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

Outline Of A Plan

Jake never once changed his course as he made his way back up, staying on the most direct path aligned with his starting tributary. From the lower reaches, through the middle, to the higher reaches, at each junction, he encountered numerous other tributaries merging with his own. Or was it the other way around?

Regardless, he maintained the same direction, deliberately avoiding visits to the other adjacent branches of the Lumyst River. This likely spared hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of enemy Players, but even in showing this mercy, or perhaps laziness, he still wiped out half a million, at least. It was a severe blow to the Players of the Lustra Plains.

This was partly because, as he ascended the Lumyst River, all tributaries eventually joined, increasing the likelihood of encountering Players from all over the continent seeking to bathe in its waters.

That's where the rub was.
