His soul shone as bright as a galaxy once, but now is but a sun. His talents made him the envy of all. And He lost it all, tricked and manipulated from the time he was a child. The Second soul belonged to a man soon to be the richest in the world in his own universe. A man who had his face charred, a man who seemingly had every odd placed against him from the very beginning. He went against the family that abused him and triumphed over them. Yet he was left broken inside, He craved a release, and the first soul brought him that release. And he became a psychopath that scared the manifestation of evil itself. And the Third?

His enemies were greater than one could count. His luck is worse than shit. And yet, he continued to fight. Despite whatever was thrown at him, he would brute force through it or outsmart it, befitting the other two above. He continued to fight, not believing in the bullshit that was destiny. ---------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/Sgxw6QEsgE

I saw how cruel the real world can be. At the age of only 16 I died miserably with no one to mourn my death. I was alone and also left alone. Maybe I was just born to suffer and only suffer. I thought I was finally free from all these uncomfortable things after I died... But then, I was reincarnated into another world. It was a world of cultivation where everyone strives to get more powers so to stand at the top of the food chain. Very different from my previous world, this world was ruthless, weak were slaves and strong were respected out of fear or awe. Its like watching an anime became real. Maybe this time it will be different but I was wrong again. Instead it became a fickle hope I shouldn't have. Again, I was abandoned at birth by biological parents and had no one by my side just like before... 'This time too I am alone and will be left alone..' I thought, having no hope, no emotion, no one to help me in this cold, dark forest. What awaits me was only a death either be eaten by ferocious monsters or by starving my just born body. Just as I was about to give up this life too I saw a most gorgeous person who gave a warm feeling I had never felt before. He pulled me out of this darkness and even filled up all the holes with love and care I had missed in my broken heart. He was the only sun shinning for me. Only after I was taken out from the darkness and was raised by him I found how beautiful and ethereal this feeling called 'love' is... ***** A/N:: Little bit of sadness and happiness wouldn't be that bad. Writing for the first time, there might be many error and Grammer mistake so your suggestion will be my guidelines. Thank you! ❣️
