Nytheris finally looked at Avelisse, "Tell me, what should we do? Live isolated in this palace until we become bored enough to kill ourselves?" Her voice was calm.
She was still very young, and now she was constricted in a kingdom that wasn't even enough to walk for someone of her strength. Every race might be waiting for her to come out so that they could end the vampire race completely from this world.
Avelisse thought for a moment before she remembered something, "Master, how about using the Fate Stone?" They had a very unique treasure in their hand, the Fate Stone. Only two such stones had been found until now.
Nytheris squinted her eyes, "You think someone is fated with me?"
Fate Stones had only one use, to find the perfect resonating soul with the user of the Fate Stone. In other words, if someone with soul resonance does exist, then he or she is perfect for you. You will feel attracted to each other, not just physically, but on a soul level.
The Fate Stone not only finds them but also brings them in front of you, unless the other person is strong enough to resist it.
Avelisse didn't get scared of her master squinting her eyes, "Why can't you accept it, Master? Why not try? If someone doesn't exist, then nothing will happen... and if by chance someone does exist, then just don't fall in love with him or her."
Nytheris knew that Avelisse was somewhat challenging her with the last sentence, not much was known about how soul resonance works, but it was said that it is impossible to resist the attraction force.
She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them, "Bring it."
Avelisse smiled hearing this, "As you wish, Master..." She disappeared and a few seconds later came back with a dark purplish stone, it was big enough to be held in two hands.
It looked ordinary, but those who knew what it could do would call it anything but ordinary, it was said that this stone didn't have any limit... it could search the whole cosmic universe to find if someone's soul is resonating with you or not.
Nytheris sighed and stood before coming in front of Avelisse and took the stone in her hand. Avelisse stepped back a little, as if someone was really found, they would be pulled here.
Nytheris looked at the stone for a few seconds and used her nails to cut one finger and drop her shining red blood, it looked like burning crimson, like the blood of some divine being, which was true, all Rank 10 beings are gods in this world.
As the blood dropped on the stone, Nytheris imbued it with her mana, and after two seconds, the stone left her hand and began floating in front of her, it was searching for her fated person.
The searching itself didn't destroy the Fate Stone, and it could be used again after 100 years, but if someone was found, then it would destroy itself to use the energy needed for teleportation.
...
Asher was walking toward his home, which was in a high-society area, he lived alone, he had bought his home with his own money. His parents weren't poor either, they had big hotels under their name.
While growing up, he was left with maids to take care of him, he never even felt his parents' true love, all they wanted was money and how to make more. He also had a big brother who had begun to help in the family business, unlike him, who didn't give a fuck about it.
Asher's life was simple, classes, games, and at night, enjoying masturbation... he could have gotten girlfriends, but he never found one he liked, there might be two reasons for that, maybe his taste in beauty was skewed by beautiful 2D girls, and second was his skill, which told him their personalities, so he liked his life of solitude.
Although he had feeling that he just never met the person who will make him that way.
Just as he reached his home and was about to open the door, a shining purple circle formed beneath his feet, his eyes widened in shock, and before he could even think of anything, his vision blurred, and when he was finally able to see, all he could see was multiple shining lights passing like shooting stars.
When he looked around, he realized that he was floating in a void, and those shooting stars were nothing but behemoth stars.
The fact that they were so far and yet were passing like shooting stars meant his speed was definitely far greater than even the speed of light.
Asher was thoroughly stunned, was it a dream?
His hand was still holding the key to his house, and his backpack was still on his shoulder, it was hard to believe that it was a dream looking at these things.
His body seemed to be covered in a purple mist, he didn't know what it was, but no doubt this was the thing that was protecting him from dying immediately in the void.
He tried to use his skill, as it had worked on everything until now, but even after watching it for enough time to get almost all knowledge about something, he didn't even get its name.
He stopped using it and looked at the stars that were passing by, this shit was too unbelievable, it seemed too similar to those novels he had read, transmigration to another world, was it though?
Some stars were passing quite closely, but he wasn't able to properly see them due to his speed... suddenly his eyes landed on a strange cluster, it looked like a nebula, but certainly none he knew until now.
It was on the left side and covered almost all of his view, it really was massive, those stars looked like small fireflies in front of it, suddenly his eyes went to a blue shining light that left the area that looked like a nebula.
Asher was shocked, as this light wasn't moving past like other stars, but it seemed to be coming toward him, and its speed was definitely higher than his, as it was catching up to him.
He was afraid, fuck that, he was afraid of even the purple mist covering him, he didn't even know what was happening to him, now there was one more thing that seemed interested in him.
