Krishna was halfway through sketching the exaggerated neon skyline for the Crazy Frog music video when—
Ariel froze mid-air.
[Young master,] it said gently. [Incoming collaboration request.]
Krishna paused his stylus.
"...."
"Details."
A projection opened.
A UniNet stream channel—large, verified, chaotic in branding—had sent a formal invitation.
A live podcast collaboration featuring five streamers.
Among them—
LumiNyx one of the first who streamed Tom And Jerry.
Krishna's eyebrow lifted slightly.
The details scrolled.
[• Panel discussion + interview
• Behind-the-scenes talk on Star Entertainment
• Live fan Q&A
• Participation honorarium credits included]
The Entertainment System leaned over his shoulder dramatically, squinting at the projection.
[Ohooo. Public appearance. Words. Opinions. Unfiltered chat chaos.]
Krishna listened quietly as Ariel summarized the tone of the channel.
High engagement. Viral clips. Strong cross-galaxy reach.
"When?" he asked.
[They propose three days from now,] Ariel replied.
Krishna leaned back.
Three days.
Enough time to prepare. Enough time to observe the current climate.
He nodded.
-Nod
"Reply. I accept their conditions. I'll participate."
Ariel beamed and sent the confirmation instantly.
Meanwhile—
Across the galaxy—
The Orpheon Grand Theater Association released an official statement.
The announcement was polished. Elegant. Unmistakable.
[Orpheon Grand Theater Association proudly announces collaboration with Star Entertainment. A step toward the right future of cinema.
Two massive posters accompanied the statement:
• Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry
• 3 Idiots
Premiere dates. Theater allocations. Ticket booking portals—long lists spanning sectors.
Within minutes—
UniNet erupted.
[💬 User: CinemaPurist_88: Wait… ORPHEON?? With a NEW studio??]
[💬 User: TomJerry4Life: WE WON 😭😭😭 I TOLD Y'ALL THIS WAS BIG]
[💬 User: SkepticalSnout: This smells like hype manipulation.]
[💬 User: AllIsWell_42: Bro went from student project to galaxy theaters in one semester 💀]
[💬 User: EliteFilmCircle: Orpheon would not risk reputation lightly. This is strategic.]
[💬 User: MemeLord_Jerry: MY BOY RANCHO IS GOING INTERSTELLAR 🛸]
Then the pushback began.
[💬 User: GatekeeperGalaxy: Prestigious association lowering standards?]
[💬 User: ClassicCinemaOnly: Tom and Jerry is slapstick. 3 Idiots is sentimental. Not high art.]
[💬 User: PiaWasRight: Cry harder. People actually ENJOYED it.]
[💬 User: OldSchoolCritique: This is why modern cinema is collapsing.]
[💬 User: SpikeFan9000: Collapsing?? Theaters were EMPTY before this deal 😭]
War threads formed instantly.
One side:
[• "Industry plant."
• "Temporary hype."
• "Orpheon desperate."]
Other side:
[• "Fresh storytelling."
• "Actual emotional connection."
• "Better than recycled franchise clones."]
LumiNyx herself posted:
[💬 User: LumiNyxOfficial: You can argue all you want. But if a movie makes millions laugh AND cry, that's impact.]
Which triggered another wave.
[💬 User: FilmSnob_X9: Streamer bias.]
[💬 User: VerdantisFarmer77: My whole family watched 3 Idiots together. That hasn't happened in months.]
[💬 User: LogicOverHype: Let numbers speak. Ticket sales will decide.]
Within hours—
Pre-bookings began trending.
Server queues formed to gain the physical tickets since who were near the theaters.
And confusion among neutral netizens intensified.
[💬 User: WhoIsStarEnt: Can someone explain how I missed TWO hit movies??]
[💬 User: NewToUniNet: Is this the frog guy or the college guy??
[💬 User: ChaosEnjoyer: It's both. That's the scary part.]
Back in his room, Krishna watched the reaction storm unfold.
The Entertainment System popped up wearing boxing gloves.
[-POP!!!]
[Comment section championship! Round one! Ding ding!]
Krishna exhaled slowly. He didn't smile. He didn't frown. He simply observed.
-Sigh
"...."
Momentum was building. Not quietly. Not gently. Loudly.
And in three days—He would step into a live stream with five good streamers, including LumiNyx.
The spotlight wasn't just on his films anymore.
It was going to be on him.
Three hours later...
The character rigging for the Crazy Frog music video was complete.
Neon highways. Oversized speakers. Absurd cartoon physics.
Krishna stretched once.
That's when Ariel chimed softly.
[Young master, Kael Virex has responded. Studio access granted.]
Krishna found himself teleported to the VR studio.
Kael Virex Studio...
The studio was dim but alive with layered sound panels and harmonic absorbers embedded into the walls.
Circular waveform displays floated mid-air, pulsing faintly in anticipation.
Kael stood near the main console, adjusting levels.
When Krishna entered, he turned—half excited, half skeptical.
"You're sure you want to voice this yourself?" Kael asked.
Krishna simply stepped into the vocal chamber.
"...."
The glass sealed.
The instrumental track began.
The iconic bassline thumped.
Kael leaned forward, ready to guide—Then Krishna started.
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
Kael froze. The pitch was sharp. Elastic. Cartoonishly precise.
"...."
Krishna didn't miss a beat.
"Ring ding ding ding dingeringeding!"
"Ring ding ding ding dingeringeding!"
Kael's hand slowly dropped from the mixer panel.
Krishna's throat shifted subtly—micro-adjusting resonance like a tuned instrument.
"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"
"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"
Kael blinked. That wasn't normal vocal mimicry.
-Blink
"...."
That was adaptive harmonic modulation.
The beat kicked harder.
"Grrring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
"Grrring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
Krishna leaned into it, layering texture.
"Ding ding!"
He bounced rhythmically in the booth, fully committed to the absurdity.
"Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhhhh!"
"Bram!"
Kael shook his head slowly.
"…He's enjoying this," he muttered to himself.
The chorus loop hit again.
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
The transitions were clean. Breath control flawless.
The comedic timing landed perfectly on beat.
Then Krishna slid into the bridge, voice dipping and stretching unnaturally:
"Bim bim bim bim bim bim bim!"
"Bim bim bim bim bim bim bim!"
Kael leaned back in his chair. Half impressed. Half concerned.
"You realize," Kael said into the mic, "this might become the most annoying sound in the galaxy."
Krishna grinned inside the booth.
"That's the point."
The track ended with one final burst:
"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"
Silence.
"...."
"...."
"...."
Kael stared at the waveform display.
Clean peaks. No distortion. No retakes required.
He let out a slow breath.
"You're… ridiculous."
Krishna pushed the glass door open.
"And catchy."
Kael nodded reluctantly.
-Nod
"Yes. Unfortunately."
He replayed the full mix. The room vibrated.
It was chaotic. Silly. Infectious.
A complete tonal shift from 3 Idiots.
Kael glanced at Krishna.
"You're building emotional depth on one side," he said, "and weaponized stupidity on the other."
Krishna shrugged lightly.
"Balance."
The Crazy Frog project was officially in motion.
And somewhere in the galaxy, countless unsuspecting beings were about to have:
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding…"
…stuck in their heads for months.
Three days later…
The VR Podcast Arena pulsed to life.
A circular digital stage floated in a simulated night sky filled with drifting constellations.
Neon borders traced the platform edges while five holographic chairs hovered in a half-circle.
The five streamers were already live.
🎤 LumiNyx – pink hair glowing softly, succubus tail flicking with excitement.
🎤 VoidRant – tall, metallic-skinned alien with a voice like bass reverb.
🎤 ByteMancer – a crystalline being whose face glitched occasionally in stylish pixels.
🎤 GravPulse – armored insectoid commentator known for blunt takes.
🎤 EchoDrift – a calm aquatic humanoid with bioluminescent tattoos.
One by one, they introduced themselves as the viewer counter climbed rapidly.
"Welcome back to UniNet AfterHours!" LumiNyx said brightly.
VoidRant leaned forward.
"Tonight is not just another stream."
ByteMancer's avatar shimmered.
"Tonight we speak with the mind behind Star Entertainment."
The chat count skyrocketed.
[👤 TomJerry4Life: IS HE ACTUALLY COMING??]
[👤 AllIsWell_42: IF THIS IS BAIT I'M SUING]
[👤 GatekeeperGalaxy: Let's see if he can speak as well as he directs.]
The anticipation meter on the stream UI ticked upward theatrically.
LumiNyx smiled.
"And now… our guest."
The lights dimmed.
A pulse of gold radiated from the center of the stage.
Particles spiraled downward—
A chair materialized.
Then Krishna appeared, seated calmly at its center.
Black jacket. Relaxed posture. Golden eyes steady.
The chat exploded.
[👤 RanchoForever: THAT'S HIM. THAT'S LITERALLY HIM.]
[👤 PiaWasRight: RANCHO??]
[👤 SpikeFan9000: HE LOOKS EVEN BETTER LIVE WTF]
[👤 CinemaPurist_88: Wait… the actor IS the producer???]
[👤 VerdantisFarmer77: That's the guy who made my dad cry.]
The stream's viewer count surged so fast the number glitched momentarily.
LumiNyx recovered first.
"Krishna," she said warmly, tail swaying. "Or should we say… Rancho?"
Krishna smiled faintly.
"Krishna is fine."
VoidRant leaned back, amused.
"So the man who made an entire galaxy argue about education… is also the same man who made a cat electrocute a senior with a spoon."
Krishna nodded.
-Nod
"Range."
Laughter rippled across the panel.
GravPulse folded his arms.
"People didn't expect the director of 3 Idiots to also be the lead."
EchoDrift added softly,
"Nor to look this young."
The chat kept rolling like a storm.
[👤 MemeLord_Jerry: HE TALKS LIKE RANCHO TOO]
[👤 OldSchoolCritique: Let him speak before you worship.]
[👤 LumiFan99: Lumi looks nervous 😂]
[👤 ChaosEnjoyer: THIS IS HISTORY]
LumiNyx leaned forward slightly.
"The entire UniNet wants to know," she said. "How does a student build a studio that signs with Orpheon… in one year?"
The question hung in the digital air.
Millions watching. Krishna folded his hands loosely.
He wasn't nervous.
He had faced gunfire once in another life.
A live chat storm was nothing.
He glanced at the viewer counter—climbing relentlessly.
Then he answered.
"I didn't build it in a year," he said calmly.
"I built it the moment I stopped being afraid to make what I actually wanted to watch."
The chat froze for half a second—
Then detonated.
[👤 AllIsWell_42: BRO STARTED COOKING ALREADY]
[👤 TomJerry4Life: CLIP THAT. CLIP THAT.]
[👤 GatekeeperGalaxy: …okay that was smooth.]
The podcast had officially begun.
And across the galaxy—Every theater executive, aspiring director, casual viewer, and salty critic—
Was now watching the boy who signed with Orpheon.
Not as Rancho. Not as a meme. But as Krishna.
The podcast settled into rhythm.
Questions flowed. Fast. Sharp. Curious.
VoidRant leaned forward first.
"You went from student filmmaker to signing with Orpheon in record time. Did you expect this scale of reaction?"
Krishna shook his head calmly.
"I expected people to react. I didn't expect them to care."
Chat exploded.
[👤 AllIsWell_42: THAT'S DIFFERENT]
[👤 CinemaPurist_88: Smart answer.]
ByteMancer followed.
"Your tonal range is extreme. Slapstick animation. Emotional social drama. Now can we hear rumors of a new project?"
Krishna nodded.
-Nod
"Stories are tools. Different tools for different doors."
GravPulse tilted his head.
"And which door are you trying to open next?"
Krishna's golden eyes flickered slightly.
"The one people forgot existed."
That earned a pause from even the hosts.
"...."
Then came the inevitable question.
LumiNyx asked it gently.
"Where did you get your inspiration?"
Millions waited.
"...."
"...."
"...."
Krishna didn't blink.
"Imagination," he said smoothly. "Movies and series exist to expand it. I just leaned into mine."
It was clean. Polished. Untraceable.
Inside his mind—
[POP!!!]
The Entertainment System popped into existence, arms crossed, mask face exaggeratedly skeptical.
[Oh yes,] it whispered theatrically.
[Pure imagination. Definitely not a multiversal content vault in your mental attic.]
It leaned closer, stage-whispering.
[Tell them about the frog. Tell them WHO YOU REALLY ARE. Tell them about—]
Krishna mentally shoved it aside. His expression never changed.
"...."
The chat responded immediately.
[👤 DreamChaser99: That's poetic ngl]
[👤 GatekeeperGalaxy: Everyone says imagination. Be specific.]
[👤 TomJerry4Life: LET HIM COOK]
VoidRant pressed slightly.
"So no direct influences?"
Krishna shrugged lightly.
"Influences are everywhere. Conversations. Observations. Mistakes."
Technically true.
The Entertainment System sighed dramatically, spinning in mid-air.
[You are terrifyingly composed,] it muttered.
Meanwhile, the stream numbers kept climbing.
LumiNyx smiled softly.
"Your fans say your stories feel… personal. Especially 3 Idiots."
Krishna paused briefly.
"For some people," he said carefully, "fear becomes louder than dreams. I wanted to make something that turned that volume down."
That one landed.
Silence in the panel.
"...."
"...."
"...."
Chat slowed—rare and telling.
[👤 VerdantisFarmer77: It helped my family.]
[👤 AllIsWell_42: Damn.]
EchoDrift spoke next.
"Do you feel pressure now? With Orpheon backing you?"
Krishna's lips curved faintly.
"Pressure exists whether you acknowledge it or not. I just choose which kind I listen to."
The Entertainment System leaned back in a digital lawn chair, sipping imaginary juice.
[Look at you,] it hummed. [Public relations mode activated.]
Krishna ignored it.
"...."
The podcast continued for nearly an hour.
Behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Casting stories. How he balanced acting and directing. How he handled criticism.
Each answer steady. Measured.
Authentic enough to feel real—guarded enough to reveal nothing dangerous.
By the time the closing segment arrived, the stream had broken viewership records for that channel.
LumiNyx smiled warmly.
"Final question," she said. "What should the universe expect next?"
Krishna leaned back slightly in his floating chair.
He could announce the music video.
He could tease the next film.
Instead, he said something simpler.
"Surprise."
The chat detonated again.
[👤 ChaosEnjoyer: I'M NOT READY]
[👤 TomJerry4Life: HE'S COOKING AGAIN]
[👤 GatekeeperGalaxy: This kid is dangerous.]
The stream faded out with applause effects and virtual confetti.
The Entertainment System reappeared beside him, arms folded.
[Well,] it said smugly. [You survived interrogation without accidentally revealing your secret interdimensional piracy library.]
Krishna stood up as the VR room dissolved around him.
"I told the truth," he said calmly.
The system raised an eyebrow.
[Technically.]
Krishna smirked faintly.
-Smirk
"...."
And somewhere across the galaxy—Millions had just seen him speak.
Not as a character. Not as a brand. But as himself.
Which, in the long run—Was far more powerful.
The VR arena dissolved like dust in sunlight.
Applause faded. Chat vanished. Neon constellations blinked out.
Krishna stood once again in his room on Astraea Prime.
Quiet. Still. Only the soft hum of Ariel's presence remained.
[Well,] the Entertainment System said, reappearing upside down mid-air, [you did not spontaneously combust under public scrutiny. Impressive.]
Krishna ignored it.
"Ariel," he said calmly, "open Scene Creation Module."
The room responded instantly.
Walls dissolved into white space.
A radiant green grid expanded beneath his feet, stretching infinitely in every direction. Panels hovered into existence, displaying character rigs and environment layers already prepared.
At the center—The neon frog.
Chrome skin. Oversized goggles. Exaggerated proportions. Pure chaos energy.
The background loaded: a hyper-saturated cityscape of glowing highways and absurd perspective curves.
"All assets loaded," Ariel chimed cheerfully.
Krishna cracked his knuckles lightly.
"Music track," he said.
The bassline hit.
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding…
The frog model bounced slightly in idle stance.
Krishna stepped into sequencing mode.
He adjusted timing markers along the waveform timeline, syncing body motion to bass pulses. The frog's head tilted forward—
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
Jaw open. Elastic stretch. Lip-sync calibrated to millisecond precision.
The frog vibrated with cartoon physics.
Kael's mix played again—
"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"
Krishna exaggerated the frog's cheeks, made the goggles shake, inserted a micro-delay head snap right after the "pow."
The Entertainment System leaned back on a floating beanbag, munching imaginary popcorn.
"You are weaponizing absurdity," it commented.
Krishna rotated the camera angle dynamically.
Zoom in. Zoom out. Dutch tilt during the "Bim bim bim bim bim!"
He layered exaggerated spine compression during bass drops so the frog looked like a rubber spring on caffeine.
Ariel occasionally highlighted frame sync discrepancies.
"Lip alignment off by 0.03 seconds," Ariel noted gently.
Krishna adjusted.
Perfect.
Within an hour—The sequence was complete.
Frog bouncing across highways. Zoom transitions synced to beat spikes. Chrome reflections flashing rhythmically.
It was ridiculous. Energetic.
Unapologetically loud. The final chorus looped once more.
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
Krishna scrubbed through the timeline one last time.
Clean. He exhaled.
"Render preview," he ordered.
The frog filled the screen in full motion, absurd and unstoppable.
The Entertainment System slowly stood up and clapped.
[I hate it,] it declared solemnly.
Pause.
[It will go viral.]
Krishna allowed himself a small smile.
"...."
From emotional depth to chaotic noise in the span of a week.
Balance.
"Prepare upload draft," he told Ariel.
The frog froze mid-bounce on the final frame.
The galaxy didn't know it yet—
But something incredibly annoying was about to invade every feed.
