One Dice Lemon

Lemons of Fate

“IF life gives you lemons, well then, you’re god.” At least that’s what I wrote in my middle school diary, hoping it would be some kind of life mantra. Fast forward 15 years, and apparently, my childish optimism is the least of my worries. I’m now trapped in the novel I wrote as a kid. And no, I didn’t dream this up. There’s no way I imagined the high school drama, the ridiculous fantasy world, and—most importantly—the absurdly cliché plotline of some random teenager becoming a hero by… well, not being an idiot. But here I am. Caught between pages, awkwardly stuck in the world of my imagination where I’m supposed to be a minor character who dies in chapter three. Yeah. Real great, right? And here’s the kicker: It’s not like life (or the "god" of this world, which, let’s be honest, feels a lot like life at this point) is giving me some great power or destiny. No, no, no. Life’s throwing the equivalent of lemons at me, and I have no idea how to make lemonade. I mean, seriously? This world was supposed to be an adventure, full of magic, mythical creatures, and an epic storyline. But instead, I'm stuck here watching the “real” protagonist—who’s probably off saving the world—while I try to figure out how to not get killed by a random monster in the middle of a forest. Is this my punishment for writing a half-baked novel as a kid? Probably. But whatever it is, I’m going to have to deal with it. There’s just one problem—if I want to survive this insane mess, I need to rewrite my own fate. And rewriting this world is a hell of a lot harder than I thought. Can I survive in a story where I’m not supposed to exist? And more importantly—what if I can change the plot entirely?

Forsaken one

Jian Xuan, born without the Celestial Star, has been forsaken by both the gods and fate itself. Rejected by his family, abandoned by the world, and scorned by those he once trusted, Jian Xuan becomes a wandering cultivator in search of a purpose beyond survival. He dreams of one thing: revenge. When whispers of an ancient and hidden sect, the Forsaken Sect, reach his ears, Jian Xuan sees his chance for redemption. This secretive group is said to hold the power to challenge the very heavens and rewrite the laws of destiny itself—an offer too tempting to refuse. In his journey to find the Forsaken Sect, Jian Xuan faces countless trials, unravels the mysteries of the ancient temple known as the Forbidden Path, and encounters a figure who claims to be the last of the Forsaken. With this cryptic guide, Jian Xuan learns a shocking truth: to break Heaven’s Will, he must not only defy fate, but replace it. To become the master of destiny, he must first become its servant. However, his pursuit of power soon leads him down a dark path of moral dilemmas. With each choice, Jian Xuan must grapple with the consequences of his actions, torn between personal vengeance and the weight of his growing power. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, he realizes that even those who stand by him may have their own agendas, and some betrayals may be inevitable. In a world where gods play with the lives of mortals and fate is a cruel puppet master, Jian Xuan will have to decide whether to destroy the very system that forsook him or embrace it and become the ruler of all. The question remains: Can one truly change their destiny, or is the price of defying fate too great? The Forsaken Path is not one of easy answers, but one where power and sacrifice walk hand in hand.
