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

Stroll Around The Village

Over the next hour, Jake took the opportunity to tour the entire compound. He mapped the entire village with Xi's help and made sure to memorize everything he could with his almost photographic memory.

He quickly became aware of a few things. There were 73 participants in total, for exactly 73 buildings including his own. Among these dwellings, there was also a spacious manor house on the east side of the lake.

In the center of the village, along the main street, some of these buildings had other functions such as the Bakery, the Grocery, the Blacksmith's Shop, the Tannery or the Tavern.

The village was bordered by the lake to the North, the forest to the West, the mine to the East and the farmlands to the South. The manor house was to the Northeast, while his own residence as Forest Warden was at the far West of the village.

Most importantly, he didn't find any way out. If this escape route existed, it was very well hidden. It would take time to locate it.
