Lord of the Karmic Fate

Standing inside a spacious silver square room with Old Dan, Luna, and Thomas, Raven looked at all the items around him, placed in an orderly and neat fashion before he glanced at his after and asked, "Just from where did you get all of this stuff?"

Hundreds of pouches, filled with various materials that could not be found on Earth, different accessories, items that can grant varied effects or skills, and all kinds of smaller objects that seemingly had numerous uses.

All the items around Raven were stuff one could only obtain from either Realm Games in the form of rewards or Realm Domains in the form of loot!

Naturally, Raven was well-aware that ever since their guild had been officially formed Dan ordered numerous teams to explore other Realm Gates, but to think just in less than a week this much loot was collected- it was a feat that was insanely outstanding and unexpected!

​ "After our Black Moon Guild had been officially formed, we had been tasked by the Realm Association to explore numerous Realm Gates and if possible clear the Realm Games within. Of course, we must share 40% of the things we gathered inside while we can do whatever we want with the remaining 60%." Old Dan explained as he looked around with a proud look.

"I see." Raven nodded and after walking before the closest item, which seemed to be a small piece of wood, he looked at Old Dan and said, "Though I must say, once I touch an item and my gloves fail to do their magic, I can't try again. I can only try once with every item."

"Even if you can duplicate or enhance the effects of just 10% of the items here, that will be more than enough. After all, it's like gaining more resources without even risking anyone's life!" Old Dan stated with a small smile with Thomas and Luna nodding beside him.

Hearing his foster father's words, Raven nodded softly also and without saying anything went to grab the first pouch with his left hand, which had the black glove on.

Since he had the chance to either double or enhance the effects of any item, Raven decided to do the former on materials such as pouches, ores, or items with strong abilities while he uses his latter ability on items that seemed to be weak and useless to make them stronger!

Like this, he not only can increase the Black Moon Guild's resources greatly but he can also boost its strength by a considerable margin! And all this through doing nothing but simply touching the items!

'Although my luck in real life so far was not great, could be said non-existent, things now will be different. With the Effects my Avatar Imprint grants me, I will be able to do more than until now!' Raven thought as he grabbed the pouch and activated his Collecter's Glove.

However, waiting even after several seconds after he did, nothing happened.

Although scarcely disappointed, Raven didn't feel helpless and quickly went to grab the next pouch on the right. But, just like previously, this time didn't happen anything either.

'If we consider that previously I had zero luck but now it was increased by 25%, I should succeed around every 4th try, right?' Raven asked himself and went to grab the third pouch, only to fail once again.

Of course, his Avatar Imprint's third Effect currently didn't work as what he was doing at the moment was not a chance-based game nor an event. This meant, at the moment the only thing he could rely on was his luck.

'Wait... I still have the second Effect, but...'

But for that to activate he must be under constant danger, which, while was possible to achieve if he asked either of the three behind his back, was something he very likely would avoid. After all, triggering the second effect really needed one to wish to kill him or at least harm him, which he doubted Dan or Thomas would do, not to mention Luna.

'Well, if my success rate falls below th expected I just have to ask Old Dan.' Raven shrugged and grabbed the 4th pouch, which this time flashed with a black glow and quickly split into two!

"Marvelous... To think such an ability can truly exist." seeing the magic Thomas exclaimed out loud in awe.

"While I must agree that those gloves grant their wearer powers that can be considered heaven-defying, let's not forget they can work so efficiently in the hands of someone like Raven." Old Dan replied with a calm gaze.

Thomas upon hearing Dan's words nodded as he completely agreed with him. After all, Thomas was pretty sure if he would be wearing those gloves, his chances to succeed would be one out of every ten if not one out of every 20!

Putting back the two pouches from his hand onto the shelf, suddenly Raven remained motionless. Then, as if realizing something thanks to his father's words he turned around and said, "We should bring these into the Realm Domain."

"Huh?" both Old Dan and Thomas were surprised by the sudden question.

"What do you mean by that?"

Raven, looking at the items around him before directed his gaze at the gloves on his hands then at the necklace hanging down his neck, and said, "I think I have found a way to use these gloves' ability to the utmost best!"

...

"And this is the last one." standing at the perimeter of the Realm Domain from the inside, Old Dan shifted his attention from the crates on his side at Raven, who at this moment was staring at the large hotel in the far distance.

"Just ignore it." Old Dan waved his hand as he said, "Although it is true that the interior of it changed completely and those huge beasts finally decided to show up, assuming because of the Evolution, they can't leave the building."

Raven hearing his father's explanation nodded as he was well aware of what had happened inside this Realm Domain ever since it has undergone the so-called Evolution.

The interior of the hotel became at least twice as big, the number of shards found inside doubled also, and even those two large snakes they met with during the Realm Game had emerged.

Raven even heard from Thomas about how those two beasts succeeded in killing a bunch of new recruits who had the task to explore the interior of the building for the first time. Among them, there was even an individual who possessed a rather useful Artifact, which was a huge loss for the Black Moon Guild!

Thinking about this, Raven shook his head helplessly before he turned serious again and quickly opened the lid of the first crate beside him.

Then, once he saw the numerous pouches carefully placed inside, he extended his hand and took it out. And to his delight, the pouch immediately split, becoming two instead of one with the materials inside them is the same amount and quality!

"It seems that I was right," Raven mumbled with a satisfied grin as he went to grab another pouch, watching how it split too just like the earlier one!

Just as he thought! While it was true and was happy that his luck increased by 25% outside Realm Games and Realm Domains, as his Avatar Imprint was only active outside them, his luck within was still shit, almost nonexistence!

This meant, that his Reverse Star-Crossed Necklace was still granting him an inhuman amount of luck inside Realm Games and Realm Domains, hence allowing him to succeed almost 100% of the time with his gloves on!

And to prove him that he was right, the next twenty pouches Raven touched all split, while he only failed after the twenty-first attempt!

'Haha! I am a genius!' for the first time in his life, Raven was truly proud of himself, and with an excited smile plastered all over his face, he began to grab the items from the crates one after another while he completely ignored the dumbfounded stares directed at him from Old Dan and the rest on his side.
