Chapter 323.1
“Ah, a novel you say,” Alber chuckled as she reminisced about that day. Jin’s demeanor had been so serious, leaving her unable to react, but the reality of it all was simply preposterous. How fascinating it was that Jin believed this to be her own creation!
In the ancient clan, the gift of seeing the future was a mysterious art, divided into various classifications. The most extraordinary of these abilities was known as the ‘power of intuition.’ Those fortunate enough to possess this gift could peer into the future through dreams or sudden visions that graced their minds. Revered as prophets, they could foretell the impending future with remarkable accuracy.
Throughout the history of the ancient clan, only two individuals had been truly recognized as prophets, making them a rare and revered breed. However, the visions of these prophets were often enigmatic and filled with symbolism. It was only in retrospect, after the events had unfolded, that the true meanings of their visions became clear.
Then there were those like Alber, blessed with the ability of ‘amplification.’ Through their special connection with spells, they too could glimpse into the future. Although their visions were clearer than the prophets’, they were not predestined outcomes.
Instead, Alber’s gift allowed them to perceive potential paths that lay ahead. It was as if among the countless infinite futures, Alber’s visions could only capture a mere fraction of the possibilities. And within this limited scope, there was no certainty as to which of these visions would come to fruition or if they might all be defied by the hands of fate.
Jin possessed a remarkable ability—she had the power to read. Among the members of the ancient clan who possessed the gift of foresight, those blessed with exceptional intuition were a rarity.
Among the ninety-nine individuals with this gift, a mere nine possessed the power of amplification, while the rest held the power to read. Though the power to read on its own seemed inconsequential, when combined with someone who possessed the power of amplification, it sparked a potent synergy.
Whenever Alber invoked the spell to glimpse into the future, a myriad of fragments, each representing a different potential future, scattered in every direction. Among these fragments, one held the power of reading.
The future seen through the lens of this ability was far more precise and lucid. Even if it depicted a future that would never come to pass, it held a wealth of knowledge that could be gleaned through careful examination. It was no wonder that the power to read was held in such high regard in ancient times.
