《El Infierno de Dante - Español》12-La familia
Advertisement
Luego de hacer los preparativos finales para el largo viaje, toda la familia se reunió en la tranquera de la estancia para poder despedirse del abuelo, Carlos y su esposa.
En la puerta de la estancia también había varios trabajadores rurales y criados, arribas de unos carros llenos de maletas. Los cuales estaban esperando a que los familiares se despidieran para llevar las pertenencias al puerto.
Carlos y su esposa estaban tratando de montarse a un caballo para poder dirigirse al puerto de Rosario, donde el barco vendría a buscar. Luego el barco los llevaría al puerto de Buenos Aires y en Buenos Aires tendrían que embarcar en un barco para viajes de largas distancias rumbo a Inglaterra.
Mientras tanto, el abuelo estaba arriba de un caballo mirando a todos sus familiares con desconfianza. El abuelo tenía varios moretones y marcas de garras en los brazos, por lo que parecía que se hubiera peleado con algún animal, más que caerse de la cama.
Según las instrucciones que el abuelo había dado a la familia, ninguno de los familiares se despediría con un abrazo o un beso y solo se dirían unas pocas palabras en las distancias.
—Probablemente, no volveremos a vernos, padre...—Comentó Ernesto con una sonrisa triste en el rostro al ver como su padre lo miraba como si fuera un extraño.
—Espero que así sea...—Respondió el abuelo mirando a su hijo con desconfianza—Ni siquiera sabes como me llamo, pero me llamas padre todo el tiempo. Eres realmente un idiota al tratar de engañarme.
—Sabía que iba a ser complicado...—Murmuro Ernesto con algunas lágrimas en el rostro; Ernesto ya de por sí odiaba las despedidas y más un las odiaba si su padre no lo recordaba cuando lo veía por última vez.
Notando que su padre estaba por largarse a llorar, Mario decidido proceder a saludar a su abuelo para no hacer la despedida más larga y dolorosa para su padre:

— Chau, Abuelo, espero que te vaya bien en Inglaterra
—Tú no eres mi nieto muchacho: tampoco sabes como me llamo y me llamas abuelo—Crítico el abuelo mientras miraba con cierto odio a Mario—Si fueras mi nieto, me hubieras despedido a la mañana y ahora estarías trabajando en el campo: ¿Cómo te piensas que te hiciste ese bronceado, bestia idiota?.
Mario no se molestó, sino que miró fijamente el rostro de su abuelo como si quisiera grabarlo en la memoria. Luego de unos segundos mirándolo, Mario contestó con una sonrisa:
—Sé que estás mal ahora, Abuelo. Pero voy a recordarte con la misma sonrisa que llevabas cuando la abuela aún estaba con vida.
El abuelo no contestó y en su lugar miro con desconfianza a su otro nieto que estaba agitando la mano desde la distancia:
—Chau, abuelo—Dijo Juan agitando la mano con algunas lágrimas; incluso siendo un niño sentía algo anormal en la situación por tener que saludar de esta manera.
—Chau... nieto...—Murmuró el viejo con lentitud, mirando las reacciones en el rostro de las otras personas, parecía que el abuelo lo decía para comprobar algo y no para saludar a su nieto; no obstante todos los demás familiares estaban bastante felices de ver al abuelo reconociendo a alguien de la familia.
—Espero que tengas un buen viaje—Dijo la esposa de Ernesto mientras se abanicaba.
El abuelo no se molestó en contestar a la esposa de Ernesto. En su lugar, el viejo miró con sospecha como su hijo menor y su nueva esposa seguían luchando para lograr subirse al caballo, mirando la escena por un rato el viejo murmuró:
—Realmente son unos idiotas…
Cuando Carlos y su esposa subieron al caballo, Ernesto se acercó a su hermano. Acto seguido, Ernesto metió la mano en el bolsillo como si buscara algo y una sonrisa se formó en su rostro al sentir que tocaba algo.

Como si fuera un regalo de despedida, Ernesto sacó una caja de madera de su bolsillo y se la entregó a su hermano arriba del caballo, diciendo con tono alegre:
—Te entrego los documentos de nuestro padre para que puedas subir al barco, suerte en el viaje hermano. Cuídalos bien los documentos y no los pierdas.
Al decir eso, todos los familiares miraron la caja en las manos de Carlos como si se tratara de un tesoro. El viejo miró la extraña escena desde la distancia y sonrió en silencio mientras miraba con atención la caja en las manos de Carlos. Inmediatamente, Carlos trato de abrir la caja de madera, pero noto que estaba cerrada con llave, por lo que pregunto:
—¿Sabes como abrir la caja de madera? Parece que necesita una llave.
Ernesto metió las manos en bolsillo en busca de algo, pero al sentir que no había nada en sus bolsillos, retiró las manos con cautela y comento:
—No tengo la llave, ¿Alguien recuerda donde la pusimos?
—Yo recuerdo como abrir esa caja…—Contestó el viejo inmediatamente sin dejar hablar a ninguno de sus familiares, mientras una sonrisa cada vez más amplia se formaba en su rostro.
—¿Dónde está la llave, abuelo?—preguntó Juan con curiosidad, mientras el resto de familiares miraba al anciano con expectativa.
El abuelo miró con cariño a su nieto y dijo con una sonrisa muy alegre:
—No se abre con llave esa caja, tienes que decir el comando de voz para abrirla. La contraseña es: ¿Qué ratón se robó mi queso?.
Todos los familiares y criados miraron al abuelo diciendo esa tontería; no obstante, Carlos miró la caja en sus manos unos minutos y murmuró en voz baja:
—¿Qué ratón se robó mi queso?
*Puff* Tras decir la contraseña, la cabeza de Carlos comenzó a inflarse como un globo hasta que explotó como una sandía rompiéndose en mil pedazos. Los trozos de cerebro de Carlos se desparramaron por todos los familiares que miraban con odio y desesperación al cuerpo sin cabeza de Carlos, que no paraba de escupir sangre por su cuello como si de una fuente se tratase.
*Puff,Puff,Puff,Puff,Puff* La cabeza de Ernesto y de todos los familiares fueron estallando en el acto, dejando solo al abuelo sonriendo a la distancia.
El abuelo sacó un cuchillo de plata muy finamente decorado que siempre guardaba en su cintura y mientras admiraba los cuerpos sin cabeza de sus supuestos familiares, el viejo procedió a levantar el cuchillo hasta su garganta. Acto seguido, el viejo, sin dudar, cortó su propia garganta de lado a lado; creando un manantial de sangre que envolvió su desgastado cuerpo.
Sin fuerzas para sostenerse, el viejo cayó del caballo. Desde el suelo, el viejo miró al cielo contemplativamente a medida que dejaba que la sangre fluyera por su garganta.
Lo último que vio el viejo, antes de perder la conciencia, fue a los criados y trabajadores corriendo con desesperación para tratar de salvarlo.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
