En Kilima, donde los días transcurren tranquilos, pocos se atreven a hablar del comerciante que jamás cierra su tienda. Dicen que Zeki nació de un pacto, no uno firmado con tinta, sino con sangre y desesperación. Su madre, una poderosa líder del Cártel Mantis, ofreció lo más valioso que tenía: su hijo enfermo, a cambio de fortuna y poder. Pero las sombras que respondieron no se lo llevaron… lo fusionaron con el Bacá. Desde entonces, Zeki vive entre dos mundos. Su sonrisa es tan afilada como sus garras, y su fortuna crece como si el oro lo buscara a él. De día, vende con encanto y astucia. De noche, el eco de su tienda murmura antiguos nombres y las monedas tintinean solas, como si respiraran. Nunca se aleja demasiado de su mostrador. “Negocios”, dice, ajustándose el monóculo. Pero los ancianos saben la verdad: el Bacá no puede abandonar el terreno que protege, ni soportar la luz del sol. A veces, cuando la luna se cuela por las ventanas del Almacén General, la sombra de Zeki se estira más de lo normal, revelando una forma de patas largas y ojos dorados, el espíritu que aún habita dentro. Y sin embargo, algo en él ha cambiado. Ya no busca almas ni sacrificios, sino redención. Ha aprendido a negociar con la oscuridad… vendiéndole esperanza. Dicen que si un aldeano sufre de mala suerte y entra a su tienda al anochecer, Zeki le ofrece una sonrisa, un amuleto y un consejo: “Nada es gratis, pero no todo tiene que costarte el alma.”

Title: Zeki: Son of the Pact

In Kilima, where days pass in peace, few dare to speak of the merchant who never closes his shop. They say Zeki was born from a pact, not written in ink, but in blood and desperation. His mother, a powerful member of the Mantis Cartel, offered what she loved most: her dying son, in exchange for wealth and protection. But the shadows that answered didn’t take him, they merged with him. From that day, Zeki has lived between two worlds. His grin is sharp as a blade, his fortune uncanny. By day, he sells with wit and charm. By night, whispers crawl through his store, and the coins clink by themselves, as if breathing. He never strays far from his counter. “Business,” he says, adjusting his monocle. But the elders know the truth: the Bacá cannot leave the land it guards, nor stand the touch of sunlight. Sometimes, when moonlight hits the shop’s window just right, his shadow stretches into something with long limbs and golden eyes, the spirit that still lives within. And yet, something in him has changed. He no longer trades souls but seeks to redeem his own. He’s learned to bargain with darkness… by selling hope instead. They say that if a villager with bad luck enters his shop at dusk, Zeki greets them with a grin, an amulet, and a warning: “Nothing’s free, my friend, but not everything has to cost your soul.”
