Reincarnation Paradise: Moon Walker

Twenty hours is certainly an exaggerated amount of time to rest, but Selene could tell that it suited her to sleep for so long. Her happiness ended when she saw a message from Reincarnation Paradise.

[Certain abnormal signs have been detected in the hunter's body and mind, do you wish to activate the park's standard recovery procedure?]

Selene's eyes narrowed as she read that even though her body was technically healthy, she could sense that it was just a facade, a recovery based on a curse she used in her battle, so it was normal that many things weren't quite right with her. 

Especially since she was facing a direct attack based on the power of the world! No healer could heal the deep wounds that such a high power could cause, so she quickly decided to enable the healing of the park with a mental command. 

A bright green light appeared in the room, enveloping the girl's body and completely bathing it in its glow. A strange yet exuberant vitality permeated Selene's skin and gradually permeated her entire body, even reaching esoteric parts of her being such as her mind and soul. 

Soon the green light faded, leaving Selene with a flushed face and a completely tense body. It had been a long time since she had felt this good! 

She felt as if she had had the longest orgasm of her life, and even had to hold herself against the wall with one hand, breathing heavily for a few minutes as she slowly calmed down.

"That was the best fucking experience I've ever had in my life; it was worth the money. Wait, why does it have such a connotation?" muttered Selene when she had fully recovered, though her body occasionally shook from the sensory aftertaste.

She would never forget this experience, and with that gleam in her red eyes, perhaps she could seek death a little more in the next world, just to enjoy the healing of the park. 

'Now I have a strange taste, but it's good for me, so it's not a problem,' Selene thought before finally making her way to the door of the private room.

Selene opened the door, loud voices were heard and the wonderful appearance of the interior of the Reincarnation Paradise appeared before her eyes, she even felt as if her heart had skipped a beat due to the impression she took away.

A large number of buildings appeared in front of Selene's eyes. The buildings had different shapes and heights. Some were made of metal, some of brick and stone, and some seemed to have been formed by some kind of creature, with liquid seeping from the surface from time to time.

The rows of buildings, which were as tall as mountains, formed wide streets that were crowded. Looking up, Selene noticed that there was a milky white film in the sky above Reincarnation Paradise, like a force field covering all this strange space outside.

The view outside was truly beautiful, Reincarnation Paradise seemed to be enveloped in a strange stream of white light, with multicolored points of light constantly flashing and even forming indecipherable patterns.

Looking at the sky for too long caused a severe headache, what if the force field was reluctant? Probably the minds of people with a low standard of living would be melted. 

What was this incredible sight? Selene didn't know, but she thought it would be good to explore this aspect slowly in the future when she didn't feel her head split in two at every glance.

Selene then focused her gaze down, ignoring her lack of shoes and concentrating on the strange floor. The ground beneath Selene's feet was a pale yellow gelatinous substance, not soft, but very flat, but at times it seemed like a strange non-Newtonian liquid, she even felt that if she fell from a great height for any reason, she would bounce safely on it.

This was probably a security measure of the park, because according to the rules she knew, it was impossible to get hurt in Reincarnation Paradise, well, except for certain special circumstances. 

But your life will never be in danger to the point where you can expose yourself to things you shouldn't, just because the park will protect you from any danger as long as you are inside. 

Now, if you were constantly seeking death, the park wouldn't care if you died while outside their body by provoking other contractors or dangerous animals, because that would be all your fault.

Speaking of contractors, Selene could see people in various costumes walking the streets. Some were wearing full body armor, others were holding staffs and wearing robes, looking like wizards. 

It was like walking into a great show of styles and diversity at a comic or anime convention some people looked like fictional characters, or maybe they were those fictional characters, one never knew.

But there were not only humans, she saw some intelligent humanoid creatures, like the classic cat girls, rabbit girls, owl girls, well, Selene just focused on the huge variety of beautiful girls. 

If we take away her personal bias, she could also see reptilian beings, slimes with hats, and even a golden dragon arguing with a goblin about the correct price of some jewelry with an obvious magical glow. 

What's more, many of these people were sitting directly on the street, with a carpet in front of them and various products laid out, with prices floating above each item, some with an auction or barter option.

"White weapon, level 10, with a useful bonus, 1,000 Paradise Coins, if you don't have any money, stay away, don't get in the way."

"Minor Life Restoration Potion, 3000 Paradise Coins, 20% discount for more than three bottles, all fruit flavored, choose your favorite."

"I am willing to spend a lot of money to seek protection from a magician. I will go to the next world with a level 3 difficulty. The price is negotiable, preferably a pretty girl."

Seeing the faces of some girls in witch dresses at the blatant request of the fat man with pimples on his face, Selene almost burst out laughing, yes, this was the reincarnation paradise she had imagined.

Selene knew a little about the situation in the Paradise of Reincarnation without having to ask. After experiencing the first derivation world, ordinary contractors usually received 10,000 to 15,000 Paradise Coins, which might seem like a lot, but it was quickly consumed by some major purchases.

The derived world she experienced had a Difficulty of 7. Adding in the crazy things she did, even causing an existence like Beyond to appear, allowed Selene to gain wealth unimaginable to any novice. 

She was also one of the lucky ones to gain something as valuable as a profession and lineage to go with it, even with the knowledge that she could unlock and practice as long as she put in the effort. 

This situation was very rare, after all, there were not many like her or Su Xiao, the protagonist of the original novel, who received so many benefits like her, who obtained a world-level item and was talented enough to claim one of the most powerful inheritances of the Void. 

"Huh? That's..." Selene's eyes continued to scan everything she could, especially the long legs of the beautiful girls, and suddenly she stopped and saw a restaurant in a remote alley. 

This restaurant is not known to the contractors of Reincarnation Paradise and is about to close due to its remote location, but as someone who enjoyed reading the plot of the original novel and even some of the few good fanfics based on it, she noticed it. 

And Selene was very familiar with this restaurant called Summer Season. She wasn't hungry, not after eating an object contaminated with the concept of 'world', but tasting a good meal wasn't out of place. 

So, seeing a 'familiar' restaurant, she naturally chose to eat there and entered, causing the door to emit a soft sound that alerted the person manning the premises to the entrance of a new customer.

"Welcome~" greeted a woman upon hearing the noise at the entrance.

It was Summers, the owner of the shop, who was sitting with a desperate expression, but her gesture did not take away from the beautiful and delicate features, especially those of her figure. 

The girl had long black hair and her features showed her oriental origins, the white apron on her body, close to her figure, only emphasized her beauty. Selene could easily tell that she was an 8 out of 10, another point if she smiled. 

The restaurant Summers had opened was practically new and had not been around for a long time, which meant that there were few customers, so she was afraid that she would have to close the place if the situation continued like this.

With her culinary skills, it would be easy to apply for a job in a big restaurant or with an adventurous group. But she didn't want to do that. She just wanted to quietly open her restaurant and enjoy the idleness of being a park employee.

While Summers was considering whether to go out and hand out flyers on the street to attract people, or whether to agree to participate in this strange cooking show that was being broadcast across the Omniverse, Selene's sudden appearance brought her out of her stupor, after she realized that she had been waving out of pure inertia.

"Give me the best meat-based dishes you have, if you can, don't take the blood out of them," Selene said briefly. 

Noticing Summers' emotions, she thought of something very important, she thought of the protagonist Su Xiao, maybe he had not arrived at this restaurant yet? No, did he even exist? She guessed that the boy would be there, otherwise, it would be very boring.

Because she felt that Su Xiao could help her a lot in achieving her goal of staying alive, whether it was fighting together, training, or exchanging resources. Not only him, but also a certain guy who made clones with his soul and was very lucky, or that other young man who was the best healer in the Void.

But finding people in Reincarnation Paradise was a little more complicated than you might think. The place looked very large, and no one had counted the population, but there must be over 100,000 people, at least the human population. 

The reason no one kept statistics or bothered to count the number of people in the park is because the mortality rate of the contractors in Reincarnation Paradise is extremely high.

As she recalled, the mortality rate of contractors in the first world is 80%, in the second world it is 60%, and in the third world, it is 50%. And it does not mean that the probability of death is lower the further back you go, on the contrary, the risk can be higher the further back you go. 

Once you get involved in a big mission or a fight with certain people, the mortality rate will be over 80%. But that was only in the novel, who knows, in real life, maybe all this data would be better or worse, she had to confirm it later.

Summers did not take long to serve the food. It took Selene only a short time to look at the table and it was already full. Selene, who wanted to taste quality food, began to eat quickly, but in order. 

She always kept her manners and delicacy, not because of anything special, but because she had a pretty girl cooking at her side, so he had to make a good impression. Besides, Summers' food tasted great, and that alone was reason enough for her to eat even faster.

Seeing this scene of a girl devouring pieces of meat like a carnivorous beast, Summers' mouth opened slightly in surprise, and then she realized that this place was Reincarnation Paradise, what kind of people and monsters were there?

Maybe because of the lack of customers, but Summers now realized how powerful a person could be and how it affected her eating rhythm, it had been a long time since she had seen this scene, so she had forgotten about it. Now Selene helped her to remember.

This meal only cost Selene over 500 Paradise Coins, which was a bit expensive for newcomers who had just experienced the Test World and only had about 10,000 Paradise Coins. 

Normally, if you just wanted a simple meal to fill your stomach, 50 or 80 Paradise Coins would be enough, but the food Summers made was worth it, especially since some of it brought small temporary bonuses, a nice surprise when you just wanted to satisfy your hunger.

"Excuse me, you gave me extra money," Summers pointed out with some embarrassment, but Selene's smile, now enjoying a large glass of beer, grew much wider. 

"I just want to hire some... special 'services', like getting more detailed information about Reincarnation Paradise, if you don't mind," Sure that her suggestive tone had the desired effect on Summers, who had blushed, Selene quickly focused her mind on what was important.

Buying information!
