Despite his many efforts to avoid them, fate keeps pushing him into conflict with these seemingly invincible figures. Desperate to find a way out, Lynn partners with a mysterious individual who gifts him a powerful system, one that offers unimaginable strength and potential. But even with these newfound abilities, Lynn repeatedly faces defeat at the hands of the chosen ones. No matter how many times he tries, the cycle continues, and Lynn begins to question if his fate is truly his own, or if he's simply a pawn in a game beyond his control. As the battles grow more intense and the stakes higher, Lynn must confront a harsh truth: some battles are never meant to be won.

In the final moments as everything fades to black, in a desperate flash of clarity, a daring thought crosses his mind: If I can't defeat them... I will bring someone who can. —If this world is so determined to control my fate, then I’ll bring someone who is beyond its reach. Someone who cannot be dictated by its rules. Someone even the Book of Fate cannot anticipate. Someone who could correct his mistakes, fix what had gone wrong in his life, and perhaps even achieve the unthinkable—things that Lynn himself had always dreamed of but never dared attempt. .... i am writing this novel for fun , nothing else. just my personal wish to create something different from typical cliche standards. it may end up becoming good or bad.

Cold or numb

“And what is it about him that still makes you love him?” I asked, sensing I already knew the answer. “Oh, my dear, please try not to hold onto so much resentment for your father. He might—” “Mom!” I interrupted, my voice breaking as a sardonic laugh escaped me. “How can you still find a way to justify his actions? Even if you have some lingering feelings for him, shouldn’t they fade when you think about what he’s done to me? Am I really not as important as the man who has only brought you pain?” My emotions overwhelmed me, and I struggled to hold back my tearsThe silence enveloped us, and I could feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. I couldn't help but wonder what had clouded my mom's judgment, perhaps it was the influence of that man she called her husband. “Mom, I think it's time for you to choose a side,” I said, my voice trembling as I neared the end of my sentence, fully aware that I might never address him that way again. “You can’t keep pretending this is going to work. It’s either me or…him.” “Serena, please, you can't win against your dad. I really think you should drop any thoughts of going against him. He’s not as bad as you believe, dear. Remember, he’s the one who pays for this house and your college tuition. Your clothes and food—all of that is still his responsibility, and he’s meeting those obligations. All I ask is that you finish college, find a job, or better yet, settle down with a good man,” my mom urged, her voice tinged with an earnest desperation as if she were trying to convince not just me but herself. I listened, trying to remain calm, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips as I realized I couldn't back down from my convictions. “Alright, Mom, if you’ve chosen Mr. Andre, that’s your decision. But I won’t be swayed—I’m going to forge my own path, and I hope you’ll understand that when the time comes.” With that, a sense of resolve washed over me, and I braced myself for the future ahead, knowing it would be filled with both challenges and possibilities.
