Xing Ye just rested for the morning before immediately taking a flight abroad. He wanted to hand over all his work to his assistant in order to focus on his little brother. To sign the contract, he had to go personally.

He had already passed the stage of being an unruly youth. Even if he was even more grieved and the sky collapsed the next day, today's things must be completed.

An international corporation had too many interests at stake, so he couldn't afford to take a break.

Xing Ye napped for a few hours on the plane before going straight to the company. He used four days to deal with his business abroad, and returned to China just before the seven day deadline.

He got home and laid on his bed. There were still a few hours before it was time, and he needed some sleep.

Without even needing an alarm, Xing Ye opened his eyes at exactly 1:29. The phone screen turned black and white as the prompt "Will you enter the game?" popped up. Xing Ye tapped 'Enter'.

Nothing had changed in the black and white space since he had left. The first thing Xing Ye did when he entered was grab the mirror.

The mirror's surface lit up as a grumpy voice appeared: "I had to stay here alone for seven days."

Xing Ye ignored him and turned to the black and white rubix cube: "Are we going to the next world now?"

The black and white rubix cube spun as it spoke: "There will be a random number of between 6-10 people competing in the melee world. There can be ten winners as well as zero winners. In the melee world, it's up to the player whether they wish to act independently or team up with other players. However, you can only team up with people in the same camp as you. Now, we'll randomly choose the number of players in your game."

The rubix cube spun randomly and stopped a minute later, speaking to Xing Ye: "Congratulations, player! Your luck's not bad this time. The melee world will have seven players, four from the following fate camp and three from the opposing fate camp. Player X8205 will finally have a team!"

Xing Ye wasn't nearly as excited as the black and white rubix cube. In a world like a battle royale type melee world, the less players there were, the better. Nobody could be trusted in this kind of world. At the last moment, even your own teammates could betray you and snatch all the rewards for themselves.

"Why do people want to play these games?" Xing Ye asked, "What happens if you press 'No' instead of 'Enter' on the prompt?"

He played the games to investigate the cause of his little brother's death, but what about other players?

"Once a player enters the game, they can't leave until they clear the level. If they choose 'No', the system will automatically assume the player's given up on 'challenging fate' and renounced their own 'fate', which would thus be terminated." The black and white rubix cube explained, "However, we generally don't remind the players of this. After all, everybody has the right to give up their own life."

A smile pattern formed on the cube's surface, its familiar malice clear.

This was targeting all the players, not just Xing Ye alone. The black and white rubix cube represented the system. It wouldn't harm players, but it wouldn't help them either. It just sat loftily above them, maliciously watching the players' desperate struggles.

"What happens if you win?" Xing Ye asked again.

The black and white rubix cube: "Winning means 'defeating fate' and would naturally mean becoming a winner at life. Since this player asked, I'll give a friendly tip. After surpassing 50,000 points, you can become a high level player and excess points can be traded at a 1:100 ratio of points to RMB. In other words, if a player has 100,000 points, then upon deducting the base 50,000, they would have five million RMB. The rewards for clearing the game is generous beyond any player's imagination, but they would only know once they got there."
