《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》90

—Little is better than nothing—Adam replied with great joy, it seemed that talking so much with his godfather had been worth something, and today he had obtained very expensive information —A possible condition is languages. The more languages learned, the better rewards, the school only teaches languages and all the teachers learn languages like crazy.
—It makes a lot of sense—said the eyeless old man, it seemed that his head was elsewhere at this moment—a lot, but a lot of sense.
Adam followed the idea and thought even more carefully about the matter:
—Aquiles was 43, he mastered 3 languages and many times I saw him study a fourth. Clearly, he used his whole life to learn languages. The professors know the secret of the ascent to infinity, and can also lengthen their lives with the baron's rewards.
—Keep going, boy, I think you're getting to something important—the eyeless old man encouraged, trying to activate the boy's curiosity.
—Students are children—Adam thought with his eyes closed swimming through the water from time to time trying to make sense of the entire school—Because it is easier for them to become attached to their teachers and gather more love points. But there is a problem!
—What's the problem, boy?—asked the eyeless old man quickly and becoming more and more nervous. The boy was succeeding, he kept giving him useful information, and it was even easier for the one who was a bookshelf to tie the threads than it was for Adam. The old man knew that although this boy was only 17 years old, he was a beast that he managed to revive without knowing how to read. Only now did he realize how to properly use the boy he had raised for years.
—Achilles didn't seem to know about the Baron, and he was a professor—Adam replied hesitantly, —Because he wasted 43 years on just a rumor, he clearly had to trust someone to give him the rewards. Also, he didn't seem to seek the affection of the students, and the Baron told him so at the time.

—Did he have bad karma, Achilles?—asked the eyeless old man, thinking in his head of a possible answer to the secrecy of the baron's schools.
—No, he had neutral karma—Adam answered immediately, but then helped the bookshelf with the idea of him by adding:
—But the director sought to die with bad karma, he killed a few before ascending.
—Do you know any other teachers with bad karma, boy?—The eyeless old man asked, but he seemed even more worried than before, it seemed that the idea in his mind was getting more and more solid.
—Some had bad karma or seemed to have it, it was just the black spots—Adam answered, he didn't know in depth about positive karma, but he knew about negative karma from his godfather—My dad also had them, and he wasn't a bad person.
The eyeless old man looked him up and down and said forcefully:
—Never go to remove your black robe, I will give you one. Just hide the fact that you have mastered the language once you do, and never go back to that floor again when you learn the language.
—What?—Adam said in astonishment, his eyes widening and looking at the old man, but from his face it seemed he wasn't kidding.
—43 years, almost 4 languages. Think about it a bit— Said the old man without eyes, but fearing that the young man would not pay attention to him, he added:
—Karma is useful, yours is very rare these days. You are a big fish for your teachers and when you get the black robe they will be able to harvest you.
—No, it's impossible!—Adam yelled angrily.

Recovery: Ignis
My Name is Keiren. Keiren Ignis. At least that was what IT told me. Now all I have to do is figure out everything else. No simple task when you're an amnesiac. Honestly, why do I know these words and what they mean, but I have no idea who or even what I am. Except for what IT told me. IT is whatever is causing the wierd pop-up screens that appear in my vision when I think about certain things. Seems like I'm going to have to play by ITs rules until I get a better understanding of everything else. This is my first attempt at writing anything. To be honest I'm not 100% sure as to what direction this will take. GLHF It became sci-fi. There will probably be a romantic subplot at some point. There will be some implied sexual content, but nothing more explicit than kissing will be written. Will try to release at least one chapter a week, but there could be none, or possibly 3 or 4.

The Rowan Fox, Tail 1: The Missing Children
Deep in the Maple Woods sits a mountain of old. Humans have claimed it and today a city called Redlog covers it from peak to foot. Meet Josei, one of many medicine makers living in the city of red roofs. Hers is the start of many tales, home to a very special fox. Like foxes often do, this one finds himself plenty of trouble. (Thought I would be gone forever did you? I'm back again! This time with a book that actually has an ending. I know because I've written it. I will be editing each chapter then releasing it here as they're done, probably once or twice a week. It's a shorter tale than what I've written before but that was the goal from the start. I really need to learn how to finish a story so this was a big accomplishment for me. I'll be writing The Rowan Fox in several parts instead, short but hopefully sweet.) (This story is a combination of some of my favorite things: folktales, foxes, ancient forests, and feel good slice of life. I hope you like it!)
