By Dave Higgins & Simon Cantan
Origin by Dave Higgins & Simon Cantan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Some people are born to advantage, privilege. Edmond was born to village idiots who put all his skill points into Luck. They knew an opportunity to win the lottery when they saw it.

Edmond doesn't want to be a winning ticket. He dreams of becoming a great hero and scholar. Impossible goals when your Intelligence and Wisdom stats couldn't be lower.

Is Edmond nothing but a walking rabbit's foot? Will his parents' dreams of easy fortune come true? It's all just a lucky roll away.

“A good plot, some good humor, and a fun world where people get to assign their children stats at birth.”

About Dave Higgins

Dave Higgins writes speculative fiction, often with a dark edge. Despite forays into the mundane worlds of law and IT, he was unable to completely escape the liminal zone between mystery and horror. A creature of contradictions, he also co-writes comic sci-fi with Simon Cantan.

Born in the least mystically significant part of Wiltshire, England, and raised by a librarian, he started reading shortly after birth and has not stopped since. He currently lives in Bristol with his wife, Nicola, his cats, Jasper and Una, a plush altar to the Dark Lord Cthulhu, and many shelves of books.

It’s rumoured he writes out of a fear that he will otherwise run out of things to read.
