As I started moving towards the source, my head turned fuzzy. I seem to see parts of my memory that don't belong to me.
A lady with long black hair like mine, with 2 women and the other 3 men trying to fight some strange beasts that I have never seen. They are protecting each other's backs and growing stronger together.
The scene changed to the black-haired woman drinking wine and having a party with her friends.
Then again, a golden-haired woman appeared out of nowhere and accused the black-haired woman of killing her friends, and she threw a mirror toward the woman.
These aren't my memories... I've got to wake up before this memory consumes me fully. I started to try my best to find an exit. and saw a black-haired woman smiling at me. The illusion broke, and I saw that exact black-haired woman with ruby eyes, like my dad and aunt, looking at me mischievously.
"Hey, it's your memory; why are you showing this to me?" I asked.
"You are me, I am you, and we are the same being now... My specialty is predicting the future. What you are seeing now is your future. but it would depend on your choice, but what you are seeing is the most probable one... That is why everyone wants me, but I only want you…"The mirror spoke in a hazy voice.
"But why do you want me? What will you get from me? I know nothing is free in this world; well, in no world…"I asked the mirror cautiously.
"Well, kiddo, not bad; your soul is much more mature than your body... You must have experience in another world... Yeah, nothing is free; you've got to find my missing gem that was in the center of the handle of the mirror. Only then can you fully use my power, and you will know the reason for your existence. Now, brat, you just have to cut a bit of your hand and put six drops of blood on the six shiny gems; you will know more later about everything slowly on your own," the mirror said slyly.
Humph, I won't sign a contract with you. My intuition says you are dangerous; you know so much even before our contract, and then you will know everything after our contact... It is kind of spooky…"I replied with an uninterested voice.
"Well, I am the best mirror here; you know, once I was a queen... Oops, it's not your time to know yet... Even if you don't choose me, other mirrors won't choose you either; you will die here. and if you die here, we have to wait thousands more years... Brat, it is not up to you anymore…"A flying mirror said decisively
Then my surroundings become chaotic, and a black hexagonal mirror starts to shine brightly. It flew toward me. I tried to dodge, but that damn mirror generated six anchors like needles from nowhere and prick me in the hand...
It started to take away my blood greedily, and I winced in pain. It seems after thousands of years, my pain is gone.
Within this moment, I saw a baby's soul being sent to another world through some rune... The baby grows up slowly, but surely not in a sunny environment. A pretty girl group bullied me for her mismatched eyes, slandered her for thrift, and so on. But the girl was still positive about life. Her only friend became a book. She also fed stray cats and dogs whenever she got the opportunity, although her life was hard. She becomes a high school student. The same pretty girl became campus belle, and bullying doesn't stop. Everyone said she was a jinx, so she was avoided. Only cats and dogs were not afraid of her, so without books, she got other friends... One day, while doing a daily reading session in the library, she found a book called "My Otherworldly Lover," which was like a fairy tale.
The story was about a girl who died suddenly but transmigrated with a system to save the world of Archion. On the way to saving the world, she made friends, had adventures, and also found love. Yeah, the novel heroine is the good girl, Flora, whose smile was like a fully blooming flower that could captivate anyone's mind.
But I don't know if it is a coincidence or not that the final boss had the same name as me, Lyra Aurelia Da Vamp. Her heart got corrupted by darkness as she was jealous of Lily, who got everyone's attention without doing anything while she got shadowed. She made a deal with the devil king to get the man she loved, but that man died to protect her loved rival, and she got sealed in a mirror.
The vision ends here, and when I woke up, I saw I was in a big room decorated with black and red, and I was also lying on a canopy bed. I tried to sit, and while doing so, I saw I got a brand new tattoo on my right wrist that wasn't there before. The tattoo is so pretty. It is like that hexagonal mirror in which six multicolored gems are inlaid in the six corners of the mirror. Also, it has a handle that is wrapped around the thorn of the rose vine. On the top of the rose vine there is a rose, and on top of that rose is the mirror. When I touch it, it materializes instantly. It is a bit rusty, a black hexagonal mirror. Only six multi-color gems are shining dimly, and the handle is the same as a tattoo, but in the middle of the rose is an empty space; it seems there was something... It is such a pretty hand mirror, but pity it's not in its best state now... I started to daydream about how pretty this mirror would be if it were in its best state. But then I heard a voice, and when I looked around, there was no one except me. Still, when I look in the mirror, I am astonished. The mirror is talking. Being sure, I asked the mirror if it was the one making a sound.
"You! Lilbrat, you know nothing about great me... I can not only talk but also see the future. We are now connected through our souls; now you are me, and I am you. To a Vampire, a mirror is forbidden except for their life. Mirror, you can only see your real reflection through me. Other mirrors are nothing to vampires as they are cursed to be a being between living and dead. Vampires are called creatures of darkness, but they are the only ones that can fight the devil king head-on, as others are affected by devil aurora. But if a vampire's heart is corrupted, they become more powerful devilspawn... So Lyra, if you don't want to be like your dream, NEVER FALL IN LOVE." The mirror replied very seriously, as our lives depend on it.
"Ahem, I just woke up; I don't know much about me and the world around me except Aunty Eco and my dad. So I am a vampire? Then the thing I drank earlier was blood? But why did no one tell me about this important thing? Why was that dad of mine gone after giving me a name? You know so much about the greatest mirror in the world, then answer me." I asked that grumpy mirror.
"Well, I am not that great. I am just another part of your soul that has psychic power, and your real body contains magic power... And the thing you drank was the holy blood of an angel, which is very rare. The father of yours is very good to you. Without the holy blood, you may turn into a mindless devil spawn, as you are not of pure bloodline. Vampires are good at dark magic by birth, but if they are pure breed, they may have more elements of magic power within them, but it is a pity for you!", The mirror replied. But it seems something is fishy here.
So from this grumpy mirror, I know I am not a pure vampire. Either my father or mother are of another race. I guess my mother is from another race. But where is she? Why didn't she come to see me when my aunt and dad came? There are so many questions that can only be answered when my dad or aunty comes... But I woke up for a long time. Why is no one coming for me? Should I explore outside on my own, but before that, I want to see myself in the mirror?
"Hey, My dear great mirror, you said I could only see myself in you, but you are so tiny, how can I see my full body with you? Why am I so unlucky? There were so many pretty mirrors there, but you, the ugly mirror, forced me to sign with you, humph." I said it with disdain.
The mirror started to shake nonstop, as if it were too angry. and flew to another side of the room.
So I had to leave my comfy bed, as I wanted to see the real me.
"Hey, I won't say you are ugly anymore. Please let me see my face, at least. My dad and my aunt are so pretty, so I should be pretty too, right?” I asked the grumpy mirror, hopefully.
Then the grumpy mirror flew to another corner of the room, so I had to play tag with it. But as I started running, my body felt so light like a feather, and I covered the whole big room within a second. But I started to feel tired after our nth play tag session, so I started to think something with my brain about how to keep this unruly mirror in check, and an evil grin appeared on my face.
"Hey, my dear great mirror, you have a name? asked the mirror gleefully.
"Nope, I don't need a name; only my master can name me,", the mirror replied angrily.
"As you bound yourself to me and said you are part of me, I am your master, so I name you Bao, the great mirror, "I said in a cheerful voice.
As I said this, the mirror started to glow, and I started to feel a burning pain in the tattoo on my wrist. After some time, the rusty mirror—I mean, my Bao—turned into a pretty silver mirror, although the gems are still shining dimly. Also, I seem to know my mirror has a gem missing that should be at the core of the rose on the handle of the mirror. But how I felt like that, I don't know. Anyway, there is a lot of mystery to solve; one more won't make any more difference... But the problem is, after the naming incident, my mirror went back inside my tattoo without saying anything, and as much as I tried to rub my tattoo, to no avail, my Bao didn't come outside for once... But my wrist turned red. Also, I am hungry too.
But after calling a few more times, a dazzling hexagonal mirror manifested in front of me, and the mirror started to increase its size but was still hovering in the air. It felt like a giant hand mirror. I am fully astonished by what I can see in the mirror.
When I was looking in the mirror, I could see a very pale child of 10 years with long black hair touching the floor. My hair is very silky and soft to the touch. My lips are red as blood, and they are so plump that anyone would want to take a bite of them.But why would anyone bite my lips? I guess my adult mind is messing with my pure angelic mind and body? But the main attraction of my face is my Heterochromia. My one eye is red as a ruby and shining like a jewel, and my other eye is dark as the night sky, without any star or moon. It is like a mini-black hole that can suck away anyone's breath and hypnotize them. I have a pretty nose too, but my teeth are a bit abnormal. But normal for my current race.I have four pretty fangs that look like canines, but they aren't as big as I saw in the movie series in my previous life. Now when I try to smile, I feel like I look like a bit of a villain and am intimidating, but who cares? I will be pretty like Lyra in the book when I grow up. But
When I wake up again, the sky is pitch black, or maybe it is due to the rose's magic. After I woke up, I called Rose, and she again came out of nowhere.How can you come out of nowhere, Rose? I saw Aunty Eco, and my dad has done the same." I asked with anticipation."My little princess Lyra, this is called teleportation. You can also do it when you are a talent level 4 vampire or over.""Rose, what is my level now?", I asked while playing with my silky hair."Pardon me, I have no idea, little princess Lyra... Your dad would take you to check your power this evening at our sacred altar. You will know in detail which elements you have an affinity with and your talent level." She said this while performing a cleaning spell on me."Ok, I understand, Rose," I replied while looking around my room with sparkly eyes.Unlike when I woke up, this room has a large canopy bed, a dressing room full of different types of dresses, a reading table, and a comfy chair. Also, one side of the room has a b
When I woke up again, I saw a girl gradually grow up in a world like Earth. She was a girl with a shiny and bubbly personality. Everyone loved her. She had a loving family, but one day a black vortex came out of nowhere and sucked her in, and then she was thrown into another world where she knew nothing.People there worshipped her as a saint, but later they came to know their saint had an affinity for dark magic, so they wanted to kill her and summon another saint with the power of light to seal the devil king. She ran away from her own race and came into vampire territory unknowingly, but when other vampires didn't want to accept a human, the prince of Darkania came and accepted her on two conditions. Condition No. 1 was that she had to change her race, and Condition No. 2 was that she had to join him in sealing the devil king.She accepted the second condition, but as for the first, she wanted to keep her human consciousness, so she proposed the idea of marrying one of the vampires.
After taking the Black rose jeweled necklace, Bao came out on her own and started to dance in mid-air. When my dad saw Bao, He bowed."Greetings, The greatest queen of Vampires!", My dad said respectfully."No need; I am not that fool anymore... Only half of my soul is in this mirror, and the other half is in that black rose jewel. Can I have this?" Bao asked gently."But within this Jewel, my mom's last part of the soul is in; how can I give it to you, bao?" I said this while crying."Don't worry, child. You are extremely lucky that your mom left this Jewel for you; with this jewel, my soul would be completed and the curse on vampires would be lifted. We won't be creatures that are neither dead nor alive anymore." She said this while pondering something."But what about my mom?" I asked.Bao is silent, and so is my father too. Both of them can understand my dilemma."I can restore your mom's soul if a bit of her soul is in there, But it would take a long time, and you have to be power
After learning everything, I came to understand how powerful the vampire race is and how badly I need to protect my heart from dark thoughts. The dark magic is powerful, but it is easy to lose control and do a massacre, so I decided not to fall in love and help my ancestor, as helping her also helps our full race, and my mom's soul can be nourished.So I said confidently and bowed my head towards my life mirror, aka the greatest vampire queen Luna Ariana Da Vamp, "I have already decided, the greatest queen of vampires, that I would give you the black rose gem as it would benefit all of our clansmen. We can approach the light again. Also, you said you would help restore my mom's soul. So, it's a good deal.""But dear, you can treat me as your friend, Bao, like before. I will continue to guide you as you become stronger. The faster you grow up, the faster your mom can be resurrected. The necklace would be the same as now; just the mirror would fuse with the gem. Now I can even come outsi
I woke up in a bed, but this time it was not a new bed but the old canopy one, and someone was holding my hands."You woke up? It is great! I thought I would lose you like your mom. Don't do so much risky work like this anymore. You still have your dad... If I could have found out some way, then you wouldn't have to suffer this much. I am sorry, my dear child,", My dad said while having a shaky voice. He pats my head lightly while looking at me very affectionately. I can feel his love for me, and I think he is missing someone whom he reminisces about while seeing me... I can guess, but I'm not sure if I should bring it up or not. I should use this rare moment to make a good memory and get a lot of love from my dearest dad. But I still want to know about my mom; I would rather play by ear."Dad.. ", I tried to call my dad affectionately, but I cannot say it anymore, and my voice sounds hoarse. I have the desire to drink something that can quench my thirst. Dad seems to understand what i
We finished our garden tour and the little tea party without talking about anything more. While I would go back to my room, I would ask my dad with both confidence and a confused tone,” Really, no one can change their destiny? What would happen if we tried to change others’ destinies? Nothing can be constant, right? We should be the ones who shape our destinies. Our karma would decide everything. Who cares about the result if I can try my best?”My dad stared at me with her red-gilded eyes, which were shining like a red ruby. His eyebrows raised slightly, and he raised the corner of his mouth and started to talk with me in a soft voice that sounded like a song to me. "My dear daughter; My Lyra. I am proud of you!”He also asked,” Do you want to know what would happen if you interfered with others’ destiny?”I nodded in response.“Okay. If you insist, I will tell you. You may have some vision, as your mother was a saint, and all saints can see the future to a certain extent. But everyon
Everything around me started to come back to life. The altar started to glow, and the dark orb began to release dark particles. Many creatures that can live in the dark came back to life. Everything changed; the twin moon started to glow, and the altar started to look more mysterious—dark but blooming with life.I came back to my feet, and where I stepped, there blossomed a flower, the red lily, the flower of death.I ran to my dad, hugged him, and told him what happened. He listened to me seriously and carried me in his arms. At the same time, Bao came out and told me to stop the mana flow or else I would drop dead even before my mission was completed. But the problem was that I didn't know what mana flow was or what mana was. I tried to concentrate as I saw in different novels. When I focused, I seemed to see something like some darkish green particles emitting from my body. My whole body is full of those particles. I guess these particles are called mana. But they are more concentra
