Lord of the Karmic Fate

Sitting inside the spacious room, President Bai stared at the screen with other members of the United World League, his gaze focused on the figures of Felix and Raven.

"Any information about those two?" after watching how Raven dodged Felix's ambush and now they both stared at each other in silence, President Bai lowered his hands and asked loudly.

A man, wearing an elegant black suit and seated on President Bai's left nodded and pushed several documents forward.

"Sir, according to what we have found the young man holding the sword is Felix Vaincor, the only son and heir of Lord Vaincor, head of the Vaincor Family."

"The Vaincor Family? So that's why he looked familiar for some reason." a brow raised on President Bai's forehead, not expecting to hear that name.

"Yes, Sir. Although it is truly unexpected to see someone from one of the Great Families participate in this Realm Game, the only heir no less, despite knowing the consequences of failing, Lord Vaincor was the one sending his son there."

"Why?"

"That, I apologize, Sir, we were not told that." the man answered politely.

"I see." President Bai nodded and wished to add something when suddenly Felix's voice resounded through the room.

"... perhaps Rank 10 or Rank 11? Just how did you become that strong in such a short amount of time, huh?"

"He said what?" suddenly, everyone in the room broke into a stupor, their eyes widened as if they have just misheard things.

Even President Bai was shocked and confused before his eyes narrowed and fixed his eyes on Raven's figure.

"Sir, do you think what the heir of the Vaincor Family asked was..."

"Although we know there are Items acquired from Realms that can show one others' Ranks or Avatar Traits through various means, we can't be sure yet." President Bai quickly stated before he asked, "Any information about the other guy?"

"No, Sir. We have found nothing. We even tried to identify the individual through his retina, but as the broadcast is recorded from far away we can't do anything."

President Bai nodded, just the very moment Raven straightened his posture and started to speak;

"Why do you assume I have a strength akin to someone at Rank 10?"

The voice with which Raven talked was calm and collected, surprising Felix a little before urging him to curve his lips upward softly.

"Who knows... Maybe because you have just jumped over fifty meters in height and survived a fall from that high? Also, with the speed you have appeared before that man you have just scorched to death, it was just incredibly fast."

"Although I have over 50 points of Speed, you moved almost twice as fast as I ever could. My speed completely pales in comparison to your, just as my Strength and Constitution."

Raven stood still while thousands of eyes were fixed on his back, and after a small, while he said, "That still doesn't explain how you knew what my Rank is and why you suspect I am being much stronger than that. There are numerous ways to achieve the impossible now, such as Relics or Rune Marks. I could have used any of those."

Felix's smile curved even more and asked, "Why? You have?"

Once again, Raven fell into silence, not denying nor agreeing with what Felix just said.

"Well, whatever." then, stabbing his sword into the ground and kneeling down, he said, "If you don't want to tell me that is okay with me. It is not like I can force you to tell me, is it?"

[Congratulations! Everyone has surrendered after witnessing your strength!]

[You have impressed the Mighty One after showcasing a fraction of your strength and potential! He is giving you an offer.]

Whoosh!

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

[Hidden Quest: Prove Yourself Worthy!]

° Difficulty: Blue Realm

° Rank Requirements: Above Rank 10!

° Rules: Challenge the Mighty One and prove him your worth by claiming his head!

<Warning! In case of failing, you will be not granted any Reward, including the ones you should gain from the completion of the Special Event or Realm Game!>

~~~

[Rewards]

- Will be only revealed after accepting the offer!

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

[Do you wish to accept the offer?]

Several magic panels popped up before Raven as slowly every human, including Felix around him, turned into white particles, leaving only him behind on the mountain peak.

'A Hidden Quest?' Raven was surprised to see something like this happen.

He was not new to the concept of Hidden Quest as he had already met with it several times; twice to be exact.

According to what he understood so far, as there was no information about Hidden Quests in his manual weirdly, every Realm Game had one or more Hidden Quest, which if successfully completed will grant even more rewards!

For instance, during his very first Realm Game, he completed only 1 Hidden Quest out of 2, giving him little more rewards than others.

On the other hand, when he completed all Hidden Quests when he killed that Spider Witch in that Realm Game, he not only gained more rewards but also was given 9 Avatar Traits that he could distribute freely.

Thus, this meant Hidden Quests granted only good things and there was no harm in completing them, or so that is what he thought so far.

Now, after seeing the warning, he was not really sure if every Hidden Quest was as harmless to complete as he had initially believed.

[Do you wish to accept the offer?]

Seeing how that single panel flickered in his line of sight, Raven glanced at the Rank Requirement and sighed.

'Even though I wished to accept the offer... The Rank Requirement is just too high. I would just throw myself into death's embrace willingly.'

With those words in mind, Raven shook his head.

"No, thank you. I'm good with what I have."

[You have refused to accept the offer!]

[The Mighty One is furious and now he demands your head!]

[You have been sentenced to death!]

"What the fu-" Raven almost choked when he saw the panel, but not even a second later the ground below his feet began to shake like crazy, making him feel as if a massive tremor hit the mountain!
