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.

Silas Vane woke before the officers came to collect him, although he had barely slept through the night. His lawyers had warned him that the trial would be difficult, and none of them had offered him any real hope of walking out of court a free man. The evidence against him was extensive, the financial records had been examined repeatedly, and the prosecution had spent months building a case that connected his business dealings to several serious offences. What remained uncertain was the sentence. Silas still hoped that the court might consider the arguments for leniency, even if he knew better than to expect a miracle.
