—And what is my fight?—Franco asked the question Achilles whispered to him.
—Put the flower they gave that woman on my shelves,—the pretty girl said, looking at Bianca with jealousy.
Franco saw Bianca with the flower in her hair, and Bianca saw how Franco's curious eyes sparkled, knowing what she had hidden in the book on the shelf. Achilles didn't want them to fight in the middle of the main hex, so he ended up helping Franco and convinced Bianca by remembering that this was some kind of class and everyone had to collaborate.
Franco, with a victorious smile, handed the flower to the shelf and took the book from him. But the book was nothing special.
—Bad luck— Achilles said looking at the child's disappointed face —Next time remember to ask what happens if you fail, in this case we already knew, but don't be so impatient
Achilles saw that the two other two scored and went on to say:
—It's your turn Adam, he doesn't use the same bookshelf as Franco.
Adam nodded, went to the third dustless shelf and asked the rules:
Another pretty girl came out, but this one she had short hair and polka dots with stars on her face, she looked at Adam and said:
—Same rules as the other girl. What decision do you make?
Adam was going to continue. But Achilles I know matter; since Adam was a boy from the special class, so he decided to interrupt him from behind saying:
—No, no, no... It would be very easy... very easy, let's try the handsome boy test.
“Coward!” She yelled at the bookshelf before Adam could get close.
—Well, let's try the one with dust— Achilles said, trying not to tempt fate by trying the women—But remember what you were learning and ask everything.

Cautiously, Adam approached the dusty bookcase and asked her the rules.
An old man's head came out from the shelf: unlike the other three, the old man was not very handsome and did not have any decoration on his face, he looked carefully at Adam and with a somewhat tired voice said:
—Tell me who I am, and I'll let you read; answer wrong, and you will clear the other three libraries.
—He preempted the other question—Achilles said wryly; it seemed that he already remembered this old man's response—Think about it, Adam, the shelves always give clues.
— Is there a clue? Adam asked literally.
—I already gave you the clue, try to remember my rules—The old man answered very patiently
Adam thought and thought, but he couldn't come up with an answer, so he asked:
—And for the good guys? Are there bonus tracks?
—...— the old man thought for a while, until he finally said—Look at the outfit
Adam noticed that the old man had no accessories, the other three seemed to have them; if he considered star polka dots as accessories.
—You're his servant!—Lucas answered decisively.
—No— answered the head, disappearing again.
—The correct answer was that she was his father—Achilles said from behind, taking out some rags that he had brought for the occasion—Help Adam clean the four shelves. Tomorrow they can take the day off, meditating because he was the father and not the servant.
The three boys nodded and began cleaning the shelves.
Achilles ended up being the one who cleaned the shelves. While the boys played throwing water at each other; that was the good thing about being young and not understanding the emotional story told by these 4 bookstores.
Only now that he was back as an adult, Achilles was able to understand the story. Unfortunately, the story left a great doubt in his heart, especially as a teacher of so few students; remembering that when he studied there were more in the class.
That story was probably the most valuable secret of these shelves, because when he finished cleaning and the boys went home, Achilles decided to wait a while longer and saw how the last shelf was filled with dust again.

The Treasure King
Gray always knew he was special. He was blessed with a pair of heavenly eyes that saw the world like nobody else. He had dominating strength, honed by the savage wilderness of the King's Mountains. He was meant to achieve great things, to surpass his upbringing as an impoverished miner. His belief was confirmed one day when a beautiful fairy sister fell from the sky into his lap. She didn't stay long but she left an unforgettable impression. So, he set out into the endless world of cultivation to see her again and win her heart. He would encounter, along the way, countless treasures including ancient weapons, heavenly gems, rare metals, and sacred medicinal pills. He would meet all kinds of people and develop unbreakable bonds. He would struggle against enemies that challenged him to the physical and spiritual limit. He would even be dragged into an existential war for the human race against their eternal enemy. And perhaps, he would also find the time to establish his own dominion as the one and only Treasure King! Book 1 - Lord of the Jade Plains The Jade Plains, filled with great herds of bison and ferocious packs of wolves, was a dangerous frontier region where two towns fought for supremacy. These two towns, and two families that controlled each, were old foes destined to clash after a long period of fragile peace. The one that emerged victorious would become the undisputed lord, the owner of all the wealth that lied beneath these windswept hills and endless waves of grass. But nobody was prepared for the arrival of an exceptional young man from the mountains taking the first stumbling steps on a path to greatness. Author's Note: This novel has gone through major edits.

8 240In the End the Truth Remains
We all have our own philosophies that we subscribe to. We either create them ourselves, or we stumble across ones that resonate with us. Some may be evil, some may be good, some may be neutral, some may be incoherent, and some may be inconsistent. With this in mind, to what extent will we defend our beliefs? At the cost of our lives? Or at the cost of others? Beliefs are one of the most powerful and destructive things in the world. It drives us to act, pushes us to continue, and can lead to fulfillment. At first these things were only concepts that gave humanity meaning, but now they have become so much more…
