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.

And you could see the result on Selena's face, her little mouth hanging open in shock as she looked me up and down, her gaze focused mainly on the tinfoil on my head.

The only thing I still hadn't managed to do was bleach my hair like in my previous world, so I still didn't quite look like the character I use on the channel.

That's why I bleached my hair now. I liked Noah's current black hair, and I would probably let my hair grow back while I cut off the bleached part, but since I made my channel's visual identity with my character having bleached hair, I thought it would be cool to shoot my first music video with a camera that looked as similar as possible to the way my audience would picture me.

Now that my body was slim, I could finally buy nice clothes to wear that would match the style I was creating for BlackVelvet, as well as nicer clothes for me to wear on a daily basis.

The combination of a black band shirt that was a bit baggy in the belly but tightened the muscles in my arm, a tall body and a confident, relaxed smile on my face made Selena stare at me in shock as if I were someone else.

I don't blame her for meeting me in baggy clothes that made me look even fatter, but now she was finally getting to know me.

"How did you look so different?" She asked again, shocked when she saw me sitting in a rocking chair in the driveway with tinfoil on my head.

"Is that the first thing you ask when you see me after all this time?" I asked, pretending to be hurt, but the satisfied smile on my face showed that I wasn't hurt.

She just stared at me with her serious expression and I sighed as I answered. "I told you, I exercised three hours a day and controlled my diet as much as possible. This was the result." I said.

"I didn't even know such a big change was possible in such a short time...and your hair? Why do you have that on your head?" She asked, pointing to the aluminum on my head.

At that moment Liv came out of the house with a spatula while looking at her watch. "Time to get that out of your head, Noah." She said as she looked at the clock on her phone, when she looked up and saw Selena, she smiled as she raised her hands in embarrassment. "This was his idea."

Looking at the spatula on Olivia's hand, Selena glanced suspiciously between the two of us.

Liv followed her gaze and explained. "He traded his help with his hair for a song for me." This confused Selena even more.

This confused Selena even more. "A song for her?"

Sighing, I stood up and went to the sink to wash my hair. "It's a long story, let me get this out of my head first, then I'll tell you."

Nodding a little at a loss, Selena just let things play out as she tried to figure out what was going on, I guess my move was too big for her head to process.

She came over so we could go together to my first gig she'd managed to book.

My family was also excited and went with me to support me, so everyone was a bit busy.

When I finally got my hair done and put on the outfit I was going to wear, I just felt like System had to give me another notification that I'd gotten another charisma point for dressing like this, but I knew it wasn't that easy to get points.

"Everybody ready?" I said excitedly as I walked down to the living room to find my parents, Liv, Ethan and Selena waiting for me.

When they heard my voice, they all looked at me expectantly because of my hair, even my mom, and I could tell by their reaction that they liked it.

My mom and dad were a little confused by the whole style, but they still gave me a thumbs up smile.

Olivia looked at me with sparkling eyes as she smiled.

Ethan was staring at me in fascination, just like when he saw me the first time, maybe he'll ask me to do the same with his hair? I hope my mom doesn't kill me for this...

Selena, on the other hand, had the best reaction as she literally froze in shock when she saw me with my hair done and the outfit I was going to wear for the performance.

The outfit I wore was a tucked in shirt with a cherry blossom tree design, in the style of a slightly baggy rock shirt with a more open collar, which really showed off my collarbone and slightly defined trapezius, the pants were just black jeans, but what made a big difference was not only the muscles I showed off, but also the accessories I put on, like the bracelets and the black necklace I bought.

This combination of accessories completely changed my image.

From a fat guy with social problems and low self-confidence to a rebellious young adult who probably has a rock band in college.

I had to change my style for my career and I finally did it.

"YOU... ARE... AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!" Ethan shouted excitedly as always, playing the role of my biggest fan haha.

Since the family car would be too full with the five of us, even though Ethan was still small, Selena invited me to come with her in her car, which I accepted, but when I heard that Ethan wanted to come as well, so the three of us came in Selena's car and my parents with Olivia in my dad's car.

Despite her young age, Selena drove a white Tesla Model Y, which I thought suited her.

"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.
