The Fractured Blade

The world was broken long before the Rupture tore the sky apart and unleashed its shadows. Kael Moren, a warrior gifted with the rare ability to wield both magic and steel, once believed in the Order of the Veil—a brotherhood sworn to protect the balance of the world. But the Order is gone, betrayed from within, and the balance shattered. Now, Kael is a reluctant protector to a handful of survivors, haunted by a truth he cannot ignore: the cataclysm that destroyed his home was no accident. The Rupture was the Order's desperate attempt to save a dying world, a choice that unleashed darkness far beyond their control. Among the chaos stands Eren, Kael’s former friend and fellow warrior, now a man twisted by the shadows he once fought against. Eren’s plans are as dangerous as they are mysterious, and Kael must face the possibility that his old friend may hold the key to understanding the Rupture—and stopping it. With his cursed sword Veyrune draining his strength and the weight of broken trust heavy on his shoulders, Kael leads his group of survivors toward Veyland, a city rumored to hold remnants of the Order’s forgotten knowledge. But each step closer to the truth reveals a darker reality: the world may not be worth saving, and the shadows consuming it may be only the beginning. Caught between loyalty to a broken past and the harsh truths of an uncertain future, Kael must decide whether redemption is possible—or if the only way to end the cycle of destruction is to become what he fears most.

Indigno de ser humano

«Por lo general, las personas no muestran lo terribles que son. Pero son como una vaca pastando tranquila que, de repente, levanta la cola y descarga un latigazo sobre el tábano. Basta que se dé la ocasión para que muestren su horrenda naturaleza. Recuerdo que se me llegaba a erizar el cabello de terror al pensar en que este carácter innato es una condición esencial para que el ser humano sobreviva. Al pensarlo, perdía cualquier esperanza sobre la humanidad». Publicada por primera vez en 1948, «Indigno de ser humano» es una de las novelas más célebres de la literatura japonesa contemporánea. Su polémico y brillante autor, Osamu Dazai, incorporó numerosos episodios de su turbulenta vida a los tres cuadernos que conforman esta novela y que narran, en primera persona y de forma descarnada, el progresivo declive como ser humano de Yozo, joven estudiante de provincias que lleva una vida disoluta en Tokio. Repudiado por su familia tras un intento de suicidio e incapaz de vivir en armonía con sus hipócritas semejantes, Yozo malvive como dibujante de historietas y subsiste gracias a la ayuda de mujeres que se enamoran de él pese a su alcoholismo y adicción a la morfina. Sin embargo, tras el despiadado retrato que Yozo hace de su vida, Dazai cambia repentinamente de punto de vista y nos muestra, mediante la voz de una de las mujeres con las que Yozo convivió, una semblanza muy distinta del trágico protagonista de esta perturbadora historia. «Indigno de ser humano» se ha convertido, con el paso de los años, en una de las obras más populares de la literatura japonesa, superando los diez millones de ejemplares vendidos desde su primera publicación en 1948.

Journeymen: Wandering Summons in the Apocalypse (Discontinued)

"The Empire doesn't need you! Begone!" Rejected by their respective summoning cities, seven heroes form Journeymen, a whimsical society which aims to traverse across the land in search of the elusive Ice Emperor. * * * * The story begins with the Journeymen's scribe, Seikishi Murasakibara─an impulsive vampire who turns suicidal after reading Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human. Before being summoned and hailed the hero of Grandise Kingdom, he thinks his life is bland to the death: he feels imperfect that the only cause he comes up with is the "lack of adventure" in his rather peaceful world. "If I die, would I be reincarnated as a human?" As a test, he walks out into the summer sun and when the world grants his unconscious and destructive wish, he suddenly realizes how the world is unkind towards all lives and that he must once again evaporate under the sun. The hindrance to this plan is─the whole world is frozen and the sun has never peeked for years in resignation to the Snow Emperor's reign or terror. He must defeat the supervillain in order to die again, but he's unable to accept the ideologies of the kingdom: he rebels against his benefactors to the point he is branded a traitor. Then having underestimated the military might of Grandise Kingdom, he runs for his life across the frigid lands... by some strange coincidence, he is found by the seven Journeymen whose on their way to take the Snow Emperor's head. * * * * JOURNEYMEN: WANDERING SUMMONS IN THE APOCALYPSE Written by Screaming Coffee
