《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 212: Music Plan I
Advertisement
Music had to take the helm for the most part and knock Old Sullivan's Alex acting plan out of contention.
To do that, something extremely noteworthy must happen to put stuff into the spotlight.
People were shocked by his so-called "natural" acting talent and it had locked his grandfather's thoughts in a direction that Alexander did not want.
Something more shocking must happen to divert that locked thoughts and have them shift into a direction that Alexander wanted.
It was a harmless family game of schemes and influencing. None would get hurt and it was extremely excessive when it shouldn't be, however, Alexander wanted to take part in it and win.
Since it was the supremely shocking factor that was needed, he just had to do his part!
-----
On a certain voice recording day, Alexander had just finished dubbing some of his Goku parts and it just so happens that Old Sullivan was present in the CREED premises to oversee some things.
Taking this opportune chance, instead of taking his usual break, Alexander entered the specialized room where the musical instruments and music team were hanging out.
Of course, it was essential that Old Sullivan "knew" where he went, so he had Cocky Cox unwittingly tag along for them to be extra notable.
The dubbing team was unclear as to why the Dragonball VA main duo was headed towards the music-specialized room but it did put some light on what Alexander was doing.
Curious folk tends to try to get to the bottom of curious events. Curiosity spreads as well and with the special Creed little boss involved, everything compounded to fit the stage that Alexander wanted things to set.
All that he had to do was perform.... and perform was what he did!
-----
The music team was unsure as to why their quirky little boss had entered their work premises when he usually wouldn't and doesn't all. However, they still had to accommodate. He's the little boss, after all.
"Is there anything we could help you with, little boss?" Asked a man fiddling with a guitar.
"Mr. Guitarman, I'm quite interested in music at the moment. Would it be okay for you to give me lessons?" Alexander's calm tone was laced with "curiosity". Of course, he had already given these random employees their appropriate designation as soon as he took note of them.

"Er..." Mr. Guitarman wanted to introduce his true name but he also knew the circulating naming perk of this little boss of theirs. There was no getting around that now, so he may at least cater to the request. "Well... if you want to learn the guitar, little boss. I guess I can still teach you the basics."
"That would be fine by me." Alexander nodded in agreement.
Everyone inside the room now knew what he wanted and the music team was quite intrigued with what was happening as well. It's not every day that the boss(or little boss in this scenario) would want to learn something from his employee.
They were even somewhat envious of Mr. Guitarman as well, since being the little boss' guitar teacher must mean a bonus or something. Thoughts of offering instrument lessons had come up in their minds from the pianist to the special synthmen.
They still had to wait though as Mr. Guitarman and the little boss had already settled down. Mr. Guitarman had a guitar in hand and it was quite handy that there were extra guitars that seem to fit quite well with a ten-year-old trainee.
Since there wasn't much fun to do in this room of theirs, spectating shouldn't be a bad idea.
Everyone watched and expected to see a normal step-by-step tutoring, however, their expectations were wrong...
-----
Mr. Guitarman lessoned about the techniques of strumming. The way how the nails should touch the strings and what motions the hand should take.
Little boss Alex followed the directions. His wrists were troubled for the first five times but they became methodic, rhythmic, and stable after that.
Everyone commended it as it was a relatively easy thing to do. Little boss Alex had done well, however, there were still hurdles to come.
Mr. Guitarman taught how to do the C chord and little boss Alex had done quite well after repeating it a couple of times.
The spectators commended inwardly but they knew that there were still much harder hurdles to come.
Mr. Guitarman taught how to do the D chord and little boss Alex had done quite well after repeating it a couple of times.

The spectators commended inwardly but there were still hurdles to come. It was no time to be impressed... however... wasn't the D chord and its variants one of the hardest things that beginners would encounter?
Mr. Guitarman taught on with the next following chords and even mixed it up a bit by having the little boss re-do some chords that have been learned.
Little boss Alex responded with ease and did the chords as Mr. Guitarman had instructed him to.
The spectators... well... they were now impressed! Much more so when the much more complex chords were tackled. The little boss had mistakes the first few times but had already achieved some bits of mastery in the following repeats.
From the simple C to the most complex 6-string F, the little ten-year-old before them had consistent repeats and mastery all throughout.
They finally realized that this was not normal step-by-step learning at all. It was a blitz of learning through and through.
Even Mr. Guitarman felt the pressure from this abnormal student and upped the challenge by teaching a complex riff.
The little boss was still the same though. He just consulted which was next from a certain point, repeat it a couple of times, and after that, he would be able to do it at an already passable level.
The only thing that made it an imperfect copy of the riff was the limitations of his ten-year-old hands and fingers.
The inexplicable learning proficiency was apparent to everybody in the room and everyone hissed from their reeling shock.
Courteney, who had been dragged to spectate and knew about the boy's "music" plans, were in the same boat as them. Wasn't she already shocked by the boy talking about a music business? How come he had to become a music monster now
Her perceptions of the world had been overturned many times now that she felt that everything was spinning wildly. It was a good thing that she stopped herself from fainting.
After all, the guitar session with Mr. Guitarman was just the start.
Mr. KeyMan, Mr. Drums, Synth Team, and all the rest had their own teaching turn and their teaching shock. Even Mr. Guitarman had a recurrence as his Mr. Electric Guitarman but the monstrous little boss still match whatever they taught.
At that point, Courteney and the un-coping had already steered clear from the room to breathe fresh air. Most of the shocked teachers had to rethink their reasons for existence.
Although the little boss had only employed the basics and some hard things they threw in, his learning ability and now surfaced musical talent had still made most of their efforts on their respective instruments to be somehow pointless.
It was acceptable if the little boy was just talented at one instrument but how come he had to be so freakin' stable at all of them.
Of course, the little boss performance that happened in the music room had been spotlighted. Everyone interested in what the little boss was doing in that room knew what happened.
Some of them had sneaked into peak after all. CREED and Creed Animations were multi-functional and connected overall, so an inter-Creed channel of little boss gossip had already been circulating around.
Little boss Alexander Creed was a learning freak and a music monster!
Old Sullivan, who was inspecting company operations, was a gossip mingler as well, so his old heart felt young again when he knew about it!
It was supremely shocking that his old bones just want to get to the bottom of things.
-----
The entire Creed companies were abuzz and the music plan had its amazing Kickstarter!
Alexander's 20-plus years of being a semi-recluse in his past-future CREED came quite handy. He dabbled in many things and he was quite proud of himself to have played around with his collected instruments that had not been selling at all.
Perhaps past-future CREED's unprofitable-ness had set itself up for this re-life moment!

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
