After the payment was completed, Tina did not see any sign of the villa. Although she was told to wait for an hour, even with the kind of architecture found in The Frozen Throne, wouldn't it still require a few liches to cast spells?
The fundamental law of the cycle of reincarnation: Do not doubt the Supreme God.
With this thought in mind, Tina stood there dumbfounded for an hour, holding the chestnut ball. An hour later, a terrifying gaping hole appeared in the void, nearly a hundred meters long and wide. What was truly horrifying was that the finished villa was thrown (crashed) directly down from the spatial rift.
The earth shook and dust billowed. Tina had to raise her arms to shield her eyes. After the smoke cleared, the giant rift in the void was gone, and a large villa with red bricks and white tiles stood in the open space in front of her.
...As someone who studied architecture, I don't understand it at all. Maybe I studied a fake architecture program (throwing bricks).
Tina opened the door with great skepticism, but was somewhat surprised by the result. The decor was simple and stylish, with all the necessary furniture and plumbing. The spotless patterned tiles reflected the shadows clearly. Stepping into the first floor of this four-bedroom, two-living-room villa, the air was filled with the pleasant scent of sandalwood.
Lying on the soft, high-quality leather sofa, the girl wanted to completely clear her mind. She longed for many things, yet dared not think about many things...
The time system in the City of Reincarnation is the same as in the real world, with 12-hour day and night cycles. Before she knew it, it was already seven o'clock at night. The girl didn't feel hungry; instead, she felt a little tired.
With her beautiful eyes gazing at the bright stars outside the window, which shone like fireflies, the girl, lost in thought, suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment about the cycle of reincarnation and about her own future. This bewilderment even brought her a touch of pain.
[Remaining lifespan: 9 years]
If one were to remain in the cycle of reincarnation, what difference would there be between 9 years and 18 years? At this moment, Tina's state of mind was surprisingly calm and peaceful.
The little hand resting on the edge of the sofa was suddenly gently nudged by something furry. It was a wingless chestnut ball that floated in the air like a ghost, its tiny paws holding a glass of chilled juice in front of Tina, looking at her pitifully.
The chestnut ball can't talk
Tina took the juice: "Hmm... Shall I give you a new name, Xiao Nan?"
Whether the magical Kuriboh understood or not, it blinked its pair of dark eyes at its owner.
"Then it's decided."
Tina took a sip of the juice. The sudden chill of the iced drink made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she handed the juice back to Chestnut Ball and said softly, "I'm not thirsty, you drink it."
Chestnut Ball doesn't refuse its owner; it took the juice with its little paws and drank it.
Seemingly sensing that its movements were out of sync with its owner's, it hovered in the air, circled once, and then its cute little spherical body sat down on the sofa next to the girl.
That appearance was truly indescribably comical.
Suddenly, it vibrated with a 'hum', and the girl raised her wrist to check the notification message with a blood-red border on the watch.

④ This 'Ladder Ranking' is currently a test version for the main god. Please report any bugs you find promptly; there are rewards for feedback!
Tina suddenly felt as if the cycle of reincarnation had been ruined by the main god.
In the hall of light and shadow before us, the information of the top 100 reincarnators on the Heavenly Ladder appears here for all to worship and admire, just like heroes engraved on stone tablets.
After going down the first ten people in the first row, all of them were unfamiliar names. Even those in the second and third rows, none of whom J had ever mentioned before... It seems I'll have to find out more about these people when I have time, Tina thought to herself.
Tina's gaze swept over the fourth row, and then suddenly stopped.
[NO43, Wang Gao died, win rate 75%, 680 points]
This is the high-quality replica of King Hassan who appeared in J Bar during the day, inheriting the bloodline of the Old Man of the Mountain. Coincidentally, his name is the same as the 'Noble Phantasm: Angel of Death'... King of Death.
Incredibly, Tina saw Wu Teng's name in the sixth row before she even saw J's.
[NO. 61, Wu Teng, win rate 56%, 601 points]
If losing a game results in a point deduction, how did someone manage to reach the 60s with a 56% win rate...? Is it really all about the number of games played and luck?
……
"Let's imagine that player Wu Teng randomly summoned a card—beautiful! It's Monster Resurrection! But there don't seem to be any monsters in the graveyard... Okay, player Wu Teng, I'm leaving the game."
"Or: Player Wu Teng summoned the card Dark Magician—no tribute? Then let's use skillful maneuvering as the tribute! Dark Magician, here we come—dark magic!...Alright, the opponent typed GG."
……
Immediately afterwards, Tina finally found J's name in the seventh row.
[NO72, J, win rate 80%, 570 points]
In fact, any reincarnator who has only undergone four or five worlds of enhancement and yet manages to enter the top 1000 can be considered a genius with exceptional potential. However, J, like Tina, comes from a Sealer plane with an incredibly high level of power. Therefore, upon arriving in the Reincarnation Capital, she already possesses the strength to rank among the top 100, comparable to powerful reincarnators who have experienced ten or even dozens of worlds.
[NO17880, Tina, win rate 0%, 0 points]
If J can get into the top 72 with an 80% win rate, Tina thought to herself, "I can easily get into the top 100 too, right?"
As for those ranked after J, Tina didn't bother to look at them, but there was one name that was so close to J's that Tina couldn't help but notice it.
Nata...
[NO.73, Nata, win rate 82%, 567 points]
At first, she didn't notice anything unusual. But after hesitating and looking at it twice, a memory involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and Tina's expression began to turn strange.
Because of the name Nata, like J and Tina, all three come from the same plane of existence, and Nata is also Tina's teammate.
...Could it just be a case of the same name?
[Ding-a-ling—A reincarnated being has come to visit.]
Who could it be at this hour? The most likely candidates are J or Wu Teng, whom Tina met when she first arrived.
but--
I'm so lazy, I really don't want to open the door...
The girl's petite body was curled up in the corner of the large sofa, covered with a warm plush blanket. Her calm demeanor revealed a vivid image of someone addicted to laziness.
"Chestnut... um, Xiao Nan, go open the door."
The chestnut ball flew off the sofa and floated to the door like a ghost. It held the drink with one paw and looked like it was struggling to free up its other short paw to open the door.
The girl glanced towards the door and saw that it wasn't J or Wu Teng, but a strange yet familiar boy with short blue hair, tight black armor, and a lean physique that didn't seem to have any intimidating power. However, once he got into battle, his body seemed as agile and deadly as a scythe-like praying mantis.
Tina looked to be only about 13 years old, while the boy standing at the door with a bewildered expression was only about 17 or 18 years old and looked rather immature.
The boy accidentally learned about the girl from the other reincarnators at the bar. They said that after beating up Uncle J, the two could still chat and laugh together, which made him extremely curious.
Based on their verbal descriptions, he became even more determined to ascertain the girl's identity. After learning that she had bought a house and settled down nearby, he searched all the way here.
But what the heck is this furry, spherical creature that opened the door?!
"Uh... wrong one." The boy looked at the chestnut ball and said stiffly, then turned to leave.
"Nata...?"
The words Tina uttered were soft and low, as if spoken only to herself. But the boy, who had already turned and left, had hearing as acute as low-frequency sound waves. His ears twitched, and the girl's indistinct whisper entered his ears with perfect clarity.
The boy, whom the girl called Nata, suddenly stopped, then turned back, stepped through the gate, and walked past the chestnut ball, heading straight into the villa.
Passing through the entryway and walking straight ahead to the living room, Nata found a girl who was calmly and languidly curled up in the corner of the sofa like a cat.
“I didn’t expect it to really be you… Evil Spirit, Tina.” Nata was taken aback at first, then flashed a charming smile.
“Wolf, Nata…” The girl’s voice was quiet, her red eyes calmly gazing at the boy’s dark blue eyes, which held a kind smile.
Nata is a hunter, wielding a pair of agile rope blades. He excels at close-quarters assassination and wide-area sweeping attacks, and is incredibly warlike and competitive by nature. He shows no courtesy or smile to anyone... except for the Red Wolf Squad members who share his fate.
So
"Return to the team, Tina."
Nata extended a hand wrapped in layers of white cloth, extending an invitation. He grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth, which, under the light, reflected a chilling white light like the fangs of a vicious wolf: "...Let's join forces and kill J!"
In another dimension, Tina and Nata are both teammates in the Red Wolf Squad, while J belongs to the Black Sheep Squad. They serve in different departments and initially have a relationship that is both adversarial and friendly.
Nata wanted to kill J, mainly to satisfy his wolf-like fighting desires. However, J had many helpers around him, so Nata approached Tina, wanting to rebuild Red Wolf.
"First, may I ask, did you and J... come to this cycle of reincarnation together?"
"It's strange, really. We happened to run into J during the mission that day, and in our eagerness to fight, we had a good, unrestrained brawl on the broken bridge. After that, the bridge collapsed, and J and I both fell into the sea..."
Tina quickly raised her hand to signal to stop: "I understand."
"However, even though I've come to this strange place, it's really liberating to be completely unrestrained, hehe..."
Nata had never been so happy. Licking his lips, he said, "Whether it's the Cycle World or the Heavenly Ladder, being able to enjoy the feeling of being immersed in battle every day is truly a wonderful place..."
“Indeed, I am free now,” Tina said meaningfully.
Suddenly, Kuriboh jumped onto the girl. The girl's delicate hands caressed Kuriboh, making it squint its eyes in comfort. Tina's gaze shifted slightly upwards, her eyes falling on Nata out of the corner of her eye, and she said:
"...Therefore, I regret to decline."
Nata, like an angry wolf cub, grinned, revealing sharp teeth, his face full of ferocity: "You want to be Red Wolf's traitor...?!"
"Wake up, Nata, the Red Wolf is no more."
As Tina spoke, she removed the chestnut ball, stood up, took a glass of grape juice from the table, poured it into a clean stemmed glass, and personally handed it to Nata. Looking into her eyes, she calmly said, "...J has also fallen into this world. Whether it's Red Wolf or Black Sheep, since we are in the same plane, shouldn't we unite?"
On Nata's not-so-thick wrist, which took the cup, were broken black shackles—evidence of the time they had bound him like a mad wolf. His past, filled with blood and slaughter, had forged Nata's arrogance, making him as unruly as a wolf king.
Nata did not refuse, but instead, with the elegance of a nobleman, he picked up the wine glass and gulped down the bright red grape juice without spilling a drop.
"Since you refuse to return to the team, then don't interfere in J's affairs... I don't want to hurt you."
