Being a top-level audio mixer and editor was always William's dream. From a young age, he loved computers and audio editing, and he knew beforehand that his future life would be connected to it in one way or another. As he grew into adulthood, he learned and practiced everything he could to become a good editor. He often spent entire days in front of his computer, locked in his room, day and night preparing mixes and edits of songs. He knew he was on the right track when his friends were amazed by the results of his work; they were fantastic. Many of them used his songs at casual parties and, of course, invited him to join in too. After all, the fun came from him, since music is what gets a party going.

Each song he created and edited was a great personal triumph for him because it represented another step in the right direction toward achieving his dream someday. He dreamed of being part of a record label and being hired at one of its studios. There were many in Buskeria, so if you did things right you could end up in one of them.

It seems life wasn't kind to William from the start, as a fall awaited him after what had been an endless climb. He thought he'd been lucky because his talent had landed him a job as a music editor at a studio. He already believed he was on top of the world and had triumphed; in fact, that was part of his dream. But this dream was a nightmare disguised as a dream. Because of this position, he would face great hardship in the future. It turns out he was assigned an editing job. It was a responsible position. They trusted he would do well, given his previous experience and considerable knowledge. But they underestimated him.

Although he knew a lot, he was still very new to the profession, so he wasn't the right person for a complex editing job. His bosses should have checked this beforehand, but they didn't. William, caught up in the excitement of the moment, got carried away and didn't set limits on what he could and couldn't do. So, both sides made mistakes. As expected, William made a mistake that ruined the song, and they had to start over. Because of this, he was fired from his job at the recording studio.

But it didn't end there. The studio heads also smeared his resume, warning other studios in Buskeria not to hire him because they claimed he was incompetent. As a result, William struggled to find work in a studio again. No one wanted him because they believed he was incapable, which was untrue. He was incredibly talented; he just hadn't been given the opportunity to prove himself. And when he did get the chance, he was pushed too hard. William, for his part, didn't set any limits when he could, and this was the result. He had to take on extra jobs unrelated to music; it was the only way to survive and face another day.

Since he had been discredited, he had to do something to repair the damage. So, while working odd jobs, he returned to creating music independently. He edited his own songs and those of others, hoping that one of them would reach a studio and they would recognize its potential. But that didn't happen quickly. A long time passed, during which there were only rejections and mistreatment, and no one wanted to truly see if he had changed or if he was as good as he claimed. This was really hard for William. But things started to turn around when one of the songs he wrote became popular.

Several studios in Buskeria noticed him and reconsidered whether they might have made a mistake by judging him too quickly and without checking his work. One studio called him in to see him in person. When he demonstrated his talent in the editing room, they were amazed because he was so good. They realized they had all treated him unfairly. So they hired him. But from the start, William would set limits on what he could and couldn't do, so that something like that wouldn't happen again. At least life was smiling on him again.
