TOFD 374

Lucky 374

Four meters away from him, Calix found a woman sitting on the bench. She looked average at best, but Calix was not looking at her appearance. His focus was on her 'aura'

'She has an orange aura around her.'

[Orange aura means that she is a woman who did bad things in her life. These deeds accumulated and turned her aura orange.] The Monocle explained. 

"I see..."

Then, Calix changed his target and looked at the kids feeding the fishes in the pond. Most of them had a white aura. 

'Does that mean that they were good people?'

[Yes. Kids were too young and the bad karma they accumulated was minuscule.]

"I understand. Thank you for explaining... You are indeed useful."

[Thank you, Master. Can I call you Master? It seemed that you don't like being called Daddy.]

"Calix is fine."

[Then, Calix. My ability is simple but powerful. I can determine the karmaic energy of a person. With this ability, we can deduce if a person is good or bad. It might look weak but I saved many people with this power. Furthermore, you can use me to detect creatures too.]

"Interesting."

Calix was still shocked by what he was seeing. 

"Hey! Watch where you're looking at! Dumbass!"

Suddenly, a Beastkin with characteristics of a canine bumped into him and cursed. He glared at Calix but he continued walking. 

"Wait. Don't think I didn't notice. Give me my wallet."

"What are you talking about? Dude, you are the one who bumped me! I didn't touch your wallet!"

The Beastkin looked angry and pushed Calix away. With his strength, the Beastkin was confident that he could overpower him.

However, he was surprised when he realized that he could not push him. Calix didn't budge and remained standing. 

"This!!"

The Beastkin was mad and tried to push using all of his strength. His muscles bulged up and his veins showed up. Unfortunately, he still failed. 

"Y- you!"

"I said give me my wallet."

"I don't know what you're talking about-- W- wait! Here!" The Beastkin realized that Calix was dangerous. He had strong senses and it helped him to avoid danger.

'My senses are telling me that this person will kill me!'

He didn't hesitate and gave his wallet.

"Give me your money too."

"What? This is extortion! A- Alright! Guh--! Please don't break my arm... Please."

He cried as Calix squeezed his arm. Despite having a smaller stature, Calix had the strength to break his bones. 

The Beastkin was crying as he gave his money. He thought he could steal Calix's money because he looked stupid. 

'He has long hair and he acts crazy. He is looking around as if he is seeing something. That's why I targeted him. Damn it! Why do bad things keep happening to me!? Last time I was beaten by a blind woman...'

"Get out of my sight."

"Y- Yes!"

He ran away with tears all over his face. He realized that his arm was broken and it aching so much. 

"Hey Monocle, what's your name?"

[My name is Karam. Master Vulcan named me because I can discern someone's karmaic energy.]

"Karam. You have a nice power."

The reason why he detected the Beastkin stealing was because of the monocle. Using the monocle, Calix found that the Beastkin was a bad guy.

'His aura is light-red. It's enough to understand that he did a lot of bad things his whole life.'

[Thank you, Calix.]

It would be better if the monocle had a nice voice. Unfortunately, the monocle's voice had a grandma's voice and it was quite disgusting.

Calix sighed. 

'Mento speaks like a robot. And now I have a monocle that speaks like a grandma, furthermore, it's a perverted grandma.'

Well, even Corco the hammer was a pervert too. Nikki's hammer didn't any man to touch him. If a man tried to touch the hammer, they would lose their strength and faint. 

"Karam, tell me more about your ability."

[From good to bad, there are white, yellow, orange, red, and black. The darker the aura, the more dangerous the person.]

After that, Calix decided to experiment. He watched the people around him and found some who had red auras. The average had an orange aura which was understandable. 

'All mortal sins. We made mistake.' 

He saw a few people who had a yellow aura and it gave him hope for humanity. At least there were real good people.

'Unfortunately, I have to wear this old cracked monocle to discern their auras.'

It was better than having none.

.........

......

...

After a few hours of experimenting, Calix grew tired of watching people. He decided to return to his apartment and rest. 

"If possible, I want you to talk to Mento."

[If you're talking about the pistol on your necklace, then I want to have a proper conversation with him. As a young sibling of mine, he looks shy. He is probably created by Master Vulcan in his late years. He is a pistol, after all.]

It seemed that Karam could detect her siblings. 

"That's right."

Calix entered the apartment and checked the surrounding. 

"..."

He didn't take his shoes off and quickly went to his room.

"Haaam, I'm getting sleepy."

He yawned and lay down. He closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep. 

While he was resting, a person who wore a mask came out of his wardrobe. The intruder was holding a taser. He didn't have good intentions. 

He approached him without making a noise as she raised her weapon. 

Right before he could hurt Calix, the sleeping man quickly stood up and almost kicked the intruder. 

"Ugh!"

The person was shocked and dodged his attack in hair's-breadth. 

"Who are you?"

"..."

The intruder was silent. 

"It's a good thing that I have my monocle with me. Or else I will fail to notice you." 

Calix chuckled and stared at him with his green-brown eyes. He looked strong and powerful. 

The intruder calmed down and prepared to fight.
