In a world where time itself is both a cage and a cycle, there is a truth darker than any shadow cast by the moon. Some things are destined to repeat, no matter how desperately one struggles to break free. Some souls are born to live their lives in endless loops, chained by forces they cannot understand, no matter how much they fight. This is the story of Sora, a boy whose existence has been twisted by the hands of fate and whose every step has been marked by an unseen puppeteer. Orphaned and alone, he exists at the intersection of broken dreams and painful truths, caught in a web of manipulation and dark secrets. From the moment he lost his parents under mysterious circumstances, Sora has been thrust into a world that holds no mercy. The cycle that binds him, and the others who are trapped within it, is more than a mere repetition of events. It is a curse, a force beyond their control, that shapes their lives and their deaths. But Sora refuses to accept his fate. With a heart full of anger, grief, and determination, he seeks to uncover the truth—about his parents, the mysterious forces controlling his life, and the dark entity known only as the Puppeteer. Alongside him is Dena, a girl who has also been scarred by the cycle and by the choices of others. Together, they fight not only for survival but for a chance to change the path they are on. Yet, in this world where every choice feels like a trap and every moment is both fleeting and eternal, Sora must confront the question that haunts him: Is it truly possible to break free, or is he doomed to repeat his fate, no matter what? Fated is a tale of love and loss, of power and manipulation, and of the relentless pursuit of freedom. It is a story about what it means to truly be free—if such a thing is even possible in a world that seems intent on making sure we remain prisoners of our own histories. The path ahead is uncertain, the stakes higher than ever before, and the price of freedom—if it exists—could be more than any of them are willing to pay. Welcome to the world of Fated. Where fate is not a gift but a curse, and even those who fight the hardest may find that they are nothing more than pieces in a game they cannot escape.

This story, however, is not about that. It's about Hector, an orphan from the planet Ithar. Brilliant beyond measure, Hector had always been different, but in a world where strength ruled, his intellect meant little. Mocked by his peers, he was called weak, his beauty nothing more than a cruel joke in a society that valued power above all. While the world around him changed he remained untouched by the radiant auras that danced around his peers. The universe would soon learn that true power was not born of strength alone, but of unyielding will and unrelenting passion. As the threads of fate started to weave together, one question echoed through the cosmos: What happens when an ordinary soul becomes the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe?

A young doctor felt exhausted by the hospital environment, the pressure from patients, time constraints, and the endless cycle of studying and exams. Finally, he made a bold decision: to return to a remote village and work as a doctor there, away from all that stress. In this monotonous life, there was only one thing that managed to ease his sadness a little. It was a small novel that a patient had given him. Unexpectedly, an unforeseen accident caused him to reincarnate as a minor character in that very novel. “Hahaha… At last, I can escape from that dull world!” "Now I'll use this knowledge to seize all the treasures and secrets meant for the main character... enough for me to live a peaceful and luxurious life in this world." ... "Wait, something’s wrong." "It seems the novel I read was just a poorly made copy of this world.” Everything was a surprise when the knowledge he possessed turned out to be a poorly replicated, predictable version, while the real world was the complete opposite. Here, the main character was decisive, shrewd, ruthless, killing without a second thought. The side characters were constantly entangled in cycles of killing and scheming. Not to mention, the fate of this damned world seemed to be like two sides of the same coin.

This novel, a masterful blend of fantasy, mythology, and philosophy, unfolds a world reborn from the ashes of a cataclysm. The story begins in the predawn hours of September 23, 2019, an ordinary moment that would become anything but. An unexpected calamity struck, not born of nature's wrath but from a profound upheaval within the very fabric of the cosmos—the Heavenly Principle. The Heavenly Principle, the fundamental law that sustains balance across all creation, underwent an unprecedented transformation at this pivotal moment. The wishes, fixations, and desires of countless beings surged like an unstoppable tide, permeating the heavens and earth. The power of these emotions was so immense that even the Heavenly Principle could no longer bear it, leading to its ultimate collapse. With the disruption of this cosmic order, malevolent thoughts ran rampant, intertwining with benevolent intentions, as fixations and desires entangled in a chaotic yet formidable force. This force not only reshaped the real world but also gave birth to a realm of fantasy shaped by the collective consciousness of humanity. In this new world of fantasy, boundaries between myriad realms dissolved, and different dimensions and timelines intertwined, forming an unprecedented multiverse. Here, all things were liberated from the constraints of traditional laws, vying for freedom under the frosty sky, embodying a renewed vitality. Yet, this world was not solely one of light and beauty; it was also fraught with challenges and peril. The once-suppressed negative emotions now manifested as tangible entities, becoming obstacles that impeded the progress of its inhabitants. Through this narrative, the novel explores the depths of human emotion and the intricate relationship between humanity and the universe, inviting readers on a journey through a world where destruction and creation coexist, and where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.

For centuries, humanity has fought a losing war against the alien Xa’tarii. Every attempt to unite has ended in failure, every plan foiled by betrayal, greed, or fear. Talon Graves is one man trapped in an endless cycle, reliving the fight over and over in a desperate attempt to find the path that will save humanity. This is his story, from the first life where he was just a kid. To the hundredth and beyond, trapped in an endless cycle. Each step, each decision, brings him closer to breaking the cycle or losing himself entirely. Perhaps even both. Will Talon’s hope be enough to defy fate, or will humanity fall to its own flaws once more? -- Hello everyone! If you’ve made it this far into the summary, and I still haven’t convinced you to click on that first chapter, let me share a little more about what you can expect from this book. This story offers a unique power system, one inspired by cultivation but with my own twist to make it truly distinct. It’s a universe where intergalactic warfare takes center stage, featuring everything from the awe-inspiring World Enders who can destroy planets with a thought, to the smallest soldiers fighting tooth and nail for survival. Every individual matters, and every battle leaves its mark. In this universe, it’s all about scale. Even a world-ending Super is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. When wars span entire galaxies and civilizations vie for dominance across universal borders, the impact of a single Super, no matter how powerful, is often a morale boost or the elimination of key high-profile targets, including enemy World Enders themselves. Victory here isn’t determined by raw strength alone but by strategy, sacrifice, and the countless individuals who shape the tide of war. So, if you’re looking for a story that combines relentless action, intricate power systems, and the weight of interstellar stakes, then this might just be the book for you. I hope you’ll give it a chance, click that first chapter, and let’s dive in together. P.S. I’ll be writing this for the long haul, so if you’re expecting a gritty, determined, and powerful individual right from the start, this isn’t that kind of story. Instead, you’ll follow a journey of growth, struggle, and transformation as Talon learns to navigate a brutal universe and carve his place in it. Enjoy! Updates: 1.5k - 2k words a day (or 1 - 2 chaps)
