Caos (La Biblioteca de lo Profano 1 #1)
by Jb TrepagnierLa Biblioteca de lo Profano tiene todo lo que tu corazón negro desea. Pero no permitimos que cualquiera obtenga una tarjeta de biblioteca. ¿Necesitas invocar a un demonio? ¿Levantar a los muertos? ¿Un clan de vampiros te molesta? ¿Te gusta la erótica de hombres lobo realmente desagradable? La Biblioteca de lo Profano tiene todo eso, pero no todo el mundo puede manejar su contenido (algunas personas no pueden manejar su erótica de hombres lobo). He sido bibliotecario aquí durante cinco años y cuando digo que maté para conseguir este trabajo, no estoy siendo bromista. No puedes sacar nuestros libros. Algunos de los libros son sensibles y no les gusta. Tenemos salas para realizar los hechizos o demonios, tenemos una fotocopiadora (las copias son extra). Cuando una bruja vino y dijo que necesitaba hacer un poco de nigromancia, no lo cuestioné. No se les habría dado el carné de la biblioteca si fueran a resucitar a alguien realmente malo. Ayudé con la nigromancia porque es mi trabajo como bibliotecaria. Excepto que no era una resurrección normal. Era la encarnación física del Caos y cuando despertó, me vio primero y ahora está pegado. El Caos personificado es un huésped horrible de la biblioteca y no se va con la bruja que lo crió. Se mete constantemente en cosas que no debe y está muy metido en la erótica de los hombres lobo. No puedo dejarlo salir porque la Biblioteca de lo Profano está destinada a contener el Caos. El resto del mundo no lo es. También es muy malo para mantener su identidad en secreto. Un brujo, un sabueso infernal y un vampiro saben que está aquí y me están molestando para que deje que el Caos se divierta un poco. Sólo quiero un día normal de invocar demonios, maldecir a la gente y decirle a la gente que se calle en mi biblioteca. Esto es demasiado.
Caos: Un Romanzo Paranormale ad Harem Inverso (La Biblioteca del Profano #1)
by Jb TrepagnierLa Biblioteca del Profano ha tutto quello che il tuo cuore oscuro desidera. Ma non tutti possono ottenere la tessera della biblioteca. Hai bisogno di invocare un demone? Risvegliare i morti? Un clan di vampiri ti importuna? Fan della letteratura erotica dove ci sono dei lupi mannari cattivi? La Biblioteca del Profano offre tutto questo, ma non tutti riescono a gestire i suoi contenuti (alcuni non riescono a gestire la letteratura erotica licantropica). Sono cinque anni che faccio la bibliotecaria qui, e quando dico che ho ucciso per questo lavoro, non è una battuta. Non puoi prendere in prestito i nostri libri. Alcuni tra questi hanno una coscienza e non vogliono. Abbiamo stanze dove compiere gli incantesimi, e abbiamo anche una fotocopiatrice (le copie sono extra). Quando è arrivata una strega e ha detto di aver bisogno di praticare un po’ di necromanzia, non ho fatto domande. Non avrebbe una tessera della biblioteca se avesse cattive intenzioni, come risvegliare qualcuno di terribile. L’ho aiutata con la necromanzia perché è quello che devo fare in quanto bibliotecaria. Solo che non si trattava di una resurrezione ordinaria. Era l’incarnazione fisica di Caos. Quando si è risvegliato, sono stata io la prima cosa che ha visto, e ora si sente legato a me. Caos fatto persona è un cliente tremendo, e non vuole andarsene con la strega che lo ha risvegliato. È sempre impegnato a mettere il naso in cose in cui non dovrebbe, e va matto per la letteratura erotica licantropica. Non posso nemmeno lasciarlo uscire perché la Biblioteca del Profano è pensata per contenere il Caos. Il resto del mondo no. Inoltre, fa schifo a tenere segreta la sua identità. Uno stregone, un Mastino Infernale e un vampiro sanno che si trova qui, e mi stressano per lasciarlo divertire un po’. Voglio solo passare una giornata normale a invocare demoni, maledire persone e dire a tutti di stare zitti nella mia biblioteca. Così è troppo.<
