Lord of the Karmic Fate

How did it feel to get swallowed up by a huge beast and be squeezed almost into a pile of meat paste inside its stomach?

Of course, no one would think about such a foolish question as it made no sense to even consider such a possibility. However, with the sudden appearance of this mysterious deity and her wicked games known as Realm Games, considering such a topic in this new world where every fantasy now seemed to come alive, it was no longer as foolish as it seemed.

Raven has experienced many things during his short but at the same time long 21 years, mainly unpleasant and horrible ones, but none of them was as terrible as the feeling of getting gulped down by a snake and slowly getting his body squeezed and melted!

The feeling of his bones getting crushed and his skin getting slowly eroded was something way worse than when he fell from the tall tree during his first Realm Game and got his whole body turned into a waste!

But luckily, thanks to this and not getting killed instantly instead, Raven was able to inform his father to collect the last shard, hence putting an end to this hell once and for all!

And it seemed, that not only did he survive from death's grasp once again and gain his rewards, but he also seemed to get compensation for his struggles which in the past never get paid off!

Raven's eyes widened at the vast information popping up in front of his face and he was speechless for a while.

The same went for Old Dan too, but not because he saw Raven's Avatar Trait, but because he got his own too!

However, before he could have examined his Title in greater detail suddenly the ground below his and Raven's feet began to tremble while a magic panel popped up before both of their faces, forcing the rest to vanish.

[Realm Game had been completed!]

[Realm Gate now will open and Realm Domain will be formed!]

[You will be now teleported outside the perimeter of the Realm Domain!]

Whoosh!

"W-What?" Old Dan and Raven were dumbfounded to see how they were brought out of the forest, now standing just three hundred meters behind Old Dan's mansion!

Furthermore, their shock became even deeper when they saw how a slightly vibrant and transparent layer of barrier started to engulf the forest from all directions, slowly but surely forming a massive dome around it!

"What is going on now? It said something about a Realm Domain, but what is that?" Raven asked with confusion and quickly took his manual which seemed to shake slightly in his pocket for a while now.

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

[Realm Game Informations]

...

• Realm Domain: After challenging a Realm Gate and successfully completing it, the Realm Gate will open its doors and cause changes around its proximity, forming a Realm Domain!

^ Within Realm Domains death is permanent without any rules and can be accessed by anyone!

^ Within Realm Domains participants will be able to gain access to their Avatar Status!

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

After reading the newly formed contents inside their manual, Raven and Old Dan raised their heads and looked at each other, watching how shock was present in their eyes!

There was no reason for either of them to speak as the words inside the small book in their hands told and stated everything for them as clear as day!

"Master Dan? Young Master Raven? Why are you standing out there?"

While the two stood with dumbfounded expressions at the edge of the forest, suddenly a familiar voice came from behind them which quickly snapped them out of their daze.

Turning around, Old Dan and Raven watched as about twenty meters away from the two of them Thomas together with three other figures behind him approached them, each having distinct differences from one another in appearance.

Raven was familiar with all of them as they all were close friends with his foster father.

The one of the very left was a man who despite approaching his fiftieth year and having short gray hair together with a low gray beard, he had a figure that was far from being old.

He wore an elegant snow-white suit with a deep black tie that passed perfectly to his large and graceful frame which was full of vigor and strength. He had eyes akin to emeralds while

His name was Lucas Naylor, head of the Naylor Family that in reality was among the top 20 richest families in the whole world!

On his left, however, a man who while seemingly being the same age as Lucas was the complete opposite of him.

He had long black hair with sharp, almond-shaped eyes the color of cold ashes. He had a small and slim figure, perhaps around 172 centimeters or 5 feet and 7 inches, while he wore a black suit which seemed to be made out of high-quality material!

His name was Darwin Hunt and while he was not as rich as Old Dan or Lucas he had two times if not three times as many connections as them!

As for the last figure, the moment Old Dan saw her his tense expression immediately relaxed a bit and even a slight sigh of relief escaped from his mouth.

"My little princes-"

"Raven!"

​ Not waiting for Dan to even say more than three words, the young girl who was a real beauty and was seemingly in her early twenties dashed before Raven and leaped at him with wide-open arms.

While already expecting such a thing to happen as this was not the first time something like this occured, Raven was still shocked to see the young lady who he was very familiar with jump at him so suddenly and push him to the ground with her petite yet strong body!
