Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: The Fate Dice! The Person Favored! The Chosen One!

Noticing Luca's gaze, a group of shadows felt an ominous premonition rise in their hearts.

But before they could think further, they saw the golden glow of Luca's spear shine brightly in his hands.

Magnificent golden magic runes appeared in mid-air, and an overwhelming divine power descended with a mighty crash!

The Sun!

A great sun slowly rose!

Blinding golden light pierced through the mist, illuminating the entire square and the endless ruins in the darkness!

"This is my return gift to you!" In the temple, Luca's golden eyes sparkled as he smiled.

With a slight motion of his hand, the Magic Crystal Spear hovered in the air.

In an instant, the golden light erupted!

Amidst the terrified gazes of the shadows, it crashed down from the sky!

Boom!

A fierce wave of fire, carrying an unstoppable force, swept across the entire square, and the earth-shattering roar echoed far into the mist.

All the shadows were instantly engulfed by the divine fire of the Sun, as if everything was melting like snow!

-390,000! -400,000! -420,000!...

A dense array of damage numbers appeared!

At the same time, a series of kill notifications appeared before Luca.

[Ding! You have killed a Lv60 Shadow Warrior, gaining 1,250,000 experience!]

[Ding! You have killed a Lv63 Shadow Mage, gaining 1,440,000 experience!]

[Ding! You have killed a Lv65 Shadow Assassin, gaining 1,650,000 experience!]

...

The surging experience poured into Luca's body as a blinding white light.

His experience bar shot up as if riding a rocket.

In just a few breaths of time.

Four golden beams of light flashed across him.

His level leapt up four ranks, reaching level 46!

[Ding! Congratulations, you have passed the Legacy Trial and obtained the hidden class "Fate-Swapping Master"! You have gained new skills: "Fate Manipulation (Class)", "Fortune Reversal (Class)", "Fate Plundering (Class)"...]

[You have obtained the special item "Fate Dice" (Class)!]

Looking at the notifications in front of him, Luca smiled.

After so much effort, he had finally obtained what he wanted.

[Fate Dice: Special Equipment, a twelve-sided die used by unknown gods for games and entertainment. Each side represents a different fate, and each fate has a unique special effect. Players can use the Fate Dice once per day, randomly obtaining one of the twelve fates for 24 hours. The dice has a 24-hour cooldown, and the fate refreshes daily.]

Looking at the game description before him, Luca couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

In his past life, the top player he had heard of had relied on this special equipment and the Fate-Swapping Master skills to become a renowned powerhouse of the Human Race in a very short time, making countless people green with envy.

Luca had once envied that player's fortune, and now, it had finally come to him!

He restrained his excitement and began examining the three class skills of Fate-Swapping Master.

[Fate Manipulation lv1: Class Skill. The Fate-Swapping Master can alter the luck and fate of a target through the power of fate manipulation. No level limit, duration 3 hours, cooldown 12 hours.]

[Fate Duplication lv1: Class Skill. The Fate-Swapping Master can copy another person's fate, either to alter the fate of others or use it for themselves. Up to 3 fates can be copied.]

[Fate Plundering lv1: Class Skill. The Fate-Swapping Master can plunder another person's fate for their own use. Up to 3 fates can be plundered.]

Every person carries different luck and fate, which basically determines the course of their life. The strength of the Fate-Swapping Master class lies in its ability to freely manipulate the fate and luck of others.

This meant that Luca could exchange an ordinary person's fate for that of a top genius, granting them the genius's luck and fate for a brief period. Alternatively, he could take a genius's fate and replace it with that of a cursed individual, ensuring they would experience endless misfortune.

The most important thing was that the skills of the Fate-Swapping Master ignored level and were undefendable. The only countermeasure was to endure it, which made this class incredibly broken. Otherwise, it would just be a regular support class.

The power of the Fate-Swapping Master was unquestionable. Luca could hardly contain his excitement as he took out the Fate Dice, eager to test his luck.

The Fate Dice could only be used once a day, and the fate it granted was random. There were six positive fates and six negative fates, and Luca had no idea which he would get—it all depended on his luck.

The problem, however, was that his luck, charm, and potential were all maxed out!

A flash of light passed through his hand, and a die engraved with ancient runes appeared in his palm.

The Fate Dice was about the size of a human head, black in color, with twelve faces, each one engraved with golden, ancient runes. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as though these runes were shifting, creating a strange and mesmerizing effect.

"This... has such an odd power..." Jormungandr slithered out from the snake-shaped bracelet, curiously eyeing the dice in Luca's hand.

She felt a force emanating from it that wasn't quite elemental or magical—it was similar to her Dreamweaving power, belonging to the mysterious side of things.

Luca didn't respond. With a thought, the Fate Dice began to glow faintly, floating up and slowly starting to spin.

"I wonder what fate I'll get on the first roll?" Luca thought, a sense of anticipation building inside him.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

As the glow of the Fate Dice enveloped him.

Luca suddenly felt a brief moment of dizziness.

An odd sensation rose within him, as though something deep inside him had been nudged by an unseen hand.

"How is this possible?!" Jormungandr's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with disbelief.

"This thing... it can actually change fate?" The Solar Divine Spear, still half-asleep, was also stirred awake, its voice filled with undeniable astonishment.

It was important to understand that the power of fate was one of the highest laws among the gods. The few gods who had once wielded the power of fate were among the top-tier divinities in the Divine Court!

To manipulate fate, to alter someone's destiny regardless of their level—such power was beyond the reach of even ordinary gods!

This kid had only wandered around the Divine Ruins for a bit, how did he manage to obtain such a divine-level legacy?

Jormungandr and the Solar Divine Spear were both deeply shocked, but what came next left them utterly stunned.

At the very moment the power of fate enveloped Luca, a faint golden glow suddenly appeared around him.

The power of fate seemed to be completely blocked, unable to penetrate or enter even a fraction of an inch, forcibly repelled from his body!

Both of them gasped, unable to believe their eyes.

Meanwhile, within Luca's spiritual sea.

Four towering golden beams of light, as if stimulated by some force, suddenly burst into blinding brilliance!

Buzz—!

A dazzling golden light shot upward, instantly tearing through the layers of mist, piercing the vast, lifeless dark sky above!

The Fate Dice trembled, emitting its own golden divine light, accelerating its rotation!

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the twelve-faced die slowly came to a stop in midair.

The twelve fates that had once been inscribed on its faces had vanished without a trace.

What remained was a single, radiant rune, exuding an overwhelming divine might!

Heaven's Blessing!

A torrent of divine power descended with a thunderous roar!

Countless monsters immediately bowed in submission, their savage, blood-red eyes wide with fear.

"What's going on? Is the dice broken?" Luca was momentarily bewildered by the sight before him.

Wasn't the fate supposed to change? Why did it just keep landing on The Person Favored?

This was Luca's first time using the Fate Dice, and he had no idea what was happening.

"How could we possibly know? You've got too many secrets up your sleeve," Jormungandr replied, her tone tinged with annoyance, though her face still showed signs of surprise that hadn't faded.

She was especially curious about the golden beams of light around Luca; after all, they were what had suppressed her in the first place.

The Solar Divine Spear furrowed its brow, seemingly piecing something together.

It muttered to itself, "I see... So, this is The Person Favored by the chosen fate…"

"What does that mean?" Luca asked, confused.

The Solar Divine Spear shook its head. "I'm not entirely sure. But I remember the Goddess of Dawn, Sylvia, once saying that those who are favored by the gods cannot have their fate altered, not even by the power of the Fate Law."

Does that mean my class is useless? Luca frowned at the thought.

Before he could dwell on it further, he suddenly noticed that the Divine Ruins were beginning to tremble violently.

It felt as though an earthquake of magnitude eight had struck, or like a beast that had been dormant for eons was slowly awakening.

Then, to the astonished gaze of the three, golden light slowly began to emerge from every corner of the ruins.

It was as if fireflies were flying toward the heavens.

Each beam of light carrying an aura that made the two others tremble with unease!

These were the residual divine powers of the gods who had long since passed away!

In just a moment, the pitch-black night sky was illuminated by countless golden dots of light.

Looking up, it was as if the stars themselves were twinkling, their glow dazzling and beautiful!

Countless specks of divine power gathered together, merging into the golden beams of light.

Luca's body shuddered in surprise.

He could distinctly feel that his body was being enhanced.

These divine powers were actively helping to refine his body?

At the same time, a series of game notifications appeared before him.

[You have received the blessing of the "Lord of the Sun," your talent attribute +7!]

[You have received the blessing of the "Spirit of the Ocean," your charisma attribute +6!]

[You have received the blessing of the "Goddess of Luck," your luck attribute +9!]

...

The series of notifications left him stunned.

They also left Jormungandr speechless.

What in the world was going on with this guy?

Why would the residual powers of the gods be enhancing his body?

A look of surprise appeared in Luca's eyes. Although he had no idea what was happening, it was undoubtedly a good thing!

Special attribute increases were extremely difficult to come by.

And now, in such a short span of time, his attributes had already increased by 30 points!

If other players found out, they would likely be green with envy!

As more and more divine power poured into the golden beams.

Luca's aura rapidly grew stronger, and his attributes began to soar.

In just this short time, his stats had increased by a total of 1000 points, even more powerful than what Soul Forge could provide!

Just as he was barely able to contain his excitement.

The tremors throughout the Divine Ruins suddenly ceased. Immediately afterward, a blinding light pierced through the darkness, and the air temperature shot up sharply. A terrifying pressure, as if from an ancient beast awakening from a long slumber, enveloped the entire Divine Ruins!

The three of them felt a sudden shock in their hearts and instinctively looked up.

In the far distance, deep within the Divine Ruins, a massive golden sun began to rise.

Emitting endless rays of light.

Luca squinted, his heart pounding with astonishment.

Within the brilliance, there was a figure radiating dazzling divine light.

That… was the aura of a god?!
