《Luck is a Charm》Second Chance
Advertisement
It was a normal day where Zhen just finished college while feeling like hell. He was all alone and had zero destination once college finished.
He hates this feeling the most because his loved one was killed but Zhen is smiling when he hears the news of his parent's death.
You might find him heartless but you have no idea how Zhen could care less about his so-called parents.
Instead of your imagination thinking that his parents are doing everything for his own good, they simply wanted Zhen to die because he’s a jinx.
Ever since the day of his birth, his parents went from a wealthy conglomerate to bankruptcy.
Such a boring development of how they go from rich to the poor right?
Instead of blaming themselves for being greedy on trying to ruin a person because they offended them by obtaining a huge piece of land, they went on to hire an assassin from the underworld gang to murder him.
Without much surprises, the person was killed just for his idiotic parents to find out that he's a person with a background that they can never mess with.
It was at that moment where they started getting targeted and stocks shrink straight down like a person free-falling from a skyscraper.
Unfortunately for Zhen, due to those coincidences, they labeled him as a misfortune bringer because he was born into this disgusting world at that moment.
However, Zhen disagreed with being a misfortune and thought of himself as a lucky person. If he wasn't lucky then there is something wrong because everything goes the way he wished for.
The so-called huge debt was what Zhen orchestrated to get his parents to suffer from what they treated him like so in the past.
He had never once felt warmth and all he ever got was that icy cold look from their expression telling him to die faster so they can have their luck back.
Especially, the moment he witnessed them take the one person who cared about him away from this world. Since they don't care about his existence, Zhen decided to erase them from this hypocritical world.
To achieve his motive, Zhen borrowed from multiple shark loans and used his parents as the guarantor with them being in the dark.
Before his parents were met with their accident, Zhen taunted all the shark loaners in a phone call and what do you know, he’s all alone now.
A lonely man with his luck at the top as Zhen never imagined them dying when he wished for it after the phone call ended. They were being chased left and right by those people and by running like a dummy without knowing why they're being chased.

They ran to an incoming robbery scene and got killed in a crossfire because those robbers managed to fire his AK-47 in 125m towards them. Man, his luck is insane right?
As this beautiful scene occurred, Zhen believed his stats in luck are maximum because after completing his wish, Zhen jumped off a skyscraper because he didn't have anyone left in this world to care for.
You might find him insane but being alone for your entire life and finally have someone caring about you makes you feel alive.
Now even that person is gone too, the world is simply black and grey no matter where you look.
The moment Zhen woke up from the shock of falling straight down to the ground, he found himself in another world.
Waking up painfully, Zhen said in a depressed tone, “This luck of mine is truly insane where even when I seek death, the underworld refuses to accept me.”
Without much will to live on and seeing how this is a new world, maybe it could be a new start for him.
Zhen looked around his surroundings and was mesmerized by this scene.
‘This is like a huge amazon forest and your typical clear blue sky with the sun blinding deep into your eyes. I can actually see the blue sky without those black and grey colors covering them.’
Shouting inwardly, Zhen became emotional.
Tears start flowing out of his eye since he no longer has to struggle every moment to survive on Earth.
‘For now, let's explore a bit and I'm not afraid one bit because I know something cliché will happen and the worst-case scenario would be death. I'm already seeking death so why should I be afraid of something that I'm seeking in the first place.’
With this mindset in mind, Zhen starts traveling before seeing an injured eagle in the ground.
Zhen couldn’t really say it’s an eagle since its size is huge where he is pretty sure if 5-8 people were to ride in its back, he would still be able to fly.
Those ravenous claws of his are extremely sharp but those eyes of his are the best. From what Zhen can tell, those eyes represent despair, anger, and resistance to fall down.
‘The exact same type of mine when I was still living the harsh condition due to my parents.’ Zhen can’t help but wonder if this is a coincidence.
Without overthinking much, Zhen slowly approached it and he saw a huge char mark on its wings which explained why it is on the ground and unable to fly.

Not to mention, it definitely has a huge fight before crashing down because there are scarred wounds with blood dripping down.
Based on this analysis so far, Zhen knows this is a fantasy world because there is no way this type of huge eagle existed on Earth, plus, those char and scar marks can only be done with magic and or some other weaponry type.
When Zhen is about 3m away from it, the eagle with his sharp eye stared deep into Zhen which gave a chill sensation in his body.
In reply to this, Zhen composed himself before staring right back at him with his own eyes and his eyes are something that has a threatening gaze that can shock people.
Zhen has developed this sort of eyesight to threaten those who always look at him with disdain.
If his conjecture is right and this is a fantasy world. Based on those novels Zhen read to pass time, he believed the eagle would be able to understand his words so he started speaking.
"If you can understand me then let’s form a contract. I’m pretty decent looking so being with me is my generosity toward you."
With Zhen's disregard for the eagle's feelings, he expects two outcomes.
One, he is a discarded being just like him and would wish to have someone they could call "family" or two, his conjecture was wrong and death shall await him.
Either one works to his benefit as Zhen’s heart has been broken into multiple pieces already.
‘If only I could truly find someone I love where I would risk everything for her. She always told me to be romantic.’
Thinking this, Zhen awaits his fate since being in this unknown world without any power means he’s at the bottom of the food chain.
Zhen waited patiently because he’s currently powerless and if the eagle refused the contract. Zhen knew death is just lurking and rather than waiting, he mind as well have this eagle kill him.
Meanwhile, the eagle stared at him for a good 3 seconds before asking, "Why should I form a contract with a puny human".
"Because you want someone to care for. A family member where you can trust with your back behind them."
The eagle started laughing despite his blood being sprayed everywhere and Zhen can’t help but think, 'He's a lunatic and his reaction would be mine exactly. However, it seems my outcome is situation one so I still have hope.’
While the eagle continues laughing like a lunatic, Zhen says "I'll take that as a yes, and I’m a really handsome man so your decision is the correct choice".
Zhen has dark hair and his facial features are above average. His body may not be packed with muscle but it's tone enough to look hot. If it weren't for his ‘misfortune status’, Zhen would have many females hoarding at him.
The eagle stopped laughing and spit out "Narcissistic kid that doesn’t know how lucky you are. Fine, since I’m currently wounded completely, I shall reluctantly form a contract with you. Also, you might be isolated since I’m a cursed being."
Zhen nodded his head at the eagle comment as his color is indeed not how a normal eagle should be. It has some dark red coloring in the wings and it's not due to his bleeding.
However, Zhen did not know if his previous knowledge is aligned with this fantasy world and he’s not the type to judge one’s appearance.
"Enough blabbering and just form the contract with me."
Zhen ignored his blabbering and told the eagle to form the contract so they don’t waste any more time.
Just at this moment, a magical-looking spell forms in the bottom of the ground and the eagle leans his head forward despite the injury it has, and Zhen guessed he should touch its head.
Zhen has zero knowledge of what's just happened and does not wish to overthink his brain cell. He simply brushes it off saying that he is just lucky.
Zhen reached his hand out slowly and touched the eagle's head slowly.
"Master, please give me a name."
‘Sigh, can we be more original than that at all? Why would he say something like that which is similar to those novels I kept reading until I stopped since it couldn't erase my boredom?’
Zhen shakes his head on this situation.
‘Whatever, guess we follow the cliché flow as usual’
Zhen said inwardly while saying, " Your name shall be Kuro and I'm Zhen. Let's support each other from now on".
Once Zhen finished naming the eagle as Kuro, a blinding light shot to the sky for a while before dimming down.
‘Finally, we can start this new journey with Kuro as my companion. I guess I should stop thinking about seeking death now and start to live my new life.’
Knowing how he has Kuro to defend him now, Zhen decided to enjoy his second life.

Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less).

Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).
