Need hjälp att identifiera fantasiboken om en portal till ett fantasi land i källaren av ett hus

5

Jag kan inte komma ihåg några namn på tecken eller platser där berättelsen ägde rum, men jag kommer ihåg det grundläggande diagrammet i denna tidiga 90-talets roman; en mänsklig man arvar sin fars hus. I källaren finns en dörröppning till ett fantastiskt land där äventyret uppträder. Han bekämpar alvor och vinner sina dödliga älvsvordar som han begravde under betong i slutet av romanen (för om du inte blir av med dem kommer de att komma tillbaka och få dig).

I slutet av romanen måste han återskapa världen i sin egen fantasi, förvandla den tuffa Elf King till en skomakare och göra Jesse Jacksons president. Jag har tittat högt och lågt och har ritat ett tomt.

Vilken hjälp som helst skulle uppskattas. Tack!

Engissning: " Varayan Memoir " serien med Rick Shelley

Här är en översikt över " Heroes son ", den första boken i serien:

When he comes home from college to celebrate his 21st birthday, our hero, Gil, is bemused to find his parents missing.

Looking down in the basement, he discovers a secret door that leads into a fantasy land, complete with elves, dragons, wizards, castles, and all the rest that you might expect.

Gil learns that his parents have been hiding a double life from him for all these years - he is actually the designated Hero of Varay and not only that, but the king's grandson and Heir to the Realm!

Although he was a computer science major, Gil is rather jock-like, and fighting and heroics seem to come naturally to him.

Which is lucky, because when he discovers that his father has been killed in Varay's struggle against the encroachments of Faery, he of course must *accept the quest to lead that struggle and seek his revenge.

~ Synopsis redigerad från goodreads ; Bokomslaget kommer från Amazon

Gil slår elvar och andra olika varelser i första delen. Efter att ha besegrat en särskilt hård elf, blir han ombedd att hävda det fallna krigareens svärd. Och vi lär oss snart varför en elfs svärd aldrig ska lämnas:

I felt tired suddenly, fatigue just trying to swallow me whole. I stabbed the claymore into the sand at the elf's head.

"I wish I knew his name. He was really something fighting that dragon."

A true hero, I thought. I looked down. The magic I had felt from him before was gone. A supposed immortal had found that he wasn't, not by a long shot. I shook my head and started to walk toward my horse.

"You're not going to leave his sword, are you?" Harkane asked. His voice actually sounded pained.

"Why not?" I asked.

Annick answered. "To leave an elf warrior's sword would be disaster. It would return to kill you."

"Why? I didn't kill him."

"It will seek you out if you abandon it, though. That is the way of such weapons."

Jag har inte läst böckerna helt. Men den andra plotpunkten du tog upp, om hur progagonisten "måste återskapa världen i sin egen fantasi"? Något sådant händer också i denna serie - mot slutet av den tredje boken, " The Hero King ". När de återvänder från den andra dimensionen, passerar Gil och hans vän (er) av en tidningskiosk. Här är ett utdrag:

I turned away from the kiosk before I even glanced at the headlines on the papers. They started strange things going on in my throat. The words were in English, but they didn't all register at once.

"What the hell's happened here?" I whispered when I could get anything out.

"You happened," Aaron said, just as softly.

          JACKSON: NO SECOND TERM

President Jesse Jackson has announced that he will not run for a second term. Instead, he will embark on a goodwill tour to the home worlds of the members of the Federation of Sentient Races…

"Hey, you do that?" Aaron asked. He was reading over my shoulder.

"I guess I did," I said. "I seem to have done a lot."
