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

Good Answer

As Jake's mind raced, he noticed a subtle change in Lucia's expression. Her eyes, once full of expectation and hope, began to narrow and darken, and her lips, once so inviting, now turned down in a slight frown.

"Jake," she said, her voice tinged with disappointment, "you made me a promise. I've been waiting for an answer. Do you have one for me now?"

In that moment, Jake felt like he was caught in a trap. He could see the hurt in her eyes, and it cut him to the core. He knew he couldn't keep avoiding this conversation, but the thought of giving her an answer he knew she didn't want to hear made him feel sick to his stomach.

Finally, he took a deep breath and looked into her eyes, the weight of his decision heavy on his shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Lucia," He said softly. "I don't have the answer you want."
