REINCARNATION PARADISE

At this moment, the information about the derived world finally appeared before Su Xiao.

[World Entered: Tokyo Ghoul]

[World Difficulty: Level 3. Hard (The difficulty has been reduced due to the overall lower strength of normal contractors.)]

[World Source: 0% (As the hunter explores or interacts with the characters in this world, it will increase. At the end of the world, the world source will be calculated alongside task difficulty to form a final score.)]

[World Introduction: In the chaotic and noisy modern society of Tokyo, a type of man-eating monster known as "ghouls" lurks. Ghouls appear indistinguishable from normal humans, but when the Rc cells in their bodies are activated, they show their red eyes. Ghouls survive by consuming humans to maintain the activity of their Rc cells, which also grants them physical abilities far beyond normal humans.]

[Main Quest: Join either the CCG (Ghoul Investigators) or one of the ghoul factions (Aogiri Tree or Clowns). The next quest will activate after the hunter joins a faction.]

[Hunter Quest: Eliminate the rogue contractor #12470. When the hunter enters a one-kilometer radius of contractor #12470, the tracking function will activate.]

[Warning: Do not mention anything about 'Reincarnation Paradise' in this world. Failure to comply will result in immediate execution!]

[Reminder: This world's main quest is a chain quest. After completing three main quests, you can choose to return to Reincarnation Paradise (hunters must complete their hunter task). The more main quests you complete, the higher your final evaluation will be.]

[Reminder: It has been detected that the hunter does not know the language of this world. 100 Paradise Coins will be automatically deducted to acquire the language.]

World Begins!

Seeing that this world was only level 3, Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile forming on his face.

Finally, it wasn't the nightmare-level difficulty like before. He wouldn't feel as constrained as he did in the One Piece world. Now, he just needed to gauge the strength of both the ghouls and the CCG.

It was the first time Su Xiao had encountered a chain main quest, but his choice was clear—he would join the CCG.

Joining the ghouls wasn't a good option for him. Not only was he still human, but the secretive and fugitive lifestyle of ghouls didn't inspire any trust either.

As for the hunter task, Su Xiao was still in the dark. He had no idea who this unlucky contractor #12470 was.

He had no leads yet, but Reincarnation Paradise did inform him that once he was within a kilometer of the target, the tracking function would activate.

Tokyo wasn't a large city, so the one-kilometer range of detection should be sufficient.

For now, Su Xiao just needed to focus on the main quest. The time limit was 48 hours, and failure would result in a 13,000 Paradise Coin penalty. If he didn't have enough coins, his equipment would be taken. And if that wasn't enough either, well, then he'd die.

As for the hunter task, there were no penalties or time limits, which made Su Xiao suspicious that there was more to this task than met the eye. Perhaps the time for that task simply hadn't come yet.

Whoever this contractor was, they were no ordinary rule-abiding individual. It was likely that they would reveal themselves soon enough by stirring up trouble. Su Xiao wasn't in any rush.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Footsteps echoed from down the hallway as a large figure wearing a mask emerged from the darkness.

"It seems that your title as the 'Binge Eater' isn't just for show." the man said.

The man was dressed in a white suit and wore a white mask with air vents around the mouth and nose area. As he approached Rize, he snapped his fingers with a sharp click.

Rize stopped eating and looked visibly displeased.

"I hate it when my meals are interrupted..."

The two of them started exchanging words, thick with tension and the promise of a fight.

"This is bad." whispered one of the contractors nervously. "Two S-class ghouls, and Rize Kamishiro is between S and SS-class..."

All the other contractors felt a chill down their spines. This was no ordinary start. Even someone as composed as Han Yu, who had been leading his group, was now visibly on edge. Reincarnation Paradise had dropped them right in front of two S-class ghouls.

"When the shield disappears, we'll run. Our lives will depend on luck then," Han Yu said, gripping his staff tightly, no longer as confident as before.

The protective shield would only last for another minute. Once it disappeared, death seemed almost certain.

Su Xiao had already recognized the two figures. The purple-haired woman was Rize Kamishiro, and the man in the white suit was Yamori, also known as Jason.

Jason was the ghoul who would later famously "train" Kaneki Ken in the original story.

"I've been ordered to take you back, and they want you alive." Jason said, wielding a large pair of pliers, a tool used in ghoul surgeries.

Ghouls couldn't be harmed by ordinary blades or medical tools due to the Rc cells that made their skin incredibly tough.

Humans also had Rc cells in their bodies, but in much smaller amounts. Ghouls not only ate humans out of hunger, but also to replenish their Rc cells. Rc cells were a remarkable type of energy, strengthening the body and forming weapons like Kagune.

The battle between Rize and Jason was on the verge of breaking out. Jason, ever the sadist, was eager for a fight.

"How about you give me a finger, maybe a few arms, or five or six legs before I take you back?" Jason laughed maniacally, loving the idea of torturing Rize before capturing her.

"Such a big man, yet you like to play with little toys? How cute," Rize taunted, her words making Jason even angrier.

With that, Jason charged at Rize, aiming his pliers at the back of her head.

Without even looking, four blood-red kagune extended from Rize's waist, striking Jason with a force that sent him stumbling back several steps. The impact also shattered a nearby aquarium, flooding the room with water.

Clearly, Rize had no intention of fighting Jason. She leaped high into the air, trying to escape.

At that exact moment, the protective shield around Su Xiao vanished. Time was up.

Without missing a beat, Su Xiao tensed the muscles in his legs and leaped forward, a shadow moving through the air.

He landed directly in front of Rize mid-leap, his foot smashing into her soft abdomen.

Rize's expression twisted in surprise and pain. She hadn't expected Su Xiao to be so fast, nor did she have time to dodge.

BAM!

Su Xiao's kick sent Rize crashing to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

Su Xiao landed smoothly, his leg feeling a bit sore from kicking Rize's tough body.

Drawing Dragon Flash, Su Xiao smiled at both Rize and Jason.

"So this is an S-class ghoul? How disappointing. Weak, far weaker than I expected. Well, killing you two should be enough to get me into the CCG."

Rize struggled to her feet, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Su Xiao warily, her eyes darting around, clearly searching for an escape route.

The other contractors were in shock, their jaws nearly hitting the floor. Even Han Yu was drenched in cold sweat, finally realizing why they had been dropped into such a deadly situation right at the start.

It was because among them was someone even more monstrous than the ghouls themselves. Reincarnation Paradise had created this scenario to balance the story, and that someone was Su Xiao.
