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

A Long Journey

Although his stomach was more efficient than an incinerator and could squeeze out all the energy from ordinary nutrients, the Myrtharians' energy of choice was still minerals, a few metals, along with heat and radiation. It had taken Jake quite a while to come up with a suitable replacement power source, but he had finally succeeded.

That little gravel that looked vaguely like a brownish pellet was military-grade plutonium-239, an artificial radioactive atom derived from uranium-238 in nuclear power plants. At his request, Will had gone to great lengths to get his hands on this prized commodity.

Back then, when Earth still existed, getting your hands on plutonium would have been impossible without special authorization. On B842 it was different. There were more valuable sources of energy than radioactivity and any material, as long as it was ordinary, could be easily obtained through the Oracle Store.
