Eclipse

**********

« Answering the esteemed host, this is indeed an anomaly. The system also confirms something about the male protagonist from the last worldline. The one who took over the body of Xiao Zixin… Had a similar aura from the other worldlines that the esteemed host had entered before… »

'Similar aura…'

At the reminder of a somewhat traumatic experience that he had encountered from those worldlines, it makes him feel like someone poured a cold bucket of water into his head the moment Silver dropped the bomb onto him, because he knew what his system companion was talking about.

"Y-you mean…" – He didn't have the heart to continue because he felt like his chest was being constricted as he couldn't breathe, and Silver noticed how uncomfortable he was.

« Esteemed host, please calm down! Your heartbeat is getting faster and if this continues, you might end up in a mental shock like before! Esteemed host! ECLIPSE! …. »

Choosing the name of Eclipse allowed him to break away from the chains of his past life and avoid being reminded of his previous identity, which he found pathetic.

When Silver tried to stabilize his emotions and after that, when his heartbeat was back to normal, Eclipse sighed heavily while clutching his chest; "I-if that similar aura that we felt back from the other worldlines that we entered… w-why seems like it keeps on following me?"

He would understand if the motive of the other unknown dimensional traveler was to eliminate him since Eclipse isn't some sort of ordinary dimensional traveler either.

Aside from the fact that he's a Platinum holder, the highest-ranking dimensional traveler within the Main House System, Eclipse is one of the chosen candidates to be the successor of the Main House System and had the chance to become the God and the Leader of the Worldline Realms.

'At the end, they won't be chosen even if they tried to harm me or to eliminate me. It's not my fault that I have chosen though.'

Although that particular aura that Silver mentioned earlier was everywhere whenever he entered each worldlines for the mission tasks, there was not a chance that his life being threatened by the other dimensional travelers but often times there were instances that he was being saved from an unknown danger that even Silver couldn't detect sometimes.

Also, that unknown dimensional traveler seems to know about Eclipse's condition.

Yes, it's true that Eclipse's soul is undergoing some restoration process and aside from Silver, the only ones who knew about his condition are the Higher Councils from the Dimensional Department and this information is strictly confidential.

'Unless there's a traitor within the ranks but who could it be, then?'

With that thought, Eclipse sighed in frustration; "So, what now?"

« Silver filed a report back to the Higher Councils immediately after you were forcibly ejected from that world. The report included information about the abnormalities and from our previous journeys as well so that they can analyzed the situation carefully. For now, the esteemed host just needs to wait for the Higher Council's response to this case… »

After hearing what Silver said, Eclipse just nodded as he approved of what Silver did without his command since this is a serious case and needs to be addressed immediately.

For a moment, both dimensional traveler and his system companion wait for the response coming from the Higher Councils and in every minute counts, Eclipse felt anxious for that moment and Silver noticed Eclipse's sudden wavelength that keeps on fluctuating because of his nervousness.

« Esteemed host, you need to calm down or else, you'll be on mental shock once more… »

Eclipse smiled bitterly as he looked at his system companion who materialized his appearance of a white furball of a rabbit that now latches on his shoulders.

"You can't blame me for not worrying about this situation since my condition should be confidential and also, we don't know yet the identity of that unknown dimensional traveler back from the last worldline."

As he mentioned the unknown dimensional traveler that took over the protagonist's body, he frowns because of this absurd situation that falls to him.

'Just who that person might be?'

While Eclipse was lost on his own thoughts…

*BEEP!

He was brought out from his own thoughts when he heard the notification sound coming from the monitors in front of him and he immediately went through and looked for the email that was sent to him.

He immediately click on the email and read the contents carefully….

To: Eclipse,

Greetings! We have analyzed the report that was provided by your system guide Silver and based on our analysis, these unknown abnormalities that you encountered is something that we didn't expect as well. We tried to track down the source, but for some reason, it feels like it's blocking us…

********

'Something was blocking them for tracking down the source? What could that be?'

After he read the first part, Eclipse looked at his system companion with a frown, and Silver noticed this.

« Esteemed host, for what Silver had read on this report content, Silver felt like something is odd right now… »

The dimensional traveler agreed on what Silver stated because he also felt that way and since Silver noticed about this odd situation as well, might as well trust our instincts for this special case.

After that, he continued reading the rest of the contents.

********

As for your condition, your system guide stated in the report that you almost exhausted your spiritual soul during your mission task back then when you took over the role of the Leader of the Three Realms in the Cultivation worldline. When we looked into that from the system's backup archive, we noticed that there is someone that shouldn't be on that worldline or part of the world plot.

Its name is Lin Shu Yang….

*********

Eclipse frowned at the familiar yet unfamiliar name; "Silver, can you pull out the information from the system archive about that worldline and looked for the name Lin Shu Yang."

« Understood, esteemed host. Please wait for a moment… »
