I'M Clearly An Actor, Why Did You Bind Me To A Music Library?

[System, Entertainment Industry, Comedy, Acting, Music, Transmigration, Power Fantasy (Shuangwen)] [AI generated summary] After a lifetime of relentless effort, actor Ye Xiao finally lands his dream—the leading role in a major production. His triumph is cut tragically short when a freak accident on set ends his life. He reawakens to find he's been given a second chance, transmigrated into a parallel world where the entertainment industry is the most glorious and respected path one can take. His excitement soars when a System binds to his soul, a golden ticket in a world built for stardom. However, his destiny takes a sharp, comical turn. The System, his supposed key to success, is a vast "Music Library." For Ye Xiao, a dedicated actor who is completely tone-deaf and can't read a single note of music, this is a cruel joke. The System's first directive is an ultimatum: rise in the music world and earn points, or face a second, permanent death. Forced into a career he knows nothing about and is hilariously inept at, Ye Xiao's first request to his omnipotent System isn't for a chart-topping song, but for help enrolling in a basic music class so he can learn to decipher the "ghostly talismans" it calls sheet music. This novel follows the comedic journey of a man who wants to be a legendary actor but is forced by a life-or-death system to become a music icon first. Armed with a library of classic hits from his old world but zero personal talent, he must reluctantly conquer the music charts, all while hilariously trying to steer his chaotic new life back to his true passion: the silver screen.

Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed?Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him.Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices...Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!).[This story is a modern world LitRPG where I try and balance the real world, the other world and various character-development scenarios. The pace can be described as 'measured', as there is a lot of 'slice-of-life' style events to balance 'number-go-up' and Territory capture]What can you expect from this story? MC and side characters who are flawed and make mistakes, but ultimately grow and change, bettering themselves and the world around them. Yes, the MC does start off a bit weak and whiny, but he does get over it as the story progresses. It's a slow burn though.Likewise Harem and romance. it is most definitely harem, though again it's a slow burn and not easy to reach. There are some r18 scenes with them, but these don't happen until a fair way into the story.Real-world consequences of power. I'm trying to explore this slowly, so expect politics down the line.Base-building in both the real and the other world, growing power, money, influence and more. it's a slow burn but a focus.Cultivators, Faeries, Demons, Gods and more, though again, it takes a while for more and more of these to appear.

Chapter 23 - Trouble 8

I heard Mrs. Atkins sigh. "Even if you boys aren't totally in the wrong, we should still pay for the bat."

"Tell you what, if you guys pay for the broken bat, I'll give you a discount on a new one." Mr. Williams spoke up.

I lifted my head, filled with hope. I really like batting with a wooden bat. Even though it felt heavier and different, it was something new.

Mrs. Atkins saw my excitement. "Okay, deal." Then she looked at Noah. "But we're still having a talk with your father when we get home. Just because you're right doesn't mean you're not in the wrong." Damn. It was like she could see right through her son.

I looked at Noah, nervous that he might get upset since he looks to be in trouble, but I'm not.

He rolled his eyes. "Don't pity me. Mom's just mad that I was rude and outspoken. She just might ground me."

"Or no cookies for a straight week." She countered.

"Nooo. Mommm." Noah pleaded. "You know I didn't mean it. It won't happen again."

She looked skeptical. "We'll discuss punishment at home." I shivered at the word. "First, lets get the appropriate bat. I feel like we should wait until your father gets back. He's more knowledgeable when it comes to this."

"Jake wants the same one as this." Noah looked towards me for confirmation and I nodded along eagerly. "He was excellent with this bat. Twelve for twelve up to the 85 mph cage! And then he fouled all twelve 100mph pitches and put those guys in their place. But then they wanted to count only hits, yet he could still hit some! He was amazing mom!"

"Oh?" Mrs. Atkins tried making eye contact with me, but I looked away shyly. Noah was just bragging; I'm only good in the cages. "Well how much is a brand new version of this bat?" She looked at Mr. Williams.

He thought for a minute. "With the discount, I can sell you one for $120. Plus the fifty you owe, it'll be $170. Is that fair?"

She glanced at Noah. "That's usually on par with your aluminum bats right?" He nodded. "Okay, but Jake, you'll have to take care of this bat. We can't afford any spares at the moment."

I nodded. I would agree to any conditions to get this bat. A new one is even better!

"This is your first wooden bat, right?" Mr. Williams asked me.

I nodded.

His lips twitched. "It's a bit harder to take care of compared to an aluminum bat. Will you remember how to look up how to take care of it when you get home?"

"No worries. I'll look it up and print it out for him." Noah interceded on my behalf.

"Very well then. We won't be held responsible after the sale is finalized." Mr. Williams stayed clearly. He looked at the pieces I was holding and raised an eyebrow. "You gonna toss that? Or just keep holding it?"

I looked at it sadly. This was my first bat since my hospital visit. It didn't last long, but it gave me hope. I didn't really want to part with it.

"Do you have a box we can put the pieces in?" Mrs. Atkins suddenly asked. "Technically we did purchase it so we might as well take it home as a souvenir or something." She winked at me. "Right, Jake?"

I nodded, enthusiastically. That's exactly what I want.

Mr. Williams chuckled, but didn't comment on my peculiarities. "Well, lets get you the new bat too and send you boys on your way." He stood up and led the way out of the office.

I looked at Noah, grateful to meet a friend like him. He looked at my face and laughed. "Don't look at me like that. This isn't anything special. Just another day with the Atkins family." Then he lowered his voice. "But if I do lose my cookie privileges, you must share with me."

I nodded quickly. I owe Noah more than just cookies.
