Fate's Reversal: The Divines Return

Turning around, Kassandra caught Kaiden's eyes, resulting in a poisonous glare. Crossing her arms and standing before Kaiden, Kassandra poked her finger against his c.h.e.s.t.

"Mmm? What's perfect huh? Like what you see?"

"Very much so." nodded Kaiden obliviously.

"Hmph, lucky these c.h.e.s.ts have me in a good mood or else…" rolling her eyes, Kassandra picked up a crystal. It was similar to the one that resides inside Kaiden's ring currently.

[Twilight Moon Sacred Tiger Bloodline] (Elementary Grade)

Growth Bloodline

This bloodline is one of the most volatile bloodlines. It belongs to an ancient species that was lauded as the queens of the moonlight. It is unknown whether members of this race still exist. Assimilating causes both hidden and basic benefits, however, the assimilator must be female. Additionally, it is able to grow by absorbing the essence of Feline-type monsters.

<Elementary-Grade>

Main Effects: Increases perception sensitivity and affinity with Ice, Water, and Lunar Energies.

Auxiliary Effects: Increases Agility, Strength, Dexterity, and Critical Damage.

"Oh this is for you." said Kaiden as he inspected the item behind her.

"Me? Are you sure? This can be a boon for a member of your guild."

Shaking his head, Kaiden pushed the crystal towards her c.h.e.s.t.

"No, we completed this together. Furthermore, you're my partner. You can't fall behind me. Haha."

Startled for a moment, the usual glare Kassandra gave Kaiden softened a small degree.

"Okay…"

Inspecting the contents of this single c.h.e.s.t, she realized something. All of the 4 items have a blueish silver glint to them. Next, she found a silvery flame that emitted peculiar heat that felt more like a cold that burned.

[Extreme Lunar Silver Flame] (Special Item)

1 of the 9 Earthly Flames. Unlike other flames, this embodies to the flames of the Moon. Which in turn causes the flame to have an affinity with Water, Ice, and Lunar attributes. This has 2 effects:

Professions use: Can be used as the supplemental flame for production processes. In this way, the flame would increase production stability by 30%, grade increase by 20%, and production speed by 40%.

Physique use: Used to clear the body for a certain type of Constitution. As a result, benefits pertaining to the physique will be obtained.

"Oh! Assimilate that with the bloodline. Perhaps miraculous things will happen. But don't try it at this level. Supposedly our bodies can't handle bloodlines yet." nodded Kaiden.

If she gained a Constitution related to the Moonlight, that would complement the bloodline she was soon to possess. Perhaps another future monster would be created.

"Wait there are 2 more items."

[Twilight Moon Hidden Class Change Scroll] (Unique)

This class change scroll is for an Ancient class. In fact, it has a history. The founder of the ancient Crescent Wake Kingdom was this class. With it, she embodied the grace of the moon yet the sharpness of refined strikes; becoming one of the top Titled Saints of her field.

Taking this class, there are certain conditions that must be met before the change is allowed.

Requirements: Under Lv.50, Rogue Class, Female orientation.

"Oh my, that voice was correct. This is perfect for you. Even the class sounds like it suits you. It's a very pretty name."

For the first time, a natural blush appeared on Kassandra's cheeks as she smiled with the scroll in her grasp. Reading the conditions she fulfilled them, her Agility was over 500, her Dexterity over 550. This trial was really the turning point of her life.

"Thank you..." turning around, she lunged in Kaiden's arms giving him a hug.

"I don't think I have to worry about being unable to accomplish anything in the game now. I don't feel apprehensive anymore." spoke Kassandra.

"That's good but...I think you forgot another item laying in the c.h.e.s.t." said Kaiden as he nodded.

Looking into the c.h.e.s.t, laying inside was two identical blades. However, connecting the two was a crystalline chain that shimmered with a light blue radiance. Moreover, the blades were 2.2 feet in length but the entirety of its exterior was the summation of the word—beautiful. Inlaid on the blades of the weapons were moonstones that shimmered with a cerulean glow. This only served to complete the grace of its silver design and thin frame.

"EPIC WEAPON!" gawked Kaiden

Those stats were horrible not only did it provide a stat boost...it gave bonus stats in addition. It also possesses it's own Berserk skill too.

"A basic class no longer limits you! That's my girl haha! Wait I mean.." coughed Kaiden.

"Mmm...maybe in the future." chuckled Kassandra. Her mood was in complete opposition to earlier. Holding the first epic weapon in the server, she was ecstatic. However, this weapon made Kaiden wonder about the stats of Angurvandal when it reached the Epic Rank.

"E-eh?" confused, Kaiden didn't expect her to answer in such a way. Such a cold beauty had a suppleness to her? She must be genuinely happy.

Grabbing the rest of the items, Kaiden stored them in his ring. As doing so, Kassandra tore the class change scroll creating a beautiful sight.

A shimmering torrent of moonlight poured down and washed over her. Bathing every point of her body, her eyes changed colors. They became a blueish silver, which in turn highlighted the cold features of her face. Additionally, her hair changed to a very faint almost white azure color.

"Beautiful!" exclaimed Kaiden as his eyes gleamed.

The feeling Kassandra now gave was entirely different. While her posture retained its former grace, there were silver tendrils dancing around her—seeming to be at her beck and call.

"Your stats… they've changed." surmised Kaiden.

"Mn, wait how did you know?"

"Well I'm also a Hidden Class and I can tell by the intensity of your aura. I even daresay you're faster than me now. Let's see… about 1,400 Agility now?

"1,452, yes."

"Indeed you are, let's tell our full speeds sprinting back to town?" chuckled Kaiden.

"Sounds fun."

Placing the Lunala blades at her h.i.p.s the chain wrapped around her waist causing an enchanting scene. All the while, Kaiden had thoughts wish the chains were his hands already.

Selecting the option that appeared once they cleared out the remained of the storage room, Kaiden and Kassandra left the dungeon appearing back outside.

'What an experience. That was...fun to say the least.'

"You wanted to hear my complete story right? I will impart it during our travel to town."

Intrigued, Kaiden was now enthused to partake in this traveling endeavor. Sprinting off into the distance, Kaiden and Kassandra talked as she unveiled her story which made Kaiden's eyebrows jump in shock.

....

Tapping their foot against the town's doorway at the same time Kaiden and Kassandra panted. Over an hour of sprinting was strenuous even on their bodies. Not to mention, at times, Kaiden would execute his Drive Techniques when Kassandra began pulling ahead with pure speed.

"Wow...that class is f.u.c.k.i.n.g fast. By the way, what are your plans for your guild now? The amount of Reputation we received...you should be at least a Viscount now right?" inquired Kaiden.

"I want to build a trustworthy guild that can assist me in making my wishes come true. However, I think I want it to be predominantly if not completely women. I don't want the lecherous eyes of men on me...when I have one in mind." spoke Kassandra.

Raising his eyebrows, Kaiden was shocked. 'Cold, yet blunt. It seems she has gotten over her trauma.'

Raising her chin with his hand, Kaiden looked into her eyes. They were clear and resolute much unlike her earlier appearance.

"You worked hard. Join me as I make a celestial kingdom. Become part of it. Will you become an affiliation to my guild?"

Looking into his resolute eyes, the atmosphere became enthralling. Kaiden's appearance was one of a future emperor. "Yes."

"Are you sure? The system will immediately transfer half the ownership of the guild to me."

"It's ok, I trust you. Your eyes are clear, I see that you look favorably toward the future. Though you may be rough around the edges, you mean well. I don't know anyone who would go to such lengths to see happiness return to my life…" uttered Kassandra.

Tapping the interface, Kaiden sent her an application of subordination. This was a special function allowed to a master guild. It was allowed to absorb guilds as subsidiaries. Those guilds retained the names and level but they were interconnected with each other. It was to the points that the Guild Leader of the master guild became the real leader of the subordinate.

[System: You have accepted the guild "Faithful Valkyries" as a subordinate. Affiliations updated.]

"That name...it's beautiful. A Valkyrie huh. Smiling, I wish for you to become my battle angel." warmly smiled Kaiden as he handed Kassandra a paper.

"What's this…?!"

"Why are you giving me this?" questioned Kassandra.

"How can I let my partner go without, additionally take this. You need seed funds to construct the guild based on your ideals."

Passing her a trade window, Kaiden transferred 10,000 Gold. At this point in time, the start-up funds weren't extreme. Not to mention, with the things that existed in Kaiden's ring—he wasn't hard-pressed for financial sustenance.

"T-this, this is worth at least $1,000,000. The CETS current trading ratio is hovering at around $100 per Gold Coin. Are you sure this is a good choice? While bosses provide decent drops, gold doesn't fall from the sky. And this deed… it's worth even more."

"Don't fret. Start developing your guild. We need to gather momentum as quickly as possible. I've been having this feeling that something untoward us will happen. Additionally, remember, that voice said something about a calamity."

"Okay, I'll pay you back soon."

"Mn, sure give me your love haha." joked Kaiden as he trembled with laughter

"...Not yet. Earn it." teased Kassandra, which made Kaiden freeze.

"On another note, I'll be unreachable for a few hours or more so if you experience any issues, talk to General Sonic. He will have things situated."

Tapping his foot, Kaiden disappeared as he bolted towards the alleyway of Crescent Wake Town.

Appearing in the inside the Forgotten Anomaly Realm…

"Mm? Young lad...your mental state seems more refined. Wait…" closing his eyes, Kairo lifted his hand as he detected faint familiar ripples emanating from Kaiden.

"Oh, so you met that existence did you? And it looks as if he put you through his trial. Then you should have already condensed a suitable mind for your next phase. With that being said, we may need to accelerate your training. So it is a good thing you have experienced this. Stay here for a while. I need to impart everything to you."

"Master, why such an abrupt change of pace? Before we were taking our time for as long as we could." questioned Kaiden. Although he had no qualms staying here for a while he could sense a faint worry hidden in Kairo's voice.

Looking off into the distance, Kairo's eyes showed signs of remorse. "I'm sorry young lad...for I fear there isn't much time left. So I must do as I need to."
