《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》075

The list, although not long, had 30 enchantments inscribed on the wood. The possible combinations were not few, so Adam felt somewhat overwhelmed.
His godfather also seemed quite nervous, he was crossing things out in the notebook, erasing himself and crossing them out again. When he came up with a good combination, Adam couldn't make out what he had written from the crossed out pages of the notebook. His godfather noticed the error, deleted the content of the two pages, and his place appeared:
'Highlight footsteps, Highlight tracks, Anti-blindness
Highlight footsteps: It helps us to track some dangerous or very useful creatures. It seems like a good option.
Highlight Clues: It will help us understand some secrets of the shelves. It can save our lives and opens up other options for us in the future.
Anti-blindness: It's the best in the store: Yes or yes, take it! Take it and everything will be joy in your life! It's the key to your future, boy!'
Adam looked at the instructions and asked once more: 'Wouldn't it be better to take something to use for fighting? There is an option that allows you to set fire to what you see.'
His godfather responded by crossing out his question and writing angrily:
'That's a curse, asshole! How are you going to read a book if you are going to set it on fire!
Just like highlighting footsteps is something that always works. Think that you will see the floor stained with another color, and your new floor color will be the footsteps of the librarians.
Anyway, he remembers: You are not a warrior, you are a librarian! We do not seek to save the world from danger as brave heroes, we seek to get out alive as cowards! But cowards tell the stories of the brave!

Take what I said and add a design that hides your eyes from the librarians, but allows you to read, be careful with your words. This bookshelf doesn't lie with its rules, but it can destroy your life if you ask for something lightly'
Adam thought some more, especially the words about the design of the goggle, he didn't want to be given something useless. After a while, he explained the details of his design to the person made of pebbles.
—Well, it would be a total of 310 character pages — He commented on the shelf with great surprise when he saw that the client asked for everything, it seemed that it hadn't happened for a long time— There are 300 for enchantments, 10 for the assembly.
After saying that, the pebble person searched the room for a while until he found a green notebook, with the notebook in his hand he asked:
—How many questions do you plan to answer?
—None, he paid for all 310 character pages —Adam said as he watched the shelf's reaction suspiciously, the last thing he wanted was for him to break his rules at the last minute.
—Are you going to pay for all the pages? That's strange, that didn't happen a long time ago... A long time ago—said the person with pebbles, his voice seemed somewhat bitter when he said that— Give me your card, so we'll see if you really have the pages .
Adam handed her the card, then put his finger on the green pad as his details were crossed off the pad. A very sad grimace appeared on the face of a pebble person, and a few tears began to flow from his one eye. The tears were black and seemed to be made of ink.
Then the pebble person burst into loud tears, startling Adam, the boy had never seen a bookshelf so emotional, he didn't even know they could cry.

Some time passed, quite a bit in fact, and the shelf between tears said:
—What a bitter time you lived through, young man. And more for a hero. What a dark path you have ahead.
—Why is this a bad time?—Adam asked, scared. This bookcase had to be one of the most important on the middle floor, to tell you this is terrible.
—It is not the duty of the bookshelves to answer the questions of the librarians—answered the person with pebbles between tears—But the books can do it: study the history of the stone bookshelf.
After saying that, the pebble person approached the white rabbit and showed it to Adam, saying:
—The reward for having gathered so much fortune in this life is to have your name in my store.
Adam looked at the white rabbit; the inscription on the heart held by the rabbit had changed and now read: 'Adam'

Peerless Hegemon
Warning: Can be quite tearjerking and depressing (or so others say). If you are weak to that and hates that kind of thing, then this story is not for you === Ye Feng lived two lives in one lifetime. First, he basked in the light of Righteousness, becoming an idol of peace and justice. Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death. One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose. A meaningless existence. An empty husk. In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality. He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none. But he cast it away, to be reborn anew. With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place. To understand how to no longer feel empty. With his family consisting of a Reincarnated Twin Sister and Parents with inscrutable pasts, his desire was not that of grandeur. In this lifetime, he wishes not to hold power, not to gain eternal life, nor control of everything, he only wishes to live, and hopefully look at sunrise with a smile on his face. === Disclaimer: The story focuses on the Main Character’s emotional and personality growth. He is someone who is, obviously OP in some perspectives but almost crippled in others. He is not soft and does not spare anyone because it is “Bad” so expect that there would be genocide and some bloody encounters. I want this instead of just the MC’s search for life and its complication. Where Philosophy and values exist. A story where every action has proper consequences, and not everything can be conquered with a single punch (unless it can be, no need for an unnecessary complication if it can be avoided). Further Notes: This is a story that will gradually increase in word counts and become Chunkier as it progresses and will almost never be below 2000 words, but if the word count will only lengthen the chapter at the expense of a finished tale, it could and would be cut off before 2000 mark), give it a try, it won’t disappoint (I hope). And if by chance that you like it, giving a good Rating and Review will be encouraging to me and possible readers. Schedule: Monday and Friday If you want to read ahead and/or support me to creating this story, you can do it through my Patreon (link below the next chapter button.) This is also a rewrite of this: Peerless Hegemon [OLD] | Royal Road
