《Golden Valley [Español] [Terror/Misterio]》09-Golden Valley
Advertisement
Tras 12 horas marchando con su moto, realizando varias paradas para descansar y comer, Abel pudo divisar en la distancia la entrada de Golden Valley.
Como su nombre lo indica, Golden Valley era un pueblo ubicado en un valle rodeado de varias cadenas montañosas con abultada vegetación. El paisaje que rodeaba al pueblo era realmente hermoso dado a la vegetación en las montañas y los numerosos arroyos de agua cristalina que se encontraban por todo el lugar.
Pero el pueblo en sí mismo estaba en ruinas y era una ciudad fantasma donde muy pocas personas habitaban. La razón del abandono del pueblo es su lejanía con otras regiones urbanas y la falta de recursos útiles para explotar; la cadena montañosa era poco fértil y cultivarla a gran escala terminaba resultando más costosa que los productos que uno podía obtener al cultivarlas.
El motivo original por el cual surgió un pueblo en este valle poco apto para el cultivo es porque sobre el pueblo se encuentra la entrada a una antigua mina de oro; no obstante, hace tiempo el oro de la mina había sido extraído completamente por los habitantes del pueblo, provocando que el pueblo fuera quedando abandonado a medida que las nuevas generaciones de habitantes decidían marcharse a zonas más pobladas y con más trabajo.
No obstante, aún quedaban personas que decidían quedarse a vivir en el pueblo que no tenía electricidad, escuelas o desagües. La vida de estas personas era más sencilla y la gran mayoría de sus hijos probablemente se irían a vivir a otro lugar cuando crecieran.
Los ingresos de las personas que vivían en Golden Valley solían relacionarse con la ciudad fantasma y el atractivo de las montañas como zona turística, esto se debía a que el pueblo abandonado era considerado una reserva natural y un sitio histórico de este estado. Por lo que aún había muchas personas interesadas en cuidar el pueblo y sobre todo visitarlo.

Pero al ser una reserva natural y un sitio histórico, las nuevas construcciones que afecten el paisaje original de la ciudad estaban estrictamente prohibidas por el gobierno. Por lo que la mayoría de personas en este pueblo vivían en casas de piedra muy similares a las antiguas casas originales que se usaban en la época donde aún había oro en las minas.
El pueblo de Golden Valley tenía una superficie bastante irregular, por lo que algunas casas estaban más arriba y otras más abajo en el valle, varios arroyos cruzaban el pueblo y puentes de piedra podían hallarse por todos lados para cruzar de un lugar a otro. Si no fuera porque muchas casas estaban realmente descuidadas y llenas de vegetación, el sitio sería hermoso.
Aunque dicho descuido en las casas tenían mucho encanto para un grupo particular de personas, por ejemplo a Ana le encantaban. Lo cierto es que la parte más macabra del pueblo no está tanto en las estructuras corrompidas por el paso del tiempo, sino más bien en la historia inalterable del pueblo y ese era también el motivo por el que este sitio era considerado un lugar histórico para este estado.
Como solía pasar en dichas épocas, la gran mayoría de trabajadores en las minas eran esclavos, convictos e indígenas que fueron despojados de sus tierras y ahora estaban siendo obligados a destruirlas. Juntar a tantas personas llenas de odio y resentimiento hacia la vida en un mismo sitio terminaba provocando que muchísimas atrocidades fueran cometidas en este pueblo minero.
Pero lejos de mirar el pasado con vergüenza y tratar de ocultarlo, el estado busca preservar el pueblo y poner en exposición toda la tragedia cometida en Golden Valley. Para que así las generaciones futuras se vean obligadas a nunca olvidar el cruel pasado de este país y puedan comprometerse a nunca volver a realizar las idioteces que se cometieron en esas épocas oscuras.

Al fin y al cabo toda la belleza de estas hermosas casas de piedra, se debía al sacrificio de miles de personas que trabajaron en una mina hasta la muerte. Cada piedra de estas casas cuenta la historia de algún desgraciado que le tocó sufrir cargar su peso para formar este pintoresco pueblo del valle.
Abel se acercó con su moto al pueblo lo máximo que pudo, pero llegando a cierto punto apareció un cartel que indicaba que estaba prohibido entrar con vehículos al pueblo, por lo que tuvo que dejar su moto en un estacionamiento improvisado con maderas de los árboles caídos en la zona.
El estacionamiento estaba a unos cuantos minutos del pueblo en cuestión, por lo que había que caminar un buen rato por un sendero para poder llegar a la zona residencial.
—¿Soy el único turista?...—Comentó Abel, notando que no había un solo vehículo en el estacionamiento, además de su moto.
El hecho de ser el único turista, tampoco le sorprendió demasiado a Abel, ya que esta no era temporada turística; la mayoría de personas estaban trabajando y los niños estaban en el colegio. Además, esta zona turística no era muy visitada debido a que el pueblo más cercano estaba a 3 horas de viaje por la ruta y tener que realizar semejante viaje únicamente para recorrer un pueblo fantasma era demasiado para la mayoría de turistas.
Abel dejó su moto aparcada en el estacionamiento y se adentró en el sendero para buscar a un lugareño que lo ayudará como guía turístico.

Author's note: I love the idea of kingdom-building novels and think the genre has a lot to offer, but I don't think many authors do them very well. Here is my attempt. The novel has a strong focus on politics and kingdom building, with occasional action and a bit of humor. Have fun. Cover was made by MrZombie Updates three times a week.

(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
