I am a reincarnation player.

After experiencing the faction war during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, he discovered that "quantity" only mattered for those above the extraordinary level, otherwise they would just be food for the strong.

"The players on this Thorn Rose are so evenly matched." Mona glanced around furtively. As a seasoned player, she could spot a problem right away.

There are quite a few extraordinary magicians in Valhalla. Although they are numerous, they are of no help at all, and a large number of them will be eliminated in each mission.

At the border stage, the simplest tasks are all based on the extraordinary level. Of course, you won't gain any advantage by challenging higher-level players, and the bulk of the rewards will be taken away by stronger players.

The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker. If you want to become strong, you need to stand out from the brutal fighting and get the snowball rolling.

Therefore, linking factions to borderlands is not a good idea for new players. In closed worlds, where everyone works together to open up new lands, factions can develop rapidly. However, without access to resources from borderlands, closed worlds develop too slowly.

"This faction is so weird, why do they get all the benefits?" Mana muttered. According to the standard of key training in Valhalla, players must obtain extraordinary strength in the first five copies before ascension. Of course, players who can retrieve the enemy are not counted.

"You're probably taking advantage of me. It's fair to say when you think about it. Those of you heroic spirits who became players are now transcendent. Who can we go to for justice?"

"It's the highest extraordinary level. Even when the Magic King became a player, he was at most extraordinary level. The others will be reduced proportionally." Mana pouted and retorted, just like children arguing about whose father is greater.

"Besides, there aren't that many Heroic Spirits. Most of them are ordinary people like me."

Haha, ordinary people.

Yuki was too lazy to argue with her. Taichi's actions meant a price, and that price was the lives of thousands of ordinary players. Generally speaking, players of Thorn Rose needed to go through more than a dozen dungeons to be promoted to extraordinary level, and then they had to go through a terrible assessment task.

Fatty, Li Dan, Curly, Pan Zi, these people are all blurred in my memory. If there is any BUG, ​​it is that there is no participation setting in the copy before ascension, so that the brave weak can also have a taste of soup, and not be eliminated because of a small mistake.

Walking on the central street, Yuki saw a handsome young man in a light blue uniform walking towards him. He was hugging two hot female players in his arms. He turned his head slightly to let the two pass by.

"Do you know him?" Mana looked around. The young man was wearing a police uniform.

"Well, a brave weakling. I didn't expect him to come up so soon." Yuki glanced at the back and walked into the cafe next to him.

The strength of the Thorn Roses is similar, so of course there won't be any players coming to work as waiters. The boss bought a group of bionic people from the "Mechanical Believers". They usually work as waiters, and can be brought into battle during dungeons.

Yuki chose a seat by the window and saw people coming and going on the street outside. Because he had imposed restrictions, players rarely went to the border area unless they were trading items, so the small number of people made it seem very lively.

Mana was still looking around. He discovered many secrets of Yucheng after coming out, such as there was only one vortex in the sky, and the players here had a strange sense of relaxation.

This was a little unbelievable to her. A link point indicated that all players of Thornrose had a common hometown, and they might even know each other. The complicated interpersonal relationships in Valhalla gave her a headache.

A and B have a mortal feud, but B doesn't even know A.

"That's really weird. Even though I'm accepting missions so frequently, I still have time to hang out. It takes me days just to adjust my mindset."

"Because they're used to it. One mission, one week off. Humans are very adaptable." Yuuki took a sip of coffee, noticing it wasn't as good as Hayasaka's, so he gently put it down. "By the way, you've uncovered quite a few secrets, right? How do you feel about that?"

"Tsk, I can't tell anyone. As for how it is? It's pretty good. Each faction has its own characteristics. Some are brutal, some are easy. But there are only a few factions that accept missions frequently. I've never seen anyone so nonchalant."

Manas swung his calves. Apart from the average strength of the players, this was the biggest anomaly.

Very few people can gather all that authority, and even if they do, it will become a tool to attack the enemy like the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

As for promotion, don't even think about it. Other players will not accept the settings of "I'm doing this for your own good" and "I want everyone to become stronger quickly". They will only unite to overthrow you and divide you up.

"Huh, supernatural powers cannot be used in the outpost." She suddenly came to her senses. No wonder it was so harmonious. It turned out that the source of the unrest had been removed.

You finally see it, sometimes you don’t know whether you are stupid or smart.

Yuki rolled his eyes and looked at the cafe with interest. Yes, this thing was an illegal building. The outpost of Briar Rose was full of identical high-rise buildings, and the cafe was built along the street with ordinary building materials.

The prosperity brought some comfort to this true 'unknown king'. He heard the doorbell ring and a familiar man and woman walked in.

"Kitahara?"

"Sky Island?"

The two looked at each other. This was the first time they met after their ascension. Qiansha next to them was much more reserved and bowed slightly.

"When did you come up here, and where is Miss Mai?" Kitahara Iori was very excited. There's a saying that goes, meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

"Just came up a few copies, and the senior went to do the mission." Yuki stood up, also a little excited. There are fewer and fewer people who can talk to him casually, and only the idiots in the facial expression club don't think too much.

"How many copies? That's the first two batches. You're showing off, aren't you? Hey, who is this?"

Kitahara turned his head and saw Mana who was blocked by the chair. The latter was looking at him curiously and waved his hand gently.

"Liangyi Mana, the new member of my team."

"So, you're telling me to let Miss Mai go on the mission while you're having fun here with a little girl?" Kitahara pinched his chin and nodded slightly. "Sky Island Yuuki, you're such a beast! If Kohei saw this, he'd probably break his teeth."

Kohei Imamura did not become a player, but Yuki knew that this sentence was correct. If that two-dimensional monster saw a loli calling him brother, he would go crazy on the spot.

"You're pretty much the same. Life must be pretty exciting, except for Chisa."

"Uh, how do you know?"

"Because you, a beast, have been looking at Miss Bionic's miniskirt."

"No, no, Lolicon is still more popular."

As they talked, the two men moved closer and stopped half a meter away. Suddenly, they reached out and slapped each other hard, laughing at the same time.

"Haha, I'm relieved to see that you are okay."

"What auspicious words are you saying? Even if you die, I won't die."

Mana slowly opened her mouth, and the straw fell out of her mouth. She was stunned and could not connect the man in front of her with the Soul King.

Of course, players also have friends, and there are epic players who hide their strength, but they will never be as casual as this. They are more like comrades and companions, which is different from her and Illya, because the foundation of friendship is strength.

Friends from mortal times?

She had an incredible idea. This was too difficult. Players came from countless worlds. Even if they were from the same hometown, the chances of them knowing each other were slim. Moreover, when it came to epics and monsters, the so-called friends would have died halfway.

A strange faction that seems to have skipped the closed world stage?

Yuki ignored the little agent Mana. His friendship with Kitahara Iori was relatively pure. He was one of the few acquaintances who was not involved in the reincarnation game.

They were just neighbors and classmates. Beiyuan was also very smart and refused to ask any extra questions. For example, the little girl next to him who was eavesdropping with her ears perked up was very strange. Because the people in Thorn Rose were all ordinary people, the elderly and children were extremely rare and were basically eliminated in the novice mission.

"Senior opened an izakaya up ahead, would you like to go and have a seat? The reincarnation game is really great. You can easily exchange for fine wines that you never dared to dream of before."

"Minors are not allowed in. This is a rule set by our seniors, right?" Yuuki pursed his lips at Mona, who was about to protest, and looked out the window. "The outpost has become bustling. If you don't look at the sky, it looks exactly like Izu Shopping Street."

There are "illegal buildings" on both sides of the road, and even convenience stores. Even though the items inside can be exchanged at will, what can I say? I would rather spend a few more points and continue my old habits.

"The Arbitration Council is doing a good job. I'm not very willing to go to the border area anymore."

"why?"

"The reincarnation game there is too strong a flavor, it's hard to adapt. Compared to them, people like us are like newborn babies, it's inevitable that we will learn bad things." Kitahara Iori sighed. Everyone knew that the Thorn Rose was strange because the stage of the 'closed world' was very long, enough to wash away the imprint of their hometown.

But they have only been ascending for two months, and this amount of time is not enough to change a person.

As a community leader, Kitahara Iori recognizes many players passing by the window with dazed eyes.

"Having a paradise on earth, being with familiar people, is a little comfort in this terrible world. I hope this kind of time can last forever."

"As long as you're satisfied."

"Hey, you talk like you created it on purpose." Kitahara poked Yuuki's stomach and chatted with him about some interesting things while waiting for the takeaway.

For example, the "Diving Club" collaborates with a club called the "Modern Visual Culture Research Society". The two sides send players to each other according to different tasks, and often organize activities together on weekdays.

In essence, it is an alliance of different teams from other camps, but with more camp characteristics. There is no mysterious "Bronze Tree" or "Hokage Village" in Thorn Rose. There are only clubs or companies. High school students play with high school students, college students cooperate with college students, and office workers play on the side.

A new order has been formed, and the bond is the previous identity and age, two things that are meaningless in the reincarnation game. Apart from that, there are no bloody stories from other camps.

Not to mention the sharply conflicting factions in "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", even the "War Orphans" and the "Ninja School" have hatred for each other because they have protagonists and villains, and this setting continues after becoming a player.

But Thorn Rose is different. It is just a bunch of everyday worlds. There may be a protagonist, but the villain is at best a yellow-haired ox head. There is no such thing as "mission" or "awakening" that can make you feel bitter and resentful at the sound of it.

"I know what's so strange about this outpost." Mana walked lightly, carrying a packaged cake. "The players here are too 'ordinary', just a bunch of ordinary citizens."

After all, Manas was born in a world where supernatural powers were concealed by gas explosions. These people were like ordinary students in the Third Primary School of Guanbuzi City, living an ordinary daily life.

I don’t know about magic or the Holy Grail, and of course I won’t be like a magician who fights his brains over something and lets the hatred last for thousands of years.

"Well, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to create this kind of 'harmony' even if I had all my abilities." Yuki subconsciously went to the convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes, lit it, and said softly:

"Without a clear distinction between good and evil, there's no such thing as a deep blood feud. If there's any real hatred, it's simply brought about by the reincarnation game. I don't have the time to mediate any factional conflicts. Just maintain the status quo."

"Reconciling conflicts is actually very simple. All we need to do is completely eliminate one side." Mana took a few light steps forward and explained, "Just like what was done in Valhalla. Of course, we took advantage of the opportunity when the Magic King became the Judge."

Speaking of Solomon, Yuuki frowned subconsciously.

"Why would the Magic King become the Judge? He holds the vast majority of authority in Valhalla and is the true ruler. Why would he serve as a pawn for the Samsara Game?"

"How would I know? Maybe he feels it's too boring and there's no room for advancement."

Hey, room for promotion?

Yuki suddenly remembered something. The upward space of the reincarnation game had been cut off by Taichi, as if heaven and man were separated forever. The reincarnationists above could not come down, and the players below could not go up.

No wonder he was determined to destroy Taiyi at all costs. Wouldn't that mean he would die?

It is known that the reincarnation game is a selection process to select the reincarnators. Judging from the situation of the witch god, it is a more massive war above, in which the stars are shattered and time is distorted.

"Let's go see Miss Liang Yi."

"No, let's play for two more days." Mana shook his head stubbornly, saying, "Now that you've touched the legacy, you're not worried about any subsequent reactions. Leave them alone for a few days, and then let me sneak back to investigate. Isn't that safer?"

Yuuki stared at her, knowing that the girl was trying to play but unable to object, he looked up at the vortex in the sky.

"Well, I also want to see what kind of reaction it triggers."

Chapter 3: Manas: I will follow you!

[By searching for surviving players, the dungeon 'Dark Night' has reached its final conclusion. The quest prompts are as follows]

[The clues were provided by 'Ninja Daoshu' Kisame and 'Ocean Blessed' Hawkeye]

[Confirming they were unaware of the player who ended the night, based on the clues they provided, we found the player who participated in the final battle, Mebius, the 'Beautiful and Splendid Savior'.]

[Mebius refused to cooperate, and reversed the speculation, confirming that she had 'died' in the eternal night and did not participate in the final battle]

[Players related to Valhalla and Magical Girls have been found and confirmed not to have participated in the final battle.]

The participant is Raymond, the player from the 'Ether Particle' group. His presence has been observed, but it cannot be confirmed that he is an epic-level player.

Judging from the time of the standard intersection, the probability of it being related to the mutation is 72.5%.

[Suggestion: Find Raymond and find out the circumstances of the final battle]

An electronic synthesized sound without any emotion rang out. The judge had a keen sense of smell and was extremely efficient. It only took him two or three days to figure out the situation of "Murder in the Night". However, just like before, this brought up endless questions.

The headhunters and Li Dan haven't figured out what's going on yet, and now Raymond has jumped out. As for the suggestion of "Bai Yan", it's nonsense. This is 100% related to him.

The judges would regularly use skills such as destiny exploration and cause and effect backtracking to scan the border areas, which was a bit like the local police checking household registration. It was a laborious and stupid method. There was no response before, but just a few days ago, they made a discovery.

Information about 'Taiyi' has appeared, but this is not exciting because there is too much related information.

In the Hall of Heroes, the end of the world, the Ninja School, the place of life and death...

A lot of information emerged, but after in-depth investigation, none of it was Taiyi.

It could be a memory, a fragment of a prop, or a piece of incomprehensible text, which makes the judge shudder.

'Taiyi' was erased by the reincarnation game, completely erased. Even the judge was implanted by the reincarnation game along with the mission, and other players will not have any memory of it.

Even Ryougi Shiki only knew to look for "Him's" legacy, but she couldn't remember who this "Him" was no matter what.

This change showed one thing: Taiyi was reviving and slowly crawling out of the abyss. Considering the price of that great upheaval, once he stuck half of his body out, there would be no hundreds of reincarnations and games to suppress him together.

"We must not let Him wake up, or He will kill us all immediately."

A cold voice sounded, gaining the unanimous agreement of the other eleven stars. Regardless of whether they had experienced that drastic change or not, they all knew what "Taiyi" meant.

That means 'nothing', absolutely 'nothing'.

"Hall of Valor is the biggest suspect, Solomon, what do you want to say?"

It's happened twice already, this can't be a coincidence.

"There's nothing much to say. I also know that some Valhalla players want to escape from the reincarnation game, and it's understandable that they would contact Taiyi, the only being who can do it." A gentle voice sounded, as if there was an elegant scholar behind the azure stars.

"I agree with the trial of 'Hall of Valor'. The question is who will go. It's a powerful faction. The five Heroic Kings are united and difficult to deal with."

"Three Grand Inquisitors are enough to destroy Valhalla!" the red star roared.

"Yes, the question is what will we gain? Can we find direct clues?" Solomon remained calm, answering his own questions. "No, it's more likely that Taiyi is a fragment now. What about the ether particles in the Hall of Heroes trial? Oh, and then there's the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. If we try them one by one, what justification would we have, and what would be the consequences?"

These words silenced all the stars. This involved hundreds of factions, and the others were not fools. They would not wait for you to kill them. They needed a standard and a reason.

Originally, the name 'Taiyi' could not be revealed, but now there are too many reactions related to it. Today, they judged Valhalla, but will they judge us tomorrow because of a memory?

"Don't act rashly, as this can easily lead to a chain reaction."
