Lord of the Karmic Fate

Luna's smile widened when she heard her brother's words before she put the bell away and asked, "Should we go then?"

"Not yet. There is something I want to check." Raven shook his head and turned around, walking toward seemingly the center of the Realm Domain.

Luna, obviously was confused but still walked after him, somewhat also curious to see where Raven wished to go.

While walking through the hallways Raven enhanced both Avatar Flasks he bought and drank before allocating his 9 Avatar Points; 2 to his Mystique, 4 to his Strength, and 3 to his Speed.

Like this, he was able to finally push all his Traits above 60 points while also reaching Rank 9!

~~~

° Vitality: 65 [0]

° Mystique: 60 [5]

° Strength: 70 [0]

° Speed: 90 [6]

° Constitution: 81 [6]

° Dexterity: 60 [0]

"Your strength is just ridiculous..." Luna exclaimed out loud, her voice holding both a hint of awe and jealousy.

"Maybe among other humans, yes, it is ridiculously high and I can be considered as an invincible being. However, considering I was almost killed by another being just by a single stomp, they are nothing but mere numbers, a joke." Raven stated indifferently as he opened his status and checked the two newly obtained Avatar Titles.

"If I truly wish to become strong, I need even more than this."

Whoosh!

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

Cough!

After reaching the end of the description, Raven almost stumbled and choked on his own saliva, forcing him to halt his steps.

"W-WHAT!?" blurting out with shock, Raven read both Titles' descriptions once again, even closing his eyes for several seconds and opening them, feeling as if he was hallucinating.

Even Luna beside him looked flabbergasted, her small cherry lips closing and opening as if she was a little fish.

"You see what I see, right?"

"Um..."

"So we are not seeing an illusion nor are we hallucinating, right?"

"N-No..."

"..."

"..."

Both Raven and Luna stood motionlessly next to each other, looking at two floating panels before their line of sights with faces full of disbelief.

Then, as if thinking about something, Raven quickly equipped the second Title and opened his Avatar Status, checking something.

[Rune Mark: True Heir's Resolve]

• Grade: Arcane (Temporary)

• Description: During a fierce battle against someone above your Rank, 5 random Avatar Traits of yours get increased by +50!

---------

"Holy... f*ck!" Raven mumbled with utter disbelief, slowly feeling as if a headache was starting to assault his brain.

Both Titles were just simply too overpowered, so much that it made him invincible among humans!

Not only is his Traits got increased by 20 points passively and another 10 actively if he fought thanks to his Blessed Prodigy Title, but he would even gain another extra 50 points for almost all of his Traits if he were to fight someone above him in Rank!

That was 7 Ranks! He could jump 8 Rank under one single second and he didn't even talk about his Death Defier Title which if his life was pushed to the brink of death will cause his Traits to double!

"This is just ridiculous..." Raven mumbled, swallowing nervously before a grin slowly crept its way up onto his face.

Slap~!

"H-Hey! Why did you hit me?" surprised to see how his little sister slapped him in the back of his head, Raven glared at her with a deep frown, looking at her questioningly.

Luna, just stared at Raven in silence before she crossed her arms just below her bosom and said, "Just a little slap back to reality."

"Slap back to reality?" Raven raised a brow, but soon enough seemed to understand her little sister's thoughts.

She was right. Although it was great that he had gained more strength, it didn't mean he was invincible. In fact, it was far from that.

Just like how he almost lost his life when he faced that Guardian during the Special Event despite being stronger than other humans, he could still end up dying with his current, seemingly ridiculous strength if he happened to face a stronger foe than that statue.

And that is why, just because he gained a little strength, it didn't mean he should start to behave cocky or arrogant. No, it was, in fact, the complete opposite of it; he should stay humble with a collected head.

As he thought about this, Raven closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Thank you."

Seeing that the 'I am so full of myself' grin was wiped off his face, Luna giggled softly and lowered her arms before following after Raven.

The two walked through several hallways and after walking for close to 20 minutes they finally reached the middle section of the Realm Domain where the Realm Core was located.

"Milady, Young Master... What brings the two of you here?" the two recruits that were ordered to stay on guard around the Realm Core quickly straightened their posture and looked at Luna and Raven.

Walking before the two, Raven looked at the spot where the two corpses of the beasts had been and said, "We are here to collect the Realm Core."

The two recruits looked at each other and a few seconds later both of them shrugged and took a step to the side, giving enough space for Raven to approach the floating orb inside the small altar.

[The whole Realm Domain had been cleared!]

[The Preliminary Realm Core is ready to Evolve!]

[Will you collect it or initiate its Evolution?]

[Warning! If you wish to collect it, the Realm Domain will collapse and vanish!]

Three different panels popped up before Raven the very second he touched the floating orb, feeling its emanating warmness on his skin.

Then, after enjoying the warm sensation around his hand, Raven nodded and decided to initiate the Realm Core's Evolution.

Whoosh!

In a blink, all four of them were teleported outside the Realm Domain, while the barrier of it began to light up and pulsate with deep crimson light, quickly attracting any attention from the Black Moon Guild.

"What is happening here?" running beside Raven and Luna together with other members of the Black Moon Guild, Thomas stared at the pulsating crimson barrier with a grave facade and a hint of worry.

"The Domain is evolving, just like last time," Raven explained calmly and watched as the pulsating began to slow down while the crimson color began to fade away bit by bit.

[Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the Realm Domain and it had undergo Evolution!]

[Realm Domain successfully Evolved from Advanced Phase to True Phase!]

After that, everything became normal once again.

'That's it?' Raven felt a little disappointed when he didn't see a gate into another world, just as Dinas told him, and sighed a little.

"Care to explain to me what happened here exactly?" Thomas looked at Raven and Luna, from which the former quickly explained Thomas everything, obviously missing out on the part where they have collected his rewards earned from the Special Event and his little travel back to the Backrooms.

"I see..." Thomas sighed, feeling somewhat relaxed before he looked at the two guards and stated with gravity, "From now on, until either Master Dan or I don't say so, no one is allowed to enter this Domain. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" both recruits saluted with respect and after bowing politely they walked away.

"This also applies to the two of you." Thomas shifted his gaze at Raven and Luna, his eyes scarcely narrowed.

Of course, the reason why he was so strict all of a sudden was understandable for obvious reasons. After all, now that the Realm Domain has evolved once again, it was completely unknown just how dangerous it was to enter.

And for that reason, until they didn't understand what changed in there, it was a must to prohibit others from entering the Realm Domain, no matter what!
