Lord of the Karmic Fate

After seeing that her brother was really fine Luna let out a sigh of relief and asked, "So what now? Will you not collect the rewards?"

"I will, but not here." Raven nodded as he straightened his posture and lowered his hands, "We should go inside a Realm Domain first."

Luna raised a brow in confusion before realization flashed in her eyes and nodded.

"Though, I think you should change clothes before we go." Luna pointed at the somewhat damaged white suit on Raven, who seemingly wished to go outside while still wearing it.

"Oh, you right. Give me a second." Raven nodded and quickly got undressed.

"I see it was worth training with Kayn. You no longer look like a broomstick that can be broken with a single slam." while watching as Raven put on some new pants and a shirt, Luna narrowed her eyes and exclaimed out loud.

"Broomstick?" Raven raised a brow and looked at himself in the mirror, just before he was about to pull his shirt down on his body.

In the past, although it was true he had no muscular body such as those top athletes, his body was not bony either. Or at least instead of calling himself a broomstick, he preferred the term of a slim person.

However, right now, that changed completely. After two weeks of training with Kayn, his body became more robust with his muscles becoming way more refined than before.

It was truly amazing how intense training could change a person in just two weeks.

'Well, now that I will jump several Ranks soon, I will have to start training once again. Great...' Raven thought to himself as he finished dressing and walked toward the door with Luna following closely behind him.

Meanwhile, inside the headquarters of the United World League.

"Did you find anything yet?" sitting in his chair, President Bai averted his gaze from the screen in front of him to the person walking into the room.

Once inside the room, the young man wearing a black suit closed the door behind his back and began to speak;

"Sir, we have looked through all the data we had in our system and while we indeed have found individuals with Artifacts similar to that person, they either are below Rank 5 or simply did not participate in the event which they can even prove if wanted."

"None of them?" President Bai frowned, tapping on the table with his fingers as his eyes rested on the screen; it showed Raven's alias together with the figure of Felix.

"Did you try to get in contact with the Vaincor Family?"

The young man nodded and after opening the small note in his hands he said, "Yes, we did, however, after talking with Lord Vaincor personally he stated that except for a short conversation his son learned nothing about the person."

"He didn't even ask for his name?" the frown on President Bai's face deepened even more.

"Yes, it seems so, Sir."

President Bai stopped tapping on the table and slowly leaned back into his chair, seemingly contemplating.

"I see. Well, keep searching and if you find anything useful, inform me immediately."

"I will, Sir." the young man nodded

"Great. Anything else I should know about?"

"In fact, there is something, Sir."

"Go on." President Bai gestured for the young man to proceed on.

"It's about the incident that happened about a day ago on the online site of the Star Treasury." while speaking, the young man handed several documents over to President Bai, "An Item, or to be more specific an Avatar Flask that could increase one's Trait by 9 points, was sold for 100 million Novas."

Upon hearing the large amount of money that was spent for a single Avatar Flask, President Bai's eyes widened scarcely from shock, and opened the documents.

As for the young man, he continued to speak calmly.

"The problem, however, is not with the amount of money it was bought for, but that the Avatar Flask was a Unique Item."

"But aren't Unique Items only sold through bidding? Then why does it say here it was sold immediately despite there being almost 24 hours before the end of the auction?"

"And this is where the problem comes in, Sir. Someone with an anonymous profile sent a message to the headquarters of the Star Treasury and offered 100 million Novas to buy the Flask immediately, which, despite the strict rules, was accepted and as a result produced many problems."

"There are numerous incoming calls and messages, all wishing to know who bought the Avatar Flask and why it was sold despite it being a Unique Item."

"Is there any of them that enjoys any form of privilege?" President Bai asked, his eyes reading the information presented within the document.

"There are, Sir. Many, in fact, such as the Waldell Family, Briskfield Family, Naylor Family, and other top guilds. Even Darwin Hunt happened to reach me related to this incident, but so far I told him nothing."

"I see..." President Bai nodded softly and after reading through the papers he said, "Just tell them the truth and also add something like this won't happen again."

"And what about the rest?" the young man asked as he took notes.

"Just tell them it was a bug which already had been fixed. If there are still some that decide to argue or complain after that just offer them a small discount which can be used if they win an auction."

"Understood." the young man nodded.

"Also, try and find out who this Anony Mouse is." President Bai added after a small while.

"As you wish, Sir." the young man nodded once again and after bowing with respect left the room.

As for President Bai, once he was left alone he leaned back into his chair and crossed his arms, his eyes moving back and forth between the documents on the table and the floating screen in front of him.

"Are you sure it is okay to come here? Thomas told me it's dangerous to enter this Domain." walking after Raven with a hint of worry, Luna raised her gaze at the large building.

At the moment, they were before the large hotel.

"He indeed said that, but that was only before I have killed the beasts inside. Now except for the Realm Core, there is nothing inside." Raven explained as he entered through the entrance.

"Huh? You did what?"

Seeing Luna's stupified expression Raven coughed softly and said, "After I have finished my training with Kayn I was curious to see just how strong I have become so I decided to fight the two beasts dwelling in the center of this Realm Domain."

"I readied myself for the worst and actually even planned for a way to escape beforehand if things would have turned to worse, but surprisingly, it was pointless. I killed both creatures with a single strike."

Luna was seemingly in shock as she heard from Thomas the rumors about just how strong the two beasts truly were, however, as she knew her brother would not lie about something like this she believed him.

"This should be a good spot." after walking for 5 minutes straight while talking, Raven and Luna finally arrived in a large room filled with numerous tables and chairs.

It was a dining hall.

Whoosh!

"I still can hardly believe you have earned all this," Luna mumbled quietly as Raven summoned all his rewards onto the large and circular table.

15 bottles, each filled with various colored liquid, several crystal orbs of different sizes, a few pouches filled with shiny Astral Cores, and other stuff like a wooden slab with a mysterious carving on it, a small pill, and different looking items that looked both mysterious and powerful.

Of course, among these rewards, the ones such as the Avatar Titles or the Avatar points were not present, as they were not things that could be collected physically.

Upon hearing his little sister's exclamation Raven showed a smile and silently summoned his Collector's Gloves onto his hands before he began to either duplicate or enhance the items.

And just like that, after close to 5 minutes of duplicating and enhancing, the number of items on the table nearly doubled!

"Now then, onto the main course." with an almost drooling mouth, Raven took out his Artifact and placed it below a small crystal which he quickly shattered.

In a flash, the Artifact's Form increased by one, reaching Complete before a panel popped up before Raven's face.

[Your Artifact had reached a threshold!]

[Required Artifact Crystals: 2 Middle Piece]

"I just happened to have 2," Raven mumbled with a grin and quickly grabbed the bigger Artifact Crystals which he didn't hesitate at all to shatter above his Artifact.

[Your Artifact successfully increased in Grade!]

Whoosh!
