《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》007-A good day of adventures...

Adam entered the spiral stairs, heading to the 5th floor of the lower level.
Unlike the marble stairs, these stairs were made of rotten wood. The sides of the stairs resembled those of a cave. The stairwell was not lit by oil lamps; but on the walls of the cave, there were blue mushrooms that shone, dimly illuminating the steps with a bluish light. The scene was quite beautiful but somewhat dangerous.
Adam carefully climbed down very slowly. But his heart was racing a bit; today had been his first day of school, and he had managed to go up to the middle floor without anyone noticing that he didn't belong to those floors.
Adam lived on the 'lower' floors with his father. Adam's father came up with a plan to get his son an education so he could offer him a better future. Since education was impossible to obtain for the inhabitants of the lower levels.
This ladder had been discovered by Adam's father in the days of his youth. Unfortunately, when his father discovered her, he was already too old to be a student; so he was never able to get the black robe. Adam's father knew it well: it was not a simple robe; it was the right to know how to read; it was the right to be able to live well in this world.
Adam finally made it down all the wooden steps. The bottom of the stairwell was a cave lit with hundreds of mushrooms. In the cave, there was a small lake and a path of stones.
Adam carefully jumped over the stone path, until he reached the other end where the cave wall met. Reaching the wall, Adam placed his hand on it and said:
— A good day of adventures. But it's time for the hero to go home.

The stones of the cave began to shake, and little by little it showed on the wall: the drawing of a door that seemed to be made with chalk. Adam pushed the drawing and the door did not move, it seemed that someone was outside.
Adam waited a while in the cave and tried again, this time the door moved and showed the corridors of the 3rd hex on the 5th floor below.
The hallways felt much more elegant than the hallways on the previous floor; its floors and ceilings were of finely carved marble with flower patterns. Its shelves were made of gold and silver. And the oil lamps were statues of angels.
However, Adam knew that all this beauty was worth nothing in this world, the only thing that had real value was knowledge and most of the books on this floor were full of useless doodles.
Adam walked briskly, if not running, through the halls; they weren't safe and he had to get home fast. Just now, Adam noticed that he forgot to bring another set of robes; the ones he was wearing were very new and might draw the attention of dangerous people.
Along the way he came across many people, luckily they knew him or had no intention of robbing a defenseless boy; so he was able to quickly reach hex 10 of lower floor 5.

8 151The Strongest Species
Humanity won. In the war against the supreme dragons, humanity wrested victory from the literal jaws of the dragons. The strongest species lost their title and was cast down in history as ancient creatures, devoid of any civilization. Their cities, culture, and civilization were completely wiped out, with only the oldest of mages and greatest of anarchs remembering them. Humanity took the achievements of this immortal race and claimed it as their own. Humanity flourished. Now, a thousand years after the war, humanity has forgotten this primordial race. Unbeknownst to even the greatest of humanity's saints, the dragons did not lose to humanity just because of humanity. They had their own hand in their own defeat. But just like they were a cause in their own destruction, they will cause their rebirth without the help of any creature. The dragons will rise again. It's time to reclaim the title of the strongest species.

A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.
