Tales of Xibalbá

Hello everyone, I am the narrator, we are going to embark on a journey together; first of all we are going to describe the world where our stories will take place; but for that you must know a key word of our universe. Plasma.... A substance that for many only represents about 50% of the composition of the blood in our bodies, but here in Xibalba it represents... everything. There are 4 different types of Plasma with which any living being can be born and from this, if you are blessed, you can become an incomparable existence in the world but if you are cursed you can lose your humanity. Depending on the Plasma with which you are born you could develop certain abilities that allow you to manifest certain skills, the division is: Physical or Body Plasma: It allows you to change certain properties of your body, either form, composition or both but all this happens inside your body or on the surface. Who knows, you could be born with an intelligence never seen before... Or be able to transform into a dragon or maybe your only ability is to grow your toenails. Energy Plasma: Allows you to interact, control and even create certain forms of energy, so to speak is magic but at the same time is not limited by spells (Or maybe yes). You could control the 5 elements, you could manage some space-time or maybe you can just make your body glow in the dark. Organic Plasma: This is a special type of plasma that allows you to interact and influence other living entities. Maybe you can summon the dead, you could be a natural born beast tamer. merge with a dragon? Piece of cake.... if you are born with the ability. Otherwise you might only be able to talk to flies. Mutant Plasma: A certain type of plasma with mysterious properties, many of Xibalba's most legendary existences have this type of plasma... Will it be as incredible as the stories tell? Let's find out together. Did you think that's all? It's not that simple my friend, remember that all living beings in the world have plasma... Rare plants? nightmarish creatures? endless wars for incredible treasures? When they say imagination is the limit they surely mean our adventure. Did you think that's all? Since the living entities of our world will be so strong.... Why not give them a big and challenging enough world? Danger zones with impossible and extreme climates? Done heavenly minerals, natural wonders you've only seen in your dreams, unexplored areas so dangerous that no one knows what's inside? Done. Hidden dimensions and passages to other worlds? Done. References to mythologies, legends and ancient tales? Done

Hola a todos, yo soy el narrador, vamos a embarcarnos en un viaje juntos; primero que nada vamos a describir el mundo donde ocurrirán nuestras historias; pero para eso deben conocer una palabra clave de nuestro universo. Plasma.... Una sustancia que para muchos solo representa el alrededor del 50% de la composición de la sangre de nuestros cuerpos, pero aquí en Xibalbá representa... todo. Existen 4 diferentes tipos de Plasma con las que cualquier ser vivo puede nacer y a partir de esto, si eres bendecido, puedes volverte una existencia incomparable en el mundo pero si eres maldecido puedes perder tu humanidad. Dependiendo del Plasma con el que nazcas podrías desarrollar ciertas habilidades que te permitan manifestar ciertas habilidades, la división es: Plasma físico o corporal: Te permite cambiar ciertas propiedades de tu cuerpo, ya sea forma, composición o ambas pero todo esto sucede dentro de tu cuerpo o en la superficie. Quien sabe, podrías nacer con una inteligencia nunca vista... O poder transformarte en un dragón o quizá tu única habilidad sea hacer crecer las uñas de tus pies. Plasma energético: Te permite interactuar, controlar e incluso crear ciertas formas de energía, por decirlo de alguna forma es magia pero a la ves no esta limitado por conjuros(O tal ves sí). Podrías controlar los 5 elementos, podrías manejar alguna les espacio-temporal o quizá solo puedas hacer que tu cuerpo brille en la oscuridad. Plasma orgánico: Es un tipo de plasma especial que te permite interactuar e influir con otras entidades vidas. Quizá puedas invocar a los muertos, podrías ser un domador nato de bestias. ¿Fusionarte con un dragón? Pan comido.... si naces con la habilidad. De lo contrario quizá solo seas capaz de hablar con las moscas. Plasma mutante: Cierto tipo de plasma con propiedades misteriosas, muchas de las existencias más legendarias de Xibalbá tienen este tipo de plasma... ¿Será tan increíble como cuentan las historias? Vamos a averiguarlo juntos. Haa... ¿creías que solo eso? No es tan sencillo amigo, recuerda que todos los seres vivos en el mundo tienen plasma... ¿Plantas raras?¿Criaturas de pesadilla? ¿Guerras interminiábles por tesoros increíbles? Cuando se dice que la imaginación es el límite de seguro se refieren a nuestra aventura. Pero, ¿Creías que solo eso? Ya que las entidades vivas de nuestro mundo serán tan fuertes.... ¿Por que no darles un mundo suficientemente grande y desafiante? ¿Zonas de peligro con climas imposibles y extremos? Hecho. ¿Minerales celestiales, maravillas naturales que solo has visto en tus sueños, zonas inexploradas tan peligrosas que nadie sabe lo que hay dentro? Hecho. ¿Dimensiones ocultas y pasajes a otros mundos? Hecho. ¿Referencias a mitologías, leyendas y cuentos antiguos? Hecho Se que es algo tedioso este capítulo 0 pero es necesario para entender ciertos aspectos de la magnitud del mundo y la avaricia que he tenido al querer escribir algo así y que dure más de 10 capítulos. No quiero Spoilear más pero todo tendrá un sistema de "rangos" definido por así decirlo, hay dos cosas que quiero aclarar, las dos cosas más importantes son "El grado del plasma" Es decir, que tanto potencial tiene para ser más poderoso y la "Concentración del plasma" En nuestro mundo el plasma representa solo el 1% de la sangre al nacer..... ¿Qué pasará cuando llegue al 100%? ¿Incluso más? Ahora, si llegaron hasta aquí quiero agradecerles por tomarse el tiempo de leer y notificarles que estaré haciendo una sección de Q&A en cada capítulo. ¡Nos leemos pronto!

What are the best Ballard stories?
One of the best Ballard stories could be 'Crash'. It's a really thought - provoking piece that delves into the relationship between technology, sexuality, and the human psyche. The way Ballard describes the characters' obsessions with car crashes and the underlying sexual undertones is both disturbing and fascinating.

What are the characteristics of JG Ballard's best stories?
His stories often have a sense of the surreal. They are set in strange, often dystopian worlds that seem just a step away from our own reality. For example, in 'The Drowned World', the flooded Earth is not too far - fetched considering current climate change trends.

What are the best Ballard novels?
I also recommend 'The Drowned World'. This novel is set in a future where the Earth is being flooded due to rising sea levels. Ballard creates a vivid and immersive post - apocalyptic world, exploring how humans adapt (or fail to adapt) to extreme environmental change.

Can you recommend some of the best Ballard stories for a beginner?
For a beginner, 'The Terminal Beach' is a great start. It's relatively short but packs a punch. It's set on an abandoned atomic test site and the sense of isolation and the remnants of a once - powerful technology are really well - depicted.

Which Ballard novels are considered the best?
In my opinion, 'Super - Cannes' is among the top Ballard novels. It looks at the dark side of a seemingly idyllic corporate - dominated city. It delves into themes of excess, violence, and the breakdown of social norms in a place that should be utopian but is far from it.

What is the best JG Ballard novel?
Another strong contender for the best JG Ballard novel is 'High - Rise'. It's set in a self - contained high - rise building where the social order gradually breaks down. Ballard examines human nature, class differences, and the thin veneer of civilization, creating a dark and dystopian vision that's both fascinating and terrifying.

What makes JG Ballard's best short stories unique?
His short stories are unique due to his exploration of psychological and sociological themes. He looks at how humans interact with their environment, especially in extreme or unusual situations. In stories like 'The Terminal Beach', he combines post - apocalyptic landscapes with the inner turmoil of the protagonist, creating a very distinct and engaging reading experience. Also, his use of vivid and often surreal imagery sets his stories apart. His descriptions make the strange scenarios feel real and draw the reader in, like in 'The Garden of Time' where the decaying garden is described in such detail that it becomes a character in itself.
