《The Pianist || MYG || ✔》39

"Actually," Daisy said, "That's what I wanted to talk to you about,"
"Okay," Yoongi said, waiting patiently for her to speak.
She looked up at him, tears in her eyes, "My father told me I could quit the piano," She said, the tears contrasting heavily with the smile on her face, "He said he was sorry for forcing me to do it for so long, and that he should have been less selfish,"
"Right," Yoongi said, fear shooting through his heart. If Daisy quit, she would be wasting so much talent. She had a gift for music, and he didn't want that to just go down the drain; all this time training and perfecting her playing she had finally made a breakthrough. However, making her continue with
"But," She said, snapping him out of his worrisome thoughts, "After he said that, I felt weird. He said I could pursue my art and even join a university to learn how to hone my skills," She paused, leaning down to pull her sketchbook out of her back. She opened it up and flipped through to the right page, "I drew this without even realising it,"
She held the book out and Yoongi took it from her, turning it to have a good look at the page.
His eyes widened when he saw the beautiful image sketched out on the paper in front of him. The detail was astonishing; gorgeous curves and dead straight lines with perfect shading and colouring on all the important parts. The drawing gave off a feeling of pure love and need, and it made Yoongi's eyes fill with tears.
"This is my piano," He said softly, gently running his fingers along the curved line of the propped open lid.

Daisy nodded, "I drew it how I imagined you saw it," She said, "And I didn't even realise I was doing it. As soon as my father left the room, I saw what I drew, and I had the urge to play,"
Yoongi looked up as she smiled, "I don't know why, but I want to play. But not for anybody but myself. Is that selfish?"
He looked back down at the drawing in front of him, "No," He said softly, "It's not selfish. You can't tell a story if you don't love it, right? I stopped playing because I thought I played for Isabella. It took me two years to realise that I didn't play for her, I played for myself. I loved her reactions to my music and how she would smile or relax. But if you think about it, it wasn't for her, was it? I played because I enjoyed how she reacted. That is how you should play, too,"
He raised his eyes to look at her, "I've said it so many times before. Music is a story, a tale of emotions and events that can be interpreted in many ways by the one listening. It is up to the storyteller to create the music that you want people to hear and understand. You can play the happiest song in the world, but if you don't feel the joy, neither will the one listening,"
Daisy nodded, "I understand that, now. I guess I should be thanking you,"
Yoongi smiled a little and looked back down at the drawing. It reminded him so much of when he had first seen the piano, set up in the large home he had shared with Isabella.
"Did I ever tell you about my piano?" He asked, not looking up at her, "About how I got it?"

"I vaguely remember you saying it was a gift," Daisy said, "But apart from that, I only know it's a Bechstein. A very expensive Bechstein,"
Yoongi hummed, "Yeah. It was a gift from my father-in-law. He brought it for us as a wedding gift, although I suppose it really was just for me, and not Izzy. We couldn't have a proper honeymoon because of all my different performance dates, so when we were in Germany for my final performance, he had it delivered and set up. When we got back I burst into tears when I saw it,"
He smiled fondly at the memory. Isabella was laughing as he cried. His in-laws looked so happy as he clung to their daughter, tears streaming down his face. He was embarrassed and shocked and so full of emotions that they told him something that he would remember for the rest of his life.
"You have so many emotions right now, Yoongi, that you obviously don't know how to let them all out. Why don't you just play, and express yourself that way?"
He had always known, of course, that playing your instrument was a form of expressing yourself, but he had never actually thought of literally playing his feelings.
"I didn't want to touch it," He continued, "It was so beautiful, and so ridiculously expensive, that I was afraid I'd ruin it. But they insisted," He laughed a little, "It was so embarrassing. I was crying while I played. Isabella was laughing at me,"
"What did you play?" Daisy asked curiously, looking at the way Yoongi was staring at her art.
"Turkish March," He said, "It was Izzy's favourite, and it was just perfect to explain how I was feeling,"
There was silence in the room before Yoongi spoke again, "Anyway, I'm glad you decided to continue, I really am,"
"Yoongi," Daisy stood up and took the sketch pad from him. She delicately pulled the page from the book and handed it to him, "You can have it. As a thank you. I will draw you a better one in the future, though, if you want,"
Yoongi's eyes widened and he took the paper from her fingers, "I can?" She nodded, and he smiled so brightly that she thought she was going to go blind. It was such a beautiful, genuine smile that she knew he was happy with her offer, "Thank you!"
"It's nothing," She said, a faint blush on her cheeks. She had never seen anyone so pleased with a piece of her art before; not that she had ever willingly shown anyone. It made her feel a sense of pride and completion, and she wondered if she could make someone feel that way with her music as well.
"So," Yoongi said, clearing his throat, "What do you want to play together, then? We don't have long before the concert, and you have two pieces to practice,"

Destiny: Infernal [DISCONTINUED]

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
