Dayo had dreams of becoming a music superstar. That dream was alive until he was struck with a condition called spasmodic dysphonia at an early stage — a cruel twist that stopped him from singing, as every attempt brought pain. But that didn’t stop Dayo. As he grew older, he found another way to connect with music, becoming a prominent music producer known globally for creating quality music.

Still, he never felt truly satisfied. Deep inside, the desire to sing burned. So he took the risk — singing through the pain — even after his doctor warned him he might lose the ability to speak if he pushed too far. And yet, he pushed. Finally, after three months, he recorded the single he had dreamed of.

That was when his life ended.

A gruesome accident… and then, opening his eyes, he found himself in a completely new world — one where all the art, music, and movies he knew had never existed. Excitement filled him… until the familiar dread struck. He still had the same condition that once robbed his  ability to sing.

He was devastated.

Then—

DING!
SYSTEM INITIALIZING

There was hope to sing again.

Applause. Screams. Chants that refused to die down even after the race had long ended.


"Like imagine swimming 3 main event and winning it."


 Dayo lifted his head slowly, still sitting on the bench, chest rising and falling hard. His body felt heavy, like it had been drained and refilled with something unfamiliar. He rolled his shoulders once and let out a breath.


Dayo looked up and saw Evan standing there, hands on his knees, breathing just as hard, sweat dripping from his hairline. His face was tired, but there was a grin on it that refused to leave.


"That was crazy," Evan said. "Absolutely crazy."
