Chapter 76

Lucky 76

The silence lingered on as the woman intently thought of the situation. The laboratory was sound still except for the strong fast-beating in her heart.

Kimberly was staring at the pistol for a while, her mind was in turmoil. The shock was too much for her, she shook her head and took off her glasses. She had to reset her brain. 

While she was waiting for the time for her clumsy self to reappear, she realized that she could not see the Runes anymore. 

"This means that it only works when I wear my glasses."

She concluded one fact. She was amazed by how Calix's power works. The fact that she was seeing the Runes, and she understood what they meant, was certainly out of this world. She did not know any person who could read Runes in the current era.

The pure Dwarves were already extinct yet here she was reading their creations as if she was a Dwarf. 

Kimberly did not know if she had Dwarven blood in her veins, but it was not enough to justify what she was witnessing. Only one aspect changed, she had sex with a person who had the power of Luck. 

Kimberly recalled how Calix bypassed the security of the Game Center that she proudly created. Calix won a lot of prizes and made her invention into a shit. She spent time just to find the answer but she could never find it, Luck was out of her expectations. Yet here she was staring at the miracle made of  Luck. 

"Oops, the Backlash is taking its effect, I can feel my head getting blurry."

Kimberly put glasses on and she confirmed that her deduction was right. She could read the Runes again when she put on her glasses. 

She could not help but open her mouth. She made a discovery. Now, the question is: Is she going to tell it to others or not? 

"I will never jeopardize Calix. I will rather die than tell it to others."

Kimberly said with no hesitation. The discovery regarding Calix's power was shocking but it was not enough to erase her love. In fact, her love became stronger. She realized that she needed Calix more than ever. 

Was it because of her thirst for knowledge? Perhaps. But it didn't change the fact that she loves him. Maybe she just want to have Calix all for herself that's why she didn't want to tell this discovery to others. No matter what the reasons, Kimberly decided to keep this promise to herself. 

She became excited and looked at the pistol, she started scribbling something on the board. She got some inspiration and her mind started working nonstop as if she had taken doping drugs. Her hands moved endlessly and wrote everything that was coming out of her mind. But of course, she didn't write anything related to Calix. She was not stupid to do that. 

She gulped when she was finished, she realized that she answered all of her questions about the pistol in just one writing. It was all because of the sex that she experienced together with Calix. And she was dying to have him again. 

Kimberly decided to do some technical analysis. She checked the pistol and studied the Runes, just like what she expected these Runes were new to her. They were not written on the books that she had in the library. She could understand what they meant but she could not describe nor pronounce them. Perhaps they were the ancient words of the Dwarves. 

"Their meaning is Sturdy, Intelligence and Intensity. Perhaps the Sturdy is talking about the toughness of the pistol despite being a simple iron. As for Intensity, it's talking about the intense firepower of the pistol. As for the Intelligence, it's about..."

She comprehended, perhaps she was not entirely correct but she knew that her answer was close to the right one.  She took a deep breath and touched the pistol, it had a rough surface. It was funny that despite the Runes being there, she could not feel them, as if they were written in another dimension. 

"… Let's start with some experiment."

Kimberly knew some Runic Symbols, she tried writing them in the past but nothing happened. She was wondering what would happen if she tried writing right now. 

She decided to start with a simple Runic Symbol, Light. She used chalk and wrote the symbol, she knew the exact image and she replicate it nicely. She was waiting for any reaction but nothing occurred. She tilted her head. 

"Did I miss something?"

She was confused and recalled every knowledge she knew about Runic Symbols. 

"Ah, yes the energy. Runic Symbols will only work if there is a fuel."

She nodded and looked for a liquid battery, liquid battery was the common energy for Battle Suit. They were attached to the Battle Suit and powered it up. 

Kimberly found the right amount of liquid and poured it into the symbol. She started smiling and her eyes gleamed. Sure enough she was seeing a reaction. The symbol lit up and brightened the laboratory. Kimberly became excited and she jumped out of happiness, she felt that she achieved something that no person could achieve. 

She could write Runes! The lost technology of Dwarves that humanity was eager to learn. Kimberly was smiling from ear to ear. Her crystal purple eyes shone, this was the exact expression she had when she invented the Flying Car.

The achievement that no other could reach, she accomplished them. Of course, she was happy. However, she did not have an ounce of intent to tell her discoveries to others, this Rune reading power was hers and hers alone. 

"More, I have to experiment more!"

She stood up and ran towards the library to get the books about Runes. Some maids were confused why Kimberly was running in the hallway but they didn't ask her, they just bowed their heads and greeted her. Kimberly took the books and started her experiments, her smile further glowed whenever she successfully created a working Rune. 

However, after 8 tries, she realized that the effects started to wear off. She looked at the Runic Symbols and she learned that she could not read them anymore, the effects of her Luck vanished. 

"Perhaps creating Runes used too much of Luck. Sure enough, everything has limitations."

Kimberly was not disappointed. As a matter of fact, she was delighted to learn that Luck has an ending. This means that she had reason to keep having sex with Calix. This was her main goal anyway, to have his body and heart. Expanding her knowledge was just a side quest. She licked her lips, grabbed her phone, and dialed Calix's phone number.
