Chapter 9: 09 - Siblings

    [New Mission Unlocked]

    When I saw the new message, I was surprised to see that I had another mission after such a long time.

    The first and only mission I received was on the first day I arrived in this world.

    I got to the point where I thought I wouldn''t get any more missions and that it was only for newbies.

    [Mission: Get your song 1,000 views in the first 24 hours.

    Reward: +1 CHA, Mysterious Title].

    Looking at the mission and the reward, although the +1 CHA is very useful, I was most tempted by the Mysterious Title.

    My current title, [Endurance], is already extremely useful because it helps me exercise and train my physique, and that came from a reward related to a physical training mission, right?

    Since this mission came from something related to music or fame, the title can also be related to that!

    Now, what can I do to get my song to 1,000 views in the first 24 hours?

    Just posting the song on MeTube and letting it generate organic traffic is out of the question, because relying on the algorithm to start promoting my song when it wants to can take several days.

    Even if I have faith in the music, there''s no point in the music being good if no one hears it, so I''d have to do it in a proactive way.

    -Ding

    Looking at the notification that had just appeared on my phone, the answer came to me!

    At present, my Twipper was growing very fast, as long as I post there to promote the song, it''s possible that a few hundred people will click to listen to it, and as long as those people listen to the song, the likelihood that they''ll listen to it more than once is high, not to mention that they can send it to friends, showing how good the song is, giving me a good start on the platform!

    But there''s a problem...

    There''s a very high chance that they''ll suspect that I''m the person who makes these furry drawings, and I don''t want my image associated with that...

    This was a problem that left me a bit lost.

    Unsure what to do, I started pacing around the room trying to come up with a solution.

    Several ideas came to mind, but within a few seconds I found something that would make it go wrong. Th/e most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m

    [+1 INT]

    After thinking so much and working so hard on refuting my theories, my INT went up, probably because I was practicing my logical thinking.

    Then I suddenly had a very good idea.

    This idea might burn my image a bit for some people and make me look a bit desperate at first, but considering everyone''s beginnings, maybe it will become something funny to talk about in a while.

    My idea was basically to create a Twipper account for my profile as a singer and tag some pretty famous accounts, but from completely different genres, including my furry drawing account in those tagged accounts, so that having tagged that artist''s account wouldn''t look suspicious, and if JacobTheWerewolf shares the song, it will seem like a natural thing to do.

    As if Jacob received Noah''s tag and really liked the song, so he decided not to repost it and let his fans go and see what song the artist they liked was listening to.

    Considering how problematic the Furrys'' relationship with their parents is, it''s likely that they''re even more connected to music than other audiences.

    Wait, maybe I can even use this as an excuse to get Jacob to draw the cover of the song on MeTube because he thought the original cover was too ugly while he liked the song, so it will seem even more natural and the audience will be even more curious about the song!

    Deciding to do just that, the first thing I did was work on my MeTube and Twipper accounts.

    But here was the problem... I still hadn''t decided on a name...

    When I was thinking about a name, there was only one name that came to mind, but I still wasn''t sure if I wanted to use it as my stage name.

    Black Velvet.

    Considering that my last name is Black, this would really suit me, but the problem is the origin of this name...

    Black was not only my last name, it was also the last name of my current father, as well as my asshole father in my old world, and that was the name he used to introduce himself when he met my old mother...

    I wanted to think of something else, I even considered copying the name of a band that already existed in my old world, but come to think of it, in the end that was the name I went with.

    Even though I hated that asshole, I think I''ll use this as my only tribute and way of thanking him for asking God to bring me here.

    So today Black Velvet was born.

    For my logo I decided to just use the letters BV drawn inside each other in a cursive style, a bit simple but quite unique.

    When I weighed myself on the scale, I had lost another 1 Kg, of course counting what I lost while sleeping, but that brought my current weight to 140.3 Kg, so by the evening I would have probably dropped from 140 Kg to about 130!

    Unlike me, who woke up as if nothing had happened, Ethan''s whole body was sore.

    Seeing him walk like a robot to the kitchen table after getting dressed was very funny.

    "How about it Ethan, do you want to work out with me again today?" I asked, smiling as I ate the eggs my mom had made for me.

    I practically ate two breakfasts every day, with two pieces of toast with my dad before I went for a walk, and two eggs with bacon after I came back from my walk with my mom and siblings.

    For the amount of calories I burned on a daily basis, eating these eggs was the best I could do, maybe even increase it a little, since this protein served as a nutrient for the muscles that were developing in my body.

    Ethan looked at me suspiciously and asked. "How come you don''t feel anything? My body hurts so much!"

    Laughing, I replied, "I''ve been training for a week now, with time your body will get used to it, it''s just that yesterday was your first time and the first time always hurts.

    Hearing this, Ethan still looked at me a little suspiciously and replied. "I''ll try again today..."

    -------- Ethan''s comment --------

    This time, Ethan sat on the sofa with perfect posture, not because he was good, but because that was the posture that hurt his body the least when he sat down.

    "You know, when I woke up today, I didn''t want to train with Noah again..." He said. "I''m in so much pain that I think I''m going to turn into a real rusty robot, but it was really nice working out with him yesterday..."

    "Since I don''t have any homework today, I guess I can train with him, right? That way we can spend a little more time together." He smiled innocently as he looked into the camera.

    -------- Comment End --------

    Looking at the little boy, I couldn''t help but smile.

    Ethan was very cute, just like everyone else in our family, he also had black hair, but because of his age, he still had cheeks with a little bit of fat, characteristic of children, and very big, curious eyes that stared at everything around us because of his ADHD.

    "Can I too?" A slightly shy, deep voice spoke up.

    Hearing her ask to join in surprised everyone at the table.

    Olivia was so embarrassed that she quickly regretted asking to join us.

    But I quickly replied: "Of course you''re welcome. But why do you want to work out with us?"

    Honestly, Olivia didn''t need to work out.

    While I was the fat and ugly one of the family, and Ethan was the short and very cute one, Olivia clearly showed why she was part of the popular group.

    With long, straight black hair and white, well-groomed skin, she was one of the prettiest girls in school.

    Hearing my question, I noticed that Olivia quickly looked down at her legs before answering. "It''s nothing, it''s just that I think I can lose some of the fat I''m gaining by eating a slice of bacon every day."

    I realized that this wasn''t the whole truth, as she had thin legs, she probably wanted to make her legs a bit thicker, and from the tone of her voice, I have no doubt that after our conversation yesterday, she really wanted to try to get things closer and this was just an excuse.

    -------- Olivia''s Comment --------

    Sitting on the sofa a little embarrassed, Olivia looked into the camera and spoke very quietly.

    "I actually have two reasons for going to the gym." She began to explain.

    "The first reason is that seeing Noah lose weight so quickly has motivated me to start working out and lose some of the fat that has started to appear on my legs and butt." She said a little embarrassed.

    "The second reason is that the conversation we had yesterday was really good, I thought if we work out together we could have more conversations like that, right?" She asked a little hopefully as she looked into the camera.

    -------- Comment End --------

    "Sure, so today the three siblings are going to train together!" I said a little excitedly, feeling how good it was for the family to want to be with me.

    When we finished breakfast, I saw Olivia heading back to her room and called out to her.

    "Hey Olivia, wait a minute, I want to ask you something." I called out, causing her to turn to me in confusion.
