Two Lives Cycle

The walls were broken and collapsed, and the ruined tables and chairs were piled up haphazardly on the ground, as if a large-scale riot had taken place here long ago. The entire hall was in a terrible state of disrepair.

--It resembles ruins.

In the darkness, the blurry figure of the Two Lives Cycle moved through the ruins like Specter.

Perhaps because he was living in a post-apocalyptic world, his alertness and combat experience far surpassed those of others.

The moment darkness suddenly descended, his figure vanished silently into the shadows.

Everyone else assumed he and Cloudfall Illusion came from the same world, but that wasn't actually the case.

He comes from another world, and his relationship with Cloudfall Illusion is nothing more than a common cooperative one.

In his world, Anomaly abound, and those beings have taken over the dominant position in the world.

The reason their world hasn't perished yet is due to a Special Mechanism called a "Sieve Machine" that is widespread in their world.

The world is divided into multiple regions by Strength called the [Sieve Machine], Anomaly cannot cross the regional restrictions to enter other regions.

With the number of Anomaly limited in this area, the humans of their world survived in a rather strange way.

Safe Zone, dangerous zones, and unknown zones—this is the general division of their world.

Survivors live in Safe Zone, providing necessary logistics and support. Player are responsible for exploring unknown areas to obtain firsthand data and information, as well as eliminating the Anomaly in dangerous areas and turning them into the next Safe Zone.

Like a giant Game, they pieced together the various elements, searching for resources, finding survivors, and Anomaly...

Players each established their own towns within their Shelter areas, fighting independently while engaging in trade and transportation, exchanging and acquiring resources, and everything gradually got on track.

Because of the existence of the [Sieve Machine] mechanism, they have no worries. Some optimists estimate that in a few generations at most, they will be able to reclaim their world.

Unfortunately, they were too naive.

They once thought that the [Sieve Machine] mechanism was a panacea, but reality gave them a resounding slap in the face.

At some point, the [Sieve Machine] mechanism that maintained the existence of this Special situation in their world began to break down. This was not an isolated case, but rather a widespread phenomenon.

Once the [Sieve Machine] mechanism ceases to exist, their world will face a cataclysmic destruction in the shortest possible time; it will be the end of the world.

Therefore, they need to collect a large amount of materials to repair the [Sieve Machine]. This is why the Two Lives Cycle chose to cooperate with Cloudfall Illusion, because the other party can provide them with the materials they need.

Besides all of these, there is a secret he has kept hidden for a long time in his heart through Two Lives Cycle.

Just like his ID [Two Lives Cycle], he is a Reincarnator.

As a Reincarnator from the future, no one knows the final outcome of this world better than him.

The sky shattered, countless cracks spreading across the heavens; the earth split open, countless stones flying upwards; and a multitude of strange beings pounced, tearing him and everyone around him to shreds...

That Nightmare scene still appears in his dreams, becoming his endless nightmare.

In his Previous Life, he witnessed the destruction of the world after the [Sieve Machine] was completely destroyed, and he himself died in that catastrophe. When he woke up, he had returned to the past... or rather, the present.

But even if he were given a second chance at life, was he confident he could prevent their world from being destroyed?

To be honest, he didn't know.

But no matter how slim the hope, one must always give it a try. The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage. Bearing such a heavy mission, having witnessed his loved ones die one by one, he had no reason to run away.

"An abandoned restaurant...?"

His figure disappeared into the darkness, gazing at the ruins around him, and the Two Lives Cycle silently pondered in their hearts.

In the short time he had just spent, he had roughly explored the ruins. This place should have been a magnificent high-end restaurant, but for some unknown reason, it had been reduced to the ruins he saw before him.

Besides, the place was shrouded in complete darkness, especially the darkness overhead.

He tried to lift his head and look upwards, but within seconds, he had to give up due to an overwhelming sense of Soul.

A premonition told him that if he didn't look away, something far worse than death awaited him.

--Above his head, there seemed to be an invisible behemoth.

He should have been in the kitchen of that strange restaurant, but for some inexplicable reason, he found himself here. The only thing he could think of at that moment was the restaurant-related assessment that Dawn Lord · Positive and Negative had put together.

Leaving aside the fact that the other party had unknowingly dragged them all into this mess, what exactly was the meaning of this assessment? And how could they possibly pass it?

If that so-called assessment was intended for all the Chef in the same kitchen, then where are everyone else besides myself?

He frowned slightly, Two Lives Cycle stood there silently pondering.

Just as he was deep in thought, a Black Shadow that had been lurking in the darkness suddenly pounced on him.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Two Lives Cycle shifted slightly to the side.

In the darkness, a cold, Blade Light seemed to appear.

A moment later, a bald head and a headless corpse fell to the ground.

One stroke and he was beheaded.

"..."

He lowered his Two Lives Cycle, looking at the corpse on the ground.

Judging from the corpse's appearance, it was still vaguely recognizable as a human, but its skin had turned pale blue, all its hair had disappeared, hands had become claws.

Even after being beheaded, the severed head's jaw continued to open and close, revealing two rows of sharp teeth like a hacksaw, and its eyes glowed with a pale blue light.

The other party is not dead, even if now only a head remains.

"It appears to be a hungry Monster transformed from a human..."

Suddenly frowning, the Two Lives Cycle turned around and looked behind them.

--In the darkness behind him, countless pale blue lights lit up.
