Gamer Superstar

If before it was only my sadder, more rock-oriented songs that found loyal fans, now Lazy Song was finding a whole new and different audience than I had before. Numb and In The End were songs that focused on the sad side of things, on abusive relationships, on toxic relationships, songs that required people to have problems in their personal lives to be able to quickly relate to the music. Both songs had good musicianship so that people who didn't have those problems could like the song and it could even become a favorite song of many people over time, but that's the point, it would take some time for people to listen to the song several times before it became their favorite song.

The Lazy Song was different. It was a happy song, a song about staying at home, about doing nothing, about enjoying doing nothing and living well with it. So it was a much easier song to relate to, with a rhythm that would easily stick in a person's mind after hearing it once. That's why it seemed to go viral so easily.

So once people trusted that I was the real writer and singer of that song, their loyalty as fans of that song shifted from Logan to me, at least as far as the song was concerned. But this was where I wanted to break those people's relationship with Logan. I didn't intend to end his career, because that would be very difficult and most of the people in the stream didn't care about a lot of the things I was going to say so much that they stopped following Logan because everyone knows what a liar he was, but my intention was to put myself in a good light for these people as someone who has uncovered a lot of hidden truths and other wronged people, while revealing Logan as the liar he was.

"I hope you enjoyed the original version of The Lazy Song. Honestly, when I first heard the version Logan was singing, I was so embarrassed and disgusted, because the original song is so good. If he's going to copy the song and pretend it's his, why not look up the original source and copy the song in a good way instead of just creating lazy new lyrics for it?..." I pretended to vent a little frustration.

[It's true, Logan's version is much worse.]

[If he had sung the original version, it would have gone even more viral...]

[I'll check out BlackVelvet on MeTube!]

[I like you!]

Of the 15,000 people on the stream now, I think at least a few hundred to a few thousand were looking for my channel to follow me, which was fulfilling one of my goals for coming to this stream.

"Don't worry, BV. I think when you post the full version of this song, people will definitely realize which version is better," Quacktus said, trying to console me.

"No problem," I replied, "But now, while I was researching who was copying my song and claiming to be the original singer, I found some interesting stuff. How about we show it here with the public?"

Hearing this, Quacktus' eyes lit up, knowing that this could increase the number of viewers even more. "Great, but are you sure about these things you've found?"

Knowing his concern, I explained, "Don't worry. Everything I found has the source from where I found it so that the public can look it up and also check if what I'm saying is true."

"Haha, that's great! Well, let's just take a one-minute break and then you can show it all to us, BackVelvet. I really need to go to the bathroom," Quacktus said before quickly getting up and leaving the view of the camera.

Feeling that I too was in the mood, I told the audience that I was going to leave for a minute as well and got up to go to the bathroom. Olivia sat down in the chair I was sitting in and started reading the comments that were coming in.

When the stream came back from the break, I started explaining some information about a lawsuit Logan suffered for plagiarism and lost, another one he lost about copyright, and most interestingly, an old Tweep of his complaining that his Spokify account was deleted because the app said he was infringing copyright.

These kinds of things weren't things that were going to destroy Logan's career, but when the public saw these other proofs of the person he was when it came down to it, they came to believe in me even more and helped promote the song I sang on Stream to show the internet that I was the original singer of the song.

When the stream finally came to an end, I had some changes in my MeTube and my System.

[9,021 Subscribers] + 2,355 Subs

In just one night I had gained more than 2,000 subs! I was less than a thousand subs away from reaching 5 digits!

[Current Loyal Fans: 4,186/5,000].

My number of loyal fans had also increased significantly, almost reaching the 5,000 loyal fans I needed to complete the mission! I would probably complete it this week, so I was excited to find out what the reward would be.

"How was it? Were you happy with how it turned out?" I asked Olivia, who was a little sleepy but still had a big smile on her face.

"Yes!" she replied, "I'm glad people liked your song. I'm just disappointed that we didn't find anything really relevant to end Logan's career."

Smiling as I stroked her head, I replied, "I think it's fine for now. With his personality it's not impossible that he will try to do something like that to me again, so until then, we can look for something that will finish him off when the time comes."

When Olivia heard my idea, I could see the gears turning in her head and I knew I had her full interest.

"Now it's time for bed. Let's say good night to the others. I have to get Ethan to sleep," I replied as I looked at the clock, which showed that it was now midnight.

Nodding, Olivia went to her room and I took Ethan to our room so we could sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I followed my daily routine. I weighed myself after my walk and was pleased with the difference my status screen had made since the last time I looked.

=========================

Since I wore baggy clothes all the time, which were the clothes the old Noah wore, the difference in my weight was noticeable, but it didn't seem as big as it really was. The baggy shirts and pants hid the difference in my weight very well, especially considering that I have lost 21 kilos since I started working out. So to others it might look like I have only lost about 7 kilos, which seems like a lot, but they have no idea how big the change is.

Since the day after tomorrow would be Saturday and we'd be going to a bar, I thought I'd go to a store and buy some new clothes to look nice in. I feel very uncomfortable wearing these old clothes of Noah's. Considering that I make $200 a day from the drawings I do, spending a few hundred dollars on nice clothes isn't a bad investment. The only thing I need to do is buy a few clothes, or clothes that will look good even if I lose a lot of weight. Since I'm not going to continue with the body as it is, it's not a good idea to buy a lot of clothes that won't be useful in a few months.

After waking Ethan, I went to the kitchen early and went to my mother who was getting ready to make the scrambled eggs we were going to have for breakfast.

"Good morning, Mom," I said as I walked up to her.

"Good morning, Noah," she replied warmly.

As I looked at the eggs she was getting out of the refrigerator, something occurred to me.

"Mom, how hard is it to make scrambled eggs?" I asked, confused.

Of course I knew how to do it in my old world, seeing as my garbage former father didn't care what I ate, but since I'd never set foot near a stove in this world, I'd have to pretend I didn't know.

Looking at me confused, she tilted her head and replied, "I guess pretty easy... Why?"

"I was thinking of trying to learn how to cook. I saw some diets on the internet that could help me lose weight and gain muscle mass, so I thought it might be fun. Do you think you can teach me?" I asked, this time really interested.

Everything I'd learned in my old world had been on my own, or at most with the help of video tutorials I'd found on the Internet. My level of cooking must be very low.

When Lauren heard my question, I could see her eyes light up. "Yes! Of course I can teach you, Noah!"

Stunned by her answer, I began to wonder why, remembering that she had apparently already tried to teach Olivia how to cook, but what my dear sister has in beauty, she lacks in talent in the kitchen, so our house almost burned down in the three days my mother had the patience to try to teach Olivia until she gave up.

Smiling, I nodded and went to her side so she could teach me how to cook. I had three reasons to learn: The first was to try to get closer to my mother, who was the person I was least close to at home. The second was that I was really interested in learning my way around the kitchen to see what level of a cooking skill it would take to make the food I wanted. Since I really wanted to learn how to make food that would improve my muscle gains in training, making it as tasty as possible was essential. And the last reason was to test what was happening to me in school.

If I had a 50% bonus in math learning in a math classroom, what would happen if I had a cooking teacher in my home kitchen? Would the speed of leveling my cooking skills also get a buff?
