Starving Artist Tutorial

Caged Within an Artificial Eternity

In this cage...there was no afterlife... Within the birdcage...there were neither deities, nor captors... Life was simple and meaningless. Death was truly and bluntly, an end. The birds held captive in their cage were unable to escape, for no matter how starved or frantic a chick was, they couldn't dent steel with their soft beaks. Who could feed the starving birds? They couldn't even feed themselves? The birds, trapped in their infuriating prison and desperate for any food at all, celebrated in joy when a banquet started! Food for as far as their eyes wished to imagine! And what a FEAST it WAS! The survivors stood over the leftovers of their meals, their ravenous beaks licking away the blood staining their tainted feathers. They knew this solution wasn't sustainable, and rather than waste away by praying to a non-existent heaven, they grafted their own Gods out of the bones of their former kin. ___________________________________ "The Birdcage" is a world with a barrier made of an indestructible material at its edges, from earth to sky. Inside this confined land, lavish resources filled the fields for as far as one could wish for, though its inhabitants were alone without any other living creatures outside of themselves. The world was peaceful and prosperous, until an unknown cataclysmic plague swept the land, poisoning and rotting almost all natural resources and food that existed. The people, starving and in despair without so much as a god to pray to for help, resorted to the only food left in the entire birdcage. Themselves. After the ensuing frenzy, they forged a ritual for a chance at salvation. They created their own Gods known as, “Concepts,” that embodied their artificial beliefs and ideas, though their desperation only furthered the destruction of what was considered natural. The world is fading away. There’s no point in family, society, nor unity. Either find a fleeting, pointless escape, or succumb to your fate and be devoured by the starving.

Reincarnated into a parallel world with a mysterious system, Lucas finds himself with an extraordinary ability: the power to master any artistic skill with ease. From painting masterpieces to composing symphonies, crafting intricate sculptures, and performing breathtaking dances, Lucas goes on a journey to redefine the concept of an "artist." But the world of art isn't all inspiration and applause. Behind the glitz of fame lies a fierce competition for recognition, a labyrinth of creative challenges, and a society skeptical of anyone claiming to be a "master of all." As Lucas navigates the intricacies of this new world, he uncovers hidden truths about his system, his past, and the sacrifices required to achieve greatness. In a story that blends passion, talent, and ambition, Lucas proves that being an all-round artist is more than just a gift—it’s a challenge to create a legacy that resonates through time. Will his artistry inspire a generation or crumble under the weight of expectations? --- [A/N]: This isn’t your typical “overpowered MC solves everything instantly” story. While Lucas’s talents might seem like cheats, the challenges he faces—be it artistic block, personal relationships, or societal expectations—are deeply human and relatable. Whether you’re a fan of creative industries, emotional growth, or just love a well-written slice-of-life with a touch of drama, this story has something for everyone! Expect a mix of heartwarming moments, tense rivalries, and an MC who grows into his role, all while mastering the arts in ways that’ll leave you inspired. Updates are consistent, and I’m always looking for feedback to improve the storytelling! Give it a try—you won’t regret it!

The Starving Dogs

After a mysterious gas was released into the planet's atmosphere, the population suddenly found themselves with mystical powers. Ranging from superhero abilities known only in comics, to incredibly specific and hardly practical. When your worth is now decided by birth, how does one live? When talent merely becomes a word to explain a fortunate ability, how do you stand out? Heroes, Villains, Vigilantes. Stories and myths of such beings became commonplace. Governments requiring powerful abilities to keep order. The Hero Association attempting to keep its influence through monetization. Villain groups abusing their powers. Vigilantes attempting to fight against such tyranny and unfairness. Corruption rampant as always. Like stated, these stories are commonplace. Mass produced even. So what about a narrower focus? A lawless city ruled by an order of Street Gangs. This isn't the story of a selfless uprising Hero, or a Villain who wreaks destruction, or even a Vigilante who wants a better world. Rather it's a story of the struggle of the strong. People who gather others underneath them, and fight against rivals. All to rise to the top and rule this city. Would you care to join? This isn't a grand story, it might not be to your taste. Can you stand beside those who struggle, without a guarantee for a satisfying end? As they fight to stand at the top, or be consumed? If so, allow me to tell you this story. (WARNING: THIS VOLUME CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND STRONG LANGUAGE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED)
