《Golden Valley [Español] [Terror/Misterio]》08-La casa en el campo
Advertisement
Abel miró desde la distancia la casa donde pasaría la noche, la casa era de madera y no era muy grande: tenía el tamaño del cobertizo que se encontraba en su patio, por lo que a lo mucho tendría tres habitaciones.
La casa estaba ubicada en el medio de una arboleda en el campo y varios animales rurales habían aprovechado la arboleda para establecer su hogar. En los arbustos cercanos a la casa había gallinas y gansos que habían escondido sus nidos entre los arbustos, también podían observarse varias vacas y terneros descansando del sol, aprovechando la sombra brindada por los árboles.
Cuando Abel llegó a la casa, notó que una gallina andaba con sus pollitos por la puerta de madera. Por lo que con bastante esfuerzo y recibiendo varios intentos de ataque de la gallina, Abel logró correr a la gallina de la puerta.
La mayoría de las ventanas de la casa estaban rotas y sus orificios fueron tapados con parches de tela o tablones de madera. Al entrar a la casa, Abel pudo ver que los muebles estaban llenos de polvo y el techo estaba lleno de telas de araña.
Realmente no era un sitio muy acogedor, pero la atmósfera de la casa destrozada le recordaba al viudo a las casas donde durmió en su luna de miel, por lo que el lugar tenía cierto encanto en la mente de Abel.
La fortuna de estar vistiendo un traje de motociclista es que prácticamente toda la piel de Abel estaba cubierta con ropa, en consecuencia Abel no estaba muy preocupado por ser picado por alguna araña mientras limpiaba la casa. Aun así, Abel tenía cuidado porque no sería nada raro encontrar alguna serpiente en estos sitios oscuros y abandonados por el hombre.
Abel comenzó a limpiar la casa con cuidado, lo primero que intentó el viudo fue sacarle el polvo a la cama y verificar que no haya ninguna araña viviendo entre sus colchas. Acto seguido, Abel limpio un poco el piso y los alrededores de la cama.

Después de comerse varios sustos debido a las arañas que corrían asustadas, Abel terminó de preparar la casa a medias. Abel quiso terminar de limpiar la casa, pero el hombre notó que ya se estaba por hacer de noche.
Dado que el día estaba por terminar, Abel sacó unos sanguches de su motocicleta que había comprado en el camino y los comió afuera de la casa mientras miraba el atardecer en el campo.
Abel comió con tranquilidad mientras meditaba sobre su pasado y sobre todo reflexionaba sobre lo que vivió en Golden Valley con su esposa.
—Se siente bastante solitario, comer acá solo y en silencio...—Murmuró Abel mirando a las gallinas que caminaban con sus pollitos por los alrededores; estos animales eran la única compañía que el hombre tenía.
—Aunque el campo te hace sentir realmente libre...—Comentó Abel con melancolía, mirando el amplio horizonte lleno de naturaleza y a los animales pastando sin preocupación alguna.
Para un hombre de ciudad como él, acostumbrado a la vida artificialmente acelerada de las personas, este tipo de escenas llenas de armonía; en donde cada animal se toma todo el tiempo del mundo para comer un poco de pasto, a Abel lo llenaba de tranquilidad y le recordaba lo mal que uno aceptaba vivir por un poco más de dinero y servicios aparentemente esenciales.
Cuando el sol se puso en el horizonte, la oscuridad en el campo era bastante importante; sin embargo, un poco de luz llegaba de los autos que pasaban por la ruta.
Ya cansado por el largo viaje y por estar tanto tiempo limpiando, Abel entró en la casa, cerró la puerta de madera y se dirigió a la cama iluminando con una linterna. Arriba de la cama se encontraba colocada una bolsa de dormir que Abel usaría para no tener que lidiar con alguna araña que haya escapado de la limpieza.

Abel se metió en la bolsa de dormir y por la gran cantidad de trabajo realizado se desmayó en la cama. Cuando el hombre volvió a abrir los ojos, Abel escuchó a los gallos cacareando con violencia en el exterior de la casa como si alarmas se tratasen.
Aún era muy temprano y de suerte serían las 5 de la mañana, pero Abel se había ido a dormir temprano también, por lo que había dormido bastante bien a pesar de todo.
Los tímidos rayos de sol del amanecer iluminaban la casa de madera y se filtraban por la madera dispareja de las paredes, por lo que Abel no tuvo demasiados problemas para guardar todo y comenzar a prepararse para otras 12 largas horas de viaje hasta llegar a su destino.
Con la bolsa de dormir guardada y todas sus pertenencias en orden, Abel se dirigió a la tranquera del campo y dio inicio a la última parte de su viaje.
Pero antes de irse, Abel quiso despedirse y agradecerle al viejo que había tenido la gentileza de prestarle su casa sin preguntarle su nombre; no obstante, cuando Abel paso por el hotel, el hombre se dio cuenta de que la silla donde se sentaba el anciano estaba vacía, por lo que el vaquero aún no se había despertado.
Un poco apenado por no poder despedirse, Abel puso en marcha su moto y comenzó el final de esta travesía hacia Golden Valley.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
