Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 724 - 34: Fate’s Choice

[Verification in progress...]

[Hunter has completed the Talent Awakening Task, Completion: 95% (Extremely Excellent).]

[Assessment in progress...Assessment completed, as the Hunter’s Talent Awakening Task has a 95% completion, the Talent Ability will awaken by 43%, with the first awakening’s maximum awakening level being 45%.]

[Hunter, please ensure your location is safe, as you will be extremely weak during the Talent Awakening process.]

[Talent Awakening begins.]

As the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise ended, the Reincarnation Mark on Su Xiao’s arm became intensely hot, and his body began to weaken, his consciousness drifted into a daze. A few seconds later, he fell asleep on the bed—this was the protective mechanism of Reincarnation Paradise, as talent awakening is not an easy process.

In an utterly dark space, Su Xiao’s consciousness awakened, but he was greeted by complete darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a flash of light crossed before his eyes, seemingly a meteor.

Boom!

A buzzing rang in Su Xiao’s ears; it was not a meteor but a meteorite.

The meteorite shattered this dark space, and streams of white light surged from the cracks. When the white light shone on Su Xiao, his body melted away like snow.

"Su Xiao... Su Xiao, wake up, you’ll be late."

A faint voice called by his ear, and hearing this familiar sound, Su Xiao abruptly opened his eyes.

His mouth opened and closed, and moments later, Su Xiao shook his head. He was in the midst of awakening his talent ability, and everything he saw was a part of his memories.

Indeed, as the scene changed before him, Su Xiao was now standing on the road, his body smaller, seemingly only around 7 or 8 years old.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The piercing sound of a truck horn echoed, and Su Xiao turned his head uncontrollably, only to see an overloaded red truck rushing towards him.

Screech~

The tires left two dark tracks on the asphalt road as the monstrous truck struck Su Xiao.

Bang.

Everything spun, and Su Xiao’s vision turned red as the young body gradually lost life.

"Thump, thump..."

The heart of the small body pounded, its sound magnified to the extreme in Su Xiao’s ears.

Su Xiao knew what was coming next. Even though he had been hit by the truck and should have died, he miraculously survived, though he could not remember why, as he was so young back then. If it hadn’t been for the painful injections in the hospital, he might have forgotten about the accident entirely.

Even now, Su Xiao recalled the memory of that nurse from his childhood, whom he thought was a lifesaver, giving him a painful injection. He cried terribly at the time.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao laughed. Why was Reincarnation Paradise showing him this? As he wondered, the next scene left him astonished, 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

A young Su Xiao lay on the road, surrounded by a pool of blood. The pale, chubby driver knelt in front of him, his face filled with guilt and remorse. Just as Su Xiao was about to die, a ’seed’ inside him awakened, repairing his shattered internal organs, though his external injuries remained unchanged.

[Detection of Talent Seed activation exceeding 20%, repair completed, Reservist Contractor has stepped away from the brink of death, a total of 3,943 Reservist Contractors selected in this batch.]

A familiar line of text floated in midair, clearly a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, unnoticed by the onlookers of the car accident.

Seeing this, Su Xiao realized why Reincarnation Paradise was showing him this scene—it was the process by which he obtained his talent.

Some people’s talent abilities are innate, while others awaken their talent seeds later in life. Su Xiao belonged to the latter category.

Compared to those with innate talent abilities, postnatal talent seed awakenings tend to be weaker.

Of course, within Reincarnation Paradise, the strength of the awakened talent also depends on one’s life experiences. Evidently, Su Xiao belonged to the unlucky type.

A blessing in disguise, an unfortunate life granted him a stronger talent ability.

The scene changed again before Su Xiao’s eyes, and as his vision cleared, he found himself in a broad passage.

This road stretched infinitely, and Su Xiao rose from the ground, scanning his surroundings.

The surroundings revealed a dark steel passage, sealed on one side and stretching endlessly into the pitch-black distance on the other.

"Paradise?"

Su Xiao tried asking Reincarnation Paradise, but it did not respond. He surveyed the area and found only dark iron at every glance.

Attempting to knock on the steel with his hand, Su Xiao quickly realized that this passage was, in a sense, indestructible.

With no other options, Su Xiao could only walk toward the boundless side of the passage.

Marching forward, an endless journey forward, until Su Xiao’s footsteps became a habitual movement.

He didn’t know how long he had walked. His legs grew as heavy as lead, time and space losing meaning; perhaps he had walked for merely a second, or maybe years had passed.

"What kind of Talent Awakening is this?"

Su Xiao sighed. Could it be that he awakened a talent for running away? How could they make him keep walking? His talent should belong to the support growth type.

Just when Su Xiao’s legs were too heavy to lift, the scene before his eyes finally changed.

A trident road appeared ahead of the dark steel passage, forming three lanes with three distinct symbols above them.

The first lane had the symbol of a wooden stick, no, it should be a Magic Wand.

The second lane displayed a shield, emanating a sea blue light, seemingly combining mana and defense.

The third lane depicted a sharp sword, appearing freshly bloodied from slashing an enemy’s head.

"Fate... is yours to dominate."

A powerful and profound voice rang out, causing the black iron passage to hum. Su Xiao felt as though his consciousness might shatter.

After a few minutes of recovery, Su Xiao breathed heavily; the owner of that voice must be terrifying beyond comprehension. Forget battling; perhaps the entity could kill him with a mere glance.

For now, disregarding the voice’s origin, Su Xiao looked toward the three lanes ahead; it was now a matter of choice, a direction for his Talent Awakening.

The first lane awakens a talent inclined towards a Mage’s ability, immediately ruled out. The second was more intriguing; by the look of the shield, it seemed like a Tank talent. Su Xiao didn’t expect himself to have a potential for becoming a Tank.

Though surprised, Su Xiao would not develop toward the Tank path; being a Tank felt too stifling—taking hits without being able to strike back. Slashing was more exhilarating.

As for the third lane, Su Xiao only took a quick glance at the symbol on the lane before stepping towards it. Clearly, the third lane was meant for Close Combat.

The instant Su Xiao entered the third lane, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

[Tip: Does Hunter choose this type of talent inclination? According to Hunter’s physical attributes assessment, the success rate of mastering this talent is 70%, with a death likelihood of 29% and a 1% chance of unknown mutation.]

Su Xiao ignored the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise; he had no other choice.
