Gamer Superstar - Chapter 186

Chapter 186: 186 – Dedication
We started planning how we were going to get revenge at 10:00 p.m., and our plans were not finished until after 2:00 a.m., when everyone was exhausted from sleep and we had to stop for the day to go to sleep.

Fortunately, our discussion about it was very productive, and we managed to plan everything we could and try to adjust it as quickly as possible to prevent Dark Pistol from taking advantage of the hype of my music.

Since the song was already available for sale on their website and on platforms where the public could listen to it, it was already getting views, although it was just starting to get engagement.

The problem would really start when they released a music video for the song that would actually be widely publicized and attract a large audience to their band.

So we had to move as fast as we could.

Selena even canceled the shows I had scheduled for tomorrow and the next day because it was very important to deal with this issue at that time.

And I, taking advantage of the fact that I needed very little sleep, went back to my routine that I had abandoned of sleeping late and waking up early.

Even though I could sleep 4 or 5 hours a day and my body would function perfectly as if I had slept 12 hours, I would still wake up tired and with burning eyes, which was not one of the most pleasant sensations, although after a few minutes it would pass and I would feel as good as if I had had a long sleep.

But since I needed those extra hours in the day now, I slept at 2am when they left and woke up at 6am before my parents and siblings woke up too.

With my laptop on my lap, I started writing the script for the mini-documentary we were going to make.

Unfortunately, I noticed a problem… my writing quality for the script wasn’t as good as I thought it would be…

While I was able to write everything I wanted to happen in a clear and concise way, I still lacked the ability to express feelings and emotions in it in a way that would actually be interesting to people who had never heard of this story.

My writing, though clear, was very… raw.

So I started watching some videos and looking for books that explained how to do this in the best way possible, while dedicating myself as much as possible to learning it as quickly as possible.

Like most of my skills, I got an Lv of this skill in just 40 minutes.

[Writing Mastery Lv 1

Effect: Develops a better understanding of writing techniques, increasing your confidence and skill by 1%. This level includes advanced skills in narrative structure, character development, and use of figurative language. It also improves your retention of writing theory and its practical application to composition by 1%. Gain a tangible advantage by mastering the fundamentals of creative and expressive writing].

As soon as I received the skill, I felt the knowledge come into my mind, a feeling I should have been used to, given how many skills I already had and how much those skills were leveling up, but I couldn’t get used to it.

The feeling was very good, I believe that the dopamine I get when I level up skills also plays a very important role in making me feel so good when I receive these new skills.

But even though I felt good when I got this new skill, and I felt that my writing level was much better than what I had written before, I still knew that it wasn’t close to what was needed for the level of video I wanted to make.

Fortunately, the level for MeTube was much lower and simpler than the level for standard TV documentaries, so even if I didn’t have the skill at Lv 30 like the possible writers of most common TV shows, I would still be fine with it.

The big benefit I got from unlocking this skill was the increase in the speed at which I received information and learned about the skill.

Right now, this buff was only 1%, which wasn’t even a big enough improvement to change the speed at which I improved and learned things that much.

But when that buff reached 5%, 10%, or even 20%, even if the skill level number took longer to increase, like my other skills, I would still be learning much faster than in the beginning, showing the advantage that having the skills really gave me.

So I spent another 4 hours practicing this skill and managed to raise it to Lvl 6, giving me the experience of someone who had already practiced and dedicated himself to it for 6 full months!

The more I increased the skill level, the more I felt that I was learning quickly, but the longer it took to increase the skill level.

Fortunately, I was still below lvl 10, so the speed of leveling up didn’t slow down that much.

With the 6% bonus, I already felt how much better I was in that area.

And the fun part for me was comparing the speed at which I was learning this new skill to the time it took me to learn and improve my makeup skill, which really showed me that maybe I wasn’t omnipotent even with the system.

While I still had areas that were easier, I also had areas that were very difficult.

But I’m sure that if I didn’t have the system, instead of having a Makeup Mastery Lv4 that gave me 4 months of experience, if I didn’t have the system, my experience probably wouldn’t even be at Lv1.

So even though I had a low talent due to me, the system still greatly accelerated my learning speed.

With my [Writing Mastery Lv 6] skill, I decided to take a break from learning and use that time to continue writing the script.

Instead of writing this script with all the details of everything that would happen, I decided to write it so that only the most important and essential things would happen.

This was a word that I had learned in screenwriting, outline.

What I was doing now was a simple line that defined everything I wanted to happen, to organize my thoughts and to organize everything I wanted to develop for the story of the documentary.

This would be written in a very simple way that would understand my point of view, but also leave a lot of space open so that when I had my [Writing Mastery Lv 6] at a satisfactorily high level, I could fill in those spaces in the best way possible.

My goal was to actually start writing this tomorrow, Sunday night, or Monday afternoon at worst, which I hope will bring my skill up to at least Lv 16, giving me 2 years of Writing Mastery experience, which I think is enough for the quality I want.

During the day, Selena sent me a message with some jobs from directors she found that had a level close to what we wanted, that were available, and that wouldn’t cost too much.

I was so focused on developing the skill that I just let her do that part, since I already trusted her and knew she would make a good choice.

Jason also sent me a message letting me know that he was working on the footage and that everything was broken down into levels of importance as he saw it, with videos of importance 1 being the videos he thought were crucial, importance 2 being the videos he thought I might be interested in adding to the story, and importance 3 being the videos he thought I might be interested in adding to the story, but that he didn’t think were that important.

Videos with an importance lower than that he left in a separate folder in case I really wanted something, but they wouldn’t bother me.

His help was much more useful and practical than the way we usually did it, so I was very grateful to him.

Frank and Mark also sent me messages saying that they were together at Frank’s house while they were developing some songs that I could use in the background with different styles than the songs I already had, so I would have something to use if one of my songs didn’t fit well.

Everyone was putting in a lot of effort even though it was Saturday, the day for most people to rest and have fun.

Even my family was confused when they found me awake in the basement so early, concentrating on my laptop instead of sleeping off yesterday’s show.

At breakfast I told them what had happened and they were also furious with Dark Pistol.

When I told them my plan, surprisingly Liv and my mom quickly agreed to help me, even if I had to show them the reason for their online fight, how they had resolved it and were now getting along really well, they said that it would be okay to help me with this.

Honestly, this was the part I was most worried about going wrong, because I didn’t know how they would react and if I could count on their help or if I would have to work with actresses or create animation for it.

But since they were also willing to help, everything became easier, especially the script part, because I could do everything as faithfully as possible, and it would be even easier to show people the reality and emotions of the music in a realistic way. .

With everyone so dedicated, it encouraged me even more to make this work!
