Chapter 31
Harpy materialized just in time to take off and prevent me from crashing to the ground. I thanked him and he squawked with delight.I thought for a moment about what options I had, and in all of them I wondered why the hell I hadn't taken off with Gina and Dagon. I came to the conclusion that, when faced with difficult situations, nothing better than doing things in a big way."Thank you, Harpy!" I said as I jumped to the foot of the ridge the Allsionistas were beginning to climb. The rest of the place was abuzz with adventurers fighting against each other; the heartbreaking music of a war that threatened to take away thousands of travelers.I landed on the ground, cracks opening up under my feet. The extra strength was amazing. Although there was no time to throw flowers, because I was immediately surrounded by Allsionista with a thirst for blood."He's one of the leader's bodyguards!" shouted an Afronist. Let one group go up and finish off the other!"Nobody's going to get past here

The remaining Kurayami members in the clearing near the hillside managed to dispatch the last remaining Allsionistas. They let those who didn't put up a fight flee, and created a security fence so that Greek, Robert, and I could leave combat mode behind and travel to the planet where Gina had gone to meet Adam Leproiner.Robert didn't want to tell us because it was top secret. It was an unbreakable rule that no one was informed of the travels of Gina, the second in command after the leader, according to Robert.Gina was too smart and controlled Kurayami from the shadows. He managed to have complete freedom while millions of supporters of the cause did his dirty work. From an ethical point of view, I didn't know if it was worthy of praise, but it had a lot of merit.While we waited, Robert did not stop talking about her. I had her idealized. He didn't even realize that he was giving him as much or more importance than the leader, of whom he said nothing. It was so absurd that he hadn't

The show had started. From the very center of the garden a gate opened, lifting an enormous base of operations skyward. Many seated people appeared, around twenty of them, and they kept hammering their holographic keyboards while exchanging impressions. It seemed that nothing that happened around them was with them and not even ascending to the top of Neo Terra prevented them from distracting themselves from their work."This is my boys," Leproiner said, gesturing toward the platform. They are the team of hackers that will take us directly to the New World.The platform finished moving and was just above our heads, in full view of all the other guests. A large metal spiral staircase then unfolded, inviting Leproiner to join his hackers."I'll be with you right away," said the tycoon, joking with his guests.The wealthy Allzionists applauded their leader, whose graceful walk didn't break down even as he climbed the steps that led him to change the world.I didn't know what to do, but I

It didn't take anything more to say to find my back sagging as I was forced to dodge his fist. It was heading straight for my face with excruciating speed, without hesitation or condescension. I barely managed to parry the second blow, a kick to my side that smashed into an arm that came up automatically. She spun around and swept me with her legs, and I fell to the ground on my back and was upright, but she had done it before and I didn't see the soles of her ninja shoes coming. He threw me back ten feet and as I stopped I felt my mouth taste of blood. I had no choice but to spit and watch the weeds under my feet turn red; it was hard to believe that at this point in the movie Fire had not yet come to my aid.The beast was right behind Gina, crouching, its face shadowed with rage, its fangs bared, its fur bristling so bristly it seemed like thousands of volts were running through its body. Fire was caught in Gina's Binding , so I was forced to cancel the summon.It was no coincidence

"Family is not chosen," I commented without really knowing why. Sometimes friends are more faithful."That's right," he replied. But not the Leproiner family.It was so superb that I thought I'd summon Rexie to eat it in one bite."The Leproiner family is very close... because of the account that brings them," he said, smiling.Adam Leproiner had to lead it with an iron hand. What would he not do to his own family seeing how he treated the Allsionistas who revered him so much."I don't care about your family," I replied. You are the root of all problems."What are you going to do now, kid?" he asked with a smug half smile. You have postponed the data dump. I must admit that I didn't expect something like this to happen, but my hackfronists will continue the work. It won't be today, maybe not tomorrow either, but it won't be long before they take us to the New World.There were two possibilities: kill Leproiner on the spot and send him back to reality, or wait for his hackers to take u

After the storm came the calm, they used to say.Whoever came up with the phrase didn't have to put up with Gina's string of curse words when I finished explaining everything that happened to her about Adam Leproiner: from our talk about his plans to the information about his family's legendary paths and even his abrupt and mysterious death at the hands of a shadow. The latter, not happy with the murder of the tycoon, also wanted to kill me. And he almost did it except for the brilliant idea of throwing me down the stairs.Actually, I didn't know if it was chasing me or it was my lucubrations, but I didn't get rid of the feeling until I landed on my legs after a long fall.I had to lie down on the grass while Gina put me in the broth to relax my muscles. I didn't care that Neo Terra's eternal rain was soaking me to the bone."So that bastard is dead, huh?" It wasn't a question, it was already the fourth or fifth time Gina had repeated it."And Greek and Dagon?" “I asked for.“They are

Two weeks after coming back to reality my body was still in shit. He was stronger, yes, but he was far from an athlete; the physique improved and there was no trace of that extreme thinness that had scared me so much. I was lucky that my mother had left in the fridge foods that help regenerate muscle tone and body fat, products of the Leproiner empire.London was not a pretty city, it had lost the light that had once made it a cultural beacon of ancient Europe. Now it was a mere vestige of the past reduced to dust and stone, struggling to be reborn from its ashes.The world population had been drastically reduced and the birth rate had fallen in recent years, but hope was the last thing that was lost.And if the human being knew anything, it was about prevailing in the face of adversity.According to the latest news, the birth rate had finally increased, coinciding with the advent of the New World. It was the first time, in more than a decade, that such a brutal increase in birth rate

I spent the night as I could. Reluctant to lie down on that mat, sleep finally overcame me. Lucky not to have needed blankets; he preferred not to imagine what summers would be like there.My body rested, but my mind returned to Allsium, like every night. To a virtuality to which he no longer gave too much importance; reality was much more relevant at that time due to the imminent danger that the group was running. Even so, I found out about the worlds to which an adventurer could travel to train without running too much danger, something that in illegality was already a lot to ask.There was a world in Allsium where survival depended on hand”to”hand combat. It was a system similar to Nirn, although it was not infested with spiders and beasts accustomed to the polar cold, but with knights on the warpath. A world created by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski for his heroic fantasy novels: The Saga of Geralt of Rivia . A classic that was adapted to the video game in numerous editions, all

I went up the stairs to the third floor, took a look around, and saw that there was only one closed door. He was nervous, it was the first time he was going to see Dagon in reality, something he didn't expect to do so early.And less in such complicated circumstances.I knocked on the door a couple of times and, as expected, no one answered. Dagon already spent every day online in Allsium since he had stopped working at the restaurant “ Els Fogons ”. I hit the door with my shoulder a couple of times, but when it wouldn't budge I kicked it down.I entered the hall, two steps later I found myself in the living room. In the background hung a huge painting of the macro”capital Barcelona made by a drone from above, a spectacular image that made him understand the smallness of the human being. Dagon's flat was tidy, clean and very airy, there was hardly anything to hinder my step. The complete opposite of my house, which was more of a minefield.I went to what seemed to be his room and I fo

Chapter 40
Dagon had tried to tell me what they were doing in Allsium, but I didn't listen. I didn't want him to understand, but I wanted him to respect the decision he had made. And so he did; there was no one like him when it came to putting himself in someone else's shoes.Nor did I tell him what I did in Allsium at night, during the time we spent staying in some abandoned apartment in the suburbs of the macro”capital. The plan was to reach the coast and travel by sea to the most important port in Italy, which was none other than Genoa. Air traffic had been prohibited for years, so maritime transport had resumed its golden age. Fleets of dream ships traveling at high speed from one port to another. Even so, since the borders had only recently been opened, not everyone was welcome in foreign countries.Although if it was done with a good wad of bills the thing used to be channeled.No more ships would set sail for three days, for we had arrived just as the last one left in the morning. It was
