From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 262 Avatar

- He's rapping? - Damn, I missed him rapping. - What the heck? Did he get better at rapping, too? - I started watching after June's rigging scandal was debunked. I am shocked, to say the least. He can rap? - Bro, he's even playing the piano while rapping. Do you know how impressive that is? "In the depths of my mind, I had a vision so clear,

A dream so vivid it fueled my fears.

But I knew deep down I couldn't do it alone,

I needed the strength of those who called me their own."

June struck the keys with intensity. One could even compare it to the sound of a drumbeat echoing through the hall. Each note he played was an explosion of emotion. And as the melody flowed from the piano, he continued to rap, spitting out the lyrics in a clear, powerful voice. He kept up with the rhythm flawlessly, as if he wasn't multitasking after all. And then, just when they thought it couldn't be more impressive, June began to rap in triple beats. His words poured out like a waterfall without pausing for breath. Yet, it didn't look like he was having any trouble at all. "Genius," Casper whispered, gazing at the screen with sparkling eyes. The lightning bolts that momentarily illuminated the stage now fully lit it up, casting the team with a brilliant light. At that moment, other instruments joined in, too, with drumbeats and electric guitars dominating the sound. There was a slight pause, with the other members waiting for June to assume his spot. However, it wasn't awkward at all. It just gave the watchers more time to appreciate the beautiful, well-arranged instrumentals they'd never expected to come out of the signal song. As the chorus approached, C-Jay assumed his position in the center. Then, with a hard stomp of the feet, the LED screen behind them began to crack like ice—sharp and stunning. The icy-cold atmosphere was enhanced by the fog effect that danced at their feet. "Dreams come true when we're together,

Hand in hand, in stormy weather.

With the people around, we'll reach for the sky,

United as one, our spirits flying high.

United as one, our spirits flying high!"

Like ice, they moved like stiff robots, their movements perfectly synchronized.

None of their dance lines were out of place, and it seemed like their hours of practice had really shone through. They looked like a group performing in a mega dance crew competition! As the performance transitioned into the second verse, the tempo slowed down, yet the electric guitar continued to add a rock-inspired edge. However, the drumbeat was now replaced with a delicate harp sound. The crowd gasped as Johnny and Jinsol took center stage, performing ballet movements that defied gravity. The members behind them employed simple movements, which made their performance stand out even further. Their every step was like poetry in motion, and the added wind effect gently touched their hair, adding an ethereal quality to their performance.

Sehun joined in for a mesmerizing combination, their movements resembling a tug of war between three opposing forces—three elements. Then, a trio of piano sounds resounded, filling the air with a haunting melody. The stage transformed as if the very earth itself was responding to the music. For the second chorus, platforms rose and fell like majestic mountains, yet even when the members were on varying platforms, their dance was still very synchronized. "Dreams come true when we're together,

United as one, our spirits flying high!"

Their stomps and powerful footwork reverberated like thunder, and it was in time with the beat of the song, accentuating the arrangement further. In the determination to showcase all of the elements, a fiery display burst forth during the bridge, startling the audience as an explosion illuminated the stage. At this point, their movements became even more intense, and it felt like the very stage would shatter under the power of their dance moves. "They say dreams are just fantasies, illusions we chase,

But with the right people, they become our saving grace.

Together, we rise, we conquer, and we soar,

As dreams come true, we'll shout it out and so much more.

So let's celebrate the dreams that come true,

With faithful friends, there's nothing we can't do.

My dreams and I forever entwine.

My dream to be an idol on cloud nine." Despite the intensity of their movements, their vocals remained live, and June's voice, in particular, resonated with clarity even as he reached the highest notes. The last chorus arrived, with all previous effects being stripped down. But it was precisely what the audience needed at that moment. It allowed them to catch their breaths and enjoy all of the elements they'd watched previously. With only a few lines left, they stepped forward, giving it everything they got. They exchanged looks with each other, and it was a touching moment as all of them had smiles on their faces. The team wasn't nervous at all. Instead, they were actually enjoying the performance. And for June, that was more than enough. Oh, who was he kidding? June wanted to take a peek backstage and take a look at Lin Zhi's face so he can scream—'suck it, fucker!' "Dreams come true when we're together,

With the people around, we'll reach for the sky,

United as one, our spirits flying high." For the people in the bottom ten, they felt like they had nothing to lose. Some of them had already stripped the hope in their hearts, knowing that debuting would be like reaching the stars. However, with this performance alone, they already felt satisfied. Instead, they wanted to root for the person who made this stage possible. With the performance reaching its end, all of them stood on the stage, their chests heaving. They stood in one line, delivering their last line with intensity. "Now and tomorrow, remember my name.

Starlights shine bright, our flame. Through every trial, I've come this far.

I'm your Rising Star!"
