《Sad Water Sailors (Horror-adventure)》Comportamientos Anormales

"For the rest, boy, I asked you to come because I have a question to ask you..." The captain commented.
Ricardo, seeing that the captain finally allowed him to be part of the conversation, asked happily: "Of course, captain! What do you need to know?"
"As I had told you when you entered the cabin: stress levels are increasing due to the accumulated fatigue of the trip, so I would like to know if you noticed any type of abnormal behavior in the crew these days"
"Not that I remember, captain..." Ricardo affirmed, somewhat happy that the captain had enough confidence in him to ask him these kinds of questions.
Wiliam, seeing that the boy didn't know anything, was relieved. It would be bad enough, if the lower level of this ship had noticed the abnormal situation of these two weeks.
"... But..." Ricardo said, to the captain's annoyance.
"The boys in the cabins are a little worried about the sick. We haven't seen the boys for a week and many fear that they are worse than Ron tells us"
"It's okay, it's normal for them to feel worried about their companions" The captain commented cautiously, he didn't want to leak what the real problem was, it was almost time to reach port, and it's not worth creating unnecessarily panic.
But... As captain, it was also his responsibility to try to find information and if he had brought up the subject with a cabin boy, it was because he was really lost with this series of incidents... Or he was looking for something else.
"What I meant, is if you noticed someone acting out of the ordinary, as if they were in some kind of trance..." The captain explained in detail slowly.
Ricardo stayed silent thinking, trying to be as useful as possible with the captain, ultimately, the person in front of him would define whether the next trip was still a cabin boy or not.

Noticing Ricardo's silence, Wiliam continued explaining the known symptoms at the moment, so the cabin boy will be able to find a possible suspect.
"For example, what I'm interested in knowing, is if any of the sailors you met on this trip no longer seem to be the same person you met at the beginning, as if something inside that person had changed..." Wiliam asked, looking at the eyes of the young boy with seriousness.
"I think I know someone who fulfills that…" Ricardo said, very hesitant to speak or not speak.
Noticing the cabin boy's long pause, Wiliam insisted: "Who? ... The subject is important, Ricardo, if you help me with this matter, I promise that I will help you in the future when we touch port"
Ricardo understood the hint of the captain, a name for a position, without a doubt it would be tempting for most people, but Ricardo was not one of those who easily betrayed his friends, but...
'A Montes can't keep cleaning up the vomit of a bunch of drunks' The thought flew through Ricardo's head.
And without hesitation, he said the name that best fit the definition of the captain:

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow.

A Tale From Azaad
Desperate and wandering, a young lord stumbles upon unknown knowledge that can help to overturn his peoples’ destiny. But can he rise to bring the prosperity his people need, or fall before it can ever take shape? AN: I hate writing synopses, so I'd recommend reading a few chapters before making a decision. Also, it's tagged as an isekai but those tropes don't appear. Warnings: I mention them, but there are a few chapters that are really gruesome. Furthermore, the innovations and advancements don't come into play until a lot later, though the framework for it all is built up early. Inspirations: South Asian history, Tales of a Reincarnated Lord and some of the histroical and kingdom-building stories on RR are inspirations for this work. If you enjoy politics, clever strategies, nation-building and technological advancement, then this story might interest you. Schedule: New chapter every Saturday at 3PM PST.
