LORD OF THE KARMIC FATE

"Oh? So you no longer fear saying my name out loud? Why is that?" Dinas asked, his voice full of surprise and awe.

"You can say I somewhat had been enlightened." Raven showed a calm smile as he looked around.

After breaking his seal and seeing that vision under that huge tree with those four individuals including the newborn, Raven really started to believe that he was the born child of two gods, which naturally made him also one.

Thus, this meant that he shouldn't be feared to say Dinas' name out loud. As for Etia's name, while he itched to try and say it he was not a fool to do so for different reasons.

First of all, while now he was 99% sure he was the offspring of two higher existences with seemingly immense powers, he didn't know if he was considered a Royal God or not.

After all, according to Etia, only those who had been given permission or were Royal Gods could say her name out loud without suffering any grave consequences.

As for the other reason, if it turned out that he was a Royal God, he feared that status of his was also sealed away just like how his memories had been.

'Well, with time I am pretty sure everything will come to light, I just need to be patient.' Raven thought to himself.

"Hmm... Enlightenment, huh? I see you have successfully broken your first seal." Dinas hummed quietly.

"Huh? What?" now it was Raven's turn to be shocked and quickly asked, "Wait... Do you mean you have known about my seal all this time? And also, what do you mean by the first seal? Is there more?"

"Oh my... It seems I have spoken something I shouldn't have done."

Dinas remained silent for a few seconds before he hummed nonchalantly, almost as if he was shrugging, and said, "Well, whatever. What has been said couldn't be taken back so, yes, I have known about your seal a very long time ago. I have known about the very moment you had been taken to that planet called Earth."

"As for your seals, I have to apologize, but I cannot talk about it. Just pretend as if I have not said anything."

"Pretend as if you have not... Nah, even if you say that I can't." Raven frowned to which Dinas just sighed helplessly.

"I am truly sorry, little bird, despite I wish to tell you everything, I can't. My hands are tied."

The frown on Raven's face just deepened even more, however, as he couldn't force Dinas to tell him what he did not wish to he could do nothing.

"And is there anything you can tell me?"

"Unfortunately, not. In truth, we should stop talking about this matter or everything you have so far achieved will be in vain."

"Is that so..." Raven sighed before he nodded and took out the device he had gotten from Thomas.

Then, after checking the list on it he asked, "Do you have any of these items?"

"Let me check it." Dinas' voice immediately appeared and Raven felt a gentle breeze appear in the room for a split second, caressing his cheeks softly.

"Hmm... You wish to buy all these?"

"Yeah. Do you think I can find them here?" Raven asked calmly.

"Well, many of them, yes, you can. However, some of them can only be purchased within my Realm Shop."

"Then I will buy those that are currently available," Raven stated with an indifferent face.

"I hope that you realize that while these items are nothing special because you wish to buy many at once they will be rather expensive."

"How much?"

"Let's see... a total of 3,894 items with a price varying between 500 and 1,500 Astral Cores... It should be around or at the very best a little over 4 million Astral Cores."

"That is okay. I have that much." Raven stated calmly before he waved his hands and showed Dinas the number of Astral Cores he had.

"Oh? How interesting? Perhaps it could be that you and your family wish to start world domination?" Dinas asked curiously and added, "After all, with all these items, that granted various powers which could be used outside Realms, you can form a smaller army and easily dominate the whole world."

'World domination?' Raven raised a brow as now that he thought about it, why did Thomas ask him to buy all these items?

However, he soon shook his head and said, "I know my father, he would not aim for world domination. I think, with more and more people gaining various abilities thanks to their Avatar Imprints, he wishes to make sure his guild and family are well protected."

"Yeah, that makes sense," Dinas mumbled before he sighed and made the items Raven wished to buy appear in front of him in large crates.

[Price: 4,233,861 Astral Cores]

[Do you wish to buy all of it?]

As the small panels popped up in his line of sight Raven took a deep breath and nodded.

Whoosh!

[Currency: 692,929 Astral Core]

'I still have almost seven hundred thousand Astral Cores.' Raven thought silently as he extended his hand and used it to store all the crates within.

Just like Mia's orb, his ring also possessed a massive space within, capable of storing thousands of things with ease.

It was quite a useful thing.

"That ring is not yours, is it? Do you wish to buy one for yourself?" almost as if knowing what he was thinking about Dinas hummed with curiosity.

"Is there anything similar to this one?" Raven asked.

"Similar? I have something much better than that junk of scrap." Dinas laughed and quickly made a ring appear floating before Raven.

"Look at this baby. Isn't it gorgeous?" Dinas asked with a voice filled with affection while Raven stared at the beautiful black ring with its purplish crystal embedded in its middle with just a slight surprise flashing in his eyes.

"250,000 Astral Cores?" Raven mumbled before he shrugged and decided to buy it.

Now he had two rings on his left hand, one containing all the items he had bought for Thomas and his own which he had just bought.

"I still have 442,929 Astral Cores," Raven said and asked Dinas if there were any armor for women which was light, granted great protection against attacks, and also provided its wearer some effects.

"In fact, I have a few." Dinas stared and immidieatly brought 3 sets of armors before Raven.

Raven checked each of them for several minutes before he decided to buy the second one as its name kind of reminded him about Luna and also had great effects.

"Now with these 150,000 Astral Cores spent, I only have a little less than 300,000. Is there any good weapon that I can afford with this much?"

"If there is any?" Dinas almost laughed out loud when he heard the question and said, "There are only good weapons for that much money so say what kind of weapon you are looking for?"

"Anything light, easy to use but also sharp enough to penetrate thick armors. Also, if there is any that can grant me passive abilities that would be the best."

"Hmm, let me see if I find anything to your preference," Dinas muttered, and a small while later he brought several weapons before Raven.

There was a total of 5 weapons floating before him; A dagger, a shortsword, a pair of Pantera claws, a fan, and a... umbrella.

The hell?

What was an umbrella doing next to four lethal weapons?

Unable to lessen his curiosity, Raven stepped before the beautiful white umbrella and examined its description.
