A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

Ripples spread.

It's like a drop of ink falling into clear water.

Conversely~

After the key was dripped into the screen.

The ripples gradually made the screen transparent.

Jiang Lin saw it.

On the other end of the screen is a familiar bedroom.

Earth-themed bedroom.

Computer desk, computer, bed, wardrobe, giant bull mousepad on the computer desk, and mecha-style speakers next to the computer tower.

Everything here is exactly the same as his bedroom before he time-traveled!

And at the computer desk.

A figure wearing a hoodie is sitting with their back to you.

The person in the background was staring at the computer screen, which displayed the results screen of the text adventure game that Jiang Lin had once played.

[The protagonist dies, game over.]

The figure sighed and moved the mouse.

Close the game window.

Then.

He leaned back in his ergonomic chair, staring at the ceiling, and murmured, "If only I could do it all over again."

The moment those words were spoken.

Countless tiny specks of light suddenly appeared in the air of the bedroom.

Those points of light converged.

Condensation.

Ultimately, it forms a sparkling key.

It's exactly the same key that the director gave to Jiang Lin!

That is, it is exactly the same as the key that just disappeared!

Jiang Lin, off-screen.

I saw this scene.

His pupils suddenly contracted!

"This...this is???"

The figure standing in front of the computer desk seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

Turn around.

Jiang Lin finally saw the other person's face clearly.

It was a face exactly the same as the one he had before he transmigrated.

Handsome!

Awesome!

It makes you want to kiss it when you see it!

It captivated the hearts of countless girls.

The dream of 900 million girls!

Ok.

That's an exaggeration.

Those who know Brother Jiang well know that he's just average.

However, once his health is increased, he'll definitely still look cool.

But this one, he's always sitting in front of the computer.

Excessive late nights have resulted in heavy dark circles under the eyes.

Jiang Lin was certain that this was himself.

But in those eyes, there was a profound insight that Jiang Lin had never seen in him before!

That "Jiang Lin" saw the key floating in the air.

Reach out.

The key fell into my palm automatically.

then.

look up.

His gaze pierced through the screen, meeting Jiang Lin's eyes directly outside the screen, in the middle of the world's ocean.

"You've finally arrived."

The voice was calm, without any surprise.

"Did you know I was coming?"

Jiang Lin couldn't help but ask.

Actually, he now imagines himself more like the character from Ashes of Time.

Play something sophisticated, give a cold "hmm," and then say, "I'm here."

but!

They're playing it sophisticated.

Jiang Lin is completely dumbfounded!

He really doesn't know anything!

"I know all the possibilities." Jiang Lin on the screen stood up, holding the key, "because I am the guardian of this anchor point, or rather, the origin where all of Jiang Lin's possibilities converge."

"Huh? You mean we got killed in a game? And that's how this grand chapter began?"

"..."

Jiang Lin on the screen.

It seems they don't intend to pay attention to this idiotic question.

He turned and walked to the bedroom wall, inserting the key into a lock that appeared out of nowhere.

Spin!

The wall split open to the sides, revealing a passageway made of light.

"Come in."

Jiang Lin, who was at the origin, turned to the side and said, "Your story should also have a real ending."

at the same time.

The screen between the two of them disappeared at some point.

Jiang Lin, who was on the world's seas, did not take a step immediately.

His gaze fell on the key in the other person's hand.

The key did not disappear after being inserted into the lock; instead, it trembled slightly, and the light patterns flowing on its surface flickered in an eerie rhythm, like a heartbeat.

"The origin of all Jiang Lin?"

Jiang Lin repeated the question, his voice so low it was almost inaudible, "So, you were the original one? Or were you the one trapped by the anchor point? The first draft??"

Yuan Dian Jiang Lin did not answer, but his lips twitched slightly, like an unformed smile.

From the depths of the passage behind him came extremely faint rustling sounds, as if countless pages of a book were being turned at the same time, or like scattered footsteps approaching from afar.

"The answer lies at the end." Yuan Dian Jiang Lin finally spoke, his voice echoing in the empty bedroom, yet strangely, it didn't travel beyond the screen, even though the screen no longer existed. "But time is running out, can you feel it?"

Jiang Lin, who was on the world's oceans, did indeed feel it.

It's not through sound or sight, but a feeling that comes from instinct.

Or rather, fear.

The giant floating screens around him were gradually dimming, and the possible figures of Jiang Lin on the screens were turning their heads one by one, staring intently at his location.

Their eyes were no longer just empty or numb, but uniformly tinged with a kind of urgency.

Even hunger?

Even more bizarrely, they started slapping the screen.

At first, it was just a slight touch, but soon the tapping became dense and heavy, and ripples spread across the screen surface as if it might break at any moment.

Nima.

This scene!

If Jiang Lin didn't also possess extraordinary power...

He'd better pee a couple of drops right there to liven things up!

"What's wrong with them!"

Jianglin in the world's ocean.

This time I was truly drenched in sweat!

That time with the King of Fantasy doesn't count!

That time with the director doesn't count either!

After all, he wasn't so nervous that his toes gripped the ground on those two occasions.

This time, he deducted it.

"I'll wait for you to make your choice." That was it.

Origin Jiang Lin took a step back into the passage, half of his face disappearing into the shadows behind the light. "Enter the passage to face the truth where all possibilities converge, or stay here and become one of them, another cyclical fragment forever frozen in the possibilities."

Before the words were even finished, on the nearest screen...

The "Demon King Jiang Lin" who was sitting on the throne of bones suddenly stood up.

He raised his hand, his palm, covered in black armor, slammed heavily onto the inside of the screen, and cracks instantly spread from his palm! Immediately afterwards, the other "Jiang Lin" characters on the other screens made the same gesture!

To review and approve memorials.

They fled to the wilderness.

To give a speech.

Even the one sitting there drooling!

All the figures were simultaneously tapping on the screen!

Click...!

A clear cracking sound came from all directions.

Jiang Lin, on the world's ocean, suddenly turned his head and saw that the nearest screen was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and behind it, a pair of crazed eyes were staring straight through the cracks and locking onto him.

"They... figured it out?"

"No"

Yuan Dian Jiang Lin's voice suddenly became ethereal.

He retreated almost completely into the depths of the passage, leaving only his silhouette.

"They want you in because you..."
