

Cause I am a Phoenix covered in flame,
Burning my beauty to hide all my pain.
I am a Black Widow biding my time,
I’ve cast out my web now you’ll fall to your crime.
It was my sin, I was just too naïve,
I gave out my heart and you showed me your greed.
But I am a Phoenix covered in flame,
From ashes I’ll surely rise for my reign.
  - From the song 'Phoenix', title track of Asia Wren's 2022 Debut album 'Time Capsule'.

*Note from the Author: 
This story is set in alternate universe where the world is far more multi-cultural, so if you read about mixing cultures and/or names, please don't think it's a mistake or inaccurate. This is my attempt to straighten out a few Webnovel cliches I'm sick of seeing being dropped when they're just getting started and give what I believe to be a more meaningful (and completed) story. Be warned, there will be slow releases if not hiatuses for this as I have other ongoing commitments, but I am determined NOT to drop this novel and see it through to the end. 
Happy Reading! - Jelim

*Click* *Click*

Acheron unlatched the case with two clicks and pulled out an electric guitar.

Sounds of amazement leaked out from the girls as they laid eyes on the guitar. The guitar was an exquisite white as if it was carved out from white jade. The strings were an abyss black, while the frets and the inlays were a shiny, beautiful gold. The guitar head was a finely carved skull with rubies in the eye sockets and the tuning pegs seemed like finger bones.

But, the most eye-catching part was on the body, which was shaped like a Jimmy Hendrix's Fender Stratocaster. Five painted skeletal fingers reached from behind the guitar trapping a purple gas, that was also magnificently painted on, underneath its bony hand. If you were to look closer at the 'gas', ghastly faces of tortured and pained souls were formed from the purple gas.

It was the most badass guitar they have ever seen, it screamed punk rock, but it sent shivers down your spine on this most unholy of nights. The macabre guitar somehow fit perfectly with Acheron's style.

"Amazing!" Exclaimed Akira,

"Oh, A rock fan are we?" Asked Acheron,

"Akira is a huge rockhead, she loved your performance during your interview, she's just too shy to show it," VP Yui intervened,

The student Presidents face turned red and tried to cover the Vice president's mouth.

"Yui, you traitor! You weren't supposed to tell him that!" Exclaimed the Student President trying to cover up her embarrassment.

"Ahem! Anyways, where did you buy this guitar?"

Acheron smiled,

"Bold of you to assume that anyone could buy this. I made it myself… you could say the materials cost an arm and a leg,"

"Could you build me one?!" Asked the Student President,

Acheron shook his head,

"No, this is one of a kind and I only make things for my family but… if I ever do want to get rid of it in this lifetime, I'll sell it to you, fair?"

"Deal!" Akira exclaimed,

"Yui, write it down as something to remember,"

VP Yui pulled out a tablet and began to type away, surely writing down everything that just transpired.

Just then, a student with an earpiece walked up to the group, it seemed he was in charge, a director of some kind.

"Belau-san, 3 minutes until showtime,"

Acheron nodded,

"Got it, I'll be ready,"

Acheron reached inside the case and pulled out a small box that partly glowed yellow and attached it to the back of the skull head on his guitar.

"Hey, that's that thing you made during class!" Sakura exclaimed,

"Yup… this show is going to be… electrifying~," Acheron said as smiled curled upon his face as if he said something funny.

Acheron was again reached into the case and pulled out some papers. He then turned and walked up to the band members that were waiting off to the side.

"Here! These are the lyrics, remember your parts. You have one minute,"

The arrogant bass player quickly grabbed the papers as politely as he could. Their cheeks were still slightly red from the previous slight but nothing a little ice and makeup couldn't help covering up.

"One minute!" Someone called out.

"You girls better go and grab your seats again, I'm sure the old man is feeling lonely," Acheron said,

Realization fell on Sakura's face.

"Dad!" Sakura exclaimed,

Sakura grabbed Akeno's hand and bolted back to where they came from. She now realized she forgot about her dad, even though she caused such a mess trying to get him here.

"By the way… is this event televised?" Asked Acheron,

"Ha! Who do you think we are?! Of course, it's televised across Japan! and we even stream it internationally!" Said the Student President.

"That's great, no I don't have to do it myself," responded Acheron.

With that, the rest of the girls waved him off and wished him luck, only Rose stayed behind.

"Old man? Really, Acheron-sama? Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black?" Rose said,

"Oh-Ho~! You are being quite cheeky today, Rose," Acheron said,

"That's what you get from seducing so many girls!" Rose said while pouting,

Acheron chuckled.

"Aren't we going on a date tonight? Do you want me to cancel?"

"NO!!" Rose bellowed,

Noticing the commotion she made with her outburst, she cleared her throat before continuing.

"I'm sorry, Acheron-sama, I'll be good,"

Acheron patted her head, letting out a small chuckle.

"I was just playing, Rose,"

Just then, someone once again called out to Acheron.

"Ready, Belau-san?!"

Acheron nodded and strapped the guitar to his shoulder and walked towards the tunnel. The guitar members were walking ahead of him. It appears they will appear first before Acheron will make his appearance as he was the main event for tonight.

"Oh right!"

Just before stepping out into the arena, Acheron remembered that he forgot to modify his ghost box. Acheron pulls out a small little box from his pocket, gives it a couple of twists and turns, like it was Rubik's cube, before putting it back in his pocket.

[Ladies and gentlemen!]

The announcer came on tried to grab everyone's attention.

[Is the moment all the ladies have been waiting for! The final main event of the night! Some of you have seen him in action, some of you have heard of his unmatched prowess, some of you guys dream of being with him! Others wish they could be him!]

The crowd slowly starts to get pumped from the announcements. Few have already started chanting Acheron's name.

[ He is a monster in the arena and probably also in the sheets!]

Girls across the Colosseum squealed in delight. Acheron's big dragon has been making appearances in countless girls' dreams.

[He's the Demon King! But also the Harem King! Seducing the majority of the beauties of our school with an attendance record of less than a month! Hide your wives, your sisters, and your daughters!]

[ Please make some noise for…. ACHERON BELAU!!!]

"AHHHHH!"

"ACHERON-SAMA!"

"Give me your baby juice!"

"Fuck You!"

"I Love You!"

"Booo!"
"Make me yours!"

"Give me back my girlfriend!"

"Make me your girlfriend!"

"What a man!"


A mix of insults and cheers rang out through the Colosseum as Acheron walked towards the stage on the red carpet. His fan clubs making most of the noise as the adults looked on. Acheron waved at everyone enjoying the cheers and insults from the crowd.

The only ones not enjoying it were a group of certain girls in the stands that were trying to memorize the faces of those who were trying to get to Acheron.

As the band got ready, Acheron walked up to the mic that was set upfront for him, he grabbed the cord off the floor and plugged it into his guitar.
Tap. Tap.

Acheron tapped the microphone causing the students to calm down and listen to what he had to say. As Acheron's eyes looked at the hundreds he noticed most of the adults were on their phones while the students looked at him intently.

Acheron ginned then snapped his fingers into the mic.

*Snap*

The sound echoed through the Colosseum. All the adults suddenly put away their phones and looked up towards him. Only those that Acheron wanted to hypnotize were affected, while others had no idea what was going on.

"Good evening, now that I have everyone's attention we can start. Let have fun and go wild!"

*Snap*

Behind Acheron, the drummer raised his hands and smacked his drumsticks against each other.

"1! 2! 3!"

The drums kicked in.

100,000 years ago, a meteorite crashed into Earth, granting a 17-year-old caveman the power humans have craved for millenniums, immortality. Though originally a savage and cruel caveman, millenniums have let Acheron refine himself and surpass the epitome of Humanity, basically, a god on Earth. With his power, he mastered all forms of combat, every language, all the arts, and much more. He sometimes created empires, sometimes built empires, sometimes destroyed empires, at times, even his own. Today, mutants with superpowers walk among the public, it is kept a secret by the governments throughout the world, and events pertaining to them are covered up but doesn't stop Acheron from interfering with their plans.

2 months ago, his oldest adopted daughter passed away, she was 96 years old. Though he cherishes all the children in his family, she was without a doubt, one of his favorites. 

"Her last wish was for me to have a normal life but what do children do in this era?" Acheron asks one of his adopted sisters. "They go to school, Lord Acheron," she says. "School? Will it be entertaining?" he asks, "It would at the very least be a new experience" she replies. "Make it happen!" he orders. " Yes! I will do it immediately, Lord Acheron" she says.
He, who was there when the first Homo Sapiens migrated out of Africa and existed way before the wheel was created, will let nothing interfere with his daughter's last wish and will slaughter anyone that stands in his way.

P.S this is not a Marvel or DC fanfic.

E told H to distract Cayden by offering him the possibility to play at a bar for a decent pay, Cayden took the bait and set his guitar down to talk to H about the possible job. E and J crept up behind Cayden and slowly reached for the guitar and its case which was currently housing a bunch of coins thanks to a friendly audience that evening.  Once E and J had a solid hold of the items they were about to steal, they slowly began to retract them. J silently closed and locked the case. Once they were ready, the two looked at H and they both nodded, then they took off running. 

Cayden realized that his guitar was missing and took off running after it as fast as he could. Since Cayden was chasing after the other two, H decided she could just walk away so she did. Once E and J realized that they were being chased by Cayden they decided to split up and see who he would follow. Of course he chased E, who had the guitar instead of J who had the case. So J went back to the hiding spot to drop off his new findings.  

Cayden would rather save his means of survival and the only thing he cares about rather than saving a small amount of money that he can make up for. Cayden chased E all the way to the ruins of an abandoned village with a well in the middle of what seems to be a courtyard. E stood right next to the well and held the guitar by its neck over the well. Both E and Cayden are out of breath at this point but Cayden is now in tears.

Cayden who used to go unnoticed as an ordinary high school student but through the wish of a well has become a prince’s bride. The orphaned child meets his family from long ago and saves his brother from a notorious gang.
