Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

***********

« ….. DING! You have acquired [??? Token] …. »

Eclipse; "…"

'Oh, perfect! Thank you for reminding me about that! It really helps a lot! Tsk!'

It might sound sarcastic, but the world-hopper couldn't think of anything other than being angry at his situation at the moment.

'I feel stress about this whole matter, and it feels like someone is pulling some pranks on me and I just hoped that it wasn't the Lord God Jules himself or his precious partner but knowing those two idiots, I could tell at this moment. Maybe, even Sir Red joined the party with those two.'

At the same time….

LOCATION: MAIN HOUSE SYSTEM – UNIVERSAL REALM

******UPPER FLOOR – LUMEVOID ABODE******

"ACHHOOO!"

Three figures sneeze at the same time as they all twitch their noses as if someone just scratch their noses or maybe, someone is cursing them behind their backs.

For a moment, Red suddenly felt chills down to his spine as he anxiously looked at the two divine beings who also felt something similar to him but managed to school down their own emotions as if it's nothing.

'I'll bet all of my monthly contributions that it's Eclipse's doing since that little brat is too smart for his own good but at the same time, oblivious to some matters outside of work.'

He sighed and just shook off his head to set aside those thoughts and then prayed for Eclipse's new journey that would change his whole life, not only as a world-hopper but as the *****.

Back at the System Subspace…

Eclipse just sighed as he shook off his head to set aside those thoughts and diverted his attention away from the interface as he gazed upon at the [token] that was given to him by Rheina Clandestine.

If the world-hopper had known that by accepting this [token] from her, he wouldn't be in this kind of complicated situation, isn't he?

'However, that was all in the past and I'm one to blame for my own predicament in this matter because of my lack of insight about this [token] from her.'

Although he felt betrayed because Rheina Clandestine didn't even bother to explain to him about the importance of this [token] that's now within his possession but at that time, the world-hopper didn't doubt her at all.

Even though at that time he is truly reluctant to accept this [token] from her but when the world-hopper's lilac-colored eyes met Rheina's mismatched rose-lavender colored eyes, Eclipse saw nothing but honesty and sincerity within those eyes of hers.

At that time, Eclipse find it uncanny when the woman reveals the true color of her eyes in front of him when she gave her the [token] and honestly speaking, the world-hopper was shocked at that moment because he didn't expect that Rheina Clandestine hid herself all along.

In the character description about Rheina Clandestine in [Mystique Enchantress], there was no indication about her true appearance nor even her cover up appearance and there is only one indication about her and that is…. she had a lotus symbol on her neck that would recognize her as the [Lotus Killer] of Arcanum De Fleur.

Now, as for this [token] in his possession, as he looked further to analyze this [token] properly since he didn't have the time to check about it and could only shoved into his pocket from that time after they left the borders of Stellarus Empire and took a large boat to travel across to another continent.

Minutes had passed, the world-hopper finally noticed something that he didn't see before from this [token].

Granted that the [token] had a three-pointed star with an eagle symbol at the center and this could be the symbol of the Grand Duke Zephyr household of Cliffton Empire.

'Isn't it too blasphemous to address me as; Your Imperial Highness by that second young master from the Marquis Sanders household? Also, how come I became one of the Zephyr's? Is it because of this [token] that I still don't know what it means?'

However, what caught his attention on the [token] is the… at the center of the eagle, on its right side, there is a symbol of lotus flower with eight petals that's imprinted on there and it can't be seen that easily if no one paid attention to it.

'A lotus flower with eight petals? Wait a minute, why was everything is related to lotus flowers anyway?'

The world-hopper thought about it as he frowns while thinking about what's so significant about the lotus flower symbol and its meaning.

In the [token], there is a lotus flower symbol with eight petals that's imprinted at the right side but it's too small if no one tried to pay attention to it.

Now that he suddenly remembered that Xylon Sanders asked for his permission to take a look at the [token] and now, it seems like he is looking for the lotus flower symbol on this [token].

But the question is… what's so important about this symbol?

From what he understood, Lotus flower had different meanings based on the number of petals. This knowledge came from different worldlines that he had entered and most of them are from neither the ancient world nor the cultivation worldline.

'Now, this lotus flower had eight petals on it…. the significant meaning of this flower is….'

The world-hopper paused from his thoughts as he realized something and then anxiously looked at the [token] within his hands and Eclipse didn't know whether to laugh or cried because it's the second time that Rheina Clandestine had deceive him once more…

Honestly, Eclipse felt bad for being the subject of betrayal once more but for some reason, the world-hopper couldn't be mad at Rheina for what she had done and could only chuckle bitterly as he clenches the [token] within his hand.

For the first time in his whole life, be it as a former human being or a world-hopper, Eclipse showed nothing, but a sincere smile plastered on his face without his signature smug that he always carried on.

"Rebirth…." – he mumbled under his breath and after that, a sudden system alert came once more.
