《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》102

Then the three boys took the first step. Touching the mirror, Adam felt as if something was sucking him, and his body disappeared into the air next to the old man on his shoulders.
* Ha ha ha * The old man's laugh behind his back was the first thing Adam heard after leaving the other world. The wooden corridors and the colorful light of the oil lamps were what finally got Adam and the children out of their daze, it didn't feel the same as going through a painting, going through this mirror left you a little dazed.
—You saved my life, hero—Said the old man on his back between laughs —As a reward, let me show you a good trick; put me on the floor near the mirror.
Adam turned around and left the old man next to the mirror. The mirror on this side was different from the one on the reverse world: it was made of silver and had the decoration of little devils with tridents and the engraved inscription in the language of the middle floor said: 'Look at your luck, look at your conviction, look at your death, but don't look too much, or you'll get lost'
The old man reached out and reached into the mirror, dipping it into its surface, then withdrew it and pulled out a green book. He put the green book down and reached back into the mirror.
The green book sank to the wooden floor like water until it disappeared from Adam's sight. Then the old man took the green book out of the mirror again and said with a smile:
—If you ever lose a book linked to your soul, you can find it this way. For example: the biography of your godfather. If the biography is destroyed, you can draw it again too, but wrap your hand in magical character sheets to do so.

—That seems like good advice, thanks—Adam said with a rather happy smile, it seems that being good really had the benefits of it —Where do I take you to be cured?
—To the guards on the stairs—Said the old man looking at his legs, the bleeding had stopped because of the tourniquet he had made, but he wouldn't last long if they didn't heal—Upstairs is the infirmary, so I'll be fine, just help me get there to the guards on the stairs, hero.
—Perfect, we're also going upstairs—Adam said, taking the old man again. To his surprise, the old man had left his godfather on the ground, so he asked:
—Aren't you worried about someone else using your godfather?
—You revived with few memories, hero. Nobody can use a book linked to your soul—answered the old man with black robe with a smile—But I don't blame you either, good resurrection methods are difficult to achieve. In my first resurrection I had forgotten almost everything too.
—Did you revive?—Adam asked as he moved toward hex 3 to reach the guards.
—A few times, I never give up—Said the old man with a bitter smile—In the long run, most librarians die because time kills you with unhappiness. But I never give up, one day I'm going to get what I'm looking for.
—What you're looking for must be quite important...—Adam replied with a bitter smile—To have suffered so many times in this world. I don't know if I could stand one more resurrection.
—No, it's just a useless book—answered the old man with a bitter smile—It's a green book and its cover has the inscription: 'Abel', I've been looking for it for a long, long time, but I keep failing.
—It must be very frustrating—Hermes commented with some sorrow—having lived so many lives and not having achieved it.
—On the contrary— the old man replied between laughs with irony—The fun is the process of looking for it, I will probably throw it to infinity when I find it.
Finally, the 4 reached the stairs, luckily they were quite close. Knowing that the questions would come, Adam took off his glasses. Over time, the young man discovered that his hero identity used to solve a lot of problems and more with the guards.

8 106The Pack
'When you’re in hell, only demons can save you...' For a thousand suns humanity has lived on this world, a world of advanced knowledge and medieval ways, a world whose history has been lost in a fog of tales and fragments of ancient learning. Upon this planet a young man is betrayed and sold by those he called family. Lost and alone, he discovers a weapon more powerful than anything he could imagine. Now, holding the power to level entire cities, he may be the last hope for a humanity on the edge of extinction. But the howl of the pack has changed, and what was once a sound of comfort and protection brings only terror as it echoes across the mountains. When high technology meets low society, when the natural clashes with the artificial, when the very world itself seems bent on eradicating humankind, those caught in the middle must choose, though every choice brings with it its own loss. A choice between humanity, and the pack. (Download as an eBook - choose your own price - at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1150699)
