《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》076

Adam looked at the white rabbit; the inscription on the heart held by the rabbit had changed and now read: 'Adam'
The bookshelf didn't talk about it anymore after saying that. And he only spoke to ask Adam for directions about the design and make some measurements, he seemed less sad and somewhat happy while working as an eye doctor, it seemed that this was his whim more than being a merchant.
Adam didn't know if it was because of his karma or because the bookshelf was an honest dealer, but the bookshelf ended up helping him design the glasses.
With great dexterity, some glasses were formed on the work table. When he finally finished, Adam could see his glasses, they were very similar to the ones that used to be seen on these floors: his body was made of gold, and he used two black crystals as lenses that hid Adam's eyes. The glasses had the phrase: 'Adam' engraved on one of their temples.
When he finished making them, the pebble person told him:
—These are your glasses, no one else will see with them. If you tell even one librarian about my shop, your eyes will be devoured by the glasses.
—Hey? But that wasn't part of the deal—Adam complained, very annoyed.
—It's a magical artifact, Adam—the person with pebbles replied, looking at him sadly—If you read a magical book and divulge its contents, the same thing happens. The secret is one of the most useful and simple conditions, it is rare not to see it applied in a magic item.
Adam didn't understand what he meant by the latter, but he took the glasses suspiciously, he didn't know if he should or put them on, but he had already paid for them, so he tried it on.
Adam put it on and felt the effects. The ground was completely white and endless overlapping footprints could be seen. However, the white floor did not bother Adam. In fact, he felt that his eye could catch fire, and it wouldn't bother him anyway, that was the effect of not being able to have the blindness activate.

—I don't see any clues— Adam said, looking at the pebble person for a long time.
—What's a clue? Looking for something that requires them?—The pebbled person answered looking at Adam looking around at his shop—You have to learn how to use them. Little by little you will learn its secrets.
Adam understood the point, it seemed that he didn't quite understand how to use them, the only thing he felt useful at the moment was the anti-blindness effect, if the white floor with overlapping footprints wasn't there he would be tiring his eyes all the time.
Seeing that Adam had already tried on his glasses, the pebble person began to unravel, his pebbles falling on the ground until he ended up disappearing.
Seeing that he already had what he was looking for, Adam left the store with his glasses, still not quite used to the white floor from the librarian's footsteps. But over time he would learn to live with these new colors.
Now Adam had to go to school, he was too late to buy the general knowledge books about good karma today.
The boy had not yet made the official celebration for having reached 100 pages, although his companions had not achieved the same, he had to continue advancing as quickly as possible according to the plans of his godfather and according to his own goals and his future ambitions.
Although, at 17 years old, Adam still didn't quite know what to do after getting the black robe from him, but he was still too early to think about such matters.

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

Stitches
When Lidiyana awoke, she wasn't alone. Instead, she returned to the world with Gareth - a man who tended to her after a horrific accident left her in a coma. He's strange, but also kind in his own way, helping her regain her memories and teaching her about their former relationship. However, as Lidiyana learns more about the world around her, things may not exactly be as they seem. Stitches is a fantasy web serial focusing on interpersonal drama, surreal horror and adventure. As a forewarning, it should be noted that Stitches is not for all audiences, as it heavily features various horror elements including some gore and body horror alongside minor elements of sexuality, nudity, drinking, etc. I know there are content warnings, but I did want to clarify exactly what's going on here. Stitches should update every Friday, barring exceptional circumstances.
