500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"What is happening to you?!" Olivia asked with shock as I started to glow, but I just rolled my eyes. I knew what was going on.

"I will be right back; I have to go talk to a bunch of children," I said, and before she could say anything, I was ripped from my body and sent flying along the Astral Highway.

Colors streamed around me, and I tried to think about what these children wanted from me, that they were calling me up here. The Winds of Change weren't children, but it was hard to see them like adults because they were like squished people with big heads. I was not excited to see most of them because they were all temperamental and had the potential to make my life much harder if I pissed them off.

Suddenly, I was standing in clouds, and the group of chibi gods and goddesses stared down at me from their high chairs. This carried on for a bit longer until I finally cracked. "Alright, what did you bring me here for?"

"You reached level five! It's time to spin the wheels of Destiny and Fate. Depending on how you do will affect your reward," Karma said to me and looked down at her little bother Fate, who was scowling at me.

"I don't need you to tell me what to do; I know exactly what I am doing," Fate said, and Karma crossed her arms.

"Oh really? Then let's see what you got," Karma said as she waved her hand and a wheel with seven different colors appeared in front of Fate.

Fate took a deep breath and then spun the wheel, and it landed on black. "Hmmm, that's interesting," he said, and then waved his hand, and a black card appeared in front of me.

,m "What does it say?" I asked, but Fate just chuckled and shook his head.

"I can't tell you that; it would spoil the fun," Fate said, and then he waved his hand, and the card disappeared.

"Destiny, and you now spin the wheel?" Karma asked, but Luck butted in.

"Wait! I want to help! Ophiuchus did get a Karmic Retribution!" Luck said as she floated down beside Destiny, who looked nervous, but that was her natural state.

"Fine, but you have to go first," Destiny said, and Luck just grinned and rubbed her hands together.

"I am going to get a good one; I just know it!" Luck said as she rubbed her hands together and then spun the wheel. It landed on red, and she squealed with delight. "Yes! I got the best one!"

"Are you going to tell me what it say's?" I asked, but Luck just giggled and shook her head.

"I can't tell you that; it would spoil the fun," Luck said, and then she waved her hand, and the card disappeared.

"Destiny, your turn," Karma said, and Destiny sighed as she rubbed her hands together and then spun the wheel. It landed on yellow, and she looked relieved.

"Destiny? How long have we known each other?" I asked, but Destiny just sighed and shook her head.

"I can't tell you that; it would spoil the fun," Destiny said, and then she waved her hand, and the card disappeared.

"My turn," I said, and Karma nodded.

"Yes, it is time for you to spin the wheel of Karma," Karma said, and I just sighed as I rubbed my hands together and then spun the wheel, but I gave it a good spin. It landed on Green, and I just stared at it for a moment.

"Let me guess?" I asked, but Karma just giggled and shook her head.

"I can't tell you that; it would spoil the fun," Karma said, and then she waved her hand, and the card disappeared.

"So, that's it? I just have to wait and see what the card says?" I asked, but Karma just nodded.

"Yes, that is all. The card will come to you when the time is right," Karma said, and then she waved her hand, and I was sent flying back to my body.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was back in the throne room, and Kelly was still staring at me with a scared and confused look. "What the hell was that all about?" She asked, but I just chuckled and shook my head.

"I have no idea, but I am sure that we will find out eventually," I said, shaking my head and rubbing it because I was completely lost to what had just happened.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Olivia asked as she came over, and I just nodded.

"Yeah, I am just a little confused, is all. Let's get out of here; I don't think I want to stay in this place any longer," I said, and then I turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait, what about her?" Olivia asked as she pointed at Kelly, who was just standing there with a confused look on her face.

"She can come with us; I don't think she is going to be a problem," I said as I opened the door and then gestured for them to follow me.

We walked out of the throne room and back into the dark hallway, and then we started walking towards the door that we had come in from. We walked in silence for a while until we finally reached the door, and I pushed it open, and we walked through.

We found ourselves in the room with the three statues, and I just sighed and shook my head as I walked over to the one on the left. I put my hand on it and then pushed it, and the entire statue started to move to the side.

"What the hell?" Kelly asked, but I just ignored her and walked through the opening that was revealed, and then I turned and gestured for them to follow me.

We walked through the hidden door and found ourselves in a long dark hallway, and then we started walking towards the light that was at the end of the hallway. We walked in silence for a while until we finally reached the end of the hallway, and I pushed open the door.

We found ourselves outside, and I took in a deep breath of fresh air, but thankfully it was still dark out, meaning I could still get some sleep and cuddle time!

"Alright, let's get out of here so I can go back and get some sleep," I said, grabbing both girls, but Olivia gave me a look.

You don't even need to sleep," She said plainly, and I grinned.

"I do many things that I don't have to, but just because I want to!" I laughed and summoned air as my wings burst from my back. Kelly screamed and then screamed some more as soon as I launched into the air.

"Relax, I got you," I said as I wrapped my arms around her and then increased the speed, but not enough to make her pass out.

"I am never going to get used to this," She said, but I just chuckled and shook my head.

"You will, eventually, but for now, just enjoy the ride," I said, and she nodded as she tightened her grip on me.

We flew through the air, and I took us on a scenic route so she could see the beauty of the world, but eventually, we made it back to the Village, and I touched down, but there were lights on in the inn, and I groaned. I had just wanted to tie Kelly and gag her, put Olivia in the wagon and get back into bed with Elfinia before she got up and skinned me alive!
