[Welcome back, Von. The Superstar System is online.] 

Von spent his life as a 300-pound recluse, watching his sister work herself out just to keep him alive.

When his heart finally gave out at twenty-four, his only legacy was debt and a sister left crying over his death.

But that wasn't the end. 

He is back in 2019, six years before the day that killed him. He is still overweight, still broke, and still a nobody. But this time, he isn't helpless.

Armed with the knowledge of future hits and a System that turns his sweat into skills, Von isn't just trying to survive anymore. He is out to conquer Hollywood, dominate the charts, and become a legend.

[Von... Are you ready to become a Superstar?]

Now, standing in a two-hundred-thousand-dollar studio, it was time to cash in.
