Lord of the Karmic Fate

Raven smiled faintly and shifted his gaze at the two individuals before him.

"Don't worry, this injury is nothing. It will be gone in a day or two."

The young woman, looking at the long wound on Raven's right hand wished to say something, but when her gaze met Raven's she decided to remain silent and just nod.

On the other hand, the man shook his head and quickly took out a small card from his pocket.

"Still, we can't let you go away with empty hands. Here, this is a VIP card with which you can eat in our restaurant with a great discount."

"No, I can't-"

"Please." the man interrupted Raven, who when seeing his serious and reluctant face of his had no other choice but to accept the card with a sigh.

The items such as this card he got in the past 8 hours were simply uncountable.

'At least my Cursed Luck Avatar Imprint turns out to be not useless at all.' Raven smiled secretly before he said, "Thank you. Though, if I'm already here I hope I can use this if not a problem. I'm starving, to be honest."

"What? A problem? Of course not! To show that we are truly sorry for what happened, today you can eat for free!" the man stated without hesitation.

"Really? But I... Well, I eat a lot." Raven smiled sheepishly.

"That's not a problem at all!" the man smiled and gestured toward Raven to follow after him.

"Well, then if you excuse me..."

And after that, Raven spent several hours in the restaurant, filling his stomach with numerous plates of food which dumbfounded both the young woman and the owner of the place.

"Whew... That was heavenly!" Raven patted his stomach as he exited the building, his face holding a satisfied grin.

"That man definitely had regretted giving you that card after seeing your appetite," Astra spoke quietly once they were far away.

"Maybe. However, he was the one who said I can eat as much as I can, so it's his fault."

"But that does not mean you should take advantage of his kindness." Astra snorted with disdain.

"First of all, I have not taken advantage of his kindness, I have warned him. Secondly, I have left a tip there so I'm fine no matter what you say."

'...'

Astra stared at Raven from his shadows in silence and after another snort, she decided not to talk anymore.

On the other hand, Raven just shrugged and walked back home.

"Welcome back, Young Master. Lady Luna and Master Wright have gone to Nova City to take care of a few matters."

"I see. Thank you for informing me, Thomas." Raven smiled kindly and walked up into his room before closing his door and sitting down at the edge of his bed.

"Now then... It should be time." Raven mumbled and waved his hand, summoning 4 flasks before him.

Those four flasks were the remaining Mix Flasks he had yet to consume.

Looking at the colorful flasks for a few seconds Raven took a deep breath and opened their lids, pouring their contents into his mouth without hesitation.

[Congratulations! You have increased all of your Avatar Traits beyond 400 points!]

[Congratulations! You will be now given your fifth Avatar Imprint!]

The familiar sensation of something within him getting ablaze, burning every muscle, fiber, and cell in his body appeared only to be washed away by a cool sensation after a few seconds.

[Congratulations! Avatar Imprint: Fortune Seeker acquired!]

Whoosh!

---------------

[Avatar Imprint: Fortune Seeker]

• Layer: Fifth

• Description: A power born from your past deeds, your gained Class, and the awakened yet still lingering potential within your blood!

~~~

[Effects]

° Fortuneless Blessing: Whenever misfortune falls on you the amount of Luck Energy you gain will be doubled!

° Fortuity: The chances of things happening around you increase, let it be fortune or misfortune. Also, the amount of Mystique needed for your Luck Enhancement to be activated gets decreased greatly.

° Eyes of Fortune: Your eyes now can faintly discern the chances of others' actions.

<Warning! Effect 'Eyes of Fortune' can be activated for 1 second and has a cooldown of 24 hours!>

---------------

'...What!?'

Raven's eyes widened with shock and quickly read through the description to make sure he didn't miss a thing.

And it seemed, he didn't.

'Fortuneless Blessing and Fortuity... These two skills definitely appeared because of the number of times I used his Luck Enhancement. But Eyes of Fortune?'

A frown appeared on Raven's face before realization flashed through his eyes.

'So that's why...' Raven thought silently and his gaze fell on the first part of the description.

...A power born from your past deeds.

Although he had seen this description numerous times already, only now did he seem to understand its true meaning wholly.

It seems that the inscription didn't only mean his abilities would evolve and become stronger the more he used them, but that if he utilized them in unique ways his next Avatar Imprints could give birth to other skills that although having similarities to his previous ones, in truth, had a completely different purpose.

Just like his Eyes of Fortune. It functioned on the basics of chances and luck, just like his Luck Enhancement or his Luck Energy Regeneration, but this one allowed him to fight in a completely different manner.

The only downside of this skill was, however...

'Can be activated for only 1 second? And its cooldown is a whole day?' Raven frowned deeply.

Why did this skill have such a pathetically short duration and did it have such a long cooldown?

'Could it be that because I have only used that method once?' Raven caressed his chin as he pondered before he sighed and shook his head.

'Well, at least if it has such a long cooldown it must be strong? Right?'

However, there was no one around to answer his question. No, even if there would have been any, they still would have failed to give him a proper answer as not only was Raven's situation completely different from others, as he was someone who had Celestial Blood flowing through his veins, but he was also the only one on the whole Earth who successfully gained his fifth Avatar Imprint.

Yes!

Not even the strongest individual on Earth who surpassed the 60th Rank had all his Trait above 400 which was a known fact!

'This, however, will surely bring headaches in the future...' Raven sighed helplessly as he looked outside of his window.

Indeed, now that all of his Traits were above 400 with his Rank reaching Rank 52 even though he was just at Rank 43 a few days ago, people will start suspecting him.

Especially the Realm Association. If he were not careful enough and people find out he could increase his Rank as if it was nothing, they will definitely investigate him which was the last thing he wished for. After all, he was sure if things reach that point the Realm Association will use people with special powers or items to interrogate him.

'Now that I think about it, what happened with my evaluation result? Had it been announced officially?'

Curious, Raven opened his phone and checked out the Realm Association's online server. However, just as he thought, when he searched for his name except for his basic data such as his date of birth, name, and completed missions, he found nothing.

'Considering my Character Rank, it is no wonder. If the Realm Families would find out there is a sixth SS Ranked individual with a special Role they would definitely do anything in their power to acquire me. Hell, even war breaking out because of me could happen!'

With that in thought, Raven took a mental note to make sure not to showcase his true strength if it was not necessary and stood up with a big yawn.

"It had been a long day... I should get some rest."

And just like that, after taking a quick shower Raven jumped into his bed and didn't climb out of it until it was 12 the following day.

"What are your plans for today?" finishing her breakfast, Luna looked at Raven beside her who stuffed his seventh plate of scrambled egg into his mouth.

"Hm?" hearing the question Raven quickly swallowed the food from his mouth and after pondering for a second or two replied, "I will go and practice my combat skills."

"Then I will come with you." Luna smiled sweetly to which Raven just nodded and kept eating.

And the following few days went by just like that, with Raven doing nothing but practicing and refining his combat skills while occasionally spending a few hours to generate more Luck Energy.

And in a flash, the time for what everyone awaited finally came.

The auction for the Ghost Trident finally entered its final hour, causing the remaining few individuals to start bidding with renewed frenzy once again.

As for the owner of the item, he just simply sat before the screen with a wide grin plastered all over his face, looking almost like a sly old geezer.

'Hehe... I'm rich.' Raven chuckled secretly as his eyes flickered with excitement.
