Chapter 4: An Unexpected Anomaly
Chapter 4: An Unexpected Anomaly
*********
LOCATION: WORLD-HOPPING DEPARTMENT
'WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK WAS THAT?!'
When he opened his eyes, he was now inside of his own system interface that was filled with 3D monitors and when he finally snaps from what happened, he immediately went over to those monitors to search everything about the last world and tried to access using his special authority that was grant to him by the higher councils.
For over the millennium years' worth of world-hopping journey, because of his dedication to his work and fulfilled any tasks that was given to him, the higher councils from the World-Hopping Department grants him the [Platinum] position, meaning, he is above from other regular world-hoppers in the department.
With this position, he can now freely enter worldlines one after another without any restrictions, unlike when he was still a novice world-hopper and had to follow the OOC restriction.
After a minute had passed, he finally pulled out a clip from the last worldline to check what happened before Silver initiated that emergency deportation without warning.
However, when he pulled out the clip from the system's archive, all he can see was nothing but a blank screen that made him frown.
"Silver, explained to me why you initiated an emergency deportation from that world without warning? This is the first time that you have done it without my command."
He crossed his arms around his chest while looking through the monitors and waited for Silver to appear and materialize in front of him.
All systems don't have genders, as they were only a series of codes coming from the Main House System Interface and only acted as guides for the world-hoppers.
...….
...…..
« Do you want revenge? This system can grant your wish if you consent to make a pact with this system. »
.......
He suddenly remembered those words that rang through his mind back then when he was on a verge of madness because of the betrayal from the surrounding people, for those who mocked and tormented him and framed him for being a traitor and condemn him to his death.
He was a cautious individual, and he wouldn't entertain that unknown voice that speaks through his mind, but because he couldn't think straight back then, and could only accept the offer that was given to him by that entity called [system].
When he finally woke up, he saw nothing but a vast darkness that surrounded him and based on his observation; he was the only person within that place and no one else.
After that, the entity called [system] appeared and materialized into a white-looking wisp and explained everything to him. He was still cautious, but after probing that entity to gauge its intention, he could tell that the entity was telling the truth about helping him to get out of his misery.
Because of his pact with the system and decided to rename as Silver, he experienced millennium years of world-hopping and learned many things that he didn't learn back from his original world.
The purpose of this world-hopping was to take over the body of a certain individual and fulfill their wishes on their behalf. Moreover, if necessary, they had to eliminate the world destiny's chosen one.
As for him, he had portrayed unique identities during his world-hopping journey.
Be it a high school bully in a modern-school setting,
A domineering president of a well-known company in modern-entertainment world,
A knight paladin of a holy kingdom in high-fantasy world,
A male concubine in the imperial palace drama (this is the worst one when he first world-hopped into a world where men can get pregnant and sadly, he took over the body of a male [ger], the term he learned from that world.),
A rebellious young master from an aristocratic family in the western-fantasy world (is the system f*cking with me?!),
A Celestial Emperor of the three realms in Cultivation world (now, this was unexpected, and it's quite a headache!),
And other identities that he wasn't able to remember since they're a lot and he had lost count of it.
Most of the identities that he took over had roles of either the second male leads or supporting characters, but most of the time, he is a background character or just a passerby NPC without being relevant to the world plot.
However, there is one thing that he noticed during his world-hopping journey.
That is… they did not give him the role of a villain.
Never, not even once.
Even though he had identities that matches to became villains like the high school bully or the domineering president type, even if he had an identity of a demon that was most likely to be categorized as villain, they did not portray him as one.
'How ironic. Back in my original world, they labeled me as a traitor and perceived me as a villain, but during this world-hopping journey, they didn't cast me as a villain. Does this have to do with Silver, then?'
« Answering the esteemed host, the reason for Silver's emergency deportation of your soul from that world is because Silver's alarm system warns about the sudden destruction of the plane. »
He snaps from reminiscing about those memories when Silver appeared and materialized as a cute looking furball white rabbit and the reason Silver chose this form was because of him being addicted to a certain novel that he read back from one of the worldlines that he entered.
He frowns when he heard what Silver said; "How the f*cking hell that happens?! Why there is a sudden destruction? Was it because of the male protagonist who was also a world-hopper?"
'Just who the heck is that world-hopper and managed to take over the protagonist role when it was off-limits, because protagonists are special roles that no world-hoppers should be able to take over.'
He didn't know, but for some reason, he was uncomfortable about this situation. Even back on his original world that he had long forgotten, there is one thing that never leaves to his system and that was his instincts.
For that moment, Silver didn't speak for a minute. That made him anxious because there are times whenever Silver didn't answer him directly means one thing.
"An anomaly. What should we do for now, Silver?"
