BXBX NOVEL Chapter 283 282: Blessed & Sinners
Chapter 283 282: Blessed & Sinners
The dormitory building he was in when the apocalypse started turned out to be a dungeon, something which was extremely rare.
The first human he killed was his best friend, Kyle.
The girl he liked was obsessed with another guy.
He had to fight a tier 2 as a tier 0 to leave the E-Academy.
When he was celebrating his triumph over the tier 2 creature, his parents were killed.
Due to his weakness, his sister was captured and her fate was unknown.
He was also captured by a bunch \'Fishers of Men\', and he was sent to a prison called, The Underworld.
So many shitty things had happened to him, and the more he thought about it, the more he was not surprised by his low luck stat.
Corey released a soft sigh, and he shook his head.
[Although, your luck is high. That does not mean that everything will go your way.]
[I don\'t want to explain everything regarding luck, the tribulations, and hell since you don\'t really need it. Though, I\'ll give you some important information like information on Blessed and Sinners.]
[In terms of luck, hell and so on. There are two types of people, The Blessed, and The Sinners.]
[The Blessed are those that are favored, and well… blessed by the heavens.]
[The amount of luck they possess after their birth is way higher than normal. And there are some that are so favored by the heavens that their luck is so high that they are usually called The Children of Heaven.]
[Unfathomable and unreasonable opportunities and events would occur because of these individuals, and honestly, you should fear them.]
[Although, you\'re a Paragon, battling these sort of people is always so annoying and frustrating that you would most likely die out of pure anger and frustration.]
[You could be at the cusp of killing these individuals, but something unreasonable like a black hole, lightning strike, tornado, appearance of an extremely powerful monster or being could just randomly appear, and you might lose your life as a result.]
[Even the Paragon Ancestor hated facing these Children of Heaven when he was younger and weaker.]
[These sort of people are honestly cheats, and their potential is always so high that only the most talented True Paragons could compare.]
When Corey heard Nina\'s words, he was stunned and he could not help but imagine himself been in the shoes of the opponent of a Child of Heaven.
If random and unreasonable events occurred just because the heavens did not want a Child of Heaven to die, then it would truly be frustrating and annoying.
"How do I now kill a Child of Heaven. And… what\'s a Heaven?"
[To kill-]
Nina was about to reply Corey\'s first question, but she eventually stopped when she heard the second question.
She spent at least fifteen seconds before she could come up with an answer that would not harm Corey.
[I can\'t tell you what heaven is. But, just know that, it\'s a place that even the Paragon Ancestor could not fully conquer.]
Corey tilted his head with a confused expression, then he shrugged nonchalantly.
He would find out what a Heaven was when he got stronger.
Though, he was a little bit awed by the fact that the Paragon Ancestor could not fully conquer Heaven.
\'I guess that means Heaven is more powerful than Hell?\'
Corey thought, but he eventually dismissed this thought.
He had a feeling that his current thought was wrong.
[To kill a Child of Heaven. The amount of luck you possess must be higher than that child of heaven, or you must make the child of heaven to deplete his or her luck.]
[This is also the safest way to kill a Blessed.]
[Either make sure the amount of luck you have is higher, or make sure their luck is depleted.]
Corey had a confused expression.
"How do I deplete their luck?"
[Whenever somebody with luck encounters a lucky opportunity, their luck reduces. The better and rarer the opportunity, the more luck is used up.]
[This also applies to you.]
Corey rubbed his chin with a pondering glint. As he did, he was surprised when he felt some strands of hair on his chin.
\'I\'m growing beards?\'
Corey raised his brows.
[By the way, you\'ve encountered a Child of Heaven before. In fact, you know him very well.]
Nina\'s voice resounded in Corey\'s ears, and he was stunned.
Surprisingly, a handsome face with red and blue eyes appeared in his mind.
"Divine?"
[You\'re right. Divine is a Child of Heaven.]
[You could not sense that he was a blessed since the bloodline of sin was in an inactive state. When you go out, you\'ll be able to sense it.]
Nina said, and Corey nodded.
He was not too surprised that Divine was a child of heaven.
His class was literally Child of Ice and Fire, and Corey always knew that the class was not as simple as it seemed.
"What about sinners? Who are sinners?"
Corey asked, and he wondered if sinners were Children of Hell, the polar opposites of the Children of Heaven.
But,
[Paragons are sinners.]
"Huh?"
[Anybody that has the bloodline of sin is a sinner. Therefore, every Paragon is a sinner.]
Corey frowned.
[A person does not actually need to have the bloodline of sin to become a sinner. Somebody becomes a sinner when they\'ve committed numerous heinous acts. Especially if the acts were done on a blessed.]
[Killing a blessed accrues karmic sin for people that don\'t possess the bloodline of sin. But for us, killing blessed and sinners increases our karmic luck.]
[If you kill a sinner with a lot of karmic sin, your karmic luck would also increase by a lot.]
[Sinners are a little bit more complicated than blessed.]
[The longer you survive and explore, the more you\'ll know about sinners and blessed.]
A pondering glint appeared in Corey\'s eyes as he digested all the information given to him by Nina.
Ever since he was told he was going to face the tribulations of hell to tier up, Corey had been curious about hell and its tribulations.
The Paragon Ancestor refused to give him the information on the tribulations of hell, and he knew why.
If he did not survive the first tribulation of hell, then him having such knowledge was pointless.
"What would have happened if I failed the first tribulation of hell?"
Although, Corey knew that he would die if he failed the first tribulation of hell, he still wanted to know if there was something else he didn\'t know.
[You would have died a true death. You would never be able to reincarnate, and you would be tormented for eternity.]
