Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 401 - A Bad Omen?

-----

Noah looked at his Fortune Cloud with shock. He had never seen this before until now! The classes were more than just classes after all, they were ways for the System to utilize energy and transform it into certain abilities that other beings were also able to develop, but not at such a naturally slow pace, but at an accelerated and amazing pace that not many could ever hope to achieve…

This was thanks to the System's ability of utilizing energies and transforming them into new types of energies, imprinting them into Noah's soul and body, and infusing Abilities into him.

The System was, after all, not a power that come out thin air and had no reason to exist at all, it was all part of an intricated construction of divine runes all made into a massive Divine Formation within the soul of Noah and his own Divine Realm as well, which was shared with many which he deemed worthy.

The power of the System was capable of doing such things as awakening Noah's latent powers, or to help him branch off into powers he had never imagined possible for himself through the infusion of this energy and power into existing powers or capabilities.

Noah had never showed the ability to manipulate Fate nor any sort of things like this, yet he was capable of acquiring a Class, changing into it, and acquiring the ability to do this, to see fate, and the fortune cloud!

To achieve such a thing, the System had utilized its powers of energy refinement and transmutation to transmute this energy into something that could branch off the most innermost talent of Noah's Fate Attribute Particles, which were sitting there without doing much.

Through the awakening of such Attribute Particles, the ability to utilize such powers had been born. Due to this, Noah awakened the power of using Fate Attribute Magic.

Much like Chaos, Fate was also a true element, and Noah had begun his journey towards mastering it and learning how to utilize it to his own benefit.

And the System had shortened this through the Classes and the two new Skills, which helped Noah better comprehend the power of the Fate Attribute!

The Fate Attribute, often named the Attribute of Fortune, or the Attribute of Luck, is the power to manipulate one's fate and that of others. Chances, probabilities, predestined futures, all of this encompasses Fate, and even things as holy as Law itself, which is the sibling Attribute of Fate.

Now, Noah was more than capable of checking his own Fortune Cloud, and see the power he had over his own Fate!

And the Cloud… which appearance and color did it had?

Noah had wondered it many times through his life, what kind of Luck did he had?

Many times he thought he had terrible luck, and other times he thought he had good luck.

Quite honestly, it was hard to discern between good or bad luck. If a person is about to die, would you consider this bad luck to get into this situation? But then, when this person is saved, then you count it as good luck, right?

And what if a person has bad luck and is destined to fight many dangers, but instead of dying miserably, he uses his powers, intelligence, and wits to barely pull through each time, as he grows stronger through this? Would you consider it good luck just because he was able to beat his challenges with effort alone? Is effort luck then? Of course it is not!

And due to this truth… Noah's Fortune Cloud was actually…

Black!

It was pitch black!

Dreadfully black, and in the shape of a skull…

Noah's future was shrouded with chaos, fights, blood, and endless challenges.

He was not… lucky at all.

He smiled, as he laughed a bit.

"How ironic."

He never thought of himself as lucky, but had considered that many would think of him as lucky because he was able to pull through terrible challenges.

But wouldn't a lucky person not even go through challenges at all, being easily handled everything to them like these Dragon heroes of this world?

Indeed, those were the targets of Noah, incredibly lucky people blessed by the Heroic Epics of this world made by Fate, the will of the world, and forged by the Dragon Gods themselves.

Noah considered how funny it was… he wasn't lucky at all…

He had been secretly imagining a very giant cloud shining brightly with golden colors, as if he was the luckiest person alive.

But his power, and everything he had achieved was never through luck at all. It was through effort, veracity, and guts alone… And each time, more and more challenges fell upon him without stopping…

Didn't this meant that he was actually not a lucky person at all then? His entire life was shrouded with misfortune. That he was able to survive them all meant he had an incredible sense of survivability, sharpened upon dozens after dozens of challenges that he had been forced to undergone in order to pull through a life filled with bloodshed and darkness at every corner of the worlds he had visited, now two.

He looked at the gigantic and dreadful skull with a smile.

"I do wonder, does that parasite god has anything to do with this? I could assume that he wants to destroy me then… If a powerful god is behind my head, it is obviously bad luck, not good luck… If I had good luck, wouldn't he try to be my friend instead or something ridiculous like that? But I had yet to even met him and he already wanted to devour me… How hilarious." Thought Noah.

Indeed, this was hilarious…

For someone like Noah who had been bathed in blood all the time, who had undergone dozens of challenges, saved his entire planet, shamelessly stole his entire planetary system, and even invaded another world, this was hilarious.

"Let's see who laughs at last." He thought.
