《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》043

Adam happily nodded and prepared to speak to his godfather. With pencil in hand, he explained the situation. Luckily for the boy with 40 pages read, he could already have a normal conversation with his godfather.
'I'm not a bookshelf, I don't know any' His godfather answered, 'But don't trust the old man without eyes. The bookshelves love those booklets more than the librarians. Little books don't die of old age, we can't stand more than a blink of an eye for the shelves'
Adam read carefully, after so much time he knew that his godfather distrusted even the shadows, so his attitude did not seem strange to him. He took the pencil in his hand and asked, 'But is there no way to see one?'
'Yes, there is' His godfather replied, 'Go and wait on the stairs until you see him calling you. Don't get impatient, the war will last much longer than your life. They will participate only in the initial stage, and this is the best stage. Remember: our target is the bookshelves that have waited 50,000 years for this moment on that floor. They are patient and will notice that you are more helpful than any other librarian'
Adam took a long time to read the long paragraph, and his sponsor wrote several paragraphs with similar words to try to communicate the message as clearly as possible. After a while, Adam understood most of it and asked:
'Why am I more useful?'
'For the Baron' His godfather replied 'The Baron, he broke his rules by hurting a child, and you are that child, which is why you are now untouchable by the librarians, that helps more than you think. Follow the plans, and we'll come out with books that will change your destiny, Adam'

Adam tried to understand the words, but unfortunately he could only understand a part of the message, enough to know that he would be safe or that he understood. Unfortunately, it seemed that his godfather didn't want to talk about the booklets anymore and every time he asked something, only the same message appeared: 'Wait on the stairs. Ask me on the stairs. Study the stairs.'
Adam got tired of asking his godfather and decided to start studying, it was getting more and more complicated and this time according to Professor Aquiles he should reach 60 pages to notice the change in the book, while his classmates would achieve it in 50 pages.
For which Adam had to study 20 more pages and his classmates 10. But according to the teacher, the difficulty was the same.
While Adam was studying. The eyeless old man thought carefully about Adam's godfather's words, but he didn't seem to be bothered by his mistrust. They were both looking for the same thing: magical books. And while that was happening he didn't have to bother him, his plan wasn't that bad from his perspective.
Although he might not get anything if no bookshelf dared to trust Adam. But wars were long for librarians and the boy would probably die before he saw the end of it, so opportunities would not be lacking.

Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.

Labyrinthia's Maze
I had always found the idea of “Other Worlds” stupid. Magic wasn’t real. Even if it was the chance of someone spiriting away someone form a world without magic to a world with seemed utterly stupid.

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4
