Street Band

"These are… just some instructions on how to level up?" Han Dori was quite disheartened after looking through the screen.

There is also a lucky draw roller, an ID card, was it of the original owner's?

Are these your so- called gift packs?" Han Dori made a face at the status screen.

[Don't worry, Host! As you level up and engage in more activities, you'll get more treats!]

"Stingy bastard…" Han Dori muttered under his breath as he gave up any hope on the system. However, he didn't forget to keep the ID card in his pocket.

But the only useful information it gave would be the various song lists which will help him get used to singing.

[Easy ballad for newbies ~ 10x

Easy notes for newbies ~ 10x

Easy K- Pop for newbies ~ 10x

Easy Rock for newbies ~ 10x

…]

"Idol's don't only sing right? Are there any other sections?" Han Dori asked while staring at the screen.

At least they weren't a bunch of nursery rhymes.

[There are many different sections, it's true Host. However, currently you lack enough EXP points to unlock them. As you continue leveling up and gaining EXP, you can unlock new categories!]

'What a booze!'

It doesn't look like this system would help him in gaining information either, so Han Dori decided to go up looking for information on the entertainment industry by himself.

And now, here he was… eating a cup of ramen with a bottle of water as he sat in front of the computer at an internet cafe.

Searching up the entertainment media around and the shows that have been going on for quite a while would be the first thing to do.

Han Dori's information circle was non-existent,  because he had literally no friends or foes.

However, he didn't have any time to think about it for now.

Because he had something much more important in his hand, like a ticking time bomb that could burst at any moment.

[Come, grab and stack your chance to vote for your most wished Idol!]

[Idol : Next Generation.

Season 4

Coming Soon…]

A cliche Idol survival show that was premearing for the new season after one flop and two successful seasons. 

After two successful seasons, the third season received a huge backlash. Not only for the huge stockpile being flopped, after the discovery of two Idols being drug addict and womanizer who laid there many female fans, the show came to an end abruptly.

And now, when none could think that there would be another season coming, they started a new season which made quite a fit in the industry.

Many netizens were mocking the shareholders for being greedy, while some of them looked forward to it.

Nonetheless, when it was a show for catering money, it's a fair chance for Han Dori to start his journey to become an Idol.

In a world of cutthroat rivalry between contestants, Han Dori needs to be at the top of the pyramid. Only then can he strive ahead to complete all his missions no matter what and live a long life.

The information he could gather from the internet was less than he could find useful, but this much was enough for now.

"I have a month to prepare for this, better put it into good use…" Han Dori muttered as he walked out of the internet cafe.

I want to walk with you, 

I want to live with you! 

Make a small nest inside your chest. 

Take care of me in a little irregularity! 

If it rains, 

Let me get wet with you.

If you are upset in the middle of the night, 

Let me lend my chest to cry for~! 

I am very random, 

so take care and fix me. 

If you are angry, 

be angry. 

Still find an excuse to,

Stay till the end!

I walk with you,

Want to take me with you!

As he walked aimlessly, a sound of music and a serene melody came into his ears which made Han Dori stop in his tracks and take a second look at the source of the sound.

It's a local student street band.

They had an organization for the poor and helpless people who needed money in an emergency. And the students who can perform in musical instruments and singing often used to visit this place.

It's especially the students from the arts  and culture department that visit here. However, it was a place that Han Dori could make use of. 

An opportunity… which is hard to get. 

The boy who was singing right now didn't have much appeal in his voice, a motion which could make people feel in their hearts moved.

It was rather plain and bland, just like how it was for Han Dori in the beginning. 

'Maybe… I should give it a go?'

The original Han Dori was very timid and a kindhearted guy as well, it's a shame that he was gone when no one knew of this.

As the new owner of this body left by Han Dori, he wanted to make up for him by doing some voluntary work, and it was an opportunity to do both things together.

Han Dori made up his mind as he walked towards the small stage, knocking the bell to attract the attention of the guy who was singing. 

The student also heard the knocking sound as he stopped singing and looked up at the person who interrupted, but was stunned by his appearance. 

"Uh… yes? W-what can I do for you?" Flustered by the distraction, the guy seemed to blush in shame as he asked Han Dori. 

The corner of his lip rose up as Han Dori smiled politely, "Would you mind giving me your seat? I know how to sing a little, so I would like to give it a try."
