# Chapter 1: Straight to the Point
After the disaster, the Night Watcher organization gradually bounced back, working tirelessly through the night to clean up the mess.
Even though the disaster lasted just an hour, it wreaked havoc across the entire country.
These situations needed to be accounted for and handled with utmost seriousness.
Though Night Star Lan used the power of Destiny to tackle most of the issues, many pesky details still required attention.
On another front…
Night Star Lan and Luo Xi perched on a high building, casually observing a certain individual.
That would be Kuro, now stripped of his powers.
Gone was the identity of the Origin of Star Eclipses; he now looked delightfully ordinary—a picture of harmlessness.
“Hmm… if that’s the case, he shouldn’t be causing any more trouble, right?”
Night Star Lan murmured, her concern for this so-called friend nagging at her.
Of course, he probably wouldn’t be a friend for much longer.
Kuro’s fate had now taken a decidedly mundane turn. No longer would he brush shoulders with the extraordinary; he would simply lead a peaceful life.
As a human now—not the Origin of Star Eclipses—why not embrace this new life and showcase a different kind of passion, right?
In the end, he was passionate about everything, becoming human wouldn’t be a setback; he just couldn’t cause chaos in anyone else’s destiny.
“Goodbye, Kuro. This is the fate I have arranged for you.”
With that, Night Star Lan muttered to herself before turning and leaving with Luo Xi, no longer paying attention to Kuro’s receding figure.
At that very moment…
Kuro lifted his head slightly, a cheerful smile plastered across his face.
“Ah, how touching! Even after all the trouble I caused you, you still don’t blame me? Thank you, my friend! I’m quite satisfied with my new fate. Whether or not you still consider me a friend, you will always remain an unforgettable companion in my life.”
Lost memories?
That was a joke.
Kuro’s shift from the Origin of Star Eclipses back to being human led to the loss of power accompanied by various flaws, but he wasn’t going to develop any obsessive tendencies.
He simply and willingly accepted his fate as an ordinary person, all while retaining his memories.
Night Star Lan had mistakenly assumed he’d completely forget who he was.
How wrong she was!
Of course, even after shedding his identity, retaining his memories didn’t spark any mischievous ideas for Kuro.
He was just a person who loved life now.
Kuro wasn’t opposed to the idea of embracing the trials of human life.
He would continue to maintain a high enthusiasm for the world around him.
Meanwhile…
Night Star Lan returned to the Fish Playing House, carefree, with Luo Xi by her side.
The former hummed a cheerful little tune, radiating nothing but joy.
After all, solving such a massive mess meant she could dive into a blissfully lazy life without a care in the world; who wouldn’t be happy about that?
Suddenly, Luo Xi broke the casual silence, “Kuro didn’t lose his memories.”
“Shock! How is that even possible?!”
“You just turned him into an ordinary person. You never explicitly said he would lose his memories.”
“Hm… I thought he’d forget everything. Doesn’t leaving the past behind make one an ordinary person?”
Night Star Lan’s thoughts began to waver.
She pondered whether to reconsider and turn Kuro back into a lightbulb hanging from the theater ceiling.
After all, who knew if a memory-rich Kuro would try to make a comeback?
Luo Xi seemed to sense Night Star Lan’s inner turmoil.
“There’s no need to worry. He’ll humbly embrace this fate and won’t create any more trouble.”
“Really?”
“Yep, because now he’s a human. Ordinary humans don’t have the same obsessive tendencies as the Origin of Star Eclipses.”
“I see, that’s good.”
Night Star Lan mumbled gloomily.
“But what if I bump into him on the street? I can’t just pretend I didn’t see him! Since he remembers everything, I can’t treat him like a stranger!”
Though she was a little loaf who thrived on laziness and chaos, she was still polite most of the time.
Meeting someone she recognized on the street typically required a friendly greeting.
Even more absurdly, Kuro had taken up residence in Yun Chang City, perilously close to her own home—there was a pretty good chance they’d cross paths.
Had she known this would happen, Night Star Lan would’ve tossed Kuro into another city to live!
“Well, whatever. As long as he doesn’t come and interrupt my lazy days, I’m fine.”
Night Star Lan decided to kick back, tossing her troubles aside.
By the way…
Even though Luo Xi was now a complete Origin of Stars, she hadn’t regained all her powers.
The power of Star Eclipses was sealed away.
Keeping her full strength suppressed allowed for a smoother life with Night Star Lan.
At least she wouldn’t attract Destiny’s unwanted attention.
Holding onto her original strength was more than enough.
As Night Star Lan and Luo Xi returned to the Fish Playing House, Night Star Lan plopped down on her bed, clearly exhausted.
After all, dealing with such a colossal mess and temporarily shouldering the weight of Destiny was nothing to sneeze at.
This little salted fish of a loli wasn’t as resolute as the leader of the Night Watchers.
Having completed her duties, all she wanted now was a good night’s sleep.
Luo Xi quietly sat by the bed, gazing fondly at Night Star Lan’s adorable sleeping face.
Just then, a ghost floated back from outside, spotting a familiar figure.
“Hm? Is Night Star and Night Lan back?”
Eypar swiftly drifted over to the bedside, her little tufts of hair bobbing energetically, her excitement palpable.
But just then, Luo Xi turned to her and made a “shh” gesture.
“Shh…”
Eypar quickly covered her mouth, obediently falling silent.
Only then did she realize that Night Star Lan was sound asleep.
Cautiously, Eypar waved at Luo Xi.
“Uh… hey there?”
“Let’s live together from now on.”
“Uh… sure…”
…
Once Kuro’s influence faded, those transformed into Star Eclipses due to the curse of Destiny quickly reverted to being ordinary folks, resuming normal lives.
However, those who had become Star Eclipses due to d*ath hardly changed at all.
The biggest shift was likely the disappearance of that substantial flaw—Star Eclipse pollution.
The defects that once controlled them gradually faded away.
Star Eclipses became a different breed of human, potentially integrating back into society.
While many flaws disappeared, there was a grim downside: their lifespan in the human realm changed.
All the immortal characteristics of Star Eclipses vanished; there would eventually come a day of natural dissolution.
Since they had died once, they were also more prone to slipping away than ordinary lives.
For instance, a lack of longing for the human world could lead to a silent vanishing act.
This marked the end for all existing Star Eclipses.
The notion that a Star Holder could gain a second life through d*ath was a pipe dream.
Everything was back to normal.
Of course, many Star Eclipses remained in the world, and it would take quite a while for them to naturally fade away.
Plus, they possessed unique powers, so law enforcement like the Night Watchers—who wielded star powers—still had to strive to maintain order.
As long as those early generations refrained from idle shenanigans, they wouldn’t trigger another catastrophic event to leave the Night Watchers feeling powerless.
This way, Night Star Lan could enjoy her lazing around and cuddling with the little lolis beside her.
Wasn’t everything she had done leading up to this very moment?
Let’s get straight to it!
