Chapter 27: Reincarnation!

"Did I just die like this?"

Gunie looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

At this moment, after death, his perspective seemed fixed, tilted forty-five degrees downward.

The scene before him was gray and white, filled with an indescribable, hazy gray mist.

And within his field of view was the very room with the blood curse totem stone pillar where he had just inherited the blood curse master.

At this moment, his own "corpse," which had died from blood boiling and heart explosion due to the strange curse within the blood curse totem stone pillar, was lying in the blood pool.

He saw his own "corpse."

How bizarre this scene was, to say the least.

"I did die just now, yet now I am like this."

Gunie wanted to look around, but found he could not move, as if welded in place.

"Could it be because of the system?"

System!

Gunie thought with a mental command.

The realistic-style system page once again appeared in Gunie's vision.

"Indeed!" After staring at it for a moment, Gunie exclaimed.

At this moment, within the system page,

besides the two functions [AFK] and [Adventure],

a third function had now abruptly appeared: [Reincarnation].

"Back then, I happened to be near the three-hundred-year Dragon Source Fruit, which triggered the [Adventure] function."

"Now, it seems that because of my death, I... have triggered this [Reincarnation] function!"

"Reincarnation!"

With some urgency and delight, Gunie clicked open the [Reincarnation] function page.

[Reincarnation]

Through death, "reincarnation" can transform all negative states, curses, memes, aberrations, and even abnormal symptoms of life states into one's own supernatural talents, and obtain corresponding supernatural resistances.

After reincarnation, mental power, physical body, source power, and all related forces will undergo concentration and transformation.

One's own realm will decline to a certain extent.

Current reincarnation count: 6

...

After carefully browsing through the [Reincarnation] several times,

Gunie could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"This... is another heaven-defying function!"

Without a doubt, this [Reincarnation] is a powerful function no less than [AFK] and [Adventure].

In a sense, [Reincarnation] is even more powerful.

First.

Reincarnation can be used as resurrection.

There is no problem with this point; Gune's current situation is exactly that.

This alone is already heaven-defying.

You must know that in mythological history and legends, even the gods, when facing Ragnarök, would eventually fall silent and perish, never to return.

Even beings from myths and legends cannot be resurrected, yet Gune can.

Besides being able to resurrect,

his comprehensive abilities are also extremely powerful.

Transforming negative aspects into one's own 'extraordinary talent' through reincarnation.

Needless to say, this basically allows Gune to go down the path of self-indulgence without ever turning back.

Of course, Gune's temperament is not the flamboyant type.

But this can give Gune enough confidence when confronting those mysterious beings, even facing supernatural disasters.

Although there is the minor drawback of realm regression.

However, the point that 'mental power, physical body, source power, and all related forces will undergo concentration and transformation'

Gune, after a little thought, immediately understood its formidable aspect.

In many idle games, the main purpose of reincarnation is, after being unable to push through levels, to convert the level grade into one's own basic attributes and talents. This way, the speed of pushing through levels becomes faster.

The concentration and transformation of mental power is the same principle for me, a spellcaster.

"In the future, as I ascend through the layers of transcendence, I can harness the concentrated transformation of the reincarnation function. My spiritual power can easily cross certain bottlenecks and thresholds. And crossing these thresholds may be something that many transcendent beings seek their entire lives but never attain."

After examining, pondering, and deliberating back and forth for a while,

Gune had completely calmed his mind.

This reincarnation function could be considered one of his greatest trump cards at present.

If he hadn't died once, he truly wouldn't have been able to unlock this function.

Steadying his mind,

Gune once again looked back at the description of the reincarnation function.

"A curse transformed into one's own talent?"

"Just now, the terrifying power of the bloody dark curse was immense. It directly burst my heart."

"That evil, twisted dark curse power shouldn't be the blood curse of a Blood Mage."

"That being the case, the blood curse of the Blood Mage's own transcendent profession has also been passed into my body through the medium."

"In other words, I have two curses within me: one is my Blood Mage curse, and the other is that powerful bloody dark curse."

"Then I died, which is essentially a 'passive reincarnation.'"

"Thus, the terrifying curse power that killed me, along with the blood curse,"

"will both be transformed by my system through reincarnation into my transcendent talents."

"In this way, the Blood Mage's curse is directly resolved. This is somewhat unexpected."

A smile curled at the corner of Gune's mouth, if he still had one.

"However, others don't know that I've already resolved the 'Blood Mage' curse issue."

"If there really is an enemy who wants to target me on the night of the blood-red full moon..."

"This is a point I can exploit."

Although he could immediately reincarnate and revive.

But...

Gunie did not do so immediately.

Gunie simply waited in this floating, fixed perspective state.

After about ten or so minutes.

Only then did Gunie cautiously and carefully look around.

"The gray mist is noticeably thicker than before."

"This reincarnation is not unlimited; it must be performed within a certain time frame."

"I just wonder, what would happen if, after death, the body is dismembered, or even eaten by wild beasts. To be crueler, if someone grinds the bones to ashes and scatters them into a surging river or sea?"

"But given the powerful nature of the system, it should resurrect me in a reasonable way. As for the specifics, I'll have to explore slowly in the future."

Then Gunie pressed the reincarnation button after the number of reincarnations read "six."

Gunie's perspective began to rapidly zoom in.

"Six reincarnations—this exactly matches the six months since I arrived in this world. Through perception, I can tell that the number of reincarnations can be restored. Excellent!"

Inside the blood pool where the blood-cursed totem stone pillars stood.

Splash...

Gunie, his whole body soaked in blood, suddenly stood up.

"Cough, cough..."

When he died, he plunged headfirst into the blood pool, and a lot of blood entered his nasal cavity. Just revived, Gunie was choked and uncomfortable.

After coughing for a good while, Gunie's breath finally smoothed out.

After slightly cleaning up his miserable appearance from bathing in blood.

Gunie began to examine his own detailed condition.

The levels of the few spell scriptures he had been idling were fine.

Secret transit runes, four, unchanged.

Heavy curse runes, three, unchanged.

And his mental power, physical strength, and source power had all changed.

"Source power is noticeably less, about twenty percent."

"But the density of source power has clearly increased, by about ten percent."

"Increasing the capacity of source power is relatively easy, but increasing its density is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Many transcendents find it hard to condense high-density source power, yet I can gain density increases through reincarnation. This is indeed highly effective."

"At the same time, physical strength has weakened a lot, and even physical density has decreased, both by about twenty percent."

"But my body feels exceptionally smooth and unimpeded, and even my movements and steps are much more agile."

"This improves the talent of the body."

"With improved physical talent, my body will grow faster when idling, and the upper limit will be higher."

"Finally..."

Gunie's expression turned somewhat more serious.

"The most important thing is my mental power."

Gunie gently rubbed his temples.

Mental power, in the current academic world of transcendence, has been meticulously subdivided into many attributes.

Among them, the most important are "mental strength" and "mental magnitude."

Mental strength: This represents the fragility or toughness of mental power itself.

Strong mental strength can make the mind as unbreakable as a steel plate.

Weak mental power is like tofu, shattering upon impact.

Mental magnitude: This represents the quantity of your mental power.

Don't underestimate the attribute of "mental magnitude."

Those with abundant mental magnitude can have mental power overflow, forming "spiritual perception," with extremely strong insight.

At the same time, with strong "spiritual perception," one has complete ease in controlling spells.

Even after casting a spell, one can slightly adjust its flight trajectory for more precise strikes.

If mental magnitude is very weak, you cannot even become a spellcaster.

At this moment, Gunie's mental strength and mental magnitude had both decreased by about 20%.

But Gunie did not feel any discomfort.

"After reincarnation, my source power and body both sacrificed secondary attributes, enhancing potential and core attributes."

"As for mental power, both mental strength and magnitude are very important aspects, but they have been reduced."

"That is to say, what I have improved are deeper aspects of mental power that I cannot yet touch."

"Even though my mental strength and magnitude have both decreased by twenty percent."

"My perception seems clearer and more thorough than before."

"At the same time, my mental power bears those seven runes with more ease than before."

"Additionally, that powerful curse has been transformed into my own transcendent talent and my own acquired resistance."

"The improvement in transcendent talent is not something that can be felt immediately; it can only manifest through long-term cultivation, improvement, and learning."

"And transcendent resistance can also only manifest when attacked by corresponding negative transcendent traits."

"Overall... this reincarnation has brought me a reduction in 'quantity' and an enhancement in 'quality.'"

"This also fits the nature of reincarnation. After all, 'quality' is far more important than 'quantity.'"

"The extent of my strength reduction is not too great; perhaps it's related to my own strength being relatively weak."

"If my strength becomes great in the future, one reincarnation might reduce a lot."

After meticulously inspecting his own changes.

The last trace of worry and concern in Gunie's heart completely disappeared.

"Overall, reincarnation revival can only be used as a last resort for survival, not as capital for me to recklessly court death."

"When it's time to be steady, I must still be steady!"
