Chapter 9: chapter 8
"Hey Lori, wait a minute, I want to ask you something," I shouted making her look in my direction with a conditioned expression.
"Hey... "she said
"Sis..."
"What?" I asked confused
"You can call me sis, that's what they all call me" she mumbled as she looked away slightly.
Smiling, I nodded and asked, "so, sis, I was thinking of posting that song from yesterday on a metube channel I made, is there a problem?"
"A MeTube channel? What a channel" instead of being sad when I told her I was going to post the song, she seemed excited, contrary to what I thought.
Taking out my cell phone, I opened my newly created channel and showed her my newly created channel.
"I decided to create a channel to publish the songs I will sing in the future, for now I only have Numb, but I intend to write more songs in the future. " I explained.
"Woah" Hearing my intentions and seeing the Channel Logo, Lori's eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement, she asked me what I was imagining.
"Of course, you can post it, send me the link when you upload it, I want to hear it again."
"Very well. I nodded and went back to my room, ready to begin my plans.
--------Comment Lori--------
Sitting on the couch excitedly, Lori looked at her phone as she refreshed the page over and over again.
"When Lincoln told me he was going to create a MeTube channel , I was surprised, but when I remembered how Well he sings, that surprise turned to shock" the girl replied with a smile.
"Why shock, because of how well he sings! I know it's very possible that her channel will go viral, have you ever wondered what it's like to be the sister of a famous singer? Maybe she even knows my favorite band and I introduced myself to her in the future!" She envisioned a future when Lincoln would be famous.

When I got to my room, the first of my plans was to find a boxing tutorial, every day I spent at school I felt like that group of idiots were getting closer and closer to doing some shit to me, and with how busy I was during the week, I hadn't had any free time to practice martial arts.
Finding a MeTube tutorial was easy, so the next few hours were spent mimicking and practicing as the instructor showed in the videos.

At this point I was completely exhausted, I had trained for 3 full hours straight and if it wasn't for sheer willpower, I would have stopped in 40 minutes.
But feeling the knowledge in my mind, I was very satisfied.
If before I was someone who relied on a baseball bat to feel safe while walking, I now knew how to use that bat to cause more pain and suffering to deal with other people.
I was still far from being able to defend myself flawlessly in a 1vs3, but in a 1vs1 fight if I fought someone with no knowledge of martial arts, I was absolutely certain to win, with a bat and two unarmed people, my chance of winning was very high as well.
Now however, based on how much I had sweated during the training, I had to take another shower, if I had known this would be so exhausting I would have given up taking my morning walk and trained boxing non-stop.
Looking at the scale, I had gained a little more weight in muscle,
Being the result of only 3 hours of training, I was very satisfied with the benefits the system was giving me.
With a renewed mood after taking a shower, I turned on my computer and finally started my advertising campaign, I didn't do it earlier because it was too early in the morning and at that time there would be no one online to increase the possibility of my video getting more views, but now was the right time.
The first thing I did was to post the video of the song.
And the only thing I added was that the lyrics appeared on the screen, with the logo of my stage name in the background, I preferred to put the cover I made in this background as well.
As I thought, when I posted the video there was only one view, probably mine, so I ignored that and decided to prepare a tweet where I put so many hashtags and also tagged a lot of people with thousands of followers so it would appear to as many people as possible.
I retweeted the post with my Servant_Saber account so my followers could see it too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lori who had been refreshing Ronnie's channel page repeatedly within seconds, was excited to finally see that the song had finally been uploaded.
Putting on her headphones so as not to disturb Leni next to her, she was excited to finally hear this song again and was surprised that the quality of the song that was posted was better than when she had listened to it yesterday! However, considering that she listened to the song through a door it was normal for the quality to be better, but Lori didn't think about that and just enjoyed the music.
Considering an idea she had recently, she decided to open instaFlan and posted a link to the song with the title, "Hidden Diamond" in her stories.
With how popular he was in school, his followers had already surpassed 1,000, and all those people were engaged, so he soon public the song on his stories, at least 50 people were immediately curious to know what song it was and clicked to listen, when they saw that the song had less than 10 View, they thought it was probably a joke, but out of curiosity they still played and listened to the song.
To their amazement, the music was amazing! Of course, some people just felt that the song was okay, but those who had family problems, as soon as they heard the song for the first time, they had to play it over and over again because everything the singer said in the song resonated with them!
Seeing that the singer's channel was new, some people decided to subscribe to wait for what the channel owner's next song was, they thought the second song couldn't be bad.
When I was scheduling my tweet, I was surprised that notifications would suddenly arrive.
"Usuario Killerpussy69' acaba de suscribirse a tu canal!"
"Usuario redking2357" acaba de suscribirse a tu canal!"
"Usuario..."
'el algoritmo recomendó mi vídeo?' fue lo primero que pensé.
Opening the video, I saw that I already had 70 views! That may not seem like much, but considering I hadn't even started promoting the music,
I was already 5.7% (I didn't do the calculation just guessed jsjs)of my mission completed! So to further contribute to the growth of my music, I immediately tweeted on my Ronnie account and bookmarked all the profiles similar to Saber_servant
[Hi guys, I just released my first song and would like to hear your feedback this is the link:MeTube.com//h2t44e7h47g3737hs32]
A few minutes after I posted the tweet, some curious fanatical fans of the people I tagged saw that I had tagged these people trying to promote my music and made fun of me.
[This is an embarrassing guy! Stop it! Even if the song is good, people won't pay attention to it the way you're doing it...]
[You want my artist to see your crappy song? Stop dreaming, when you have his followers I can give your music a chance]
[Stop marking...]
Among these comments like this were some who were honestly trying to help me, while others were just insulting me to make themselves feel better.
I simply ignored both of them, despite agreeing with the first type of person, logged into my Saber_servant account, which currently had 5,700 followers, which for an account that was only a week old, was an astronomical number, then waited a few minutes.
Five minutes after my post as Ronnie, I posted it on my Saber_servant account.
[Hey guys check this out, it's great!!!]
[WTF, you listened to her music and liked Saber?]
[It must be good if Saber likes me right?]
[.....]
Even though Saber only had 5k followers, the amount of engagement she received was very high to the point that any art posted by the account would usually get 6 or 12k likes, so that was the main source of publicity I was counting on for my song to get 1,000 views in the first 24 hours.
Finally the last thing I did was set an alarm to go off in 16 hours, which was the time left for 24 hours to pass.
My time during the week was pretty busy because I had to spend 7 hours every day at school , so on the weekends I had those 7 hours free, so I would make good use of them,
I really should graduate early, it's such a hassle to waste time that I could be using for something productive.
One skill that I knew would be extremely useful for me would be computer programming.
To be honest, I had tried to learn it in my past life, but I couldn't dedicate as much time to it as I would have liked to thanks to my job and education that almost spent all the time of the day most of the time, and the free time I had I used to rest.
But I knew that in the future this skill would be one of the most useful for me, both for its practicality and for the money I could get from it, I thought imagining myself creating games from my past life, although creating triple A games from my past life was still far away, I could make some simple ones like Undertale or stardew valley.
It took me 30 minutes to unlock the skill as I had some basic concepts from my past life.
[Programming Lv1
Effect: deepens programming understanding, accelerating learning by 1% and facilitating more effective adaptation to new languages and concepts by 1%, and improves retention of algorithms and practical applications during software development].
When I unlocked this skill, it was as if the programming concepts I had so much trouble with before suddenly became a bit simpler, probably because of the advantage of absorbing the essential fundamentals of programming and the speed at which I learned things had increased a bit.
To raise the skill to Lv2 took me 40 minutes longer, for Lv3, it only took me 37 minutes, and considering the speed of learning was increasing I was very excited!
I had spent my previous life studying this in vain, and now, what little I had learned was only a tiny fraction as much as this skill is currently at Lv3, I think it was due to my poor understanding that the skill had started at Lv1, but I didn't mind so much, as long as my learning speed remained high, I was very satisfied.
In another 43 minutes, the skill managed to get to Lv4, giving me enough experience to follow in the footsteps of the most successful programmers and be able to make my first calculator on my own without consulting the internet, if I studied more I might be able to make a simple game like snake, I practiced for another 30 minutes and managed to get the skill to Lv5 and stopped there to check my twitter.
Looking at my tweet as Ronnie, I was surprised that Saber was not the only person I had tagged who had responded to me, in fact, two other people I had tagged had also responded quite enthusiastically about my song, I also saw in my Saber's quot some perceptive people who noticed that the cover art was similar to Saber's, but they were in the minority, the art looked honestly beautiful, to the point that it would attract the attention of anyone who saw it on MeTube.
My biggest concern when making the art was the choice of colors, my focus was on using contrast. Two opposing colors using watercolor to further attract the attention of the audience who would see this image thumbnail on the MeTube page.
After posting this image, I went to see the comments from the people I tagged.
[Damn man, I have to honestly admit that this song brought a tear to my eye....] Replied one of the people I tagged who responded, making that person's followers curious to hear my song.
Out of curiosity I saw that the song already had 500 views, which was much more than I imagined it would have at this point.
Confused look at the comments if anyone said how they found the video on the page.
Author note:
I just started writing this fic it's like everything is turning against me, not in a bad way but it leaves me very little time to write, the good thing is that I'm getting paid triple for the extra hours, I hope you forgive me for not doing a double post today, pro adult life sucks and I'm new to it.
Give me rocks, my dream is to be in the top 50.
See you tomorrow if my boss gives me free time to write,
He's a nice person but it seems like I have to prove myself since he keeps giving me extra work since I'm the new guy or something I'd like to think he's going on
Now I do say goodbye <3
