At a very early age, Bo had a passion for music. He loved how songs could charm the very soul. He promised himself he would become a great musician one day. Although passionate and determined, Bo lacked the raw talent to play any instrument, let alone sing. But he refused to let that stop him.
By twenty-one, Bo had tried every talent show and audition in the city of Lin, but all ended in failure. With his dreams shattered, he left the city to start anew. For months, no one heard from him. Then, suddenly, Bo returned with several caravans and a full music crew.
He was a changed man. His talent was beyond anything the city had ever witnessed. Bo came back with a well organized production team and several recorded songs of his own. His skill in singing, songwriting, and guitar playing stunned everyone. Soon, he became a sensation. The same shows that had once rejected him now hosted him as a special guest.
Exactly one year from the day he left, Bo and his crew departed the city again, taking their act on the road. Days later, national television stations began broadcasting Bo’s performances and his new music. The soothing power of his songs earned him the nickname The Midnight Ballad.
Years later, news broke of Bo’s mysterious death though no body was ever found. Rumors flooded in about how he had risen to fame so quickly. Some claimed that one of his crew members confessed Bo had found a mysterious teacher who transformed his abilities. Others believed he had made a deal with the devil himself by selling his soul for talent, fame, and wealth. And when his time came, the devil claimed both his body and his soul.
