"Wait, how long was I playing?" Tayaw suddenly realized something was amiss after playing his 7th song. In the past, Tayaw can only spend about five minutes inside the void before being forcefully kicked out to the real world. "seven songs, so about thirty minutes. Why am I still here?" Tayaw said to himself as an impending sense of doom slowly dawned on him. "I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Tayaw said hurriedly and he found himself again in his hotel room still holding the guitar. 
"Oh Thank God. Holy sh*t. Hahahahahaha." Tayaw cursed in English as he began a laughing fit out of relief.  After calming down a few seconds later, he took a deep breath and entered the white void again. "That was weird." Tayaw said as he walked forward to the void's guitar stand and placed Earl's guitar back. 
"Well. This changes things." Tayaw said. He did not leave the void immediately and just stood in the void for five minutes. After five, minutes he was again transported back out of the void, just like usual. "Nice…" Tayaw said in satisfaction as his theory was proven. 
He entered again the void and he picked up the guitar. He did not play the guitar but just stood around for five minutes, and he was kicked out of the void again this time, with the guitar on his hand. He entered the void again, sat down cross legged and started to experiment.
A few hours later inside the void, "Heheheheheheh ~ this is practice heaven!" Tayaw giggled in excitement after playing his 100th song. 100 songs averaging 4 minutes each, totals to 400 minutes and if he includes the short breaks in between songs, it would total to more. "I've been playing more or less seven hours now..." Tayaw said in satisfaction. He also found out more about practicing in the void. 
After he entered and did not hold the guitar, he was kicked out after five void-minutes, just as expected. When he held the guitar without playing it, he was still kicked out with the guitar in five minutes. When he played one song in the guitar and took a break, he was again kicked out after five minutes of break. When he tried practicing the guitar and his singing, he would get kicked out while playing his second song which means he was still kicked out just five minutes after entering.
However, when he practiced strictly with just the guitar and played songs consecutively like what he just did, he found that he may be able to practice indefinitely.
 "Strangely, my fingers feel like they have not been pressing on the guitar for the past seven hours." Tayaw said as he felt that he still feels fresh. 
In some days last August when he was all alone in his house in Ironstone during the school break, he tried practicing for as long as he could to test his endurance. He felt totally spent after sixteen hours of non-stop guitar and singing practice, and that was only after receiving his first 'third level' enhancement. After his two additional 'third level' enhancements from his two best songs in his albums, he no longer tested his endurance. 
Still, he found it strange. No matter how great his endurance is, his fingertips should at least feel a little sore. However, after six hours of continuous practice in the void, his fingers don't even feel like they've been playing. Especially when each song he played was more complicated to play than the last. The last few songs, for example are basically arranged to be shred fest on the guitar. 
He also didn't sweat. Even though he didn't sing at all, he should at least be sweating from the concentration and mini contractions of his muscles from shredding a lot.   
Having had enough, he quickly stood up but in the next moment, he felt his surroundings spin. He was dizzy from the abrupt position change from sitting for hours to suddenly standing. He has not felt dizzy in a long time and was shocked. From the shock, he was not able to stop himself from falling. After hitting the ground, guitar then made a horrible sound as it smashed in the void's floor. "The guitar!" Tayaw exclaimed and hurriedly recovered from his orthostatic hypotension, then scrambled to examine the guitar. 
"Huh? That's strange." Tayaw said after he noticed that the guitar was not damaged at all, not even a dent. "Wait. That's really strange!!!" Tayaw claimed as he realized that he actually did not control his strength while playing the guitar earlier. His own personal guitar's strings would snap if he lost control of his strength so he had to often change his strings. 
Earl's guitar has been on display in the shop for months, and he noticed when the owner packed it up that there are already signs of rusting in the strings. Because he could not wait to play the guitar earlier, he forgot about the guitar's condition. He checked the strings and he found that they're actually pristine compared to the almost rusting condition it had. "This place repaired it? Was it the guitar stand?" Tayaw theorized. He replayed back the proceedings and he remembered that guitar glowed green when he placed the guitar on the stand. "It must have been the stand." Tayaw nodded at himself. 
A light bulb lit up suddenly inside his head. "Wait. I'll try that." He said as he punched the guitar. *WHRANGGGGggg* the guitar cried. Tayaw then examined the place where he punched the guitar and found that it wasn't damaged at all. "One more." Tayaw said as he secured the strings with his palm. The horrible sound that came out of the guitar when he punched it made him feel guilty so he muted the strings. 
*THUMP* the guitar's cry was suppressed this time when Tayaw punched it once again with a considerable amount of his strength. Any other guitar would have been broken by now but when he Tayaw examined it, it did not have any signs of damage at all. 
"Good. How about THIS!" Tayaw said as he smashed the guitar with all his strength on the guitar stand. *BAMPPFFF* if the guitar can speak, it would rain curses that would make even the devil feel offended. "F*ckin' AWESOME!" Tayaw exclaimed excitedly when he saw that the guitar was not even scratched.  
"Good. This is good. I'm sorry about that." Tayaw apologized to the guitar as he yelled 'I want to get out of here.' to leave the void.
"9:12. Time barely passed." Tayaw said after checking the time on his watch. He arrived in his hotel room at around 9:05 and after entering in and out of the void, he realized that time still stopped when he has been inside the void for that long. 
"I'm sorry about this." Tayaw said to the guitar as he punched the guitar's body once again, this time, quite lightly. *CRACK* the guitar made a horrible sound that would drop the hearts of guitarists everywhere had they heard it. Tayaw felt the same and he hurriedly examined the guitar. The part of the body where he punched it was dented and cracked and some of the wood is only a touch away from falling apart, the fiber of the wood holding them together. 
He hurriedly went back to the void in panic. If there's anyone or anything that would fix the guitar, he figured the white space is the only answer. He then placed the guitar on the white stand and it glowed green once again. Tayaw felt relieved as he saw the guitar was back in its previously undamaged state. "Oh. Thank goodness. Ohhhhh. Alright. I won't do that again." Tayaw said, holding his stomach in relief.  
He then looked at the words of the 'Arts Record' and saw something change. When he first entered earlier, he noticed that his View Points is just a few points excess of 17 million. This time however, his View Points were displaying '16,643,174'; an estimated 350,000 points were gone. "Hm? Where did some of it go?" Tayaw asked himself in confusion as he replayed the events between when he first entered tonight up to this point. 
"Practice and repair." Tayaw came up with a guess. Tayaw wants an answer so he picked up his guitar and this time, he carried it in front of the words of 'Art Records'. He started playing and he noticed that the View Points are losing 5 points every second he plays. After a minute, the point's loss increased to 10 points per second. He continued playing for ten minutes and noticed that the point did not increase any further and his practice stayed at a cost of 10 points per second.
Tayaw smiled at the discovery. He stopped playing the guitar and did a quick calculation in his head. He practiced for around 400 minutes earlier, or 24,000 seconds. If each second of practice costs 10 View Points each second, Tayaw figured he spent at least 240,000 while practicing. The remaining points out of the total 350,000 loss in view points must have been spent for the repair of the guitar. 
"Okay. So 10 points per second on practice, and 100,000 points for the repair." Tayaw concluded. "How could something so convenient exist in the world?" Tayaw just chuckled, asking himself rhetorically. 
Tayaw has long forgotten his worries about the price of having such gift and opportunity to go back in time. It has been around a year and half since he received these blessings and only great things came from it. He realized that it's like he has a divine casino instead, not some deal with the devil.
"Hmmm. In exchange for some points, I can cut down practice time and focus on other things instead. Unfortunately, it won't be long before I become one of the best guitarists in the world even without practicing in there, so this benefit for practice will not be as apparent in the future." Tayaw said in realization. 
"What I need instead is a lot of time for composing and songwriting. Looks like I have to hunt around for more items like Earl's guitar." Tayaw said in conclusion.
Unfortunately, he does not know where to start looking. He does not even know what item will give him the benefit of cutting down time for his songwriting.

---------------
A ground work for a novel idea in the future.
---------------
English is not my first language so excuse my limited vocabulary and bad grammar. thanks

Although the last two warehouses have a certain value, Ye Tian did not participate in the bidding.
　　 The sixth warehouse is worth about seven to eight thousand dollars, and it has antique furniture from the 1940s.
　　 But it's a pity that there is no cover here, everything is on the bright side, everyone can see it, even if you participate in the bidding, the profit is very small and it is not worth the shot.
　　 In the end, this warehouse was taken by Johnny's second-hand store for $5,000.
　　 The seventh warehouse is some small industrial equipment. Although valuable, it is too troublesome to handle. At the first glance, Ye Tian lost his interest in bidding.
　　 After fierce competition, this warehouse was taken into the arms of the black White for $8,500.
　　 So far, today's warehouse auctions are all over.
　　 Next, those who photographed the warehouse followed Wilson to settle the auction money, and those who got nothing left the warehouse company quickly.
　　 Just when everyone left, they looked at Ye Tian specially.
　　A few of these staring gazes are very unfriendly. They all come from professional treasure hunters, including the Irishman William.
　　 Everyone realizes that a crazy guy has broken into the warehouse auction field, and he will definitely meet and fight with him frequently in the future. This is not a good thing!
　　 The auction payment was settled very quickly. After paying 34,000 US dollars in a painful manner, Ye Tian completely owned the two warehouses for 24 hours.
　　 Next, is a happy moment to dig treasures!
　　 After receiving the payment receipt, Ye Tian and Benny returned to the warehouse area together.
　　 "Steven, are you going to clean that warehouse first?"
　　 Benny asked as he walked, his expression was very excited and looking forward to it.
　　 "Clean up the rock star warehouse first. This is more troublesome. I plan to call a truck for the storage box warehouse and take all the boxes home and clean them slowly, so that I will have more time."
　　 Ye Tian smiled and gave the answer.
　　 Rockstar Warehouse is nothing more, everyone knows it, and there is no way to hide the gains inside.
　　 The finishing box warehouse is completely different. If the things in the finishing box are seen by others, it will definitely cause a sensation, and maybe there will be extra branches. For the sake of safety, it is best to take it home and clean it.
　　 "This arrangement is very good, it saves time, then I will wait for your call?"
　　 Benny smiled and nodded and said.
　　 Obviously, he can't wait to own those high-end music equipment.
　　 "Okay, no problem, you will receive my call soon"
　　 After speaking, he reached the second floor. Benny took Jason and Parker to clean the cafe warehouse, while Ye Tian continued to go upstairs and walked towards his warehouse enthusiastically.
　　...
　　 The first thing that passed by was the storage bins. He stopped at the door and tried to take out the key several times and go in to admire the love of those men.
　　He hesitated for several seconds, but finally held back it. Good meal is not afraid of being late! Then he stepped forward and went straight to the rock star warehouse!
　　 "Wow!"
　　 The shutter door was pushed up and the warehouse reopened.
　　 "Baby, here I am!"
　　 Ye Tian shouted excitedly and stepped into the warehouse.
When entered, he did not forget to turn his head and look at the aisle, lest his behavior later fall into the eyes of others and show his feet. That would not be worth the loss!
　　 There is no one in the aisle, so feel free to dig for treasures!
　　 Even so, just in case, he still pulled the rolling door halfway down, completely blocking the line of sight from the outside.
　　 No need to look at the things on the bright side, they belong to Benny later, as long as the price is reasonable and you are satisfied!
　　 "Hoo--!"
　　 Took a breath, suppressing the excitement, Ye Tian walked straight to the piece of black tarpaulin, and suddenly lifted it up.
　　 With his action, a cloud of dust suddenly rose up on the scene.
　　 "cough cough"
　　 Mistake!
　　 Ye Tian ran out of the warehouse with a wry smile.
　　 One minute later, the treasure hunting operation restarted, and he walked into the warehouse again, but wearing a mask!
　　 At this time, two guitar cases and four Bose professional headphones are fully present.
　　 Although a thin layer of dust fell, in Ye Tian's eyes, everything here exudes a dazzling light, full of allure!
　　 Ye Tian first picked up the acoustic guitar case and squatted down in an open space nearby. He was very excited and cautiously began to check.
　　 The piano case opened, and an exquisite and beautiful acoustic guitar immediately appeared in front of you.
"so perfect!"
　　 Ye Tian sighed, and then looked at the musician's signature on the guitar box. The sign was 'Slash' in slick English, very beautiful.
　　Slash, the lead guitarist of the famous rock band Guns N' Roses, the 21st greatest guitarist in the world, the 2nd best electric guitarist of the top ten fashion, the famous guitarist in the music circle!
　　 There is no doubt that this guitar and the original owner of this warehouse are both!
　　 Ye Tian knew this when he checked the warehouse, so he is not very excited now.
　　 Next, it's time to take a closer look at the guitar.
　　 This is a top antique Martin guitar, well-preserved, with white light all over, produced in the 1940s, with several layers of halo, and great value!
　　 There are no flaws on the guitar, except for slight traces of playing and use, there is not even a scratch, which shows how much this guitar is treasured.
　　 Ye Tian doesn't understand guitars, but from the clear information, he can draw basic judgments. This Martin guitar is absolutely valuable! Worth the old nose money!
That's enough!
　　 For the rest of the information, just go back and check it online. I believe I can find the answer and get the price range of this guitar.
　　 After watching the acoustic guitar, it's time to see the most precious double-headed guitar.
　　 Put the Martin back into the box, Ye Tian immediately took the huge double-headed guitar box excitedly.
　　 "pop, pop, pop"
　　 The three metal buckles jumped up one after another, the sound is clear and sweet, and it makes people feel comfortable.
　　 The next second, the guitar case opens, and the exciting time has come!
　　 The expected red Guild double-headed guitar immediately appeared in the eyes, with several layers of halo wrapped around the guitar, which is of extraordinary value and beauty!
　　 This two-headed guitar was specially made by Guild guitar in 1993 and named it Crossroad.
　　 It was accompanied by a glorious time, and then it was replaced by another green double-headed guitar before it withdrew from the stage and disappeared from public view.
　　The upper part of the body is a twelve-string guitar, and the lower half is a six-string electric guitar. The creative inspiration comes from the need for performance. He needs to quickly switch between the guitar and the electric guitar.
　　Because it is a specially customized musical instrument according to personal needs, this double-headed guitar has become a unique work of art, and its value is inestimable!
　　 As a former fan of the Gun N' Roses band, how could Ye Tian not recognize this double-headed guitar?
　　 It has appeared on the stage countless times in the hottest years of the Guns N' Roses Band, showing its infinite charm in its hands, making all Guns N' Roses fans and guitar lovers fascinated by it.
　　 So when I saw this guitar through perspective, he almost made him go crazy at first sight.
　　 He calmed down a bit, Ye Tian picked up the double-headed guitar and looked directly at the bottom of the guitar box.
　　 The next second, as in perspective, he saw the detailed information of the guitar.
　　 Slash's name, Crossroad, and the year of custom production, are very clearly engraved on the guitar case, sparkling and dazzling.
　　Although it had been confirmed, Ye Tian was ecstatic to see these contents again.
　　 "Yeah! Great!"
　　 The cheers resounded across this small warehouse. .
　　 Fortunately, the warehouse door was pulled down, and there was no one in the aisle, so his excited cheers did not attract attention.
　　 The excitement calmed down a bit, Ye Tian began to check other details of this guitar.
　　Although I have played it countless times, I can see that I like and value this guitar very much. It is in good condition without any defects or defects.
　　 This is the perfect artwork! You can definitely get a lot of dollars!
　　 Ye Tian is neither an antique musical instrument collector nor a guitar enthusiast. Although he has been fascinated by guns, he is not crazy, and he has no idea of ​​collecting their instruments.
　　 The greatest value of this double-headed guitar to him is how many dollars it can exchange for! Of course the more the better!
　　 How much is this guitar worth? Ye Tian didn't have an accurate number in his mind! Can't estimate it! This is impossible to estimate, any price is possible!
　　 It's normal for custom guitars used by famous rock musicians to sell for tens of millions of dollars.
　　The most expensive guitar is the electric guitar used by the god of guitars Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. The price is as high as two million dollars!
　　 This one is obviously not that high, but it's no problem to sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
　　 Auction!
　　 Let guitar collectors and avid rock music fans decide the price of this guitar, I believe it will bring you the most profitable.
　　In an instant, Ye Tian made up his mind to send these two guitars to Christie's or Sotheby's.
　　After admiring it for a while, he put the guitar away as a treasure.
　　 Then, he looked at those Bose headphones again, picked up one and stuffed it into his backpack, and prepared to experience the beautiful feeling of professional top-grade headphones when he was free in the future.
　　 The remaining things can be sold to Benny.
　　 For Ye Tian, ​​this warehouse has been cleaned up and it's time to harvest!

Obs: This is a novel original in chinese, I only translated to english.

Ye Tian, who was in desperate situation, found that the world in his eyes had changed, becoming radiant and dazzling!

Antiques, famous paintings, gold, diamonds, and jewellery are all available at your fingertips!

The pirate treasures of Cocos Island, the Nazi gold in the depths of the ocean, the Mayan civilization in the jungle, the secrets of King Solomon, the disappearing Atlantis,….

They are no longer mysterious, but completely opened the door, just waiting for Ye Tian to explore and discover.

What are you waiting for?

set off!

When he arrived at the supermarket, Su Yang took out the piece of paper that he had written down the ingredients he needed and read through it again.
'Compared to before, the ingredients used to make the recipe this time seems a little special.
'Not only does this item not need any +1 items, the end product is supposed to be a second hand guitar. Not only that, it's supposed to be a… model guitar.'
That's right. The special item was a guitar, but Su Yang was going to be building a guitar model.
Su Yang was stunned when he saw the introduction to the recipe.
'This is too perfunctory!
'This special item might just be a crude product.
'But since it's a free recipe, I suppose there's no harm in accepting it. What's the worst that can happen? I could get another new special item next monday which is just in 3 days time which is wonderful.'
With that in mind, he stopped complaining. As he shopped in the supermarket, he bought what he needed. [Cylindrical Plastic Wrap], [Rubber Band], [Duct Tape], [Double-sided Tape], [Wrapping Paper] etc…
After getting everything he needed, Su Yang even used his [Verbal Canon] skill to coax the supermarket's cashier to give him a cardboard box.
Su Yang paid the bill and returned home with the stuff.
When he reached home, Su Yang brought the stuff into the virtual space and placed it on the dining table.
'The production process this time is relatively simple. There's no need to go to the courtyard.'
He casually rewatched the production video. After confirming that there was no problem, he clicked [Produce].
As Su Yang clicked on [Produce], some light noises were heard in the dining room, followed by a series of tools that appeared on the dining table.
Su Yang placed the video just above of his vision and officially started the process.
He first folded the box and then tied it with duct tape a few times.
Then, he used a compass to draw a large circle on the box before using his knife to carve out the circle along the drawn lines.
After removing the circle, he picked up the electric drill and made 4 small holes at the bottom of the circle.
After everything was done, he stuck the cylindrical plastic wrap into the box and sealed it. Then, he picked up the spray paint and sprayed the shell and the cylindrical plastic wrap with paint.
In the end, Su Yang cut the rubber band and made it into a zither string. He tied it to the cardboard box and fixed it with a stapler. Thus, a simple guitar model was done.
Su Yang looked at the weird guitar model in his hand and the rows of green ticks that were displayed on the system. He felt that he was being mocked…
'I managed to pass just like that?
'The system has no limits anymore.
'However, since the system has already determined that it's done, I can't be bothered to argue. It's better than having to do it again!' Hence, he simply clicked [Submit].
As he clicked [Submit], everything on the table, including Su Yang's guitar model, disappeared. Even the paint stains on the table disappeared.
'I guess I can save myself from having to clean up now.'
Moments later, a small, palm-sized crystal guitar appeared out of thin air.
Su Yang wanted to catch it reflexively, but he stopped just as he was about to catch it. He suddenly remembered, 'I should not touch these items casually since it might have some negative abilities.'
While he was pondering, the crystal guitar fell onto the floor with a loud crack, then... it shattered with shards flying everywhere.
Su Yang was speechless.
'It broke?
'Just like that?
'That's just absurd!'
Su Yang looked at the broken pieces on the floor and was speechless. 'Can this special item still be used?
'I haven't had such an experience before!
'Should I patch it up?'
Su Yang squatted on the floor, looking worried.
After hesitating for a while, Su Yang decided, 'Forget it, I'll just leave it like that for now. I'll wait and see if I can get the system's evaluation before planning what to do next.
'Normally, the system's evaluation would appear within a few minutes. If it has not appeared after 10 minutes, that means that the special item is broken. In that case, I'll just sweep it off and bin it or keep it as a supplementary material for the next special item.
Lying on the sofa, Su Yang summoned the virtual interface and browsed through the news aimlessly. He was thinking about what he could do to kill some time.
Before he could read the news, he suddenly received a WeChat message.
'What? A WeChat message?
'I wonder which little cutie is it this time?'
As Su Yang thought about it, he opened WeChat and quietly retracted the statement "little cutie" because… it was actually the genius, Li Runze who was looking for him.
Li Runze texted, 'Here.'
'I suppose he's a genius for a reason. He sent a one word message as though he knew that I'd definitely be "here".
Su Yang replied with the same word, 'Yes.'
Li Runze replied, 'I'm going back to school.'
Su Yang was confused.
'He's back to school now? There's still half a month before school starts. Why's he back so early?'
Su Yang asked, 'Is something the matter?'
Li Runze replied, 'The professor wants me to help with an experiment.'
Su Yang replied, 'Artificial intelligence related?'
Li Runze replied. 'Yes.'
The genius was so aloof that Su Yang did not know how to reply anymore. Through those monotonous sentences, Su Yang could even imagine the expressionless face he had. Su Yang thought that he was the one who had taken the initiative to chat with the genius.
He probed, 'Then… shall we have a meal together someday?'
Li Runze replied, 'Okay.'
Su Yang was speechless.
'I really am taking the initiative to chat with him…'
Li Runze sent another message, 'When?'
'This is really his style of talking.'
Su Yang replied, 'How about next weekend? I have something on over the weekdays.'
Li Runze replied again, 'Okay.'
After the conversation ended, Su Yang felt that…'I've just lost a meal for no reason and I've even taken the initiative to chat with someone…
'Li Runze was the one who had looked for me first! Why did it seem like it was the other way around? Also… why have I offered to treat him to a meal?'
Su Yang was puzzled.
Just as he was wondering who it was that actually had the [Verbal Canon] ability, the crystal guitar that fell onto the ground slowly started to glow.
The shattered pieces glowed simultaneously to form a web of light. Then, it rose into the air and slowly gathered to form a crystal guitar.
Su Yang did not notice everything that had happened. When he noticed the abnormality from the corner of his eye, he turned around and saw that the crystal guitar had returned to normal.
'What? Didn't it shatter just now? How is it patched up already?"
Su Yang walked over and opened the system. The interface of the crystal guitar popped up.
[Special Item: The Masked Guitar Master's Second Hand Guitar]
Ability: By placing this guitar onto other guitars, the two will merge together. The appearance of the guitar will not change, but they will become a world class guitar. When used, Proficiency +1, Vocal +2, Performance +2, Emotion +3.
Restriction 1: All effects +1 again on rainy days.
Restriction 2: User has to wear a mask before using this ability.
Restriction 3: Increasing its abilities will not trigger any additional effects.
Note: I'm really sad, playing Chopin in the rain. Written by the Masked Guitar Master.
'Well, this item seems interesting.'
Su Yang, who had always thought that the crystal guitar was completely useless, immediately went against his words. 'This guitar seems to be very useful. It might even be a godlike item if used correctly.'
Su Yang already had the basic ability to play the guitar plus an additional effect, [Elementary Talent: Voice Specialty].
However, ever since he had been a little popular for just a while, he has not used it again.
This was because he felt that the ability was too low levelled for him to excel. He might have gained some popularity if he used it in school, but there were many others who were much better than him on the Internet.
However, things were different now. 'With this special item, my guitar singing ability would become +1, which would be an intermediate ability and I've seen how impressive intermediate abilities are.
'If I used it on a rainy day, my abilities would gain another +1. That should directly enable me to have high-level abilities!
'I've never had this kind of ability before.
'Maybe… I might get to have a different experience?
'Not to mention, this guitar has more additional effects, Vocal +2, Performance +2, Emotion +3.
'Although I don't know how effective these+2 and +3 effects are, they shouldn't be too bad.
'After all, [Squid that didn't like to dive] has similar effects. However, they were all +10. Based on how Chu Xia used it in the past, +10 should be the highest point one could achieve.
'That means, the +2 ,+3 effects would become +3 and +4 on rainy days, it should become very useful by then.'
At that thought, Su Yang felt that he should try this new special item.
He hurried to the study to take out the cheap guitar that he had bought for 300 yuan earlier. He had not used it since the first time he played it.
Previously, he did not have the concept of good or bad guitar, but ever since he sang with the wandering guitarist, he felt that his cheap guitar was as good as the sound it made…
'Except for the sound, it's basically a piece of firewood…
'However, this guitar can finally be used again!'
With that thought in mind, Su Yang took out the guitar and brought it to the living room. He then picked up the crystal guitar from the floor and placed it on the guitar.
Suddenly, the crystal guitar lit up and Su Yang closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the crystal guitar had disappeared, and the cheap guitar before him did not look any different. However, Su Yang could feel. 'The guitar seems to have… changed.'
'I don't feel pitiful for the crystal guitar to be merged with my cheap guitar since the crystal guitar can be removed whenever I want later.
'Besides… The crystal guitar's ability is to turn an ordinary guitar into a world class guitar. Even if I did merge it with a good guitar, the effect doesn't change. So… it doesn't really make a difference which guitar I use to merge it with.'
After figuring out the situation, Su Yang wanted to play the guitar.
However, at that moment, he suddenly remembered the new function after the system+2, [Achievement System].
'In the [Achievement System], there seems to be an [Achievement] that requires me to gain 100,000 fans on the internet through my own guitar performance video.
'The Brick's cooldown time is almost up. Could I use this new item to complete this achievement and obtain a bronze point?'
At that thought, Su Yang turned on the [Achievement System]…


Su Yang was an average university student in Shanghai when he received a system that allowed him to add points to things. The point system provided him with missions and by clearing them, he would gain points. 
Add a point into an object, the object will receive a special ability; add a point into a plant, the plant will come alive; add points on himself, he will get talents or superpowers.
With the mysterious point system in hand, Su Yang aimed to become rich and alter his fate. On his path towards success, he encountered many interesting matters and people, including famous actresses and business tycoons. Fueled by determination, Su Yang set his sight on adding points into all things to help him achieve his goal. 


The KTV manager finally arrived. He repeatedly apologized to Su Chen and the others.
After having his face bashed in and being humiliated in front of Su Mo, Xu Yang's accumulating fury finally maxed out, and he lashed out at the manager.
Su Mo was studying in a private school for the rich. All of her classmates came from wealthy families. They cornered the manager and asked for compensation.
The outcome was that the manager fired the two waiters who sat and stared without doing anything. Su Chen and the others were not charged for their time and expenditure in the KTV.
They were no longer in the mood for having fun after what had happened.
Su Chen sent Su Mo's classmates home in cabs when they left the KTV and drove home with his sister.

[Driving proficiency +2]
Su Chen did not drive often. His driving skill was still at the intermediate level.
"Brother, you've transformed way too much recently. It feels kinda strange."
Su Mo, who was riding shotgun, looked at her brother zestily and said, "Is what Mom said true? Have you fallen for a girl? I'm telling you, if you have a girlfriend, you have to tell me. I'll help you evaluate her."
"What are you thinking? That did not happen." Su Chen felt ridiculous. He continued. "I'm the one who should be asking questions. What's the deal with your classmate, Xu Yang?"
"What else do you think? Your sister—I, a natural beauty—is endowed with both talent and good looks. It is normal to have a few pursuers," said Su Mo, pursing her lips.
"You really don't know the word 'humble,' do you?" Amused, Su Chen glanced at her.
"Humph! Was I wrong?" Su Mo harrumphed egotistically.
"No, of course not. My sister must be the most outstanding one. Ordinary guys don't deserve you." Su Chen laughed and flattered his sister.
Su Mo smiled.
"Oh, right! Momo, I think I wanna learn to play guitar. What do you think?" asked Su Chen all of a sudden.
"Guitar? Sure, you could learn very fast. I learned to play guitar in a short time back then. I can teach you." Su Mo's beautiful eyes twinkled. She was interested in teaching him music.
"Then teach me tomorrow." Su Chen smiled and nodded.
Su Mo's glittering eyes looked out of the car. No one knew what was on her mind.
***
The next day, after eating breakfast with the family, Su Chen's parents left for work.
Su Chen and his sister cleaned up the dining table and went to the music room. In the middle of the elegantly furnished room stood an imported Steinway grand piano worth 70,000 RMB. Su Mo's parents had given her the piano as a present on her tenth birthday.
There were a few books on the shelf in the corner of the music room. Trophies and photos from all sorts of Su Mo's competitions were also on the shelf. Last but not least, a red guitar lay in one of the compartments of the shelf.
Su Mo walked toward the guitar and took it down gently. Her slender fingers idly strummed the guitar, letting out a crisp, melodious tune. She smiled and looked at Su Chen. "I haven't played the guitar since forever."
"Can you first play a song for me?" asked Su Chen, smiling.
Su Mo nodded and sat on the piano stool. Then, beaming, she played a popular piece. Soon, Su Mo sang along, her melodious voice resounding, accompanying the tune of the guitar.
[Observing guitar playing, proficiency +2]
[Observing guitar playing, proficiency +2]
Su Chen listened silently as points were added continuously to his proficiency.
At the same time, he was also perplexed by the fact that the points for his singing proficiency did not increase. When he saw Xu Yang performing taekwondo previously, points were added to his taekwondo proficiency.
Is it because my singing skill is already at an advanced level so listening to others singing will not increase my proficiency? Su Chen conjectured. Since I do not have any experience in playing guitar and taekwondo, will my proficiency increase even when I only observe others doing it?
"Brother, how was it?" Su Mo asked when she finished playing and singing the song.
"It was really good." Su Chen gave her the thumbs up.
Su Mo's smile broadened. She handed him the guitar, ran to the bookshelf, and searched here and there. She found two books about guitar learning for beginners.
"These are the books I bought previously; they are particularly for beginners. You can first read them on your own and get a rough idea of what it's like. I'll practice the piano for a while and teach you later."
Su Chen nodded and took the books. He brought a chair over and started reading.
[Reading books related to guitar playing, guitar proficiency +2]
[Reading books related to guitar playing, guitar proficiency +2]
As the uplifting melody from the piano filled the room, Su Mo began her obligatory daily task.
[Listening to advanced level piano playing, piano proficiency +5]
[Listening to advanced level piano playing, piano proficiency +5]
The proficiencies of the two instruments can be increased at the same time? Su Chen wondered, shocked. That's pure awesomeness!
[Piano proficiency reached 100, piano playing upgraded to beginner's level]
[Guitar proficiency reached 100, guitar playing upgraded to beginner's level]
Before long, the beginner's level for both instruments was activated. A great deal of basic knowledge about the instruments flowed into Su Chen's mind.
That's so easy! he thought. Why the hell do I still need to read the books?
Su Chen decisively tossed the books aside, took the guitar from the corner, and started strumming it.
Su Mo, who was practicing piano, frowned and stopped when she was interrupted. "Brother, what are you doing? Didn't I ask you first to read the book..." She glared at Su Chen, but she then froze.
Su Chen held the guitar like a professional guitarist and started playing a song. Su Mo recognized the melody immediately; it was the prelude of the song Su Chen sang in the KTV the day before.
When the prelude ended, Su Chen started singing with his husky voice.
He was bathed in the morning sunlight, which shone through the French window. A smile spread across his face like the morning breeze spread across a grassland.
Su Mo was lost in his voice. She couldn't help herself but turned around and ran her graceful fingers through the black and white keys on the piano, playing the accompaniment to the song.
Once the song ended, his proficiencies in singing and playing guitar and piano had simultaneously increased. He was very satisfied; he beamed with joy.
"Brother, you lied to me! When did you learn to play guitar?" Pouting, Su Mo glared at Su Chen.
"I didn't! I saw you play just now. The stuff in the book looked pretty easy as well, so I tried it myself," said Su Chen, looking serious.
"No way! That's not logical." Su Mo looked at him suspiciously.
"Maybe…I'm a genius!" Su Chen grinned.
　　
He did not seem to be lying, and Su Mo could not recall a single time when Su Chen had played a musical instrument.
Was she the truly hopeless one at home, compared to her weirdo brother?
Su Mo's face clouded. She did not want to accept this.
"I think I can play the piano too. Can I try?" said Su Chen, smiling.
"Go on." Su Mo wanted to know if he was a genius. She nodded and got up from the stool right away. She stood aside with her arms folded across her chest and stared at him.
Su Chen sat on the piano stool, and a smile registered on his lips. His fingers touched the piano keys gently.
The bright piano tune began to fill the room.
"So I really am the hopeless one!" A strange light started to glimmer in her eyes as she began doubting the meaning of her life.


I am a high achiever, also a super athlete. I am a game guru, also kungfu master. Cooking, medicine, music, dance… there is nothing I can’t do. Undoubtedly even though I could have eked out a living with my face, I try to rely on my talent instead. I am Su Chen, I am a perfect prince charming.

After talking with All Might for a while longer. All Might finally said his goodbyes and left.

Once All Might had left, Detective Naomasa said to Kei "I am proud of you Kei, not a lot of people would turn down a free quirk like that. Especially one that is so unique and powerful"

"You are right, not a lot of people would" said Kei with a smile on his face

Kei was happy that All Might had considered him to inherit One For All. Sadly Kei already had both an ability and quirk that had potential to surpass One For All.

When Kei finished talking with Detective Naomasa, he excused himself to his room.

When Kei got to his room, he laid on his bed. He thought about the conversation he had with All Might after he decided to reject inheriting One For All.

Kei had told All Might that he had someone in mind to inherit One For All.

When Kei had mentioned Shou to All Might and how he was training hard to become a hero, even though he was quirk-less. All Might seemed to be impressed that Shou was committed to becoming a hero even though he had no quirk.

'If All Might gives One For All to Shou. Then by the time we enter UA High, Shou would already have mastered One For All or at least be close to reaching full mastery over it' thought Kei as he was hoping All Might would go see Shou 

Although Kei felt bad that Midoriya Izuku would not become a hero like in the manga and anime. Kei had to admit that Midoriya Izuku was not the best choice to inherit One For All.

'Although he has good intentions, he is far too reckless' thought Kei as he remembered the anime

Midoriya Izuku would always bite off more than he could chew. It was to the point that he would willingly break his own body, just to have a chance to defeat an opponent he was not ready to go against.

'In the end, Shou is the better choice' thought Kei with an assured look in his eyes

In the past months Shou had shown Kei how responsible and hardworking he was. Not only that but Shou had great judgement of what he was currently capable of doing and not overestimating himself.

'Two symbols of peace' thought Kei with a smile on his face

When he kept thinking of All Might passing One For All to Shou. He could not help but think of the future and having Shou and himself being the leading heroes. 

Shou was keis best friend and there was nobody else he could trust more than him.
———————————————————————

The next day Kei got up and had breakfast. After he finished eating his breakfast, he went out to train.

Once Kei finished his training, he went back to his room to take a shower and get himself ready to go to Jiro's home.

When Kei was finished getting himself ready, he grabbed his guitar and went towards the door to head toward Jiro's house.

"Are you heading to your friends house?" Asked Detective Naomasa as he saw Kei well dressed with his guitar on him

"Yes, I will be back in a couple of hours" said Kei 

"Alright, call me if you stay later than that" said Detective Naomasa as he saw Kei go out the door

'Look at him all dressed up, maybe All Might was right, he might actually have a crush on the girl' thought Detective Naomasa as he remembered the conversation he and All Might had about Kei 
———————————————————————-

After a while, Kei finally made it to Jiro's house.

Once Kei was in front of the door he knocked.

After waiting for a few seconds someone came to open the door. 

"Hello, I am Jiro's Friend, Naomasa Kei"

"Hello Kei, I am Kyoka's mother, it is a pleasure to meet you" said Jiro's mother

Jiro's mother had short, dark purple hair with bangs falling to the right side of her face and wearing glasses. What Kei also noticed was that she also had plug like earlobes just like her daughter.

While Kei was thinking of how much Jiro and her mother looked alike. Jiro's mother called her daughter to come out "Kyoka, your friend Kei is here"

Shortly after Jiro's mother called Jiro over. She led Kei to the living room, where Jiro's father was sitting on the couch. 

When Kei saw Jiro's father, they both greeted each other.

"I heard from Kyoka that you are talented in the guitar" said Jiro's father in an interested tone of voice

"I am okay" said Kei with a wry smile on his face

"Now, now, you do not have to be so modest here" said Jiro's mother as she brought some tea for them to drink

"Mom is right Kei, you do not have to be modest" said Jiro as she made her way to the living room where Kei and her parents were sitting

When Jiro saw Kei, she smiled and said" thank you for coming over"

"I should be the one to say thank you for inviting me to your home" said Kei with a smile before he continued "to be honest, before I met you, I did not know anyone that is really into music like I am" 

"Really, then it is a good thing that you and Kyoka met" said Jiro's mother with a glad look on her face

Jiro's mother was happy that Jiro had found a friend that had the same interests as her own.

"If I recall right, I remember Kyoka tell me that you created an amazing original song. Would you mind if I listen to you play it" said Jiro's father to Kei with a face that said he was curious to hear the song

"Would you be willing Kei, I also really want to hear the song" said Jiro's mother with a smile 

When Kei heard both of Jiro's parents say they wanted to hear the song he had played. He could only say "of course I can play it"

Since Jiro's parents seemed really enthusiastic to hear the song he played. Kei reached for his guitar that was in a case that he had gotten from the woman that owned the shop.

Once the guitar case was on keis lap, he then opened it and took the guitar out. 

Once the guitar was on his hands Kei positioned himself so he could star playing the song.

Just as he was about to play. He noticed everyone in the room with shocked expressions on their faces.

Just as Kei was about to ask if there was something wrong. Jiro's father asked in a nervous voice "Kei where did you get that guitar?"

Slightly surprised by the question Kei answered "after Jiro and I met, I kept looking for a guitar. Sadly I had no luck that day, so the next day I went and checked a few shops again. Luckily I found this guitar in a shop someone recommended to me"

When Jiro's parents heard that, Jiro's father then asked "Kei could you let me see the guitar"

When Kei heard that, he answered "sure, I do not mind"

Kei then handed the guitar over to Jiro's father. When Jiro's father grabbed hold of the guitar, he started to examine it. The more he examined the guitar the more shocked his and his wife's expression became.

Finally after checking the guitar Jiro's father then told Kei "you must have left a great impression on the shop owner for her to give you this guitar"

When Kei heard what Jiro's father said, he could only ask "is there something special about this guitar?"

When Jiro's father heard keis question, he answered "Kei you play the guitar and you do not even know, that you got an extremely rare guitar with you"

When Kei heard what Jiro's father said he was shocked. The only thing he could say to Jiro's father was "how do you know for sure, that this guitar is extremely rare?"

Jiro's father answered "well for one, it is signed by the luthier Oye Yasushi himself. As for the other reasons"

Jiro's father then told him every detail about this guitar, as well as the luthier that had made it.

When Kei heard all the details that Jiro's father told him. His expression resembled the same one everyone had a while ago.

'To think this guitar was so rare' thought Kei as a look of shock was still on his face

From what Kei had learned, the luthier Oye Yasushi was the greatest guitar maker in the world. His guitars were so good, that each of his surviving guitars are priceless.

'And I got it for such a cheap price' thought Kei 

When Kei thought up to there. He remembered the other part of the deal he made to keep the guitar.

'I am going to play music in that shop every other week for the rest of my life' 

When Kei was thinking that, Jiro's mother then said "honey, give Kei his guitar back. I want to listen to him play his song" 

"You still want him to use the guitar, even though it is priceless" said Jiro's father in a shocked tone of voice 

"Well, all instruments are made to be played with, not to gather dust in some display" said Jiro's mother as she encouraged Kei to play his song

When Jiro's mother said that, Kei felt better about playing the song on his guitar. Soon after he started playing the song.

When Jiro's parents heard the song that their daughter told them about. They had to admit that Kei was talented in creating songs as well as playing the guitar.

"Kei, let's go play our guitars in my dads studio" said Jiro as she stood up from the couch

"That sounds good to me" said Kei as he also started to get off the couch

Once Kei and Jiro got to the studio Jiro's dad had set up in his house. The two of them started talking about their favorite bands, favorite songs and many other things.

After they talked for a while they finally started to play some music on their guitars. 

After some time had passed Kei said "Jiro, do you want to come up with our own song"

When Jiro heard that, she asked "you want to create a song with me?"

"Yes" said Kei without a hint of doubt 

When Jiro saw how serious Kei was about this. She said "you are already good at making songs. Why do you want to make songs with me?"

When Kei heard what Jiro asked, he said "because it is more fun to do things together"

When Jiro heard Kei say that, she had no reason to disagree anymore.

"Alright let's make the greatest song anyone has ever heard" said Jiro with great confidence in her voice

"Alright, then lets get started but before that, can I ask you something" said Kei 

"Sure, what is it?" Asked Jiro with curiosity 

"Well, could I call you by your given name?" Asked Kei 

When Jiro heard keis question. She was silent for a few seconds before saying "sure I don't mind"

"Alright, then let's start coming up with some lyrics Kyoka" said Kei as he was getting ready to write

And just like that Kei and Kyoka started the first of many songs they would play together.

“I died” 

Those were the first words Yamamoto Kei said to himself, thinking he was alone in the endless darkness of the void.

Little did he know that he wasn’t alone. For a system was there with him, to present him with a gift and a new world he can call home.

Note: this is not a novel where the MC will reincarnate and magically get god level acting skills or BS his way out of any situation. This novel is about an MC who is training constantly to reach his goals in the world he is now living in.

I have the options to get a star drop or the red sun burst guitar, And my mother shows for me the guitar because it would help with me with my mental health and my PTSD and I would have more fun with it than I would want the necklace. So I called up my brother because I couldn't get them out of his hotel room to talk to him about the guitar and I'm getting the red Madera starburst guitar for my birthday and then later on in the M block or spring or season I will be getting the stardrop necklace.   I am so glad they are mothers out there they're like dowsing pendulums or definition pendulums without having to shake them or know what they're doing they just tell you right off the bat what you should do or what is better. So I'm getting a guitar for around my birthday and then around Easter I'm going to get the star drop necklace to save on money, Because these are two big ticket items that my aunt and ignore my brother can deal with at the same time he said the guitar was more important to him and he will deal with that first and I am very glad because I'm gonna need a guitar in the summertime I have my ukulele right now but I can't play anything without pissing people off screws my friends again because of Covid and winter.  In the summertime I'll be able to break out the guitar and ukulele and start strumming away and practice my calls without any bother so that's good I might have a tongue drum to go along with it so I might switch instruments every summer day and spring day and fall day. I cannot play my current guitar or my ukulele right now because everyone's cooped up indoors because of the cold  if it was summer I would be outplaying my guitar, ukulele, or tounge drum.

My public diary or journal that I use to cope with my PTSD and autism this is my day-to-day life and may it help you guys with your problems and struggles as well.


As I pulled into the parking lot of the warehouse where Craig had instructed me to go, I already missed Logan, but I quickly pushed the thought aside, determined to make a good first impression on my band. What would they be like? Would they be as good as Logan's band? I took one step at a time, and then paused for a moment with my hand on the door when warm-up rifts rushed to my ears.
"The hell with it," I said as I screwed up my courage and pulled the door open abruptly.
The music was immediately magnified as I stepped in and closed the door behind me. The lead guitarist's fingers flew over the neck of his electric guitar, sending a thrill through me as the music penetrated my soul. Beside him, the bass and rhythm guitar players kept time with the beat of the drummer, as if it were no effort. They were good. Really good.
The drummer looked up, eyeing me from across the room, and immediately stopped. "May I help you?"
The others stopped, too, and looked up. It was only natural that they wouldn't know me. 
"It's nice to meet you," I said, setting my guitar case onto a nearby table. I pulled out my guitar and slid the strap across my shoulders. Then, I picked up a pick.
"So, you're part of the band, too?" the lead guitarist asked, laughing without humor. "Craig told me that it would just be us." He ran his fingers through his shoulder-length blond streaked hair and shook his head. The rhythm guitarist rolled his eyes at the blond, as if used to his objections.
I suppressed a smile and let my fingers fly down the neck of my plugged in acoustic guitar. 
The bass player nodded his approval. "Well, you've got to hand it to her. She's good."
The rhythm guitarist suppressed a smile.
The blond laughed as he turned back to me. "Do you sing, too?"
I nodded, but didn't say a word as my fingers flew over my guitar. But this time, I found a rhythm. I looked over at the drummer, and he bit his lower lip, suppressing a grin, knowing who I was. I gave him a wink as I shook my head slightly, and then looked back at the lead guitarist.
"So, let's see what you got."
He laughed so hard that he dabbed at the tears in his eyes. "Really?" he asked in disbelief, gesturing down the length of my guitar.
I let my fingers run up the neck of my guitar as it screamed in answer.
"Okay," he said, nodding as his fingers flew over the neck of his guitar and came abruptly to a stop. "Let's see what you've got, little girl."
I raised an eyebrow, taking him in. Behind him, the brunette drummer bit his lip and lowered his head as he shook his head, as if knowing that the blond would soon regret his actions and comments. But he didn't say a word.
One corner of my lips curled into a smile. Then, I turned back to Blondie. "You first."
He nodded in mock gratitude, and the others laid out as Blondie's fingers flew over the neck of his guitar and then down to the base. A moment later, his rift came to an end as a self-satisfied smirk spread 
across his face.
"Impressive!" Without missing a beat, I immediately launched into an impressive rift of my own. When my rift came to an end, the other musicians clapped loudly as they whooped and hollered.
 The rhythm guitar player laughed as he shook his head and smoothed back long strands of light brown hair into his ponytail. "I think she smoked you, man," he said with a pronounced Irish brogue.
Blondie's lips formed a straight line. And, without saying another word, he launched into another rift, this time mixing in a little rhythm and blues with his lead line. A moment later, he ended the rift and folded his arms across his chest. "Now, beat that."
I lifted my eyebrows. "Well, it'll be hard. That's for sure," I said, matter of fact, as I set down my acoustic. "Mind if I borrow your guitar?"
He handed it to me with a self-satisfied smirk. "Go for it."
I played around a bit with his electric guitar, getting a feel for it first. Although I preferred playing my own guitar, there are certain things that you can only do on an electric guitar. "As I said, that'll be hard to beat, but here it goes." I launched into an intricate rift, including some old-school rock, followed by jazz, and then launched into some contemporary rock. Then, I played the guitar behind the back of my head. After a few bars, I brought the guitar down in front of me and played a contemporary country rift and ended with a high-pitched note at the base of the neck. I jumped into the air and landed, bringing our battle to a close.
Silence filled the air. When I looked around, their mouths were open.
"It's a great guitar, but you need a new G-string. Probably because the key nozzle is a bit loose. You can have that tightened up and it'll save you from using so many strings. Also, the nut bar at the end needs tightening. But, all in all, I like it." When I handed it back to Blondie, his mouth was still open.
A slow clap came from behind me. Craig had entered the warehouse, dressed in a leather suit coat and black leather pants, instead of his usual business attire. He still wore his signature white dress shirt, but he looked good with it unbuttoned at the neck. I turned away, trying not to notice.
"Alyssa, that was truly impressive," he said after he stopped clapping.
"Alyssa?!" Blondie asked as his voice rose. "Alyssa Case?" He rolled his eyes and stepped back as he ran his hand through his hair, obviously realizing what an ass he had just made of himself. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry!"
"Alyssa. Not God," I joked, clearly enjoying his discomfort. "It's okay. You didn't know." Then, I held my hand out to him for a friendly handshake. "Actually, the name's Alyssa Collins, but my stage name is Alyssa Case. And you are?"
"Embarrassed," he said as he graciously shook my hand. "Brett. The name's Brett Connors, the one who just made an ass of himself."
The drummer and the bass guitarist just laughed, and so did I. "No worries. It was just a misunderstanding."

I like you Special Chapter

Red's First love*

Red (5 years old*)

Red stares at the guitarist playing at the street with loving and sparkle in his eyes. To him, the guitarist is like the greatest player he'e ever seen in his life. The way he strums the guitar and hums the lyrics is pure perfection in his ear. And more importantly, the guitar he's holding. It feels like a national treasure for him. He wanted to touch it and strum it's delicate strings. How good would be the sound it makes.

"Avery, what are you doing there? Let's go home." Her mom appears behind him who's looking for him when he got lost in the crowd.

He turns around and looks at his mom's eyes with most eagerness.

"Mom, I want to play guitar!"

"No, you're too young." She answered and grab his tiny hand. "Let' s go home, your dad's probably waiting at home."

He could only stare at the guitarist as he's being pulled away. Ven from a far, he could still hear him strumming the guitar.

-

"What do you think you're doing? Why did you buy him a guitar?"

His mom almost burst out in anger when he finally received his dad's present for him.

"Why not? He seems to really like it."

"Still! He's too young. He should've had more useful hobby, like basketball or volleyball! You can't make him play guitar for the rest of his life!"

"You're right. He's young. He'll probably forget about it when he gets a little older. For now, let him be. Can't you see how happy he is right now?" Red's mom sighed in defeat as she watch him staring at the guitar lovingly.

Little Red doesn't seem to mind what's happening as his focus is on the shiny guitar on his lap. He carefully brushes his fingers on it, afraid on it getting scratches.

My first love...

Red in middle school

Red hurriedly runs to his hideout when the bell ring signaling it's break time with the heavy guitar on his back. He stops at the rooftop and sits on the floor while trying to calm himself from running on the stairs. He then grabbed his earphones and guitar and started playing.

He skillfully strums the guitar as he hums the song playing on his earphone. He's been playing for most of life that he can strum a song on the guitar even if he just heard it the first time.

He's on the second song when noticed that someone might be staring at him. He stopped playing and looked up, and a handsome man appears in front of him.

Badump... Badump... Badump...

W-what's happening to me? He asks to himself as he could feel his rapid heartbeat staring at his blue and playful eyes. It looks like the ocean, that somehow he feels at ease staring at it.

"You're good at playing." He said that stopped him from his thoughts.

What am I thinking?

"Ah... Y-yeah." He awkwardly answer feeling the hotness at his cheeks. Honestly this is the first time someone has heard him play the guitar. He would always decline whenever his classmates requests him to play.

Maybe this is the reason why my heart's reacting this way. Yeah, this must be it.

The man smiled causing his heart to skip a beat. And for that, Red knows that being caught playing the guitar is not the reason for his heart's wild beat anymore.

"You know what, I like you." He said, smile not removing from his face.

"W-what-"

"Let's form a band, I'll sing for you." He eagerly continued as he held his hand.

***Badump.. Badump... Badump**...

My first love*...

Red in High school

Red calmly walks on his way to school. It's his first day being a high school student. Rather than nervousness, he feels excited. Excited to start new.

He's not around so it's fine. I'll be fine.

But still, he can't help but to take a deep breath. No matter how he deny it, he could still feel nervous about starting a new.

I'm far from him now. He won't be able to come at me. It's okay, Red. You'll be fine.

He could also feel light now that he doesn't bring his guitar anymore. His mom strongly opposed him to bring his guitar to school. He listened only because this is the first day but he'll probably bring it at another day.

He' ll stop on his track when he heard a sweet lullaby not too far away. He started walking slowly while tracing the origin of the voice and he saw a man with his back facing him singing a children's lullaby. He has a clean, sweet voice that will draw you in.

***Badump... Badump... Badump**...

It's this feeling again*.

He didn't even notice that he's already too close to the person singing. He could clearly hear his voice. It's even more pleasant and sweet to hear up close.

The student must've noticed his presence so he turns around and as soon as their eyes met, his face went deep red and he looks like he's going to cry any time soon.

Cute.

"Ah-"

"You have a sweet voice." He complimented and smiled at him.

"I... U-uh.. T-thanks."

"I like you."

His face became even more red at his confession. Red's trying hard not to laugh. He really finds his face adorable, he just wants to hug him all day long.

"How... H-how can you..."

"Do you want to form a band with me? I can play the guitar!"

The man just stared at him wide-eyed speechless at his boldness. He then took a step back slowly until he makes a full 180 degree and runs away towards the school. With that, Red can't help but to release a laugh he's been trying to suppress.

Ah, he's really cute. He lifted up my mood just like that.

A laugh turned into a smile as he stare at the school entrance.

I'll make sure that we'll meet again, my first love.
