"So... basically... all the bad stuff that has been happening to me has been amended?" Fero glanced into J's eyes who seemed lost in some reverie.
MM, seeing her boss in thought, took his place and nodded, "Seems so."
"I guess a multitude of things came about for it to happen though. First, you were affected by bad luck and ended up dying... which mitigated your bad luck of the day. Second, you arrived her–ahem, you tried lecherous things with me, that must've rubbed some good luck on you. Third, J blessed you luck too. It means you were all set to win the lottery." MM muttered.
'I swear I heard some strange things...' Fero calmed himself down and curiously asked, "Mitigated my bad luck? By dying? What does that mean?"
"It means... umm... see, everyone has some random distribution of luck and bad luck for the day. Since you used up your bad luck on dying. And retained your good luck... it meant pretty much you wouldn't have had gotten anything bad anyways. But you got something very good because of the marvelous luck that always enshrouds me and got rubbed onto you by chance."
Fero rolled his eyes, 'But that's honestly quite a nice thing... so every person has a set amount of good luck and bad luck distributed randomly, huh? And it can be expired too?'
MM scoffed and looked away. While Fero looked toward her and asked innocently, "So what is my skill set anyways? It's quite nice just listening to you two marvel but I deserve to feel conceited and arrogant too."
MM scoffed and kept quiet. While J snapped out of his thoughts and turned towards him, "It's a skill you will love dearly... with the person you are." He chuckled cheekily.
Before, with a snap of his fingers, the room shuffled and Fero found himself suspended in middle of a gigantic magic triangle that could fit about a fifty of him inside.
"Wh-What's happening now?" Fero exclaimed. Seeing MM and J standing on a corner each, with a creepy ghastly figure, wrapped in a blanket of pure darkness and embellished by a dark flame like thingy fluttering atop his head like a crest, occupying the third corner.
J chortled and peered straight into Fero's eyes, "Want to know a secret?"
"That all this is a scam?" Fero tilted his head.
J nearly choked himself, and looking visibly pale, as if terrified at being caught and commented, "Y-You were chosen by mistake."
Fero's lips spasmed, "What bullshit are you spouting now?"
MM grinned, flashing him a gaze one flashed to a cockroach, "The lightening was never supposed to hit you."
Fero's expression squeezed together before suddenly, his brows enlightened, "Shit!" His brows shot up in enlightenment, "You guys wanted Malty!"
The dark figure, speaking in a echoy, deep voice, chuckled, "She was quite the character. We thought she would settle well with us."
Fero clicked his tongue, "Tch! I not only saved her from death... I even saved her from these scammers."
J's expression turned even more sallow, "Listen, Fero, your ability would've actually been quite useless. In your world or in any other world. But the world you luckily happened to choose, its going to be cracked there. You must make good use of it."
The dark figure sighed, "We had quite a lot to discuss with you, you know?"
Suddenly, the circle started to brighten up with a multitude of colors.
MM smiled sweetly, oozing a tender, soft vibe, "You mustn't dis–"
"No!" J's eyes peered into the distance, his pretense fell and turned truly grim, "This is terrible. They're nearing sharply!"
"Drop the flashy drama." The dark figure frowned and slammed the ground, causing the cheap LED lights implanted within to blast as he quickly arrived in front of Fero and gave him a sharp smack across the cheek.
"Quickly, get isekaied!" J also bolted toward him and slapped him across the other cheek.
Fero, feeling light and weightless, held both his cheeks in dumbfoundness, 'Shit... I will get my revenge.'
MM also sashayed over and stood in front of him, frowning, "Why be so harsh? Look, be gentle."
She leaned forward, protruding her lips, causing Fero's heart to flutter.
Just before their lips connected, MM smirked playfully and kneed him in the balls.
"UGH!" Spit spurted out of his mouth, as he, without any resistance, collapsed limply. His eyes rolled back, his face frozen into the depiction of misery.
J laughed, before directing a solemn pair of eyes at Fero, "You must make it."
"Enough playing around. Let's go." The dark figure looked towards J.
The latter turned towards him and nodded, "You stay away from this, Vellord."
Vellord paused for a moment before nodding.
J heaved a sigh and after a moment of silence, snapped his fingers.

"My, you need to share the coffee beans you used, J," MM smiled as she sniffed the warm coffee before proceeding to take a sip.
"It will be my pleasure." J raised his cup in assurance.
The rich fragrance of incense brewed out from all the corners of the room decorated by ancient yet marvelous tapestries and paintings of fighting angels.
A large chandelier hung above the center of the long dinning table, suited for a hundred guests, whose head chairs were occupied by the two.
The mellow yellow lights danced about, and music from 1800's played on a disk.
Their cups clinked on the tea-plate as they chatted away, unperturbed by the distance.
The flowers, whose petals oozed off mysterious purple shimmers, aligned neatly on the sides, squeezing the opposite side's face in between its wonder.
MM, while being garrulous on some succubus trivialities of how the men treated her as if she had no heart, raised her hand toward the cup.
Just before her supple lips connected to the shimmering surface of the coffee, the cup started to rattle fiercely.
A glint flashed in J's eyes, and a light enveloped the table, saving them from the terrible fate of the rest of the room.
The delicate tapestries blasted one after another, the paintings fell with their polished mouldings breaking apart.
Suddenly, all the trembling halted, as if the earthquake had passed. Before with a booming explosion the right wall exploded into smithereens.
And two figures landed on the floor in full style.
"What's this terrible scent?" A slender man with a pair of lustrous, scaly, angelic white wings frowned and questioned.
"It's incense, Jerry." Panra smiled. Who, upon seeing MM, flexed his macho, large muscles and flashed a broad smile. "How do I look, Master Miss?"
"Ugly!" MM scoffed and proceeded to sip her coffee.
Panra, unaffected, laughed aloud. Before like a shadow, creeped behind MM and clasped the back-support of her chair with his tanned skinned large hand.
"What did you say?" His stentorian voice turned soft and cold, like magma cooling off and miraculously turning into dry ice.
"Ugly." MM repeated and placed her empty cup down.
"Oh!" Panra scratched his head sheepishly and nodded, "Hahaha! No worries, you remember I have bad hearing, right?" MM rolled her eyes.
Jerry, scrutiniseing the room keenly, and feeling the turbulent wind swarm inside from the fresh gap, frowned, "Your taste disappoints me still."
J smiled, "Why have you the audacity to come in my place and criticise my collection? Destroying my property to boot."
Jerry spat to the side, "Like I give a damn about your illusions." He spun his eyes once more before asking fiercely, "Where's the Herald?"
"Already on her way." J smiled.
Panra paused and directed his seething eyes toward J, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"Already on his way." J replied politely still.
"Oh! I see, seems we are late." Panra nodded despondently.
"Like crap I am buying that." Jerry spat to the side and strutted toward the chair in the middle and ensconced himself, "So... what's that useless crap of yours like this time?"
"Malty? I take it? That's her name right?"
J smiled, "Quite yes. And I take it your bastard this time is a girl too? Some noble-woman I take it?"
"Hmph!" Jerry yawned bemusedly and stared at MM, a loathsome glint flashed in his eyes, "So what kind of appendage did she obtain, whore?"
MM leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, not bothering to answer.
Meanwhile, Panra frowned and boomed in his mountain-splitting voice, "What did you say?"
Jerry's expression twisted, "I didn't say anything to you, deaf bastard!" He muttered the last words under his breath.
"Hmm!" Panra strode to the chair in front of Jerry and flumped down, breaking it, and still casually crossing his legs.
"So what kind of ability did your's acquire, MM?" Panra stared at MM with his large, unflinching, brown eyes.
MM leaned forward and grinned, "First you."
Jerry curled his tongue, mustering his spit to the tip, and hurled it in MM's direction, "Damned traitor whore."
MM's and J's expression twisted.
MM had a reason, while J was staring at one of the shadows—at the ghastly maw grinning maliciously.
He tapped the table and exclaimed, "How uncourteous of me... I have not offered anything to my guests."
Instantly, hot coffee spawned on the plates in front of the two guests.
Panra raised the cup and sipped it, before spitting it out with a disgusted expression, "What's this? It's worse than what MM cooks."
Jerry stared at the coffee for a while, before spitting in it in contempt.
"Those are quite some words." A terrifying aura beamed out of J, his green eyes turning crimson.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Veins bulged out of Panra's forehead. The muscles of his back wriggled, as if alive, and turned into large smooth wings. As he flapped them, his human skin turned glittery and shiny silver.
As his aura and J's collided, the rest of the walls exploded in succession.
Leaving only the dinning table intact, situated atop a thin pillar of rock, that travelled down, alone, to the maws of abyss.
"This time," Jerry started and stood up on the little ground that was intact, "Our Herald drew a terrifying appendage. You better pray she doesn't end up toying around with your Herald... bitches."
With a humph, he turned away, "Lets go... Panra."
Panra, scintillating marvelously like a piece of art under the sun, flapped his wings and flew up in the air. Glancing at MM, he extended his hand, "Let's go home, Master Miss."
MM paused and looked into Panra's eyes, "Head on... Panra."
With a harrowing boom, Panra blasted away into the distance, extinguishing the planet beneath him, in, but dust.
Leaving only the lonely table to float in empty darkness.
J looked into the distance and smiled, "So they acquired some nice appendage for their Herald?"
"We also acquired a brilliant surprise for them too... " MM's lips parted, revealing her grinding teeth.
Vellord morphed out of the darkness and settled onto a chair to the side, "This time... things will be interesting."
