《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》089-The big secret.
Advertisement
Adam explained about the subject with pleasure, he also hoped to know something more about how the shelves worked, that was information that no book says. After listening carefully to the information.
The eyeless old man smiled because the boy was talking about something that mattered to him for free, and said:
—A draw, use, work, secret, karma, and gratitude. I don't think it's enough, there has to be a trick you don't understand, Adam.
Adam was able to understand where the secret of these bookshelves lay, the more complicated a bookcase made it the better the reward offered could be. He had gotten some clues about this valuable information the day he got the mask. But the old man with no eyes had just told him directly, 5 fundamental factors to consider when dealing with a bookcase.
—I can think of one more trick—Adam replied cunningly, opening his eyes again and looking at the eyeless old man.
—Which one?—asked the old man, his eyes racing.
—Is the book I got today magical or cursed?—Adam asked with a smile and closing his eyes again. —That's a good deal. I'm more than sure I wasn't wrong. Remember that I am a student at that school and the one who bought Cesar the pass to infinity. Who else besides me would understand the Baron's secret?
The eyeless old man looked at him for a few minutes. But deep down, he knew that this information was worth half the books on his shelves to him.
They were neither more nor less than the conditions to get someone to achieve such madness, how to move up with a pass. If he could manage to replicate the same thing, he would be a divine entity for these librarians.
Possibly, that was the real goal of the baron in the long term and his riskiest bet, transmitting the information was complicated with secrecy, but in a few hundred millennia the myths of the possibility of ascending using the schools of the baron would begin to appear.

To understand this for the old man without eyes: it was to understand the baron, to understand the baron: it was a possibility to obtain a very high status in this library and for the old man without eyes this is opening his mind: it was possible to transform into a bookshelf that defies infinity and into a god for librarians.
The baron had achieved it, but millennia were missing, for the myths to run through the aisles of these shelves. Even more so now could prevent him from achieving it and try to replicate his method.
The eyeless old man just looked at him for a long time. He wanted the boy to think that he was scamming him and not the other way around. Finally, in a somewhat harsh voice, the eyeless old man answered Adam's question:
—It's magical but not very useful.
—Little is better than nothing—Adam replied with great joy, it seemed that talking so much with his godfather had been worth something, and today he had obtained very expensive information —A possible condition is languages. The more languages learned, the better rewards, the school only teaches languages and all the teachers learn languages like crazy.

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
