Chapter 1

It was a typical day in the bustling city of New Alexandria, the sun shone brightly overhead as people went about their daily business. But little did they know that something extraordinary was brewing in the shadows.

I had always felt like there was something missing from my life, a sense of purpose that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. That all changed when I stumbled upon a mysterious artifact deep within the city’s underground tunnels. It was an ancient text, bound in leather and adorned with strange symbols. As soon as I touched it, I felt a surge of energy coursing through my veins.

Over the next few weeks, I spent every waking moment studying the text, learning its secrets and mastering its power. And then, one fateful night, I received a vision - a glimpse into a future where the world was torn apart by chaos and destruction. In this vision, I saw myself standing at the forefront of the battlefield, wielding the power of fate itself to guide humanity towards a brighter tomorrow.

With newfound determination, I set out to fulfill my destiny.

Marcus had always been a curious man, never content to accept the hand he was dealt. So, when he found himself face to face with the three Fates, he knew he had to make a move. The Fates, known as Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, were powerful goddesses who controlled the threads of destiny for all mortals. They sat before him, their eyes gleaming with a knowing light, as if they could see into his very soul.

“What do you want from us?” Clotho asked, her voice like silk and steel.

Marcus swallowed hard, trying to find his voice. “I want to marry all of you,” he said, his heart pounding in his chest.

The Fates exchanged a look that made his blood run cold. “We have never married a mortal before,” Lachesis said, her tone dripping with disdain. “Why would we choose you?”

But Marcus was not deterred. He knew that he had something special to offer them, something that would make them take notice. “I can give you something no other mortal can,” he said, a sly smile spreading across his face. “I can give you love.”

Atropos raised an eyebrow. “Love? What kind of love?”

Marcus leaned forward, his voice taking on a persuasive tone. “The kind that is pure and true, untainted by selfish desires or ulterior motives. I have loved only once before, and it ended in tragedy. But I know that my love is strong enough to overcome even death itself.”

The Fates looked at each other, then back at Marcus. And to his surprise, he saw a glimmer of interest in their eyes. “Very well,” Clotho said, her voice softer than before. “We will grant you your wish, but on one condition: you must prove your love to us, and to the world.”

Marcus nodded eagerly, his heart racing with excitement. He knew that this was his chance to show the Fates what true love really meant. And so, he set out on a journey to prove his devotion, facing challenges and obstacles along the way. But no matter what came his way, he never wavered, always keeping his heart open and his spirit pure.

Marcus had always been a mortal, living a simple life in a small village at the edge of the forest. He spent his days working as a farmer and his nights dreaming of adventure and glory. But despite his humble existence, he harbored a secret desire - to prove his worth to the three Fates who ruled over the universe.
