I am a reincarnation player.

Volume: The Path to Awakening

Chapter 1 Taichi's Legacy

Do it, and do it to the end.

Yuki had many guesses and chose different scenarios based on the enemy's response.

Gradually going deeper, it becomes difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction, or decisively giving up. Each script leads to a different direction, but with Aizen's "cooperation", the plot suddenly deepens.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad, because every script has a follow-up and is under control.

"This time I can put all my energy into this. Even hesitation would be suicide."

Yuki was standing in the living room. Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya, the master and servant, had already returned. They were looking at him blankly while breathing a sigh of relief.

The briefest summary has already been made, and like Aizen, it focuses on strategic significance.

"So, we chose the fastest scenario?" Hayasaka Ai tilted her head, roughly understanding the current situation. "The advantage is that we don't have to lose the reincarnation props, and we don't have to continue to optimize the reincarnation game?"

"Well, the downside is that it was rushed. In other scenarios, I was planning to have everyone reach Epic IV and challenge them fairly. Unfortunately, the enemy is too smart and has already found my weakness." Yuki shrugged. This can be considered a two-way rush.

Kaguya pursed her lips, a little confused about this relaxed-looking man. He also knew that it was too hasty. I still want to do two more copies to improve my strength.

"Don't overthink it. Once you strike with one sword, you'll cut off any room for maneuver. Even if the Samsara Game reacts slowly, it will soon start a war."

"Can we delay a little longer? T-this isn't ready."

"The Briar Rose might be able to hide, but they can't in Valhalla. And then, I, a lone commander, will lose even more." Yuuki had anticipated this situation and was mentally prepared. "No one is prepared, so that's fair."

This is an advantage. On someone else's territory, who dares to compete with the Samsara Game in terms of preparation?

Looking at the two anxious people, Yuki was also unsure, but this was already the plan with the highest success rate.

"There's no time to regret. Let's get started. There's still a lot of preparation to be done."

After saying that, he turned and looked up at the starry sky. Hayasaka Ai moved her mouth but no sound came out.

After being together for so long, she knew this man too well. Once he made up his mind, there were only two options left:

Either die or win.

"Miss Kaguya, there's no time to rest. Hurry up."

"But apart from familiarizing ourselves with the skills, we can't help." Kaguya was a little confused. It sounded scary to be an enemy of the 'Reincarnation Game'.

Hayasaka Ai didn't know what to do, and she just laughed at Kaguya, making her whole body go numb.

"Don't worry, he will squeeze every penny out of you."

......

Regret counts time, hesitation counts time, and crying also counts time.

Once you make a decision, don't change it. Just focus on how to do things well. Even if you fail, wouldn't it be a more peaceful death?

Yuki is very simple-minded at times. He never worries about gains or losses. He can have countless guesses, but once he decides to embark on a certain path, he will keep going.

The mission summary would have to wait for Mobius's data, and then call Hiyori to analyze it together, and deduce the battle plan from the data. Of course, he would not just sit there and wait foolishly, so he could use this time to finish the rest of the things.

First, the harvest.

As the victor of the battle, Yuki not only obtained intelligence, but also gained tangible benefits.

"A large number of Chaos Props were packed up and taken away by Qianjie and the others. Ha, you guys still underestimated me. I also took into account the small profits from the changes in the situation at the border."

Yuki came to this broken starry sky with a satisfied smile. The Grand Inquisitors were all very smart and must have thought of the consequences of the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" battle.

The strategy of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys has definitely failed. The camps in the border area are more chaotic than before. In addition, the deaths of the Fire King and others have made it difficult for them to find help.

"But you didn't expect that I had a hidden trick up my sleeve. Normally, it's hard to get rid of all these Chaos Items, at least I don't have the time to slowly clean them up. But now it's different. Whenever there's unrest, humanity's innate sense of crisis always kicks in."

The reincarnation game is preparing, Yucheng is preparing, and every ordinary player is also preparing. There is no concept of food in the border area, so the only thing left is to stockpile guns.

It doesn’t matter if you think about it. This is an open conspiracy, an open conspiracy that cannot be stopped.

These items will be exchanged for points, which will be turned into specialization points or enhancement points to feed back to Yuuki. He will never ask for more and strictly abide by the rule of 'only killing and plundering are unquestionable'.

Yuuki didn't know the effect of this rule. There were also many players in the border area who were fattened by points. But since he saw the "firefly" in the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, he understood a little.

"Let's expose Valhalla to prevent the Saviors from being put under too much pressure. I also need to work harder on my end."

After placing an idle piece, Yuki began to take out the spoils he had hunted with his own hands. This time, the harvest was far less than the ether particles, but the quality was extremely high.

'The Blasphemous King' Arkad, 'Special Grade Cursed Spirit' Sukuna, 'Sword Saint' Ashina Isshin, the King of Flame.

The weakest ones here have the strength of epic II level. There is no chance to hunt down big guys like the King of Fire. They rarely do missions. You can't rush into the "End World" to seek death.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity." Yuki chose to accept it with a smile. He probably guessed that the judges were wrong and thought that he was regaining his original power by upgrading so quickly, so there was no need to be on guard.

But in reality, that bastard Taiyi didn't give me any substantial power, it was all taken away by me with my sword and gun.

Whenever Yuuki thought of this, he got angry. The value of Taichi's existence lies in solving the reincarnation game and preventing the game from directly destroying itself. Apart from that, the only benefit left is "nothingness".

"Hey, it's more reassuring to rely on your own abilities."

Looking at the four soul materials in front of him, there was no need to think too much, Yuki had already made arrangements.

Specialization points must be saved to improve physical fitness, and they have to wait until the 'Hall of Valor' to sell the stolen goods. Fortunately, some skills only require soul materials, which are more difficult to obtain.

"First is the Stand User. This is a strategic skill. Combined with Hayasaka's Fool's Mask, no one except a soul expert like the Cinder King can tell the difference."

Without overclocking mode, I couldn't complete the script even if I wrote all the Future Diary, so I invested the soul materials of Akkad and Sukuna.

【Stand User (LV.4)】

[Control two Stands simultaneously, controlling the entire plane; Overclocking Mode: Extreme control time of 2 hours, slightly reducing control accuracy, gaining super-plane control]

[Damage return reduced to 30%, memorize one skill]

Hiss, better than I thought.

The number of substitutes has not increased, but the time and accuracy of cross-dimensional control have been enhanced. In addition, the damage return has been weakened and the memory space has been reduced.

The former belongs to the strategic level, and the latter is the tactical level. The reason why Yuki rarely attacks at the same time with the stand is not only to weaken his own skill pool, but also because when the stand dies, the damage will be completely returned to himself, and there must be a recovery time. As for the memory space, as described, it can only affect skills.

Extraordinary skills, bloodline skills and special skills are all acceptable.

Just relying on this Stand User is enough to reach the top. If I'm not mistaken, subsequent upgrades will focus on damage reduction and skill memorization. If a monster with 100% damage reduction and the ability to memorize dozens of skills is truly created, a 'Standard flow' branch will be created among the 'Summoning Type' players.

"Too bad this skill has already reached its maximum. The materials required have doubled. Where can I find so many epic fat pigs for me to kill?"

It’s not that I can’t kill him, but that I don’t have the chance.

Furthermore, the Stand User has a flaw: any items and skills can be returned, but the reincarnation items cannot. If you use them to lure the enemy, you must be prepared for losses.

"The fundamental gap is too big to resort to trickery."

Yuuki shook his head regretfully. If he invested the remaining two more precious materials, it would indeed be possible to upgrade to LV5, but Yuuki already had a direction for how to use it.

Invest the soul material of Ashina Isshin to unlock the power of the six gods, the god of civilization.

[Fictional History: Master all recorded things, inspire authority to confuse the enemy's memory, and weaken the owner's sense of existence from the root]

A very strange authority, theoretically similar to Mai Sakurajima's characteristics, just like in 'And Then There Were None', the records of 'Chaos Furnace Fire' were completely wiped out, and only a few words were retained through oral narration.

That's hundreds of millions of people, hundreds of epic-level warriors, and a prop that serves as the core of the world is difficult to record even with punctuation.

"It can be used as a high-level illusion in combat, but strategically it can be used in conjunction with the Future Diary. Haha, you're messing with me in the reincarnation game, right?"

Yuuki smiled. Every time the reincarnation game reached a certain point, there would be trouble. Every time he survived, he would become stronger, just like this 'No One Survives' directly opened up a set of skill trees.

The Six Gods' Authority, the Furnace of Night, and the Reincarnation Items are the core of the core, followed by Moonlight Ghost Steps and Bloodline Skills, and the Hunter's Fire Gun and various skills are at the end.

The skill trees are branching out, there are not many of them, but each one has its own development direction, and together they make a hexagonal warrior.

I was reluctant to use [Flame Crown] because I was an Epic IV player. If it weren't for the group fight, I don't know how long it would have lasted. More importantly, its key words were -

[Soul], [Burning].

This keyword has a very good compatibility with me. If I didn't have enough specialization points, I would have used it to create abyss-level items.

"Let's wait for news from Ryougi Shiki. A level 10 constitution is a must, and I only have two specialization points right now. Fortunately, I'm not short of high-level items."

He pulled out the bizarre bronze sculpture, which was the real highlight.

[Reincarnation Props: Ghost and God Portraits]

True to its name, this is a sculpture with four heads and eight hands, not at all symmetrical, enough to drive people with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy. Its fingertips are burning with blue phosphorous, but the faces of the four heads are human.

If you concentrate, you can see thousands of expressions changing on this face, whether laughing, crying, silly, compassionate, or hideous, and you can even see a bit of Zen.

"Whether it's the Divine Torch or the Chaos Furnace Fire, they both represent the core value of a plane. It seems the same applies to the outposts?" Yuki rubbed his chin, noticing some pattern.

This is not difficult because the outposts or camps have their own patterns.

For example, Mechanical Believers, whether you are a realistic series like Gundam or a super power series like EVA, it is always related to machinery; another example is Hero Kingdom, which can never get rid of the values ​​of heroes and villains, such as Hunter, End of the World, and Aether Particles, which are more intuitive and pure.

What about the thorny rose? Is it just an everyday salted fish?

Yuki was in a daze for a moment, but he didn't waste time continuing to fantasize. To put it bluntly, the name of this camp was just randomly chosen by him, and it sounded impressive.

The key is what this thing does.

[Reincarnation Props: Ghost and God Portraits]

[One thought can make you a man, one thought can make you a devil. Looking at this person’s image can bring you various results.]

[Unlocked state: Creates countless mental images, amplifies desires, distorts wills, is related to the creature's mental resistance and willpower, is difficult to detect, and has an impact range of one plane.]

[Activated State: As the duration of the release increases and the number of people affected increases, the virtual image will transform into a physical entity, launching attacks from the soul and spirit levels. Note that the two states do not distinguish between friend and foe.]

[Note: Reincarnation props will resonate with each other and attract the reincarnation props of this plane (note: must be ownerless). Each reincarnation team may not have more than one reincarnation prop.]

Oh, it’s an illusion-type reincarnation prop.

Although the expression was a bit mysterious, Yuki understood it at a glance. Isn't this a mental nuclear bomb?

The spiritual or illusion field still belongs to the blank area of ​​Yuki, but he has experienced it in the copy, just like the authority of the sky of the witch god, which is a conceptual battle. This thing has no swords and swords, and people die in confusion.

Cutting a mountain with a sword, destroying a city with a light cannon, is actually no different from a person standing there in a daze and dying while thinking.

"It does fit the characteristics of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. There are humans, demons, and ghosts there, but no matter what their bloodline is, they all make choices based on their own will."

Some ghosts are transformed from humans, and some demons turn around and fight alongside humans. This is what is called a thought turns into a human, and a thought turns into a demon.

"Amplify desires, distort wills, and see where it can be used. Judging from the description, this thing has a very wide range of applications."

If this thing is thrown into a copy, even the city of Lianjie does not know what the result will be. Maybe the hero will become a demon, the demon will become a guardian, or they will simply stick to their original intentions with a firm will.

It’s better to have one than nothing. Can’t I choose one myself?

That’s all the harvest for now. Yuki stood in the starry sky, feeling that his head was about to touch an invisible barrier. This was the so-called epic limit.

The upward path is blocked by 'Taiyi', so it's no wonder that every epic player is so careful with their calculations, trying to pick the most powerful or best skill items. There is no 'reset point' setting in the reincarnation game. If the evaluation points are too low, you can't upgrade after reaching the top, and you can only drool at more powerful skills.

Items above level 6 cannot be transferred, to prevent you from cheating.

"Fortunately, all my skills are very useful. Even the lowest alchemy can come in handy. If I can improve my physical fitness to level 10, I will need at most one more abyss-level item to reach the top." Yuki muttered to himself. This was another reason why he sped up the pace. When he could no longer improve himself, he could only help his senior sister blow up the fish pond.

"But Taiyi still left me a cheat."

He raised the black knife. 'Total Annihilation' had never appeared on the player panel, nor should it have. When the limit was reached, it was the key to taking another step forward.

Snapped.

A punch came down, and it had been a long time since the last time, and the black rock layer covering the sword blade broke.

Jumie may not have power, but it represents the authority of the "Rose of Thorns". Yuki has never dared to unlock it for fear of being tracked by the game. After all, this thing must be self-sealed by "Taichi", otherwise how could it appear on its own initiative.

"But now, I need your strength."

.......

"The pig's head hasn't come out yet?"

Mai Sakurajima has returned, but she didn't see Yuuki. She was standing in front of the cupboard, gently slicing carrots.

"Well, Yuuki went in two days ago and hasn't come out since. There must be something important." Hayasaka Ai came over. None of them could enter the management office, and they were too lazy to worry.

It was agreed that time was urgent and that man would never go back on his word.

"Speaking of which, it's already this late, and you still have the mind to cut vegetables?" She stood on tiptoe, half of her head popped out from behind Mai, and saw the kitchen knife pause slightly.

"I want to keep this routine until the last moment, is that not okay?"
