Child of Destiny

……

Hwa!

Miraculously, Chaotic Luck survived even after being swept away by the raging current of the river below the cliff. Though, he was still struggling to swim towards the edge of the river since he couldn’t properly cast any spell due to the strong current.

Regardless, he was quite stubborn to tightly grip the scroll that caused this disaster. He bet his gaming life for this stupid scroll, so he would make sure that he could survive this predicament no matter what so that he could prevent the scroll from dropping in this flowing river.

Time passed and Chaotic Luck already forgot how long he was being pounded by the raging water current.

Then he suddenly felt that his body collided against a huge rock that almost made him unconscious. “Ugh!”

But he still stubbornly held at the scroll in his hand while raising his other hand which was holding his staff. And unexpected only, he felt that he was being pulled by a strong force that was fighting against the current.

Opening his eyes, he discovered that each end of his staff was caught by a pair of huge rocks in the middle of the river. And when Chaotic Luck saw that, his eyes suddenly turned bright as he could finally see the hope to escape this current predicament.

Given that, he put all of his strength on his arm so that he could pull himself towards the huge rocks. And after a few more moments, his desperate struggle finally came to fruition. He finally managed to climb on top of the rock boulder which was standing strong despite being pounded repeatedly by the raging waves of the river.

Chaotic Luck was trying to catch his breath with great difficulty as he felt really exhausted after being swept by eh powerful current of water.

A moment later, he raised the scroll on his hand before squeezing it very tightly while muttering to himself. “You better be a very important inheritance to prove your worth. Or else, all of my struggles and sufferings are going to be for naught.”

Then he braced himself before opening the scroll very slowly to see its contents. And right after he did that, a very strong pressure was released from that scroll that even made the raging water current of the river to calmed down.

That state lasted for a couple of minutes before everything went back to normal.

Chaotic Luck was quite surprised at what just happened before he steeled himself to take a look at the contents of the scroll.

———————

Reading the description of the scroll, Chaotic Luck’s eyes suddenly turned wide as he felt overjoyed. “Finally! I got my own Hidden Class! All of those sufferings are not wasted!”

Now that he had an overpowered class of his own, he no longer needed to endure being taken advantage of by the players like the ones who were chasing him earlier.

Then a determined look was suddenly formed on his face before muttering to himself. “Just you wait Flame Ghost. I will make sure that you are going to pay back all of the humiliation that you gave me for all of those years.”

After that, he ripped the scroll without any hesitation which made the dark aura surrounding it rush towards his body.

Chaotic Luck waited for quite a long time before that dark aura to assimilate with his body. And when he reopened his eyes right after the assimilation process, he immediately felt that he indeed became much stronger than before.

Clenching his hands, he gathered a decent amount of dark power on that hand before pointing it in the air. And immediately after that, a thin line of black light suddenly flew towards the air before exploding in the sky.

Chaotic Luck looked at that sight with an amazed expression on his face before wearing a satisfied smile. “So, this is the power of a hidden class.”

Unfortunately, he still didn’t have any kind of summons since there were some conditions that needed to be met before he could use them.

Regardless, he was still quite satisfied with what he currently hand. So, he could finally have the time to take a look at his surroundings to know where he was.

With a wave of his hand, he was teleported to the edge of the river which was quite far from the huge rock boulder where he was standing previously.

Then he started walked forward where he saw the familiar ruins that he saw from television before. “This! Isn’t this the Ancient Ruin that discovered by the Undying Guild? It is currently a hot topic in online forums.”

“I wonder what they discover in this place to fore the Central Order to wage war with them,” he added while looking at the ruins.

Due to his curiously, he decided to walk deeper into the ruins since he did find any members of the Undying Guild guarding the place.

Not long after, he arrived at an underground place where a huge hall that looked like a praying altar was located. And the moment he stepped into that place, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure that was pressing on his body and forcing him to fall on the ground.

Immediately after that, a sudden voice unexpectedly sounded from every direction.

[You have an insane amount of guts to step on my place, Demon.]

Chaotic Luck was knitting his eyebrows the moment he heard that voice. Because he seemed to have an idea of who was the owner of that voice. ‘Don’t tell me he is the fallen god that everyone was talking about?’

While he was still in the middle of his thoughts, the voice sounded once again. But this time, it seemed like the voice was slightly confused at what he saw.

[But you look so strange. You are definitely a Demon – but for some unknown reason, you don’t have the evil scent unique to your kin.]

[Tell me, young Demon. Who really are you?]

Hearing that, Chaotic Luck knitted his eyebrows even further as he couldn’t understand what the mysterious voice was talking about.

But before he could even give his reply, the voice sounded once again. And this time, it didn’t want him to say anything else.

[Nope! That is not important anymore.] ｂｅ𝚍𝚗𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．ｃ𝚘𝚖

[I am planning to wait a little longer until the destined person arrived in here. But from that looks of it, I am going to perish completely before he even manages to find me.]

[The spawns of the Demonic Gods finally noticed my existence, so my time is already running out.]

[But it seems like Heaven still hasn’t abandoned me completely.]

Then Chaotic Luck suddenly felt a gaze locked at him before the voice said once again.

[Young Demon, who doesn’t reek an evil scent, do you want to make a deal with a Fallen God like me?]

Chaotic Luck didn’t know how to respond to that question as he was too stunned to talk due to the unexpected confirmation that he got.

But even if that was the case, he still nodded his head repeatedly as he didn’t want to let such a rare opportunity slipped away from his hands. And when the owner of the voice saw that, he seemed to nod his head before saying.

[Don’t worry, Young Demon. I’m sure that you will not regret this decision in your entire life.]

[All you have to do was to follow my instructions and this power that I will grant you is going to be yours forever.]

*DING!*

After that, a series of system notifications suddenly sounded at Chaotic Luck’s ears right after the mysterious voice said those words.

System: You are making a deal with a Fallen God.

System: An unbreakable contract was initiated.

System: An SSS rank Quest was initiated.

System:

-The Fallen God Solus is being hunted down by a Great Demonic God and his existence is being at risk.

He is asking you to protect him from the spawns of the Demonic God until the destined person arrived to free him from his shackles so that he can be reborn as an entirely new being.

In exchange, he will grant you a portion of his power to make you even stronger.

*Ding!*

System: A special power detected!

System: The special power is coming in conflict with your inheritance.

System: The Special Powers is stronger than your Inheritance. Your class is being affected by the new foreign powers.

*Ding!*

System: Your Inheritance and the Special Powers are fusing together.

System: You have unlocked a new Class unique to you – the ‘Solaris Lich’. Do you want to confirm it?

After the long series of notifications, Chaotic Luck’s attention was only fixed at the final notification that he got. And without any hesitation, he hit the accept button with an excited look on his face.

Immediately after that, Chaotic Luck felt a new form of power entering his body and changing his physical features.

Not long after, he became an entirely new being that neither a demon nor a human.

He still had the physical features of a human. But he could still feel the powerful strength that was unique to demons.

At the same time, his pale skin turned a little more human-like. But his eyes still remained crimson while the pair of horns on his forehead was still present.

On the other hand, his staff turned into a blazing scepter with a glowing sphere on its tip that looked like a sun.

After his transformation, Chaotic Luck felt that it was impossible for him to lose against anyone due to the inexplainable powers hiding inside his body.

Due to the overflowing confidence that he was currently feeling, he couldn’t help but smirk a little before muttering to himself. “Now, I want to see all of those bastards that dare to mock me before.”
