Lord of the Karmic Fate

With his eyes snapped wide open, Raven sat up in a flash and sucked in a mouthful of fresh air, almost as if he had been drowning under water for several minutes!

"What... What?! I... I am alive?" breathing heavily as he touched his face, Raven's eyes widened even more, and glanced at his arms with shock.

"Wait... My arms... I can move them! And..." as he reached that point, Raven lowered his gaze and touched his stomach, "Even my guts are not out! But how is this even possible?"

While wondering what was happening with him and how he was able to move, Raven pushed himself up onto his feet and looked around.

Currently, he was in the middle of a dark and narrow alley, one where even a single person could hardly walk through normally, let alone several at the same time.

'These walls... Don't tell me.' Raven's face paled as he touched the solid surface in front of him, only to calm down and look nonchalant the very next second.

'Thank God... At least I am not there.' taking a deep breath and sighing with relief when he noticed no slimy substance or moving roots around him, Raven directed his gaze to the right.

There, what he could see was blinding whiteness and if he was right that was...

Raven swallowed nervously as he forcefully surpassed his emotions, and was ready to start walking when suddenly above him began to rattle and break.

Raising his head, what Raven saw was a thin steel pipe falling at him from somewhere above, only a few inches away from slamming right into his head and very likely knocking him unconscious.

Raven widened his eyes from shock, however not because of the unexpected sight of a broken steel pipe falling at his head, but because right above it he could see something that made him doubt his eyes.

• Current Chances to avoid: 11.05% (Max: 100%)

• Available Luck Energy to enhance: 100%

• Needed Mystique to activate Luck Enhancement: 10,000 units

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

'What the f-?'

Raven was both confused and startled, which only lasted for a fraction of a second when something even more incredible happened.

The moment he spotted the pipe and the floating panel above it, suddenly a thin black thread thrived out of his left index finger and attached itself to the side of the panel.

In that instant, time seemed to slow down while a bizarre sensation swept through his body, one that he had never met before yet for some reason knew how to use right away!

And he did exactly that!

Without any hesitancy, he flicked his left index finger and with wide eyes watched as the numbers began to grow while something from within his body was sucked away bit by bit.

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

• Current Chances to avoid: 100% (Max: 100%)

• Available Luck Energy to enhance: 11.05% (Cannot be used!)

• Needed Mystique to activate Luck Enhancement: None

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

Crack!

'Wha-'

Suddenly, the moment the number jumped all the way to 100%, suddenly a thick tube on the wall above Raven's head, which looked a little too old already cracked and white steam broke out of it, crashing into the falling pipe and pushing it onto another trajectory.

It missed Raven's head just by an inch and fell right before his feet!

As for Raven, he stood with a dumbfounded look on his face, his eyes glued on the clattering pipe before his feet.

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

Raven's mouth opened wide, feeling as if his head was starting to spin.

"Luck Cursed... Luck Enhancement... My increased Avatar Traits, those notifications at the bottom, and this weird power of mine... Just what exactly is happening here?"

Puzzled, Raven waved his hand and quickly opened the description of his Avatar Class and his seemingly different Avatar Imprint.

'...'

Once reading everything, Raven remained standing in a daze, trying to figure out how things have come to all this.

However, he couldn't really think for a very long time as he soon sighed and shook his head.

'It's needless to think about it now. I have better things to do first.'

After saying that, Raven glanced at his Traits, and pondering for a few seconds he quickly distributed his 50 Avatar Points.
