Lord of the Karmic Fate

Chapter 39 Avatar Imprint: Luck Boost



"Argh... What... The hell is happening with me?" clenching his chest with a painful expression, Raven fell from his bed while a feeling akin to getting his heart pierced assaulted him without any sign of vanishing or lessening.

[Calculating Participant's [Number 69,311,011,369] characteristic, past achievements, strengths, shortcomings, and abilities in order to create Avatar Imprint!]

"AR...Ghmm!!!" feeling that he was ready to scream up from the almost muscle tearing pain, Raven quickly grabbed the pillow from his side that fell to whether with him and bit on it.

He did so powerfully that he almost succeeded in bitting through the fabric which just showed how much pain he was feeling at this very moment!

The pain went on for about 5 minutes straight, which in truth felt like an eternity for Rave, before it finally started to become weaker, allowing Raven to finally breathe up with relief.

[Calcultation complete!]

[Congratulations! Avatar Imprint: Luck Boost acquired!]

Whoosh!

In that very instant as Raven saw those words pop up before his face, he felt a warm and comfortable sensation quickly sweeping through his body and also making the pain from his body completely vanish.

"What the... Hell was that?" Raven mumbled with heavy breathing, struggling to use the side of his bed to climb back up.

"What the..." with still a painful grimace on his face, Raven squinted his eyes at the appearing magic panel and read the text visible on it.

However, not even a second after he read from start to finish, with an obvious puzzled look, another panel appeared in his line of sight.

[Congartulations! By becoming the very first individual who pushed all Avatar Traits beyond 10 points, officially becoming a True [Rank 1] Avatar, you have been rewarded to enter the backroom of the Realm Shop!]

[Please be aware that at this moment only you can enter the backrooms of the Realm Shop! Anyone else trying to do so will be severely punished!]

Whoosh!

At that very instant Raven reached the end of the messages, a gentle breeze swept through the room despite the windows being close, and under Raven's shocked gaze, a door materialized in the middle of the room.

The door had the same appearance as the one Raven had once encountered back in the hotel room with Luna, with the only difference that this time it had a deep black color with the handle being azure blue!

Raven was confused for a few seconds, but soon he snapped out of his daze and quickly stood up from his bed, and after writing a few words on a piece of paper he walked to the door and touched it.

Of course, he also made sure to put the rest of his rewards into his pocket, just in case someone tries to steal it.

[Do you want to enter the backrooms of the Realm Shop?]

The same question as previously appeared before Raven.

"Yes, I do," Raven replied with a nod and watched as everything around him turned black before he found himself in the middle of a large room with numerous desks and shelves around him, each filled with various items or objects.

"This, I must say, is a huge surprise indeed. To think out of everyone from your kind you will be the first one to obtain an Avatar Imprint... That is something I would have not believed even if she told me!"

Suddenly, while Raven was looking around him with cautious eyes, a familiar voice appeared in his ear, quickly helping his scarcely tense nerves to calm down.

It was, without any shadow of a doubt, Dinas.

"What is this place? Didn't you tell me I won't be able to come back here until a certain period of time?" Raven asked, not wasting his time to turn around as he knew Dinas was able to speak with him even without being physically present.

"What I said was true. You won't be able to go back to the first floor of the Realm Shop. However, this is not the first floor of my shop, but the backrooms of it; a very special place that can be only accessed by those who obtained their Avatar Imprints." Dinas explained with a rather excited tone of voice.

"And... What is this place?" Raven asked as he looked around and continued, "So far, for me, it looks as if everything here is the same."

"That is only half true."

"Huh? How so?" Raven asked, puzzled.

At that question, Dinas just chuckled softly and said, "Just go and grab an item. You will understand it soon enough."

Raven raised a brow at that statement, but still did as he was told and quickly picked up the closest item to him which looked like a small toothpick with the slight difference that it was made out of white wood and was half as thin.

Whoosh!

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

[Relic: Cloud Tree Needle]

• Rarity: Uncommon

• Description: A small needle made out of the wood of a Cloud Tree. Fusing some Mystique into it will allow it to change its shape! For large amounts of Mystique, it can also change its size!

• Price: 200 Astral Cores

<This Relic can be used both inside and outside Realm Games/Realm Domains!>

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

"WHAT?" Raven tried to hold back his disbelief once he finished reading, but the last sentence in the bracket was so shocking that he couldn't.

The Relic could be used both inside and outside of both Realm Games and Realm Domains? If that really meant what he was thinking it was, and he was sure it meant exactly that, after all, just who could misunderstand such a simple sentence, then things were even more serious than he initially believed them to be.

"Did you say this place can be accessed by anyone that acquired their Avatar Imprint?" Raven asked with a grave complexion, putting the needle back to its place and grabbing another item.

"Yep. Though, while everyone will get the chance to come here for the first time without much trouble and difficulty, it won't be the case after that."

"Can you please explain that in greater detail?" Raven asked calmly.

"Sure." Dinas agreed and quickly proceeded on explaining, "Once someone acquires their Avatar Imprint they will be given the chance to enter the backrooms of my Realm Shop, where just like in my shop, they can buy items, relics, and other sweet goods in exchange for Astral Cores or other sites with an equivalent price."

"However, once they leave the backrooms, they will be able to come back here if they find a special key, which can be used only once, and found as a reward in Realm Games."

"This, on the other hand, luckily does not apply to you at all!"

"Huh? How come?" Raven was surprised to hear the last words of Dinas, but he quickly got his answer.

Whoosh!

"...A key?" Raven raised a brow seeing how a beautiful black key with a unique shape materialized before him, floating half a meter away from his face in empty air.
