《UMA ESTÓRIA DANATUÁ (ficção - português)》DESPEDIDA
Advertisement
Para trás sempre deixamos os que amamos nessa lida solitária. Ao adormecer, ao sentirmos medo, ao nos sentirmos alegres, sempre nos descobriremos sós, tal como no dia em que estivermos para morrer. Solidão, é o que resta, ao final.
Adanu se voltou na direção do sol e, sob um silêncio extremamente pesado, levantou os braços e soltou um grito profundo e longo, cheio de saudades e dor, que foi ecoando por dentro da floresta. Vozes de todos que estavam nos campos aos pés dos montes foram se juntando naquele grito que trazia em si despedida, esperança e fé. Logo encorpou, se tornando como que um rufar, como um trovão que fazia vibrar a própria terra; todos os que estavam ali sentiram seus corpos se arrepiarem, numa onda de poder que varria e tomava todo o ar.
Repentinamente, sem mais qualquer palavra, Adanu montou no queixada. A comitiva, solenemente, sob as explosões dos gritos, foi para borda da floresta das sombras.
Adanu sentiu um terrível peso no coração. Para trás ficavam os amigos, os dias dos quais se podia dizer com alguma certeza de como seriam os seguintes; para trás os dias de sol; para trás os votos de sucesso e sorte. Morreriam todos na distância que estava para colocar entre eles e esses dias.
Com alguma dificuldade romperam o mato alto que cercava a borda da mata em direção ao início da trilha do Tatu, anunciada por duas árvores imensas e encorpadas que uniam seus galhos bem no alto, como um vivo portal. Assim que finalmente atravessaram o mato e pisaram na borda da floresta, imenso paredão coruscado e vivo à frente, Adanu parou o queixada sob a arcada da trilha que penetrava as sombras e sorriu. Nos últimos anos fizera dali seu lugar, onde se mantinha em silêncio, parado, sondando as profundezas da floresta, escutando seus sons e os sons dos que viviam ali dentro. E agora ali estava ele, no verdadeiro momento que sempre soube que teria. Já o vira muitas vezes e, com alguma certeza, sabia o que poderia estar lá dentro, a partir do momento que pedisse ao seu queixada para se afundar naquelas sombras.

Ali estavam as guerras e as pessoas ruins, e os demônios e,... gestos nobres e poderosos, companheiros e senhores de dias incríveis; ali dentro estaria a perdição e a salvação e, tinha certeza absoluta, melhores dias para os homens que deles seriam senhores, e para as pessoas, e animais e nefelins. Dias melhores, sempre, porque mesmo que demore, nada é feito para regredir.
Vencido pela emoção virou-se para trás, para o alarido quase doloroso e espantado de despedida dos que ficavam, para os rostos tristes e assustados, para os homens de faces abobalhadas, para os entes de olhos estreitos e luminosos como a lua, para os que sabiam estarem perdendo o mundo que conheciam nesse espaço de tempo cada vez mais curto. Por longo tempo esse dia foi esperado, mas agora que viera ficavam indecisos, procurando cada migalha do tempo velho antes de se deixarem engolfar pelo turbilhão terrível.
Seu peito doeu ao compartilhar tamanha perda.
Ante tanto sentimento de perda as cores alegres com que os humanos haviam se vestido e decorado os postes e árvores mais próximas pareciam despropositadas.
De relance passou os olhos pela comitiva, e sentiu uma dor fina no peito ao seguir os olhos da filha, que procurava no meio da multidão ao longe por alguém especial, mesmo que assim fosse pela última vez. E a viu baixar os olhos, uma nuvem triste pesando nos olhos.
- Despedidas, apenas despedidas - sussurrou para o vento.
Com firmeza, lentamente levantou o braço e o abanou em despedida.
Um grito único, feito de tudo que conhecia e amava ecoou no ar. A comitiva levantou as armas em despedida. Adanu cerimoniosamente afagou o queixada e falou-lhe baixinho:
- Tudo é temporário, grande amigo.
Olhos fixos para frente avançaram na trilha, sob explosão de gritos, para dentro da escuridão da floresta.

The Isekai Police (aka "Earth's Advocates")
When evil kings summon kids from Earth to be used and abused as fast-leveling soldiers in their petty wars, the Isekai Police will be there to stop them. A group of ex-isekai protagonists in their own right, they utilize their collective skills to fight for the end of summoning abuse. Artyom Choi, cynical ex-hero and founding member of the organization, is sent to investigate the presence of an Earther on an innocently idyllic World where no summoning has supposedly taken place. His mission: rescue the Earther and figure out how he got there. Dark secrets lie beneath the surface of paradise, however. Will he be able to find this new hero and get out before whatever malicious forces brought them there doom them both? Book 1 has been finished! You can read Book 2 here in parallel or even before Book 1 if you want more TOAL than Artyom! https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/47708/the-isekai-police-hero-summonings-are-overrated This story is meant to be a deconstruction of the isekai genre that references and sometimes pokes fun at various tropes. Artyom isn’t some kid whose goal is to amass Levels or a harem. In fact, all he cares about is protecting other Earthers, and won’t let anything like that get in the way! So expect to see: -A mature main character who still has some flaws. -Character development over the course of the story. -No harems! (see last point) -A vibrant world full of interesting people, deep culture, and mysterious lore that gets uncovered as the story goes on. -Plenty of funny moments along the way! -The presence of a few cliched tropes and stereotypes only for the sake of poking fun at them. So step in, take the first leap, and uncover the next hot take on this expansive genre! My discord here: https://discord.gg/Zc8CHSrxVr

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
