Lord of the Karmic Fate

Chapter 23 Realm Shop (1)

Raven was surprised the moment the two magic panels popped up before his face but quickly calmed down and examined them.

'One of my traits broke beyond 10 points so I became a Rank 1?' Raven raised a brow before a rough guess appeared in his head.

"So one gets their Rank increased after every 10 points?" standing beside Raven Luna mumbled quietly which was the exact same thing Raven thought about.

"So far, it seems so." Raven nodded before mumbling, "Though, I wonder what will happen if two Traits get beyond 10 points. Will my Rank increase once again or do I need to reach 20 points to reach Rank 2?"

"Well, it seems we have to find it out." Luna smiled sweetly to which Raven nodded and quickly made the panels vanish.

"Will you also use that?"

Glancing at the small crystal which was able to increase his Artifact's Form by one, Raven pondered silently before shaking his head.

"No, not know."

"Why?" Luna tilted her head slightly to the side as she felt a little confused. Raven just consumed two bottles that increased to Traits of his but he won't use the crystal now?

However, Raven just shook his head helplessly and quickly explained to Luna that his Artifact was a little special and at the moment he can't use the small crystal.

"Is that so?" Luna hummed quietly while curiosity flashed within her eyes but decided not to ask.

"Esteemed Guests, please welcome Master Bai."

While putting the crystal into his pocket and throwing a piece of chocolate into his mouth from the table beside him, suddenly the door on the side opened and a man wearing a luxurious black suit walked in with two bodyguards following behind him.

The man looked rather young despite Raven knowing that he was around his mid-fifties. His short, scarcely gray hair was worn in a bun while within his slightly deep nut-brown eyes nothing else was visible but deep wisdom, which, naturally, for someone like the head of the United World League was a fundamental trait to have!

Bai Feng looked at all the faces in the hall, his eyes halting on Old Dan's figure with a surprise for a second or two before glancing at the young maid beside him who nodded gently and took a step forward.

"Everyone, please those who hear their name follow me and Master Bai to the other hall." after saying that the young maid took out a small paper from her pocket and started to list names one after another.

Raven watched calmly as people started to walk toward the entrance in confusion, including Old Dan, Lucas, and Darwin but not him and Luna.

"This is all." the maid lowered her hand and glancing at the few individuals whose names were not called she quickly said, "Those who did not hear their name can stay for a little while longer here but please make sure to leave the Star Palace in an hour from now on."

Several people looked dissatisfied and seemingly irritated by these changes, but as President Bai was present they could only swallow their words and silently walk out of the hall.

"Thomas, please bring them to the nearest hotel." placing a small golden card into his butler's hand, Old Dan patted Thomas on his shoulder before glancing at Raven and Luna for a second and walking away.

"Young Master Raven, Lady Luna, I assume it is time for us to leave."

Raven and Luna nodded hearing Thomas' words but before following after him Raven still made sure to stuff a few pieces of cookies into his mouth and an extra few into his pocket just in case he will get hungry.

However, obviously, the moment he reached the hall's exit he was stopped by a guard who requested him to hand the cookies over as it was prohibited to take them away which although sounded ridiculous Raven could do nothing but obey.

"We will stay here until Master Dan won't arrive." once driving through several streets for half an hour and reaching a tall building, Thomas led the two youngsters inside.

"Welcome to Nova Star Resort, how can I help you?" behind the desk, a beautiful lady with long brown hair and a stylish white uniform stood with a charming smile on her face as she asked.

"I would like to rent a room for a night," Thomas said as he handed the golden card to the lady.

"This..." the lady's eyes widened upon seeing the card and the symbol on it but quickly regained her composure and nodded.

"Understood. Please wait a second." the lady said before she walked away and after two minutes came back with another woman on her side.

"Her name is Dorothy. She will escort you to your rooms so please follow her."

"Please, this way." Dorothy gestured toward the three to follow and quickly brought them onto the highest floor within the hotel where a single room was located.

In fact, the whole floor was a single room, filled with numerous luxurious items and objects that each could be sold for several thousand Novas alone!

"Young Master Raven, Lady Luna, I will go and buy some food. Until then please stay here. Also, if you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to call me." Thomas looked at the two in front of him.

"Sure." Raven nodded softly and watched silently as Thomas walked out of the room.

However, not even three seconds after the door closed, the very thing Raven felt was someone jumping on his body from behind, causing him to topple over and fall on the wide and long sofa in front of him.

"You... And what do you think you are doing, Lulu?" feeling the light weight of Luna's body on his back while he lay on his stomach, Raven looked over his shoulder only to see Luna looking at him with a teasing smile on her beautiful face.

"I. Got. You. Now!" Luna spoke slowly word by word as she raised her hands while wiggling her delicate finger and once she finished talking she swing her hands, starting to tickle Raven by his waist.

"H-Hey! What... Haha! S-Stop! Haha!" being a ticklish person, Raven couldn't even last a second before he started to laugh and struggle to stop Luna.

"Hehe~! I will stop if you sa- Kya!" Luna was ready to tease Raven a little when suddenly a Raven spun around below her and placed his hands on her waist.

This surprised Luna and her gem-like eyes widened immediately while her fingers stopped tickling for a second. Raven, of course, lived with this golden opportunity and quickly did a counter-attack, pushing Luna down and starting to tickle her instead.

"Haney! ha! W-wai-, Haha! Wait! No, please wai-"

"Nope. You were the one who started this war, so now suffer!" Raven said with a devilish smile and without any mercy began to tickle Luna who was twice if not thrice as sensitive to tickling as him!

And just like this, the two quickly immersed themselves in their little clash in the room, trying to force the other party to admit defeat.

However, after ten straight minutes of "fighting" and just as Raven was about to push her little sister on the verge of admitting defeat, suddenly the whole room started to shake and something engulfed in white light started to take shape in the middle of the living room out of thin air!

This naturally attracted the attention of both Raven and Luna on the sofa, the latter's upper body half-hung from the edge of the sofa while her lower half was held by the former one by the waist to prevent her from falling and hitting her head on the floor below.
