E1-73-Mi camino en la vida...

Adam made his way to the cave's lake and observed his eyes; he was surprised by what he saw: they had lost their blue color and were now silver. But what struck the young boy the most was that the silver color in his eyes moved randomly around his pupils and sometimes even spilled out, making it look like he had liquid silver inside his eyes.

—You certainly have every reason to be puzzled...— said the eyeless old man, looking at Adam with suspicion —Your level of karma hasn't been seen on these floors for a long time. Unfortunately, that's how the current society of librarians is.

—Are they of any use?— Adam asked, curious about his reflection, trying to see if there was anything else abnormal in his eyes.

—Yes, that level of karma is indeed useful— replied the eyeless old man, seeming more cooperative than usual —You could say you went from having bright points in your eyes to having silver eyes. Generally, that doesn't happen because people use the bright points in their eyes to commit negative actions while still maintaining neutral karma.

—And why are these eyes useful?— Adam asked with enthusiasm.

—Ask your godfather or read books on general culture...— the eyeless old man responded. It seemed like she wasn't yet cooperative enough to keep answering questions —I'd like to help, but giving simple answers won't do any good. Besides, your silver eyes are related to a religion, so there's a secret preventing me from talking about it. Unfortunately, I am a magical bookshelf, so I'm not a shelf that helps heroes; I'm just a shelf that fancies heroes.

Understanding that the eyeless old man wouldn't reveal more information, Adam followed his advice and told his godfather about the situation.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

His godfather replied:

'I don't know much about good karma or the religion of 'The Heroes', but you can buy or find some books on general culture to know more details about it: But don't pay too much attention to the matter!!

You're too young to be interested in religions. Right now, the important thing is for you to go to the market and buy some glasses to cover your eyes; it's not convenient for others to know about your karma:

-If people see you're good: they'll take advantage of you.

-If people see you're bad: they'll make your life easier.

Do you remember the blue-faced bookshelf that used a mask? What expression did it have on its face?'

Adam thought for a while, but luckily, he remembered the bookshelves' faces well and replied:

'The blue-faced one had a sad expression.'

His godfather crossed out what Adam had written, as if trying to emphasize his point, and responded:

'That's another secret of the two-faced bookshelf, and it's a warning that says, 'Being good in this library will only bring you sadness'

But that's the right path for this stage of your life, boy... Or rather, that's the path you've been taking for these 14 years of life'

Adam ignored the fact that his godfather didn't remember his age and pondered on the topic. At this point in his life, it was natural for the young hero to be good, and it didn't make sense to consider stopping it. However, Adam was somewhat worried about his godfather's words: he didn't want other librarians to take advantage of his goodwill.

On the other hand, Adam wasn't too concerned about the difficulty of obtaining books that would give him more information about his new eyes. Books on general culture were not hard to come by, and he could ask some bookshelves for them in exchange for completing a simple task.

Another way to get them was at the market. These types of books were sold in the market's bookstores, and many people bought them because they were very useful for solving more complicated riddles and gaining access to better books.

For people like Adam, money was not an issue, so using the market to bypass the tasks offered by bookshelves that had these books was a better option. The same applied to food; it could also be obtained from bookshelves, but with money, one could skip those complications.
