ALL NOVEL 61 – Mystic Melody
[Do you want to make an App where believers can listen to music?]
Jaina asked me in a message on [Carrier Pigeon].
From her less formal tone, it seems that she was surprised by the idea of the app.
[Exactly, I imagined that making music available for mortals to listen to at any time would be a great way to improve people's quality of life, as well as encourage them to use the Internet longer and give me more divine power with it]. I honestly explained in a message back to her.
But while I was typing, I realized another big change I could make on the Internet.
Now that I could control sound waves, couldn't I develop a form of audio invocation?
So, ignoring Jaina's message for a few minutes, I quickly developed a small test version and called her.
Looking at her through my divine vision over the Internet, I could see Jaina's surprise when she noticed the message appearing on her screen.
[The God of the Internet is calling you, do you wish to accept the voice call?]
[Yes] [No]
The buttons had green and red icons representing the user's choice.
Confused, Jaina clicked [Yes] to see what it was, allowing me to speak freely to her without having to type.
"Hi Jaina." I said smiling.
When Jaina heard my voice coming from the Internet book, she was shocked and looked around in confusion.
"How are you talking to me?" She asked.
"Through the Internet, I've partnered with the Goddess of Waves, and with my knowledge and her divinity, I've developed this function. Right now, it's not available to the rest of the public, but in the future, all users will be able to use the Internet to voice chat with whomever they want, whenever they want." I smiled as I explained it to her.
Upon hearing this, Jaina was shocked.
Since I was the only one who could see her, it was like I was on a video call while she was on a voice call, but without her knowing.
"Right..." She said as she sighed, apparently giving up trying to understand me.
"So about my idea for an app so that mortals can listen to music, I developed this new app last night, it's already finished, I just need songs to fill it." I said as I gave her access to the app. "You can check the app on your internet, there's already a song I recorded as an example."
Hearing this, Jaina curiously minimized [Carrier Pigeon] and saw that there was a new app in her book.
The icon of the app was a beautiful golden harp with a magic circle around it showing golden musical notes floating around, with a blue background like a clear, cloudless sky.
Below the icon was the name of the application, [Mystic Melody].
Nodding her head, Jaina agreed with the icon and name of the application as she clicked on the application to see a white and gold interface.
In my previous world, people would have hated it, since the light theme was hated by 90% of Internet users, but in this world, I noticed that people liked to use the Internet's light screen as a method of lighting up at night, which made this app useful for that.
Could I make a flashlight app in the future to solve this problem for good? Yes, but for the app to be called a flashlight, the screen brightness would have to be much higher, which would potentially reduce my profit even more now, so I was waiting for my rank to rise to do that.
When I became an Elemental God, my efficiency in using Divine Power would increase so much that I could develop more expensive apps on the Internet, and I wouldn't have to worry about making a profit.
But for now, people would still have to make do with lighting themselves at night.
Sure, it's not like they were complaining.
They were already very grateful for the way things were, I was just annoyed that there wasn't a flashlight app because I knew how useful such an app was in my previous world.
While I was thinking about this, Jaina listened to "Ave Maria" on the app and nodded in satisfaction.
Since this was one of the few classical songs from my previous world that I remembered very well and that would fit well in this world, I chose this song as an example.
From Jaina's expression, I knew I had made the right choice, because when the song ended, she stared into space for a few minutes before turning back to the [Carrier Pigeon] application and talking to me.
"I just listened to your song... what a beautiful melody... it really lives up to the name [Mystic Melody]." Jaina said reverently. "Is this music from the Divine World by any chance?"
Smiling, I shook my head as I replied, even though she couldn't see it. "No, this is 100% music from the mortal world."
Hearing this, Jaina was even more surprised.
"That's amazing... even though I don't know any such amazing songs, one of the teachers at the Arcantor Magic School is trying to develop a branch of magic called 'Musical Magic', I think she would be very interested in the new app... how about I introduce her to Athenos?" Jaina suggested with a smile.
Hearing that made me curious. A mortal was developing magic based on music? That sounded very interesting.
Since I would have to discuss it with her, it would be best to do it in person, so I thought about it for a moment and answered Jaina.
"Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes." I said.
"Okay, I'll invite you to my office." Jaina said, making me nod and hang up the phone.
Soon after, I descended into the mortal world through the marble body that was on standby in a room in the church.
When I came out of the room, I was surprised to see at least a hundred people sitting in the pews listening to Father Robert preach about the God of the Internet!
As soon as these people saw me, they quickly stood up and bowed in respect, leaving me surprised and smiling at them as I raised my hand.
"Thank you for coming to pray to the God of the Internet, may your day be better." I said in a calm voice as I used 1,000 Divine Power points to bless these 100 people, giving each of them small blessings of 10 Divine Power points.
These blessings were very weak compared to the blessing I gave to Robert, but these blessings would slightly help with the health and energy these people would have for the next 24 hours.
Seeing the blue light fly from my hand to their bodies, and perhaps feeling the change they had experienced, the people became even more excited and all bowed to me.
"Don't focus on me people, focus on Father Robert and have a great day." I said as I said goodbye and walked towards Arcantor Magic School.
Unfortunately, my walk was much less smooth than I had imagined.
Since the Internet had become popular with practically everyone in Arcantor, the description of Athenos, the emissary of the God of the Internet, had already become popular with the people, especially my haircut, which was different from the people of that time, made me easily stand out from the crowd in the capital.
"Lord Athenos, please bless my son!" A woman said as she held out a delicate baby to me.
As I looked at the child, on a whim I gave him a blessing, but this blessing was different.
This was a blessing from the God of Creativity, increasing the creativity that this child would have in the future.
Seeing this, more and more people asked for blessings or good words from me, delaying my trip to Arcantor Magic School by 40 minutes and costing me 5,000 Divine Power Points.
Of course, I could have done it without spending anything, but the 5,000 Divine Power Points I spent compared to how much people talked about Athenos and the gratitude they felt towards him and the God of the Internet was worth much more than those 5,000 points.
When I arrived at Arcantor Magic School, this time the guards recognized me at first glance and were extremely polite to me.
I just smiled at them, gave them a basic blessing of 10 Divine Power Points of Creativity, and made my way to Jaina's office to meet with the music-focused magician.
I was curious to know how this woman focused on developing music-related spells.
In my previous world, there were several characters who did such things, which gave me hope and curiosity as to how she would do it.
What I didn't know was that the path I had taken to the Arcantor Magic School by blessing people was earning me more goodwill from the populace than I had imagined.
People who had been blessed or who had seen me bless others posted about it on the Internet, and others even wanted to see who had been blessed to try to get some of the blessing for themselves.
When the testimonies of people from the church went online, this trend became even stronger, and Lord Athenos became one of the most talked about topics in Arcantor on [Carrier Pigeon], and even became popular in the other three kingdoms that had access to the Internet!
So much so that when I arrived at Jaina's office, I was surprised to see Jaina staring at me wordlessly with a wry smile on her face, her Internet book showing the [Carrier Pigeon] icon.
Next to Jaina, a young girl with long blue hair and a water iMonster around her neck was staring at me with sparkling eyes.
What was surprising to me was that the appearance of this blue-haired girl reminded me of a music-oriented character from my previous world...!
