How tough do you need to be to withstand life's storms? What would you do, if everything that you've worked so long and hard to achieve comes crumbling down within an hour? Presumably, when this happens in life, it takes great effort to overcome despair—even if this life is virtual. For the dwarf named Crow, virtual life is no less important than reality. This is because the game holds great meaning, currently known only to the hero of the story, while the listener can only make guesses.

At the foot of the foreboding Gray Peak lies a desolate valley. These are the backwoods of the world of Waldyra—they offer nothing valuable to players, who rarely visit as a result. Yet this is the very place where the calm and good-natured dwarf named Crow is headed. Straight after leaving the Creche, he hopes to make a living there. This hero does not crave epic battles with monsters. Quite the contrary. He wants to be a merchant and develop his blacksmithing skills, while staying far away from fighting, long voyages, and clan squabbles.

Son audios y frases independientes y, al mismo tiempo, relacionadas entre sí; que leyéndolas de corrido logran profundizar en un sentido y leyéndolas aisladas son, espero, delicados e interesantes aforismos.

Endlich hatte eine außerirdische Zivilisation die Erde erreicht. Der erste Kontakt hatte tatsächlich stattgefunden. Auf der Erde allerdings hielt man das Ganze für nichts weiter als einen schlechten Scherz. Noch weniger Menschen hatten begriffen, für welch kurze Zeitspanne unsere neuen Oberherren die Sicherheit unseres Planeten garantiert hatten. Am Ende ihrer Ansprache zeigten sie der Menschheit jedoch, wie man Zugriff auf ein mysteriöses Spiel erhielt. Der Zweck dieses Spiels ist unklar. Niemand kann sagen, wo sich dessen Server befinden, oder begreift, wie es funktioniert.

In this sensitive and probing book, Matthew Ichihashi Potts explores the complex moral terrain of forgiveness, which he claims has too often served as a salve to the conscience of power rather than as an instrument of healing or justice. Though forgiveness is often linked with reconciliation or the abatement of anger, Potts resists these associations, asserting instead that forgiveness is simply the refusal of retaliatory violence through practices of penitence and grief.
