Due to unfortunate circumstances, "Ari" Ariel Matisse lived in the slums of Los Angeles, also known as Skid Row.

One night, on his way home, he was killed while witnessing an old man getting beaten.

When he woke up, he had been thrown into a dumpster, and a strange screen flashed across his eyes, and no matter how he looked at it, it reminded him of a status window in a game.

[System Integration Complete!]
[Become a Global Music Superstar!]

For some reason, he gained a system that wanted him to join a survival show and become a globally famous idol.

If he refused to complete his given tasks, he would die.

But if he succeeded, he would have the money and power to change his life as well as get revenge against the person who killed him.

P.s. this story is kind of a love letter to LA and the amazing blend of cultures (American, Asian, Hispanic, African, etc) that can be found there. I hope you all fall in love with the area as much as I love it.

From Skid Row to Superstardom: An Idol System Novel

"You think that just because you have a higher vocal grade than all of us, you can just pretend to be the leader and boss us around! No way!" Caleb pointed his finger at Ari while glaring.

He turned toward the camera, making sure his eyes hadn't deceived him, and the red light, which meant that the camera was recording, was on.

'Then he was definitely crazy! Who would curse in front of the camera? Hadn't this man seen how evil PD Emily and PD Parks smiles looked?'

Ari made a mental note to stay away from him as much as possible. Clearly the kid didn't care about himself.
