SlightlySane

Octavius, misled by friends, embarks on a quest to clear his father's name, ultimately facing a tragic end with his sister. Their journey results in devastating loss, leaving him powerless and yearning for revenge against those who harmed his family.

Spirits, known as the Fates, offer him a chance to reincarnate, but he refuses, averting an isekai fate. Instead, he discovers that his old body now hosts the 4th Fate, a being discarded and betrayed by his own kin. This ancient deity seeks revenge against those who wronged him. Octavius, fueled by his own desire for retribution, decides to coexist with the entity. He believed in the saying- to defeat a monster, you have to be twice as monstrous.

This unholy alliance crosses the shadowy path of revenge, their identities blurring, secrets unraveling, and the line between savior and monster fading. 

This is a tale of darkness and redemption, where justice is a blade, and revenge is the only way forward.

The Phantom’s Gambit

I stared down at the window wondering if it would be wise to jump down in a bit to escape from whatever looming doom that awaited me and this house hold because of me.

But it was too far off from the ground. I certainly wouldn't make it without dislocating a vital organ. That is- if I make it at all.

"Where do I run to?" I turned to Charley who was seated on the floor next to Imelda's bed, clutching his wounded stomach.

"You should have thought of that before you pushed the knife deep-"

"Only because you asked me to!" I spat in defense.

Charley groaned presumably not having much strength to throw a fist at me about who said this and who didn't.

I was a bit concerned. I had just met them and now I have to leave again. But it was for their own safety.

"Don't think I'm letting go of you just yet, Aurora." Imelda turned to me. "I will find you."

As threatening as that sounded I found it sensual.
