[Samsara's Curse] – the curse of Samsara can be placed on the true soul of a person.
- the cursed soul will be damned to never experience peace and live a life of unbridled torment.
- the curse can be placed on a soul for multiple incarnations, the price will increase exponentially for every incarnation cursed.
- 1 life = 10 ^1 fate particles
- 2 lives = 10^2 fate particles
- 3 lives = 10^3 fate particles
[Samsara's Blessing] – a blessing place upon a true soul that will grant fortune to the soul after reincarnation.
- the blessings intensity is dependent on the number of fate particles used.
- the more fate particles used the higher chance of the soul awakening their past life memories.
Lirian watched as his dream played out once more, he was oddly aware of his dream this time, he remembered those moments so clearly.
He had a decision to make, keep pushing to find out if he had the ability to bring the dead back to life, or use the remaining fate particles he possessed to grant Edith a blessing.
The lightning still flashed in skies of the world, and the great apparition of the serpent hung high above the sky like an onlooker, releasing its divine pressure.
They continued to exchange words, until Edith's consciousness started to fade, it was then that Lirian made his decision and started to place his blessing on her soul, that way no matter what world she was born to, she would live the life she deserved to have.
It was then that she whispered her final words into his ear, "The other me, the one who was a god, she wanted me to tell you something,"
"Mercy is the way of tr…"
---
Lirian woke up suddenly to a loud screeching sound, as he panted and moved around in confusion.
Lirian quickly realised that his cage was moving, he was being pulled on some trolly or cart.
"What's going on where are you taking me?" Lirian asked the person pulling him.
"You sure do sleep like the dead," the person pulling the trolley commented, "The auction is starting, soon you'll be sold to the highest bidder," the man said in a dry tone.
"The auction is still going on, does this mean that they caught the elf?" Lirian asked in frustration, thinking that after all he had done the elf was still caught.
"Nope the elf is still missing and so is the girl, now shut up and stay quite until it's time for you to be sold," the man grunted in annoyance.
A while later Lirian was taken into another room, he could tell that it was very large and spacious, and just beyond the room was a stage.
He could hear the clatter of people moving around, and a little chatter like they were all waiting for something.
It was then that Lirian realised that the auction was about to begin, but time was moving by quickly and even after a half hour the auction did not begin.
The people in the audience were starting to get testy about the prolonged delay and shouts were echoing throughout the chamber.
Behind the scenes Lirian could feel the panic of the staff members and the other curators, they were rushing about looking for Julian who was supposed to be the auctioneer, but he was no where to be found.
Then the other curators started discussing who should go out instead, they were having a heated argument about who should go out, because no one wanted to be the one to tell the audience that they didn't have the star of the show.
In the end they chose a random girl whose only skill was that she was literate, she was completely clueless as they pushed her onto the stage with nothing but a pile of documents about the items that were listed.
The hall was dimly lit with luminous stones, just enough for the girl to be able to make out the people and see if they were raising their paddles.
While the entire stage was lit up by bright blue luminous orbs that made everything completely clear to the audience.
They watched as a cute blonde girl with neck length hair made her way across the stage with nervous footsteps.
"Greetings and w-w-w-welcome treasured patrons," the girl stammered nervously.
"I w-w-w-would like t-t-to apologise for the d-d-delay, the head curator is not feeling well,"
"I-I-I'll be serving as the auctioneer for today, if y-y-y-you don't mind," she stammered out nervously while doing a full 90-degree bow to the audience.
"I'd take a cute girl like you over a boring old man any day," a random person from the audience shouted and several people shouted in agreement.
"Can you just get the auction started!" someone shouted impatiently.
"Er, er thank you," the girl hurriedly said and walked to a stand where she could set her pile of papers down and she went straight into reading them.
"Our first item of the night is a necklace called the Sapphire Pearl, it is of a braided steel design with three inlaid ruby's and a diamond encrusting,"
"It was made by a famed jeweller from Proge, Henrich Col, and used to belong to the late Countess Meritine Sooel," as she read out the contents of the page, a trolley was pushed onto stage and a beautiful necklace, that was made from black steel was revealed to the crowd.
And on it were three sapphire blue ruby's, the largest ruby sat in the centre while the smaller ones sat symmetrically on either side.
The girl panicked a little as she scoured the page for the value of the item, after locating it on the other side of the page she discovered that it was to be auctioned at a starting value of 5 gold with, it's maximum potential being 12 gold.
The girls eyes widened at the figure, in all he life she hadn't seen so much money combined, yet this one item was worth more than she had in her entire life.
"The starting bid is 5 gold with increasing increments of 10 silver," she read from the page.
"5 gold," she called out and almost instantly she saw people raising their paddles.
She gapped in disbelief that they were willing to pay so much for something that had absolutely no use.
"Hurry up and raise the price," someone shouted from the audience when the girl didn't speak for a while.
"S-s-sorry," she squeaked out and started to raise the price.
"5, 10," she called out and several peddles were raised into the air, most of the people bidding were noble woman and a few men were also bidding, they probably thought that it would be a good gift to their wives or daughters.
"5, 20," she called and the peddles kept raising.
The increments steadily rose up and by the time the value reached 9 gold 30 silvers only three peddles kept raising up.
"Sold for 10 gold 40 silver," she cried out eventually.
As time went on more and more items were sold as the girl read the info of the pages, there were all kinds of things from art pieces to sculptures and even a couple weapons.
The hours ticked by slowly and with every passing minute items were sold and some items were completely ignored, as the list on the brochure whittled the crowd grew excited, because they all knew what the last item of the auction was supposed to be, and the time was drawing close.
Everyone eagerly awaited the appearance of a pure blood male elf.
The region of Elmguard belonged to the elven race, and everyone knew of the elves outlandish beauty, every female elf was the epitome of beauty as the saying went.
For countless years people had only ever seen female elves, from their queen to their leaders to their soldiers, every last one was a female.
At first people believed that the men were so beautiful that they just blended in with the women of the race, but that belief was quickly disproven during the warring eras when countless elven warriors were killed yet not a single male corpse was found.
It was not after an invasion of one of their main cities that the truth about the elves were revealed.
The elves had a type of bloodline curse, that made it so that an elven male has to have 99 999 female children before they are capable of having a male child.
Because of this every male elf had an enormous harem with more woman then they could remember, the day a male elf is born great celebrations are thrown throughout the elven cities.
And those males are raised with their every need taken care of, while they were served foods that help make them fertile at earlier stages in their life.
From the day a male elf becomes a man, he spends his every waking hour impregnating woman after woman.
Due to how important the live of male elves were the elves prevent their males from having any contact with the outside world, and kept a tight leash on their movements, which is why a male elf appearing here was such a big deal.
If a noble with enough power were to possess a male elf, they would have a way to control the elves.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
