[Hours left: 20
Merit points per day: 100
Merit points available: 0]
Varian checked the status window one more time before turning back to the thousands of floating screens in front.
He studied them with a scrutinizing gaze. Each screen represented an artificial world.
It had been three hours already but he still hadn't decided.
[Extra's POV: reincarnate into a classic novel where an author is reincarnated into his own novel.
A grade: 10,000
S grade: 100,000
SS grade: 1 Million
SSS grade: 10 Million]
Varian clicked his tongue.
The reward varied greatly across the grades. It meant the evaluation was going to be equally strict.
[You, A Legend: A classic movie of survival in the face of zombie hordes.
PS: No kingdom in Mors was harmed for this creation.]
"Who is he kidding?"
He had already seen people from Genesis here as well as folks from Genesis.
The creator of this place, <Fabricator>, was not someone who'd compromise with fake zombies. That bastard must've have kidnapped real zombies and vampires.
"Fuck
There's only two rules to follow.
[Rule 1
If you die there, well, you're dead.
PS: Unless you have a billion merit points, which can buy you a 'life'.]
[Rule 0
Impact, Impact, Impact
The more you impact the world, leading it to an ending that is not taken before, the more merit points you earn
Other than keeping you alive, the merit points can also be used to shop in the Paradise' store.
If you reach 10 billion points, you can leave Paradise.
Wohoo!]
"…"
Varian sighed deeply and turned to the giant who followed him to the town hall. "How much does it cost to leave Paradise?"
Ingrid answered without even thinking. "1 billion."
"For another life?"
"100 million. Why are you asking?"
"…Nothing." Varian covered his face and let out a chuckle.
As expected, Paradise's system was messing with him.
Was it because he was chased by the border patrol? Or…
[Well…] Logos coughed lightly. [The intelligent system that's used to run Paradise is built from a specialized set of Order rules.
As you may have already noticed, the creator of this place is interested in watching vastly different endings for the stories in the worlds he created.
But even if you change the participants, the number of outcomes for a story with a given setting are limited.
Say it's a world where dungeons have appeared.
You either support the humanity, grow up slowly and conquer all dungeons or die in the process.
Or you betray humanity, help the dungeon lords and conquer humanity or die in the process.
There isn't anything more a person could accomplish.
But if it's someone with a wild…destiny, they're likely to experience highly extreme events, either positive or negative or both, based on the individual.
And these people have the greatest chance of creating a new ending.
So, the Paradise's intelligence system is very sensitive to people who have chaotic…destinies.
The System had suppressed what it could, but it's impossible to erase everything.
Paradise should've noticed your specialty and wants to keep you here.]
The long, meticulous answer explained the situation but it did not raise Varian's mood.
It's not like he's depressed over the relevation. Heck, he was calm after ending up in this strange world.
His biggest regret so far was entering a restaurant and watching a snail-like creature eat some disgusting live worms.
Other than that, he's fine.
Not feeling great but neither depressed. It's just another obstacle for him to overcome.
"I will pick this." Varian pointed to a window and it expanded in front of him.
[Demon Lord vs Hero
The ageless story of good vs evil, chaotic demonkind vs orderly sentients, forces of destruction vs agents of creation.
In this world, you will transmigrate as one of the four 'summoned' to save the world.
You can proceed however you wish.
lightsΝοvel But please note that any attempt to inform the denizens that their world is fake or creation or based on a story would immediately result in your death.
PS: If you have 1 billion points, you can skip death and restart the world mission.]
"It's not an easy mission." Ingrid pointed out. "Only those who have been to a hundred worlds or more attempt it."
"Why?" Varian raised a brow.
"I know it only reads like a typical story but that's all just a cover.
The other three who get summoned with you behave differently every single time. They can appear loyal until the end before stabbing you in the back.
And beware the women of that world! They're all witches! I know more than a dozen who gave up their real lives to live in that world, it's like they've lost their minds!
Worst of all, it's a world where you have to train to grow stronger. Your powers at the start would be weaker than the Demon Lord's!"
Ingrid explained with a sincere expression. He genuinely believed Varian had something different from the normal people. And that's precisely why he didn't want him fall prematurely.
No matter how special he was, a newbie shouldn't jump into a nightmare quest from the start.
"I guess that explains this." Varian turned to the reward.
[A : 50,000
S: 500,000
SS: 5 Million
SSS: 50 Million]
"…Don't tell me you are thinking of something above S?" Ingrid asked.
When Varian smiled in response, the giant man shook his head in disbelief. "My brother in arms, I've watched more than ten million people in this Paradise so far.
No more than a hundred reached S grade. Only six SS.
SSS?
I haven't seen it nor have I heard of anyone achieving it.
And guess what?
Two people were responbile for the six SS evaluations. Four people had over seventy of the hundred S evaluations.
Speaking bluntly, my long stay here only saw 34 people reaching S grade.
And they are legendary men and women."
Varian clicked on the screen and it started to load.
[30%…50%…70%]
"You…" The giant man looked at Varian in disbelief.
"Ingrid."
"Yes?"
Varian looked at him with a strong smile. "Do you know there's one more rank above a legendary man?"
"What?"
"The Mythical Man."
