Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script
Chapter 74: End of Volume One: The Start of the True Journey

*************

'What did you just say? Silver, what's the meaning of this?!'

Eclipse didn't know if what he heard from Silver was nothing but a prank towards him because there are times that Silver would make some humorous yet cringe jokes just to make him comfortable sometimes.

Sometimes, Silver would do that if something bothered him or if the tasks was difficult to handle by himself and his system companion would try something that Silver learned from their world-hopping journey as the source of their entertainment when they got back at the Main House to chill themselves or wait for the next mission tasks.

'However, Silver is not the type to prank something that is related to me or would joke about related to my past life as Ezekiel but…. What if….'

What if…. The life he knew was nothing but another script that's rewritten because of me?

For the first time in his millennium years as a world-hopper, Eclipse became anxious as he didn't know how to handle such changes if that happened.

More than a minute had passed, and Silver hadn't said anything back to him when he asked about what he said before.

After he ponders everything, Eclipse shook off his head to calm his mind and never let his emotions spiral whatever he is thinking.

'Since it comes to this then, I have no choice but to accept whatever fate lies within me. I just hope this time, it won't be that bad though but….'

What would happen next then?

LOCATION: MAIN HOUSE SYSTEM – UNIVERSAL REALM

WORLD-HOPPING DEPARTMENT

After the catastrophic commotion happened within the Universal Realm of the Main House System because of the sudden red-light alert that cause anxiety and almost became out of control because of the residences panicked and didn't know how to handle such drastic situations that appears them.

However, all of that came into a halt when the sudden appearance of their Master, the Lord God Jules, who's rumored that he didn't leave his abode from the beginning of the time, descended from his high abode and took over the control immediately and ordered everyone about their own stations and departments to prepared themselves.

Now, the said Lord God was invited by Red, one of the Higher Councils and one of the Lord God's trusted aides.

The Lord God's sparkling azure-colored eyes that describes as a vast boundless of ocean looked into Red because the Lord God could tell that his trusted aide would ask something more about the last time they met.

It is true that the Lord God Jules never descended from his high abode to the lower ground of the Main House System and his only job is to be the observer or more likely, the protector of the Worldline Realms.

Every world-hoppers who took an assignment for their mission tasks was issued by none other than the Lord God itself and he never intervene to the works of the world-hoppers, unless if needed.

The Lord God couldn't remember for how many years had passed since then and sometimes, there are times that he could forgot some things or events but thanks to his other half, who keeps on reminding him about these things or a certain event, the Lord God would always keep it in check.

They say immortality is a blessing since no matter how millennia had passed but the Lord God's youthful appearance stays the same for as long as he remembered.

But for the Lord God, immortality is nothing but a curse for him.

There are certain memories that one by one would vanish as time goes by.

That's why for over the millennium years that comes by, he ordered one of his trusted aides to choose from the residences that would be his successor candidate for the position and would replace him but there are still tested that needs to be proven if those so-called candidates wanted to be on the list.

However, as he personally tested those candidates throughout as he observed them during their mission tasks, none of the candidates impressed him and think only of them as nothing but a mediocre.

But that all changes when the Lord God observed a certain worldline that catches his interest.

That's because… that person excludes something akin to familiarity that he felt from a long time ago that the Lord God couldn't remember it however, Jules was drawn to that person.

That person was none other than…. The minor villain of the [Mystique Enchantress] worldline, Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier.

At first, the Lord God just observed how his everyday life going, and he thought that this person was just following his designated script that was given to him but there is something that the Lord God noticed from Ezekiel's aura.

Most of the humans in the worldline he observed, all of them had something life strings that pulled into them to make their roles perfectly displayed.

However, in Ezekiel's situation, the Lord God doesn't see any life strings that attached to him and that makes him frown at that time.

That's why he pulled out the Origin Archive, an archive of knowledge that only he and his trusted aides could have an access on it, and he searched for the named Ezekiel from that archive.

As he searched for his profile through the Origin Archive, it confirmed that Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier's designated role is nothing but a passerby background character and not a minor villain character.

'How was that possible?'

There was no notification that happened to alert about the changes of that worldline but since he wasn't a type of person to intervene in this scenario, he just keep on observing him for the meantime.

The Lord God frowns at how the story changes because of Ezekiel's presence who should be just a passerby character, but he became the minor villain that changes a little some of the trajectory of that worldline.

When Ezekiel's life almost ended, that's only the time that the Lord God immediately dispatched a sentient system to be that person's guide to become one of the world-hoppers in the Main House System.

The Lord God Jules is the one who choose Ezekiel, now currently known as Eclipse, to be one of the successor candidates and even though there are other candidates on the list but for the Lord God, Eclipse is the perfect one for the position.

However, in order for that to happen, some tests needs to be done.

And one of them, is happening right now…

"My Lord, are you about this? I know you're the one who choose Eclipse to be your successor candidate even thought there was another one since only the two of them are left as your successor candidates."

The Lord God snapped from his thoughts when he heard what Red stated while the other served him some cup of tea that the Lord God usually enjoyed in his free time.

Jules took the cup and took a sip on it as he tried to reminisce about some of his past while waiting for his other half to come by here as well.

˹ ... "I believe that everything that happens in that worldline is now shifting its course." ….. ˼

The Lord God said with his telepathy to communicate with Red since the God's tongue is the most scared one and others couldn't withstand its power just by hearing it and the Lord God is just being considerate with the residence within the lower grounds in order for them not to be affected.

He even suppress his majestic aura so that they won't be pressured by his mere presence alone since even though the residence of the Main House System in the lower grounds are no longer humans anymore.

But within the Lord's eyes, as someone who is one of the Higher-rank Gods across the universe, the residences of the lower grounds are not yet gained any divinity that could withstand the Higher God's power.

Red, on the other hand, could tell from their last meeting about the changes within that worldline but sometimes he couldn't help but wanted to refute and reasoned out from his Master because there are times that he couldn't predict his thoughts.

˹ ….. "I know the reason as to why you let Eclipse reincarnated back into his original worldline but there are things that needs to be done and I know this could benefit for not just me but also you, Red…" …. ˼

The Lord God paused for a moment before he took another sip and placed the cup down as his sparkling azure-colored eyes looked directly into Red's shining golden-colored eyes with a smile and Red knew that his Master knows something…

No, that's not the right term because it seems like his Master, the Lord God himself, knows everything about the secret he's hiding for over the millennium years.

"Do you really think I won't be able to decipher Eclipse's true identity that you kept on hiding from me?"

LOCATION: SOMEWHERE IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF STELLARUS EMPIRE

A young teenage woman with her bright aquamarine-colored mid-length hair and radiant ginger-colored eyes as she looked up at the stars while resting into one of the inns of a certain village for a stop-over to rest and tomorrow she will resume to her journey towards her destination.

"Aren't you going to rest, LORRAINE?"

The teenage woman named Lorraine looked at her companion and roommate who spoke and she just smiled back at her and said; "Don't worry about me. You should rest first, and I'll be there in a minute or two."

"Well, if you say so then. Good night."

Lorraine just waved her hands at her companion who hopped into the bed and immediately fell asleep.

When she noticed that her companion went fast asleep, she giggled as she looked up at the stars once more and closed her eyes as she prayed.

'Don't worry. I'll protect you, this time. I won't let those b*stards harm you, my little brother. Big sister is here now!'
