The Oracle Paths

Have you ever wished you exactly knew how to accomplish your dreams? Not feeling the slightest doubt anymore? Being aware at any time how every choice, action and decision of yours affects your future? That's what happened to Jake Wilderth, a procrastinating young man without ambition. When a mysterious silver spaceship, popping out from nowhere, delivered to each Earthling a bracelet containing an AI introducing itself as the Oracle, their destiny changed. From a boring uneventful life Jake began to strive for greatness, treading his Path over the dead bodies of many. What a blessing it would have been if he was the only one profiting of such a gift! But when everyone became equal to face the future, he soon realized no gift comes for free.. Just a warning. Volume 1 sets the atmosphere in a Earth slowly degenerating into chaos and can be considered as a big prologue. It is slow and not as rewarding for the readers than mainstream stories on this website. If you can push through it will be worth it. For some real action you need to wait chap 27. =================================== Discord link: https://discord.gg/d8udP7Q

What Is This Feeling?

'I'm not dead yet?'

That was Jake's first thought when he regained consciousness. He was then engulfed by a searing pain sweeping through his entire being, cruelly bringing him back to reality.

"Guh..."

It was the only half-stifled grunt that escaped from his tightly clenched teeth, half of which were broken. His body had almost melted, the bones of his skull visible in some places, had lost their whitish luster and had turned a charcoal gray color.

He looked awful, like out of a horror movie, but somehow he was still miraculously in one piece or so. He was missing both arms and his body was disfigured and charred, without skin or connective tissue. As for his bones, most of them had held up, but he still had quite a few fractures.

As he tried to lean on his missing arms to get up, he lost his balance and fell flat on his head. His forehead hit the steel floor with a resounding " gong " that rattled his brain.
