Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

But now is an opportunity.

In this dream world, he can rewind his life after he dies.

If you want to kill death in reality, you have to get used to its cumulative death.

Ryan tentatively put a French fry into his mouth. At first, it didn't taste special, just very crispy. He swallowed it with a crunch, but less than half a second later, the effects kicked in. His vision went black, and countless twisted black runes surged from his stomach, climbing up his blood vessels.

"The fries are biting," Ryan cursed.

[Cumulative deaths: 10%, 30%, 50%...]

Once the Death Curse covers your entire body, the death accumulation bar will be full.

"one two three...."

Ryan counted silently in his mind, and when he counted to three, the incantation covered his heart, seeped out from his skin, and crossed his cheeks.

In that instant, the incantation completely covered Ryan's physical body.

[Cumulative Death Toll: 100%]

[Cumulative Death Toll: 101%]

But instead of physical death as Ryan had anticipated, the Death Curse did not end with his body; instead, it continued upwards, climbing up to Ryan's soul!

The dream can resurrect his physical body infinitely because this physical body was never his to begin with, but rather a fictional product of the dream.

Ryan's real body is still in the mortal world.

But the soul truly exists in the dream!

Once the soul dies, the person outside becomes a vegetable.

In just one second, the death toll reached 110%.

Without hesitation, Ryan pulled out a dagger and slit his own throat, cutting off his soul from the body corrupted by the death curse. The death of his body immediately triggered a death reversal, and only after the connection was severed was his soul barely preserved.

Ryan is dead.

In just three seconds, Ryan's life was taken. If he had committed suicide a second later, even his soul would have perished.

Ryan Lumin

【time left】

Five years and one day

After Ryan woke up, time moved forward another day.

This death was more painful than the three thousand deaths Ryan had experienced before. The previous deaths were only physical, but this one was mental. Ten percent of his soul was cursed by death.

Fortunately, any accumulated points that are not yet full will gradually decrease over time.

Ryan lay there for most of the day before he finally recovered.

This wasn't even the Witch of Death's doing; it was just a French fry she touched.

Being killed by French fries is a truly unique way to die, even in the diverse world of the Death Church.

He finally understood the enormous gap between himself and the Primal Witch.

And there are three more witches like this in Wuguangling. Is this game really playable?

"Now it's worth playing!"

Ryan rolled over; after all, he was a remnant of the old regime, pickled and preserved.

Faced with an enemy that seemed impossible to defeat, Ryan's fighting spirit was ignited; the more powerful the enemy, the more powerful he felt.

He swallowed the Death Witch's fries whole, almost ruining his soul, but escaping death always brings rewards.

After all, although this thing is just fries, it is a blessing in the eyes of the cultists of death.

【Death Apostle (0.1→0.2)】

[Spirit (0.2→0.5)]

I ate one piece, and there are nine pieces left.

It seems this thing transcends the time of dreams and won't disappear as time goes back.

"You are the second most anticipated movie of this year."

Judging from the words of the Death Witch, he is very likely to die this year... no, rather, he is certain to die.

The prophecy of death is never wrong.

Ryan was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Hearing that his death was imminent, he felt grief, anger, and despair. Any normal person would know what to do, but Ryan was a rational and normal person, and he knew exactly what he should do.

The most urgent thing is to wake up from this broken dream world as soon as possible, get back to Chuguang City, and then—

Mortgage your property to clear out all accidental death insurance policies offered by various companies on the market!

He can't have died in vain.

Whoever benefits, the insurance company shouldn't!

"The third movie I'm most looking forward to this year is about that half-elf lady."

Will Jasmine die this year too?

Ryan's expression turned serious. This matter couldn't be delayed any longer; it seemed he had to buy a set for Jasmine as well.

I should have asked more questions about who else was going to die.

Ryan rubbed his temples. He could understand being targeted by death, but when did Miss Jasmine become a target...?

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have any connection with the Witch of Death.

wrong...

Ryan suddenly realized something; a flash of inspiration struck him—the connection did exist.

A month ago at the Chuguang City cafeteria.

After the gray-clad stranger arrived, all the living beings in Chuguang City, instinctively avoiding death, left the canteen, except for Miss Jasmine, who rushed back towards death.

Therefore, death lingered for a moment and did not leave.

"I see..." Ryan murmured softly. From that moment on, Miss Jasmine also entered the line of death's sight.

The seeds of this were sown from that time onward.

Ryan remained silent for a long time. Although his mind was full of thoughts about making a fortune by buying insurance, it would be impossible for him to say that he was completely without emotion.

The Witch of Death sat high in the courtyard, watching the death of each mortal as if watching a movie—although Ryan knew that the witch's worldview was different from that of mortals, that she was a higher being, an embodiment of concepts, he still felt a little angry, angry at this superior arrogance.

The witch's quirks are niche and perverse.

The reason he had such absurd dreams and received such outrageous tasks was mostly because they were games designed by the Witch of Death.

Just to satisfy her morbid curiosity about movies.

People who went to see "The Cowboy" in the cinema in their past lives were all like this. This movie has already reached its tenth installment, "The Cowboy," in 2062.

Ryan silently thought to himself, "To defy my destined death and win this game, I must first get out of this dream."

Since you want to watch movies, I'll let you watch them until you're sick of them.

At first, Ryan just thought he'd give it a try, figuring that dying a few hundred or a few thousand times would be a good way to try.

But now, out of the 730,000 deaths, Ryan will not miss a single one.

When the player's stubborn streak kicked in, he insisted on dying a thousand years ago.

It was nighttime, and the stars were twinkling brightly. The Lu Ming Grand Ceremony was etched into the starry sky. Ryan pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, where Miss Jasmine was sitting, enjoying tea and relaxing.

"Miss Jasmine."

Ryan said:

"It looks like you're going to die suddenly this year..."

"what?"

Ryan started speaking with auspicious words, which almost made Jasmine choke.

Despite the facts, despite the destiny,

But once he leaves here and returns to Chuguang City, Ryan will no longer buy insurance for himself or Jasmine, and he will not insure anyone in Chuguang City.

Ryan needs to buy a full set of accidental death insurance in advance to prevent death!

Chapter 175 Ryan Refuses to Be Born

Time has lost its meaning.

The Death Witch has nine fries left; she cannot eat them all at once, or the damage to her soul will be irreversible.

Ryan ate one fry every few hundred suicide attempts, and by the time he had eaten all the fries, he had returned to ten years ago.

[Remaining Time: Ten Years]

[Death Apostle 0.8]

【Spirit 1】

Ryan was six years old that year, and today happened to be the day he first met Miss Jasmine.

Ryan survived over six thousand deaths without going insane, largely thanks to Miss Jasmine's companionship.

But in the days to come, he would have to face death alone.

To be honest, this day is a dark chapter in Ryan's history.

It is a painful past that should never be mentioned.

But the evil half-elf recorded it and even wrote it into his book (see "Living a Leisurely and Slow Life with the Elf Lady, Part One").

Back then, he was still immature and was fooled by his father, who gathered a group of little girls and told them that these were his future childhood mothers-in-law, and that a real man should be like this. As a result, little Ryan called Jasmine "Mom" as soon as they met.

Even now, when Ryan recalls this shameful experience, he wishes he could travel back in time and strangle himself.

Although it's all in a dream now, at least I can finally avenge myself.

Sunlight streamed through the courtyard, and Ryan saw Miss Jasmine. She was an orphan raised from childhood by Lu Ming's secret service. The little girl's eyes were like those of a wary little beast, as if she were looking at everything through a layer of ice.

"Hello."

Ryan walked over confidently, his back ramrod straight, maintaining the elegant demeanor of a nobleman. This time, he was sure he wouldn't lose face.

He glanced at Jasmine indifferently. To put it bluntly, this half-elf girl was just a child, while he, though physically immature, possessed the soul of a mature adult, and was bound to display a mature demeanor, relaxed and at ease.

The half-elf lady glanced at Ryan and was indeed impressed by his mature demeanor.

She mustered her courage and said timidly:

"dad."

ha?

Ryan nearly tripped, his elegant demeanor instantly ruined.

He has a mature demeanor, but isn't he a little too mature?

Grand Duke Lawrence looked at Ryan with admiration. "As expected of my son, he has a daughter at such a young age, and she is of elven descent. His talent is truly admirable."

But he looked suspicious, after all, Jasmine was a year older than Ryan.

There's only one truth: Ryan must have been too fast. The seed traveled back in time and got Jasmine's mother pregnant, which is how Jasmine came to be.

Ryan's face darkened.

He never expected that Miss Jasmine would die so young.

Ryan also had some doubts. This was different from the real past. Did the Jasmine really act like this before...? But he quickly dismissed his doubts. After all, this world was ultimately a dream based on a set of settings, so it was normal for there to be discrepancies.

The most urgent thing is to write this sentence down and also write a book about Miss Jasmine's dark history.

Regardless, Ryan should move on.

Ryan's first meeting with Jasmine was also the last time he saw her.

With Jasmine by his side, he could indeed largely counteract the corrosive effects of death on his soul, but he couldn't rely on it forever.

Even if he dies today, he won't go to Lu Ming's secret service to find Jasmine yesterday.
