You tread a narrow path leading to a small, dimly lit room, seemingly untouched for ages, claimed by dust and critters. There is only a lone desk adorned with aged papers, a pen, and a wood engraving featuring a mysterious face.
Examining the back of the engraving, small letters catch your eye, revealing a name: Paulo Pacheco. Though unfamiliar, you speculate it is the dungeon’s creator mentioned by the Gatekeeper.
Your focus shifts to the papers laying on the wooden table. The text seems to outline the tale of Paulo, detailing his past pursuits and studies. Seated in the solitary chair before the desk, you delve into the documents.

/// Quest Accomplishments
Writing and Communication
My journey into writing and communication was driven by a keen interest in language, research, information dissemination, and creativity. Each role I performed as a writer contributed to my own style and heightened my attention to detail.
Over the years, I have gathered knowledge from diverse disciplines, including technical writing—a category in which I include academic writing—, copywriting, creative writing, game design, and biology.
My main trade has been freelance writing and editing, in which I have engaged in:
- Crafting articles on Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.
- Rigorous research and data gathering data for credible content.
- Proofreading technical documentation online.
- Editing scientific research papers for submission in peer-reviewed journals.
- Polishing grant proposals for submission.
Life Studies
While writing took over my life, my roots lie in the enchanting realms of biology—specifically, microbiology and entomology. My initial quest involved discovering safe substances to shield crops from pests.
After finishing this research, I aided others as a laboratory technician and led educational initiatives in schools addressing marine pollution. Later, I immersed myself in the complex world of fungi, seeking alternative organic materials for Pleurotus mushroom production.
/// Arcane Studies
For my academic pursuits, I embarked on a bachelor’s degree in biology, specializing in biotechnology. Subsequently, I ventured into a two-year master’s degree in biotechnology in biological control.
You can find my profile on the digital walls of LinkedIn.
