"Destiny Advance" was more like an overloaded advance. Before discussing this ability, one first had to understand the relationship between "Destiny Advance" and Delona.
"Destiny Advance" had two parts: "acquisition" and "cost." They were two stages. Black-Dress Delona could complete the first stage, while Abyssal Delona controlled the second.
Once this was understood, "Destiny Advance" became easy to comprehend. First, it was a passive ability—but unlike the passive abilities people usually understood, it required someone to take the initiative to find Delona and ask her to use it. Only then could Delona activate it. This request was called a "Ritual."
After completing the "Ritual," the visitor would be deemed a seeker. Seekers could not make wishes of Delona. Instead, they would obtain in advance something they might or certainly would acquire later in life.
For example, if an ordinary person found Delona and completed the "request Ritual," temporarily becoming a seeker, and wanted one million Gulang—the ordinary workers of Dusk City earned 800 to 1,200 Gulang a month—there would be a prerequisite: that person had to be capable of earning one million Gulang over the course of his life. Only then could he complete the "acquisition" step.
"Destiny Advance" was not an omnipotent wish. Moreover, all fate-type ability users, regardless of strength, considered omnipotent wishes especially unreliable. This method of acquisition, which severely disrupted the balance of destiny, was bound to provoke enormous backlash.
The so-called "Destiny Advance" allowed a seeker to obtain in advance something he might acquire in his lifetime. Naturally, this premature acquisition came with a price.
Black-Dress Delona controlled the "acquisition" stage. Once the seeker obtained what he desired, Abyssal Delona would collect the price—and that price was the seeker's Fate Power.
All living beings possessed their own Fate Power. Some people suffered misfortune throughout their
