Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The sky was as dark as ink, and large, cold raindrops fell from the heavens, crashing onto the sea and creating ripples and waves.

The continuous patter of rain enveloped the entire vast expanse of water.

Deep in the ocean, a deserted island floats alone on the vast sea.

On the soft sand, the figure of a white-haired girl lay quietly, without a sound or movement.

Her eyes were hollow, the eye sockets empty, and her eyeballs long since gone; her right shoulder was empty, with only a single arm remaining.

A gruesome and terrifying blood hole was clearly torn open in his chest, his clothes were tattered and torn, and his body was stained with dark red blood.

Covered in wounds, tattered clothes, and broken body, she resembled a doll utterly abandoned by the world, wretched and lonely.

The cold rain falling from the sky was like the heavens shedding silent tears for her.

The cold raindrops kept falling, hitting her pale cheeks and dripping into her empty, lifeless eye sockets.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl's fingertips twitched slightly, and color returned to her lifeless face.

She woke up.

Chu Ge slowly rose from the sand, looking around at the unfamiliar world with a blank expression, a layer of confusion gradually settling between his brows.

"Where...am I?"

A clear and ethereal voice gently rang out, like a breeze in a bamboo forest after the rain, carrying a hint of hoarseness and detachment.

The deserted island before them was not the same one they had fought a great battle on before.

The surroundings were clean and tidy, with no trace of a major battle.

Moreover, with hundreds of nuclear bombs detonated simultaneously, not to mention a small deserted island, even towering mountains would have been instantly leveled.

Could it be that after the nuclear explosion, I was swept away by the waves to another isolated island?

Being in the vast Pacific Ocean, this is the most likely scenario.

She tried hard to recall the last moments of the nuclear explosion, but her mind remained a blur.

The only remaining memory is the deafening explosion and the blinding white light that pierced the sun.

Immediately following, a violent shockwave violently blew her away, and she completely lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was already in this place.

It is likely that they were drifted by the tides and ended up on this deserted island.

Chu Ge suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and couldn't help but think of the two figures in his heart.

It's unknown whether Zhu Rong and Dark Shadow are alive or dead at this moment.

She searched along the coastline, exploring the entire deserted island from beginning to end, but still couldn't find a trace of the two.

Perhaps they were already reduced to ashes at the epicenter of the nuclear explosion, leaving not even a trace of their bones behind.

Or perhaps the two were just lucky and survived, washed ashore by the waves to a remote island in another sea.

Life and death are preordained, but destiny is determined by human actions.

Chu Ge gazed at the vast, misty sea and murmured to himself, "Zhu Rong, An Ying, your future lives, fortunes, and misfortunes will all depend on your own destiny."

She looked down at her broken body, a hint of self-mockery flashing in her eyes.

"I must be the first human being in history to survive the simultaneous detonation of hundreds of nuclear bombs."

"If I were to return to this world alive, it would be enough to be recorded in history."

"Even the title has been decided—'Humanity is no longer afraid of nuclear bombs.'"

At that time, the world will regard her as the supreme power and bestow upon her unparalleled glory.

Or will they still treat her as an outsider, arrest her, imprison her, and study her?

But then he thought, even a nuclear explosion couldn't harm him, so who in this world would dare to provoke him? It would only be courting death.

Having lived three lifetimes, witnessing the simultaneous explosion of hundreds of nuclear bombs is a truly unique experience.

Just then, a rumbling stomach broke the silence of the deserted island in the rain.

Chu Ge looked down at her empty stomach, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Even my heart has vanished, yet I still feel hunger... Is this a reminder that I am still human, and not a complete monster?"

She looked down at the gruesome bloody hole in her chest, her mind filled with confusion.

Now, in this mutilated state, how is he any different from a monster?

This is also why she was unwilling to leave the deserted island immediately.

There was nowhere to go, and no way to go back.

If this inhuman, ghostly appearance were to return to human society, it would only terrify those around them.

If Mom, Dad, and Brother see this, they will surely be filled with worry.

Those classmates who used to jokingly call her "White-haired Xiao Yan" will probably start calling her "White-haired Evil Ghost" in the blink of an eye.

However, this nickname isn't too bad.

Aside from Halloween night, haunted house NPCs, and comic convention crowds, in the ordinary world, no one can readily accept themselves as they are now.

So be it.

She decided to stay on this isolated island, practicing meditation at sunrise and seeking enlightenment at sunset.

Feeling hungry, they went out to sea to catch seafood to fill their stomachs;

When thirsty, one can easily obtain fresh water by distilling seawater with flames or using magic to freeze ice.

Alone, he devoted himself to rigorous training, and one day, he reached the pinnacle of martial arts, becoming unparalleled throughout the ages.

The jumble of thoughts came to an abrupt halt, replaced by an increasingly intense feeling of hunger.

If I don't eat soon, I'm afraid I'll faint from hunger.

Chu Ge leaped into the icy seawater.

In just a few minutes, she threw all kinds of seafood, including fish, shrimp, shellfish, crabs, and sea cucumbers, onto the beach.

She raised her hand and ignited a magical flame that would never be extinguished by the rain, slowly grilling the seafood.

With her current physical condition, she could eat raw seafood, or even ingest nuclear radiation without any problems.

But just as she was about to eat it raw, a voice inexplicably rang in her heart, constantly reminding her: Never forget that you were born a human being.

She looked down and gazed once more at the horrifying bloody hole in her chest.

She had no idea where the voice came from, but she still subconsciously followed her instincts.

She has always preferred the flavor of cooked food to raw food.

After eating and drinking her fill, she used magic to distill clear, fresh water to quench her thirst and rest.

With his basic needs met, Chu Ge turned and walked into the island's jungle to select suitable timber, intending to build a wooden house to settle down.

Living alone on a deserted island, in a wooden house in the trees, he sought enlightenment despite his physical disability.

These three items have always been the standard necessities for reclusive masters living in seclusion.

At this moment, all her wilderness survival experience from her second life as a mercenary came in handy.

The entire jungle was as familiar to her as her own living room; she selected and felled timber in one smooth motion.

Deep in the jungle, a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds strayed into her territory and, fearless of death, charged straight at her.

The next instant, the wild boar collapsed to the ground and fell silent.

Chu Ge glanced indifferently at the wild boar carcass, his eyes showing no emotion.

Tonight's late-night snack has been decided.

She stopped getting distracted and focused on the task at hand.

Finding wood, cutting timber, splicing, and scaffolding.

A fine and sturdy wooden house quickly took shape.

She specifically chose a location for the wooden house on the island's thickest and tallest ancient tree.

The ancient trees are seventy or eighty meters tall, vigorous and majestic, standing out in the entire forest.

The house is situated on a high vantage point with a wide view, offering shelter from floods and wild animals. A viewing platform has also been specially built outside, allowing residents to absorb the sunlight and starlight day and night, and providing a space for meditation and spiritual practice.

Looking at the wooden house she had built with her own hands, the usually indifferent girl felt a rare sense of pride.

Night quietly fell, plunging the entire island into thick darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Inside the wooden cabin, the warm yellow firelight flickered and danced, dispelling the chill and gloom of the rainy night.

"With such heavy rain, there will probably be no stars or moon tonight."

Chu Ge leaned against the corner of the wooden house, whispering softly as he slowly and methodically roasted a plump wild boar leg.

She wielded the magical flames with unparalleled skill, keeping the temperature under control and eliminating any worry about igniting the wooden house.

The sizzling sound of oil dripping from the meat filled the air as golden fat slowly dripped down the meat's texture, filling the wooden cabin with the rich aroma of roasted meat.

Once the meat was roasted until it was charred and flavorful, she tore off a piece of tender meat with alternating layers of fat and lean meat and put it in her mouth.

The rich, oily flavor explodes on the tongue, leaving a wild and fresh aroma lingering on the lips and teeth.

People often say that wild boar meat is coarse and not cost-effective, but in her opinion, it has a unique natural flavor that belongs to the mountains and forests.

After eating her fill, she extinguished the fire, sat cross-legged, and entered a meditative state.

Only now did she realize that the magic of this isolated island was exceptionally strong.

It even surpasses the level of magic in the Fourth World.

"Could there be a magical spring hidden on the island?" Chu Ge murmured to himself.

They searched the entire jungle during the day but never found a trace of it.

Or perhaps it's a hidden treasure, or perhaps this island is simply blessed by nature.

She slowly closed her eyes: "Tomorrow, we will re-enter the jungle to investigate further."

Inside the wooden house, silence fell instantly.

The only sounds on the entire isolated island were the pattering rain outside the window, intertwined with the continuous sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

After an unknown period of silence, the continuous cold rain suddenly stopped without warning and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Chu Ge slowly opened his eyes, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

The rain stopped so strangely and abruptly.

The next second, an even more terrifying and bizarre scene suddenly appeared.

At the distant horizon, a strange, scarlet light slowly broke through the darkness and emerged.

Chu Ge instantly became alert, immediately associating the Abyss Aberration with it.

But the red light did not approach the sea surface and turn into a deep abyss; instead, it slowly rose up and hung high in the night sky.

A blood-red moon hung silently in the dark sky, eerie and sinister, enveloping the entire world.

The crimson moonlight bathed Chu Ge in its glow, and he attempted to draw the moonlight into his body for cultivation, only to find that the scarlet moonlight had absolutely no effect on his cultivation.

Just then, a cold, emotionless, mechanical system voice resounded from the depths of the red moon, echoing throughout the world and reaching every corner of the earth.

"The Witch Game begins in ten minutes—"

"The name of this round of the game is 'The Cage of Desire'."

"This round's Night Keeper—the Witch of Desire."
