Music Mayhem: Rise of the alien princess
This is the tale of a former human, which was transformed into something she could never imagine by powers beyond her comprehension.
The world she lived in got flipped on its head after a strange day, where red letters scarred the sky. The message that was brought by these letters was a simple, yet initially cryptic one: “I will make you pay. With your lyrics, with your songs.”
This was the utmost repressed feeling and lust for vengeance of a not so young decaying idol, which after much frustration and being fired due to her losing all the popularity she previously acclaimed, got tempted by a strange weird black letter. The text put her on a journey she would never return from. By following the letter contents, she was able to uncover a weird artefact, but little she knew, that the box contained a powerful entity which was more than pleased in converting the idol woes into a harsh reality.
Once the artefact manifested, a new powerful being which, by the lack of other terms, is referred to simply as “Amazing Magician” got released upon the world and now, the simple act of singing a song can transport a person to a parallel reality which is governed by the, more often than not, the harsher and most sadistic possible interpretation of the song’s lyrics. The way out? Good luck trying to understand the new meaning of the lyrics and how to “solve the story” that the lyrics created.
The world quickly transformed into chaos, as sweet and innocent songs, oftentimes, include one or two simple phrases that can transform all the meaning into a living hell, as simple as promising to give someone your heat… literally. Blood, deaths, mutations, new entities, races, technological marvels… It was a true revolution of the world.
Now, in this new scenario, valiant idols group to face this new challenge. Singing is no longer about only pleasing the audience, but also about surviving and outsmarting the system.
Author note: this novel is inspired by an RPG character that I made and played with. I decided to adapt all her tale into a novel; knowing this, I give all my thanks to WokgranX which created the world where Kurohime lived her history.
