Agus das minhocas No segundo semestre da minha licenciatura em Bioquimica, tivemos uma professora de microbiologia que além de ser cientista, era filósofa de profissão, se não me lembro mal, tinha-se graduado em Alemanha há anos, pelo que tinha um imenso amor pela microbiologia e pela arte da escrita. No final do semestre, realizamos uma tafera lúdica com fins recreativos, o objetivo era escrever uma história a partir de um desenho de uma espécie animal; no nosso caso o animal era uma minhoca. Eramos pelo menos uns quatro ou cinco grupos na nossa turma, dos quais apenas dois entregaram a tarefa, eu formei parte de um desses grupos. Um dia antes da entrega da tarefa, tomei a liberdade de escrever um conto um pouco mais complexo daquilo que era esperado; no final acabei por criar personagens nativos da Indonésia, e na altura lembro-me que a professora gostou muito, até fomos convidados ao Centro de Biologia Marinha da Madeira, uma visita que recordo com carinho.

OMEGA: great storyline, endearing characters and a series full of potential.

I'm not a professional reviewer, but I'm going to give my opinion in the format of a review: The book is about a fantastic/epic story that reminds me a lot of some games, books and movies I love like Harry Potter or Final Fantasy; it's about a boy called Luke looking for its identity while attending Alexander Academy, the biggest and most prestigious school of the Nexus continent. In the way he'll meet Yuna, a righteous and determined blonde girl who would do anything to maintain justice; Jett, a shy but brave young titan that has a passion for baking; and Ella, an attentive and sincere druid that doesn't thinks twice before aiding those in need. Together, they'll encounter many difficulties as their journey begins in their first year at Alexander Academy, in a fantastical world filled with magic and technology, where war and fear threatens to alter peace and order. Luke, under the command of his loyal butler Alonzo Nolan, trains everyday to dominate the st
