Chapter 201: Popular
It was almost impossible for anyone on the ground to see him properly, as the blurry figure of a boy with large wings on his back flew towards his house.
In a few minutes, he had arrived at his house. Without going through the main door, Lucian just opened the window of his room and entered.
The moment his body touched the bed, he was asleep, even the hunger was not enough to wake him up.
******
Several hours had passed. When Lucian had returned home, it was morning, and when he woke up, it was morning again.
He slept for an entire day. Even now, he only woke up because of hunger and thirst.
On that planet, Lucian had barely gotten any sleep in an entire week because of the lingering danger of those insects.
As Lucian opened his eyes, he could feel that his body was already back to its peak, which was also because of Velm. He felt refreshed mentally and physically.
But as he was about to sit up, Lucian felt some weight over his arm. Looking to the side, he saw the little Tess sleeping while using his arm as a pillow.
\' Haa, I really missed seeing her, and now it truly feels like I am back here alive, \' he thought, then slowly removed his arm from under her head and replaced it with a pillow.
Then he picked up his mobile to check the date and time. More than a week had passed, and the present day was a holiday.
Even though he had left his mobile behind, he had forgotten to turn it off, so the battery was completely depleted.
He plugged in the charger, and soon notifications began to pop up one after another.
" I have a lot of missed calls and messages. "
One by one, he began to check them all.
As he had expected, his dear uncle Robert had the highest number of missed calls over the week. He had even sent hundreds of messages. It seemed like he was really anxious.
Lucian decided to have a talk with him after checking other things.
" Perv and Eric, they have called me too. " He checked their messages, and it seemed that both of his friends were worried about him.
In his earlier messages, Eric had clearly shown his surprise after he checked the balance in that card, and just as Lucian expected, Eric hadn\'t used that money yet.
He probably wondered if Lucian made a mistake by giving that much money to him.
Then he had received several calls and messages from the drama club, especially that one girl who was going to perform with him very soon.
She had called him a lot of times over the week; she also seemed very anxious.
There were a few other calls and messages, and one among them caught his attention.
It was from an unknown number, but after reading the text, Lucian instantly understood who was the sender of the message.
" Thank you for saving my wife. At first, I believed your message was just a prank or a scam, but I still got my wife checked, and it turns out you were right.
Since it was still in the early phases, it was still curable. Again, thank you. I would like to thank you in person. Please tell me where I need to come. I can never forget this debt… "
This message had come from the same singer whose song Lucian had used and was now calling it Broken.
In his previous life, the wife of that singer had died, and then he wrote this song before he committed suicide.
Lucian just sent a text, \'It\'s fine,\' since he had already taken his fees for doing this. If he hadn\'t intervened, then the singer\'s wife would have definitely died.
" Ah right, I vaguely remember seeing a rally after coming out of that sewer, and the people were doing it because of Gold? " Lucian wondered as he thought about that rally.
He decided to check these things over the internet. Without wasting any time, he went online and searched the song.
And what he saw surprised him. The song Broken had become a much bigger hit than he could have imagined. It was already at the top of the list in the music section.
On YouTube, in just a few days, the views were going into hundreds of millions, and the rate at which they were growing was just mind-blowing.
Even his channel named Gold already had millions of subscribers with only one video. There were already so many fan groups and social media pages of his fans.
The lyrics, the tune, the instruments, and the voice— everything was just perfect. All the other new and old songs were pushed down; the famous singers were shadowed completely by Gold.
\' It was very popular even in my previous life too, especially because of its lyrics. They could just convey such intense emotions. Even if someone reads those lines without any tune, they would feel sad.
But now, this song was reaching much higher than before.
Probably my voice also played a role. \' Lucian thought, as he looked at thousands of comments pouring in with each passing second.
[ Yes, your voice had already reached the pinnacle of what a human can achieve, and now it had even surpassed that point.
So with those lyrics and your voice, this song was bound to cause such a big commotion. But this is just the start. ]
\' Anyway, the important thing is I\'m going to get a lot of money because of just one song. I should release a dozen more songs… sigh. \' Lucian released a happy sigh.
RING RING
For the fifty-seventh time in the day, Lucian got a call from his uncle.
Seeing Tess\'s peacefully sleeping face, he walked out of the room and picked up the call.
" Sigh. Where has that bastard gon- oh wait, he picked up cough cough. "
Lucian heard his uncle\'s familiar voice from the other side. He wasn\'t expecting that the call would be picked.
" Hello? Lucian? Is that you? " A worried voice sounded. There was also a light chuckle from the background.
The chuckle probably came from that bakery owner who is Robert\'s friend.
" Yes, uncle, it is me. Sorry for not picking up your calls in the last few days, " Lucian replied, his face emotionless but his voice was filled with apologies.
" You made me so worried. Are you okay? Nothing is wrong, right? The money is s- safe- COUGH.
You are safe, right? I meant, do you need some money? " Uncle spoke in a hurry as if the call might cut off at any moment.
" Actually, I was in an accident, and I received some internal injuries in my head. I had just gotten conscious. " Lucian said, his voice containing a hint of weakness.
" Oh my God, how did that happen? Are you alright now? Where are you? I and your aunt will come there to meet you immediately. You don\'t know how worried she was for you, " Robert spoke.
