《El Infierno de Dante - Español》35-Arbustos
Advertisement
Dante siguió tomando su bebida con tranquilidad y felicidad, olvidándose de sus problemas actuales y el lugar donde se encontraba. Cuando quiso recordar, el anciano se había quedado dormido en las escaleras de madera de la cabaña. Pasó un tiempo durmiendo y con algo de aturdimiento, Dante abrió los ojos y despertó en un pequeño túnel de tierra iluminado por flores blancas.
—¡Qué mierda ocurrió ahora!—Maldijo Dante mientras se ponía a gatear nuevamente por el túnel.
En el camino Dante trató de recordar como murió, pero solo recordaba haber bebido ese extraño trago azulado, probablemente el trago estaba envenenado por lo que terminó muriendo. Aunque al menos ahora, Dante se sentía con un humor un poco más agradable y con más energías; por lo que el trago había sido de utilidad.
Al salir del túnel, Dante se encontró con que estaba en el medio del bosque. Algo aturdido por la salida extraña, el viejo grito:
—¡Kacper! ¡¿Dónde estás, Kacper?!
—¡Por acá!—Contestó el guardabosques desde atrás de unos arbustos.
Dante atravesó los arbustos con cuidado y se encontró con que la elegante criatura estaba sosteniendo una lámpara de aceite mientras miraba desde la distancia un cadáver lleno de tumores morados.
—¿Qué pasó? ¿Por qué morí?—preguntó Dante mirando su cadáver en la distancia.
—¿Ves la bolsa que carga tu cadáver en su cintura?—Pregunto Kacper—Ahí guardaste los frutos que buscamos, estabas completamente drogado, así que puede ser que no lo recuerdes.
Dante miró con atención su cadáver y encontró que había una bolsa negra en su cintura. Luego el viejo alzó la mirada y descubrió que su cadáver estaba atorado en un arbusto con hojas rojas y con espinas de color amarillo.
El arbusto era bastante bonito y por sus ramas crecían unos frutos de color amarillento similares a unas canicas. Dichas canicas debían ser los frutos que el cadáver estuvo recolectando.

Al ver la situación, Dante preguntó:
—¿Tengo que evitar que me pinchen las espinas y sacar la bolsa de la cintura del cadáver?
Kacper busco en el bolsillo de su traje y le entregó una hoja de árbol anaranjada a Dante, acto seguido el guardabosques respondió:
—No, con sólo aproximarse a las ramas del arbusto estás muerto, para evitar el dolor tienes que drogarte chupando esa hoja y luego aprovechar los dos minutos que tienes de vida para llenar la bolsa y alejarla del arbusto.
—Supongo que tendré que morir otra vez…—Comentó Dante con hastío, mientras chupaba la hoja anaranjada.
La hoja tenía un sabor horrible, similar al metal. No obstante, no pasó mucho tiempo para que Dante notara que no podía sentir el tacto. Para el viejo era bastante extraño caminar sin poder sentir que tus pies tocaran la tierra.
Dante se acercó a su cadáver y tomó la bolsa con velocidad, luego el viejo continuó llenando la bolsa mientras trataba de ignorar como aparecían tumores violetas por su cuerpo.
Cuando Dante terminó de llenar la bolsa, la tiró hacia los pies de Kacper. Acto seguido, el viejo cayó sin vida al suelo.
Kacper tomó la bolsa con una sonrisa y la guardó con cuidado en su traje, luego miró con atención como Dante lo miraba con aturdimiento.
—¿Supongo que ya podrías decirme como irme?—Comentó Dante.
—Sí, sígueme y te llevaré al árbol en donde se encuentran las escaleras—Comentó Kacper ansioso por deshacerse del observador.
Dante vio como el guardabosques se daba la vuelta y comenzaba a caminar por el bosque.
El viejo vio la lámpara de aceite al lado del primer cadáver atorado en el arbusto. La lámpara se había apagado al caer, pero Dante debería ir a recogerla para volver a prenderla y ver en el bosque oscuro. No obstante, el viejo se negaba a morir otra vez para recuperar su lámpara, por lo que termino siguiendo a Kacper para no quedar en completa oscuridad.

"Humanity is on the cusp of their Great Expansion. It will be the first time in history that they’ve reached beyond their own solar system in an attempt to colonize the galaxy. Or, at least, so they thought. Peeling back the veil of time, The Empire of Sol has uncovered vestiges of a secret genetic program on the far flung planet of Hod. The advent of the Empire’s ancient enemy could upset the careful balance of power throughout in the Sol System. When Hod is invaded by the Empire, Andros Aeton is pressed into their service and his people are held hostage. Unbeknownst to him, factions within the Empire vie to use him to their own ends. He must claim his heritage if he has any hope of escaping the clutches of the forces that seek to use him." This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

If you do not have the financial means to purchase the books, then you may DM me on discord through my discord channel for a pdf version of the books. This is the first book I ever started out of my four current ongoing stories. This story has been edited through nearly a dozen times since the majority of the reviews, so take that in mind if you read through the reviews. This is a LitRPG and cultivation-based novel where the two are interlinked and the characters have to reach a certain degree of cultivation and a certain level in order to break through into the next tier. I tend to make a lot of maps for this book. I hope that you all enjoy my novel, and feel free to comment on any issues or errors you may notice. My Discord Server Top Web Novel Link
