Background / History

Paradise first contacts Wang Changle while he is dying beneath a collapsed roof. It transfers his body, maintains his minimum survival status, detects his rare talent, and offers him a contract as a Hunter 1.

After Wang accepts, Paradise repairs his injuries, forcibly activates his talent, enables semi-dataization, and begins his exclusive Hunter trial in the Doomsday Roulette Derivative World 1. It defines its governing principle as: “Everything is an equivalent exchange” 1.

Completing the Monster Baby trial formally unlocks Wang Changle’s Hunter identity and activates Hunter missions for subsequent worlds 11. Paradise later assigns him the pursuit and elimination of Violator Contractor No. 534178 during the Under One Person world 20.

Operations

Contract System

Paradise offers dying candidates a contract: complete tasks across Derivative Planes, earn World Origin, and use that World Origin to solidify rewards 1.

• It claims omnipotence, stating that anything may be obtained for a sufficient price; however, it refuses Wang Changle’s request to revive the dead under his Hunter status 1.
• Contract formation is sealed through blood on a sheepskin scroll 1.
• It can restore severe injuries immediately after a contract is established 1.
• Hunter candidates who fail their exclusive trial lose the Hunter identity and become Contractors 1.

Derivative Worlds

Paradise deploys Hunters and Contractors into worlds designated as Derivative Worlds, where missions, World Origin, and difficulty ratings are assigned 1 20.

System element	Function
World Difficulty	Rates a world’s danger; Wang Changle’s first Hunter trial is designated Lv8 Nightmare, while Under One Person begins at Lv3~?? 1 20
World Origin	Earned through exploration, interaction, and missions; combined with mission difficulty at settlement to determine final rewards 1 20
Main Quest	Required world objective, such as killing the Monster Baby or joining an organization 1 20
Hunter Quest	Specialized missions issued to Hunters, including the pursuit of Violators 20 35
Hidden Quest	Optional or discovery-based missions; discovering Enkai’s coordinates triggers the hidden quest “Belonging” 26

Paradise may reorganize a world’s timeline before deployment. Entry into Under One Person consumes Space-Time Power and imposes a minimum E-rank overall evaluation requirement 20.

Hunter System

Hunters are Paradise operatives who travel between Derivative Worlds and may be assigned missions against Violators 1 11.

• Hunter deaths in Derivative Worlds are permanent 1.
• Hunters receive semi-dataized status displays for attributes, health, mana, equipment, and skill information 1.
• Semi-dataization is only an auxiliary combat function; catastrophic damage to vital organs remains fatal 1.
• Hunter missions can reward Honor Medals and special treasure chests upon eliminating designated targets 35.
• Hunter permissions govern access to facilities; the Skill Upgrade Hall becomes visible after Wang Changle’s permissions improve 50.

Recovery and Settlement

Paradise can repair a Hunter’s injuries in exchange for Paradise Coins 14 48.

• Wang Changle pays 900 Paradise Coins for recovery after returning from Doomsday Roulette 14.
• Recovery after the Under One Person settlement costs him 1,400 Paradise Coins 48.
• World settlement rewards may include Paradise Coins, attribute points, treasure chests, and access to Hunter-specific services 48.

Laws and Restrictions

Paradise enforces its regulations through warnings and forced execution.

• Equivalent exchange — Paradise’s declared fundamental law 1.
• Derivative World secrecy — Mentioning Paradise within a Derivative World is forbidden and punishable by forced execution 1 20.
• Real-world secrecy — Hunters may not disclose Paradise by any means in the real world; repeated violation results in forced execution 18.
• Real-world ability restriction — Hunters may use personal attributes and passive skills in reality, but active Paradise abilities are sealed 18.
• Equipment restriction — Most Paradise equipment and items are locked outside Paradise and restore upon the user’s return 18.
• Quest failure — Certain missions, including “Belonging,” carry forced execution as their failure condition 26.

Currency and Rewards

Paradise Coins

Paradise Coins are Cycle Paradise’s universal currency, usable in transactions with Paradise, Staff Members, and other Contractors 2.

• Paradise explicitly warns Hunters to use them cautiously, as they are both survival capital and a means of gaining power 2.
• Coins pay for recovery, facility access, attribute enhancement, skill upgrades, and marketplace goods 14 15 48 50.
• Paradise Coins can be deposited directly into a user’s Mark Space after a sale 17.

World Origin

World Origin measures a Hunter’s actions and influence within a Derivative World.

• It is gained through exploration, interaction, and completing objectives 1 20.
• It contributes to final settlement rewards alongside world and mission difficulty 1.
• Significant alterations to a world’s plot can yield major World Origin rewards; witnessing Wang Wei’s birth grants Wang Changle 5% 14.

Treasure Chests and Cards

Paradise distributes Treasure Chests, Bloody Treasure Chests, Scarlet Cards, trait cards, and equipment following kills or mission completion 2 11 35 37.

• Drop rewards may be random; clearing 84 zombies produces only three Treasure Chests 2.
• Defeating the Monster Baby grants a Treasure Chest, 2.5% World Origin, and a trait card 11.
• Killing Sanctuary-affiliated Contractors can produce Bloody Treasure Chests 35.
