Raven looked around quickly confused by the sudden voice. After the voice spoke the music slowly came to stop getting really quiet. Raven became stressed at the hidden speaker clenching his teeth as he unsheathed his sword holding it out in front of him. Suddenly a laugh cae from behind him turning around and there was an individual with gray hair smiling at Raven. He wore a fancy suit with his hands held up in a non threatening manner. Raven started, still not too sure if he should trust him just yet. Then the male spoke, “Oh dear boy you must relax, I have no intention to fight with you! I simply run and keep this place in check! Making sure it is clean is my number 1 priority!” Raven raised an eyebrow towards this man.. He was a simple housekeeper? Just some butler? The man then spoke again seeing Raven's facial expression chuckling again he nodded, “Oh dear me I forgot to introduce myself! You may call me Mr. Rivet!” Raven nodded a bit at this so this guy does actually have a name.. Rivet sighed smirking, “you must be quite famished! Here, why don't you take a seat?” The butler then flicked his wrist upward making Raven stare awkwardly. What was that supposed to do..? Raven was then hit in the back of his legs falling backwards into a chair..? How? He wasn't even near a chair! Plus how did it hit him?

The butler laughed at Raven's expression then moved his hand again this time moving it to the left. That's when Raven saw what had happened a table slid across the Ballroom floor right in front of where Raven was sitting. He was shocked to say the least. He just met a Butler who could manipulate furniture with a quick movement of his hands. Raven hadn’t even noticed the butler vanished from his sight when he heard humming. The butler reappeared with a pan of food and drink placing it down neatly on the table in front of Raven. Raven stared quietly at it when the butler spoke again, “Oh please eat! You're welcome to anything set out on the table for you!” Ravens mouth watered if he didn't concentrate he would be drooling like a dog.. Raven's appetite suddenly got the better of him as he reached to take a bite. At the exact time he picked up the fork, time seemed to freeze around him when a strange new window appeared this one.. Was it yellow?

A New Quest Has Appeared!

The God ???

Has given you a special request!

Decline the butlers food and hospitality

Reward: [Item] Box

Penalty: Lose one [Skill]

Raven looked at the quest with anger and confusion. A god?! It didn't even tell him the name of the god! He was right, the gods are playing with him.. The hand he gripped the fork in started to shake out of fury.. Then another window appeared next to the yellow one, this one being blue.

The Skill

[A Prayer to the Gods]

Has ended..Starting Cooldown

59:56

Raven gritted his teeth he knew this was gonna happen eventually… The thing was he couldn’t just lose on his skills like that..plus what if the god gets to pick..it might remove the subspace..or even his newest skill.. With a bit more debating Raven dropped the fork.. When it hit the plate, time seemed to start up again. Raven stared quietly at the plate, the fork hit the plate with a bit of clattering causing the butler to seem to panic a bit looking at his guest, “Dear boy? Is there something to matter? You haven’t even taken a bite yet! Is there something not to your liking?” The butler seemed genuinely concerned. All Raven did was shake his head looking at Rivet then he spoke, “Yeah there is…i'm not eating this crap..” Raven decided to stare at him with an angry look. The thing was he was mad at the god who made him deny the food.. It had nothing to do with Rivet himself. Rivet seemed to get angry, his fist clenching suddenly he shouted, “Oh! So that's how it is huh! Well! I tried to get rid of you the easy way!” Rivet yelled at Raven letting his emotions get the best of him. Rivet yells again, “well now that this won't work! I'll just go to plan B! Killing you myself!” The chair Raven was in started to shake as he was suddenly thrown out of it. Raven hit what seemed to be laminated flooring with a thud sliding a bit from the throw. Rivet slowly walked towards Raven moving his hands and throwing the table that was once set up just for him against the wall. Plates shattered, food splattered, drinks spilled, and wood splintered; Raven did his best to get up and unsheathe his sword, but that's when Rivet moved his hands and tiles from the floor shot up and were flung at Raven. It was either he pulled his sword out and tried to reflect them or just rolled out of the way. Raven groaned a bit as he rolled to the side out of the way from the floor tiles.

Raven got hit in the side by one of the tiles, the tile breaking against his side; he gasped in pain as a shard lodged into his side. He held onto the shard as it was barely sticking out of the point it entered. Raven flipped a table knocking the stuff off of it as he flipped it then he ducked behind it panting heavily. He heard the man's footsteps getting closer and he was panicking trying to focus. His head was spinning he was dazed, but still he gripped on the shard pulling forcibly onto it. After a bit of pulling he gave it a final tug throwing it out of his wound. He gave a breath of relief as he tried to regulate his breathing. As he was calming down he heard a voice from the other side of the cover he was behind, “Oh come on don’t hide..make it easier on both of us and let me kill you!”

A Special Request Has Appeared!

The God: ???

Demands Blood

Kill Rivet

Rewards: God Related Skill

Penalty: Removal of all stats for an hour

Raven groaned at this request; he couldn't deny it! If he denied it he would just be killed by Rivet. So as the footsteps got closer Raven jumped out and tried to pierce Rivet with his blade it seemed to work. The blade had come to a halt.. Raven looked up to see his blade was being held by the butler firmly. He couldn't move at all…Then from out of nowhere a table comes and slams into Raven sending him tumbling to the floor. His vision was blurry. He could barely see blood dripped from somewhere..he couldn't care at his point but he did see a window appear.

Would you claim [Item] Box?

Raven wanted to open it..just to see what he got before he died..

Claiming….

A similar gold appeared. Which meant it couldn’t be bad right…? Then suddenly another window appeared

The God: ???

Was really betting on you!

Box Rarity increased!

The gold box suddenly shook and suddenly had a prismatic coloring to it now. Then the same old “animation” played out in front of him the box opening and an window popping out

Item Gained!

[The Goddesses Grace]

This pendant upon activation fully heals the user and boosts their stats by 10 for a minute!

Cooldown: 30 minutes

Uses: 3/3

Raven smirked at the item's description as the window disappeared he slowly sat up watching the butler slowly walk towards him. Raven then reached out and the similar blue portal opened up accessing his subspace he pulled out the pendant equipping he held the pendant that hung around his neck muttering, “activate…” Suddenly his heels patched up making him feel instantly more energized. Not to mention his stats increased so he felt lighter and stronger all at the same time! He now stood there holding his sword staring down Rivet. A minute was all he had to take down this crazy butler…
