—Do you know how to use this information, Adam?—the bear asked, looking the boy in the eye.
Adam thought about the question, but he didn't understand that he was looking to achieve the bear, so he simply shook his head.
Also, the boy knew that the bear could be lying. Now Adam's plan was to get to safe territory and ask his godfather and the old man with no eyes. That way to see if it was true (or not) the information that this magical book would kill him.
—Now that you know there are insecure books, you could see if the rest of the books you got are safe or not—the bear answered calmly—do you have any idea how to achieve it?
—No. The old man without eyes doesn't tell me the content of the books—Adam replied, he didn't want to follow the same fate as his teacher.
—You have two copies of each book: one infinite from the cave and the other original—the bear answered his own question—don't think about it too much now. But when you grow up and decide to stop being a hero, the idea will arise on your own.
Adam didn't answer, he didn't understand what the bear meant, and before he could ask anything the bear interrupted him.
—Even though the old man without eyes won't tell you the contents of the book… —answered the bear while drinking alcohol for a long time—If he values you more than a toy maker, he will tell you that it is a cursed book and not a magical one. But he's not going to do it: he's going to try to kill you. That is the final use of any information: to remind you of your place in the world.
—You could also lie to me and that the effects are not those—Adam answered, reflecting on why the bear wanted to put him against the old man without eyes.

—You're right—answered the bear—you just have to ask your godfather, and you will know the truth.
—But my godfather is a liar—Adam answered with even more doubt.
Long ago the boy had realized that: his godfather was a horrible person, and today he only confirmed his suspicions. What kind of inhuman monster would send a 15-year-old boy to skin a person just for booklets. Most likely, the bomb was a lie too.
—I don't doubt it—answered the bear immediately—Then discover your own truth: find out about the toy makers.
—And how do I do that?—Adam asked if he couldn't trust the old man or his godfather.
—No idea—answered the bear with his hoarse voice—Discover a way to learn it. There is still a long way to go before you get the black robe, you couldn't even understand the cursed book.
Adam opened the book to look at the language and indeed it was in an unknown language, Adam couldn't understand anything. The language didn't resemble that of the black book, it was more similar to that of the middle floors, so Adam thought it's probably the language of these lower floors.
—Don't worry so much and go back to the cave. You already secured the booklets— Commented the bear watching the boy open the book— For the rest: Goodbye, Adam, we will probably never see each other again.
Saying that, the bear swam away on the ground. Adam guessed that the bear would look for the mushrooms when the sheep finished going through the contents of the suitcase.
The boy looked around and remembered that he was on a floor full of lunatics, running with what was left of his strength he went to the stairs, to then slowly ascend and reach the cave.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.
