《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》025
Advertisement
A month flew by and like every day, Adam was about to enter the classroom, but it seems that someone had decorated the classroom this time; as the entrance to the classroom was covered with white paper stars and various paper streamers.
With some hesitation, Adam opened the door to find the entire room covered in white streamers. Achilles had a paper cone on his head like a hat, and the other two students had it on as well.
—Here, Adam, put this on,—Achilles said, passing him a paper cone.
Adam, somewhat dazedly, put the cone on his head and sat in the chair at the desk.
—Today we celebrate its first 10 pages!—Achilles shouted, taking a black book from the table, the book opened and the light in the room disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the book began to turn its pages and project stars on the walls of the wooden classroom.
Adam was thrilled with the scene, but what surprised him most was that the stars began to dance around the room until they formed a sentence on the ceiling that said: 'Happy 10 pages!', in three languages. Adam concentrated and was able to read the words written in the language of the middle floor.
—He congratulated them all!— Achilles said in a very euphoric way— Franco, do you know how many pages the top book has in total?
—Yes, there are 120—Franco answered proudly.
Adam thought about the answer in case they asked him, if he remembered correctly, his book was 140 pages long, but they all counted the same; so he figured that one day he would have to read more pages than the rest.
—Very well—said Achilles—Every 10 pages, one celebrates a milestone on their way to mastering the reading of the language. To celebrate, everyone has to read all 10 pages out loud during this class, and we'll see what happens. Once they finish, close their book and there will be no book until they all finish reciting.

As Achilles said, all the students were reciting their day's pages and closed the book after doing it. They didn't notice anything strange, but they followed the instructions.
—Luckily it was only 30 pages— Achilles said, somewhat tired from hearing the same story 3 times— Now there will be his books. Notice something weird?
Adam opened it and was surprised, all Achilles' annotations disappeared and also all the words in the book changed. The teacher, noticing the surprised face of all his students, explained:
—The book changes all the words automatically if you manage to recite 10 pages in a row; that is to say that now they have to read it from scratch again until they reach 20 pages, but this time it is not the same. Now the words are different and more complicated. The last reading: the complete reading of 120/140 pages is the test to get your black robe. If you read it, you already master the language.
—But I don't understand anything—Bianca complained—why did he change so much?
Adam also noticed the problem. It is not that only new words appeared; but phrases without apparent meaning had also appeared, such as: 'The mouse ate the building'. The sentence had nothing to do with the previous paragraph and nothing to do with the entire page; which describes the story of a young hero.
—Yes, now it doesn't make sense—Achilles said with a smile, but also annoyed; this was the hardest part to teach— But later they will learn that the same sentence can have different meanings, unfortunately. At the moment we will see little by little that in the next week.
While he was saying that, Achilles took out a wooden box and took out 3 way badges with the number 10 inscribed on them and passed them to each student saying:
—For the rest, as is the tradition of this Hexagon; you can visit the bookstores of the first 10 pages found in the paintings.
—They are bookstores, not shelves— Achilles clarified in more detail; for fear that Adam will not go.

For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!

Sinner's Resolve: An Agent's Wish
A demon that had never batted an eye while mercilessly reaping the lives of many. A prodigy who accomplished the impossible. A hero that dutifully followed his orders. A messiah of the people. Many titles were given to him, whether it be in praise or in fear, but only one thing could be agreed upon by the people...All who he had ever crossed paths with had met an untimely death. He slowly rose to the top and earned himself the name of Black Death. A nameless person who was eventually awarded a cursed and bloodied name... Must this continue?...... He stared at his hands before turning his gaze towards his next three targets. Their photographs were neatly aligned along his makeshift table, accompanying him inside of a dimly lit room. Each one of them had earned their seat as the best special agents within their respective organizations. There must be a way...There has to be a way... Shaking away his thoughts, he quietly pocketed away the photos before exiting the room. A chance meeting that would forever change his cruel fate, and a wish that would transcend worlds. This is the story of a man who had nothing yet lost everything but a single wish, a silver lining that would completely change his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes - Hello everyone! This is my first work and I will hopefully stay around for a while. I will try to finish or at least expand on this piece of work for quite some time, expect a few hiatuses in between though, still have a bit of schooling to do. Expected release dates will probably be once a week(not sure yet) after I stabilized the novel a bit as I'm still debating on how I should handle this. I prefer fleshed-out works compared to quick releases, but it also depends on how I'm feeling. I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing skills and I believe that my writing style is a bit weird, but I do want to try my best to tell a story that's worth telling. I will gladly accept criticism but please try to pull the punches back a bit! I'm still only human after all. Very excited to work on this, please take good care of me as I proceed on this journey with all of you! P.S. If you're going into my series, expect to see cliches sprinkled here and there. I personally love cliches and a few tropes! But, that goes without saying, I want to put my own spin on them. Be ready to feel the edge!!! Heh.
