Chapter 69. A Possible Future

69 69. A Possible Future

Orion felt as though he were a cloud hovering above a battlefield.

Below him stretched barren land, littered with rocks and small cliffs. Amidst this desolation lay the bodies of humans, monsters, and creatures resembling humans, strewn about like fallen leaves beneath trees.

Their lifeless bodies created a somber scene throughout the land, a reflection of the brutality that had occurred in that area.

Rivers of blood flowed along the corpses sactered there, making the ground painted red.

From up above, Orion only saw dead bodies and blood pools all around the battlefield when his attention was suddenly drawn by a movement in the distance.

Turning around, he looked towards the source of the movement and saw that it came from a man. He couldn't tell exactly the age of the man, but from what he could tell, it would be around 18–25 years old, approximately.

Seeing that, Orion felt surprised that there was still someone alive on this battlefield.

He floated closely towards the man to see him closely, but when he saw his face, he felt shocked, unlike anything he had before.

Because the face of the man resembled his face too much. It was like looking into a mirror, but the mirror showed a more mature and grown up version of him, and if Orion ignored the age difference and maturity on that face, he would believe the person standing in the distance was him.

'What's going on?'

He couldn't understand the thing he was witnessing right now.

Soon, he saw that the man started limping towards a heavy sword embedded in the ground.

'He is injured.'

Because of the shock he felt when he looked at his face, he unintentionally ignored the man's injury.

Slowly, by slowly limping, he appeared in front of the sword and held it in his right hand but didn't lift the sword up. Instead, he continued his limp and dragged the sword along the ground before he appeared in front of a boulder.

The point at which the man looked at the boulder didn't appear to be in Orion's field of view as he was standing behind the boulder, so he floated around the boulder when he saw something that shocked him to the core yet again.

Orion nodded. He also felt that if it was really one out of a billion possible futures, then there wasn't a need to worry since those odds seemed impossible to be true.

"Alright, now what?" he asked Isis. "I just go and hope that, because of my luck, that stupid god will let me go."

He didn't feel anything had changed within him and despaired at the thought that if we were to go back, the result would still be the same.

"Don't worry," Isis reassured him. "Just use your brain for a bit. What will you do if you have all the luck in the world?"

Orion pondered for a bit and had some ideas on how to use luck in his favor if he had indeed become lucky, as he said.

"But be aware," she warned. "Luck is a factor of chances and possibilities, so don't do anything that doesn't include chances and think of impossible situations; otherwise, even with all that luck on your side, you would still end up dead."

Orion nodded.

At that moment, his body began to dissipate little by little.

"It looks like your time has come," Isis said. "Go and be sure to become stronger as soon as possible."

Orion nodded before his body fully dissipated into nothingness.

"I really want to know what he saw in his vision," she said to herself as she looked at the stars twinkling in the darkness all around her. "All those who had ever seen those visions tried their whole lives, their very best, but couldn't change the outcome they had seen. It was as if fate had shown them how they would die and given them all the powers to change that possible outcome, only to die the same way as in the vision. It was as if trying to change those possible outcomes led to the very outcome one wanted to avoid the most. What an ironic fate it is."

"Forgive me for lying to you, Orion, but I wonder if you can change your fate," she thought to herself. "I wonder if I can change my fate... I have done according to what was asked in the prophecy. I have done my job. Now it's your turn, Orion—your turn to fulfill your end of the prophecy."
