Caeruleum_

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down.
His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life.
Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie.
During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment.
And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long.
This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be.
But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it.
So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident.
Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. 
This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. 
Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse!

|AUTHOR NOTE|
Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel,  will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters.
After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it!
Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

Rise To Stardom

Staring at Kyle as he finished performing the song in the small but well-equipped studio they had rented for his last hit song, Oliver couldn't help but marvel in amazement.

Truly, at this point, maybe it was best that he began to expect anything and everything from Kyle.

That way, he wouldn't always be so dumbstruck whenever his ward pulled off crazy feats like this.

"I can't believe you wrote that in one night…" the agent folded his arms gently across his broad chest and said with astonished wonder.

Coming out of the rehearsal room, one that housed the musical instruments, Kyle replied with an infectious smile;

"And if I'm being honest, the novelty of it hasn't worn off by even, just a tiny bit…" he added while running his hands through his voluminous raven hair.

"I can only imagine." Oliver shook his head with a satisfied smile.
