Influencer by Accident

I'm a backend developer. I write code, I debug, I avoid sunlight. My idea of “socializing” is sending memes in Slack.

So explain to me why I just woke up in a luxury penthouse, inside the body of LIA LUX, one of the biggest fitness influencers on the planet. Millions of followers. Viral TikToks. Yoga at sunrise. Collabs with protein brands I can't even pronounce.

I’m in bright blue leggings so tight I can feel every breath. My phone keeps buzzing. Comments. Mentions. Live in 2 hours, it says.
Wait. Live?!

I try to cancel it. No luck. I try to act normal, but the mirror says otherwise — high ponytail, flawless skin, body made of angles and curves. I don’t even know what half these workout poses are called!

I open her DMs looking for help, and they're full of:

“Queen, can't wait for your new glute circuit!!”
“Will you show us your new protein smoothie recipe today??”
“You’re such an inspiration!!”

Great. If I mess up, I’ll destroy a brand, a career, and possibly invent a yoga pose that causes lawsuits.

But here's the thing… once I hit “Start Live,” something clicked. The lighting hit just right. I smiled — her smile — and said,

“Hi, babes! Ready to sweat with me?”

And they loved it.

I think I’m getting the hang of this.
God help me… I think I like it.
