Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster Chapter 585: Ripple Effect [ 1 ]

The portal out was a plain blue swirly bob that he passed through, and when he arrived on the other side, he found himself standing in the place he had been before he was teleported.

That place was, of course, none other than the grass by a pond. It was the most peaceful place here, but after what just happened, he wasn’t feeling very well.

Gaia... I need your input on this, Rael said, sitting down. No matter how much I wrack my head around this... I can’t figure it out. Just what happened? If he can interfere with fate and ti so easily, then does that an that Solenne can too?

[Calm down,] Gaia replied slowly. [When you’re riled up, you tend to overlook the simplest of things... In this case, however, even I am slightly baffled.]

[Might I say a word?] Anna chid in.

Rael nodded. Go ahead.

[Could you bring up that pop-up from nearly 970 years ago?]

"..."

Could you be a bit more specific?

[She’s talking about the karma leaderboard,] Gaia replied. [She’s... a little smarter than she lets on. So can you pull it up?]

Rael stared blankly at the pond for a mont, then went into the premium shop.

•—Premium Shop—•

Category: Information/Negative Karma/Leaderboard/Current Universe/Top 5

•—Balance: 484,992 Premium Coins—•

• ??? (???): 50 Premium Coins

Is this what you’re talking about? Rael asked.

Looking back on it, he rembered most of the nas, but he also rembered one pop-up in particular that stood out the most.

He upgraded the Premium Shop, so...

[Buy it,] Gaia and Anna said in unison.

And after staring at it for a few more seconds, that was exactly what he did.

A shiver ran down his spine as an uncomfortable feeling ran through his body. It was as if a spider was crawling on him, but that feeling soon went away, replaced by a few pop-ups.

He was expecting them to be similar to last ti, yet he couldn’t be further off.

—Displaying Negative Karma Leaderboard:

5. Leon, The Frenzied King

4. Astra, The Golden Oracle

3. Lissandra, The Child of Destruction

2. lissa, The Monarch of Shadows

1. ???, The One Beyond Ti

I don’t know the fifth, fourth or the third, but...

The One Beyond Ti stood out to him the most, mainly because of what just happened not too long ago.

But that wasn’t the only person who stood out.

The second person was nad lissa. Coincidentally, in the mory Record, the lissa he t controlled shadows.

It really was her. He was sure of it.

But upon that realization ca another.

He abruptly rose from the ground, an ominous feeling welling up in his chest.

[Yeah... We think so too,] Gaia said. [Your parents are... your wives are fine, your son is in good hands, and other than that, she is the only person in this whole universe who you care about. I don’t want to make any rash assumptions, but I think she’s the one who’s being targeted.]

[I agree with her. If Solenne is anything, then she’s a vindictive manipulator who does not care about anyone but herself. Since you have already made a move on her, I believe she is going to use this opportunity to make a move on you,] Anna chid in.

Hearing the opinion of both won, Rael couldn’t help but feel a wave of helplessness suddenly wash over him.

Why hadn’t he thought about her when Lucien ntioned soone he cared about?

Is it too late? Rael paced around the pond. If not being able to see the future is any indication, then it’s highly likely Solenne already has lissa... Does she?

[Calm down,] Gaia sighed. [Be rational about this. For starters, why don’t you try contacting her with one of the communication orbs?]

He could do that. Imagining her the way he saw her in the mory Record wasn’t difficult, so he did just that.

A spatial communication bubble appeared in his hands, but then there was another problem. Actually activating it.

I need a woman... Rael scanned the entire palace and soon realized there wasn’t a single woman aside from Anastasia present.

So he turned to his other companions.

Anna?

[I’m a shadow,] she replied plainly.

Uhh... right. Then, Gaia?

[I don’t even have a body,] she said, exhausted.

Right as Rael was about to actually seek out Anastasia, he rembered sothing...

• Mommy’s Healing Smooch (Uncommon): 75,000 Trell

I-I never thought I’d be buying this again.

But desperate tis called for desperate asures.

So when he bought it, a small portal appeared in front of him, and through it, a curvy woman appeared, looking the exact sa as last ti.

"Hmm? What’s up with you, lad? You injured?" she asked kindly.

She even has the sa phrases. Damn.

Rael pointed at the orb.

"Could you place your hand on this?"

"..."

The woman glanced at it, then t his gaze skeptically.

"Boy, I’ve lost count of the number of tis people tried to marry . If you don’t need a heal, then I’ll see myself out."

"What? No, it’s not like that," Rael replied with wide eyes and quickly gave her a rundown of the situation.

After he was done, while she was still skeptical, she was more willing this ti.

"Fine... but I swear if you’re tricking , I’m going to collect your balls as a trophy," the woman said and placed her hand atop the bubble.

It imdiately turned on, causing Rael’s expression to light up.

"That about do it?" the woman asked.

"It did, thanks a ton," Rael replied, and right as he stopped paying attention to her and was about to connect to lissa, he felt a peck on his cheek.

Turning around in surprise, he saw the woman sporting a cheeky grin.

"Since you don’t need a heal, you get a kiss instead. Oh, and you look much better than you did the first ti I t you. But enough about that, bye~"

Without being able to utter a word, he watched as her figure faded through the portal.

He wasn’t sure whether to be more surprised about the fact that she could rember him or the fact that she acted this cheeky...

Either way, he put those thoughts aside and got back on track.

It’s ti to contact my sister.
