“Yumi, I tell you, most of these chosen ones are useless. They are so easy to steal from even in the bustling market and they carry around so much money despite being so weak. I got so much money again from these fools.” said a girl to another girl who looked exactly like her. She laughed at the incompetence of the chosen ones and showed off her loot to the other girl.

Both of them were dressed in black from head to toe. The only difference between them was that the first girl carried daggers and the second girl, Yumi, had a bow and a quiver of arrows.

“Ayame, you didn't encounter any difficulties, right?” asked Yumi. She looked happy watching her younger twin sister showing off the copper coins she pickpocketed from the chosen ones. But she was still worried as there was a reason, those chosen ones were called like that.

Even after dying, they could come back to life in a day or two as good as before. To date, no one has discovered the limit of their resurrection. Hence, unless there were no other options available, no one wanted to make enemies with someone essentially immortal. Even those strong Extraordinary wouldn't easily make enemies with them.

“Yumi, you are worrying too much. With you here, nothing will happen to either of us.” Yumi dismissed her sister's worries.

She had absolute confidence in her sister. The two sisters were orphans, they had no idea who their parents were. They had only each other to survive the streets.

They might end up dead or in some pervert’s basement if not for her sister's ability.

Yumi would occasionally get visions about the future. Those visions helped the sisters survive the harsh world. They had survived many dangers by relying on her visions.

“Fine, as you say.” relented Yumi, then asked, “What do you want to do about that pervert Peter?”

Peter, the local gangster boss. All the criminals in the local area needed to turn in a cut to him. They never did that and were proficient enough to either run away or beat all the goons sent by him.

They didn't kill, as they wanted to be as low I radar as possible. They knew their beauty so they always covered themselves completely in black including their face.

After facing multiple failures, Peter came directly with his top goons. At first, they were ready to fight and kill them, but then they needed to run and look for a new base as killing the local gangster boss would bring them into the limelight.

But fortunately or unfortunately their worries were baseless. When he saw them, he stopped the fight and gave them the offer to join his gang and even promised them that he would make them his top generals.

That was not the first time that happened to them. They were all too familiar with the lecherous expression he was showing. They knew as long as they joined his gang, they would be forced to warm his bed.

This was not the first time that it happened, it happened many times before too, they either killed everyone or ran away if the enemy was too strong.

“What to do, just kill him and his dogs and then find another place to start over?” Ayame directly dismissed the gangster boss.

He was not worth their time. Together they had defeated stronger enemies before and Peter was not the strongest.

“Then when do you want to start?” Yumi agreed with her sister’s thought process.

Ayame showed a mischievous smile and said “Let's find a few more fools to rob, then we can start tomorrow.”

Yumi just sighed and shook her head, she had long given up on her foolish sister.

Ayame showed a fake hurt expression, “Hey don't be like that”, then continued seriously, “You know we need to collect enough money for potions for both of us, we will see a bigger world together and for that, we need to work harder.”

Yumi also showed a serious expression after hearing that. Then she smiled towards her sister and said, “Come, let's go and find another fool.”

“Yay, thank you, Yumi.” Ayame laughed happily and hugged her sister tightly.

The sisters came out of their hiding spot inside an alley. They were on the rooftop of a building. They were about to leave for the town square to find their next target but halted as they saw a guy leisurely walking inside the alley.

“Hey Yumi, see him. What a fool. He must be a newly chosen one to walk in an alley like that. Let's start with him.” Ayame called Yumi while laughing at the foolishness of the chosen one.

“Yumi, Yumi, why are you not repl…” Ayame stopped mid-way when she saw Yumi standing in a trance while watching the guy walking below.

She stopped talking right away, she knew Yumi had triggered a vision. She got serious, Yumi, mostly triggered vision when they were in grave danger to suggest ways to leave or sometimes gave them small profit.

They didn't offend anyone; they couldn't afford to do so only because her visions triggered to warn her of the potential dangers of going after a certain target.

Meanwhile, when Yumi laid her eyes on the guy, her mind immediately blanked and she found her mind in a weird dark place.

Normally when she got a vision, it would play in her mind like a movie. But it was different that time. She could interact with it at that time.

She didn't find anything in her immediate vicinity. She saw strange lights coming from one side so she moved towards it.

After walking for an unknown period, she saw a huge throne with someone sitting on it. She could only tell that the figure was male but his facial features were covered by fog.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

She felt as if she had seen him somewhere. Then she found there were many different figures surrounding him. She was sure they were not there before and appeared suddenly.

Unlike him the rest were standing around him, sitting between them like a king.

She had a feeling that all of them were women. Like the man, they were covered by fog too, but they vaguely showed different phenomena around them.

Strange fire and water surrounded one figure. When she saw the water, she got the feeling that if she looked too long, she would forget her existence. When she looked at the fire, she started thinking about all the good and bad deeds she did. She quickly looked away from her.

Another figure was covered in the galaxy, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving around her. She found herself too small in front of such a celestial phenomenon and looked away again.

She gave up on looking at those figures directly. But she once again noticed something. She found she could vaguely see the faces of two women.

She was shocked to find that they looked like her and her sister. Both women were covered in boundless darkness as if they were the darkness.

She and her sister were identical twins but she had no problems distinguishing them. So she easily found who was who among the two twins in front of her.

She focused on the women who looked like her. Other than the darkness, she had a strange hourglass behind her. It was strange because the hourglass had no bottom and the sand was falling continuously into the void as if representing the passing time.

The woman slowly turned towards her. She could tell that her look-a-like saw her. But her focus was on the strange blindfold covering the woman's eyes. She wondered why she was wearing a blindfold and if she was so strong why couldn't she cure her eyes.

The woman, as if she knew what was going on in Yumi's head, just smiled. Yumi found herself unable to look away, she found she was slowly losing herself to the darkness surrounding the woman and was slowly falling with the sands in the hourglass.

“Y..u…mi…”

“Yu…mi… can…”

“Yumi can you…”

She felt she heard her sister's voice, but she was not thinking straight enough to give it much thought.

The woman seeing the state Yumi was in, smiled again and said to Yumi, “It's time to leave, little one”.

Yumi heard it and her mind again blanked and she suddenly disappeared from the place.

—------------

“Yumi, can you hear me?”

“Yumi, please don't do this to me, please wake up?”

“Yumi, please wake up.”

Ayame waited for her sister's vision to complete, normally it was not even a minute long but that time it was over fifteen minutes.

Ayame started worrying about her sister. After the twenty-minute mark, she saw blood coming out of her sister's eyes. She panicked seeing that. Her sister was her only family; she couldn't afford to lose her.

After calling her for over a minute, she finally opened her eyes. Ayame thought that Yumi’s eyes looked dull.

On the other hand, Yumi also sensed her changes. She had lost her eyesight but she felt happy. She felt free for the first time. She could see her sister, and everything else. But it was better than before she had her eyes.

She remembered the blindfolded woman who looked like her, smiled, and went inside, she took a cloth and tied it around her eyes. The cloth became red from the blood.

“Yumi, what are you doing, what happened to your eyes, why did you wear a blindfold, what have you seen in the vision?”

Ayame was having a panic attack watching Yumi's strange behaviour and started crying.

Yumi gently hugged her and that calmed her down somewhat. She said, “I lost my eyes”. She felt Ayame stir strongly, wanting to say something, but was not given the chance, “I don't regret it, I can still see and that is much better than before.”

After she felt that Ayame calmed down, she gently let her go. Ayame just watched her sister with red eyes.

She remembered that the reason for her sister's current condition was the vision that she got after watching that guy.

“Did it happen because of him?” asked Ayame.

Yumi knew whom she was referring to and gave a cryptic answer, “Yes and no”.

Ayame looked like she wanted to ask more, but gave up looking at her sister. She knew she would not get any more information.

She changed the question, “What to do about him?”

When Yumi heard that question she showed a smile that looked even a bit crazy. Instead of answering her question, she said, “I found the lord for us to serve.”

Ayame knew she was referring to the guy before. But what she didn't get was until before the vision, both of them were vehemently opposed to the idea of serving someone but now her sister suggested to her that they do that.

But she had absolute faith in her sister, so she didn't oppose her directly, but just asked, “Why?”

“Because that's the best for us. Following him, we would reach the heights we never imagined before,” explained Yumi.

“Do you understand the meaning of us serving him together?” Ayame asked another obvious question.

Yumi agreed, “Yes I know”, then continued with a slightly crazed expression, “We will serve to fulfil all his needs and wants, including opening our legs for him, whenever he desires.”

Listening to her, Ayame was sure that she had made up her mind. And knew enough tactics to help her make up her mind too.

Moreover, Yumi's visions always helped them by showing the best way forward. And she couldn't let her go alone.

So she relented in the end, “Fine if you think it's the best for us, I will listen to you. But I still need to see him first. And we will do it in my style.” She went outside to find the stranger.

Yumi didn't refuse and followed after her, with a gentle smile. But her smile was hiding her craziness deep within.

If Yumi had a status panel like players, she would find that her SAN was barely above 0 at 0.00000….001.

The twins quickly found the guy enjoying a leisurely walk inside the alley where he might lose his life anytime.

Ayame saw his pouch, and from its size, she confirmed he was a newbie and should have 5 copper coins in it.

She went into stealth, her sister following behind. She moved towards the guy and tried to snatch his pouch but he stopped her, she quickly retracted her hand and backed off, after creating a safe distance, she just stood and watched him.

Yumi followed after that but the guy stopped her too, and she too joined her sister.

Ayame was watching the guy carefully. He had good reflexes to stop her but couldn't see anything in him that made Yumi want to follow him so crazily.

Likewise, the guy was also watching them.

“I don't have much to steal. I only have 5 copper coins in my pouch, if you want I will give it to you. How about you let me go then?” the guy said, clearly feeling uncomfortable and looking for ways to leave.

They just continued watching him, she was scrutinizing him to find what caused her sister to behave crazily and her sister was just watching him, with a hint of fanaticism.

When the guy was about to unsheathe his sword, Yumi turned to Ayame, who knew what her sister wanted. She was not satisfied with her sister's decision but she gave up and accepted it. She would follow her sister's decision no matter how crazy it might seem.

Yumi was happy to see her sister finally relented and smiled warmly. Then both sisters knelt on the ground and said in unison, “My lord, please let us serve you. We will be your eternal loyal servants.”
