Fate Hands

When Will Travers, a feature writer at a struggling newspaper, comes home ten minutes late, he’s not prepared for the bombshell his wife, Leona, is about to drop. After eight years of marriage, she announces her decision to leave him, blaming a hidden sorrow: their inability to have children. As Will navigates the heartbreak and the eerie calm of his sudden solitude, he reflects on the unraveling of his life—from the once-loving bond he shared with Leona to his firm belief in an odd, personal superstition: he should have married a left-handed woman. Set against the backdrop of a decaying newspaper industry, The Left-Handed Truth is a bittersweet exploration of failure, resilience, and the humorous quirks that help us move forward. Will’s journey to rediscover purpose and rebuild his life is equal parts poignant and unexpectedly inspiring, proving that sometimes the path to healing lies in embracing your imperfections—and the unpredictable hands of fate.

Orphaned and trapped with her abusive adoptive father, Sumaya endures relentless bullying at school, unaware that her entire life has been built on lies. The biggest lie of all? That she’s human.

With a rare gift that allows him to hear the thoughts of others, no mind has ever been closed to him. Until hers. A chanced encounter puts Sumaya on a crossed path with a golden-eyed wolf. Something about the wolf unsettles her. The very next day, a new student arrives—Marrok. From the instant their eyes meet, she feels an inexplicable pull toward him, just like the wolf from the day before. But Marrok is even more unsettled. A simple human girl should mean nothing to him, yet her existence stirs something deep inside him, something his wolf refuses to name. As their paths collide, buried secrets begin to surface. Hidden Identities. Old vendetta. Stolen destiny. A betrayal that reshaped their world. And when the truth is finally revealed, the supernatural realm will be forced to face the consequences of their mistake. Because some fates can't be stolen without a price.

What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a world of a game? Would you panic? Rejoice? Just give up? This is a conundrum I found myself in after waking up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar room, with no clue of how I got there. Magic powers? I had none of those… A cheat-like system? Nowhere to be found. All I possessed was a single skill that seemed meager at best… [ Shadow Manipulation ]

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

His eyes were on me, but he wasn't speaking. “Gerald?” I touched his hand. “You have something to tell me?” All he said was “I understand.” But I felt the need to speak out. Guilt was building up in me, filling me up like a cup that was ready to overflow with water. His consistent look at me couldn't let me have a moment of peace. “Actually… Andrea and Raguel… They tricked me into spending a private time with Amon.” It was hard for me to maintain my flow of words, and I took in breaths. “I didn't realize he would try to seduce me.” My hands were rubbing against each other, the sweat forming on my palms acted as lubricant. But Gerald's expression did not change. “That's not a big issue on ground.” He shook his head about three times. “You have something that belongs to Amon.” Something that belonged to Amon? What if he knew I was pregnant with Amon's child? ************************************** Was it all about love or the mate bond? My lover, Amon, had left me for a girl he claimed was his fated mate, and I was torn apart, feeling like there was no life without him. In just a month, I met Gerald, the Alpha of another pack, and he turned out to be my mate. But then, I was pregnant with Amon’s child.

Gerald marked me without a hint of it, but things turned crazy when Amon showed up in secret, claiming he loved me. I was conflicted, but there was more to Gerald that I didn't know. Everyone around me was hinting vague things about him that they weren't certain of. Well, whatever it was, I was going to accept it as part of my fate.

In a world far larger than Earth, a cataclysmic event reshapes reality when mysterious towers appear across the continents. These towers, teeming with deadly creatures from other realms, open gateways for beings to emerge—creatures that can only leave their towers for 10 minutes at a time and cannot stray more than 10 feet from them. The appearance of these towers brings both chaos and opportunity. Great treasures, skills, and hidden knowledge lie within, but they come with a price. The world's balance teeters on the edge as these creatures wreak havoc on the land. The protagonist, a dedicated engineer, has spent years preparing for his dream job, only for the emergence of the towers to shatter his carefully laid plans. The once-predictable world is now unpredictable, and the protagonist finds himself thrust into a reality that no one could have foreseen. Along with the towers, adventurers—people who have awakened new traits and abilities—begin to appear. The protagonist, driven by frustration and a thirst for control, decides to forge his own path as an adventurer. With the knowledge he has from his engineering background and the systems granted by the towers, he embarks on a journey to explore the dungeons within the towers, uncover their treasures, and perhaps discover the means to restore order to the world. But the towers are not just a physical challenge—they are tied to the very fabric of reality itself. The protagonist must navigate not only the dangers of otherworldly creatures but also the increasingly fragmented political, geographical, and social conditions that arise from the towers’ presence. Each tower is a world unto itself, with creatures, treasures, and mysteries unique to each, and as the protagonist journeys deeper into these realms, he begins to understand that the towers might hold the key to saving—or destroying—the world. With new skills, powerful allies, and the weight of a crumbling world on his shoulders, the protagonist's quest is clear: survive, adapt, and find a way to confront the strange new system that governs this twisted reality. However, as his power grows, so too does the complexity of the world around him, and the lines between friend and foe blur. The towers’ true purpose is hidden deep within their foundations, and unlocking their secrets may be the only way to reverse the cataclysm—but will the protagonist be able to master the system before it's too late? *Towers of the Awakening* is a thrilling blend of RPG mechanics, world-building, and character development, exploring the tension between order and chaos in a world on the brink of collapse.

Have you ever wondered as a child? What would we humans find, once we leave the bosoms of Earth and journey past the heavens and into the black void of space. What lifeforms would we encounter and what planets we would colonize. Well humanity had finally left Earth and was in the process of colonizing the various other worlds within the system until they came. What did people think when we finally encountered aliens from beyond our solar system? How did they look? What intentions did they have? Were they huge monstruous beings from our darkest imaginations? Nope they look just like us albeit, more like the elves of fantasy. But what did many theories and movies, produced throughout human history get right, that they would be assholes. Disclaimer artwork cover is not mine just a representation art for reference.

Many years ago most of earth's population got infected with a mysterious infection, the "curse of the hollowed". All these poor souls developed superhuman abilities but completely lost their mind and started aimlessly destroying everything around them. To protect themselves, humans built walls around their towns and hunters, as well as royal knights were hired to get rid of the danger. But just as people started gaining hope that the pandemic will be over soon, the "divine light cult" was formed with members that believed the curse was a divine punishment and humans aren't allowed to intervene, so the members started to kill those who tried to defeat the victims of the curse. After years of struggling and many, many deaths the kingdom finally managed to get rid of most infected ones and the new cases started getting less and less, only happending occasionally. Suddenly, after more than a decade of peace strange events start to occur again. How will humanity hold up against a possible second wave of the "curse"?

Leng Feng looked at the woman who was crying and pleading for forgiveness. He found it laughable and, at the same time, was amused by how someone once seen as cold and aloof could now be in such a vulnerable state, easily taken advantage of. "Oh, how a lifetime of experience can transform someone from an aloof fairy to a weeping mess," Leng Feng thought and chuckled with amusement. Amidst his thoughts, Leng Feng had a realization: Was his own lifetime of experience fake? Crafted by someone to mold him into who he was now? Was he always just a mere puppet, destined to remain one in the future too? He questioned whether his love, hatred, pain, resentment, and tears were just part of a simulation created by someone. As he pondered, he chuckled at himself. Even if it was the emotions he felt were real. So what if he was a puppet? with his Chin held high, he stared at the heavens and uttered, "Against all odds, if I find you, puppeteer, you'll wish you were never born." ___________________ Disclaimer: The scenarios depicted in the story are purely fictional and should not be associated with real-life events or individuals.

As Bryan lay on his deathbed, enveloped by the cold of loneliness and the weight of the wounds that consumed him, the bitter pang of regret eclipsed the physical pain. The life he had chosen to live - a lonely path marked by violence - played out before his eyes like a cruel movie of memories. Without family to mourn him, friends to remember him or love to console him, he faced the end of his existence. With an icy smile and his last remaining strength, Bryan muttered, almost inaudibly: “He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.” But fate, in its unpredictability, did not seal his story there. Instead of falling into oblivion, Bryan awoke in a strange world, a universe ruled by strength and magic. Carrying with him the physical and emotional scars of his old life, he discovers that the blade that once condemned him to loneliness may be the key to his redemption. Now, in a world where alliances are fragile and danger lurks at every turn, Bryan must face not only the challenges this new place offers, but also the ghosts of his past. Will he find the strength to forge a new path and, for the first time, fight for something beyond himself?
