DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

The night was cloaked in a thick fog, the city of Shanghai shimmering in the distance like a sea of broken stars. Li Wei stood at the large window of her modest apartment, cradling her daughter, Mei Ling, in her arms. The city's vibrant life seemed a world away as she gazed out, lost in her thoughts. It had been four years since Zhang Ming, the man who had stolen her heart and shattered it, walked out of her life. The man who was not just her lover but the father of her child. His sudden return had stirred up emotions she had long buried, reopening wounds she thought had healed. Li Wei's mind drifted back to the first time she met Zhang Ming. She had been the diligent HR manager tasked with onboarding the new CEO. An error in the system led her to believe he was an undercover auditor sent to evaluate the company’s practices. Determined to impress, she had gone out of her way to make his transition smooth. Little did she know, her kindness would be the spark that ignited a forbidden romance. Their love had been as passionate as it was secretive. Stolen glances during meetings, hidden kisses in the elevator, and whispered confessions late into the night. But the truth had a way of surfacing. When she discovered his true identity, the betrayal had cut deep. Zhang Ming's resignation, intended to protect her, only left her more isolated and heartbroken. In the months that followed, Li Wei discovered she was pregnant. The news had been a beacon of hope in her darkest hour. She chose to keep the child, raising Mei Ling on her own while burying herself in her work. Every day was a struggle, but Mei Ling's smile gave her the strength to carry on. Tonight, as she held Mei Ling close, the knock on the door startled her. Her heart raced as she approached, a sense of dread mingled with hope. She opened the door to find Zhang Ming standing there, older and wearier but with the same intense gaze that had once melted her defenses. He looked at her with a mixture of hope and regret, his eyes lingering on the child in her arms. In that moment, Li Wei knew their story was far from over. The past and present collided, setting the stage for a tumultuous journey of redemption, love, and second chances.
