It seemed that Alison was able to overcome her slump and find inspiration. She is an excellent musician, and an excellent lyricist. Now that she has written a good song, her path will become smooth again, and I am sure that she will easily manage to write several more wonderful compositions.
The song ended, and the room became silent again. No one made a sound, everyone was looking at me, wanting to hear the verdict.
"Great song. I liked it. I'm glad you were finally able to throw away all your prejudices and present this world with a wonderful track."
"Don't think that I will forgive you only for such insignificant praise," Dazzler said in a firm voice, but I noticed how she took a few breaths, wanting to calm down. It seemed that my opinion was important to her, and she tried her best to get my approval, but she was not going to show it at all.
The song was really worthy of attention, perhaps it will even be able to stand on par with the masterpieces of my past world. I was pleased with the result of her work.
"Alex," Alison threw an intent look at my modest person. "I remember you promised me to compose five songs. At the moment, I only have the title song "Firework", where are the other four? I have an album to release soon, don't make me wait even longer."
"Okay, okay, I'll think of something now," I said, as if I had nothing else to do.
"Right now?" the girl asked again with bewilderment.
"Yes, right now," I confirmed, and went into the recording studio, taking an electric guitar.
"Start recording. The first song is called Hot N Cold." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHNpusq654]
I started strumming cheerful notes on the guitar, and soon the music was born.
This is a song by American singer Katy Perry. I decided to give Alison the songs of this particular singer, as I think they perfectly suit the character of our Dazzler.
This track is dedicated to all the indecisive, fickle people - people who cannot explain what their choices are made of. A choice that is always different.
The chorus will feature a series of double antonyms (hot / cold, right / wrong, black / white) to emphasize the changeable nature of the characters' relationships.
"Well, how is it?" I asked with a caustic grin, finishing the performance.
"I hate you, Alex," Blair said.
"Oof! It's a shame to hear that... And what about the song?"
"Do I still need to answer? Of course, it's excellent, but kill me, I don't understand where you got such a huge talent for music. I'd better keep quiet…"
"The second song is called - The One That Got Away."

This song was more lyrical, with a much greater and deeper meaning. The song is about how people are not always able to keep the promise they once made to be together until the end. The song is about bitter regrets and irreparable losses…
Yes, these tracks differ in style. A sad song follows a more cheerful one and vice versa, but what's the difference really. Although it is not customary to collect dissimilar compositions in one album, it doesn't really bother me, because these songs are unique.
And who actually cares? Oh yeah, the critics... Well, let them go to hell with their opinions, because the main thing is that people like them.
"Let's move on to the third song. Part of Me."
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuwfgXD8qV8]
This composition carries a powerful motivational force, encouraging you to not give in to anyone and to value yourself. Bright, loud and inspiring music does its job, touching all the strings of the soul. When I finished singing the last line, I felt a burning gaze on me.
"Admit it, you wrote these songs in advance, maybe even years ago, and now you're just bragging here," Alison said, not believing herself.
"But these songs are simply wonderful!" she squealed with joy. "With them, I will burst to the top of the musical Olympus. My return will be truly grandiose, and even legendary. With these songs I will sweep everyone into dust, and I will shine. Alex, let's play the last song quickly. I still have to work on the arrangement after this. I don't have much time," Blair hurried me.
"Um, yeah, right... The last song is Unconditionally."
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjwZAa2EjKA]
This song by Katy Perry tells about unconditional love for one person. Melodramatic, poetic, and simply a beautiful composition with its own twist.
With a touching melody, with a simple subtext, just an ordinary declaration of love. And it doesn't matter who says the words of the song - a man or a woman - the main thing is that they sound from the heart.
I finished singing, and with that I fulfilled the promise I made to Alison. But the day hasn't passed yet, I have a lot of work, and in the evening an endless fight with a bat awaits.
Oh, I wish it would hurry up, I haven't been hit in the face for a long time. You thought I was becoming a masochist?
Ha-ha, no, it's not like that, it's just that this self-hypnosis is the only thing that saves me from these endless beatings, which I accept with great joy.
I wanted to improve my fighting skills as quickly as possible, and fighting, as it turns out, is the fastest way. Wait, I seem to be in tears... Lord, give me the strength to survive all this…..

Hey all, I just wanted to let you all know some things.
One question which is very frequently asked is that "when will he gain powers?"
And that's pretty normal since normally on this site, mc gains their power well around 20-25 chapters and we are close to 100 mark and still no sign of it, so I'll let you all know that his first interaction with a high level marvel character is coming soon, around 125th chapter and he'll gain his first power (not counting inventory) around 132 chapter.
Can you all guess what it is going to be?
.....
As always, love you all and don't forget to shower me with some power stones.
