Whoever originally conceived Task Hall must have had a great sense of humor. The place is housed in a medieval-style tavern, complete with a variety of drinks, waiters, and a tavern keeper. The second floor features a mission posting board generated with holographic technology. After completing registration on the second floor, Ian can now access the lobby's missions through his Reincarnation Watch.
As he scrolled through the task list, he couldn't help but frown. He found that the low-level Reincarnators couldn't provide any good tasks at all. At their level, it was much faster and cheaper to seek answers or knowledge directly from the Samsara Hall. And the rewards for the tasks they could provide were too little, after all, they were weak and poor.
At the same time, senior Reincarnators did not trust Main God, and the rewards for the tasks they issued were quite generous. Unfortunately, Ian was unable to take on these tasks - not because of lack of ability. In fact, he can answer most questions in the field of magic or technology. However, these questions are beyond the scope of his current status.
He searched carefully among countless tasks and finally found two tasks that met his requirements. The first one was someone asked to decipher a code, and the reward was enough to cover his cost of purchasing Seamless Stretching Bag. Ian has accumulated rich experience in code-breaking in the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist".
The Alchemy engineer of that universe liked to use stupid and complicated passwords to hide their research results. So, he wrote an algorithm for Morgana to decode. According to her estimate, it would take two days, but there was more than enough time before the next mission started.
The second task Ian chose was a mathematical formula; to be precise, a language-based formula. He spent three hours cracking it and found that it was a piece of code, which was probably the password of a certain spacecraft.
He speculated that the mission issuer should be a low-level member who successfully captured a spaceship in a certain mission, and this code was the key to unlock it. However, they had little money, so they provided a [Type Talisman] as a reward.
What Luck meant to him was that this was exactly what Ian needed at the moment. So, after solving the equation and submitting it, he waited for an hour until it was confirmed and received the reward. The charm appeared in the world for less than a second before it was crushed.

Ian breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was being sent to a strange supernatural world and then dying of some kind of curse. His armor, in its current state, was not enough to deal with such things.
Of course, Ian will still buy Curse-Protection Doll despite the guaranteed sci-fi world. The next mission is not a single-player mission, and there is no rule against killing other participants. If one of his companions is a wizard or a cursed witch, he may suffer.
After buying what he needed, Ian finally returned to Earth with the armor in his bag. Samsara Hall is not restricted from using his power on Earth, but is restricted from using it in front of the public. If a Reincarnators exposes his power in front of a Legion person, he will be obliterated.
Ian looked around, he was standing at the place where he was killed. He could also see the dried blood on the original location of his body. He looked around and found no traces of residual energy, so he left. He is currently at Germany, but his main base of operations is south of Italy. He ordered the newly upgraded Morgana to remove his facial features from all surrounding surveillance cameras or satellite footage. A few hours later, Ian returned home.
His home is a simple two-bedroom house, but that's just the surface. The previous doppelgänger spent years building a data center in the basement, which even included its own optimized solar panels to power it.
"What a waste," Ian sighed. Most of the data center had been built, but since he basically worked alone, a lot of materials were wasted. So, he used Alchemy to disassemble it and reassemble it into a supercomputer connected to his battle armor. Ian then immediately began to investigate the cause of his death.
By purchasing intelligence on the dark web and using hidden Trojans that his doppelgangers had planted in numerous government agencies around the world, Ian discovered the cause of his death. Information about supernatural humans is now a semi-open secret. Not only do these top countries know, they have established a secret organization to contact or deal with these individuals.
They attempt to arrest, study, and recruit these individuals. However, all these efforts are in vain as Reincarnators is essentially a pawn of the Samsara Hall. One of the rules of the Samsara Hall is that Reincarnators can enter their private rooms at any time as long as they are not fighting other Reincarnators. Therefore, when faced with threats from these government agencies, Reincarnators can easily escape. This also means that the only way to deal with them is to hire another Reincarnators to kill or capture the same kind.
Ian joined a hidden Reincarnators chat group and learned that they have their own unspoken rules. Although they don't care much - and even despise those who work for the government, they are strictly prohibited from assisting these agencies in arresting their own kind. If someone is found to have violated this rule, they will be hunted down by others.
The presence of supernatural humans has subtly changed the global political landscape. No government - least of all a Group of Seven member - would allow their power or control over the world to be diminished. That's how Ian·Bones got involved. Over the past year or two, these digital agencies have been hunting him down as he became the key. They don't just want his brilliant brain; they want to use his research to create super soldiers capable of taking on these supernatural humans.
However, the Reincarnatorss who now have the world in their hands will never allow these countries to create any form of "balancer." There are also patriots among the Reincarnatorss who have close ties with their own governments. According to the rules of reincarnation, as long as someone reaches the rank of colonel (i. e. promotion mission No. Tier 5) and purchases [Truth Science Pass] worth 500,000 points, they can bring certain advanced technologies back to Earth.
However, there is a special group among Reincarnators who has been assassinating all these patriots. After they learned about Ian, they immediately hired a shadow assassin named Tier 3 to track and kill him. "This looks like a prelude to a bigger storm," Ian commented. If it weren't for the restrictions of the main hall, Reincarnators would have conquered the earth long ago.
This may sound a bit exaggerated, after all, countries still possess nuclear weapons, but it is the fact. The rules stipulate that only Reincarnators No. Tier 3 and below can appear on the earth.
Beyond this level, Reincarnators must seal his power before he can return home. The Tier 6 is not allowed to appear on the earth at all, even in a sealed state, and can only send clones or projections. This is why most Reincarnators of the Tier 6 and above stay in the hall, other worlds, or occupy planets in Milky Way Galaxy.
Ian thinks about the future. The personality he has created for himself is that of a man who wants to change the world, but the rules of reincarnation impose significant restrictions on his actions. 'I could try to stick to my dream, or pretend to have changed after entering the hall. I became selfish and only wanted to use my wisdom for my own benefit.'
This is the best strategy. Purple-robed Daoist seems hell-bent on improving his country, and if someone like Ian suddenly appeared and made the world or other countries a better place, he would most likely be secretly eliminated before he could grow up.
'However, I will have to face off against Purple-robed Daoist sooner or later, so I can't completely abandon this aspect of my character,' he thought to himself. He had a plan to find out Purple-robed Daoist's identity, but acting extremely selfish and antisocial was not the best way to ensure the success of the plan.
After formulating a plan, Ian decided to track down the assassin who killed him. Even if that person helped him enter reincarnation in disguise, he couldn't swallow this breath. Unfortunately, until his mission came, he still had no clue. So, he focused his attention on his second mission.
