《Sona, A Goddess Queen in a Modern World.》04 - The Scientist
Advertisement
Sona and Madison were eating toast in the kitchen while just enjoying each other's presence. Suddenly Sona felt her mother's gaze in her arms and followed her gaze to see what it was all about. When Sona was playing etwahl, she hadn't noticed, but her white, delicate wrists were slightly cut. Sona looked curiously at it, since she didn't imagine any animal that could cause that kind of injury.
As she stared, her memories activated and she realized that who had caused this kind of cut was Angela, Sona couldn't understand the reason, but as she explored more and more the memories she had acquired, she discovered that as a way to overflow the sadness that she felt, she had made these cuts on her own wrists.
Sona felt her mother's sadness and pulled the sleeves of her shirt higher up to try to hide, feeling ashamed. Madison saw it and said nothing, she felt bad for seeing her daughter in that state, but she didn't want to cause an argument now and ruin the moment they were having.
When they both finished eating, Sona offered to do the dishes. "Mom, go sit on the couch, I'll take care of it."
"No daughter, you can let me clean myself." Madison said quickly.
"I won't take no for an answer." Sona said as he was walking in front of the sink and was beginning to wash the dishes with a calmness that surprised Madison again.
Madison thought as she felt her chest warm because of the concern her daughter was showing her.
While the two of them were sitting on the couch, Sona was watching all the objects in the house to try to understand how this world worked. Unlike a certain God King who did not think about going beyond battle, she had lived a little in contact with civilization. It wasn't much, but it did help her learn a little common sense.

Wandering through newly acquired memories, Sona found a very practical device. The device was called "Cellular", in which she could conveniently learn everything she wanted to know about the world. Remembering that the device was in her room, Sona calmly stood up to pick it up in her room, when she returned, she sat down next to Madison while putting a headset in her ear opposite her mother's side.
Sona used the Internet to find the thing she liked best in life, music. First she started looking at what the songs were like on this planet, once she visited a planet that people hated music, but since her mother gave her a musical instrument, that probably wouldn't be the case here.
Apparently they really like love songs here... just like in my old world. I hope I can learn about love here... Sona thought while reading about the music.
She found the songs that these mortals call symphony very pleasant. Many were extremely well produced with several musicians playing together. The only people that Sona touched together were her disciples, but most of them could not achieve divinity, as cultivation through music was several times more difficult than cultivation through battle, as it depended not only on strength, but on creativity most of the time.
Sona was reading about some songs and remembered the song she had promised to sing to her mother. Remembering this, Sona got up and ran to the room to try a song she found.
Madison was a little sad to see her leaving, but just to see the advance that she and her daughter had today has left her very happy.
Sona arrived in the room and called etwahl telepathically. The instrument promptly floated towards her. "Thank you, my old friend. Sona said as he stroked the instrument that made a happy sound through the strings.

She had found a very beautiful song on the internet and thought it might be the perfect song to sing for her mother. But first she'd have to learn those Earth scores. Since each planet used a different style of score, Sona was used to it, and with the intelligence of a Goddess, Sona quickly understood how these scores worked.
Applying them to etwahl, she was able to play the melody of the music as if she had practiced for years. Satisfied with the result, Sona has now started practicing singing, something she had never practiced before in her life.
...
Madison was sitting on the couch watching TV happy for what the day was like, until she heard Angela calling her in her room. "Moom!"
The scream was calm and harmonious, making Madison relax even more when she listened, without worrying that something bad might have happened to her daughter. When she arrived in Angela's room, she saw the beautiful girl with short blue hair sitting on the bed with the instrument she had given her looking at her with a smile. Seeing that smile, Madison smiled back and asked. "What is it, child?"
"Do you remember the song I promised you I'd sing for you? Sit down, I hope you like it." Sona said with a quiet, confident smile.
Madison hearing this, quickly took the cell phone and turned on the camera to record her daughter, she wanted to keep this moment forever.
When Sona realized that it was being recorded, she didn't mind and waited for her mother to adjust.
When Madison focused all her attention on her daughter, she heard one of the most beautiful things she ever heard in her life.
The fingering of her daughter's fingers on the strings of that instrument... seemed magical... something only gods could do.
"# Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart..."
When Madison heard the lyrics, she started crying again.

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.
