Chapter 2: Being chosen

"Is it truly luck?"

"W-Who are you and W-What do you mean by saying that ?!"

Kaiser's voice, trembling with fear, uttered the words.

'Who is she? Is she here to capture me? I must run now!'

Immediately standing up, Kaiser gets ready to escape the situation, but a hand quickly grabs his shirt, preventing him from fleeing.

The woman then grabbed Kaiser's face and looked directly into his eyes

"Where do you think you are going, little apple?"

Now that he is directly looking at her face, Kaiser realizes how beautiful the mysterious woman is. She has pale skin, long raven black hair, long eyelashes, and blank black eyes. High, sculpted cheekbones give her face an elegant structure, framing her soft, almond-shaped eyes that shimmer with intelligence and depth. The woman is wearing a deep black blazer adorned with gold trim, paired with a crisp black shirt.

"You are staring too much, Are you in love with me now? I don't mind having a follower, but you are too young for this sister to date"

Despite the cold looks she has, she seems like a friendly and sociable person.

"Why aren't you saying anything, Are you really in love with me?"

The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"If you talk less, you may have a chance to get a boyfriend"

"What did you just say!? Are you implying that I talk too much? Wait, how did you know that I don't have a boyfriend !?" The woman replies with anger in her voice

"Forget it, I am not here to you about that kind of thing"

It seems like she has calmed down now.

"You disrespectful brat, do you know that you have an aspect?"

"An aspect? What is that thing?"

"So you have no clue huh?" The woman ponders for a while

"To put it in simple terms, An aspect is a unique ability that only those who are chosen by "Who above" have"

'What is she saying? I have a unique ability. And who is "Who above"?'

"How do you know if I have an aspect?"

"Because you have a Stigma on you right now. Don't you see the black line around your neck? A Stigma is a mark given by "Who above", acknowledges an individual's attainment of an aspect"

'That black line is a stigma?'

"Is it rare? It seems like a big deal"

"It is a one-in-a-million chance. There are only 81 persons chosen by "Who above" in the entire empire. Counting you, there will be 82 people"

"It is that rare !? And I am one of them? That means I am a very valuable person right? What is my ability, is it good?"

Kaiser is very thrilled. The idea of being sought after by everyone means he will have a full stomach every day.

Seeing the exciting Kaiser, the woman answered with a smile on her face

"Slow down right there little apple. Don't be so excited. I don't know what your ability is, only you can understand what you can do"

"And being a chosen one doesn't always mean happiness"

The woman's face fell into a sorrowful expression
