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.

The lights held on him. The studio waited.


Orion's voice echoed through the silence. "And you're…"


The suspense dragged. The lights flickered red, then green.


The crowd exploded. Orion stood, laughing and clapping. "He got it again! Jeffrey, wherever you are, your brother just made four thousand dollars!"


Dayo grinned, pretending to wipe fake sweat from his forehead. "Man, I thought my brother was about to cost me live TV embarrassment."


Orion shook his head. "It seems it's really in the blood. I need to get your brother on the next episode."


"He'll probably win too," Dayo said, laughing. The cameras zoomed in on his grin—calm, confident, yet full of life.


Orion shuffled his cards, leaning closer. "Alright, JD. We're getting serious now."
