500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"True, but I will mark each of them and take care of them all. I understand what could happen, but after countless lifetimes, this is the first time that Karma has asked anything of me like this. Never once has she asked me something that was for her. Do you honestly think that I could say no to her? She convinced me to try to win over Fate for crying out loud," I groaned, and Leo laughed.

"Yes, I heard about that! The other reason most won't talk to you is that your head is notoriously hard, and getting through to you when you have made up your mind is practically impossible, but at least Piccolo did try. You might want to think about seeing how the others are sometimes doing. I know you are busy, but even if time stops here, you really don't need to get into this hornet's nest yet. You already dealt with Aries, so the others can wait for a bit," Leo said and then looked me up and down. "You seem to be a bit better now? How is the water pressure?"

"Normal, strangely enough, but I still don't feel like I have gotten anywhere with my problems," I said, shaking my head in frustration.

"Maybe you just need to take a break. I know that you have done an amazing thing, and you don't need my approval, but maybe after this, you should think about taking a vacation or something? You deserve it, no matter what anyone says," Leo said, and then I nodded slowly because he was right, but I still wasn't sure if it was the proper thing to do at this point in time.

"Maybe, but I still feel like I can't until I figure out what is really going on. I still feel like there is some kind of secret my parents and the Guides are keeping from me," I said, and then hesitated before asking, "Do you think I am being paranoid?"

Leo cocked his head to the side and looked at me for a moment as if trying to decide how to answer that question. "I don't think you are being paranoid, but I also believe you should always trust your instincts. If you feel like something isn't right, you should investigate it. That being said, don't go looking for trouble. You should always keep one foot planted firmly in reality while exploring your suspicions."

I smiled and shook my head slowly. "Sometimes I forget that you aren't just my brother; you are wise too. Thank you for listening to me. Now back to the issue at hand. What do you think of helping me get the Winds ready to leave here? You made it seem like you were worried, but you are not telling me to leave them here?"

"Wise might be a stretch, but I have a different view than you. As for the Winds? I am concerned, but it is you taking them. Who else could do this but you?" Leo asked and then stood up from the water. "You are doing what you think is right, and it has gotten you this far, even if the path wasn't the one you wanted." He smiled sadly and then stepped out of the water. "I am going to see my wife, and you should get back."

The portal opened, and he stepped through it, but I stayed behind a moment longer, watching it close after him. Leo was right. I had made a plan and stuck to it even when things became tough. I didn't always have the answers, and oftentimes I felt like my parents and the Guides were keeping things from me, but I did what I thought was best for everyone involved. Now I needed to do this last thing the best I could before taking a break, however long that might be.

I created a portal back to my place just outside my room and stepped through, knocking on the door. I waited a few moments, and then it opened.

"Come on in," Karma said, smiling as she saw me, then stepping aside so I could enter.

Tallia, Cancer, Luck, and Destiny were behind her, and they were standing around a small tent in the center of my room. I had to assume that Fate and Murphy were in there, but this whole operation has me on edge and feeling a bit nervous.

"Okay, let's just see them so we can get going. All this cloak and dagger is giving me a stomach ache," I groaned as Karma pulled me into my room.

She nodded and then pulled the entrance of the tent open. Inside were two people, once Fate and Murphy, who had been changed from male to female form. They both looked shocked but smiled when they saw me, but not quite as shocked as I was.

Both of them were 10s... no... Tallia was a 10... these two were... 9.7s?

Murphy was now a beautiful redhead with soft pink cheeks, long legs, and milky skin. The skirt and dress she wore barely held back her curves and her eyes sparkled with mischief. Fate was a bit different, but still with that same scowl. Her hair was black, and she had deep brown eyes with full lips. Her figure was willowy but still graceful and the double D cannon strapped to her chest and full ass made up for the thinness and delicateness.

Truthfully, they two looked way too cute and innocent for my own good. Half my mind was already doing horrible things to them, while the other half was screaming for it to stop.

"Hello, Galio," Fate said, looking away sheepishly as she adjusted her skirts.

"Hey there," I replied, not sure what else to say.

Murphy smiled brightly at me while Fate just looked around the room nervously. It was a bit odd seeing them like this, but it made sense in a way.

"You two look... younger," I said, trying not to stare.
