His mom was a superstitious person but she was not foolish enough to waste money on fortune prediction. If she knew what Lucas was going to do now, the Divine-grade flying slipper missile would already be on Lucas's tail by now.

This world was fundamentally different from his world. Seers exist for real along with all types of weirdos acting as scammers.

Whether this person was a fake or real, only time will tell.

Lucas stared at the price of 20 pence for predictions and started to take out two coins.

100 bronze coins equal 1 silver coin and 100 silver coins amount to 1 gold coin. That was the denomination used previously until it was replaced by Reser.

10 pennies equals 1 bronze coin and 20 pennies make 1 Resser.

Though Reser replaced them with coins and notes making them easier to transfer and store virtually, the other denominations can still be used and exchanged.

Lucas took out two bronze coins he had picked somewhere and said"Mam, can you take a look at my fortune?"

"Yes, put the coins in the box first, "The orange-haired lady muttered without looking at Lucas.

She seemed to be engrossed in shuffling the cards.

TING!

Hearing the chime of clinking coins, she on raising her head met Lucas's gaze.

"Kyakkk!" She shrieked out in panic, jumping out of his seat.

"Ahhh!'Lucas, taken by surprise, leaped back for meters and asked"What happened?"

"You...You..."Pointing at him with trembling hands, she stared at Lucas as if she just saw a monster.

"From which shit hole did you crawl?"

"What?"Lucas shrieked with a frown. Her words irritated him. She was clearly disregarding her customer pride.

"Madam, please stop all this nonsense. If you are going to spout this bullshit then return my coins. I will leave."Lucas grumbled and extended his hand to grab his sum from the box.

"Wait...Wait..."The lady waved her hand with a pale expression.

"I was just shocked to see you. I mean how can I say, the dark aura of gloominess and denial accompanied by twisting strings, I have never seen something like this."

Lucas's body froze and his expression stiffened for a moment. He raised his chin glancing at the woman with a piercing gaze.

'Is this another bullshit or ploy to attract attention? Swindlers use confusing high-sounding words like this to confuse others however I did not expect her to be such a proficient swindler. Her expression looks like that of a person who is shocked to the core.'

"Can you speak in simple language? One that I can understand? If I don't understand your next sentence I will take my money and leave."

The woman heaved with displeasure.

Taking a deep breath, she said"Okay. I will explain, but before that, I should introduce myself....."

Before she could finish her sentence Lucas already pulled out his coins.

"I said to explain what you meant, not your name? I am leaving?''

Lucas felt a bit off for acting like an unreasonable person but what can he do? If you are soft, people would chew you, eat you and then throw the remaining bones in the trash can or would use them as fertilizer for others to step on.

Gritting her teeth, she muttered"Your existence.... It seems the entire world is rejecting your existence."

Her words rang like thunder in Lucas's ears. It struck deep in his soul and sent goosebumps down his spine.

'Rejecting...Is this why bad things are occurring? '

'Wait! That means all those bad encounters are trying to kill me.'

Lucas's expression became pale and his back was drenched in sweat. His breathing became haggard and his shoulder felt heavy as if someone had placed a huge burden on him.

The emotion he was going through now was akin to the world releasing a bounty on his name and sending invitations to every hunter to prey on him.

Wiping off the drops of sweat from his forehead, maintaining a calm facade, he asked in a sharp tone"What is your name?"

"Lebana!"

"So, Miss Lebana do you know why this world is rejecting me," Lucas spoke with a gentle smile.

"How can I know? We predict and see a glimpse of the future. We don't uncover the mysteries and reasons why the future is like this."

"Maybe you were a bad guy and committed many evil crimes in your previous life? Boy listen to me do good deeds from now on.No one can escape fate and karma."

Lucas's lips twitched seeing Lebana giving him a look of the bad guy. He had not even reached 20 before dying, what evil deed can he do except play some harmless pranks?

Coughing in embarrassment, he spoke, "Predict my fortune."

Lebana nodded and pulled out the tarot cards.

Closing her eyes, she shuffled and drew three cards which flew in the air landing on the table smoothly.

Lucas's heart tightens, feeling uneasy about an unknown reason.

As soon as Lebana opened her eyes.

"Holy shit!"

"Ten swords,3 swords, The Devil card."

Muttering in disbelief, she stared at Lucas and the cards alternatively.

"You are really unlucky. Are you an illegitimate child of God Of Misfortune?"

Lucas wanted to deny and speak something but he felt a lump stuck in his throat blocking his voice.

"Listen to me, if you ever find yourself trapped or in an unknown place move forward, climb down, look for the doors, then follow the path inside which has some sort of reptile guarding it, and open it."

Lucas's mouth stayed agape, closing and opening multiple times.

'What is she saying?'

"Can you simplify?"

"No!"She spoke with a chilling gaze.

"If you don't like my prediction, take the money and leave. I don't even want to be associated with you."

Lucas pinched his brows, unable to understand whether she was speaking the truth or not.

"Am I really that unlucky? Can you prove it? I will give you a bonus."

Lebana snorted at Lucas.

"Listen, if, in a lottery of 1 million tickets, there are 999,999 winning tickets and one loser ticket, if you are asked to pick one, there is 99.99% for you to draw out the loser ticket."

"Fuck...This is too much."Lucas cursed, unable to control himself anymore.

Infuriated by Lucas's words, she shouted"You want proof. Okay, take out a coin and toss it."

Lucas pulled out a coin and asked"Heads or tails."

"You choose and take both, "Lebana spoke angrily.

Lucas gave her a dumbfounded look and did not want to lose his brain cells arguing with her.

"I choose both the head and tails."Lucas then flicked the coin and let it fall on the ground.

CLINK!

The coin fell and bounced after hitting the ground three times. Spinning around, the coin stopped, seeing the outcome Lucas almost freaked out.

He almost pulled his hair out of despair.

The coin stood vertically on the edge of the road baffling Lucas.

'How is this possible?'

"See..."

Lucas heard a mocking sound and saw a wide grin on Lebana.

"This is just a coincidence."Lucas squeezed out his words with a pained expression.

"I am flipping it again."

"Coin, this time I choose all sides," Lucas muttered without giving Lebana a chance to speak and flipped it.

The coin rose in the air drawing a projectile trajectory and as it rose above the head, something flew over and grabbed it.

"....My coin, "Lucas screamed and ran after the pigeon who took away his coin. It was a 5R coin. Lucas, who was running on a tight budget, did not want to lose this much.

Lebana stared at Lucas back in disbelief then a sudden realization struck him.

"Shit! He said he will give me extra if I prove this…."

"Asshole, come here and pay me back, "Lebana screamed but by that time Lucas had already disappeared from the crowd.

"Damnnn!This guy clearly tricked me."

A few moments later...

"Hush!"Lucas took a deep breath and looked at the coin. Fortunately, the pigeon dropped it.

"Thanks, pigeon, you saved me from getting swindled by the scammer. I may be unlucky but that's not such an extent. This event proves my luck.."

"Hahaha!"

"Do you want to scam me and rip me off?"

"Dream on…"Lucas snorted and strode through the road. It was then, he heard a loud sound.

"Run...Run..."

Lucas halting in his tracks, saw some running away in fear while some stared at the commotion in disbelief.

Making his way, he stood at the intersection of Central Plaza and asked a man.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why is everyone running away as if they have seen a ghost?"

"It's just a childish prank. A boy appeared out of nowhere and said there is going to be an explosion."

"These people are just fools. The boy came out of that Jewellery shop breaking through the wall clearly proving that he was a thief and tried to create panic so that he would not be caught. And people naively believed that."

"I see..."Lucas muttered looking at the broken wall on the third floor of a jewelry shop.

"I shouldn't take risks. There are other roads leading to the inn. I should leave."

Lucas was about to step away when a frightening explosion shook the whole place.

Lucas back tingled and his senses screamed in danger. Without taking a moment to think, as if a reflex action, the flash steps activated instinctively.

He tried to run, but a shock wave crashed over him, flinging him away along with many who did not leave the place despite the warning.

Then, a large blackish portal appeared engulfing the fiery explosion along with debris.

Engulfing everything around its vicinity, the portal started to close but before closing, many four-legged monsters spawned out from the dungeon creating further havoc.
