[WSA 2025 ENTRY] - This Novel is participating in the 2025 WebNovel Spirity Awards ^^

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.

"Since parts are decided, anyone with an idea for the concept?"

Both Ari and Vishal raised their hands, but since William was still quite angry at Ari, he pointed at Vishal to speak first.

"So when I listened to the song, it really reminded me of racing games and movies I watched when I was younger. Has anyone seen the really old movie Tron?" Vishal asked

At the confused looks across the room, Vishal got up excitedly, grabbed a marker, and began scribbling on the mirror.

"So it's this movie from the 80s."

"That's so old. My mom wasn't even born yet."

"Wait, was it on that thing? The the the the RVC?"
