Chapter 7: Chapter 7
[New mission available]
When I saw the new notification, I was surprised to see a mission after such a long time.
The first and only mission I received was when I came to this world on the first day.
I thought I would never get a mission ever again and it was just a one time thing.
[Mission: Have your song get 1,000 views in less than 24 hours.
Reward: +1 CHA, Mysterius skill]]
Looking at the quest and the reward, although the CHA point tempted me, I was more intrigued by the mystery skill.
It was a new option that I hadn't seen in my system, I didn't know I could gain skills with quests with my system.
Since I'm doing a mission related to music the title will have something related to that right?
Now...what can I do to get my song so many views in such a short time?
Simply posting the song and letting organic traffic do the work is out of the question, relying on the algorithm to recommend my music could take several days, if not more.
Even if the song is good, it doesn't matter if no one listens to it, so I would have to do it in a proactive way.
-Ding
Looking at the notification that appeared on my phone, the answer came to me by itself!
Currently, my Twitter is growing very fast, as long as I post it there, it will receive thousands of views from all my followers.
My idea was to create a Twitter account and tag my art account, I wouldn't mind too much if they realized that I was the one managing the two accounts, since I hadn't drawn anything immoral, even in the future that would help me increase my reputation.
Considering how strained otaku's relationship with their parents was in this world, they were much more likely to be much more connected to the song.
I could even draw my own cover of the song on MeTube, because honestly the cover of the original song didn't do it justice.
Deciding to do just that, the first thing I did was to work on my Twitter and MeTube accounts.
But here was the problem...I hadn't decided on a name yet....
there would be no problem using his name, it was just a little whim to have a stage name.
When he was thinking of a name, there was only one that came to mind, but he wasn't sure about using it as a stage name.
Ronnie...
was the nickname my only friend used with me in my past life, I didn't know why he used it with me, he just started using it one day and never let it go.
I wanted to think of something else, even copy the name of some band from my previous world, but now that I think about it, that was the only name I was given with affection.
because let's be honest, what kind of name Lincoln Cruz, it wasn't even my mother's last name.
Even though he was a jerk, I think I'll use it as a tribute and way of thanking him for being there for me.
So today Ronnie was born.
PFFFt what a stupid name.... I thought with a little smile on my face.
For my logo I chose to use a letter R written as if it was on fire from the side, a bit simple, but I liked the minimalism.
I used the artwork for my Twitter account as well as for Metube.
In order not to leave my account so empty, I decided to post something.
-Tomorrow I'll post my first song, I'm scared!
Although I didn't like it too much, it was just so I wouldn't have my account empty, I could probably laugh later as nobody read my first tweet.
With the two accounts finished, I decided to start working on the cover of the song.
The first cover would be a doll controlled by threads, but the threads were tangled together but you could see how the hands were still trying to control the doll even with the tangled threads.
This piece alone took me more than 2 full hours!!!
but it was really worth it to see it, it turned out much more beautiful than many of my previous works.
While I was doing the artwork, my mother came to pick me up to go eat, which I did, and I was surprised to see Lori there too, eating quietly, but this time not using her cell phone.
Like Lori, my mother didn't say anything, just helping lisa eat and occasionally looking at Lori with a slightly guilty expression.
But Lori didn't even look at her to notice.
I was exhausted, but I hadn't trained my muscles today and I had to go to the yard to train too.
To my surprise Lana put on her gym outfit today and came with me to work out.
"I want to be strong like you, Lincoln!" Lana said as she flexed her arm muscles and looked at me expectantly.
"haha, okay" I laughed as I ruffled her hair.
Since I was only doing calisthenics due to my lack of equipment, none of this would be harmful to her, so I didn't see the problem with her training with me.
Of course I lowered the intensity of her training.
If I did 20 squats, she would do 5.
with my body, even if I only did a few exercises, those exercises were already straining my muscles to a great degree.
As I imagined only a few minutes later Lana couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground exhausted, but I could see that she still wanted to continue, only that her young body wouldn't let her.
I kept going.
My will allowed me to push my body to the limit.
...
When I finished, I could see how my body had grown once again in just one day, in just one month I would have the musculature and height of a normal 11 year old, since being mistaken for an 8 year old doesn't feel good for my self-esteem.
When I finished showering, I couldn't take the fatigue anymore and just laid down on the bed and passed out.
Like the other days, I woke up the next day as if nothing had happened the day before, with no muscle aches or fatigue from my intense training.
This was probably related to the player's body that I had read about in my past life.
Although it was Saturday, I woke up early because I had plans for which I needed time off.
As usual my father was waiting for me with breakfast in the kitchen.
Seeing how happy he was that I woke up early to eat with him, even on Saturday, I think I would be very sorry to disappoint him if I woke up late today without telling him.
The walk was more intense today, I managed to run 10 km in less than 1 hour and 30 minutes.
When I looked in the mirror I could see that I had a little more muscle, which meant that my muscles were also repairing while I slept, which if I told someone else I would say is normal, but I noticed results immediately after the workout, so I gained double the result.
Unlike me who woke up with no discomfort, Lana's whole body was sore.
Watching her walk like a robot to the table was pretty funny.
"How about Lana, do you want to work out with me again today?" I asked, smiling as I ate the pancakes my mom had made.
I practically ate two breakfasts, with my father's meal before I went for a walk, and my mother's breakfast after I returned from my walk.
For the amount I burned daily, eating two meals was the best I could do, maybe even increase it a little, as this protein would serve as a nutrient for the muscles I would develop in my body.
Lana looks at me suspiciously and asks, "How come you don't feel anything? my body hurts so much!"
Laughing, I reply, "I've been training longer than you, eventually your body will get used too, yesterday was your first time working out and the first time always hurts!"
Lori gave me a strange look, I didn't know why.
Hearing that, Lana looked at me suspiciously and replied "I will try again today....
--------Comment Lana---------------
Lana was sitting perfectly, not because she liked it, but because it was the position that made her sore muscles hurt the least.
"You know...I didn't want to train with Lincoln again today...I'm in so much pain I think I'll turn into a real robot, but it was really nice to spend time with my brother yesterday..."
"Since I have nothing to do today, I guess I can train with him, that way we can spend more time together." he smiled innocently as he looked at the camera.
---------------End comment---------------------
Looking at my younger sister, I couldn't help but smile.
Lana was very cute, just like everyone else in our family, due to her age, she had cheeks with a little bit of fat, a very common characteristic of children.
"Me too?" a slightly shy and deep voice spoke.
Hearing her want to join in surprised everyone at the table.
Lori was so embarrassed by the look on all her sisters' faces that she looked like she wanted to dig a hole to stick her head in,
but I quickly responded "of course you're welcome, but why do you want to train with us?"
Honestly, I was more hoping Lynn would say join me, but Lori was last on that list, the last one was Leni.
And Lori didn't seem to need the exercise.
she was one of the prettiest girls in her school, with short straight hair and white, well groomed skin, she could probably be a model easily with her looks.
I was the only one in the family who seemed to need it, all my sisters had beautiful figures.
(No incest)
Upon hearing my question, I noticed how Lori looked down at her legs before answering, "It's nothing, I just think I can lose some of the fat I'm gaining from eating bacon every day."
I realized it wasn't the whole truth, since he had thin legs, he probably wanted to make his legs thicker, and from the conversation we had yesterday, I had no doubt he wanted to get things closer and this was just an excuse.
------------Lori comment-----------
Sitting on the couch a little embarrassed, Lori looked at the camera and spoke.
"Actually, I have two reasons for training with Lincoln," she began to explain.
"The first is to see how Lincoln's figure has improved so much it has motivated me to start training and lose some of the fat that has started to appear on my legs and butt" she said a little embarrassed.
"The second reason is because the conversation yesterday was really good, I thought if we spend more time together we can have more conversations like this right?" she asked with a bit of expectation to the camera.

"Sure, so today three brothers are going to train together!" i said a little excited, i held out the offer to my other sisters but they all declined, even Lynn which surprised me a little considering her personality in the program, but i had already realized that i couldn't use as a reference the program here, people were not 2d drawings that only had one thing that characterized them, but they had nothing beyond that, here people are real, they have more than one hobby and dislikes.
I learned that on the first day of crossing.
(if you find more mistakes than usual, it's because I'm not at home and I wrote this with my cell phone, so don't hesitate to tell me so I can correct them quickly.
Any opinion or suggestion regarding the fic is also welcome.<3)
