You, as the chosen one, will have to save the world from “the bad guys”. Would you succeed or fail? Or join the dark side? Would you try so hard that you become corrupted by evil?
My answer: I’d fail and the universe is fucked because I’m just a pile of sadness. 😓
The wheel of time did extremely well with that. The pattern (the world’s version of fate) allows people to make choices, but certain people have the circumstances around them adjusted, forcing them on to certain paths.
