The beautiful woman curled her lips in disdain and said, “I didn’t exchange for the Spider-Man bloodline, that’s way too expensive. What I exchanged for is the Spider Silk Shooter Watch—the kind the protagonist made in the latest Spider-Man movie. Compared to the real Spider-Man bloodline, it’s not that much worse. Otherwise, why would I be afraid of you? Even if you’ve unlocked the first stage of the gene lock, as long as I exchanged for the real Spider-Man bloodline, my reflexes, strength, speed, all of that would surpass yours. In that case, beating you would be as easy as playing around.”

　　Henry Clark nodded seriously. He had also watched the Spider-Man trilogy, and the protagonist in those movies did indeed possess strength, speed, dynamic vision, and neural reflexes far beyond ordinary people. In comparison, he was nowhere near that level, even in this hypnotized state. But… what was this so-called Spider-Man bloodline all about?

　　The beautiful woman clearly noticed Henry Clark’s surprise. She giggled, looking very pleased with herself, and said, “I count as a veteran, you know… Let big sis explain it to you. There are truly countless exchanges in the Lord God’s system—if you can imagine it, you can exchange for it. There are technological items, for example, I saw the exchange for a planet-destroying mothership, laser weapons, energy armor, things you’d never expect. Besides technology, there are also things that only appear in legends and myths, like my Holy Light Shield here. It cost me 2,000 reward points. The description says it’s a Holy Spirit Shield blessed by angels. These are just little trinkets. At the Lord God’s place, you can also exchange for all kinds of bloodlines—from games, movies, anime, legends, and myths. For example, I saw angel bloodlines and god bloodlines. There are also countless skills and countless tools. As long as you can think of it, you can exchange for it with the Lord God. The only regret is… the stronger the item, the more reward points it costs. And for those extremely powerful things, there’s something called a side story mentioned. I don’t know what that is, anyway, I’ve never seen it.”

　　“So do you get it now? This is the world of reincarnation! An incredibly cruel world! This time’s horror movie is ‘Skyline’, but the one I entered was ‘The Ring’. I’ve also heard the veterans talk about the horror movies they’ve experienced—none of them are survivable for normal people… But as long as you survive, and survive a few more rounds, you can become stronger, and it’s like a snowball, you just keep getting stronger! In the end, you can even become…”

　　“A god!”

Chapter 5: Survive

　　Henry Clark felt his head swelling. In just those few dozen seconds, he had received far too much information—reincarnation world, Lord God, enhancements… So much information was simply unbelievable, because it was all too fantastical. First, the appearance of the horror movie world, then things like enhancements, bloodlines, skills, attributes… God?

　　“Heh… God?”

　　Listening to the beautiful woman, Henry Clark casually found a sofa and sat down. He chuckled at first, then his laughter grew louder and louder, until it became an exaggerated guffaw. The laughter made the woman blush, and she asked in mock annoyance, “What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?”

　　Henry Clark waved his hand and said, “No, you didn’t say anything wrong, but you misunderstood something… Let me ask you, how many horror movie worlds have you experienced in total, including this ‘Skyline’? How many times? Don’t lie.”

　　The woman blushed again, and muttered softly, “Th-three horror movie worlds.”

　　Henry Clark gave a soft laugh, but this time he immediately continued, “Let me sum it up. First, your first horror movie world was ‘The Ring’, that old Japanese horror film, right? In that world, you were just a newbie who didn’t know anything, and there seemed to be a lot of veteran players in the team. Am I right?”

　　The woman nodded, and Henry Clark continued, “Then, you and those veteran players went through another horror movie world. I don’t know what that one was, but one thing I’m sure of… aside from you, the rookie among rookies, all the other veterans are dead. Am I wrong?”

　　Upon hearing this, the woman’s face turned pale, and her body began to tremble slightly. Clearly, she was recalling something terrifying, but she still nodded slightly.

　　At this point, Henry Clark rubbed his forehead and said, “So it’s obvious. Among the veteran players in this team, there were people who had unlocked the gene lock, as you said, and their strength was much greater than yours. They probably enhanced their bloodlines or some advanced attributes, right? In your eyes, their strength was already superhuman. But now… where are they now?! They’re all dead! The strong are dead, and the weak like you survived. It’s all just luck, like playing Russian roulette—who lives and who dies is out of your control, all up to luck. Luck, heh, god, heh… Who the hell dares to say for sure that their luck is so heaven-defying that they can become a god just by relying on luck?!”
