《Los Caracteres Perdidos [Fantasía oscura] - Español / Spanish - (Completo)》E1-72-El monje
Advertisement
Adam siguió bajando las escaleras de mármol hasta el primer piso medio y se dirigió a la cueva. El joven estaba un poco nervioso y caminaba con velocidad por los pasillos, tratando de que la gente no mirara sus ojos.
Cuando llegó al pasillo donde se encontraba la cueva, finalmente Adam se tranquilizó, para su sorpresa el viejo no se formó en su estantería para recibirlo como había hecho siempre todos los días desde que obtuvo el libro con piel humana.
Como el viejo no aparecía, Adam tomó uno de los libros en sus estantes; era el método antiguo y no lo usaba hace tiempo.
La cabeza del viejo sin ojos se quedó un rato esperando con cautela y preguntó con voz gruñona:
—¿Vas a leerlo?, ¿O solo te vas a quedar mirándome como si te debiera algo?
—¡Únicamente quiero pasar a mi casa!—Gritó Adam molesto, al parecer no había solucionado nada la máscara, la estantería seguía insistiendo con que lea el libro.
Pero antes de que el viejo sin ojos pudiera contestar, un rostro se formó en la estantería vecina. Adam se sorprendió, en tantos años viviendo en la cueva, esta era la primera vez que veía al vecino del viejo sin ojos: su cabeza tenía el corte de un monje, también conocido como tonsura. Además, el rostro de la estantería estaba completo, lo cual era bastante raro para las estanterías. Cuando terminó de formarse, el monje dijo:
—Oh, hermano de gran corazón, no confíes en ese viejo sin ojos: ¡Su corazón está tan podrido como los tablones que forman sus estantes!
Adam no sabía que las estanterías podían sabotearse entre ellas de esta forma. El joven nunca le había dicho al viejo sin ojos que conocía el efecto del libro, por lo cual estaba algo impaciente por ver qué haría el viejo.

El viejo sin ojos, ignoro al monje deliberadamente y dijo con voz amarga:
—Si fallas te convertiré en unos de mis hongos, pero únicamente debes responder una de mis preguntas y leerás mis libros mágicos.
Adam se quedó mirando al viejo sin ojos, sin entender a qué venía que le contara su regla.
—¡Es el chico que vive en tu cueva, viejo inútil!—Le gritó el monje con enojo.
—¿Adam?—Unos ojos surgieron del rostro del viejo y miraron a Adam por unos minutos, como si quisiera encontrarle la falla al truco del forastero.
—¿Vas a dejarme pasar?—preguntó Adam impaciente.
—No, usted no puede pasar…—Respondió el viejo mirando a Adam con sospecha—Dijo Sí... De hecho, puedes pasar. Es una gran sorpresa, pero no leíste ningún libro mágico.
—Soy yo, viejo, claro que no leí nada—Respondió Adam molesto.
—¿Adam?—Dijo el viejo mirando al pelirrojo de arriba a abajo —¿Se incendió las casas de librillos del barón y te tiraste al fuego para salvarlos? ¿O qué pasó?
—Te digo que ocurrió...—Respondió Adam—Si me dices el efecto del primer libro mágico que te hice ganar.
—¡Pasa!—Respondió el viejo sin ojos con enojo, abriendo la puerta, parecía no querer discutir enfrente del monje.
Adam procedió a entrar, pero antes de que pudiera entrar, el monje mencionó con una voz armónica:
—El libro que trata que leas el viejo sin ojos tiene mal aspecto y a mal aspecto: mala lectura.
Al decir las palabras, el monje volvió a sumergirse en la madera. Adam se sorprendió, ese era un consejo muy útil que no sabía. El joven héroe le agradeció a la estantería del monje y entró en la cueva.

Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
