Chasing the blue moon

When Shen lin opened his eyes he found himself in a unfamiliar place " Huhh! Where is this place and why am I here . And what was that robotic voice, from where did that come from (⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠) ?".

In front of him , that place was covered by mist nothing can be visible. He tried to walk in the mist to find out what was there but no matter how long he walked in but he can't see anything regarding how close he get to the mist .After walking around for some time Shen lin noticed that the surface he was walking was making somewhat unusual sound. Rather than a sound on walking on ground it's more likely a sound of water. He looked below his shoes and found that there was not ground under his feet but water.

" How can someone walk on water ?" Shen lin said." And where I am,why can't I see anything hereರ⁠_⁠ರ?"

Just then he was dwelling on those questions of himself he heard that robotic voice again "[ Congratulations to host for successfully bounding with system]"

[ Welcome in the world of novel « The demon king's hidden heir »] .

Shen lin (⁠'⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠'⁠): What.....? . What system?

[ Host may not understand but system is your helper in this world ]

Shen lin: "so why are you appearing now and welcoming me now ,do you know I already spent almost more than 24 hours here in this world "

[ Sorry,for the inconvenience host but main system was already out of energy when we bring your soul to this world that is why we were late for bounding a system to host ] .

Shen lin: So ,you are like my cheat key here in this this world?

[ No host , I'm not exactly your cheat key. I will assign you with mission give you points on completion of mission you can buy things from system store but if you failed a mission you will get punishment accordingly to the mission' s rank .]

Shen lin: So ,are you saying you are not my cheat key but my boss in this world.

Shen lin furiously "Are you kidding me, seriously?" Why would I listen to you?

[ Host if you didn't listen to the system's arrangements you will be punished and your soul will be sent back to your original world] .

Shen lin: So what?

[ Host you were already dead in your original world if we sent your soul back you can't live in that world anymore.]

Shen lin : So , isn't it better to die peacefully in your own world rather than work for a system and just die on some random mission failure or by main protagonist.

[ No host, it's not like that you just have to fill the plot holes of the novel ]

Shen lin: So you want me to just fill the plot holes in novel but.... I like a growth system where a transmigrater gets benefits and skills.And if I remain like this sooner or later I will be killed by someone.

[ But....]

Shen lin: Actually.... Leave it I don't want benefits like that I have a more efficient way. " I can kill male protagonist and take his place right (⁠☞⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠ ⁠☞.."

[ No host you can't do that ]

Shen lin: Why can't I do that?

[ If you kill the main protagonist the world will collapse ] { let me check his personal information from his real world, Is he really a university student how can he think about killing someone without a reason.After checking Shen lin's personal information.... what..... Is this information correct, is he not a criminal in his real world, It's very hard to believe this from his behaviour (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠) }

Shen lin: "...." So, where is this place?

[ Host it's your sea of consciousness. After binding with system your sea of consciousness is opened ]

Shen lin with a excited expression:" Really "

Then what other benefits I have?

[ After binding with system you will get a newbie package]

Shen lin put back of a finger on his chin and said" Ohhh!"

Then a screen started to fly in air in front of him with a question written on it

"[ Host would you like to open newbie gift package? Yes / No ]

Shen lin clicked on the yes side screen with one of his finger. When he clicked once again system announced [ Congratulations host for having the original novel card of the novel" The demon king's hidden heir " and a chance for lucky draw]

Shen lin "So , I can draw something from lucky draw."

[ Host would you like to use novel card ]

" What is the novel card " Shen lin asked.

[ Dear host, novel card contains original novels information it can be used only once ,after you use it you will know the whole story of the novel Or you can say it is more like you personally read the whole novel only in a instance.]

" Ahhh! So it's like that then use it immediately" Shen lin replied.

" I also want to know what happened in this world so I can have more trump card to survive here, system use it right now " Shen lin insisted.

[ Ok Host , command for use of novel card is accepted ]

As soon as system announce his acceptance the novel card come out of screen and started to shine in midair and with a flash entered in Shen lin's forehead.

When the novel card enters in Shen lin's forehead everything that happens in the original novel flash in front of Shen lin's eyes in a speed of a lightening.

[ Congratulations host you now successfully used the novel card]

"System, can you please tell me what the hell is that " Shen lin hold his head with one of his hand " Is this seriously, how can a novel had so many plot holes to begin with. And why the male lead had so many wife's I forgot the count of them.How the hell he was able to handle all of them ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯ ".

[ Emmm , sorry host I can't answer that question]

Shen lin: So why don't you tell me the truth now .I already know something is not right here .If you don't want me to kill him or get killed by him just tell me what is exactly going on ^⁠_⁠^ .

[ Host , what are you saying]

" Don't play innocent here, tell me what is exactly going on here ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ "Shen lin frowned one of his eyebrows and glare at system.

[ Host why do you think something is not right here]

" isn't it quite obvious, First a transmigrater always know full story before they got Crossed in any novel world.

Second, when you first appeared you told me that you was late because you used a lot of energy to bring my soul here . It means that was not your original intention at first and you take that decision at last measure.

Third, You are behaving suspicious from the start Even if I tried to annoy you you just keep buttering me up .

And lastly I don't like your apperance that's it Shen lin stated his facts and said " Now are you willing to tell me the situation "?

[ Host your first and second reasons are understanding but don't you think your third and last reasons are far than being reasonable]

"Ahhhhh! Can't you just tell me now , why are you still beating around the bushes....." Shen lin's throw a temper.

[ Host , we have our reasons I can't tell you all details but an unknown bug entered the novels world due to which the original Shen lin of novel died before his esteemed death and we have no choice but to find a soul that had same birth chart as original Shen lin]

"Why would you wanted someone having same birth chart as original Shen lin,you can find someone more suitable than me? " Shen lin asked.

[ Host it's not as simple as you think, for successfully bringing a soul here there are some conditions and we can't leave the original body here for a long time otherwise it will be of no use to bring a soul in this world]

" But what does it have to do with me I'm not obliged to find that bug for you anyways I'm already dead in original novel and there is nothing related to me .So I can just run somewhere far away and live a happy life "

[ No host, you can't do that if you don't find that bug the world will collapse and system will be freezed ]

Shen lin : "...."

[ If system for freezed host will also die ]

Shen lin: whaaaaaaaat... Then what if I died?

[ If host died system will also collapse host ]

"Sooooo....are you saying you and me can live together and die together " Shen lin asked.

[ Exactly host ]

Shen lin with a calm expression:" Then I have to do as you say if that's the case I'm not going to do that".

[ Why Host don't you want to live.You just have to complete the missions of finding plot holes and related to that and find the bug ,]

" its not like I don't want to do that but the hidden plot can be dangerous and I don't think I can handle them with this much power if you want me to complete those missions And that stubborn main protagonist of your.I want something else as compensation (⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠). Shen lin smirked as he said that.

[ What you want host]

"Let's negotiate I will help you but you have to fulfill my demands and give me your control " Shen lin waved his hand.

[ What demands you want to be fulfilled]

Shen lin: Give me more skills so that I can be strong enough to survive on my own.

[ Host I can't directly give you skills but I can modify myself as a growth system so you can buy good skills and weapons in system mall with points]

Shen lin: Ok then I accept this negotiation.[ Congratulations host on modifying the system to growth system.After getting modified the system will reward you and give you some beginners point and help you open your spiritual sea consciousness a bit ]

"What you can open my consciousness sea" as Shen lin said this the mist around him started to fadeup to some fifty meters. Now he can see upto some extent he was standing on water surface. " System,I also want you to become handsfree and operate with mind command."

[ Ok Host as you wish, system is setted to handsfree mode. Host you still have a chance to lucky draw will you use it]

" Ohh ! That ..yes I will use it now " Shen lin replied.

A spinning wheel appeared in front of him as he talks about it . The wheel was colored like a rainbow each partition have different colours. It was shining brightly. Shen lin spinned the wheel and it stopped on a partition there was written* Alchemist's hand*.

"System what is this " Shen lin asked.

[ Host Alchemist's hand is a skill that will make your alchemy hundred percent successful but you have to find formula of a medicine without any formula you can use it, you can also upgrade a formula or invent your own formula after experience]

Shen lin: Hmmmm..

[ Host would you like to redeem your reward]

Shen lin: Yes, redeem it .

As he redeemed bos reward the spinning wheel start to shine and with the spinning wheel Shen lin's body also started to shine.

Shen lin was surprised at first but he thought he will get used to it now.

" So ,now I can enter in research branch with the help of Alchemist hands skill " Shen lin looked satisfied.

[ No host you can't do that you have to enter in warrior branch with main protagonist]

" System system system who do you think I am? " Shen lin asked.

[ Shen ...lin]

" Correct, Now I am Shen lin who doesn't have a spiritual beast and you know what will happen to me if I enter in warrior branch, right" Shen lin stated.

[ You will be sent to become a public guide because all guides with low rank and weak spiritual beast are not qualified to pair up with a designated esper ]

" Right,and there I have to guide a lot of people with this and that and I am a pure virgin in both lives I don't want to use myself like that,ok .And I'm already dead in original novel so it doesn't required me to continue the story I can gather information about plot holes from outside.It will be easier and safe to stay away from Main protagonist as much as possible " Shen lin reasoned with system.

[ You are somewhat right but host you still have to do the missions if you don't do that you have to bear punishment ]

Shen lin: Okay okay I understand.

Shen lin thought for a moment and then continued his conversation with system with a serious look: " Now I understand that why Chen Yi is an A rank esper but not a S rank....his spiritual powers are sealed by his father's bloodline and his father is actually a great demon king and nobody knows about his father not even his mother the princess.

Male lead had a lot of wives." ...Goddd Is he a male succubus who attracts every girl towards him to have that much wives. Hahhhh! " Shen lin stomped his feet in rage.

[ Host isn't it obvious why the main protagonist attract everybody it's because he is the one of the male Gods present in novel]

" Are you saying there are more than one handsome faces in the novel other than Chen Yi? " Shen lin asked.

[ Yes]

Shen lin:"....." Whatever.

But system do you know who is that hades he seems quite a powerful person he has his own black dragon army equilent to royal golden army.He also own a assassination organisation under the name of information guild . And it's quite strange that he didn't make any move in whole novel but at the time of the crown ceremony of first prince when main protagonist was not there.

And it's all because of hades who delayed the crown ceremony and then later on main protagonist seized the throne."

[ Sorry host but I don't know I'm just a beta version of system as main system was out of energy.it will take some time for me to upgrade myself and give you the answer to this question]

" Hmmmm! So you also don't know about him .But he really is someone very powerful.

As Shen lin said that he got startled and shout system did you see that.?

[ What host....]

" I think I saw something like a big transparent ball In my sea of consciousness and there was something Inside that ball " Shen lin explained.

[ Host , But I didn't detect anything else in your sea of consciousness.]

" But I just saw something was there,there is definitely something" Shen lin insisted.

[ If that's the case you will know when you open your sea of consciousness to next level]

" You mean to say that I can level up my sea of consciousness " Shen lin gazed in a direction.

[ Yes host you can level up your sea of consciousness when you have enough points for levelling]

"Ok...!" Shen lin nodded his head slightly.

At the same time in the cave Chen Yi woke up from his rest as he opened his eyes he found himself staring at a stone ceiling he looked at his side and find that Shen lin was sleeping next to him while sitting on the ground and one hand of Shen lin's hands was placed on Chen Yi's hand.

Chen Yi was surprised to see this situation then he removed Shen lin's hand gently from his hand and stared at Shen lin for a while " This guy is really unpredictable."

He then come outside the cave and looked at Bei who was sitting outside and playing with pebbles and crabs on the beach.

" What are you doing here outside,Are you not worried that the guy inside will attack me..?" Chen Yi asked Bei with an instant glare.

And Bei shook his head as if he was saying that nothing will go wrong with master and if something happened Bei will handle it on his own.

" Do you like him cause he can see you?" Chen Yi asked Bei.

Bei didn't say anything and start playing with crabs on beach.

" Don't trust that guy easily,ok " Chen Yi patted Bei head. " I'm going to take a bath, this blood of blade bugs is very stinky and disgustingly sticky, Want to come with me."

Bei shook his head in a no gesture.

" You want to guard that guy while he is still sleeping" Chen Yi asked Bei.

Bei nodded gentle and look at Chen Yi.

" Ok then, You stay here I'm going to wash up " Chen Yi accepted Bei's request and start walking towards the sea.

It was already dark but everything is visible because it was full moon night but the moon was not completely full because it's still in progress to complete itself.

Chen Yi looked at sea with a cold impression and said " It will be midnight soon ".

When Chen Yi was taking a bath outside Shen lin also woke up from sleep and he was now binded with system.Be opened his eyes and found he was alone in cave nobody was there.

Shen lin: " Damn it ! Did he leave me here and returned alone without me,that bastard....? "

[ Host Main protagonist was not returned but he is outside, you can go and check outside]

Shen lin: Sooo, he is outside.But what is he doing outside let me go and check it out ?

Shen lin come out of cave as he come out he saw that it's already night. He saw Bei sitting there and playing He come closer to Bei and sit next to him.

At this time the moon is complete and it is a blue moon night on that planet the moon is breathtakingly beautiful.It was looking like a bouquet of blue roses is hanging in sky .

Shen lin also looked at moon while sitting next to Bei .He was a little surprised cause it's his first time in whole his life time to see a blue moon. For his surprise the moon is full and round .There was some dark blue spots on moon but despite having those spots the blue moon was awefully marvelous.

But when Shen lin was inside the blue moon was not complete at the time Shen lin came out the blue moon was complete and after coming out Shen lin was feeling a little hot .

His body was growing hotter second after second. At first he didn't notice it and start talking to Bei who was sitting beside Shen lin " Bei, Where is your master. Did he go somewhere, Why can't I see him."
