Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 987  Red Strings Soulmates in the Web of Relationships

ʼWho else is reincarnated along with me?ʼ Rudy asked curiously.

The girl offered a clear distinction, stating, ”Just you and your harem. The girls you truly love with your heart, not the girls you have had sex with.”

The kid expanded on this notion, adding, ”There are your other soulmates whom you didnʼt get the chance to meet in this reality.”

Rudyʼs thoughts swirled with these newfound revelations, and he sought clarity with the lingering question, ʼHow am I supposed to know if they are my soulmate?ʼ

The kidʼs response was practical and direct, ”I want to say you would see a red string attached to their bodies, but thatʼs comical. Your life is not a fairytale. If you want them, you have to find them. It wonʼt be easy, obviously. But there is one way to find out. When you cross paths with them and look at them, interact with them... you feel a certain type of attraction towards them. Like you want to hold them, hug them, kiss them, fuck them. Your emotions will be going wild, and you wonʼt know what to do. It will be a mixture of love and lust.”

The kid couldnʼt help but wear a knowing smile as he asked Rudy, ”Have you ever experienced that?”

Rudy was no stranger to these emotions, as he remembered his powerful attraction to Jane. At that time, he had wanted to make her his, regardless of what it took.

The girl interjected to provide further context, ”However, that wonʼt happen if you have a different kind of relationship with them after birth. For example, letʼs say, you were born as the biological brother of one of your soulmates, or one of them was born as your daughter, granddaughter, even.”

”Or as a niece,” the kid added, underlining the complexities of these soulmate relationships.

ʼ...ʼ Rudy fell silent for a moment.

The girl, observing Rudyʼs contemplation, decided to add an important detail. ”And remember, itʼs a two-way connection. Your soulmates will experience the same kind of intense attraction towards you. They will want to make you theirs, no matter what and how. Itʼs a bond that transcends mere physical attraction; itʼs a profound connection of souls, an unbreakable force that binds your destinies together.” Rudyʼs understanding of this deep, interwoven connection between himself and his soulmates grew even clearer, solidifying the importance of finding and embracing them across the different realities.

 ”You naturally wouldnʼt feel that kind of attraction towards them and wouldnʼt know if they are your soulmate,” the girl had stated.

Rudy pondered the implications, his thoughts lingering on the intricacies of these bonds. ʼWouldnʼt that mean they would marry or have a relationship with someone other than me then?ʼ he questioned.

The kid provided insight into this, ”Thatʼs where the soulmate part comes in. Your soulmates will never feel attracted to anyone other than you. Suppose, even if they were forced to marry someone, the person they married would die. They have divine protection.”

The girl added further, ”And your soulmates will also always be virgins. Meaning, your mother, grandmother, or any other women who are not virgins wonʼt be your soulmates. But remember, you can impregnate your soulmate and be reborn as their son. So that would make them your mothers.”

ʼThatʼs a... lot to take in,ʼ he admitted. ʼSo if we donʼt cross paths, doesnʼt that mean they might lead somewhat lonely lives, always waiting for something they might not even fully understand?ʼ

The girl responded, ”Itʼs true, they may live unique lives compared to others, but their longing for that unexplainable connection might serve as a guiding light throughout their existence.”

As Rudy delved deeper into the intricacies of his soulmates, a particular question arose about Nyxia.

ʼWhat about Nyxia? Is she my soulmate?ʼ

Her lineage, consisting of children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, appeared to challenge the idea of virginity and soulmate connections. Rudy was seeking clarity, desiring to understand Nyxiaʼs place in this complex puzzle.

The girl began to answer, ”Nyxia is an exception. She has been an exception ever since she was born. She has escaped death countless times.” It was a cryptic response, not directly addressing Rudyʼs question. The kid, seeing the need for clarity, intervened, ”Thatʼs not what he asked. He wants to know if Nyxia is his soulmate or not.”

The girl, now focused on answering Rudyʼs question directly, turned to him and stated, ”You have to be stupid to not realize it by now.”

”...” Rudy contemplated the implications, hesitating to voice his lingering question. The kid, ever perceptive, encouraged Rudy to think more deeply. ”Your concept of summarizing and hinting things is beyond anyoneʼs comprehension,” he chided the girl. ”You think you have said enough because you know everything, but others donʼt.”

In response to Rudyʼs unspoken question, the kid affirmed, ”Nyxia is your soulmate.”

Rudy hesitated to ask the next question, for it touched upon a sensitive topic. ʼBut she...ʼ His voice trailed off, leaving the rest of the sentence unspoken. He didnʼt want to know why someone else had kids with Nyxia when she was his soulmate.

The kid pointed his gaze at the girl, and urged Rudy to connect the dots. ”She gave you certain examples, remember? I gave one too. Why did you think she chose ʼsister, daughter, and granddaughterʼ? Think about it.”

Rudy began to piece it together. ʼOh… so you mean… they are my…ʼ

The kid confirmed his understanding. ”Yes.” ʼBut I donʼt have a sister or a niece.ʼ

”How do you know? You donʼt even know who your biological parents are,” the kid shrugged.

Rudy expressed his disappointment, reflecting on the timing of these revelations in the face of his current state. ʼWell, whatʼs the point of knowing all this now when I am already dead. I would have appreciated it if you had told me all this long before,ʼ he sighed, a tinge of regret in his voice.

ʼAnd I wonʼt even remember any of this after I reincarnate in the fourth reality,ʼ Rudy added.

”Thatʼs precisely why I am letting him tell you everything,” the girl asserted, her gaze moving back and forth on Rudy and the kid.
