Lucky 374
Four meters away from him, Calix found a woman sitting on the bench. She looked average at best, but Calix did not look 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 has done bad things in her life. These deeds have accumulated and turned her aura orange.] The Monocle explained.
"I see..."
Then Calix changed his target and looked at the children feeding the fish in the pond. Most of them had white auras.
'Does that mean they were good people?'
[Yes. The children were too young, and the bad karma they had accumulated was minuscule].
"I understand. Thank you for explaining. You are indeed useful."
[Thank you, Master. Can I call you Master? It seems like you don't like being called daddy.]
"Calix is fine."
[Then, Calix. My ability is simple, but powerful. I can determine a person's karma energy. With this ability we can tell if a person is good or bad. It may look weak, but I have saved many people with this ability. Besides, you can also use me to detect creatures.]
"Interesting."
Calix was still shocked by what he saw.
"Hey! Watch where you're looking! Dumbass!"
Suddenly, a Beastkin with the characteristics of a dog bumped into him and cursed. It glared at Calix, but he kept walking.
"Wait. Don't think I didn't notice. Give me my wallet."
"What are you talking about? Dude, you're 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 to find that he could not push him. Calix didn't move and remained standing.
"This!!"
The Beastkin was furious and tried to push with all his strength. His muscles bulged and his veins showed. 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 they helped him avoid danger.
'My senses tell me that this person will kill me!'
He didn't hesitate and handed over his wallet.
"Give me your money too."
"What? This is blackmail! A- All right! Guh--! Please don't break my arm... Please."
He cried as Calix squeezed his arm. Despite his small stature, Calix had the strength to break his bones.
The Beastkin cried as he handed over his money. He thought he could steal Calix's money because he looked stupid.
'He has long hair and acts crazy. He looks around as if he sees something. That's why I targeted him. Damn it! Why do bad things keep happening to me? Last time I was hit by a blind woman...'
"Get out of my sight."
"Y- Yes!"
He ran away, tears streaming down his face. He realized that his arm was broken and it hurt so much.
"Hey Monocle, what's your name?"
[My name is Karam. Master Vulcan named me because I can sense someone's karmic energy].
"Karam. You have a beautiful power."
The reason he detected the Beastkin stealing was because of the monocle. With the monocle, Calix found out that the Beastkin was a bad guy.
His aura is bright red. It's enough to understand that he's done a lot of bad things all his life.
[Thank you, Calix.]
It would be better if the monocle had a nice voice. Unfortunately, the monocle's voice had a grandmother's moaning voice, and it was rather disgusting.
Calix sighed.
'Mento talks like a robot. And now I have a monocle that talks like a grandma, and it's a perverted grandma at that.'
Well, even Corco the Hammer was a pervert. Nikki's hammer wouldn't let a man touch it. If a man tried to touch the hammer, he would lose his strength and faint.
"Karam, tell me more about your power."
[From good to bad, there are white, yellow, orange, red, and black. The darker the aura, the more dangerous the person is].
After that, Calix decided to experiment. He observed 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 a mistake. '
He saw a few people with yellow auras, and it gave him hope for humanity. At least there were really good people.
'Unfortunately, I have to wear this old cracked monocle to see their auras.'
It was better than having none.
......
...
...
After a few hours of experimenting, Calix grew tired of watching people. He decided to go back to his apartment and rest.
"If possible, I want you to talk to Mento."
[If you're talking about the gun on your necklace, I want to have a real conversation with him. As a young sibling of mine, he looks shy. He was probably created by Master Vulcan in his later years. After all, he is a pistol.]
It seemed that Karam could recognize her siblings.
"That's right."
Calix entered the apartment and checked the surroundings.
"..."
He didn't take off his shoes and went quickly to his room.
"Haaam, I'm getting sleepy."
He yawned and lay down. He closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
While he was resting, a person wearing a mask came out of his closet. The intruder was holding a stun gun. He didn't have good intentions.
He approached him without a sound as he raised his weapon.
Just before he could hurt Calix, the sleeping man rose quickly and almost kicked the intruder.
"Ugh!"
The intruder was shocked and dodged the attack by a hair's breadth.
"Who are you?"
"..."
The intruder was silent.
"It's a good thing I brought my monocle. Otherwise I would not have noticed 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.
