Lord of the Karmic Fate

Scarce pain, warmth, and softness...

These were the three things Raven felt the moment he was pushed to the ground by the petite beauty, the first coming from the impact when his body fell on the ground while the other two... Well, that was pretty much evident without the need to explain.

"Ah! My God, Raven! Are you okay?" pushing herself up with her palms resting on Raven's chest while she sat on his lower trunk gently, the beauty exclaimed out worriedly.

"Argh... Y-Yeah, I am fine." Raven nodded gently as he opened his eyes before adding, "But Lulu, next time please be more careful. What if you accidentally get yourself injured?"

Watching how Raven smiled, the beauty previously called Lulu sighed with relief almost as if a huge rock had just fallen from her heart before chuckling sweetly.

Raven examined Lulu's expression in silence and couldn't help but make a bittersweet smile deep in his heart.

The beauty on top of him was Lulu, or her real name Luna Wright, Old Dan's biological daughter which also made her his little sister.

However, in contrast to Old Dan's previous appearance, Luna was a heaven-sent beauty with features that even those fully matured women from noble families could hardly compete against!

Her hair was deep black which gradually turned silver toward the end and was worn in a style that reminded one of a gush of water. Her skin was flawless white akin to the purest snow while her small eyes shone like amethyst in the dark!

Furthermore, while being only 20 years old, just one year younger than Raven, and having a petite body, she was slim and curvaceous so much that any man would fall for her just from looking at her enticing figure!

In the past, several individuals even doubted she was Old Dan's biological daughter for numerous obvious reasons, but in the end, papers were proving it without letting any doubts to be raised!

"Accidentally injuring myself? But I had a pretty soft surface to land on, hehe~" Luna chuckled and to prove a point bounced a little on Raven.

"Cough!"

Raven's eyes widened quickly while an awkward cough escaped from his mouth and didn't hesitate to grab Luna by the waist and raise her slightly for him to escape before an even bigger "accident" could happen.

​ "You won't even help me up?" Luna looked up at Raven with a somewhat puppy look to which Raven could just sigh helplessly and extend his hand forward.

And the very moment he did, a wide and happy smile emerged on Luna's face who quickly grabbed his hand and jumped up on her feet.

Meanwhile, the other four on the side watched everything from start to finish with various expressions, unknown at the moment what they were thinking.

"Khm... So... Dan." the first to break the silence was Lucas who shifted his gaze at Old Dan and with an amused smile asked, "Although I am still shocked, I must admit you look much better than Thomas has described to us."

Lucas' words quickly snapped Old Dan out of his daze, and after giving one final glance at the figure of his daughter who didn't even give him a single glance since the start, looked at the three gentlemen in front of him.

"I appreciate the compliment, but I don't think this is right. Now that you all are h-, wait a second. Where is that arrogant bastard?" Old Dan narrowed his eyes as he noticed someone was missing.

"Master Dan, I tried to get in touch with Sir Marlin but I failed to do so." Thomas took a step forward as he started to speak.

"That's weird..." Old Dan mumbled quietly and couldn't help but feel that something bad has happened.

"Anyway, would you care to enlighten us on what is happening over there?" gesturing with his head at the sight behind Dan, Darwin asked with a slight frown.

Old Dan looked at the slowly forming transparent dome around the forest over his shoulder before shaking his head and starting to walk toward the mansion;

"I will explain everything later, but first, let's get inside, shall we?"

Everyone looked at each other, but soon they nodded and started to follow closely after Old Dan with Raven being the last one with Luna clinging to his arm tightly.

Somewhere in an unknown location, inside a large and spacious hall where a massive circular table made out of pure gold was located, numerous beings that had the appearance akin to mystical entities from human myths and tales sat next to each other.

Each and every one of them while having a humanoid appearance had different looks, none of them having the same facial characteristics.

Sitting in one of the golden chairs, a being which had a big frame with six muscular arms crossed before its broad chest and four eyes examining his surroundings sneered coldly.

"How long will she make us wait, huh? It has been an entire hour already and I am starting to run out of patience!"

The being sitting beside the six-armed colossal, who had a golden halo above her head and two pairs of golden wings behind her ethereal figure, looked sideways and shook her head gently.

"Just take a deep breath and try to relax, Worus. I am pretty sure she has her own reasons why she is late despite all of us already being here."

The being who had been just called Worus glanced at the beauty on his side and snorted once again.

"Woman, do you know me as someone who can calm down that easily?"

"My name is not woman, but Ufia," Ufia said calmly, but her golden eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

As for Worus' question she just simply ignored it as she understood what title the being beside her held and it was the furthest thing away from serenity!

"Whatever." Worus clicked his tongue in annoyance and continued to watch as other beings either chatted with each other or simply sat in one place with their eyes closed.

Time passed just like that, and about ten minutes later the doors on the side finally opened and two beings started to walk inside the hall with slow but confident steps.

In that instant, every being in the hall quietened down and all eyes shifted at the figure of the two beings, each gaze filled with various emotions such as fear, admiration, anxiety, excitement, or indifference!

The being on the left was a tall man with a black cloak around his slim figure, hiding everything below its neck away from the prying eyes of others.

Moreover, he had a black mask on his face, representing that of half crying and half laughing clown, one which had a rather creepy and eerie look instead of giving one a feeling of fun!

On the other hand, despite having such a mysterious look and presence of him, the majority of the beings kept their gaze on the figure beside him who, in contrast to everyone present, was a little girl with an appearance of 12 years old!
