Lord of the Karmic Fate

"What do you think they want?" Luna asked with narrowed eyes to which Raven shook his head and took a step forward, standing just a meter before his little sister.

The four men before Raven wore a blue jacket with deep, somewhat torn black jeans. Each wore their hair in the same style while all of them held their hands in their pockets; they looked exactly like a gang, bringing nothing but a bad omen.

"What the fuck are ya brats doing here? This is private property, ya know right?" coming to a halt just a meter away from Raven, the one on the front pointed his nose toward the sky and looked at Raven up and down.

Raven's mouth twitched seeing and hearing the contemptuous style the guy just looked and talked to them while Luna's eyes flashed a hint of coldness before her expression changed back to normal.

'It seems he is the boss around here, huh?' Raven thought before he showed a friendly smile and took out a paper from his pocket which he handed it over to the guy.

The guy raised a brow upon seeing the paper but when his gaze fell on the symbol at the very left top corner his eyes bulged and his hands began to tremble as he accepted the paper.

"We are from the Black Moon Guild and were sent by the Realm Association to check out the Realm Gate which has recently appeared here," Raven explained with the same calm smile, watching as the guy's face froze and even scarcely paled.

Of course, knowing what kind of consequences would one suffer if they dared to screw with people sent by the newly formed guilds which were under the supervision and protection of the Realm Association which also was in firm connection with the United World League, it was natural to see such reactions.

After all, no one wished to spend the remainder of their life in cold cells, especially not after hearing how multiple individuals and groups got executed without mercy because they believed they could violate the laws that were recently formed!

Raven smiled seeing the expressions of the four guys and secretly in his heart thanked Darwin for giving them the official deed which was given to him by the Realm Association.

Like this, according to the paper he has just given to the guy in front of him, the Realm Gate and the land around it from this point onward is the official property of the Black Moon Guild. Of course, it also stated that whoever governed the land until now will be compensated with a hefty amount of Novas!

"Now then, if you excuse us..." Raven bowed his head gently and started to walk toward the Realm Gate with Luna following after him, but her eyes were still fixed on the four behind them.

"This gate is different than the previous one," Raven exclaimed out loud once he arrived at the foot of the gate and raised his head.

The last Realm Gate he saw back in the forest while being white had a smooth surface. On the other hand, this Realm Gate in front of him although having a snow-white color, had, in fact, a single but massive black circle carved into its middle.

"I wonder what that black circle means?" Raven asked as he took his hand away from his hat and touched the gate's surface.

However, the moment he did, not only did he hear as he was asked if he wished to commence the Realm Game but also as a strong breeze blew the hat off his head and carried it into the far distance.

"My hat..." Raven was on the verge of crying but watching as Luna touched the Realm Gate and soon vanished he could only mourn secretly within his heart and follow her into the Empty World.

Raven frowned seeing the Rules and especially the Rank Requirements, but he decided not to comment on it and instead threw his dice, which the moment he entered the Empty World appeared in his hand.

"D-Damn! This place is just like the one we were in last time! Fucking cool!"

While Raven was examining his new item which was a small yo-yo with a yin-yang shape and appearance, suddenly the four guys from previously appeared not so far away from him and Luna, taking them by surprise.

"What the hell are the four of you doing here?" Luna narrowed her eyes and asked with an angry gaze. It was pretty obvious she didn't like the group of four men before her.

"Lil' beauty, don't be so cold with us. Although the paper stated the Realm Gate is now ya Black Moon Guild's property, it did not mention we can't join the fun, did it?" the leader of the group winked at Luna, earning whistles and chuckles from his friends behind his back.

Luna frowned with disgust and wished to say something, but Raven stopped her.

"Let's just ignore them. After all, Darwin only said we should come here and snap up the Realm Domain before other guilds do. We were supposed to wait until others from the Black Moon Guild arrives and not enter it."

"Yeah, but that does not mean they can enter too. It is common sense that you don't use others' possessions without any permission." Luna frowned deeply, ignoring the hungry and lustful gazes on her body from the four men.

Raven, however, shook his head and said, "Maybe, but look at them. Do they look like they have common sense? Also, to avoid any trouble they can easily say they will join our guild."

Luna pondered silently for a moment or two before she nodded, "Sure, but if they try anything funny I won't show mercy."

Raven smiled hearing this and chuckled, "Well, considering your Artifact allows you to move faster than the majority of others, I would not be surprised to see their assess kicked by you."

Luna just sighed upon hearing Raven but soon watched as the Empty World transformed, quickly turning into a massive maze with walls as tall as skyscrapers and paths as wide as streets!

[The escape starts now!]

"So? What is ya plan?" the leader approached the two with the other three following behind him.

Raven opened his mouth to say something but shockingly Luna grabbed him by the wrist and started to pull him away while saying without looking behind, "We will go this direction, you go the other. This way we will have a higher chance to find the exit."

"Huh? But..." the leader was stupefied by Luna's coldness but just as he was about to ask something he watched as Luna together with Raven vanished into the corner.

"Boss, I think we should "teach" that bitch a good lesson." one of the guys stepped beside the leader of the group, his face holding a creepy look and his hand this moment holding a small dagger.

Seeing as the others approved the idea, the leader smiled wickedly too before turning serious again and saying with a scarce frown, "Though, we should get rid of that brat first. I have a bad feeling about him."

"Huh? Boss, you are just overthinking it. We all know how strong you are. There is no way that brat could cause us trouble, especially not after we have found out how 'that' works." another guy holding a small plant that was covered in vine asserted his opinion on the matter.

"I agree. If we kill that brat we not only will gain the benefit of 'that' but we can also have some fun with that beauty before we ran out of time. After all, we have checked it already, we got 1/5 of the money on our bank account for the land which is more than enough for us to live in luxury for a few months, perhaps even for an entire year!"

The last guy who said those words licked his lips with a hint of coldness flashing within his gaze, his shoes all of sudden having small golden wings on them on either side!

The leader of the group seeing the confidence and rather wicked look on his buddies' faces laughed rather evilly and nodded his head.

"You know what? Sure. Then here is what we will do."
