Di Family part I

S City.

Everyone's extremely worried. If the Eldest Miss's disappearance can't be investigated using modern technology then, it means some other powers were involved.

'Who's behind this? What are they after? Have they found out the secret about the Eldest Miss?' This was the common thoughts running through the minds of everyone in the study room.

The Eldest Miss of the main branch of the Di Family has a secret that she wasn't even aware of! Or more specifically, she was born with it. In every generation of the Di Family there would be one child who will be born with a special physique and inherit abilities more powerful than the others albeit they would awaken later than the other members of the family. Without undergoing the Di's Bloodline Purification Ceremony no one, no matter how powerful they are can't detect nor sense who the child would be, except for one. They are naturally born by the direct descendants of the main branch.

No one knows why but it was most likely because the main branch's bloodline concentration were thicker and the essence within them were naturally born superior. One would think because they have such advantages they would be raised with the most focus and attention of the higher ups of the family. But it was the opposite for the Di's. It wasn't because they don't want to but because they couldn't.

As the saying goes… "for every blessings there's a curse". For the Di's, it was the literal meaning of those words. Everyone born with the special physique and powerful abilities were either awakened late at life or died young.

According to ancient records and testimonies those children who died at a young age were young masters or young miss's who have been nurtured and had received full attention of the clan. This curse is a powerful forbidden bloodline curse since the ancient era called Twin-tailed Serendipity. It was a curse that uses the life blood of the curser and eats their heart, soul and mind along with all their kin and those who shared even a drop of blood with them. In short, it was one of the most vicious and most evil curse that ever existed that would kill even the entire bloodline of the curser before it kills the cursed bloodline. It has no counter curse nor does it have a proper solution. The only reason why the Di Clan or the Di Family even exists and have survived 'till present age was because of their powerful ancestors and inherit abilities to manipulate time.

Time Manipulation abilities have variants like Time-Recapture, Time-Hold and Fold, Time Crasher, Time Travel and Time-Switcher.

Time-Recapture is an ability that can investigate anything within the time scope of the one with this ability, the more powerful the one with the ability is the larger their time scope can cover. Those people who possess this ability are in the investigative field.

Time-Hold and Fold is a dual ability that can hold time and shorter or lengthen the time of a person, a thing and even another being's movements and techniques durations. It is a powerful movement and defensive ability that also relies on the person with this ability's power like Time-Recapture.

Time Crasher is an oppressive ability that borrows power from the River of Time. It is an ability that can crash the time of others and eliminate the time of the weaker ones. Since it's a borrowed time this ability has a certain conditions to be met before one can use this ability. Every person who has this ability have their own prerequisites and have great risks of losing either their mind or their soul. Only by strengthening their own mind space and soul can they bare the burden.

Time Travel as its name sake, the one with this ability can travel through time either by borrowing time from the River of Time or using their powerful cultivation to activate this ability. When the one with this ability borrowed time from the River of Time they also have their own prerequisites to be met before activation just like Time Crasher. While those who prefer to use their powerful cultivation can also activate this ability, they have a more limited and smaller time scope. But it has its own advantage. The ones who uses their own power to activate their ability have smaller risk than those who borrowed from the River of Time, who faces great risks either to their mortal body or their soul. Or maybe worts, both losing their mortal body and their soul to the River of Time.

Time-Switcher is a tricky ability that can steal and switch time. It has the potential of all the Time Manipulation abilities and can grow to a state where one can even suppress and seal time itself. The ones who possess this ability were born with a special physique that accommodates and nurtures time within their bodies naturally. This physique is also called Time-Switcher like its ability. The person with Time-Switcher has the blessings from the River of Time. They are also known as the rare children of the River of Time.

There were once a tale prophecies by three great Oracles in the ancient era. Maybe because they died using their last breath to spoke of the tale prophecy. Or maybe because those three great Oracles were famous and very powerful, the tale prophecy became widely known all throughout the different Realm and worlds. It was about one of the rare children of the River of Time. He or she was called the Ruler of Time. During his or her youth he or she was like all the children of the River of Time. It was commonly known that those rare children of the River of Time grows naturally along with their power and control of time, and, as they grow older they're only going to get stronger until they can be one of the Gods of Time. But the Ruler of Time is an unsurpassable ruler and governor of time, even surpassing the different Gods of Time's abilities and potentials that were hailed as one of the most powerful in their era. And because it was widely known, many beings felt jealousy, envy, fear and greed in their heart. Some acted out upon their greed, some schemed while others stalks and awaits their time. Even some of those Gos of Time joined in. They can't resist the allure of the power of the prophecies ruler and coveted so much their heart bled and turned black.
