Soldiers (Happy New Year)

The Conscription Ritual has been completed, Flesh Forging is finished, and Individual Information has been updated.

<Luo Di>

"Hell Rank": Ordinary Spine Hunter*

The fully developed body and spine are perfectly matched, and the spine's growth limit has been unlocked, allowing it to grow towards the next stage. When growth reaches its limit, you need to find the [Gate of Demon Ascension].

*A 'gate' that allows Hell Creature to undergo a complete metamorphosis.

"Spine Type & Quality": Metal Chainsaw, S grade*.

*The quality of the spine is assessed based on factors such as energy density, transmission efficiency, hardness and toughness, Spinal Opening Effect, and growth potential, and is divided into five grades: D, C, B, A, and S.

Your spine has reached the highest S-rank. However, it's important to note that your current quality does not guarantee your future development. Embracing war and seeking the Gate of Demon Ascension are the keys to your growth.

"War Stance": Slaughter

"Physical condition": Fully developed*

The entire casting process went very smoothly, and the factory gave it an "Excellent" rating. Your soldier status has been registered, and your personal image has been entered into the Nest Archive. Recruitment Specialist will contact you shortly.

"Residence": Chaos Nest - Mid-Nest, Fourth Lumbar Vertebra, 5th Fifth Floor Re-shui Street 1901B *

*You have obtained long-term Residency Right in the Mid-Nest area. This house will be available for your use indefinitely without any rent. During non-consciousness projection, your physical body can be stored here.

*You are now a citizen of the hive, and your activity area is limited to the Mid-Nest (lumbar vertebrae) and Lower-Nest (coccyx). You are prohibited from traveling to the Upper-Nest (Thoracic Vertebra) and the Tower Apex (cervical vertebrae) without permission.

* The Recruitment Specialist will continue to be responsible for conveying general knowledge about Nest Life and subsequent service arrangements.

"Note": An unknown Outer-Realm Structure related to the pituitary gland was detected in the individual's Brain Structure.

Located in the Spine-bearer Headquarters, Luo Di can receive relevant information through his own spine, including his current status.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

The laughter was not because he had acquired a formal identity in the True Hell, nor because he had safely passed through the Flesh Forging.

But he was finally able to sleep, and the tension deep inside him completely dissipated.

With his inner conflict resolved, he now needs to focus on the present and strive for higher levels.

Since he can use the Corner System to gain a foothold and advantage in the True Hell, he can also use the Hell System to explore the corners.

"I need to grow faster and strive to reach the next level of the spine before heading to the corner, to touch the so-called [Gate of Demon Ascension]."

Of course, I can't rush things. First, I need to adapt to life here. Judging by the way the Spine Warriors are, I'll probably be drafted into battle very soon.

Luo Di subconsciously started looking for a toothbrush on the sink.

But there were no toothbrushes here, only a strange glass bottle containing long, thin, brown live worms.

The back of the bottle is written in Hell Script: "Dental Cleaning Worms"

How to use: Place a certain number of tooth worms into your mouth according to the size of your mouth. They will quickly eat the residue between your teeth and grow completely in the process, becoming your appetizing breakfast or bedtime snack.

Luo Di tried putting a tooth worm into his mouth. The slender worm, which was not very active at first, became active once it entered the oral cavity.

Unfortunately, Luo Di hasn't eaten anything since he arrived in the True Hell; his mouth is completely clean.

The tooth worm, which had been moving at high speed, quickly starved to death in its mouth and was spat out into the pool by Luo Di.

"It doesn't feel very good to use, a toothbrush is better."

Out of curiosity, Luo Di looked at the toilet next to him. Although he really wanted to try it, his body didn't have any extra waste to expel.

Thinking of this, a feeling of hunger quickly overwhelmed him, and he hurriedly began searching the house.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to eat in the house, not even a bottle of water. However, Luo Di didn't feel thirsty, just very hungry.

Just as he was about to go out to find food.

Knock knock knock~ There was a knock on the door.

Luo Di roughly guessed who had come. If he were to send him to the Hell Legion now, that would be fine, as long as he could eat.

As for training or going to the battlefield, Luo Di didn't care; he just wanted to improve himself as quickly as possible. As long as he could eat his fill now, he could prepare for war.

Push open the door.

There was no red-skinned, horned the Devil standing outside the door as expected, advertising so-called recruitment slogans.

There wasn't even a single person outside the door.

Some are just a Small Spinal Column, about six segments long.

They fly through the air using wing-like Hyperplastic Tissue.

The topmost spine is hollow, and there seems to be some kind of nerve thread moving inside. You can even see chewing structures that resemble teeth.

A sharp sound came from inside.

"Respected Outer-Realm Apostle, Mr. Di, hello! I am the Recruitment Specialist, number #5179, specifically responsible for recruiting you. We may have a long time to spend together in the future."

May I come in and talk?

Knowing you might be hungry, I went downstairs and bought a hot pie.

The spine swayed its tail, revealing a fragrant takeout bag.

"Please come in."

Dining table inside the house.

Luo Di was taking a big bite of the 100°C pie, juices splattering everywhere, the aroma of meat filling the air. He didn't know what kind of creature the meat inside was, but it tasted better than any meat Luo Di had ever eaten.

As for the so-called recruitment officer, he stood upright on the opposite side of the table, his wings folded back.

"I knew you'd like it; this is the best-selling ' Fire Pig Pie ' downstairs."

After Luo Di finished eating all the pies the size of a basin, he also let out a hot, steaming burp.

"When will we set off to participate in the war?"

Having eaten his fill, Luo Di was ready for war and could set off at any moment.

Unexpectedly, the spine gently flapped one of its wings, as if signaling Luo Di not to panic, "Look at how anxious you are, but that makes sense~ It is precisely because you love war that you were chosen by the spine."

However, excellent soldiers are not meant to fill vacancies; recklessly going to the battlefield is pointless.

War is not a constant battle; Pre-war Preparation is also a very important part.

Didn't I just say that I'm Recruitment Specialist specifically for you, Guild Leader with you?

You are an apostle from elsewhere, knowing nothing about the True Hell, let alone the rules and living requirements of the Chaos Nest. I will guide you through a basic understanding of the Spinewalkers and a general overview of this Chaos Nest.

We will help you gradually adapt to life in hell on a spiritual level, integrate with this place, and truly become one of us.

We just need to get to the Recruitment Ground today, and we won't be directly involved in the war, but rather we will need to undergo a [Service Assessment].

This is used to further determine your War Positioning, to see which legion you are best suited to join, and to maximize your Spinebreaker potential.

"OK."

"If you don't have anything else to do right now, come downstairs with me. [Chaos Nest] is the largest city in the True Hell, and it should be very different from the world you live in."

"At least I'll take you to buy some clothes first. It'll seem a bit uncivilized to go completely naked, especially since you're now a full-fledged soldier."

Only after the other person said that did Luo Di realize that he was completely naked.

Because all their attention is focused on their new body and their craving for food, they forget about clothes.

"Wait a moment, I have some clothes, but I didn't bring them with me."

The spine, through the change in the wings, expressed doubt. "Bring it over?"

"You are Outer-Realm Apostle whose consciousness has been projected here. Inanimate objects like clothing cannot be projected; only something with consciousness can do that."

"Hold on."

After his Flesh Forging, Luo Di was able to clearly sense and control what is called "consciousness projection".

He decisively cut off the projection connection, and his mature Gray-haired Body immediately collapsed onto the dining table, his pupils unfocused.

Meanwhile, Luo Di's True Self Consciousness had returned to the Deep Cell in the Border City Prison.

P. S.: Happy New Year everyone, and Great Luck in the Year of the Snake! Ah Fei has returned to his Hometown and plans to rest for three days, taking Little Fatty on a good trip Hometown. I haven't been able to spend much time with her since I've been writing this book. Thank you all for your support.

See you on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, where Mr. Di's hellish journey will continue.
