《El Infierno de Dante - Español》18-Transición
Advertisement
El viejo gateó por el pasillo de tierra por unos cuantos minutos. La oscuridad era absoluta; al punto que el viejo no podía ver sus propias manos tocando la fría y húmeda tierra.
Hacía bastante frío en el pasillo y un viento helado surgía de la espalda del viejo constantemente; lo cual provocaba que el cuerpo del anciano no paraba de temblar, por suerte la cómoda camisa de algodón que vestía el viejo lo ayudaba a combatir un poco con el frío que hacía en el túnel de tierra.
El lugar de donde provenía ese viento siempre fue desconocido para el anciano; dado que el viejo recordaba haber cerrado la puerta en su espalda. Pero el anciano nunca se animó a darse la vuelta en este túnel, por lo que en toda su vida nunca descubrió que pasaba si iba en la dirección donde provenía el viento helado.
Luego de gatear por un rato más por el túnel, el viejo vislumbró que había una fuente de luz en el horizonte: extrañamente uno solo podía ver esa luz si se acercaba lo suficiente. El viejo gateo hacia esa luz con lentitud; el anciano no estaba apurado: él sabía que el tiempo nunca fue un problema del cual preocuparse.
Al llegar hasta la fuente de la luz, el anciano llegó a una bifurcación, por tanto, había dos caminos posibles. Un camino iba hacia la derecha y estaba completamente oscuro. El otro camino iba hacia la izquierda y estaba iluminado por unas flores blancas que crecían en el pasillo.
Las flores eran muy similares a una flor de jazmín y tenían un rico aroma a vainilla. Pero lo más importante de las flores eran que daban luz y eran la fuente de luz que el anciano pudo ver en la distancia.
Sin mucha duda, el viejo gateo por el túnel con flores. El viejo hace mucho había ido por el camino oscuro, pero el resultado era técnicamente el mismo: ya que el túnel oscuro solo te dirigía a otra bifurcación en donde uno podía ir a la izquierda o a la derecha y uno de los dos caminos estaría iluminado con las mismas flores.

Si elegías el camino oscuro, entonces buscarían otra bifurcación y si eligieras el iluminado, entonces saldrías del túnel.
La razón por la que el resultado era técnicamente el mismo y no exactamente el mismo era porque el viejo nunca salía por el mismo sitio. Por tanto, el resultado final no cambiaba nunca: siempre el anciano tomaría la decisión de elegir entre una salida aleatoria y otra salida aleatoria.
El viejo gateo por el túnel iluminado hasta que pudo observar una puerta manchada con barro y llena de musgo en la distancia. El viejo gateó hasta la puerta y al llegar observó la puerta con cuidado; ya que la puerta nunca era la misma.
Como la puerta estaba muy manchada, el viejo usó las mangas de su camisa para remover el barro y sus dedos para ir sacando el musgo que crecía sobre la puerta. A medida que el viejo trabajaba en remover la suciedad, una puerta de metal comenzó a revelarse en la pared del túnel.
La puerta de metal no estaba oxidada, sino que estaba en perfecto estado a pesar de su suciedad, parecía ser la puerta de una caja fuerte y tenía una rueda de metal similar al timón de un barco en medio de la puerta.
El viejo arrancó algunas flores de la pared del túnel y las usó para iluminar mejor la puerta; no obstante, no había nada más en ella que pudiera llamar la atención del anciano.
Acto seguido, el viejo puso sus dos manos sobre la rueda de metal y comenzó a girar la rueda provocando que la puerta se abriera. Viendo la salida del túnel, el viejo con algo de expectativa salió para encontrarse con lo que había en el otro lado.

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.

Dreamer/Leveler
Zachary Trenner is a freshman at Burlington High School. Despite his mundane appearance and advanced course curriculum, something strange is happening to him. Every time he goes to sleep he switches worlds. Portals are popping up everywhere, allowing access between Earth and the world of Vera. Now he must spend every waking and sleeping moment getting stronger to fight off the [Instance Dungeons] opening on both Vera, and Earth. Prepare for an RPG fiction full of magic, action, a touch of romance, and the author's own dry humor. When the modern technology of Earth meets the medieval magic of Vera, which culture will invade the other world first? When the army rangers of the United States collide with the members of the Hunter's Guild, who will win? Updates on Wednesdays/Thursdays Cover is my own creation. Tips to reading: This is my first book, so cliches and tropes are used as the base and then expanded upon. My intention is to make it a casual read but deep if you decide to look closer. I'm not a people person, so my focus and purpose for writing this is to explore the world building and magic system, not necessarily the characters. There won't be a villian until the postgame ;) Author's philosophy: I took an professional personality inventory (through a community college back in 2018) and was categorized as a "double-checker." I'm never satisfied with the work that I complete, and never want to share it with anyone. But this book is a challenge to myself! As a rule of thumb, I will only add to the story. I can't remove elements I've already included (unless absolutely, absolutely necessary). PS, I'm a native English speaker.

I Have Even Read the Rulebook!
As all stories begin, Prof died. Yes, truck-kun had something to do with that, but also a bird, a cat and some rebar. When he was presented with with the opportunity in the Afterlife Administration Bureau to be transmigrated into a game-like fantasy world, he did something, no one ever did: he read the Rulebook. Follow Prof on his road to be rich without working, touring a whole new world without a care and witness his realisation, that despite having read the Rulebook the folks living with the System for untold millennia know more about the rules. Important notes: 1, I'm not a native speaker, so be prepared for occassional typos, iffy grammar and maybe awkward sentences. The spell check was running, when I wrote the chapters, but it works in strange ways... If you point out mistakes, I will try to correct them 2, Scheduling will be two chapters a week, posted Saturdays before noon (CET). Depending on how much new chapters I can write consistently there will be probably more but as long as I have leftover chapters, the two per week will be posted no matter what. Chapters will be around 1500-2500 words as MS Word counts it. 3, I did not and will not post this novel on another site, if you find it somewhere else, please inform me 4, The Main Character's progression is slow, there will be no Levels, Skills, Abilities, Feats, Perks and Cheat Powers raining down on him 5, I've put Comedy as a genre because of my writing style not because the novel is a comedy per se. On the other hand, Traumatising Content is there because there is a lot of speciesism - those Elves are not nice people. 6, I put a lot of pop-cultural references into the chapters, try to find them! Enjoy!
