Gambit Of The Chosen One
All of humanity has felt the impact of the cosmic forces that erupted centuries ago. Monstrous entities appeared, some controlling human bodies, others taking over animals.
And then there were entirely new beings, whose powers far surpassed human capabilities. Their origins, intentions, and weaknesses remained mysteries. These monsters pushed humanity back, driving it to the edge of annihilation.
In this darkness, the prophecies began to emerge.
Prophetic fragments could be found in ancient relics, weapons, and graves, and scattered throughout the world, foretelling apocalypse, outcomes, and possible futures. Humanity found special knowledge in the fragments. They called this phenomenon the Fracture.
But collecting and interpreting these fragments proved beyond human ability, especially as monsters and deadly creatures covered the planet.
At the most critical moment of humanity's survival, the gods appeared. They promised humanity aid from their realms in exchange for forming bonds and gathering fragments of prophecy.
Over two hundred years later, the gathering of fragments continued. Prophecies spread, and people gained more knowledge, understanding that peace was temporary.
Then a new prophecy was revealed, warning people of the approaching second apocalypse. A new Fracture that will ultimately decide humanity's fate.
Then they discover additional fragments that talk about the Chosen One. He will collect all the fragments, unite the prophecy, and save humanity.
He will bring peace, harness the ultimate power equal to the gods, and crush all threats.
People named him Hope.

This is the Chosen One’s story.
Although the premise might not appear particularly unique, I am trying to craft something different in a genre that we all love.
I really love deep and structured world-building and making plans to test out some of my concepts.
Prophecy and harnessing power from it are nothing new, but I am adding some twists, and I hope you can find my story enjoyable. That is my main goal while doing this work.
The first couple of chapters are me trying to show and explain the world. But I promise that the plot always moves forward. And the story is fast-paced. If you would like to see more of my opinions, see my review below.
English is not my native language, so please excuse me and point out any faults.
Additional Tags: System (kind of); No OP protagonist; No face slapping; Magic (kind of); Cultivation (kind of). Dark, but not too much. May include some graphic scenes, but nothing too much. The story is romance at its core, but it is too soon to talk about that.
