Twisted Fate

Twisted Fate was a master cheat, swindling a lot of money with his undetectable skills. One time, he was accidentally discovered and almost lost his life.

From then on, he lived a life on the run, but he would still gamble a few times in every casino he visited. Later, he had a big gamble in an underground casino in Bilgewater, and because he was so lucky, he was caught and thrown into the harbor.

"That was the only time I won three thousand sea serpent coins by luck without cheating, only to be tied to a stone and thrown into the sea by them."

"So you escaped using Teleportation?"

"Back then, I didn't know Teleportation..."

Twisted Fate was thrown into the sea, feeling the darkness slowly approaching and the icy water gradually losing its touch. He recalled many past events and was filled with regret.

Especially his wife Evelynn, who had always loved him and was waiting for him to return home, was unaware at this moment that her husband was about to die.

In a daze, Twisted Fate felt himself being pulled up, and after spitting out several mouthfuls of water, he finally regained consciousness.

Because of excessive tension, his vision was still a little blurry, and he even felt that the person in front of him was his wife.

Twisted Fate quickly rubbed his eyes and noticed that this person resembled his wife in figure, but was much prettier.

When he asked for the name of his savior, the woman's answer excited him even more:

Evelynn!

Aside from their physiques, even their names are very similar; Twisted Fate felt it was fate.

"I fell in love instantly, even though I knew it was unfair to my wife, but I could never control my impulses."

Twisted Fate confessed his love to Evelynn, only to be mocked by her. "You haven't even thanked me for saving your life, yet you're already in a hurry to express your love. What an interesting male."

My love for you has made me lose myself; please accept me!

"But just now you were thinking about your wife."

Evelynn's words astonished Twisted Fate. How did she know what he was thinking?

This person seems unusual, but thinking about it, how could an ordinary person appear in chaotic Bilgewater?

Twisted Fate didn't ask about her background; he had already decided that no matter who Evelynn was, he would pursue her.

Evelynn's attitude was ambiguous; she neither agreed nor refused. She told Twisted Fate that if he wanted to pursue her, he first had to become a powerful sorcerer.

Twisted Fate was greatly encouraged; instead of gambling aimlessly, he saved up a large sum of money.

He planned to give part of it to his wife, Evelynn, and the rest to the underground black market in Zaun, where there were many powerful spells that could be learned for money.

"Your wife agreed so easily? If it were me, I'd break your legs!" Riven said, expressing her opinion.

"Actually, I didn't see her. When I got home, all I found was a house full of dust and a farewell letter. She left with another man. Maybe we're all like that."

Thus, Twisted Fate was able to study magic without any distractions, but after living in Zaun for several years and spending all his money, he still hadn't learned any particularly outstanding skills.

However, he was very satisfied with the Magic Cards he had bought at a high price. These cards were very convenient, as they could be used for both entertainment and as weapons.

Later, a famous pharmacist recruited volunteers to participate in the experiment, which was free of charge.

If successful, you can gain one of the following abilities. "Teleportation Gate, Eye of Insight, or Mana Infusion". If you fail, it's simple: you will die.

Twisted Fate resolutely decided to participate in the experiment, even though no one had ever succeeded before and the mortality rate was 100%.

However, the pharmacist brought him good news: after improvements, his survival chances could now be increased by one in ten thousand.

Because the experiment required maintaining heightened senses, the process was extremely painful; Twisted Fate even thought the apothecary had turned him into a monster.

He watched helplessly as a tube of red, a tube of yellow, and a tube of blue medicine were injected into his head; the unprecedented fear and pain nearly broke him.

Before the experiment, the pharmacist had said that fainting meant death, so he persevered desperately, trying his best to focus on Evelynn's face in order to distract himself.

As her face slowly contorted in his mind, Twisted Fate finally fainted.

He thought he was going to die, but to his surprise, he was saved again. The person who saved him was Evelynn, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

The joy of their reunion made him forget his pain. Evelynn was wearing a ball gown, and her exquisite braids and headdress made her breathtakingly beautiful.

However, her complexion seemed unwell; she appeared flustered and flushed.

"You saved me again. It seems we're destined to be together."

"You might die here with me; a terrifying enemy is hunting me down."

"You just saved me, I don't want to die so soon."

"Then let me see what you've learned."

Before the experiment, the apothecary did not teach Twisted Fate how to use magic, and he did not persevere to the end, so it is unclear whether the experiment can be considered a success.

He kept fiddling with the cards in his hand, trying to decipher the mysteries of magic. For someone who believed in fate, nothing was more reliable than metaphysics.

Soon, he found himself brimming with magical power, seemingly possessing inexhaustible strength.

According to the apothecary, if the experiment is successful, he will gain one of the following abilities: teleportation portal, Eye of Insight, or Mana Infusion.

If he mastered the ability to teleport, he could take Evelynn away directly; if he mastered the ability to Eye of Insight, they could bypass the enemy.

Now that his magic power is abundant, it seems he has mastered the third type. Unfortunately, he can only fight head-on.

They were currently in a garbage dump, where the pharmacist disposed of his experimental waste. Aside from waiting for the enemy to arrive, he could only continue fiddling with the cards.

Suddenly, he noticed some clues in the intertwined patterns of the cards—it was the enemy's movement!

So he and Evelynn began to hide, and the cards' instructions were very accurate; they were able to successfully evade the enemy's pursuit every time.

It seems he's not only a lucky one whose experiment succeeded, but also an incredibly lucky one who has mastered two abilities simultaneously!

Twisted Fate was smug, but just as they were about to leave Zaun, someone blocked their way, and his card didn't reveal anything!

This is a woman with short, white hair parted in the middle beside her ears. Her slender figure and neat attire suggest that she is a ruthless and cunning person.

What's most peculiar is her legs. Her thighs are relatively normal, but below her knees, they've been replaced with two enormous steel blades, which sends chills down your spine.

When I heard this, I guessed that the person they met was Camille, the Gray Lady of Piltover.
