《El Infierno de Dante - Español》11-El Viejo
Advertisement
Al abrir la puerta, Ernesto pudo encontrarse con la cara de su padre asomándose desde la carpa arriba de la cama.
Ernesto no pudo ver si su padre estaba herido o no, ya que el cuerpo de su padre estaba oculto por las sábanas y por la poca iluminación que había de la sala parecía que el rostro de su padre estaba en perfectas condiciones.
—¿Papá? ¿Estás bien?—preguntó Ernesto con preocupación—Me contaron que te caíste de tu cama
—Sí, estoy bien...—Respondió el padre mirando a su hijo con cautela—¿A qué vinieron?
—A buscarte un mejor lugar donde vivir...—Comentó Ernesto con bastante dificultad para hablar.
—Acá vivo bien—Respondió el padre rápidamente con miedo de Ernesto.
—Vivir abajo de una carpa en una habitación oscura: ¿te parece que es vivir bien?—preguntó Carlos tratando de que su padre entrara en razón—Te llevaré a un sitio donde te atenderán como a un rey y habrá muchas personas como vos con las cuales puedas hablar.
—¿Existen más personas como yo?...—preguntó el padre con sospecha, pero parecía que la pregunta cargaba un rastro de esperanza—¿Encontraste tal sitio en tus aventuras por el mundo? ¿Dónde queda ese sitio, hijo?
Carlos se emocionó y se llenó de felicidad: al parecer su padre lo había reconocido. Carlos iba a contestar con felicidad, pero luego se detuvo porque había descubierto un problema por haber recordado algo que se había olvidado hace mucho tiempo. No obstante, su hermano no recordó lo mismo que él, por lo cual Ernesto con una sonrisa muy amplia contestó con felicidad:
—¡En Inglaterra existe un lugar donde podrás vivir mejor!
—Oh... Así que el sitio con personas como yo queda en Inglaterra...—Murmuró el padre con sospecha.
El viejo se quedó callado unos minutos mientras parecía estar reflexionando profundamente sobre un asunto serio. Por otra parte, Carlos estaba nervioso, porque ya recordaba una historia que su padre le había contado en la infancia.

Mientras que Ernesto pensaba que su padre estaba reflexionando sobre si ir o no, por lo que dejó que su padre meditara con calma su decisión final.
El silencio incómodo inundó la sala, hasta que el padre volvió a hablar preguntando:
—¿En qué año estamos?
—Estamos en el año 1901—Respondió Ernesto sin entender a qué iba la pregunta de su padre.
—¿Vives en Inglaterra, Carlos?—Preguntó el padre con algo de preocupación, sin recordar que su hijo le había mencionado que vivía en Estados Unidos el día que llegó a la estancia.
—No...—Respondió Carlos con aturdimiento porque de verdad su padre siguiera recordando esa historia sin sentido—Vivo en Estados Unidos, en Florida, donde está la familia de mi esposa.
—Supongo que podría ir a vivir a Inglaterra, yo solo...—Murmuró el viejo mientras meditaba más en profundidad el asunto—¿Cómo se llama el sitio donde se encuentran las personas como yo, querido hijo?
—No recuerdo como se llama el lugar...—Comentó Carlos con preocupación—Pero los rumores no son pocos y cuando lleguemos a Inglaterra averiguaremos más al respecto con las personas locales.
—Bueno, entonces iré...—Comentó el viejo, pero no salió de su tienda, sino que se quedó mirando a sus dos hijos con sospecha.
—Perfecto, tú quédate cómodo en tu habitación y nosotros dos prepararemos todo—Comentó Ernesto con una sonrisa muy amplia en el rostro.
Sin darle tiempo a que su padre pudiera cambiar de opinión, Ernesto comenzó a cerrar la puerta de la habitación, dejando al viejo que los miraba con sospecha nuevamente en la oscuridad.

Deviation
There is a place in the far off reaches of space. It is a lonely place in the barest portion at the edge of the universe. There are no stars or other planets for light-years. A region few have ever wanted to visit and fewer still actually have. If you were to visit you'd find and small rip in space-time leading to the most bizarre and out of place thing you have ever seen. A solar system consisting of five planets, all with life, all stuck in conflict, and all absolutely bursting with energy. For some it seems like a paradise. A land of sword and sorcery? Why would anyone pass that up? That was the thought process of the freshly dead boy. This boy, like many before him and many after him, was trying to find the bright side. Things had finally been going right for him, good grades, new friends, and best of all a girlfriend when the entire world ended. No huff, no puff, just poof the end. At least being reborn into this world would be fun. That definitely sounded like a bright side to most. Fracture, one of the five worlds in question, was massive and full of magic. It looked sounded and felt like it would be just another game, it even had prompts and levels. Piece of cake. Well that might be the case if Fracture was meant to be a paradise. The hottest fires forge the strongest swords. This fire has the habit of melting away oneself. A pixie clan searching for a new home, a boy who just lost his, a reality bending forest, and a bug that doesn't belong. All with an intense desire for power. Who will make it through the fire intact, and will they choose to be a hero, or will they join the long history of villains and monsters?

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return

Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
