Read chapter 7 of Orion The Fallen God by AltexTV on NovelPedia.

Beyond time, beyond space and beyond destiny itself, there exists a place untouched by the natural flow of existence. A realm where the laws of the universe bend and the future of every living thing is written long before it ever comes to pass. This place is known as the Realm of Fate. Floating within an endless cosmic void, a fractured island of ancient stone drifted in silence, it's surface worn by ages long forgotten. At its center stood five towering pillars arranged in a perfect circle, each radiating a distinct glow. Blue, crimson, violet, gold, and black. Their light pulsing softly as if breathing alongside the universe itself. From these pillars stretched countless glowing strands that wove outward into the infinite expanse, forming a vast, intricate web of light. These were the threads of fate, each one representing a destiny already written, connecting every world, every life, and every moment that had ever existed. With every action taken across the cosmos, the strands would shift and tremble, weaving themselves into new patterns as existence continued to unfold. Standing at the edge of the floating island was a young warrior—Renku. His silver hair shimmered faintly beneath the glow of the threads, their light reflecting in his green eyes as he gazed across the pillars and the endless web stretching into the stars beyond. The strands moved slowly, gracefully, like living rivers of light drifting through eternity. This place never ceases to amaze me, he thought quietly, his attention fixed on the ever-moving tapestry before him. "Renku… it has been a while." A voice echoed through the realm, it was calm, ancient, and familiar. Renku turned at once. Before him, several strands of fate began to glow brighter, their golden light gathering and condensing into form. Slowly, the outline of a figure emerged, solidifying into a tall being cloaked in black and gold garments that shimmered like starlight. His long silver hair flowed gently behind him, and at the center of his chest burned a radiant star, its light pulsing in harmony with the threads. Renku's gaze sharpened as he spoke. "God of Fate…" The being regarded him with quiet indifference, his amber eyes glowing with calm, immeasurable power. "You have come seeking answers about Valak." the God asked. Renku stepped forward, his expression tightening. "I need to understand why he turned," he said, his voice steady but weighted with emotion. "If I know the reason… then maybe I can still save him." For a brief moment, the threads around them shimmered faintly, reacting to the conviction in his words. "Renku," the God of Fate replied, his tone unwavering, "you already understand that it is forbidden to interfere with fate." Yet Renku did not hesitate. His hands clenched at his sides as he met the god's gaze. "Valak is a brother to me," he said more quietly now, though his resolve did not waver. "I will save him… no matter the cost." At those words, the surrounding strands trembled more violently, as though his defiance had sent ripples through the very foundation of the realm. The God of Fate turned his gaze toward the towering pillars, his expression unreadable. "Valak's turn was not foreseen by fate," he stated. Renku froze, the weight of those words striking him harder than any blade. "Fate is impartial," the god continued, his voice calm yet absolute. "It exists to maintain balance, nothing more, nothing less." The threads drifted slowly across the sky like glowing constellations, their movements steady despite the tension in the air. "Only a Fate Breaker can defy what has already been written." explained the God. Renku blinked, the term unfamiliar. "A Fate Breaker…?" he questioned. The God of Fate's gaze shifted toward the infinite web stretching across the cosmos. "A Fate Breaker is an anomaly… an existence that should never have come into being, yet somehow did. Such beings possess the ability to alter fate itself, reshaping not only their own destiny but the destin
