Lucas lost everything. His abusive father pushed his mother to the brink of death. His younger sister turned into a chip for blackmailing and lost her life. Left alone in the world without his loved ones, he decided to end his life to meet them in the afterlife.

Instead of dying, Lucas was born as a baby without his past memories in a world of cultivation. He had a loving family of mother and older sister. Even without his memories, as Lucas grew up, he knew in his heart that he had to protect his family from all the evils and strived to become stronger.

With his growth, Lucas occasionally started to see many heart-rending visions, which affected him greatly and affected the way he looked at others, including his family. The revelations shocked him. He couldn't trust anyone, even his once close family and friends.

What were those visions? How will Lucas cope with the unsettling revelations and his chaotic feelings?
Will he become estranged or strengthen his bonds with his family and friends and gain the love and warmth that he once longed for.

Read from the perspective of Lucas and join him on his journey of growth, acceptance and love.

***
The prologue of the novel (the first 2 chapters) is tragic and hard to digest but HOLD ON!
Do read at least the first 10 chapters before deciding to drop off.


Note: No Gender-Bender, Yuri, NTR and Rape.

Shards of the Broken Heart

The lieutenant became slack-jawed for a second due to the surprise and shame of his wrong presumption. Still, he regained his bearings back and smiled as we shook hands.

"My apologies Mr. Nethan, for not distinguishing you."

"It's okay, Lieutenant Xenox. This person here is my first mate and is the most remarkable and dependable person on my ship. For him to have caught your attention first is a testament to his capabilities."

I admired the way this lieutenant acted, straightforward and sincere, without many flowery words. So, it was better to pave the way for him out of the embarrassing situation than unnecessarily berating him.

"You indeed have a capable confidante, Mr. Nethan. But I would also like to meet all of your remaining crew members. It would make the inspection easy for both of us."
