Chapter 1, Returning to Reality

Behind the world, the reality within the illusion, emerged thirty years ago, and now, thirty years later, the Hunter Guild stands as the largest organization in the dark world. What kind of existence is it? In over twenty years of an ordinary life, the change of fate occurs in an instant. Wang Fang, who returns from the cycle of reincarnation carrying the door of truth, sees the trajectory of his life quietly shift in this year, this month, this day. This half-month period has already become the last tranquility in Wang Fang's life.

What is happening to me?" Wang Fang felt that even speaking was somewhat difficult; this sense of powerlessness was truly distressing for him. "Li Qian, what is wrong with you?"

It was ultimately Li Qian who broke the silence. "You can go," Wang Fang said, turning his gaze to the ceiling, no longer looking at her

Isn't it something you have used before, haha ... ...

Wang Fang took a deep breath, simply staring at Li Qian. His close friend Li Xin, realizing they had something to discuss, quickly pulled the others out. "Thank you, Li Qian." Having experienced so much, the woman he once loved deeply did not stir any emotions within him, as if she were merely a stranger who had done him a favor.

Wang Fang let out a sigh; since he was powerless to resist, he might as well enjoy it. Regardless of the circumstances, life goes on. However, there will come a day when he will stand above this cycle, no longer bound by this world. Having understood all of this, Wang Fang casually hurled the battle knife in his hand towards the corner of the wall. A new life is about to begin

"Doctor Zhou, how is his condition?" Mr. Wang asked with concern. "Mr. Wang's physical condition is good; however, he has been in a coma for an extended period without food intake, relying solely on intravenous fluids, which has left him somewhat weak. A few more days of recuperation in the hospital, along with some nutritional supplementation, and he will be able to be discharged." "Thank you, Doctor Zhou." "No need to be polite, sir."

Endless darkness, infinite void, this time even the door was gone. Time seemed to have passed countless centuries, yet it also felt as if only a moment had elapsed. A point of light appeared in the darkness, emanating a peculiar gravitational pull that drew Wang Fang towards it. What could it be?

The light source drew ever closer, and through this light source, an unimaginable image appeared before Wang Fang's eyes. Finally, after countless cycles of reincarnation, Wang Fang welcomed a new life. However, after enduring a cycle lasting a hundred years, is he still the same person he once was

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the door was opened. "Li Qian!" Li Qian turned her head, "Thank you." "No need to mention it." The door closed tightly, and Wang Fang felt a sense of calm within, yet why was there a trace of tears at the corner of her eye? Gently brushing it away, this tear was merely a reflection of the body itself

Opening my eyes, the vision shifts from blurry to clear. What appears before my eyes is a world of white. I am covered with a white blanket, lying on white sheets, surrounded by a white table, a white cup, white instruments, and the white fluorescent lights. The century-long cycle feels like a dream, yet if it is a dream, it is so vivid. The century within that dream, the door, the alchemy, the large house, the little girl named Nia, the big dog named Alexander, everything is so clear. And those white fluorescent lights, the century-long cycle feels like a dream, yet if it is a dream, it is so vivid. The century within that dream, the door, the alchemy, the large house, the little girl named Nia, the big dog named Alexander, everything is so clear.

Wang Fang walked towards Nina, preparing to lift her up, but Nina had suddenly stopped moving. She looked towards Edward and Alphonse, who were also in a similar state. In this world, Wang Fang turned his head to look outside; the flow of time had instantaneously slowed down. The rain outside fell to the ground at an extremely slow pace, becoming slower and slower, until it finally hovered in the air. Time had come to a standstill

"There is no need to say thank you, I simply forgot to leave the room key for you, I just came back to give it to you." After saying this, Li Qian took a key out of her pocket and handed it to Wang Fang. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, neither of them speaking again, and the entire room was enveloped in silence. Wang Fang looked at the wilted flower in the vase on the table next to Li Jing.

Feeling weak and powerless all over, his body completely restrained, Wang Fang struggled to lift his left hand and pressed the electric bell by the bedside. Many people came over, first the nurses in white, then a few familiar faces that seemed to belong to a distant memory, his college buddies, and Li Qian was also there, along with an elderly man, Wang Bo, who had accompanied him throughout his life from childhood to adulthood.

I have nothing to say, but I heard that Uncle Wang rushed over after hearing about your situation, and he has been keeping watch over you every day. It seems that your parents also came by once.

As graduation approached, the conflicts between the two began to escalate. Finally, after a heated argument, Li Qian proposed a breakup. This incident occurred on the night of their separation. After Li Qian left to pack her things alone, Wang Fang sat in their small home, where they had lived together for three years, in a daze for the entire afternoon. He then opened his computer and started watching anime, neglecting to have dinner.

The Li Qian he mentioned was his girlfriend from university, with whom he had lived for three years. However, recently, during the last semester of their senior year, as graduation approached, their relationship became increasingly strained. It is often said that couples break up after graduating from university, and there is indeed some truth to this. Wang Fang and Li Qian were in different parts of the country, with Li Qian having her own plans. Even before graduating, she had already secured a job, reportedly with a Fortune 500 company. Getting into such a large company naturally required connections, especially since her family had arranged a blind date for her with someone from the company that was to employ her. She neither opposed nor responded to this arrangement.

Alright, after all, they are your parents, fine, I won't mention it again. Li Xin waved her hands, instinctively blocking something. Seeing that you are fine puts my mind at ease. I have a date this afternoon, so I will go prepare now. Alright, let the past be the past, there are plenty of beautiful women in the world. Tomorrow, I, Li Qingsheng, will introduce you to a stunning beauty that will surely satisfy you, haha

Finally, feeling extremely hungry, I decided to make a cup of instant noodles. My memory became hazy while boiling the water; the exposed copper wire of the fast heater released a current that directly caused his time travel

Escaping a small cycle, one enters a larger cycle. It is truly lamentable for humanity and all beings in this world. This world is in a constant state of destruction and rebirth, and is the current existence we live in not the same? It is merely that the duration of the cycle is too long, while the lifespan of living beings is too short.

"Wang Fang? What about you and Li Qian?" Li Xin asked with concern, not knowing when she had entered. "Hehe, it's nothing, it's all in the past and doesn't need to be mentioned again. During the time I was unconscious, I owe you a lot for your care," Wang Fang said, noticing that Li Xin seemed much thinner than before.

"You were electrocuted; if it weren't for Li Qian, you would be dead by now." The speaker was his childhood friend Li Xin, who had been close to him for many years. At this moment, despite their familiarity, there was a sense of estrangement, as if a vast chasm had opened up between them. As he looked at the people before him, memories began to surface in Wang Fang's mind.

A peculiar wave centered around him spread out in all directions, and the space emitted a "crackling" sound, gradually splitting apart, with the gaps widening and radiating outward. The entire world resembled a mirror that had been struck by a heavy hammer, shattering into countless pieces with a "crackling" sound, as if everything had returned to a space outside this world, waiting for the door to open.

Haha ... ... I don't mind if you want to use what I've used! Haha! '' Li Xin's laughter came from outside the door ... ...
