?501 CH 485: KARMA POINTS
[Los Angeles; 9th December 2030]
In the wee of the night, Adam was sitting quietly on the table in dusa's laboratory. His expression was impassive.
"So, how was your date with the wolf girl?"
"Hum. It was pretty good all things considered. Though we had to cut short as there are still many small problems from either side that needed to be taken care of."
"True. As for the girl that was possessed by your brother, you promised you would let observe her body, right?"
"As long as you don't hurt her then do as you wish."
"Beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more. You might not understand but the body where a powerful entity descended irreversibly changes to better suit said body. It's sothing akin to a power-up that is nearly instantaneous and the more they sympathize and synchronize with the individual the more their body evolves to suit it. Until the day they can even be said to be true avatars."
"I guess this doesn't always end well."
"Avatars are akin to a key for gods and the like to enter earth with limited power but still high enough that few can dare to ss with them. As long as they don't have the intention or do not act in a way that will harm earth then the Scale of Equilibrium will not affect them too much."
She shrugged, "Most gods treat their avatars as spare bodies but they aren't treated too badly. After all, avatars are hard to raise and an avatar who is actively fighting is a pain to deal with. Better fatten them up and make them happy to receive their god's will."
However, there were also cases of gods who decided to simply wipe out the will of the body and ask the followers to take care of the body for them. In this way, gods were not much different from devils. It was all a matter of perspective.
So evil gods could make even devils seem like righteous people.
"So, how is your eye doing?"
"Pretty fine? Honestly, I don't know what to say. At least the seal is helping."
"Yes. The problem is that your power evolved above what you should normally be able to bear. Your soul is not strong enough to accept and understand all the information that is being sent to your brain."
Adam had the sa opinion. He was not foreign to such a thing. In the past, the growth of his World had always been ahead of that of his self. As such, using the World always ca with so inner restrictions to avoid overwhelming himself.
After reaching the Rook level in terms of soul he had slowly caught up but now this thing was coming.
[Eye of Truth:
Rank Ex
Description: The eye of truth is slowly revealing its true might.
Effect 1: Through a connection to the vast sea of data that is the Eye of Truth, you can observe basic information on all beings.
Effect 2: All Observation type skills are assimilated and strengthened by the Eye of
Truth.
Effect 3: It's now possible for you to observe the basic laws of the world and innately understand them at a faster rate.
Effect 4: You can now observe the Past of an object and the person you observe. Beware, the deeper in the past you go the deeper the strain.
Effect 5: You are now able to faintly observe the threads of Karma.
Effect 6: Yet to be unlocked]
The skilled eye of Truth had changed trendously. Outside of the first two effects that had always existed, he had obtained 4 new powers. This was sothing that he greatly appreciated. At the sa ti, Adam was now able to understand a little of what was going on.
Before the evolution of his eyes, he could only observe the Present. Now he was able to observe the past. Later on, he would most likely be able to observe the future of individuals just by observing them.
'This could be pretty funny.'
Eve had already told him that he was soone whose future was hard to observe. If such a person was able to observe the future, it would feel like cheating.
But this wasn't all. He looked at the other reward he obtained. Though calling it a reward was ambiguous at most.
[You who have broken the thread of Fate. You are now an Adversary.]
[Alias: Satan
Effect: #?*#%@##]
[Warning: The effect of the alias cannot be reflected but be careful, you should never let anyone know the existence of this skill. No matter how much you believe in them. The very act of pronouncing it would bring a level of Karma you might not be able to bear.]
[Reward for an unprecedented Achievent: 1 free pass to the Gold Library.]
[This is a reward off the chart and that will most likely be hard to obtain again. The Gold Library is the library reserved for the Gods or those who can match them. Whether you enter now or wait…The choice is yours.]
Adam stopped at this. Even Eve had told him that it would be very hard for her to bear the price for another Silver ticket any ti soon. Much less a Gold one. It seed like she had used this occasion to bestow it to him at a ager cost.
'The Gold Library, huh.'
If Adam had to be honest, his interest in the library had dwindled a bit. He barely mastered any of his existing skills. So it seed silly to try to get more. If at least those skills in the library were instant powerups it would be different but a learning process was necessary.
Sighing, Adam focused on the last things.
[Epic Ordeal: White Knight

[Epic Ordeal: Black Knight.

[Epic Ordeal: Grey Knight.
Description: An entity with the potential to destroy the world may appear if nothing is done as soon as possible. Do the impossible and make the entity coexist with the primary mind.
Reward: 30000 Karma points]
[Against all odds you have chosen the path of a Grey Knight and succeeded in your endeavor. The World cheers at the new path that is open in front of it.]
[Reward: 30000 Karma points]
[Current Total: 80000 Karma points.]
Adam breathed in deeply.
What had once seed like an impossible task was now so close. Just a little more and he would be able to reach the 100K necessary for him to open the Heart Chakra. More than his soul, his own body had always been an even weaker weak point.
But he was starting to wonder if increasing the strength of his body was conductive.
He would beco harder to kill but becoming harder to kill would also an he would have a harder ti evolving.
Then again…Wouldn't dying in a stronger body an better effects?
Adam sighed. Truly, it seed like experinting through death was sothing inevitable for him.
(AN: A new months. Since I couldn't increase further the discount, I lowered the price for this tier by 100 coins. This will hurt a little butthis is a small reward for all those supporting . Don't forget to check my new story on Royal Road : Cosmic Fairytale. I would be happy if you just followed it.)
