In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

Anime, people in everyday Tokyo, but the reincarnation game author: Miaomiao Chong

Utsunomiya Asagiri, traveled through the world of souvenir manga and grew up to be a handsome man in Tokyo, a standard protagonist template. Both his parents died, and he was the only one registered in the household registration book.

Just when he thought he could live a peaceful daily life, he entered a reincarnation game similar to the main god space.

And the player who appeared in the same ward was a freshman who entered Shuchiin in the same year as him, named Yuuki Asuna?

Bad news: The reincarnation game is extremely dangerous and you can die if you are not careful.

Good news: The rewards for this game are very generous and Asagiri enjoys playing it.

A natural born reincarnation game player, the Demon King of Shuchiin, leads the strongest strategy team, and the unruly personality mask user codenamed Leader makes his grand appearance!

[Initial teammates: Yuuki Asuna (from Sword Art Online), Iwanaga Kotoko (from Fictional Reasoning), Kato Megumi (from Passerby Heroine)]

[Same as the previous book, a real harem without party disputes and stock speculation, an abstract and often straightforward male protagonist]

Volume One

001 Daily life of youth, but a reincarnation game

In the bedroom of a high-end apartment building in the Ginza business district of Tokyo, Kyushu, Sakura Autonomous Region.

A beautiful girl with a delicate and lovely face, fair skin, and long light brown hair casually draped down, wearing neat pajamas and having a bit of homely laziness, was frowning slightly and staring at the lines of text displayed on her mobile phone.

Congratulations, Yuuki Asuna, you have been selected to become a "player"

[You will enter the novice dungeon in five minutes, please be prepared]

"A replica? Is this... an advertisement for some third-rate game?"

Looking at the APP that appeared inexplicably in the phone, whose icon looked like an eye and gave people a weird feeling, a look of doubt and vigilance appeared on Yuuki Asuna's cute and delicate face.

The current time is 4:55 in the morning.

Five minutes ago, Yuuki Asuna, who was originally asleep, suddenly woke up. When she opened her mobile phone, she found a strange APP that came from nowhere, and it also displayed the above-mentioned strange and meaningless words.

Her first action, of course, was to try to delete the app, but she found that the app icon would reappear immediately after disappearing. No matter how she tried, she could not completely uninstall it.

"Is my phone...infected with a virus?"

Asuna Yuuki muttered to herself, looking at the strange eye pattern on the phone interface. The line of crimson font that looked like blood reflected in her eyes, and an ominous premonition came from her heart.

Judging from a rational point of view, Yuuki Asuna does not believe that there are any so-called supernatural phenomena in this world. Perhaps it is just that the mobile phone is infected with a virus and some Trojan program is installed remotely, which is why such a phenomenon occurs.

But what if it’s not?

Thinking of this, Yuuki Asuna changed her clothes as quickly as possible, and even ran to the living room and took the sharp fruit knife on the coffee table in her hand. After doing all this, the countdown displayed on the mobile phone screen had only sixty seconds left.

"Huh...huh..."

As the countdown numbers gradually jumped, Yuuki Asuna became more and more nervous, and even her right hand, which was holding the sharp fruit knife, began to tremble unconsciously.

The moment the number jumped to zero, a line of blood-red font suddenly appeared on the phone screen.

[“Player” Yuuki Asuna, now entering the dungeon. ]

The next second, a dark red mist emerged in Yuuki Asuna's vision. She tried hard to restrain herself and not scream in fright at this sudden change.

The thick fog squirmed and formed several lines of text.

[The location of this instance is: ??? Sanatorium]

[The duration of this instance is: one hour]

The player's mission objective for this time is: Escape from the sanatorium within the time limit.

[Tip: When the ward where the "player" is located is closed, it is a safe area that no "nurse" is allowed to enter]

When Yuuki Asuna finished reading the last sentence, before she had time to read it again, the thick dark red fog suddenly dissipated, and what appeared before her was a pale yellow wall covered with stains and even moss.

"here it is......"

Before Yuuki Asuna could react, she heard a voice that seemed to be male, with a hint of smile and ease.

"It seems like it really is something like the Lord God's Space. This is going to be interesting."

Yuuki Asuna was startled by the sudden sound and subconsciously clenched the fruit knife in her hand. At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had brought this weapon for self-defense out of caution. In this way...

The next second, the scene that appeared in front of Yuuki Asuna made her thoughts stop instantly. Her lips opened slightly, as if she was shocked.

In this room that looked like a hospital ward, there was not only her, but also another person, who should be the person who had just spoken.

What shocked and made Yuuki Asuna feel at a loss was not that there was another person in the same room with her, but the other person's dress.

The man was wearing a thick black coat that was only worn in the cold winter, with a long-sleeved black sweatshirt underneath, black trousers and sneakers. He had a black mask and sunglasses on his face, and his entire face was covered tightly.

What's even more bizarre is that the other person's clothes are bulging, as if something is stuffed inside, causing them to be stretched out like this.

And the most outrageous thing is...

"A power drill... and... a power saw?"

Seeing the electric drill in the right hand of the man in black and the chainsaw next to him that looked extremely intimidating, Yuuki Asuna was stunned.

"You...are you also a 'player'..."

The man in black heard her words and replied with a smile in his voice.

"Yes, nice to meet you. My name is Fang Shi Yangming, what's yours?"

"I..."

Yuuki Asuna originally wanted to answer, but when the words came to her lips, she paused, took a few steps back, clenched the fruit knife in her hand, and stared at the man in black with a vigilant look.

"Can I not answer?"

"You're quite alert, that's good."

The man in black nodded approvingly. Although there was a smile in his voice and he did not do anything aggressive for the time being, Yuuki Asuna did not dare to get close to him easily because of his strange attire and the intimidating chainsaw. His body was almost leaning against the yellow wall.

Is this person also a so-called "player" like me?

Asuna Yuuki looked down at the fruit knife in her hand, then looked at the electric drill in the other person's hand and the electric saw beside her, and a strong sense of disappointment emerged in her heart.

She was originally feeling lucky that she had brought self-defense weapons in advance, but she didn't expect that there would be such a master?

From the appearance of that strange APP to officially entering the copy, there was only ten minutes of preparation time.

Where on earth did this guy get a chainsaw and a drill?!

While Yuuki Asuna was thinking, the man in black had already taken out a mobile phone from his coat pocket and opened the strange APP with the eye icon.

[Player Name: Utsunomiya Asagiri]

002 Mental Hospital Ward

"If you have time to just sit there and do nothing, why not search this ward where the mentally ill are being held to see if you can find any clues that might help you clear the level?"

After hearing what Asagiri said, and seeing that she had walked to the window and seemed to be observing something, although Yuuki Asuna was still wary in her heart, she couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Fang Shi, how do you know this is a ward for mental patients?"

"Isn't this something that can be seen at a glance?"

Asagiri took two steps back and pointed to the window. Yuuki Asuna looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the window of this ward was only about 30 centimeters long and wide, and was equipped with a steel guardrail as thick as a thumb.

"The sign says this is a sanatorium, but looking at this window, it's obvious that this room is little more than a prison cell. And here..."

Having said that, Asagiri walked to the bedside, stretched out his hands and touched the iron guardrails on both sides, stroking them carefully for a while, and then spoke in a calm tone.

"This guardrail isn't the kind you'd find in ordinary wards to prevent patients from falling out of bed. It's the kind that can't be lowered. There's obvious wear and tear near the head and foot of the bed. This is the result of someone struggling with their hands and feet tied to the guardrails while lying on this bed."

"The edges of this sheet, and the traces of dried blood left behind, are just as I just said. They're evidence of someone struggling, causing their wrists and ankles to be bruised."

"Judging from the above clues, this is either a ward for mentally ill patients, particularly those who are so aggressive they can't even be untied when sleeping. Or, it's a crime scene committed by a sadist. However, a sadist wouldn't deliberately place a bed for the person they kidnapped to lie on. Furthermore, the app also states that this is an unknown sanatorium, so the former is more likely."

After hearing Asagiri's analysis, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but be a little surprised.

What surprised her was not that the other party was extremely intelligent or had sharp insight. After all, any normal person who carefully observed the room would be able to find the traces that the other party had just mentioned and draw the same conclusions. It was nothing big.

What really puzzled Yuuki Asuna was...

Isn't it a bit too fast for this mysterious man who calls himself "Fang Shi Yangming" to get into the state?

If you suddenly appear in a completely unfamiliar place, you will at least be confused for a while, and then take out your mobile phone to try to contact the outside world and call the police. This is the reaction that a normal person should have, right?

As a result, the other party just took out his mobile phone and took a look, as if to confirm something, and then started observing?

This person...

Are you mentally normal?

"Um... there seems to be something padding inside your clothes?"

Hearing Yuuki Asuna's cautious question, Asagiri, who was standing there, waved her hand and replied in a matter-of-fact calm tone.

"It's nothing, really. I just put magazines and books under my clothes, and rolled them up and wrapped them around my arms and legs with tape. After all, we're about to enter a dungeon, so of course we still have to take these basic precautions."

After hearing this, Yuuki Asuna didn't know what to say.

From the time the APP appears on the phone to the time you prepare to enter the copy, the time is only ten minutes, right?

Assuming that this "Fang Shi Yangming" is in the same situation as himself, that means that within ten minutes, the other party used magazines and books to protect himself, and then took an electric drill and an electric saw, and finally entered the copy?

This speed of action...isn't it too fast? No hesitation at all, no consideration of the possibility that the phone was infected with a virus or had a Trojan installed?

Yuuki Asuna's doubts are reasonable, but Asagiri's situation is different.

Utsunomiya Asagiri is sixteen years old now, the same age as Yuuki Asuna. According to the time in the real world, she should officially become a high school student today. She is a time traveler.

For him, even things like traveling to a completely different world could happen, the sudden appearance of the main god space, and being chosen to become a player were not that incredible.

"Instead of continuing to be curious about me, why not combine the information I just found and think about how to get out of this predicament."

After hearing Asagiri's words, Yuuki Asuna came back to her senses. Although she still didn't quite understand the current situation, she tried her best to calm down and began to think seriously.

The first thing she could be sure of was that the real name of the mysterious man who was in the same room with her was definitely not "Fang Shi Yangming". The reason was very simple. If the other party told her his real name so easily, then what was the point of wearing a mask and sunglasses to cover his face?

What's more, just now, when I chose not to say his name, the other party said, "You are quite vigilant, that's good."

Obviously, he was testing himself.

but.......

In this situation, no matter whether the mental state of this "Fang Shi Yangming" is normal or what kind of person he is, the most reasonable choice is obviously to cooperate with the other party and never become an enemy. After all, Yuuki Asuna doesn't think that she can defeat this man who is over 1.8 meters tall and holding an electric drill and an electric saw with just a fruit knife.

Thinking of this, Yuuki Asuna murmured while recalling the red fonts she saw before entering the copy.

"Escape within sixty minutes, or one hour... This is the 'player's' mission objective, but it doesn't specify the penalty for failure. Is there no penalty? Or is it that escaping this place within an hour is the only way to survive, so there's no penalty at all?"

Yuuki Asuna paused here, first looked at the window with steel guardrails, then looked at the chainsaw on the ground next to Asagiri, but finally shook her head.

"No, there's no way. Let's not even talk about whether a chainsaw can cut through that thick steel bar. Even if it can, given the size of the window, we can't climb out through it. The only way to escape is to open the door and leave this ward... But what exactly is a 'nurse'..."

Just when Yuuki Asuna was halfway through her speech, her peripheral vision inadvertently swept to the door of the ward.

This sight made the blood in her body seem to freeze, and the sudden fear even made her feel paralyzed.

There is a transparent observation window on the closed door of the ward, just like a normal hospital ward.

At this moment, behind the glass observation window, a hideous face with bloodstains was pressed against it.

Those bloodshot pupils just stared at her intently.
