I am a reincarnation player.

Having said that, many players who have spent a long time in the border area also want to escape, but there is no way, this damn place is too dangerous, and there is no hope of completing the game.

Even the legendary Taiyi could not reach the end. The lonely strong man reached the peak, with empty space around him and no companions to follow him. Looking forward, there are one powerful enemy after another, one challenge after another.

"Aside from the deeply masochistic and overbearingly ambitious, I'm afraid no one wants to stay here. As for players like Ryougi Shiki, their desire to return is even stronger than ours."

Yuki stood in front of the mirror and let the senior student tidy up his clothes. The guests had arrived, and meeting the bigwigs from various camps would naturally not be as casual as before. Of course, it was far from formal.

He looked at the young man in the glasses. He was wearing dark casual pants, a white shirt and a gray windbreaker. At first glance, he looked like a recent graduate.

"Is this really okay? You're not dressed formally at all. How about changing into something formal?" Sakurajima Mai babbled, looking a little nervous. "Why did you bring the meeting home, and you haven't even cleaned up yet?"

"Senior, I've long passed the stage of using outward appearance to create an air of prestige. You've all been pretending for so long, let's finally show some of our true colors." Yuki seemed very calm. He had been a hero in 'And Then There Were None' and a survivor in 'Bloodthirsty Red Moon', and he was tired of acting over and over again, so at the end, he might as well just be casual.

Create a starry sky like the Judgment Realm? Or a grand palace? Epic players have seen all sorts of spectacular scenes, so why waste time on these? Making it more realistic will actually win the favor of people like Alicia.

"But......"

"I've made up my mind to return. Could it be that I still miss the power this strength brings?" Yuki held her delicate hand, gently rubbing her fair skin. "I've been thinking a lot lately. Perhaps some things changed the moment I met you. Just like I still don't understand why I brought two burdens with me."

"Who is the burden!" Sakurajima Mai was suddenly unhappy, but she held Yuki's hand instead, her purple eyes flashing with light.

She understood that this pig-head's will was unshakable. The most difficult thing in the world was never to climb to the top, but to let go, to let go of the pleasure of killing, and to let go of the supreme power to kill millions of people with just a thought.

So he was unwilling to face the end with the superior 'Taichi'. He was just Sky Island Yuuki and could only be Sky Island Yuuki.

Being able to pick it up and put it down, that's the kind of pig head she likes.

"Go, convince them, and let's go home together." Mai gently pushed the man on the back, causing Yuki to stagger a few steps. He turned around and gave her a reassuring look.

Click.

The door lock clicked, and through the gap that opened, I could see that the small living room was full of people.

Ryougi Shiki, Artoria, Jeweled King and other Heroic Kings are all here.

Pink-haired Alicia propped up her chin, staring intently at the TV. Next to her sat a spiky-haired boy, none other than Sora from the "Gamer." This boy, who had once worked with Yuuki, was chatting with another pink-haired girl, Ikaros from the "Omnic."

Across from the coffee table, a girl wearing glasses leaned forward, took the black tea from Kaguya Shinomiya, and waved her hand to clear away the smoke exhaled by Johnny Silvershou. This was Makiba from the "Mechanical Believer"; next to her sat two ship girls, one was Taihou, and the other one Yuki had never seen before, but knew it was Egil.

The short Levi turned around when he heard the door open, and the strong man next to him with white hair and a scar on his eye instinctively tensed his muscles. He was Geralt, the Hunter King of the Hunters.

There was another group of players in the corner of the living room, representing the 'wanted criminals', and Yuki finally matched the title with the name.

The 'Ice Queen' turned out to be Esdeath, and the 'Dragon of Vengeance' was very strange. That person was wearing a maid uniform and had two horns on his head. Isn't this Thor?

What a gathering of heroes, oh no, a gathering of demons.

Even if we don't count the wanted criminals acting in their own name, the small living room is filled with top players from camps such as Valhalla, Classic of Mountains and Seas, War Orphans, Mechanical Believers, and Hunters. They are all long-term allies of Ryougi Shiki and are absolutely trustworthy.

Yuki has long been accustomed to a hodgepodge, but this is the first time that so many characters from different works have gathered together. Except for a small number of players who have friendships with Yuki, the rest are basically all epic strongmen, filling the small living room.

The door was completely open, and everyone's eyes were focused on it. They looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

The legendary 'Taiyi' took off all his disguises and appeared in person. Everyone had imagined the scene of meeting him.

It may be majestic, strange, cruel, or extremely oppressive, but no one expected that it would be so ordinary.

Isn't this just an ordinary apartment? Isn't this just a young student? Is this a deliberate attempt to create a contrast, making it difficult for people to grasp the truth? There's no such thing as mind-inducing abilities here, or is this illusion so strong that it's imperceptible and all we see is a shadow?

Many people began to think differently, like Geralt and Egil, who even cast doubtful glances at those around them. What kind of thing is this? I thought Taiyi was on the tenth floor, but he's actually on the first floor?

"Every time you travel back and forth between life and death, you have such a comfortable place to rest. I really envy you!" Alicia broke the silence, her bright face full of envy, and she squinted her eyes.

"Last time I saw Philen and Kaguya, I felt something was wrong. That wasn't like a concubine. So you like playing this kind of ordinary love game."

Isn't this an illusion?

Many people's expressions became even more surprised. The authority of the 'true self' can see through all illusions. Since Alicia said so, it proves that this is the lair of 'Taiyi' and it is not some psychological tactic.

But how is this possible? This is 'Taiyi'. Not only does it stand above the sky, it also lives deep in a magnificent palace, overlooking the human world. If you think about it carefully, you will find that this ordinariness is quite impressive.

He had seen all kinds of palaces. In some copies, there was a building bigger than a planet, and all tasks were carried out on the floors inside. However, this ordinariness actually highlighted the extraordinaryness of the owner. You have to know that the person serving tea and water was also an epic player.

You see, as long as I am strong enough, there will always be great scholars to debate for me.

Yuki winked at the senior student behind him. There was absolutely no need for him to do anything fancy to show off his status. Building a huge palace? That would seem too tacky.

"This is exactly why I'm looking to return," Yuki said calmly, walking into the living room. "At my level, I can do whatever's comfortable for me. I invite everyone to be my guest. Why bother with all that nonsense?"

"I like the real you. By the way, you are so lazy. This independent space is obviously infinite in area." Alicia is very suitable to be a supporting role. After she said this, everyone came back to their senses.

Looking out the window, there is a garden, and beyond the garden is the blue sea. This virtual reality technology is not high-end, but there is an infinite area beyond the sea.

This is terrifying. The more permissions one has, the greater the independent space the pioneer has. Needless to say, what this "infinity" means.

"And your TV, the content playing on it doesn't look like entertainment?" Kong pointed at the TV. He had already noticed something was wrong.

"Yeah, it's playing the 'homeland' signal."

Hiss, beyond the game settings!

There was a hint of awe in their surprised eyes. Not to mention seeing their hometown, even the timeline was in chaos. Did that mean that the flow of time in the Thorn Rose and the border area was the same?

This ordinary room suddenly became extraordinary. Even if a giant structure comparable to a planet was built, it would not be possible to surpass the game settings.

The sea is not deep, but its magic lies in the presence of dragons.

These secrets are the reason why Yucheng is not looked down upon. There is no need to create them carefully. Even if these big guys sit in a cesspool, they can still taste a hint of fragrance.

Yuuki took the coffee handed to him by Hayasaka Ai and walked through the crowd with a casual step and a gentle smile, as if it was a social gathering.

"I've worked with some of you before, and I'm meeting some of you for the first time. There's no need to introduce yourself, I know who you all are." Yuki leaned against the wall and took a sip of coffee. He was not good at speaking and simply didn't bother to beat around the bush.

"You are all carefully selected and absolutely trustworthy individuals, and you all have various demands. I believe you already know the course of the battle of 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade'."

Yuki had a very good attitude towards asking others to risk their lives and property, and he saw a group of people nodding their heads repeatedly.

That experiment was decisive. It was precisely because that camp had escaped from the reincarnation game that everyone dared to place their bets. It was impossible for the "Savior" and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to join forces to deceive people.

"That's exactly why we're here." Geralt took the cigar from Johnny Silverhand, and after an epic lungful, he blew out smoke rings. "Good trick. Let Miss Liang Yi organize everything upfront. Even if the Inquisitor notices it, the most they can trace back to Valhalla is to Valhalla. They won't know anything about you personally."

"Your Excellency the Hunter King, allow me to correct you. Even if the Judge knows the clues, there is still nothing he can do to me." Yuki replied with a smile, allowing everyone to come to their senses.

Yes, even if there is a traitor here and the information is leaked to the judge, what can be done? They are the only ones who will be in trouble. It is impossible to behead Taiyi.

If he doesn't activate resonance, the judge can't even get in, and at most he can target the people around him.

You know who the real mastermind is, but there's still nothing we can do about it.

"Of course, letting you all come here also shows my determination. The longer the time drags on, the greater the probability of failure. If I had chosen to escape, I would never have come to this point." Yuki used a calm tone to reassure people. In such a casual meeting, he had no intention of commanding the heroes.

We are all comrades with common interests, there is no need to rank us.

"What we care about is not determination, but promise." A deep male voice sounded. A tall man in red leaning against the wall said, "How can we guarantee that you won't betray us after we give you our full support?"

This is the issue that most players are most concerned about. They are afraid that Yuuki will turn against them after he has done his job. If he runs away, won’t the rest of the people be left to die?

Yuki turned his head and looked at the tall man with black hair and red clothes. No, to be exact, it was a vampire.

"Sir Akado, I can't guarantee that. At our level, it's not impossible to circumvent the contract."

"You mean, we can only choose to trust?" Akado grinned with a rather crazy smile.

"I trust Miss Alicia. If that's not enough, let me make it clearer." Yuki put down his coffee cup and straightened his back. "If you want to fulfill your long-cherished wish and escape from hell, I am the only way. That's why I asked Miss Liangyi to carefully select you."

"Are these two things related?"

"Yes, the Briar Rose is the site of the decisive battle. We must inflict heavy damage on the Judge here, but the Samsara Game will have a violent reaction. It will only take a while for Him to recover as the Judge. This window of opportunity is very short, and I don't want to keep fighting endlessly."

Yuki went straight to the point and made the overall strategy clear. He was not prepared to be a liberator, nor was he prepared to be the savior of freedom. Instead, he was very selfish.

"My goal is simply to get rid of this camp. I invited you all because of my success rate, and I'm sending you all away simply to repay the transaction."

"You mean, we just benefited from it?" Dafeng said resentfully.

"Yes, if I can do it myself, I won't inform anyone and won't be contaminated by unnecessary karma." Yukiro-sama was honest, facing the complicated gaze, and said indifferently: "There are no heroes in the reincarnation game, no selfless good guys. You get what you give."

There is no emotion, no magnanimity, everything is just business.

Everyone present was a seasoned warrior who had heard all sorts of boasting before. Such cold words made people believe it. If Yuki had come here to "liberate all oppressed players," many people would have probably backed out.

"What will you do after sending Thorn Rose away?" 'Ice Queen' Esdeath was quite interested. She liked this kind of absolutely rational man.

Yuki said nothing, but pointed at the picture on the TV. Everyone immediately understood why they had to meet in such an ordinary room.

It turns out that he was cheating.

Since Taichi is hanging on his head, there is nothing more to say. Everyone has already prepared themselves mentally and trusts the true authority of Alicia. Yuuki added the last bit of doubt.

"Anyone else wants to quit?" Ryougi Shiki, who had been silent all the time, raised her head. She was very satisfied with Yuki's response and there was no need for her to come forward to smooth things over.

This was the last chance, and they must not waver from now on. Alicia supported her chin and scanned the familiar faces.

"Everyone is determined, so let's do it."

Her words were more useful than any contracted item. Even the slightest hesitation would not escape her eyes. After hearing these words, Yuki breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a success. After winning over so many experts, I finally felt more confident.

Choosing a hasty decisive battle means that the players of Thorn Rose will not be able to play the leading role, but since they hold the only path to freedom, why should the players of Thorn Rose play the leading role?

"Ms. Mobius, please..."

"Wait." Alicia suddenly raised her hand, and seeing Yuki's serious look, she grinned, "Don't you think this small living room is too crowded? Let's go to the garden and talk."

Dozens of players filled the living room. Many people didn't even have a place to sit and could only lean against the wall. A high-class character like Akado couldn't just sit on a small stool.

"Okay, let's go to the garden." Yuki also felt that he couldn't be too casual, so he made a gesture of invitation.

Everyone immediately moved to the garden. It wasn't exactly magnificent, but at least there were chairs to sit on, tea or coffee to drink, and the sun to shine. It felt more like a spring gathering.

"Can't you, idiot, have a proper meeting room?"

Mebius stared at Yuuki with resentment. This was one of the most important reports in her life, but it ended up like this.

Some people were crossing their legs, some were sipping tea, some were chatting in low voices, and that fat lady with pink hair was actually sitting on a swing. Did you figure out what kind of occasion this was?

"Hey, you don't even have a screen."

"Let's skip the PPT process and just talk about the results." Yuki did it on purpose. If he really set up a conference room, believe it or not, Mobius would overwhelm everyone with all kinds of charts and data.

"Yeah, yeah, Mebius, every time you give me a report, I fall asleep. Just tell me the results directly." Alicia joined in, and asked Mana to push herself higher.

The process is the meaning of research. Does this damn place have some kind of lazy halo? Why are no one motivated?

Mebius gritted her teeth. All the tools were taken away directly. She couldn't just recite a bunch of data.

"Okay, I'll try to keep it as short as possible."

She put the materials taller than a person into the storage space, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone had sharp eyes. Although it was only a document of one or two thousand pages, in fact, each page was a chaos prop, enough to encrypt tens of thousands of words.

"First, the investigation into the remaining One Hundred Demons Night Parade players has been completed. The Inquisitors have covered up the situation, but there are too many of them. I arranged for surveillance in advance and confirmed that these people have become 'lost people' and are stranded in the border area."

This was an experimental project that had been arranged long ago. A group of evil ghost players were deliberately released, and by the time the judge wanted to cover up their tracks, it was too late.

"Lost Homelander? Isn't this the kind of player trapped in a dungeon?" Egil asked curiously, holding a cup of red tea.

Like the lost, the homeless have precise definitions, just like Wu Lei'an, whom Yuki met before, who was trapped in the copy for some reason and couldn't get out.

"If the outpost is your home and you can't return to your camp, then you're considered a lost people. Of course, you can choose a new name if you want."

"Let's call them the Lost Homelanders, but how do they stay at the border?" Sora raised his hand. He was always interested in setting questions. "Don't they charge points for staying at the border? No player can stay there for long. Once they run out of points, they'll be sent back."

"According to my research on over ten 'lost homelanders', their stay at the border area no longer requires a points system. You can consider this as an alternative mechanism for the reincarnation game."

Huh? The reincarnation game was already prepared?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This was obviously a hidden setting, a reserved escape route. Thinking about it carefully, since the purpose of the reincarnation game was to select warriors, resources would not be wasted in vain.

"So... they've turned a disaster into a blessing? The border is a great place. Legend has it it's a rest area for reincarnators. Does this count as enjoying the benefits of being a reincarnator in advance?"

"It can't be considered a blessing. Players are like fuel, willing to stay and continue to burn. There's no reason to give up on the reincarnation game."

"Ha, the reincarnation game is so gentle, giving players the right to choose anytime and anywhere."

"Stop talking nonsense! You're calling for our destruction, but overall this is good news. Some of the masochists in my camp can stay. I wish them good luck."

The players sitting in various places in the garden started discussing. These randomly placed benches were very suitable for chatting, and Yuki was happy about it. The people here were all experienced and could spark a lot of ideas. He could also collect some information by the way.

It is impossible to satisfy every player by carrying out activities based on factions. Even in the Thorn Rose, there are players who like the feeling of traveling between life and death. The differences in other factions will be even more serious.

"Good news! It's always difficult to deal with local players holding back. Since the Samsara game offers the option to stay, we can keep our distance." Yuuki spoke, pausing the discussion. He then nodded to Ryougi Shiki and said, "Please ask Valhalla to leak this news. It would be best if we could get some witnesses."

"Okay." Ryougi Shiki said quickly and efficiently. This operation was actually quite difficult.

The judge must hide the secret, otherwise he will lose the help of some players in vain. As for how to do it, it is not what Yuki cares about. Isn't this what he does to win over a group of people?

"Mebius, please tell us about the entire experiment and inform everyone of the results."
