Lord of the Karmic Fate

'...Huh?'

Perplexed, Raven stared at the two floating panels in his line of sight for a few seconds before he watched with utter disbelief as his two Artifacts, both his dice and coin appeared before him and...

Exploded with blinding golden light!

"Ah!"

"What!?"

"H-Hey! What is happeni-, Fuck!"

With surprised cries, everyone in the vehicle subconsciously closed their eyes while Thomas without any hesitation stomped on the brake to avoid steering into the opposite lane and causing accidents!

However, although they have successfully avoided tragedy to happen, a single accident that Raven didn't foresee in time still happened.

With a speed and force that was similar to a cannonball, the moment the car came to an abrupt halt Raven's figure, who forgot to fasten his seat belt, flew forward and slammed into the seat before him, head first.

Bam!

"Urg...Fu..ck...ing shit... My neck..."

For the first time in a very long time, Raven cursed out loud while silently he blamed himself for this misfortune.

On the other hand, Old Dan, Thomas, and Luna, once the light finally seemed to vanish from the vehicle all looked at Raven on the ground with a startle, the latter even panicking a little and helping him up.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Though, thank you." Raven sighed as he massaged his now sore neck, feeling a little lucky that his spine didn't break just now.

"What was that just now? Where did that light come from?"

After making sure everyone was safe and no one was heavily hurt, Thomas looked behind, his gaze mainly on Raven. Although he didn't really see what happened, from the rearview window he saw the shape of the coin that belonged to him.

"I..." Raven was a little confused also as he didn't know either, however, the next second a small panel appeared in his line of sight.

[Your Artifacts had been successfully upgraded!]

"Upgrade?" Luna and the rest were confused when they saw the panel and glanced at Raven questioningly.

"Don't look at me like that. Seeing something like this is also the first for me!" Raven expressed and quickly summoned both of his Artifacts into his hands and checked their description.

[True Artifact: Fortune's Coin]

• Grade: Legendary

• Form: Complete

• Description: An ancient Artifact with a hint of fate that had been shattered and abandoned by its previous owner in the past for a greater purpose!

<You need to flip the coin to gain access to its abilities!>

~~~

• Fortune's Blessed Domain: After flipping the coin and it lands on the golden side, the following effects will be applied within the Domain;

-> All of your Traits will be increased by 50 points!

-> Your Luck within the domain will be temporarily increased if you have no Luck-associated powers/abilities. However, if you have, then those will be enhanced instead!

• Fortune's Cursed Domain: After flipping the coin and it lands on the golden side, the following effects will be applied within the Domain;

-> All Traits of those who are within your domain will be decreased by 50 points!

-> The Luck of your enemies within the domain will be temporarily decreased if they have no Luck-associated powers/abilities. However, if they have, then those will be weakened instead!

<Each Domain consumes 1,000 Mystique per second and can be deactivated at will anytime!>

<Warning! If the Domain gets deactivated, you have to flip the coin once again!>

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

Raven felt completely stupified when he finished reading the description of both of his Artifacts.

"So is this what Artifact Resonance causes?" Raven sucked in a mouthful of air before his shock turned into awe then into excitement.

10%! 10%!!!

That literally meant his every tenth throw will be a permanent Relic, each on the Arcane Grade! And not only that, but every time he throws his dice, he will now have a 5% chance to throw again instead of 0.5%!

Furthermore, if he used his Fortune's Coin before he used his first Artifact, that two % will very likely rise once again! After all, they were associated with Luck, right?

'Also...'

When Raven thought about his second Artifact, he couldn't help but swallow a huge and look at it with eyes filled with excitement.

That thing was still at the Legendary Grade, for god's sake! Yet, it was already this powerful! Just how powerful an item will it become once he raises its Grade?

Luckily, he still had 5 Middle Piece Artifacts, which was more than enough for him to raise its Grade to Arcane and its Form to Complete!

'Let's find it out then.' Raven thought and without any hesitation, under the watchful eyes of his family, he broke 3 Middle Piece Artifact Crystals right above his Fortune's Coin.

Whoosh!

'Two new abilities and lessened requirement for my Domain to keep functioning. Perfect!'

Now Raven truly felt joy rushing through his body, and could hardly resist the urge to jump out of the vehicle right there and then to find a Realm Domain to test his new Artifact out.

But unfortunately, he couldn't. Not only because they were currently in the middle of nowhere, but also because he had to do something first before he could finally start completing missions and clear Realms.

"Thomas, everything is fine so let's go home." Raven sighed softly, to which Thomas glanced at Old Dan questioning who just nodded.

"Okay."

"Hey, are you sure this is a good idea? After all, they think you are dead."

Leaning against the trunk of a large tree with her charming body, Luna stared at her brother's figure with a soft frown on her face.

"Don't worry, it's fine," Raven asserted with confidence as he currently was sitting on the ground while typing on a small laptop with his fingers.

"Also, the items I wish to sell are way too renowned, everyone can easily recognize them just with a glance."

"I know, but..." Luna sighed and shook her head gently, "I still think it's a little risky. What if they will decide to track you back?"

"That's why we have decided to come here instead of doing it inside." Raven showed a faint smile and raised his head, staring at the breathtaking scenery both below and before him.

'Beautiful...'

Raven expressed his thoughts silently as he sat calmly at the edge of a cliff before he shifted his attention back to the screen of his laptop on his lap.

Then, after typing on his keyboard for several seconds, he took a deep breath, and with a serious face, he nodded and pressed enter.

"Here we go..."

Whoosh!
