Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 - The Useless.

From a cloud, a beautiful woman watches with excitement the distant figure of a man walking down an arid trail in the Texas desert.

"That's my champion, just a little bit and our game is about to start, our great game !!!" The woman smiled with a look of delight on her face.

Not having the slightest idea that he was being watched, Tyler Newman walked quietly along the trail just wanting to reach the mountain before him before sunset, the terrain he was in was a family heirloom for generations, now 70 years old he needed to get rid of him, and the incredible reason it seems, was to start a college!

Tyler's story was really impressive or disappointing depending on the point of view where you faced the situation, all his life he did nothing but study, literally ... He had incredible 11 graduations, but incredibly never worked seriously in any area specific.

Explaining his life better, he was born in a very stable home, his father owned a small metallurgical and his mother took care of the home. Since he was a young man he was always very dedicated to his studies, he really took great pleasure in studying, so he completed high school with praise and won a scholarship to study medicine at one of the most renowned American universities.

As soon as he finished his residency as a general practitioner the Vietnam War reached its peak, he does not know if it was the heat of the moment or a sense of patriotic duty and enlisted, contrary to expectations chose to serve on the front lines.

At the beginning of his training he suffered bullying from his companions several times, they could not understand why someone who had just graduated in medicine would get into a jungle on the other side of the world, at some point neither his superiors understood, "If wants to help even this country serve in the military hospital, we already have many nail heads to shoot in that jungle! "They said, but in the end he was accepted by his companions and superiors.

At the end of his stay, he decided to return to America, after only ten days at home his parents had a terrible car accident, his father died at the scene, although his mother still resisted a little hospitalized, Tyler had only time to see her on the bed and say goodbye, her voice choking with pain she said. "Ty ... I'm sorry ... But I think I'll leave ... you have to be well ... have to be happy ... be happy ... try to be happy no matter what happens ... I ... te ... am ..." Before even completing the sentence she as he said, he left.

Feeling greatly the loss of his parents, he went into a deep depression, stayed in his room for more than a week, only left because he needed to solve some bureaucratic matters in the company, metallurgical Newman was a small but well stabilized business founded by his father when he was still young, during the second war they did everything from guns, ammunition to parts to cars and planes, so when he started to grow he called his best friend to work together, a situation that lasted until that date where he was the manager and right arm.

Bob. "Ty, are you better? Have you eaten?"The man asked, his face full of sincere concern.

Tyler lying said, "I'm a little better uncle. "

"How are things here? I came today to solve the latest inheritance paperwork. "He spoke in a monotone.

Bob. "Although his father make a huge mistake, the company is well, we are selling well and fulfilled all the deadlines, you come to take? "

Tyler. "I think so, although I do not understand anything! "He admitted weakly.

Bob. "Now do not be like this, remember that I was here with your father, may God have it ... I've been here from the beginning, it will be my great pleasure to teach you everything I know, you do not know that you are like a son to me? "

Tyler did not doubt any word from that man, he slowly got up and tried to forget the pain.The business itself was relatively simple, his father had closed good contracts with some auto companies and outsourced some parts, mostly engines. He stayed there for six months and with Bob had learned everything, all the processes and tasks were already clearly understood by him. But whenever he laid his head on the pillow he remembered his mother's words on the deathbed. Be happy, she said.Many feelings were around his heart, but happiness was not one of these. Thinking about all of this he decided that morning.

Early in the morning he called Bob at the office. "Uncle, I must confess something to you, I have been restless all this time, even working here and learning the company's services I do not feel at ease. "

"So what do you want to do? "Bob asked worriedly.

"My mother's last words were about me being happy and looking for happiness, I was thinking about enrolling in the mechanical engineering course, I spend some time clearing my mind and when I get back maybe I can manage the firm well and maybe bring new ones ideas. "

"Good boy, good boy, if that's what I want, I'll support you, you know things are going well here, you can go study quietly! "Bob spoke a little more relieved, he had realized how Tyler had been sad these last few months, beyond what he was the son of his best friend and would try to take care of him as if it were his.

Tyler packed up his things and moved in the same week, not having to worry about how to keep himself, just studying day and night, that was the only thing he did, he might even think it was difficult or even stressful, yet he did not He found this, in fact he had a real pleasure in it all, so much so that whenever there was any course on the Tyler campus he was there.Guitar, piano, karate, judo, magic, carpentry, confectionery, etc. Any course in any area.When his course ended he spoke to Bob and said he wanted to try another course this time in chemical engineering, Bob gave him all the support.

And so he continued his life, course after course, after a while he did not make any more excuses saying that he would return home, Bob had already noticed a lot already and had already settled the situation in the company training a new manager to replace him when he died .

And so the years went by and graduations were coming, 11 of them. Medicine, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Biology, Botany, Geology, Agronomy, History and Economics.The languages ​​he spoke were nine, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Mandarin and Latin (he still does not understand why he lost his time learning a dead language!)

Clak ... Clak ... Clak ...

Just listening to the sound of his footsteps on the gravel Tyler was looking up, the trail itself was quite gentle following directly to a large cave almost on top of the mountain.When he finally reached it, he was truly impressed by its size, only its opening was fifteen meters high, and inside was an extremely large and spacious cathedral, which, now dark, could not see its end.

Tyler set up his tent and made a campfire, stared at the clear, starry sky of the desert, look at such a sky always makes a man think, without wife, no children and no legacy, just a wall full of diplomas, after a time he just tossed them loosely into the drawers. Bob died for years, he had in the end been his second father, always visited at parties and on Thanksgiving.The manager Bob had chosen to make small deviations from the company, Tyler was not very upbeat after the death of his "last relative" decided to close the firm.

'Astronomy!!' He thought animatedly looking at that sky, I only have a few small courses in that area, I can learn a lot! As if he had renewed his strength, he began to whistle as he fried some sausages at the fire.

Rumble !!! Rumble !!!

The bottom of the cave began to tremble intensely, startling Tyler, after a while the tremor ceased, and a few seconds later a breath of fresh air came from the bottom of the cave.That frightened him and aroused his curiosity, he took a flashlight; put on his cloak and in the other hand held his Magnum 44, he was Texan after all and a good Texan takes his gun to go piss!

He walked for a long time, the beam of light emitted by his flashlight disappeared in that dark expanse, his true guide there was the fresh wind from inside the cave, after walking for about three kilometers the cave narrowed in an arc similar to that of the entrance, after passing it he entered a chamber equal to the previous one, walking almost the same so much he saw a little white light and walked towards her, the more he walked, the more it increased in brightness and size!

When he got the vision he had it made him lose his breath and fall on his knees ...
