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.

Dayo's eyes widened. He blinked twice, rubbed his face, and checked again. Same results.


S for dance. SS potential. At just twenty-two. That wasn't just "good"—that was a foundation strong enough to shake stages for years. Dayo had seen some scary stats before, but this… this was on another level.


His mouth went a little dry. This guy… is no joke. The thought of having Min Jae as an opponent already felt heavy.


Min Jae must have caught his expression. He tilted his head, curious.


Dayo snapped back quickly. "Yeah, yeah. Just… tired from the flight."


But his tone gave him away. Min Jae's eyes narrowed slightly, like he sensed more behind the answer. Still, he didn't press. Instead, he stretched out on his bed, calm as ever, scrolling through his phone.
