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

I lost all four games, losing a total of eight times before the torture was over. By the last game, I just wanted to get out of there. I gave the good card I got to the winner of the tournament since I didn't see myself playing that much.

"So, what did you think of that?" Goldy asked as everyone was cleaning up, and I looked around the room at the smiling girls. I had signed a bunch of cards and a few chests for the girls, and they all seemed to have had a great time. That was a win in my books, even if the game really wasn't for me.

"Honestly, I am just glad that everyone likes it, even if I don't really approve of the less-than-savory art. I am curious how you are going to get people to buy them or how you are going to distribute them?" I asked, and Goldy grinned.

"We are going to give a bunch away in the major cities first and then see what people think of them, and then we will start delivering more and get more sets in development. I think that the game has potential, and it does what you wanted, letting everyone know who you are so you don't have to keep explaining yourself. There is tons of trivia, and I will be heading this project, so I will make sure that all the major islands get them! You can also hand them out to the people you meet as well. Some might think they are cute, while others might like it more, but you can never really know until you put the thing right in front of them, right?" Goldy asked, and I nodded appreciatively.

"Right! Well, thanks again for taking the liberty with my cards. It was nice to be able to do something like this together," I said, and Goldy smiled before giving me a hug. "But what do you want to do next? I am starting to get a bit hungry."

"I know a good place!" Goldy said and then waved at all the girls before gesturing for a portal to a place of clouds with a massive golden building on the other side of it. "This is the Angels island's Annie-gelic's Cake House; it has some strange but amazingly sweet food if you don't mind that is not really supper food. I think they do have some more savory dishes, but come on!"

I followed Goldy in, and I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head! The place looked like something out of a fairytale. An Angel was standing by the door, and there were chandeliers made from crystal hanging from the ceiling. As I looked around, I noticed that the walls were covered in art of cakes and desserts, and there was a giant cake at the center of the room.

"Welcome! This is Annie-gelic's Cake House. We are very excited to have you here," said the Angel before leading us over to one of the tables that had already been set up with two chairs and a tablecloth made out of gold silk.

I looked around again as Goldy took her seat, completely in awe of what I was seeing. "This place looks like something from another world!" I exclaimed, and Goldy smiled before waving for an Angel waitress to bring us some menus.

"Everything here is made from unique ingredients gathered from all over Terra; it's why it tastes so good," she explained as we skimmed our menus, looking through all the different things they offered.

After some debating on what we wanted to eat, we settled on ordering three dishes; a strawberry tart topped with edible gold leaves, a raspberry macaroon sandwich filled with white chocolate mousse, and lastly, caramel-covered ice cream topped with sugared pecans. Once our order was placed I couldn't help but let my eyes wander around again; everything looked so beautiful and perfect!

Each dessert had its own unique flair that set them apart from anything else available in this world that I had tried yet. Even though it wasn't really supper food, it still tasted amazing! Every bite melted in my mouth like pure bliss! By the time the meal was done, I felt like all the stress had left my body. It felt great going somewhere other than the human island every once in a while!

"Well, we better get back to the dwarf island before it gets too late," Goldy said as she waved for a portal to open. "But I am sure you will want to come back here again."

I nodded before stepping through the portal and back into the golden room where I had first found Goldy in. Once the portal closed, Goldy turned to me with a grin. "Are you in a hurry to get anywhere?"

"I am all yours tonight," I smiled, and her smile widened.

"I was hoping that you were going to say that. I have really wanted to sit down and talk with you, and I also have some alcohol that has been giving me lonely eyes on my shelves for the last couple of centuries," Goldy laughed gently and then looked up at me as she offered me her arm, but I scooped her up.

"I think that this was your standard mode of transportation when we used to spend time together, right? I still like it better," I said, and Goldy laughed before putting her arms around my neck.

"So you can remember things now? It's not just me?" Goldy asked, and I leaned down slowly to kiss her.

"Yes, my little Au, I remember you and betting on everything," I smiled as I pulled back, and Goldy wiped her eyes. Au was my nickname for her, and I only called her it in private.

"You remember!" she exclaimed as I put her down and then hugged me tightly.

"Yes, so now is the time where you show me this alcohol that you have been hoarding," I said with a playful smirk, and Goldy laughed before taking my hand and leading me to her room.
