《Los Caracteres Perdidos [Fantasía oscura] - Español / Spanish - (Completo)》E1-89-El gran secreto.
Advertisement
Adam explicó sobre el tema con gusto, también esperaba conocer algo más sobre cómo funcionaban las estanterías: esa era una información que ningún libro dice. Luego de escuchar atentamente la información.
El viejo sin ojos sonrió porque el chico estaba hablando de algo que al le importaba de forma gratuita y dijo:
—Un sorteo, uso, trabajo, secreto, karma y gratitud. No me parece suficiente, tiene que haber algún truco que no entiendas, muchacho.
Adam pudo entender donde estaba el secreto de estas estanterías: cuanto más complicado lo hacía una estantería mejor podía ser la recompensa ofrecida. Había obtenido algunas pistas acerca de esta valiosa información el día que obtuvo la máscara. Pero el viejo sin ojos le acababa de decir directamente 5 factores fundamentales a considerar cuando uno trata con una estantería.
—Se me ocurre un truco más…—Respondió Adam con astucia, volviendo a abrir los ojos y mirando al viejo sin ojos.
—¡¿Cuál?!—preguntó el viejo con velocidad e impaciencia.
—¿El libro que obtuve hoy es mágico o maldito?—preguntó Adam con una sonrisa y cerrando los ojos de nuevo para relajarse en el agua del lago—Es un buen trato… Estoy más que seguro que no me equivocó… Recuerda que soy un estudiante de esa escuela y el que le compró el pase al infinito a César: ¿Quién más además de mí entendería el secreto del barón?
El viejo sin ojos miró a Adam por unos minutos, pero en el fondo sabía que esta información valía la mitad de los libros de sus estanterías para él: era ni más ni menos que las condiciones para lograr que alguien lograra semejante locura, cómo ascender con un pase. Si él pudiera lograr replicar lo mismo sería una entidad divina para estos bibliotecarios.
Posiblemente, esa era la meta real del barón a largo plazo y su apuesta más arriesgada, transmitir la información se complicaba con el secreto, pero en unos cuantos milenios, ya empezarían a aparecer los mitos de la posibilidad de ascender usando las escuelas del barón.

Entender esto para el viejo sin ojos: era entender al barón y entender al barón: era una posibilidad de obtener un estatus altísimo en esta biblioteca y para el viejo sin ojos esto está información estaba abriéndole la mente: era posible transformarse en una estantería que desafiara al infinito y en un dios para los bibliotecarios.
El barón lo había logrado, pero faltaba milenios, para que los mitos corran por los pasillos de estas estanterías. Más aún, el viejo sin ojos ahora podría impedir que lo logre y tratar de replicar su método. Además, los planes secretos del viejo sin ojos también eran muy ambiciosos: no por nada se dedicaba a criar héroes y tener a una estantería divina tan cerca podría arruinar los planes de muchas estanterías, incluyendo sus propios planes.
El viejo sin ojos se quedó reflexionando por un buen rato. Quería que el chico pensará que él lo estaba estafando y no al revés. Finalmente, con voz algo durativa, el viejo sin ojos respondió la pregunta de Adam de mala gana:
—Es un libro mágico, pero poco útil…
—Poco es mejor que nada…—Respondió Adam con mucha alegría; parecía que hablar tanto con su padrino le había enseñado algo útil y hoy había obtenido información muy costosa —Una posible condición son los idiomas. A más idiomas aprendidos, mejores recompensas, la escuela únicamente enseña idiomas y todos los profesores aprenden idiomas como locos.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.

Cornerstone (rough draft)
When a call goes out into the universe,a young man, down on his luck, decides to answer. Ripped from his old life and even his body, Jack Hearth must now decide what needs to be done to protect those he has claimed as his own. Not all is as it seems though. Those in power do not approve of his quest and will seek to bring ruin to his efforts. This is my very first work, so I ask for understanding should I make a mistake. This story is not on of those stories where the MC gains power and immediately decides to use it for violence. While those types of stories are fun, this isn't one of those. I will average betweern 1k-2k words per chapter for the foreseeable future. Please leave a comment below to let me know how I am doing. Lore chapters have been removed Chapter release schedule -friday evening -sunday evening For the copies of my new draft check out my patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=46645070
