| The Economy of Pain — MINUS HUMAN Vol. II |

What survives when a system converts grief into inventory? In Dis, pain has a market rate. Human experiences are extracted, sealed in metal containers, and graded by intensity for sale to colonies that will never set foot in the world where they were produced. The protagonist works as an ontological taster — not with instruments, but with his hands — evaluating the purity of suffering packaged for consumption. Nine years of this work have compressed him into something nearly frictionless: a body that performs without asking whether it wants to. That compression fails across four movements: * Routine: a body that honors its contract with gravity before the mind wakes up to object. * The name: an inventory label — ELIANA — that the Tic Tac reads before consciousness does. * Fragments: memory that doesn't live in scenes but in textures; wool beneath bare feet, the specific blue of a dress on an unmappable day, the weight of a ring traded for clean water. * The ritual: saying a name aloud in an empty warehouse, not as prayer or grief, but as testimony that a person existed. The chapter closes with the Heart of Dis — a pulse rising from the bedrock that beats with unusual frequency tonight, as if something beneath the city remembered it was alive. And with a stranger who does something no one in Dis does: looks at him with uncalculated curiosity, without commercial motive. The one thing the system cannot extract, grade, or sell is the decision that something matters. Made in silence against cold metal, that decision is the only form of resistance this chapter advances. 🔹 MINUS HUMAN — The Shadow (Vol. II) Jesús Bernal Allende https://a.co/d/0aGUDhxU [https://a.co/d/0aGUDhxU] 🌐 https://minushuman.io/EN/ [https://minushuman.io/EN/] 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795]

| First Blood — MINUS HUMAN Vol. I |

What remains of a man once the only thing anchoring him is no longer what he protects, but what he remembers feeling while destroying? In the bone-built alleys of Dis, twelve attackers emerge from the corridors hunting for the one thing the system still hasn't managed to extract: an Attuned child, one more Recordante for the market. The Anomal — Case 72-T, ENR, the anomaly the system was never built to reflect — confronts the choice he's been deferring since the first uncontrolled break: contain what he carries, or release it with intent. Not for the child. For the relief he tasted once and now wants again. Chapter 17 closes Volume I with the scene that names the threshold crossed: — Killing stops being reaction and becomes deliberate choice. — The Unborn manifests for the first time as presence rather than rumor: a bodiless echo that already knows how this story ends. — The cost of release gets fixed in place: what accumulates isn't guilt, it's forgetting. Each time the Tic Tac falls silent to permit destruction, something disappears and doesn't come back. — Gula offers the way out, toward "where those who can no longer return go," and the Anomal takes it knowing there's no path back to who he was before the alley. The question the first attacker asked without expecting an answer — how do you live with this — finally gets one, and it isn't the answer readers expect. You don't live. You survive: one relief after another, one loss after another, until carrying what little remains — a crooked drawing, a child's parting wave — is the only thing separating a man from becoming what hunts him. This chapter closes the founding arc of The Threshold and opens the door to Volume II: The Shadow, where the weapon will learn to aim.

What remains of a self when survival demands that you keep letting go? A year inside Dis does quietly what Cronos's machines could not finish: it erases. Not through suppression protocols or extraction chambers, but through the accumulated weight of doing what no one else will do — dragging bodies with no names, collecting payment in silence, learning the unspoken rituals of those who handle what others refuse to touch. Faces dissolve. Voices go flat. Mira is still four letters, still an obligation, but the person behind those letters has no eyes anymore, no voice, no shape — only the gravity of abandonment. What the Tic Tac cannot consume are the drawings. PAPÁ with an inverted P. AYUDA with the Y backwards. The small hand raised in a farewell no child should know how to give. Those hold. As long as they hurt, something human persists. This episode is the moment that cannot be taken back. After delivering an elder Recordante to be emptied — and receiving his warning on the way, that certain frequencies become echoes, that Urzal is not legend but precedent — the protagonist confronts something he can no longer contain. In the alley, when those who come for him arrive, the Tic Tac stops being a rhythm and becomes a weapon. What follows is not horror. It is relief. And the relief that doesn't leave is exactly the hook El No-Nacido always knew would catch. The chapter closes on a question without a clean answer: how do you live with this? The text doesn't offer consolation — it offers precision. You survive. One cycle at a time. As long as you still carry what hurts. The drawings. The salute. The shame. The day those stop mattering is the day you finish becoming an echo. 👑 MINUS HUMAN — The Threshold Jesús Bernal Allende 🛒 https://a.co/d/0aGUDhxU [https://a.co/d/0aGUDhxU] 🌐 https://minushuman.io/EN/ [https://minushuman.io/EN/] 📷 https://www.instagram.com/minushuman.universe/ [https://www.instagram.com/minushuman.universe/] 🎵 https://www.tiktok.com/@minushuman.universe [https://www.tiktok.com/@minushuman.universe] ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/@MinusHuman.Universe [https://www.youtube.com/@MinusHuman.Universe] 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795]

| Seeds — MINUS HUMAN Vol. I |

How long can a man do what shames him before he stops feeling ashamed? In Dis there are no dawns. Only cycles. Another body. Another job. Another step toward whatever the system needs you to become. Chapter 15 closes the second movement of The Threshold with three missions that stain, two appearances that mark, and a power that wakes without anyone asking it to. The protagonist extracts an implant from a still-warm skull and chooses the first bidder over the higher offer — not out of loyalty, but because in Dis every decision is a record and every record gets collected. The Gallu catch his scent: broken children who grew up in the city's bones, who recognize in him something he refuses to recognize in himself. A mirror with eyes that have forgotten how to blink. Then the job he should never have taken: escort an Attuned from point A to point B without asking what happens at point B. The boy has eyes that know. He has a crumpled piece of paper with a word in red crayon. The Y is backwards. HELP. The same crooked handwriting he has carried in memory since the beginning. The protagonist lets go of the hand. Walks away. The paper stays on the ground. And the Tick Tock — which is no longer only his — tells him what he doesn't want to hear: not that he did something wrong, but that he has stopped being surprised that he did. The second movement is over. Shame weighs more than bodies and more than hunger. It is the only thing still keeping him human. The day it stops hurting, he will have stopped being one. 🔹 MINUS HUMAN — Vol. I · The Threshold Jesús Bernal Allende | Escuela del Deber-Optimizar y la Soberanía de la Evidencia 🌐 https://edo-os.com [https://edo-os.com] 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795]

MINUS HUMAN Vol. 1 | Ch. 14 — The Hollow

The first body appeared before he could name the day. In Dis there are no days. Only cycles of darkness that lightens and darkness that thickens. And between them, work: the bodies no one wants to touch, the pit no one wants to look at, the rhythm no one wants to hear. Scrrrr — pause — scrrrr — pause — scrrrr. The same rhythm as the Tic Tac. Chapter 14 is the chapter of the nameless transformation. While dragging the dead through Dis's bone corridors, three encounters dismantle him from different angles. The thirty-seven Recordantes who gather in the hollow and scream in silence — mouths open, throats tensed, no sound coming out — until he opens his mouth too and lets out the weight he carried from above. The crayon drawing. PAPÁ with the P backwards. The guard left on the floor. The silence of that word leaving like weight being lifted, not like sound. Then Qadim — a man older than time itself, seller of stories from those who can no longer tell them. Who reveals what Urzal never said: the First also had the fracture. The same porousness. The same border too thin between himself and everything else. He had to choose between saving someone he loved or saving himself. He chose to use the fracture to save the other. And in doing so, the fracture devoured him. He became Dis. Urzal was human. And he might be the last. Then Gula — one of the Seven Pillars, the one who controls information, the one who knows what you need before you know it yourself. Who confirms what Qadim didn't finish: soon he will have to make the same choice the First made. And she will be there. Selling tickets. But the most decisive moment has no witnesses. Sitting on bone that was once a person, in the silence between one body and the next, he hears something that doesn't come from the Zero, that doesn't come from Urzal. It comes from inside. From the place that was always there. . (here) . . . (I was always here) . . . (waiting for you to listen). The Tic Tac spoke. His own. For the first time in his life, from within. And when Urzal says from the depths — you are mine — he answers from that new place: I am not yours. We are the same. And Urzal smiles. Because that was exactly what he wanted him to understand. Or what he feared he would understand. In Dis, always both. The chapter closes with nine leitmotifs planted in Urzal's garden. And a tenth seed — the smallest, the most dangerous: the word «thank you» said to a body that could no longer hear. Proof that he is still human. Still. 🎬 Watch the Ch. 1 cinematography on YouTube: youtube.com/@MinusHuman.Universe [http://youtube.com/@MinusHuman.Universe] search "MINUS HUMAN El Umbral" 🔹 MINUS HUMAN — The Anomal Saga Jesús Bernal Allende | Escuela del Deber-Optimizar y la Soberanía de la Evidencia https://a.co/d/0aqn7Oja [https://a.co/d/0aqn7Oja] 🌐 https://minushuman.io [https://minushuman.io] 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-bernal-allende-030b2795]
