Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 46 Black Fate

Saving best for last debauchery choose to examine the black ring that Yunan got together. With eyes all focused on him Yunan shyly admitted that he could barely feel the ring in his finger let alone make it visible or remove it since he had no control over it.

Balin advised him to will the ring to appear first, he needed to send an order to the ring, or the strange feeling he has by focusing on it, there is no need for mana to control the ring as it responds to the users will, the same thing like a storage ring but it takes a stronger will to do so. After a few failed attempts to communicate, the ring answered Yunan's call and revealed itself.

The ring was a smooth band with s.h.i.+ning black l.u.s.ter and no traces or markings on it. It looked as though born naturally from a black gem. Yunan willed the ring to remove itself from his finger and it slid down as if nothing was holding it in place in the first place at all.

Balin took the ring in his hand and examined it carefully from all possible angles, then he cast his appraisal on the ring and frowned as he could get nothing from it, it felt like casting appraisal at a dead rock, once he opened his fist to pa.s.s it along to Bai and Lucian for identifying, the ring flew back to Yunan's finger and rested itself there as of it could only belong in his hand. Thus the next order of business they thought about was for Yunan to tell the ring to reveal its information.

Once Yunan ordered the ring to reveal its information it projected a screen 'mana donation required, yes/no'. After a bit of discussing with Debauchery they told Yunan to accept the donation and a few seconds later Yunan felt something he never noticed before being drained from him, he immersed himself in the feeling and gauged how much mana the ring needed to function. The ring stopped absorption after taking about half the mana in Yunan's body, it then projected another screen.

The screen stayed up for about 5 minutes before Yunan dismissed it, he was anxious to hear any comments from those around him, after all no ten year old could withstand the looks pointed at him in deafening silence and a moment later a collective """lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d""" sounded out in the room. Soon the ones flaunting flaunting their treasures were now trying to either steal black fate, beat its owner or kowtow and wors.h.i.+p the lost son of lady luck. No need to guess who did what because i the merciful author will tell it all. Fae was pummeling Yunan's chest in protest while Balin was trying to bite the ring away from Yunan's finger to no avail and Dustan was doing his best to wors.h.i.+p and absorb as much luck and fortune he could.

Meanwhile Leader, Bai and Lucian were huddled together and discussing something among themselves. Leol stepped up and said with a loud voice you promised you wouldn't keep things from us in the last meeting, if you have secrets to talk about wait for us to leave first". Reina was a bit more reluctant about it "please keep the secrets we don't want to know about to yourselves, or at least wait until we can handle them"

Leader nodded at the suggestions. "My mistake, for now how about we do a battle drill before bed time and get you used to your new items, as for what we were discussing, you will know about it sooner rather than later so we will tell you about it after we are done with the threat cleaning mission"

Not long after, the group arrived at hall number 5 and started the battle drill, the objective was to use any of the weapons they had to inflict damage at any opportune moment. Accordingly the three students rotated their battle formation to allow all of them to try and use all three weapons to various degrees of success.

The battle drill ended with satisfied Debauchery, they would not need to interfere much with the children, only in the case of them freezing when faced with their first enemy, and even if they did not act, the children will be fine as long as they stay together and be cautious. There was also the fact that level one monsters could not damage a level 5 armor, only the kinetic energy might do residual damage to the body under the level 5 armor.

Debauchery was silent as they tread along the way to their dorm. "We sure are very lucky" said Lucian breaking the silence. "I think it is time we get serious, luck or not we are deep in this, we can not even distance ourselves from it even if we wanted to". Answered Bai with a hint of annoyance in his voice". "This is why i hate prophecy, men are not made to be bound by a string of fate, now i truly regret not letting Dustan stangle the oracle when he wanted to" said Fae. "Whatever it is that is going on, fate or destiny or luck or whatever it is we are in this s.h.i.+ty swamp and we can only keep going forward" said Balin. "Is it too late to strangle the witch now?" Asked Dustan with fury in his eyes, he really hated who ever that oracle was.

Finally leader voiced her own mind " the thing about prophecies is that they are self fulfilling, no matter what we do or not do it will end up progressing the prophecy. I personally think we stick to the path we chose that day, we chose that path because our hearts wanted it, therefore even if we fulfill the d.a.m.ned prophecy we will have no regrets, all we have to do is live by our own standards and let the rest of the world to its own devices. As for the quest and the Black Fate we will wait until we are done with preventing the headaches. As for the hearts they can go f.u.c.k themselves for all i care"

The discussion ended there and then and a tacit understanding was reached between the members of Debauchery its essence is basically "f.u.c.k fate and its machinations, i live by my own rules" the moto that Debauchery lived by for 5 years now since the day it was created.
