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

***SYSTEM SUBSPACE***

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

Eclipse immediately looked at the system interface when he heard the notification coming from the system and after that, a content appeared and with this notification, his designated role as the [main character] for this new world plot has now solidified.

« ….. DING! Congratulations for deciphering the hidden item within your hands! The item [??? Token] will now revealed its true form and its real name! »

After that, the [token] within Eclipse's hand shines brighter that makes him closed his eyes for a moment and afterwards, he felt that the [token] within his hand reshape into something that he is quite familiar with it.

As he adjust his eyesight when the light disappears, Eclipse take a good look at the supposed [token] within his hand but there is no sign of the [token] at all and the item within his palm is none other than… a simple gemstone necklace with crimson-hued color.

He frowns as he inspects the new item within his hand that he believes in as the [token] that Rheina had given to him before.

'The [token] transformed into a necklace? Just what kind of necklace was this?'

As he thought about that, the world-hopper inspected the transformed [token] into a necklace within his hand and he noticed the eagle symbol from the [token] was still imprinted at the centerpiece of the crimson gemstone, together with the lotus flower symbol.

'I don't mind the design for this necklace but… isn't a bit too feminine for me to wear this?'

If someone saw him wearing this kind of necklace, others would think that he had quite a [unique taste] when it comes to fashion senses.

Although the world-hopper didn't mind other people's opinion about him and it doesn't matter to him if this necklace is too much a feminine for him or not, he would just think of a way to remedy this design and nothing else.

'Necklaces aren't always to wear around the neck, right? Or I could just change the necklace chain into my liking since the chains looks too feminine for me though.'

At the end, after he got out from this system subspace, he would remodify this necklace that he had and before he could think any further, the system notification alert appeared, and the world-hopper read its content that he believe that it will be revealed about the information of this [token] transformed into a gemstone necklace.

« ….. DING! Congratulations for acquiring [Falcon of Zephyr – Crimson Lotus]! …. »

As he read the contents about the item called [Falcon of Zephyr – Crimson Lotus], the world-hopper raised his eyebrow when he read a certain clause at the end of this content.

"Don't tell me… there is more about this item than meets the eye? Tsk! What a troublesome item is this and now it seems like I got myself into more troublesome matters than I thought."

« …. It's pre-ordained that you received this item from the start the moment you reincarnated back to this worldline… »

The world-hopper got startled by the sudden voice that came around and it was from before he entered to the system subspace.

'Oh, great. So, you're still there? I thought you just left me here like forever though.'

Eclipse wasn't that mad for this particular "system" to just leave him hanging before but right now, the world-hopper could tell that this strange "system" seems like had a similarity with Silver, no, that's not it.

More likely, this [system] doesn't sound like those typical [system] guides from the command center.

He needs to confirm something.

« …. I didn't leave though. I just step aside when the system command initiate its command and just observe what happens within the sidelines… »

Eclipse crossed his arms around his chest and then raised its eyebrow as he looked at the system interface because he didn't know where to look when this peculiar "system" guide spoke out of thin air.

'Oh, really? Care to tell me then.'

He paused for a moment before he continued; "Who are you? Or, more precisely….

What kind of game are you playing right now…. CYRUS?"

After he said those words, the system guide, or more accurately, the one that Eclipse addressed as Cyrus, didn't speak for a moment but that didn't last long when Eclipse heard a sigh coming from his supposedly system guide.

« …. You haven't met me personally and yet, you managed to know who I am? Excellent. As expected for someone who is handpicked by the Lord God himself… »

Eclipse frowned at the statement coming from him and ignore those statement as he questioned, or more specifically, interrogate him.

"Don't change the subject, Cyrus. What are you doing right now? Also, how come that you became my system guide when you're a world-hopper, just like me?"

'It's not that I don't trust Cyrus at all but rather, I don't trust his superior since that person is the only one who openly against me as one of the successor candidates chosen by the Lord God himself.'

Not only that but Eclipse had an inkling suspicion about Cyrus' superior, but he doesn't have any evidence to back up all of his claims.
