The New Lincoln Loud

From what I saw in the comments, a large portion of the day's viewership came from the tweet I made and the responses from the people I tagged, but there was a small portion that came from some girls' stories on instaFlan?

Unfortunately, I didn't know who posted it, but if I could, I would have thanked them.

Out of curiosity, I pressed F5 on the page, and the views that were previously at 500, jumped straight to 630. Surprised I pressed F5 again and it was now 646, the views were increasing extremely fast!

Wondering where they came from I opened Twitter and saw that the cover image already had over 400 likes, and the number kept increasing.

I knew that most people who saw this tweet would not listen to the music, but as long as 10% of the people who normally liked the art I posted would listen to the music, that would be enough to complete my system mission, but seeing how fast the song views were going up, I realized that more than 10% were listening to the song! With the tweet likes reaching 1k in a few minutes, the views of the song were already at 865, very close to the 1k I needed, and that was in less than 5 hours since the song was posted.

I felt like I was getting too anxious, so to calm myself down I decided to go for a walk to keep my mind occupied. As much as I knew I would reach the 1k goal, I knew it wouldn't do me any good to let my anxiety flare up in such a short amount of time.

To my surprise, when I went down to the front door, my dad was at home , watching TV with my mom, then I remembered, even though he works on Saturday, he only worked until 4pm, so he had part of the day off today and all day off tomorrow.

"Hey, Lincoln. Your mom told me you were working out at night in the yard, a co-worker of mine said he had some old weights and equipment he used to use before, and since he doesn't need it , he told me he could sell it for a bargain price, how about it? Do you want it?" he asked with a smile when he saw me.

Since the first day I started waking up early and spending time with him before going to work, I felt that our relationship had improved a lot, although we didn't talk about any specific topic, the awkward atmosphere between us from before had improved a lot.

"Sure, when can we go?" I asked a little excited, since having equipment would accelerate the speed of my training, I was even gaining height, in a few weeks I could pass myself off as a normal teenager.

"He said he'd be home in an hour before he got home from work, how about we go out for a bit?" I ask, also a little excited.

"No sweat" I replied with a smile as I continued to leave the house, wanting to take a short walk to calm down.

When I left, I could see the surprise on my mother's face at how my father and I were now.

---------Rita Comment---------

Sitting on the couch, lost, Rita was a little uncomfortable.

"You know...I used to feel like our family's relationships were a mess, but as long as I was dedicated enough, we could handle it fine, but now I don't know what to do," she said, confused.

"I thought I would have to do the right thing for us to act like a normal family, but from what I've seen Lincoln and Lynn (father) talking about, and from what I've remembered of how Lincoln is acting with Lana this week, even Lori started acting today, it seems like they don't need me to do that?"

Looking into the void, Rita said carefully "it seems like Lincoln has started interacting with the family again, everything has started to go back to the way it should be, like he can see where each of the family's problems are and he can solve them all by himself..."

"Was what I was singing what I was really feeling?" She said a little sadly.

----------End Comment--------------

As I left home, I started walking down the street at a slow walking speed, feeling the nutrients of the summer sun flow into my body, as it was still late summer, the sun was a little hotter than ideal, but it felt good to have the sun's rays hitting my body.

As I turned a corner, I was surprised to see a group of children playing, but I was more surprised to see two children separated from the group that was playing, the two children, far away, were. Sitting on the sidewalk, just watching the other children play with the ball, what puzzled me a little was that one of the children separated from the group was Lana!

Just as I was approaching, Lana quickly noticed me and came running up to me with an excited smile, behind her she saw a girl who was shorter than her with short black hair and very thick glasses on her face, which was probably why she was sitting away from the group with Lana.

"Lincoln!" Lana shouted excitedly as she ran to hug me.

Picking her up with outstretched arms, I smiled as I picked her up and spun her around a bit before placing her on the floor.

[+1STR]

although I was surprised by the notification, I quickly ignored it while asking Lana. "What's wrong? Why don't you play with the other children?"

Hearing my question, Lana was a little shy about it, but the girl who followed her responded for her with a slightly irritable tone, "They think we get in their way."

Seeing her frustration, I looked at Lana and realized that, although a little embarrassed, so that was probably the truth and she was also a little frustrated about it.

"Do you want to stay here and try to play with them?" I asked, looking at the two of them.

Upon hearing my question, the girl looked at Lana, when she saw her shake her head in denial, she quickly did the same, making me laugh a little.

"How about I buy them ice cream then?" I asked, making them both perk up, before Lana visibly deflated.

"Ye I've spent my allowance..." I whisper under my breath.

Flipping my hair, I replied, "no fuss goldilocks, I'll pay for the ice cream for the three of us."

Hearing that I was going to pay, both Lana and her friend got excited as they started talking about what flavor of ice cream they wanted to eat.

As we left, the other kids apparently overheard the three of us talking about what ice cream they were going to choose, h ask to see some of them get jealous, but no one had the courage to come to us, so I just ignored them and went with the two of them to the nearest ice cream shop.

Although I felt bad that Lana didn't have many real friends, I wouldn't try to buy these kids to be her friends either, that would just do more harm than good, so I went to the ice cream shop and bought three ice cream cones for us.

Looking at the three scoop ice cream cone in my hand, and calculating how many calories it had, I thought it was probably around 500 and got a little worried, but having the large amount of calories I was burning a day, I quickly ignored that and ate my ice cream happily with the two kids.

As I was listening to the two of them about which ice cream tasted better, a notification popped up in front of me.

[Mission completed]

[Mission: get your song 1,000 views in less than 24 hours.

Reward:+1 CHA, Random skill]]

[As the mission was completed in less than ten hours a reward will be awarded as a bonus.

Bonus: Random combat skill.

Receive rewards? Y/N

I quickly accepted with excitement in my eyes.

[Rewards accepted

+1CHA

Skill: mechanics Lv5

Combat skill: taekwondo renewal Lv5 (Martial art only, obviously you won't be able to destroy a mountain with a kick or something, pd, skills gained as rewards start at Lv5 from the beginning).

As soon as the rewards were released, I felt a slight tingling sensation all over my body for a second, but this passed and returned to normal, this feeling was a bit strange, maybe because my body was adapting to the skills since they were Lv5 from the beginning, out of curiosity I took out my phone and looked at the image of my face projected from the cell phone camera.

The change had been less significant now than it had been the first time, as my charisma went up from 7 to 8 points, which was only a 14% increase it was definitely a smaller change than the 33% I had the first time, but it was still nice to see that my face looked 14% better, was it possible to notice that I had become 14% prettier by looking at my face? Definitely not, but with my 8 charisma points, I was now only slightly above average in looks, to be good looking I would have to have 10 points, so meeting new people would be a lot easier In the future, probably if I said that in front of a crowd I would get lynched, but looks do matter, especially the first time you meet someone, humans are shallow animals.

Now for the main part, I went to check out my new combat skill, I had seen the anime so I knew it was supposed to be one of the strongest martial arts.

[Taekwondo Lv5 Renewal

Effect: +5 in physical ability when used, develops a better understanding of taekwondo renewal, accelerates learning by 5%. Also improves retention of techniques and practical application during practice or combat].

As soon as I had the skill I was surprised to realize that the music being played in a distant tent, which before seemed like ordinary music, now unfolded slightly in my ears and I slowly separated each of the instruments so that I could focus on each one to learn! The process was a bit slow, but considering I was not even close to this level before using the skill, I was surprised to see how useful it was, and that I only used my hearing, according to the description it improved all my other senses and my body, although it was not visible to the naked eye,

If I had to train to obtain this skill it would have taken me forever, because although it was called taekwondo, it was very different from traditional taekwondo, too bad that these skills only appear as rewards for the missions, maybe there is a way to acquire them in another way, but I haven't discovered it yet.

While walking with the children, suddenly Lana who was distracted chatting with her friend, bumped into someone.

Seeing her fall, I quickly approached her, concerned.

"Hey Lana, are you okay?" I asked as I looked at him.

He didn't even seem to hear what I was saying and focused on the ice cream that had fallen on the floor, trying to control his crying.

Seeing what was bothering him, I smiled as I handed him my ice cream.

"Here, eat mine. I've had enough," I said as I messed up her hair.

"Really?" He asks with sparkling eyes looking at my ice cream.

"Sure" I laughed as I handed him the ice cream.

While I was distracted, I saw that he only had a small scrape on his arm, which wasn't much for a kid his age, so I distracted him again with the ice cream and was getting ready to leave until once angry he spoke to me.

"Hey, aren't you going to make up for the shit that kid did, white monster?"

As soon as I heard the nickname this person called me, I knew who Lana had run into, unfortunately I didn't have my backpack now and my baseball bat had been left in it, so the only thing I could use now was my fists to defend myself.

Fortunately my boxing level was at Lv5 and I had just acquired one of the strongest martial arts I know, with the skill level, I could be considered to have trained this Martial art for a few months, far from being a master, but already better than the average person.

Turning around and looking at that son of a bitch's face, I knew I had heard his name at some point, but I really couldn't remember it and it wasn't worth doing.

"Who wants to blame a 7 year old while walking around like an asshole with no concern for your surroundings?" I replied sarcastically as I tried to remember his name to think of an insult, but his real name didn't come to mind.

When he hears what I said, he was furious.

"That brat must be your brother, right? That explains why he looks like a retard, being the brother of-" he was starting to laugh as he insulted Lana, but this time I didn't sit still and listen, I just ignored the need to remember his name and ran at him, kicking him in the face.

That little shit could insult me and I could pretend I didn't hear anything but talk about my sister? Call her retarded?

My sister might occasionally act dumb, but insulting her intelligence like that wasn't going to go unanswered, after all, she is MY little sister!

|||||Autor note|||||

I started writing this yesterday and literally fell asleep doing it, so if you see more errors than usual, don't blame me, blame my work bordering on exploitation, but at least because of that I was able to complete it quickly today to give you a chapter,

I probably won't upload chapter tomorrow as my plan is to sleep until you simply can't anymore, but hey. Maybe inspiration will hit me and I can complete another chapter by tomorrow, no promises.

So the author says goodbye<3
