Hello, guys, I am Lyra Brown. I was a normal high school student but one day something happened that changed my life completely. I am going to tell my story about my past and present here and maybe you all can guess my future too... "What the fish?!"I exclaimed when I opened my eyes into a dark place but can see everything very clearly...I can see a bat sign in front of me but I am in a closed space. I tried to touch the bat sign and the closed space changed. The upper part opened. I tried to stand up but struggled and somehow seat down wherever I was.
I can see I am in a round elegant room decorated with red and black. It looks somehow ominous as a big bat sign same as before on the ceiling of that round room. The room is almost empty only one side of the room has a door, I tried to stand up again, and this time I can. Beside the door, there was a table that I didn't notice before. On the table, there is something I can see with my night vision but before that, my mind started to wonder what is happening to me... "Where I am? I was sure I was strolling in street with my earphone on. I really hate too much noise although I was listening to my favorite song, I know it can also count as noise but better than those noises...But as I was walking, I saw a pretty baby cat and went to just pet it as it was too cute but who knows as soon as I touch the cat, I saw a drizzling light. I think I know now that was a headlight of a bus or truck as I am not quite sure, I was busy petting the cat, I am sure no one would be as an idiot like me to pet a cat in the middle of a road but what to do I like pet too much but my mom won't allow keeping those angels. Whatever I think I am dead but what are these tiny hands, snow-white transparent skin umm lemme find a mirror btw the place I woke up was a coffin, have I said it before? Maybe no but as I touch the coffin, it opened on its own and I saw a luxurious room, who the hell would be on the right mind to sleep in a coffin while there is a bed?!"I was just muttering in a low voice. Well, I was sleeping in that coffin instead of a bed. I began to wonder who I am in this new world and why I am here. Maybe like other transmigration novels, I am also transmigrated into a new world as I was a pretty good person in my previous life. It is not like I have any regret, it is just everything was too fast and I could not say bye to my adoptive mother. Would she cry when she would know I am gone? I hope she would be all good and happy. I wish she would get a pretty girl again who would be filial to her and take good care of her when she would be old. It would be much better if she can find a good man who will love her dearly. Then they would have their own biological child. I wish a lot of things for her but I won't be able to go back to her anymore as I have a feeling that I belong to this world. I was misplaced from the beginning that's why I never felt at home on earth. I didn't have any friends and as a family only I had an adoptive mom so my world revolved around her. She was a good mom. Now I should move on. I started to explore the room. The room is very big and cozy. There are a lot of antiques here and there. If I can take these antiques on the earth, I would be a billionaire. I can live without doing anything. I can be a perfect salted fish then. Like previous life, I wouldn't have to work multiple part-time jobs. I can do whatever I want to do with that money. Only eating and sleeping and roaming the whole world. It would be fun but as now I am here, I should not daydream anymore rather I should find more about myself and I should do my part here. Whatever life would give me, I will take everything and use it in my favor. The room has only a big door but no window. I can see I have long black hair and little hands. I shouldn't be more than 10 years old as my hands are quite tiny. I have to find out a mirror to see how I look. Oops, when I was searching for a mirror, I saw there is a red liquid in an ancient bottle engraved with a lot of characters that I seem to know but now I know that I don't know as I don't want to use my brain power as I am too hungry. As soon as, I saw the bottle, I thought to open it and when I opened it I saw red juice and when I caught the scent of it my fangs started growing and I felt an irresistible thirst to drink it and so I started to drink the unknown liquid with great satisfaction. After drinking the liquid, I felt my body became more powerful and I can hear and perceive at least a 1-kilometer radius from where I am standing. Wow, the liquid is so cool. By the way, this bottle was on that table near the door. But I can't find any mirror in the room. So, I pushed open the door and it opened instantly and what I saw made me astonished.
Lyra's POV, When I open the door, I saw two ethereal beings with exact black hair like mine, you can ask how I know when I don't have a mirror, well, because my hair is quite long it touched my ankle, it's so shiny and glossy that I wanna pet my hair again and again. So where were we? Oh, I remember two ethereal being one man and one woman who were with red eyes staring at me intently like me. Those eyes are like ruby, I like them. "Hello, little one." the woman said with a longing tone. "Hello, Granny!"I replied in a sarcastic tone although it sounded cuter. "You are really her daughter; she never disappointed me with wordplay. You seem inherited this quality of hers but little one how was your trip to another world?"That pretty granny said mischievously. "Well, what are you saying about? Can you please tell me everything elaborately?"I asked cautiously. "No, little child, we cannot tell you anything about that, but now it is time to introduce ourselves. I am your aunt and he is your father, you can call me aunty Echo and obviously you will call your dad the daddy or father what makes you comfortable."Aunty Echo replied with amusement. "Hello, dad. Hello, aunty Echo. I already have a name so don't call me little one always. I am Lyra. I didn't have a surname as I was left outside an orphanage. But like crossing over to a new world and meet beauties ahem pretty people like you seems like a dream..."I said with nostalgia. My dad who seems mute opened his mouth for the first time and called my name. I didn't know my name is so sweet before I hear it in his voice. "Lyra...your name would be from now on Lyra Aurelia Da Vamp, the only daughter of the king of vampire Lennix Arnold Da Vamp..."My father said without any emotions. You say Lyra Aurelia Da Vamp!!! This name seems the same as a book I read while I was doing a part-time job in the school library...maybe I am thinking too much okay let's adapt to this life first as there was nothing to look back to that black-white life anyway. There was only struggle and pain in that life without only one person that is my adoptive mom who tried her best to raise me but I pass away even before I can repay her... While I was engrossed in my thought, I felt a sudden change in space and I am in another room with mirrors which I searched intently for a long... "Why there are so many mirrors here although there was no mirror in my room aunty Echo? Also, where is dad? Why here is only you and me?"I questioned nonstop. "Lyra Aurelia Da Vamp, listen carefully among these mirrors one is your life mirror that you need to find it would assist you and it can also kill you. Our life mirror is a vampire's most precious treasure. Every Vampire would have their own life mirror and this mirror house was created by our ancestor Desmond Joseph Da Vamp. It was the god of darkness that gave us massive power and also a massive weakness. We are cursed to live in dark by great gods and goddesses, still, only the God of darkness pitied us and gives us an opportunity to redeem ourselves from that massive sin that our ancestors had committed. Go chose your life mirror as your life mirror defines what you will be and how much power you would have. I will say no more but remember these mirrors are alive too they chose their masters if you are not compatible but you force any of them you will be burned to death, just follow your heart you may find your best mirror companion."Aunty Echo said very seriously as if my life depends on it. I felt fluctuation again and now I am in a room full of mirrors but different from before they look like they are alive not a decoration, none of the mirrors shows my reflection so I started to look around every mirror. One of the mirrors even talked with me... "Child, we cannot accept you have to find her, Don't waste time, your time is limited!"A kind-looking round mirror decorated with blue jewels said cheerfully. But don't ask me how I know the mirror is kind, I just knew it, yup my heart says the mirror is kind... Then another grumpy mirror talked with malice, "You can never find her even you find her you would be BURNED TO DEATH, she has such a temper aha, she chose no one in thousands of years, but as I am good I will fulfill your wish to die and give you a clue, you want it Lil kiddo?" "Humph, you noisy mirror who wants your help?! I will find her my own but thanks kind grandpa mirror for your warning."I said boldly. I started looking for more but it seems I started to feel weaker maybe that grandpa kind mirror talked about this, I started to feel restless but I felt a familiar aurora, so I started to concentrate and begin to see a hand mirror in hexagonal shape, each side inlaid with 6 multicolored gems... The mirror kept calling me and my feet started moving on my own like a puppet... I started to feel like I will die soon as my body started to burn with fire with each step I was taking. Still, I endured everything and moved toward the source from where I was feeling the summon. I started to feel like someone is waiting for me long and I should go to her and erase her loneliness. The closer I get the more I want to meet that mirror soul. But my pain level increased too much than I can bear still I tried to bear that unbearable pain only to see her.
As I started moving towards the source, my head turned fuzzy. I seem to see parts of memory that don't belong to me...
A lady with long black hair like mine, with 2 women, and the other 3 men trying to fight some strange beasts that I have never seen. They are protecting each other's backs and growing stronger together...
The scene changed to the black-haired woman drinking wine and having a party with her friends...
Then again, a golden-haired woman appeared out of nowhere and accused the black-haired woman killed her friends, and she threw a mirror toward the woman...
These aren't my memory... I gotta wake up before this memory consumes me fully... I started to try my best to find an exit... and saw a black-haired woman smiling at me... the illusion broke and I saw that exact black-haired woman with ruby eyes like my dad and aunt looking at me mischievously.
"Hey, it's your memory why you are showing this to me?" I asked.
"You are me, I am you, and we are the same being now... My specialty is predicting the future what you are seeing now is your future... but it would depend on your choice, but what are you seeing is the most probable one... that is why everyone wants me but I only want you..."The mirror said in a hazy voice.
"But why you want me? What will you get from me? I know nothing is free in this world, well, in no world..."I asked the mirror cautiously.
"Well, kiddo, not bad, your soul is much more mature than your body... You must have experience in another world... yeah, nothing is free you gotta find my missing gem that was in the center of the handle of the mirror only then you can fully use my power and you will know the reason for your existence. Now, brat, you just have to cut a bit of your hand and put 6 drops of blood on the six shiny gems, you will know more later about everything slowly on your own..." the mirror said slyly.
Humph, I won't sign a contract with you. My intuition says you are dangerous, you know so much even before our contract, then you will know everything after our contact... It is kinda spooky..."I replied with an uninterested voice.
"Well, I am the best mirror here, you know once I was a queen... Oops, it's not your time to know yet... even if you don't choose me, other mirrors won't choose you too, you will die here... and if you die here, we have to wait thousands more years... brat it is not up to you anymore..."A flying mirror said decisively.
Then my surroundings become chaotic and a black hexagonal mirror starts to shine brightly. It flew towards me. I tried to dodge, but that damn mirror generated 6 anchors like needles from nowhere, and prick me in my hand...
It started to take away my blood greedily, and I winced in pain. It seems after thousands of years my pain is gone.
Within this moment I saw a baby's soul was sent to another world through some rune... the baby grows up slowly but surely not in a sunny environment... a pretty girl group bullied me for her mismatched eyes, slandering her of thrift, and so on... But the girl still was positive about life. Her only friend became book... also she feed stray cats and dogs whenever she got the opportunity, although her life was hard... she becomes a high school student... same pretty girl became campus belle also bullying doesn't stop... everyone said she is a jinx so she was avoided... only cats and dogs were not afraid of her, so without books, she got other friends... One day, while doing a daily reading session in the library, she found a book called "My Otherworldly lover" which was like a fairy tale...
The story was about a girl who died suddenly but transmigrated with a system to save the world of Archion. On the way to save the world, she made friends, had adventures also found love... yeah the novel heroine is the good girl, Flora, whose smile was like a fully blooming flower that could captivate anyone's mind.
But I don't know if it is a coincidence or not the final boss had the same name as me, Lyra Aurelia Da Vamp, Her heart got corrupted by darkness as she was jealous of Lily, who got everyone's attention without doing anything while she got shadowed. She made a deal with the devil king to get the man she loved, but that man died to protect her loved rival and she got sealed in a mirror...
The vision ends here and when I woke up, I saw I am in a big room decorated with black and red, also I am lying on a canopy bed... I tried to sit and while doing so, I saw I got a brand new tattoo on my right wrist that wasn't before. The tattoo is so pretty. It is like that hexagonal mirror in which 6multicolored gem is inlaid in six corners of the mirror. Also, it has a handle that is wrapped by the thorn of the rose vine. On the top of the rose vine there is a rose, and on top of that rose the mirror lays... when I touch it materializes instantly. It is a bit rusty black hexagonal mirror only 6 multi-color gems are shining dimly, and the handle is the same as a tattoo, but in the middle of the rose is empty, it seems there was something... it is such a pretty hand mirror, but pity it is not it's the best state now... I started to daydream about how pretty this mirror would be if it were in its best state... but then I heard a voice, when I look around there was no one except me. Still, when I look at the mirror, I become astonished... the mirror is talking, being sure I asked the mirror if it was the one making a sound...
"You! Lilbrat, you know nothing about great me... I can not only talk but also I can see the future. We are now connected through our souls, now you are me, I am you. To a Vampire, a mirror is forbidden except their life, mirror, you can only see your real reflection through me, other mirrors are nothing to vampires as they are cursed to be a being between living and dead... Vampires are called creatures of darkness, but they are the only ones that can fight the devil king head-on as others are affected by devil aurora... but if a vampire's heart is corrupted, they become more powerful devil spawn... So Lyra if you don't want to be like your dream, NEVER FALL IN LOVE."The mirror replied very seriously as our life depends on it.
"Ahem, I just woke up; I don't know much about me and the world around me except aunty Eco and my dad, So I am a vampire? Then the thing I drank earlier was blood? But why did no one tell me about this important thing? Why that dad of mine was gone after giving me a name? You know so much the greatest mirror in the world, then answer me..." I asked that grumpy mirror.
"Well, I am not that great I am just another part of your soul that has psychic power and your real body contains magic power... And the thing you drank was the holy blood of angel that's very rare... the father of your is very good to you... without the holy blood, you may turn into a mindless devil spawn as you are not of pure bloodline... Vampires are good at dark magic by birth but if they are pure breed, they may have more elements of magic power within them, but it is a pity for you!", The mirror replied. But it seems something is fishy here.
So from this grumpy mirror, I know I am not a pure vampire. Either my father or mother of mine is from another race. I guess my mother of mine is from another race. but where is she, why didn't come to see me when my aunt and dad came... there are so many questions that can be only answered when my dad or aunty will come... but I woke up for a long time why there is no one coming for me? Should I explore outside on my own, but before that I wanna see myself in the mirror...
"Hey, My dear great mirror, you said I can only see me only in you, but you are so tiny how I can see my full body with you. Why I am so unlucky aha... there were so many pretty mirrors there but you, the ugly mirror forced me to sign with you, humph."I said it with disdain.
The mirror started to shake nonstop, as if it was too angry... and flew to another side of the room...
So I had to leave my comfy bed, as I wanted to see the real me...
"Hey, I won't say you are ugly anymore. Please let me see my face, at least... my dad and my aunt are so pretty so I should be pretty too, right" I asked the grumpy mirror, hopefully.
Then the grumpy mirror flew to another corner of the room, so I had to play tag with it... but as I started running, my body felt so light like a feather, and I covered the whole big room within a second. But I started to feel tired after our nth play tag session, so I started to think something with my brain about how to keep in check this unruly mirror and an evil grin appeared on my face.
"Hey, my dear great mirror, you have a name asked the mirror gleefully.
"NOPE, I don't need a name, only my master can name me.", the mirror replied angrily.
"As you bound yourself to me and said you are part of me, I am your master, so I name you Bao, the great mirror, "I said in a cheerful voice.
As I said this, the mirror started to glow and I started to feel a burning pain in the tattoo on my wrist. After some time, the rusty mirror, I mean my Bao, turned into a pretty silver mirror, although the gems are still shining dimly. Also, I seem to know my mirror has a gem missing that should be at the core of the rose on the handle of the mirror. But how I felt like that, I don't know... Anyway, there is a lot of mystery to solve one more won't make any more difference... But the problem is, after the naming incident my mirror go back inside my tattoo without saying anything, and as much as I tried to rub my tattoo, to no avail, my Bao didn't come outside for once... But my wrist turned red -__- Also, I am hungry too...
But after calling a few more times, a dazzling hexagonal mirror manifested in front of me, and the mirror started to increase its size but still hovering in the air, it feels like a giant hand mirror. I am fully astonished by what I can see in the mirror...
