Light Novel

In a gritty urban world where dreams drown faster than the desperate, Jason Hale is a forgotten orphan with no family, no future, and now just 60 days to live. Diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, his only light is girlfriend Stephanie Scott—the woman he plans to marry before the end. But when he discovers her betrayal with a wealthy rival, despair drives him to leap into an empty hotel pool, clutching his grandfather's mysterious cross necklace. As water fills his lungs, the cross activates: a holographic system screen materializes, binding him to "Fortune's Deadline"—60 days to amass riches or perish. Complete meaningful tasks for wealth and lifespan extensions; fail, and penalties strip away time, memories, and secrets. With clear rules (no exploits, strategic growth only), hidden costs (erased pasts tying to his unknown parents), and escalating rewards (millions and months added), Jason rises from penniless delivery boy to empire-builder. But as fortune flows, betrayers close in, and the system's true source whispers of a larger conspiracy. Will Jason rewrite his fate, reclaim his love, and uncover his orphan origins before the clock hits zero? In this high-stakes progression tale of empowerment and suspense, every decision buys time—or buries it forever.

“You don't deserve this throne. Your birth was nothing more than a mistake by my late husband, so don't think any more of yourself. But if you still want to be King, then go into the territories and kingdoms outside Griffindale and build your army of followers and allies from scratch. Whenever you feel like you have amassed a huge following enough to seize the throne away from me, then you can come back to fight for it. But from now on, you are on exile.” “The throne belongs to me, Stepmother. Nevertheless, I will do as you ask. But rest assured, for what you've done, I will return—not just for my throne, but also for your head.” “While the Queen fumed with rage in her private chamber, Cyrus emerged from her quarters wearing a satisfied grin, knowing his destiny was now set in stone. He would one day become king, no matter what.” -------- This is my first novel on the platform, so my pacing and world-building aren't the best, but it gets better with time. The story is set in a medieval world, somewhere in an alternate version of ancient Europe. At first the tone focuses more on war and basic politics, but as the story progresses, there will be more magic/fantasy elements added - like dragons, witches and fables. If you enjoy the work, please consider supporting it in any way you can. Any means of support goes a long way for me and is duly appreciated. Have Fun!!!
