Black String of Fate

"Is Fate the excuse of the forsaken, is Free Will the delusion of the chosen?" Such was a question that Xavier, the Demon King, never had the chance to ask himself. As he lay defeated, awaiting his death, he wondered about the wretched life he lived. 'The hero who killed me, the one who held the same ambitions as me. We both wanted good for the people, for the world. We are both two sides of the same coin, yet, fate decided that he will be the one the light will shine on. Perhaps it was me too, perhaps it was my karma for flowing the rivers of blood with my sword. But still... It was fate that squashed the humanity in me first! Damn fate, if I had one more chance, I would've lived for myself more, I wouldn't have taken this arbitrary role of being a necessary evil... This world, this game of destiny... It can burn to ashes for all I care.' As he sunk into the cold embrace of death, a certain [REDACTED] heard his dying wish with amusement and cast their die, reversing the wheel of time one last time and going all in on him on a risky gamble with the stakes of their world. ************** Discord Server (fixed): https://discord.gg/rZhT6zdp2f Author is on a break, exams are coming soon.

Xavier, the C-ranked Adventurer

On a lonely evening road, a young man sitting on a bandwagon could be seen, riding along and admiring the sunset. He looked to be close to his teenage years, but not quite there yet. From his attire, it was obvious that he was an adventurer, and from the dirt that had gathered over that fit, it was also obvious that he was returning from a quest.

"So, are you an adventurer, boy? At your age?"

The cart driver, who was just an old farmer selling his produce, asked the boy out of curiosity. The boy, with his profound red eyes, looked at the farmer and replied,

"Yeah, and a C-ranked one at that too. You're quite lucky, old man, you found me."

"Hohoho, that I am. Honestly, I've heard the roads are being terrorized by bandits these days. I'm no longer a fit young man who can scare those scoundrels away, so it's nice that you came across me."
