《So, Reincarnation Didn't Work Like I Thought》A Music Lesson (Chapter 11)
Advertisement
While I rested in the back chamber, there wasn't much to do. Not physically, at least. I kept myself busy by watching what everyone was doing, and influencing them emotionally if I felt the need to. I didn't feel that need. One of my daughters- the one who had tried to talk to me last night, came up to me, and sat down and just seemed to be enjoying the companionship. My legs weren't as bad as Djraine's were, so I brought the girl with me outside.
She was a wolf spider, so she couldn't climb the tree with me (she might have been able to but widows handle falls better and I didn't want to risk it) so instead I just had her wait and I got a few of the bigger, softer leaves and brought them down. I showed her how to attach them together with spidersilk, which was an easy enough thing. She probably knew how to do it anyway, just not for this purpose. I had her follow me and we went up to Djraine and I started putting the admittedly basic aid on one of the worse parts, and made sure it stuck on. I couldn't hold it on and apply silk to keep it in place at the same time, so I was glad to have an assistant. Hopefully Laina wouldn't mind taking on this job.
Back outside again, I noticed a couple females talking to each other in that language I didn't know. I felt happiness from them when I approached, but they stopped talking. I was a parent, and I only now realized how much time had gone by without singing a single lullaby! I hadn't done it even once. Maybe I could change a word or two here and there for validity's sake and teach them some songs I knew the emotional context of. I knew the words to the songs, of course, but I didn't know their translation. Heck, one of the songs even was stated to be 'an ancient song in a long lost language'. Using emotional transmission and words, I knew how to sing to the girls in a way they'd understand it properly.

"Lee ay yui
no boo meh no
ren miri
yo ju yo go
hasa tayka na ey
kuta ma ey"
It was a sad song, full of hopelessness and depression, but exactly as full of hope for salvation from that despair. A song of faith. The girls felt everything, and they seemed charged from it, but they still didn't really understand. It took me a little bit but they did eventually know what I wanted- them to sing along with me, memorize the words and how it felt to hear and sing it. Once they tried a few times and finally got it, I heard a familiar soft ding in my head.
I've sung that song many times when I was on Earth, singing along with the show, but I never got an effect like that. "Information hymn of faith".
I thought it was time to teach another song, and hope for similar results.
Yo way yo.
Yo way yo, home va ray
yo way ra, jerhume arachne
Yo way yo, home va ray
yo way ra, jerhume arachne
Yo way yo, home va ray
yo way ra, jerhume arachne
yo way ra, jerhume arachne
A song of doom, knowing full well that you will definitely die, and everyone you ever loved already did. The original creator said something about it being 'They sung an ancient song in a long lost language. They fought on, not really believing they would win, but knowing they would die for a worthy goal'. I had to make sure the girls, Lyre and Dulcet, would understand this one too. It was very repetitive, but short, and I thought it would be more difficult to teach than it actually was. As I had hoped, I heard...
"Information the Last Song".
Well with an effect like that, no wonder I considered it to be a song of faith, just like the other one. I'd leave the girls to figure out other songs. They had rather nice singing voices, now that I got to actually hear how they sounded for an extended period. There was a male wolf spider drider over off to a side, playing with something. I could look through his eyes and see it, but I thought I'd walk over there instead since Dulcet and Lyre probably wanted to get back to whatever they were talking about earlier.

He was moving rocks around. That's it. Just picking up rocks, looking at them, and putting them back into a pile. A couple of them looked somewhat different from each other; one of them a deep black. It wasn't obsidian, or glasslike at all, but it was still remarkable for the group of stones it was a part of. I talked to him for awhile, trying to figure out what he was doing, but he didn't really seem to have much of a plan. I left him to his own devices and went to check up on Laina and Djraine. They were both getting along and the wounds were getting patched up half-decently.

The Children of the Divine Limit
A realistic, psychological isekai: What pushes people to rejoice, to torture, to sacrifice, to kill? What gives some the will to survive and thrive in a new land and others the craving for dominance and exploitation? What would those who grew up without power all their lives do when given the approval and blessings of God Himself? How far will someone go to protect those close to them? How far will someone go to exact vengeance against an unjust world? How far can someone go before the abyss looks back at them? "Everything in the world is about sex — except sex. Sex is about power." - Oscar Wilde “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” - Abraham Lincoln Greed is the worst of all the deadly sins; all of human history lays out the evidence to support this thesis. Consider all of the above before reading this story: A 12th-grade high school class is sent to another world; a world of sword and magic called Omicron where other-worlders are revered as heroes given the divine blessing of the Lord God Sapiora, creator of Omicron's human race. It is currently a world at war. The humans of Omicron need these divine heroes as weapons against the Demon Emperor and the demihuman forces of the evil god Azazelin. However, two students within the class, Ajax Leonid and Shaula Seikennith, haven't been given the hero's blessing. They've been given something else, something more curious; the blood of a deity who noticed their specialness. As a result, after escaping the clutches of their summoners who tried to kill them for their lack of heroic potential, Ajax and Shaula enter the new world of Omicron with no one on their side except each other. While wading through rivers of blood, Ajax and Shaula seek a stable life, a life where they can salvage happiness. They have each other above all else. Perhaps the cost will be worth it. Perhaps not.

Wilberforce
The seven worlds have been a place of war and carnage for hundreds of years. The strong enslave the weak and take over their world just to have some extra space.

MC is strong from the word go and he has a specific goal. He's also learned many skills before the beginning of the novel, so don't expect a murderhobo for levels. That being said, the mc will grow stronger and will have become so strong (not overpowered) by the end of the first book. There are many races besides humans but they are not the main focus of the story, so they will only appear when the plot involves them. This novel is dedicated to the late William Wilberforce. *** I made the cover picture from picart. Original images don't belong to me. If you are the owner and you want it removed just pm me.

Shakespeare's 154 Sonnets (Completed )
Shakespeare's Sonnets is the title of a collection of 154 sonnets by William Shakespeare, which covers themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man; the last 28 to a woman.The sonnets are almost all constructed from three quatrains, which are four-line stanzas, and a final couplet composed in iambic pentameter. This is also the meter used extensively in Shakespeare's plays. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Sonnets using this scheme are known as Shakespearean sonnets. Often, the beginning of the third quatrain marks the volta ("turn"), or the line in which the mood of the poem shifts, and the poet expresses a revelation or epiphany.
