Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Glimpse of Death
....
Inside the meeting room, Fey was sitting on the table, resting one leg over the other. In front of him, all the leaders of the major families in the Northern Continent were sitting on their knees.
Some of them were even cleaning Fey's shoes with their hands, appearing like dogs that might even start licking his shoes clean as long as he commanded.
Fey appeared very pleased with the outcome. Even though he was slightly injured and exhausted, he had succeeded. He had controlled most of the Northern Continent's forces with just the seventeen people present inside the room.
Even though the family heads of the top five families weren't here for him to control them, their children could easily lead him to them, so he didn't think much about them.
That alone wasn't what made him happy. Instead, what made him happy was that a notification had appeared before him.
[Congratulations on unlocking a new achievement]
[At the same time, you have enslaved more than fifteen people stronger than you]
[You have been rewarded with one random reward voucher]
A voucher that looked like a small piece of paper appeared in front of him, out of thin air.
Even though the voucher looked like it was made from an ordinary piece of paper, he could feel that it was extraordinary. Even if he was to give it his all, he couldn't tear this voucher.
Soon, the voucher landed in his palm, revealing his name that was written on it. It wasn't the name he had received in this world, but a name he used when he was on earth.
"Interesting. Is it for marking ownership? It seems that no one else can use it, even if they were to steal it. Not bad, but one voucher isn't enough for me.
He raised his other hand, revealing a small coin that was tied to his innate skill. With a simple toss, he could multiply the number of times he could use an item.
The effect was not limited to the rank of the item. Even if it was a God-Tier item, his skill could still affect it. The only problem was that this skill was related to random luck.
If the coin did not land on the face he had selected, the effects would not take place. If he succeeded, he could use the coin on the same item again, but if he failed, that would also be impossible.
Fey tossed the coin into the air while naming the reward voucher. The coin was still flipping through the air when he called out a face, waiting for it to land.
The small yet significant coin soon landed next to him on the table, bringing a smile to his face.
"Everything is going well for me. It seems that I am truly the main character of this world," Fey said, watching the coin. "Nothing can stop me."
Although he had failed in controlling the Eastern Overlord, he believed that it was simply a slight obstruction in his plan.
After all, even the main characters faced such obstructions in their quest to conquer the world. Only after failing once was the main character supposed to rise, and he had already experienced that one failure.
His toss had succeeded, allowing him the opportunity to use the random reward voucher twice. Meanwhile, the coin rose in the air and flew straight for his pocket, disappearing inside.
Fey activated the Random Reward Voucher. A spinning circle materialized in front of him, with six rewards, all of which were hidden by a blue.
Normally, when the spinning wheel appeared, the question voucher was supposed to disappear. However, under the effect of the coin, the voucher remained unaffected for now.
The wheel started spinning with an arrow aiming upwards to point at the prize.
After spinning for a few seconds, the wheel finally slowed down. As the wheel stopped, the reward at which the arrow was aiming became clear. The blur disappeared, revealing two words.
"Question Voucher? Not bad." Fey smiled, accepting the reward. As he had no question vouchers left, ever since he used one in the mountain of loss, he had been waiting for one.
Finally, it was here. He could bring that person down, and ask him about the person that had spoiled his plan last time.
He kept the question voucher safely, and brought out the coin. Again, he used the coin on the random reward voucher, once again succeeding.
He used the reward voucher one more time, smiling from ear to ear. This time, the reward was entirely different as he received an artifact.
"The Robe of Invincibility? It can block three life threatening attacks, even from the gods? Are there even gods in this world? What's with this description?"
Although he didn't know why he would need to block attacks from gods, he still wore the robe. Anything was better, as long as it provided him with more protection.
Once more, he used the coin on the reward voucher, testing his lucky streak.
Unfortunately, this time, the coin didn't land as per his will. The face he chose was facing downward when the coin landed.
The effects didn't work. The coin flew back inside his pocket, unable to be used on the voucher anymore.
Although slightly disappointed, Fey was still not frustrated. It had worked twice in a row. Any more was just an additional reward.
One last time, he used the reward voucher. This time, the piece of paper disappeared when the spinning wheel materialized in front of him.
Even though there were more people in the hall, only he could see the wheel that started spinning. Within a few seconds, it also revealed a reward.
Noticing the reward, Fey frowned. The name of the reward itself surprised him.
"Glimpse of Death?" He reached out his hand, accepting the confusion reward.
A small red box appeared in his hand, being the size of a small poker card, albeit much thicker. He quickly opened the box.
