Advertisement
“Where am I?” A girl with pale skin, long bright red hair and bright greenish eyes, floats in a dark space, she opens her eyes:
“Oh yeah, I was sacrificed to revive a God…”
The girl sheds tears as she remembers the words from a young man:
"Leticia, it's normal to feel scared but listen...If you are ever in danger, I will protect you...right now you are my partner and that means that you are someone who I will protect…"
Leticia slowly sinks into the darkness as she whispers:
“Uriel…help me…”
Suddenly, a bright light shines. Leticia turns around and sees memories in the shape of bubbles:
“What are those?”
Leticia is about to discover the truth of what happened to Mexico 500 years in the past…During the Age of Conquest…
***************************************************************************
In Mexico City, an important event was about to happen…the revelation of the Golden City…however, before that…Uriel and Marjorie had to face La Llorona…
(DRIP DRIP DRIP DROP DROP )
Once again rain begins to fall at Xochimilco, Uriel stands in front of the ghost of the woman.
Uriel looks at the ghost, and chuckles; “So, this is the Famous Llorona. Sister Griselda always told me when I was little that if I went outside at night without permission, La Llorona would get me, now I know it's true.”
La Llorona looks at Uriel. Uriel takes a deep breath.
“I want to talk to you; you are Marina, are you?”
Uriel asks the woman in Ancient Aztec language. The woman stares at him and nods, she lets go of the children, the children frightened of seeing the ghost run towards Marjorie and hug her crying.
La Llorona has the appearance of a beautiful woman; she has her skin white and hair, yellow eyes, a long white dress with long sleeves. She has white veil covering her face and her feet are not visible.
La Llorona feels Uriel’s mana and gets angry:
“Guerra”
Uriel notices the wind gaining speed and her mana growing. La Llorona suddenly screams:
“AAAAAYYYYY MMMMIIIIISSSS HHHIIIJJJJOOOSSS”
“Marjorie, take the kids and run inside the house Hurry!!”
Marjorie nods and grabs the two children from their hands and runs inside the house. Bella and her cat were nowhere to be seen.

The ghost's appearance changes as claws begin to grow out of her hands, her corneas change into black and her eyes change into red with blood coming out of her eyes.
La Llorona releases a shock wave as she screams one more time.
(BBBBOOOMMM)
At that moment, Uriel begins to feel that his soul was separated from his body as he hears her scream. His body feels numb and he is losing consciousness.
Suddenly, Uriel makes a fist and flames come out of his ring changing him into a partial Charro Form which only consisted of his suit without his coat, Gloves or his hat. His soul returns to his body.
Uriel breathes heavily as he says; “That was a close one; I could die if I´m not careful.”
La Llorona screams one more time, Uriel stands up: “Barrera de Viento” (Wind Barrier)
Uriel creates a wind barrier, blocking her attack. La Llorona disappears behind a tree. Uriel closes his eyes and tries to located her using his “Rhythm Sense”
“Where is she? I can´t hear her rhythm at all.” Uriel thinks as he closes his eyes.
(DRIP DRIP DROP DROP)
Uriel feels water from behind, Uriel opens his eyes with shock; “How did she…”
Uriel jumps forward as La Llorona is behind him.
(SSSLLLAAASSHHHH)
La Llorona connects her attack, by slashing Uriel’s back.
“URRRIIEEEL!!!!”Majorie screams, Uriel steps back and gets into one knee breathing heavily.
Uriel smiles; “She is quick, and dangerous.”
Uriel stands up looking for her, however, La Llorona once again makes her presence disappear.
Uriel feels her presence from below him, he jumps back. La Llorona continues to attack him. She continues to attack while Uriel dodges her multiple times.
“Very well…time to use this…” -STEP- Uriel steps on the ground with force creating a field with musical notes:
“Campo de la Canción; Principio” (Song Field, Beginning)
The field expands all over the area. The ghost disappears one more time. Uriel closes his eyes and begins to concentrate. Uriel hears guitar strings coming from the ground.
“I found you!!” Uriel thinks as he dodges the ghost attack from the ground. He grabs the ghost's arms and looks at her in the eyes. Uriel holds tightly:

“Ahide and Xochitl are alive.”
Suddenly, the ghost turns back to her original form; her claws disappear as she calms down. La Llorona begins to cry putting her hands in her face saying:
“AY MIS HIJOS.”
Uriel puts his hand in her shoulder and speaks in Aztec language:
“I met them, both of them look healthy and are being protected by Quetzalcoatl…”
The ghost stands up looking at Uriel: “You have pure eyes, but an evil soul, you remind me of Cortes a long time ago.”
“Please tell me what happened to you”
The ghost lowers her head looking down. She looks at him in the eyes and begins to speak:
“I will, I want to see my children and I know you take me to them.”
La Llorona stands up and says: “It all happened 500 years ago, on the faithful day I met that man.”
***************************************************************************
500 years ago in the Mexican Gulf Coast…
The following is the story of betrayal and pain…
During the age of Exploration…Sailors from Spain arrived at the coasts of Mexico…among them…a man who held an important fate and with his actions, he would change the History of all mankind…
“Ayúdenos por favor necesitamos Agua por favor!” ( Help us please, we need water.)
A young man pleads to the leader of a Native village near the coast. The man wears strange clothing made of silk, colored brown. He has white skin, brown eyes and brown hair. The man came with some soldiers with him and wanted water and food.
The village elder ordered them to stay on the coast and provided water to them. Also he ordered them to provide medical treatment. Among them was a young girl named Marina who was 17 years old at that time. She has brown skin, black hair, and yellow eyes. She was ordered to look after Cortes.
Little did they know that the Explorers arrived with a powerful guest…
Standing in the weather deck, a woman wearing a long red dress with a veil covering her face and a long witch’s hat; “Fufufu…what a splendid land filled with mana…”
The woman takes a look at the man and Marina having a conversation. She chuckles as she senses her mana:
“I found my new pawn…soon…my objective will come true…”
The woman slowly fades away from the ship.
After a couple of months, Marina was the smartest person in the village, she learned to communicate with the voyagers in just one month, she became close to the captain whose name was Cortes, she often went to their ships to learn more about their language and cultures. She would bring that information to the elder. She and the other women of the tribe became close to the man of the ships.
Note; This conversation is in Spanish…
“Thank you for taking care of us, Marina” The young man thanks Marina, and puts a flower in her head as they walk down the beach.
The voyagers and the Natives formed a close relationship, the leader permitted them to enter the village and live with them. As a reward the voyagers gave them some of their treasures they brought with them, such as silk, plants and other materials.
“No, thank you” Marina blushes and asks the young man: “Cortes, why did you come here? Are you going to hurt our people?”
“Of course not!!” Cortes grabs Marina with his both arms and looks at her in the eyes:
“My mission is to explore and nothing else Marina, the only thing I want is to follow our God's will and to help my family in Spain” Cortes realizes they were too close and blushes.
He steps back from Marina but Marina hugs him; “Cortes, I think that I fell in love with you, isn't that funny?”
The man blushes but holds her tight as well, surprising Marina. Cortes looks at Marina in the eyes; “Marina, I love you as well, under this full moon I swear I will be with you forever.”
The two of them exchange a kiss under the light of the full moon with the wind blowing causing the waves to move as well.

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.
