Collateral Luck

For twenty-seven years, Gael's life has been the punchline of a cosmic joke. If there was a one percent chance of something going wrong, it went wrong for him one hundred percent of the time. Broke, with no future, and used to being the universe's punching bag, his only rule for survival was to keep his head down. Until a mathematical error in the office of the goddesses of Destiny injects him with an overdose of pure luck, altering his reality forever. Overnight, Gael becomes statistically untouchable. ATMs spit out fortunes for him, muggers neutralize themselves in ridiculous ways, and casinos collapse under his bets. But luck isn't created out of thin air; it's stolen. He soon discovers the Law of Equivalent Exchange: for every improbable miracle that saves or enriches him, a misfortune of identical proportions wreaks havoc on those around him. And far from feeling guilty, Gael decides to use this "collateral damage" as a surgical weapon to take over the city. However, breaking the fundamental balance of reality comes with a price. Moros, the relentless god of Fatal Destiny, has noticed the anomaly and is ready to send his Hounds of Destiny to erase Gael from existence. Armed only with his cynicism and a shield of infinite probabilities, the luckiest human in the world is about to declare war on death itself. And this time, he isn't about to lose.
