Reincarnation Paradise

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses seemed gentle, but in reality, he was the most aggressive. As soon as the game started, he wanted to eliminate the gloomy man. It was common for even combat-type contractors to be this aggressive. His strategy was to eliminate all possible competitors, from the weakest to the strongest, so he ranked second in threat.

Third on the list was the cat girl. She rarely took the lead, mostly agreeing with others. People like her tended to survive the longest. She wouldn't show her claws until a critical moment, and when she did, she could be just as dangerous as Mr. Pi.

Fourth was the gloomy man. He always had the expression of someone who was owed a significant debt. This might be due to a recent betrayal that deeply hurt him, causing him to distrust and even antagonise others instinctively.

Lastly, there was the detective girl. She whispered to the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, seemingly reaching some sort of agreement. From the looks she received from others, it was clear they viewed her as already marked for death. Could a pure supporter dare to participate in the Devil's Castle game? It was possible, but the chances were less than 20%.

Not just anyone could join the Devil's Castle game. Su Xiao wasn't sure how others learned about the game, but for him, he had first participated in the war world, then his stamina reached 80 points, and he broke through his physical limits in the real world.

Surviving the war world meant most contractors were elites. Reaching 80 points in a single attribute wasn't easy, and breaking through physical limits was even more complex. Su Xiao nearly lost his life during the process.

After these rigorous screenings, contractors could learn about Alice's Devil's Castle game and pay 200,000 Paradise Coins + 15 Soul Crystals to buy an invitation.

After such filtering, could those entering the Devil's Castle be weak? Certainly not. The survival abilities of the National Football Team trio spoke for themselves. As for the other five, none of them was likely weaklings; they each had their specialities.

Mr. Pi, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, the cat girl, the gloomy man, and the detective girl were all likely quite formidable.

Click.

The sound of the trigger being pulled interrupted Su Xiao's thoughts. The Fate Dominator had been passed to the cat girl, who pulled the trigger and got an empty chamber. She couldn't help but glance at Su Xiao as she received a reward from the wolf butler. Judging by her smile, it was generous.

Click, click...

The metal round table continued to spin. Eventually, it stopped in front of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses. His perpetual smile faded.

"Good luck, Brother Walsh," the detective girl cheered with a small fist pump. The man with the glasses forced a smile.

Going through the same process, the man picked up the Fate Dominator, aimed at his head, and pulled the trigger after a flicker of dark green light enveloped him.

Click.

His body trembled, his glasses slipping slightly down his nose—another empty chamber. Cold sweat soaked through his white shirt. He smiled politely, but his eyes were ice cold.

The wolf butler handed him a reward. Adjusting his glasses, he said, "It's only natural to have a physical reaction when facing such terror, no matter how many times you've experienced it."

The man put down the revolver reluctantly, seemingly aware of the weapon's attributes.

Only Mr. Pi, the detective girl, and the gloomy man remained.

Before the round table could start spinning, Mr. Pi stood up, picked up the revolver, and asked, "May I?"

"Yes."

Click.

Without a hint of hesitation, he pulled the trigger. However, Su Xiao sensed an invisible energy around Mr Pi's temple, providing strong defence. This reminded Su Xiao of a power system, possibly Armament Haki, though Mr. Pi hadn't hardened it.

This was only a guess. In Reincarnation Paradise, where miracles happened, a third-tier contractor with enough luck and resources could learn Armament Haki, though whether they could master it was another question.

Mr Pi completed this round of the game without stopping his chewing motions.

"Nice hand feel," he commented.

Sipping juice to ease her tension, the detective girl spat it out. "Nice... hand feel," she repeated, now wary of Mr. Pi.

Reincarnation Paradise was full of lunatics. Mr. Pi's spirit seemed normal, but his indifference to life and death was genuine. He wasn't afraid to die.

Now, only the detective girl and the gloomy man remained. They exchanged glances but remained silent.

Click, click...

The round table spun, the sound like a death knell. Who would die today was unknown.

Click.

The table stopped in front of the detective girl.

"NO~" She tilted her head back. The wolf butler appeared behind her. If she didn't pull the trigger within five minutes, he would, and that would be certain death.

"If I give up, I'll have to use the 'O-type injector.' I'll be a weakling forever. No, I must try," she muttered, her hands trembling. After hesitating for several seconds, she aimed at her head.

"Yamete!"

She shouted and pulled the trigger.

Click.

An empty chamber. She curled up, eyes shut tight. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes.

"Looks like... I made it," she muttered, slumping in her chair. Sweat dripped from her chin as the man with the glasses handed her a tissue, the perfect gentleman.

Eight of the nine had completed the game, leaving only the gloomy man. The other eight almost simultaneously looked at Su Xiao. Only Su Xiao had fired out of the eight shots, making them question his luck.

This time, the round table didn't need to spin. The gloomy man stood, picked up the Fate Dominator, and aimed at his head. His finger trembled, facing an eighth chance of "stepping on a landmine."

"My fate is mine!" he shouted, activating a defensive skill and pulling the trigger.

Bang! A sharp gunshot echoed. A long bullet etched with golden lines fired, shattering his head. His defences were useless against the Fate Dominator.

Blood and brain matter splattered, and the detective girl got the worst of it, her face covered. The man's headless body collapsed.

Thud.
