Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

"Why? Is finding a spirit a mindset issue?" Matt asked, doubtful, and she nodded.

"Part of it is. The fact that you came here that one time means that every time you enter the Spirit World, you come to a place nearby, because it's the only place you know. For people who manage to enter the Spirit World from your world, the first time they enter they will arrive together with a spirit they are compatible with.

I originally thought you were an exception, but after learning that we are very compatible, I realized that was why."

"That first spirit they see tends to also be the first spirit for them, as rejecting a spirit is not an easy thing to do, and that spirit will know that the person in front of them is very compatible. So technically, I should be your first spirit since I was the first spirit you encountered; when that happens, we could use our energy to sense other spirits that are very compatible with you.

But I don't know if you want to wait that long."

Matt nodded toward her.

That was an important piece of information, but one that he didn't really care too much about.

Ever since he'd come into this world he'd been wondering about, what is destiny? And after so many nights trying to find an answer, he realized that fate would take him to certain places with which he was destined.

The fact that he had come into this world meant that it was his destiny. And the fact that he had seen this girl firsthand was also part of his destiny. But that doesn't mean that he should follow the path that destiny set for him.

Much less now that he knows that there are spirits and people capable of seeing destiny. If he were to follow the path set by destiny, he would become a puppet of it. Who knows if someone is controlling that destiny? What if there is a terrifying existence guiding him to his doom?

So, he will not follow that destiny as faithfully as a dog. And although he has no idea how to break the destiny, what he does know is that he is going to walk the path chosen by him.

If he must sign a contract with this girl, he will do so sooner or later, and no spirit will prevent such a thing from happening, but he does not need her to be his first spirit.

It is enough if she is the second or third. For now, he wants a spirit of the fifth type. Even if he has a hard time finding it, he will not give up on that.

Therefore, he stood up and smiled at her.

"What's your name, by the way?" He asked.

She looked at him doubtfully and smiled at him. "My name is Mei; sorry for taking so long to introduce myself, Matt."

Matt nodded at her. "Nice to meet you, Mei. You'll be my spirit sooner or later, so don't worry if you're first or second. But for now, I'll try to find a spirit to satisfy my curiosity regarding the fifth type," he said.

Though she was surprised, she nodded to him with a smile and stood up, hovering slightly in the air. "I'll help you then. Follow this river downhill. There are spirits everywhere around the River of Destiny, and occasionally, spirits come to drink water. If you're lucky, you might find some. And if not, by the time you see the Rock of Destiny, I guess I have to leave it to your fate."

After saying that, Matt said goodbye to her and did as she told him. Read exclusive content at m v l em pyr

'So she sees the river so much because it's part of her job, huh.'

He walked along this massive river while looking at countless spirits.

Somehow, he could tell what type of spirits they were.

Some were elemental spirits, specifically of water, and a few were life spirits. Occasionally, he would see some Beast spirits, but not too many.

'These spirits, although they have consciousness, cannot speak. They are like wild animals but with spiritual abilities. What an interesting world.'

Another thing that amazed him was the purity of the environment. It was even purer than the vampire world.

And there was not even a point of comparison with the Earth, for the Earth was polluted by so many things. Its air was no longer pure, while the air of this place felt alive.

After walking for a long while, Matt came to a huge rock. 'The Rock of Destiny.' He thought.

It was a massive rock from which the River of Destiny was born. But this was not the only one. On the other side of the rock was another river, just like it, guarded by another Spirit of Destiny.

After arriving here, he sighed, looked sideways, and chose a way to go.

Searching without a plan was not very wise, so he decided to search according to the strength of emotions. Maybe he could find something similar.

So, he walked a few more hours and entered a strange range of mountains and trees.

When he crossed it, he saw many spirits but nothing worth mentioning. Still, what greeted him on the other side was amazing.

'A natural Thermal Waterfall? It looks amazing, much better than the ones I've seen before.' Matt thought and walked towards it.

But suddenly, Matt felt a strange movement of something crossing his senses, lightly tapping him. It fluttered his clothes.

Matt frowned and looked sideways. 'Wind?' He thought.

For some reason, this wind felt strange. 'Maybe because of the heat of the environment.' He kept walking, but suddenly, he felt that strange 'wind' hitting him again, crossing his body back and forth.

He stopped and looked behind him. 'Nothing.' Then he looked to his sides, but there was nothing there.

There wasn't even an animal. Moreover, he didn't even see a wind spirit in this place.

'What is this?' He frowned as he thought about walking once more; the same wind hit him, but this time, he felt he heard a voice, which somehow seemed to be 'inaudible.'

It was inexplicable, for he could not have heard something inaudible, but there was no better way to describe it. It was like it existed, but at the same time it didn't.

That made him frown, but suddenly, his vision darkened as a strong 'wind' hit his body.
