"Pfft-HAHAHAHAHA! Finally!! It\'s been so long! I\'ll finally have something to do after all these years!! HAHAHA!"

The Guardian started laughing hysterically which caused Mira to feel somewhat conflicted at the moment. For one, she\'s not sure why a being who is as strong and has lived as long as him is even acting like that. Secondly, now Mira was almost certain she had just gotten scammed.

Right after the orb finished merging with her, Mira felt an intangible, ethereal, and enigmatic force surrounding her. It felt nothing like energy or some sort of aura and if she were to put it into words, she felt like her karma just took a nosedive.

Normally, it would be impossible for her to even sense her own karma or anyone\'s karma for that matter, but right now her karma has been affected so drastically that she can feel it dropping!! While she\'s not 100% sure that this is \'karma\' or \'luck\' or whatever you want to call it, she\'s sure that she\'s at least not too far off.

She\'s also not quite sure how high or low her karma was prior to this, but she was quite confident that it was relatively neutral. Sure, her luck might be terrible, but that\'s not really her fault. She was just unlucky to catch that \'god\'s\' attention and everything after that basically had nothing to do with it.

Not only that, but she\'s also sort of cheated death by reincarnating with her memories still intact. Well, this is just her making assumptions, but after going through those 99 different versions of her life, Mira could tell that her karmic luck was relatively neutral. She generally kept to herself, didn\'t make too many friends, and tried to reach the peak in whatever she did. She may have negatively affected some while affecting others in a positive way. Either way, she was always a neutral party.

However, now she\'s sure that her karmic luck is plummeting!

When she came to this conclusion, her face darkened, almost equalling the color of her newly obtained karmic luck!

The Guardian finally stopped laughing and looked over at her and could instantly tell what was going on.

"Ah! Yes, I may have forgotten to mention that part. Essentially, after becoming the Successor and merging with the orb, your \'karmic luck\' as you call it, will reach rock bottom. There won\'t be another person, alive or dead, that will have worse luck than you! How great is that?! Your journey will now be full of hardships at every turn and most people will instinctively hate you upon seeing you! Oh, but don\'t worry, this won\'t change your everyday interactions with people because most people already have a bad impression of you whenever they see you. HAHAHA!"

Veins started popping on Mira\'s face as she had the sudden urge to cough up blood that this \'supposed\' Guardian\'s remarks. She really wanted to beat him up right now, but she could only suppress this desire as she\'s too weak right now.

"Hmmm… I also forgot to mention that you may or may not receive enemies regularly chasing after you in hopes of being the next Successor of the F.LD.I.L. Luckily, you won\'t receive enemies that you have no chance of winning against. It\'ll just be a tough fight where you\'ll have to put your life on the line. We can\'t have the Successor getting lazy, now can we?"

"However, rejoice! As there are also prizes for defeating these kinds of enemies! You\'ll have the chance to unlock any item or function for free at or slightly above your Abyssal Torment Steps level! How generous! Praise be the orb! HAHAHAHA!"

With that being said, Mira finally had enough of this shitty guardian and took out her scythe and charged at the man! She swung with all her might at him and kept doing so even though she knew she would never hit him.

"Please stop attacking me, Mistress! Why are you worrying about such trivial matters?! Anyways, it\'s not like you had much of a choice. You either accept the inheritance or die!"

However, that last statement only further enraged Mira!

"So, I would\'ve died for not accepting this shitty inheritance, huh?! What was even the point of all this then?! Why do I feel like I just got tricked by a used car salesman into buying the worst car in their lot?! Aren\'t inheritances supposed to be good things?! Why does mine only want to kill me?!"

"Don\'t say that, Mistress! How can you compare this place to a used car?! This is truly a heaven-defying treasure! No, it literally is heaven-defying! It only wishes for you to reach your full potential!"

The two of them kept arguing for a bit as Mira didn\'t stop chasing the Guardian down with her scythe, but after nearly 30 minutes she stopped because it was truly impossible for her to hit him.

However, there was something that caught her attention. The Guardian seemed to be a bit more \'respectful\' to her, if you could even call it that. It was more like, the way he addressed her was more respectful than before, with all that \'Mistress\' nonsense.

When she finally calmed down a bit, she decided to ask him.

"So, what\'s the deal with you calling me \'Mistress\'. It honestly sounds kind of creepy coming from you."

"Well, I am the Guardian of this place. So, you being the Successor, wouldn\'t that make you my Mistress?"

"…I suppose I can\'t argue against that. But then why did you say you\'ll finally have something to do? I highly doubt you\'ll interfere with my life, at least not for a while."

"Haha! Of course, I have something else to do! I get to spectate your life from now on! How great is that?! It\'ll be like watching those Reality TV shows you saw in one of your past lives. Oh! But don\'t worry, I won\'t peek should you ever decide to get frisky with that girl, Maria. Hahaha!"

"Fuck you! Don\'t you have something better to do?! Go do whatever God things you have to do and leave this pitiful mortal alone! My life is not some TV show that you can just watch!"

"Impossible! How can I, as a Guardian, not watch my Mistress grow up?! As a perfect Guardian, I must know everything about you, including your love life!"

"Just why are you so interested in that, for fucks sake?!"

"Plus, what responsibilities do you think I even have? I\'ve been here for billions of years already, just what kind of responsibilities would I even have other than watching over you?"

"This…"

"Well, I say that, but even if you were about to die I still wouldn\'t save you.

"..."

"But I will make an exception! If, for whatever reason, Maria was going to penetrate you with… let\'s say some kind of strap-on, and some BASTARD comes in to kill you at that moment, I will without a doubt annihilate that fool!! To be able to see you submit to someone else willingly, I would even go so far as to… AHEM! Excuse me, it seems I spoke a bit too much there. Please forget you heard that."

"..........."

"..."

Mira started leaking a bit-no, all of her killing intent at this shameless bastard next to her. If she was strong enough right now, his head would\'ve already left his body. Unfortunately, Mira could only stare at him with hateful eyes. To make matters worse, he just stared back at her with the same carefree smile. Oh, how badly she wanted to wipe that smile off his face.

However, soon a smirk appeared on her face. She knew this bastard was constantly reading her mind, so she decided to give him a little \'present\' as an act of revenge.

And just like she planned, after seeing what appeared in her mind, he backed away from her, covering his body with his arms.

"How could you even think of doing something like that to me and my perfect body?! Stop! STOP!! Alright! I\'m sorry! I won\'t interfere even if Maria is going to penetrate you! Are you happy-NOO! I\'ll stop talking now, just stop picturing that!"

Mira cleared her mind and nodded her head, satisfied with the results.

"Alright, let\'s get going. I\'m tired of being here."
