83 – Luna Nyx Debout
- Random Plebeian of Valoria POV -
The sun was hot, very hot, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Even though I really wanted to use the internet and have fun while experiencing so many interesting and different things, I had to control myself a lot, because if I didn't help my family harvest these grains by the end of the week, we might run out of money to buy food, since our supply is running out...
While I was harvesting the grains, my mind kept thinking about the amusing things I'd read on the Internet.
Gossip about wizards in Arcantor, noble dramas in Eldoria, all sorts of things I'd never imagined I'd learn about in my lifetime, things so far removed from my reality that, thanks to the Internet, my family no longer had to talk about the neighbor's kids every night for lack of a topic.
My parents no longer compared me to the girls who were prettier than me and how easily they got husbands while I struggled to attract anyone's attention...
For the first time, I was grateful to my mother for teaching me to read.
Even though she taught me to read to help me get the attention of boys, now that I could read the stories on the Internet by myself, it was incredible.
The books about princesses who married knights, or princesses who became powerful wizards... it was all so magical...
Unfortunately, there was no way I could use the Internet while I was harvesting the beans, because I couldn't hold the Internet book, and I couldn't read while I was looking at the plants.
The only thing I could do was learn how to read and write through Father Robert de Arcantor's lessons, but since I already knew how to read, I didn't want to spend an hour of my daily use on that.
So I had to make do with memorizing the interesting stories while I worked.
After two hours, something confused me.
As I approached the place where my brother was harvesting, instead of listening to the lesson on reading and writing as usual, I heard a different sound coming from his Internet book... a rhythmic, song-like sound...
There was even a voice singing something that I couldn't understand because I wasn't very close to him, but I knew it was a female voice, very different from the voice of Father Robert who gave the lessons every day.
"Julian, what's that sound?" I asked curiously as I approached him.
The closer I got, the better I could see Julian, and I noticed that he was staring dazedly at the Internet book, as if hypnotized by something.
When he heard my question, Julian looked at me startled and quickly closed the Internet book, making it disappear as the music suddenly faded.
"That was nothing!" Julian said scared as he went back to picking beans, trying to ignore me.
Since I was already 15 and Julian was only 12, I could read him very well and knew he was lying.
So I rushed to his side and grabbed his ear, just as our mother used to do to discipline us, and asked in the most authoritative voice.
"Tell me what you heard, Julian! If you don't, I'm going to tell our mother that you weren't helping with the harvest and were having fun on the Internet!" I said.
Even though we'd only had our first Internet access for a week, my mother was already very angry with us for not helping to harvest our crops, so Julian and I know very well how angry she would be if she found out he wasn't helping.
Hearing this, Julian quickly turned to me with the horrified look on his face that I had imagined, and begged me.
"Please don't tell her!" He begged desperately.
"Then show me what you saw!" I said again.
Hearing this, Julian sighed and brought up the Internet book again as he opened it and showed me a new application on the Internet!
This app was called [Mystic Melody], with a blue icon with a very beautiful and elegant symbol.
"I've been using the Internet to learn to read while working to harvest the grain, but when I saw this new app, I clicked on it out of curiosity and was surprised to discover that it was a music app!" Julian said as he clicked on the app.
As soon as he clicked on it, the screen of his book changed to a screen I'd never seen before.
The thing that caught my eye the most was the picture of a beautiful girl with blue hair in pigtails that fell over her shoulders, looking up at the sky with a thoughtful expression.
The dress she was wearing was so beautiful that I felt a little jealous myself, wondering if I would be able to wear something as beautiful as that one day.
Next to her picture it said [Listen to Luna Nyx's new album!]
"I was surprised when I saw this girl in the picture and I clicked on it out of curiosity, what surprised me was that when I clicked on it, a song came out of the internet. Julian explained as he demonstrated clicking on the image.
As soon as he clicked on it, the image changed to a list of names, the first name on the list glowed blue, and a song actually started coming out of his Internet book!
"In your eyes I see the sea, so deep and endless...
Your smile lights up the night like a sweet clarion's guide....
The stars in the sky dance to the rhythm of our love...
In your arms I found my peace, my eternal dove..."
Hearing the female voice from Julian's book and imagining everything she was singing in those lyrics made my mind wander.
It was only when the song ended that I was able to come back to reality.
"What a beautiful voice..." I said unconsciously and got a nod from Julian who agreed with me.
"Yes, that's why I was distracted when you arrived..." He said sheepishly.
Realizing that I had done the same as him, I let go of his ear and let him go. "I'm not going to tell our mother about this, okay?"
Hearing this, Julian nodded excitedly and smiled at me and went back to picking beans while listening to the music.
Noticing that the volume was getting lower, I quickly started harvesting the beans next to Julian to continue listening to the music through his internet book, and before we knew it, our harvesting efficiency today was much higher than the other days!
When his time was up, I prayed and the two of us shared the music through my internet book.
Even though we'd heard all of Luna's songs, I had us listen to them over and over again, to the point where we could even sing the choruses!
The songs were so good that we listened to a total of 6 hours of music, 3 hours on my Internet and 3 hours on Julian's.
By the time we got home, I was so tired that I had to spend a Premium Internet Coin to use the Internet for another hour.
This time, I started researching Luna Nyx on [Carrier Pigeon], and people's reactions were exactly the same as Julian's!
[I never thought it was possible to listen to music like this. It's like magic! The sound is so clear and the voice... Luna's voice is like hearing the angels themselves! My work in the fields seems easier now that I can take this melody with me]. When I saw that comment, I already understood that this was a man from the countryside, just like me and my family, so I understood perfectly what he was saying!
[Luna Nyx... her appearance is so ethereal, as if she is a creature from another world. And the music... it's just incredible! Listening to it on the Internet is proof that magic isn't the only way to wonder. Your music even seems to strengthen my spirit]. That was a comment from an Arcantor wizard, the style they write in is a bit difficult for me to understand, but I think I got the idea of what he meant.
[Listening to Luna online while I train gives me a boost I've never felt before. Her voice is powerful but soft, like a war song disguised as a sweet melody. I never thought something like that could be so useful for keeping up the pace!] This seems to be a knight who has been practicing and listening to the music, just like Julian and I.
People from all walks of life commented on Luna's songs, with the vast majority of people liking them and commenting positively, and only a few people saying they didn't like them very much.
In addition to the comments from people reacting to Luna, there was one post that was featured on my [Carrier Pigeon] with over 100k likes!
Out of curiosity, I looked at the post and was surprised to see that it was written by Luna Nyx herself!
[Hello everyone, I have prepared these songs for you together with Lord Athenos and the God of the Internet so that the magic of music can accompany you and brighten up your daily lives no matter where you are!
I'm very happy that most people liked my songs and had fun listening to them.
More music will be coming in the future, so keep an eye on my [Carrier Pigeon] profile and my [Mystic Melody] profile!!!]
Looking at this post, with thousands of likes going up every second, I couldn't resist clicking like myself and opened Luna's profile to see what it was like.
Her profile was beautiful, with a [V] icon next to her name.
Curious, I clicked on it and a description of what it meant appeared.
[This profile has been verified by the God of the Internet that this person is real and not a fake].
I was surprised that this was confirmation from the God of the Internet himself that this was the real Luna!
When I looked at her followers out of curiosity, I was shocked to see that she already had 230,000 followers! And the number was growing extremely fast!
I didn't even know how many 230,000 people there were, let alone imagine that so many people could follow one person on [Carrier Pigeon]...
But I was happy, Luna was making my day so bright that I was very happy for the good things that were happening for her.
