Chapter 1, The Realm of the Gods

The jade pendant is predominantly light green, measuring approximately two centimeters in length and width, forming a square shape. What caught Xiao Nuo's attention the most was the vividly carved, fearsome roaring ghost head pattern on the pendant. When Xiao Nuo directed his gaze towards this ghost head pattern, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of fierce and expressive eyes on the ghost head, which bizarrely blinked at him.

One Piece, ceases publication

This guy really hits hard today

You have arrived

Little did she know that the sudden suspension of publication shattered Xiaonuo's beautiful aspirations, causing her mood to become even more somber. However, at that moment, Xiaonuo suddenly recalled the jade pendant she had picked up on her way home. She couldn't help but reach into her pocket, take out the pendant, and examine it closely in her hand.

Oh? The Realm of the Gods

Working hours: four hours

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Xiao Nuo gently shook his head and murmured a word. Suddenly, a feeling of bloodline connection arose in his heart; he faintly sensed that this jade pendant was destined to be his, as if it had fallen before him and been picked up by him according to some unseen fate.

After checking that her injuries did not require a hospital visit, Xiao Nuo skillfully took out some medicinal alcohol and, suppressing the pain, applied it to her body. She then returned to her bedroom and sat down directly in front of the computer. The familiar sound of the keyboard echoed as she opened her favorite music. A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Xiao Nuo's eyes, and then she clicked the mouse with her right hand to open her most frequented website.

Even though Xiao Nuo's endurance was strong, he couldn't help but gasp when he took off his short-sleeved shirt. As the shirt was removed, Xiao Nuo's figure, which could make countless girls scream, was revealed before his eyes. However, when he saw the large bruise on his body, his brows furrowed tightly.

Naruto, ceased publication

But at that moment, an even more bizarre event occurred

Under the constraints of this unequal treaty, Xiao Nuo had no choice but to work tirelessly to fulfill this obligation. After all, it was Xiao Nuo's own lack of foresight that led him to be blinded by the generous remuneration and sign this contract. However, after suffering this loss, Xiao Nuo became enlightened. In the future, whenever faced with any situation, he would exhaustively consider the pros and cons to avoid falling into the wolf's den and being deceived again

Indeed. The shadow replied coldly and succinctly, "Since you have entered the realm of the gods, you must fulfill the tasks assigned by the realm of the gods"

It seems that I can only walk home now

Xiao Nuo vaguely remembers that on the first day he and the library received this job, after being knocked down by a burly man while wearing numerous protective gears for the second time on the rubber floor, he wanted to resign. However, at the time of obtaining this job, Xiao Nuo signed a contract with a boss he had never even met, stipulating that he must work here for six years or pay an astronomical sum in compensation

From today onwards, you are the Domain of the Gods, number 1628638

Hehe ... ...

Having just finished her daily practice session, Xiao Nuo was already exhausted. Coupled with the fact that she had to walk home, even with her good stamina, her legs began to tremble. She casually tossed her shoulder bag onto the floor and walked straight into her bedroom. As was her usual habit, the first thing she did upon entering was to turn on her computer. Only after that did Xiao Nuo head to the bathroom to remove her upper clothing and check for any injuries sustained during today's practice.

As Xiao Nuo spoke, he suddenly took a deep breath, lowered his head to look at his toes, as if this would prevent the other person from seeing his expression. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Nuo tentatively asked: "Does any request refer to things that modern science cannot achieve, or even things that one cannot imagine?"

Hmm?

Hearing someone speak to him, Xiao Nuo immediately rubbed his eyes and took a while to open them. However, the moment he opened his eyes, he was once again stunned, for what appeared before him was no longer his bedroom, but an enormous bronze giant door!

Interesting

For example ... ... let me find someone ... ... and also for example ... ... the person I found is dead ... ... can you bring them back to life

YES or NO

This is the realm of the gods, the shadow said coldly

... ...

Twenty-two years old

It was evident that the shadow had likely never seen anyone enter the Realm of the Gods and remain so composed. Moreover, it was as if inquiring about a job, first asking what kind of remuneration would be received upon joining. After a brief silence, the shadow then spoke calmly: "Very well, if you can complete the tasks assigned by the Realm of the Gods and deliver to me twenty Secret Silver Medals, then... you may make one request."

Any requests

Beijing City, Yingbin Community, Building 2, Unit 3, Room 603

Daily wage: 800

Xiao Nuo felt as if the entire world had come to a standstill in that moment, and the sensations emanating from his body were exceedingly strange, as if there were a transparent membrane in front of him, akin to a * diagram * book. Although he had his eyes tightly shut and saw nothing but darkness, he sensed a feeling of breaking through something, or perhaps a barrier.

Have you also been abandoned by someone

During the four hours of work each day, Xiao Nuo has to face various sparring partners to assist them in practicing wrestling. The sparring partners that Xiao Nuo serves are almost all around 2 meters tall, weighing between 85 kg and 90 kg, possessing physiques that can almost rival those of bodybuilders, characterized by broad shoulders and a robust build.

Fell into a coma

Do you wish to know the truth of life? Do you truly want to... live?

Upon hearing that person utter such a baffling remark, Xiao Nuo's steps involuntarily froze in place. However, at that moment, a powerful suction suddenly emanated from the door, catching Xiao Nuo completely off guard, and he was directly pulled in with a swift "whoosh." Once inside, he found himself enveloped by a strange force, and excruciating pain coursed through his entire body. Subsequently, Xiao Nuo felt a darkness enveloping his vision.

In the dim surroundings, Xiao Nuo could not discern the true appearance of the jade pendant. After hesitating for a moment while holding the pendant, Xiao Nuo directly placed it into his pocket, thinking that he would study it carefully once he returned home. He then continued to stroll along the deserted street, heading towards his small dwelling.

Orphan

Male

From the giant door that had been opened, Xiao Nuo could only see a pitch-black expanse ahead, unable to discern any scene behind the door. However, the more he encountered this darkness, the more intrigued he became, even trembling slightly with excitement. Then, as he took a step forward, just as he was about to step through the door, a metallic voice once again echoed in Xiao Nuo's ears.

Currently studying at a third-rate university in Beibing City, I am a senior student about to graduate

Time: June 20, 2010, 12:36 AM

Alright, let's go in

A crisp sound entered Xiao Nuo's ears, capturing his attention. Under the surrounding lights, Xiao Nuo vaguely saw something ahead reflecting a faint glow. Driven by curiosity, he stepped forward to pick up the object. When Xiao Nuo held it in his hand, he was surprised to find that this object, which had seemingly fallen from nowhere, was actually a jade pendant.

shook his head and let out a helpless sigh

It is still a year

Through multiple experiences as a "human punching bag," Xiao Nuo not only learned how to reduce the pain from attacks, but also significantly enhanced her physical resilience compared to the average person. Additionally, during her training sessions, Xiao Nuo occasionally picked up some wrestling techniques. It is no exaggeration to say that now, when dealing with local bullies or similar individuals, two or three of them can hardly get close to her.

Sigh

Kishimoto and Oda are being incredibly irresponsible; is nostalgia for Toriyama's Dragon Ball the only option left?

The pitch-black night sky is adorned with scattered stars, and the last few drops of rain from the heavy downpour reported by the weather forecast have just fallen, leaving a crisp freshness in the air

Xiao Nuo felt a bittersweet pang in her heart regarding her unfortunate fate, yet she secretly rejoiced that her residence was not far away. She casually took out a coat from a shoulder bag marked with a check symbol and draped it over herself for warmth. Under the bright moonlight, Xiao Nuo's shadow was elongated on the ground, appearing so solitary.

Upon receiving such a response, Xiao Nuo was taken aback and repeated it. After a moment of thought, she continued to ask: "Since I have come here and seen you, I suppose... you would not let me leave easily, would you?"

A cold voice echoed in the darkness, much like the voice that had just resonated in Xiao Nuo's mind.

It was a voice as emotionless as metal, yet within that voice lay an indescribable allure that compelled Xiao Nuo to pick up the jade pendant shimmering with a ghostly green light. At the same time, in Xiao Nuo's line of sight, he also saw a dialogue box suddenly appear on his computer screen

Although there is a popular saying in the country of Huaxia, which goes "Graduating from university equals unemployment," for Xiao Nuo, who faces economic issues the moment he receives his university admission notice and loses the national relief funds, graduation does not equate to unemployment. This is because he secured a job, or one might say a part-time position, four years ago.

Ah?

The bronze giant door emitted a faint yellow light, surrounded by neatly arranged long tusks, giving Xiao Nuo the feeling that he would be swallowed by it at any moment. Moreover, this giant door stood at least over 100 meters high, towering like the majestic Mount Tai, instilling in Xiao Nuo a profound sense of fear as he looked up at it, even provoking an impulse to kneel and worship it

Sigh

Hehe, it is indeed like this. "Xiao Nuo shook his head and smiled as he said.

With a helpless sigh, Xiao Nuo casually closed the open webpage. Usually, what Xiao Nuo enjoys most is watching movies and browsing hetushu.com to relieve stress. Today was supposed to be the day when the popular Japanese anime "Naruto" and "One Piece" were updated. Xiao Nuo had been looking forward to it all day, eagerly waiting to get home to finish watching her favorite anime, and then have a good sleep.

You have arrived

Although Xiao Nuo could see the silhouette of a person at that time, no matter how hard he tried, he could not discern the person's features, only knowing that he was quietly sitting there. At the same time, Xiao Nuo could sense that the person's gaze was likely fixed upon him, or perhaps on the strange jade pendant he held in his hand

The jade pendant thrown in front of the computer by Xiao Nuo had its roaring ghostly head blink again, and at that moment, it emitted a ghostly green light, chillingly illuminating the surroundings. Moreover, just as it released this eerie glow, the song that was playing from the computer speakers abruptly stopped, causing Xiao Nuo to feel a peculiar sense of palpitations, instinctively widening her eyes.

This feeling suddenly emerged in Xiao Nuo's heart, causing her to instinctively take a step back. However, in that moment, the texture beneath her feet also changed. The sensation was no longer the hard feeling of stepping on the floor in her bedroom; instead, it felt as if she were stepping on something soft and slimy like cement, akin to treading on animal entrails.

Remember, live on with your own strength

Standing there in a daze for a long time, Xiao Nuo was rendered speechless by this series of bizarre events. However, as Xiao Nuo regained his composure, a slight smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said with a smile:

is not

In the room, there sits a person

Once again, a statement with a metallic resonance emerged from that person's lips, causing Xiao Nuo to momentarily freeze. After a considerable pause, Xiao Nuo gradually regained composure, his gaze narrowing on the shadow before him. He then furrowed his brow and inquired of the person, "Where... where is this place?"

The main job can simply be referred to as a sparring partner, but Xiao Nuo prefers to call it a "human punching bag"

It is one second

It is indeed a boring question, but I quite like it. Why not give it a try

No, he should not be described as a person

Bang

Xiao Nuo

In the late night, almost no one has the leisure to stroll around at this hour. Due to a heavy rain, even the vehicles on the street have become scarce. Xiao Nuo, who had just finished a busy day of work, stood alone on the damp road for a full ten minutes, and aside from occasionally seeing a few drunken men pass by, not a single taxi had arrived.

Here is a hint for you regarding the book.

This is Xiao Nuo's temporary residence, located approximately thirty minutes from the university Xiao Nuo attends and about a twenty-minute walk from her workplace

It is hard to imagine that a person who has experienced such bizarre events can still smile, yet Xiao Nuo is such a person. When faced with the abandonment of his parents and societal pressure, Xiao Nuo was able to confront it all with composure. He had long felt that something could crush him. After laughing, Xiao Nuo suddenly spoke again, asking: "So, having joined the so-called realm of the gods and becoming what you refer to as number 1628638, what benefits does it bring?"

Such a bizarre situation occurred that even Xiao Nuo couldn't help but tremble all over, and the jade pendant slipped from his hand, falling directly in front of Xiao Nuo's computer

Snap ... ...

This job not only provides Xiao Nuo with financial income, but also enables Xiao Nuo to attain a strong physique

Location: Northeast Province of Huaxia, Beibing City

Hiss ... ...

Upon hearing this sentence, Xiao Nuo vaguely felt that the figure glanced at him, and then he suddenly extended his finger and flicked it. Suddenly, the massive door behind him emitted a faint glow, and then with a "swish," the giant door abruptly opened, as if it had been ajar all along

Do you wish to know the truth of life? Do you truly want to... live?

With her fingers resting on the mouse, Xiao Nuo skillfully moved to the "YES" button. Taking a deep breath, she focused her gaze, and her finger gently clicked the left mouse button on "YES". Immediately, a sharp light flashed across the computer screen, causing Xiao Nuo to instinctively close her eyes in pain, and even after shutting her eyes, her eyeballs still felt a slight sting.

Initially, for Xiao Nuo, the daily practice sessions were a form of torment as he was thrown to the floor countless times, lacking any strength to defend or retaliate. However, with his tenacious vitality and strong adaptability, he managed to acclimate to this job in just six months, and even came to enjoy it.

However, after Xiao Nuo glanced at the giant door, his gaze immediately shifted downward, looking towards the direction from which the cold voice had come.

With a response that was both very concise and resolute, the person answered Xiao Nuo as if he were not the first to pose this question at all. After receiving such a definitive answer, a broader smile appeared on Xiao Nuo's face as he took a few steps forward and said to the individual: "In that case, I will join your realm of the gods"
