Chapter 52 [Bonus ] 52 - The Ideal Appearance

    ??"How?" Selena stared at me in shock, noticing the glaring difference I''d made since the last time she saw me two weeks ago, when we signed the contract.

    When we signed the contract two weeks ago, I still weighed about 120 kg, when I weighed myself today, the number that appeared on the scale was an incredible 93.7 kg!

    That''s a loss of over 25 kg since the last time I weighed myself, and considering the muscle mass I''ve gained with the high-protein, high-fiber diet I''ve been eating and the amount of exercise I''ve been doing every day, the muscles that were once covered in fat were now quite visible.

    The big proof was the difference I saw in my status.

    The difference in my stats was striking. The more weight I lost, the harder I could train and the more stat points I could gain with each workout.

    But the indicator that my appearance had improved so much was that my charisma was now at 13 points. It was a level I could match with the Thirst Traps on the Internet, making me a real pretty boy, but that alone wouldn''t get me very far, since my looks weren''t that good, so I needed another talent.

    That''s where my music came in, which along with my looks would be a great catalyst to increase my popularity.

    Now that I was in the pretty boy group, it was easier to get the public''s sympathy.

    "Are you nervous about your first show?" she asked after the shock of my change had worn off.

    "Nervous? I don''t think so, but I''m very excited...it seems surreal that after such a short time in my career, I''m going to be able to perform for the first time and get paid for it, haha." I said excitedly.

    Smiling, she replied. "You''ve become a Rank E artist, even if you''re still at the bottom of Rank E, you''re already officially a Rank E artist, so it''s not surprising that you can already get places to perform without much difficulty. Normally, the hardest thing to get is when the artist is still at Rank F, so in your case, this is no longer a problem."

    I nodded in agreement.

    Since the release of The Lazy Song, which exceeded 1 million views in one week, I had risen from F Top 97 to E Rank.

    Now, officially at Rank E and looking the way I wanted, my career was really starting to take off.

    And with the results I saw on my MeTube channel from the release of Boyfriend yesterday, I was confident that today''s show would be a good one.

    Of course, no one would know me there, I would only be filling a slot, there would be other artists performing before and after me, but I was confident in how much I had improved with the system to convince people that I would be one of the best, if not the best, tonight!

    ------ Charlie''s POV ------

    When I arrived at the bar my friends had asked me to go to, I felt a little strange.

    It''s a different feeling to be in a place like this right after a breakup because it feels like you''re doing something wrong, you know?

    Even though there were a lot of guys trying to get close to me, I still felt a little guilty and couldn''t really let go.

    What I started to do during the party was to focus on the band that was playing and try to enjoy myself when they played a song that I knew.

    Most of them were trying to show off some of their bad original songs, but I couldn''t blame them for trying to promote themselves.

    They were mostly rookie artists who were still learning at Rank F or frustrated old artists who couldn''t rise from the low Rank E.

    Even though I was still a student at a music school and was already a Rank F artist without trying very hard to climb the ranks, if I really dedicated myself, the chances of me being above these people in rank were very high.

    So in order to have fun, I just tried to turn my mind off by going into trance mode and enjoying myself when they played really good music.

    My friends had already disappeared after some guys came to talk to them, so in order not to be alone on the dance floor, I approached the stage and took a closer look at the bands playing.

    What surprised me was when the manager came on stage and announced the next artist.

    "Good evening everyone, thank you for coming tonight. Now we are proud to present an up and coming artist doing his first show!" The manager said, getting some of my attention. "He just started his career a month ago, going from an unknown artist to an E-list artist!"

    When other people heard this, they were shocked to hear how rare it was, but I didn''t think it was a big deal, hadn''t BlackVelvet done the same thing?

    I really doubted that this artist that was coming up was going to be better than BlackVelvet.

    "Give it up for BlackVelvet!" The manager said excitedly, while part of the audience clapped politely and the other half clapped with a little interest.

    But I stared at the stage with a slow mind, trying to figure out what he''d said.

    "Are you kidding me?!" I asked myself in shock as I tried to process if this was true.
