The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"It has nothing to do with me."

Eriri bit her lower lip in embarrassment, quickly took two steps back, covered her chest, and complained:

"Oh no! The conditions for becoming my teammate are terrible!"

Makoto Kiyono nodded in agreement:

"I also feel a bit bad."

"..."

Eriri wanted to curse, but she swallowed the words back down.

The boy in front of her hadn't invited her to be his teammate, so he had no reason to swear at her.

However, if this guy wants me to call him "Dad"... I definitely won't agree to it easily!

"We can find teammates later." A faint light flashed in Kiyono Makoto's hand, and the Captain's Contract disappeared. He looked at Eriri, "What rewards are in your treasure chest?"

After becoming a formal reincarnator, the space backpack is unlocked, and you can store items in the backpack.

It's worth noting that items stored in the backpack must be products from the park; items from the real world cannot be stored in the backpack.

At first, Kiyono Makoto felt that the restrictions were too great, but after thinking about it again, he found it quite good.

If backpacks could store real-world items, the game's balance would be in jeopardy—for example, if a reincarnator is a member of the yakuza and stores a small armory in their backpack before entering a dungeon, other reincarnators might become mere laborers.

"Let me see……"

Eriri eagerly reached out her little hand and pressed it against the treasure chest.

boom.

The silver treasure chest vanished, and two silver rings fell out of thin air.

"There are two rings..."

Eriri curiously checked the attributes.

[Item: Ring of Spiritual Connection]

Grade: B

[Note: Wearing this ring grants +1 to your Spirit attribute and further increases Spirit regeneration speed]

[Active Skill: Guardian. When this ring is activated, you can instantly teleport to the side of another ring holder.]

[Skill Cooldown Time: 24 hours]

[Note: To activate the equipment skill, one must be held by both the male and female characters. Same-sex holders cannot activate the active skill.]

"What? The difference between this and the Captain's Contract is just too big!" Eriri puffed out her pink cheeks, clearly dissatisfied. "It's supposed to be a Silver Treasure Chest, and this is all it has?"

Eriri muttered a complaint under her breath as she looked up at Kiyono Makoto.

Two people are needed to activate the active skill, and it must be a man and a woman... So, should the other ring be given to that idiot Seiya?

No!

Eriri quickly rejected it.

If I offer it to him willingly, wouldn't it make it seem like I desperately want to team up with him?

Never do anything so shameful!

If... if this guy invites me, I might consider it...

Lost in thought, Eriri suddenly noticed Kiyono Makoto turning to look at her, and her pretty face flushed red as she quickly looked away.

Seino Makoto didn't notice Eriri's subtle movements and said softly:

"We can return to the real world now."

"Huh?"

Eriri's eyes suddenly brightened, and her voice was expectant:

How do I get back?

“I just spoke with the park,” Kiyono Makoto said softly. “We just need to silently think ‘return’ and confirm it in our minds, and we can return to the real world.”

"The novice trial is indeed just the beginning. From time to time, I will be summoned into the dungeon for periods ranging from seven days to a month."

After a pause, Kiyono Makoto calmly continued:

"There are many types and numbers of dungeons. Only when you form a team can the reincarnators in the same team enter the same dungeon. Otherwise, they will be placed in different dungeons and may even become enemies."

"Enemy?"

Eriri was startled.

This guy is a superhuman; if he becomes an enemy... it's just too dangerous.

On the other hand, if he becomes a teammate, this guy is super reassuring... but the contract terms are just too terrible, so I don't want to call him that!

Kiyono Makoto continued:

"In addition, you may encounter random dungeons in real life. Random dungeons are not time-limited, and if you are lucky, you may be able to enter a dungeon again tomorrow."

"Good luck?"

Eriri's eyes widened upon hearing this:

"If we get caught up in this dungeon tomorrow, our luck will be absolutely terrible!"

"Don't panic, random dungeons are low-probability events after all." Kiyono Makoto's tone was calm. "After becoming a formal reincarnator, our reincarnator panel will be unlocked. Points can be used to directly improve the four-dimensional attributes, or they can be used to make purchases in the shop... Simply put, points represent everything, and you can't move an inch without points."

"I understand." Eriri nodded subconsciously. "Points are like money in the real world; they can solve 99% of your problems."

“That’s right.” Kiyono Makoto agreed, then added, “Finally, there’s the Reincarnator Forum. We can log in to the forum directly using the Reincarnator Mark, and even trade with other players, but we can’t log in to the Reincarnator Forum while in the dungeon.”

"Hey, where is the mark?"

"On the back of the hand."

Eriri quickly looked down and noticed a ouroboros tattoo on the back of her hand, which stood out starkly against her fair skin.

"So ugly..." Eriri immediately frowned her delicate eyebrows. "This is so ugly, it can't be washed off, can it?"

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

You should be concerned about the content on the forum, not whether the tattoo is ugly or not!

“Tattoos can be hidden.” Kiyono Makoto pressed his brow speechlessly. “You just need to silently recite it in your mind.”

Eriri quickly tried it upon hearing this, silently chanting "hide" in her mind. She was relieved to find the tattoo on the back of her hand had disappeared.

"What...what's in the forum?"

“I don’t know, let’s go back and study it slowly.” Kiyono Makoto shook his head and looked seriously at the blonde girl in front of him. “We are newcomers now and lack information, so I suggest that we do not shop or add points for the time being. Let’s go to the forum to collect information first, and then we can make a decision.”

“Kiyono-kun is right.” Eriri crossed her arms and agreed. “Whether it’s ancient or modern times, intelligence is always extremely important.”

"One last thing," Kiyono Makoto said seriously, "I hope Eriri-san will not reveal her identity for the time being, not even to her family."

"Huh?"

“The fewer people who know about a secret, the better.” Kiyono Makoto’s expression turned serious. “Although Paradise is dangerous, it is also full of temptations. Once our identities are exposed, we might be captured and studied… Eriri-san, you don’t want to be locked in a basement, do you?”

Eriri: "...You meant the lab, not the basement!"

"I know~" After hesitating for two seconds, Eriri quickly nodded, "I won't tell anyone."

Eriri originally wanted to tell her mother, because in her heart her mother was super amazing and would definitely help keep the secret, but Kiyono Makoto's words also made sense.

It should be okay to keep the secret from Mom for now...

and many more.

Eriri suddenly thought of a possibility.

The amusement park seems to randomly select players... Is it possible for Mom to become a player in the amusement park?

Chapter 9 I Want to Be a Hexagonal War God

The air distorted slightly, and Makoto Kiyono and Eriri appeared out of thin air in the bookstore.

"...You're back?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly looked around, his tense body quietly relaxing.

Bright and warm lighting.

An April evening breeze carrying the faint scent of cherry blossoms.

And the neon-lit streets outside the window.

This clearly proves that the two have left the amusement park and returned to the real world.

"It's finally over, it feels like a dream..."

Eriri covered her chest with both hands. Her previous baseball cap had long been discarded in the dungeon. Her hair, now free, was draped loosely over her shoulders, and her bright blonde hair shone brightly under the lights.

Although she said it was a dream, Eriri knew very well that what had just happened was not a dream, and that she had indeed been caught up in an incredible supernatural event.

Eriri's gaze shifted slightly as she looked at the composed young man behind the cashier's counter and greeted him softly:

"Kiyono-kun, I'm going home now."

Having encountered a supernatural event that changed the course of her life, Eriri now only wants to go home as soon as possible. Even if she doesn't tell her mother the secret, she wants to go back to find solace.

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly: "I left the manga in the dungeon. Do you want me to get you another set?"

"Never!"

Eriri's pretty face flushed red, and she turned and left.

"I'm home!"

I've already read all those books in the copy, there's really no need to buy any more!

After Eriri left, the bookstore fell silent.

Kiyono Makoto went to the restroom, washed up briefly, and then calmly returned to the cashier's counter. He helped a customer pack a book cover, and then slowly communicated the Paradise Imprint in his mind.

hum.

A virtual screen quietly appeared before my eyes.

The forum interface is very simple, even giving off a shoddy feel, much like some sneaky and unethical forums. There are only two sections: a player communication area and a trading area.

Kiyono Makoto's mind stirred slightly, and he opened the chat area. There seemed to be no administrators there; he didn't see a single pinned post, and the posts were automatically sorted by publication time and popularity.

"A Veteran's Blood and Tears Experience Guide..."

His gaze fell on the most popular post, and a look of curiosity appeared on Kiyono Makoto's face:

"That was six months ago... So, the amusement park hasn't actually been around for very long?"

"Good news, there is a real chance to catch up with those veterans."

[Rule #1: Points are everything. All four attributes, item unlocking, skill upgrades, etc., require points, so complete as many of the park's tasks as possible.]

[Second point: Please note that the points required to improve the four main attributes will increase over time, so you should find a suitable direction for improvement rather than improving all attributes evenly.]

[Article 3: After entering the instance, the Paradise may assign players different identities and tasks. Be careful when forming a team, and watch out for backstabbing from other players. Unless it is a Paradise-certified team formed through special items, do not entrust your back to others.]

"Huh? Players in the same instance can actually betray each other?"

Sitting on the train home, Eriri was also secretly browsing the forum when she saw this message and her beautiful eyes widened in shock.

If the beginner trial dungeon isn't about cooperation, but about backstabbing each other... I probably won't see the sun rise tomorrow, right?

With this thought in mind, Eriri gently bit her pink lips.

"Only after becoming a certified teammate of the park can you entrust your back to someone else..."

Eriri couldn't help but think of the team-up item in Kiyono's hand.

"do not want!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Even if you enter a dungeon alone, don't use those awful names!"

Eriri quietly puffed out her pink cheeks and continued browsing the posts.
