92 The Great Prophet and Destiny
While children were playing inside the room, the grown-ups were outside. Brian also arrived since it was Gabriel that came to his house, not just some random person.
They talked about some minor things until Gabriel suddenly asked “Mr. Brian, have you perhaps heard about Chaos Online?”
Brian’s eyes narrowed as he asked “I have but how did you hear about it?”
“Recently, there was a conference between three races. It wasn’t a normal conference since the person who called us was Lucy Bathory.”
When Brian and Charlotte heard her name, their eyes narrowed.
Originally, Gabriel wanted to say ‘your wife’ but when he found out that Charlotte is engaged to him, he decided to use her name.
“We were very much surprised because she rarely ever comes to the conference. During the conference, not just her, one more vampire from her family came. Lycan called her the Great Prophet and she said that you are the one chosen to represent earth in Chaos Online.”
“The Great Prophet!!!”
Suddenly, Lena stood up when she heard that name. She looked at him and asked, “Are you sure she was called ‘the Great Prophet’?”
Gabriel was surprised by her outburst but he collected his thoughts and nodded.
“Even Lycan showed the same expression as you and the Great Prophet also called Lucy ‘Princess’. I did manage to link these things but I don’t know how it matters much.”-(0)ᴠʟ.
“Of course, it matters.” Lena’s expression changed drastically. She looked at Brian and said, “It turned out not just me, but many other powerful characters are already trying to manipulate you to be part of your destiny.”
Hearing her words, Brian narrowed his eyes.
Although he believed in destiny, for him, it had a scientific reason and that’s all he understood. But, for powerhouses, destiny had a bigger meaning that he had been unable to understand.
He collected his thoughts and asked “So, can you tell me more about this prophet? Who is she?”
Lena slowly calmed down and sat on the couch.
“The Great Prophet is a terrifying existence that has lived from the beginning of the vampire race. She was born at the same age as the Progenitor of Vampires. She was given the title of ‘Noblesse’ since her existence was only equal to the lord of vampires.”
“Unlike lord or other vampires though, she had managed to live until now and she is known for her Immortality. Do you know have any idea for how long the vampire has been living in our universe?”
Brian nodded his head and said “Approximately 10 billion years since the beginning of the universe. Their first planet was a big large planet which had the properties of blood that mutated their genes.”
“Ahh” Lena opened her mouth wide as she didn’t expect him to know that.
Brian rolled his eyes and said “I have studied this entire cosmos. I might not know things between powerhouses but I know a lot about this universe itself.” (O)ᴠʟ
“I am not even surprised,” Charlotte commented and folded her arms. She looked at Gabriel and asked, “Is there anything else that she told about Brian?”
Both Lena and Brian turned their heads at Gabriel after Charlotte asked this question.
Gabriel shook his head and said “She only came to inform you that you are going to represent the earth in Chaos Online? What is Chaos Online anyway?”
“It’s a game just New Gods but works on a universal level.” Brian answered.
Gabriel’s eyes widened as he asked “Does that mean you can get stronger in that game?”
Brian nodded his head and said “That’s just the gist of it. There are different floors, each with its own world. You will be given several quests and finally a chance to cross the floor. Once you cross the floor, you will earn the points.”
“Then, you can use the points to access the gene mutation of a certain planet or species of that planet. Once gene mutation hits 100%, their bloodline will be awakened once.”
“Then, you have to hit 100% gene mutation once again to awaken the bloodline two times. Do you know how many times Wraith’s father has awakened his bloodline?”
Gabriel shook his head. How could he know about such a thing?
“Five times! Lucy has only awakened two times and she is already the strongest person on earth. If she hadn’t been banished from her planet and revoked her identity, she would’ve still received the blessing of that planet and could’ve awakened up to five-time as well.”
“Since both vampire and werewolves leaders have awakened their bloodline five times. Once humans of our earth can awaken the bloodline, they will be able to train and improve their strength. But, none of these matters if you can’t even cross the floor and earn points.”
Gabriel hesitated for a moment and asked “Is it really hard to cross floors?”
“Of course, it is hard.” At this moment, it wasn’t Brian but rather Lena who replied.
“There are more than trillions of planets that inhabitants different races. Although there are not a lot of different races, there are still millions of them and each race has multiple planets under them. Some even have galaxies.”
“But, only one person can be chosen from one planet. There will still be billions of those who get chosen but even so, only a few races have reached the pinnacle of strength. Do you know why?”
“Because not everyone can complete the floor and earn points. Strength, Strategy, Willpower, and most importantly Luck is required inside Chaos Online. Believe me, if your luck is low, no matter how good you might be, you won’t even cross the first floor.”
“This is why he is chosen as the representative from the earth by the Great Prophet.”
When she pointed at Brian, Gabriel asked “Is his luck really strong?”
(O)ᴠʟ Lena didn’t speak. She sighed “There are many things that I can’t tell you nor do I know a lot to tell you in the first place. It is just that your destiny is too strong and the stronger one’s destiny is, the more luck they usually have.”
“And since even the Great Prophet chose you, then I think you really have a lot of luck.”
Brian shook his head and said “I am not sure if my luck is great or not but I am sure to enter the Chaos Online. That’s why I am trying to get stronger in the first place.”
“Once I reach Omega rank, I will be able to participate in the Chaos Online.”
“But, it’s going to take a long time.” Lena sighed
“Not that long!” Brian smirked as it turned a bit evil when he thought more about it.
After that, they continued talking for a long time until Gabriel and Adam finally left. Brian suggested Gabriel let his driver drop Adam at his house whenever Adam wants.
After all, his friends are here.
After they left, Lena sat in front of him and asked “How are you planning to get stronger now that your account is deleted?”
Brian shook his head and said, “It’s not something I can tell you right now but believe me, it’s definitely something that nobody in this universe has done before… at least, I believe nobody has tried doing this.”
“Anyway, Charlotte, I have something to talk to you about.”
Saying so, he took her hand and went to his room. Lena stomped her foot in frustration but didn’t do anything. She went to the kitchen and started making dinners.
From the internet, she learned a technique to get your partner’s heart is by ruling his stomach. She was quite good at cooking even in her home but now, she strives for becoming an even greater chief.
While she was cooking, Brian took Charlotte to his room and sat on the bed.
“Do you think she had sex with me just so that she could mix with my destiny?”
Charlotte hesitated to answer but eventually, she shook her head and said “I am not sure if she really did that just because she wanted to bear your child. Just think about it, if she really just wanted a child, why would she care about you?”
“Care? What are you talking about? When did you see her caring about me?” Brian asked but when he did, Charlotte didn’t speak. She even turned around and tried to leave the room but Brian hurriedly caught her.
“Tell me how did you know this. What are you trying to hide from me?” Brian asked.
But, Charlotte didn’t reply. Brian didn’t give up either. He took a deep breath and said “Tell me the truth. I promise I won’t get mad at you.”
After a while, she suddenly punched Brian in his chest and pressed her head on him, sobbing.
“She loves you. She really does love you. And, I am scared of that. I am scared that I will slowly fade away in the silence if I tell you this.”
“Sob! Sob! I’m afraid of losing you, Brian. I am afraid of getting replaced by her because she truly loves you.”
