Chapter 1: Walking the Infinite Uchiha
Added 2024-09-07 14:31:58 +0000 UTC"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you really want to... live?"
Cold, trembling.
Kouga suddenly opened his eyes.
The eerie whisper by his ear vanished.
Then, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
He seemed to be inside a primitive wooden cabin.
—So, where exactly is this?
—Damn that weasel Uchiha Itachi!
—Who arranged this transmigration? I landed right in the night of the clan's massacre!
Memories surged through his mind.
As someone hit by a dump truck and transmigrated to the world of Naruto without a system, Kouga found himself in the Uchiha clan’s territory.
However, just as he began absorbing fragments of memories, he had no time to dream before his throat was slashed, and he quickly “logged off” in a flash!
Truly, he didn’t even get to participate in the plot.
Luckily, Uchiha Itachi's blade was swift, so he didn’t feel any pain before dying.
So… have I transmigrated again?
Whose voice was that just now?
"To hell with this! Where have they sent me now? Is this still the Naruto world?"
Questions piled up, but as an experienced transmigrant, he suppressed his unease to avoid letting his thoughts spiral out of control.
At the same time...
Various noises surrounded him—whispers, shouts—both male and female, some young, some old.
Clearly, he wasn’t the only one who woke up in this strange place.
A group kidnapping... true life... the meaning of life...
Dressed in a sleek ninja outfit, Kouga sat on the ground, analyzing the situation, feeling an ever-growing sense of familiarity.
The answer was on the tip of his tongue.
Just one more clue.
Then he lowered his head and suddenly noticed a strange watch on his right wrist.
The screen was large, but instead of showing the time, it displayed several lines of fine text—
*[Alien vs. Predator World]*
*[Location: Antarctica, Abandoned Whaling Station]*
*[Main Mission: Survive the Trial]*
*[Reward: All members receive one C-level side mission and 2,000 points]*
The God-Space?!
Finally, Kouga understood why that sense of familiarity had been nagging at him.
After all, whether it was the original series or its derivatives like Nightmare Space or Bloody City, he had read about them in endless stream novels.
“Damn it!”
“We’re trapped!”
As this realization hit, he saw a young white man walk shakily toward the door, his hands fumbling in the air.
And with his movements, Kouga could clearly see a vague barrier outline in the air, as if some bowl-shaped force field had locked the eight of them inside this room!
That's right—there were eight "reincarnators," including Kouga.
Five men and three women.
Two were Black, three were white, and three were Asian.
“No phone signal.”
“Aliens! We must’ve been abducted by aliens!”
“Why does a UFO look like this?”
“No, it’s all an illusion! Everything’s fake! Hahaha! I’m already dead! And I don’t even understand English, so how can I understand what you’re saying?!”
The wooden cabin turned chaotic—there was a woman screaming, an older man wailing, and a young guy filming everything on his phone.
Everything was descending into chaos.
Only Kouga, who had pieced things together, remained calm. He quickly scanned everyone, making a basic judgment in his mind—
I’ve likely joined a newly-formed reincarnation team.
None of them seem like hidden powerhouses, and there's no guide here.
Plus, I’ve inherited an Uchiha body and fragments of memory on how to use ninjutsu. My combat power far exceeds that of ordinary people, so I need to seize control and try to become the team leader.
Only by doing this can I ensure my survival in this harsh world!
So...
"God."
He silently called out in his mind.
Instantly, a surge of foreign knowledge appeared in his head, all about life and survival…
The situation became clearer.
Time to act—time to earn his first fortune.
According to conventional wisdom, explaining things to newcomers is always a stable and safe way to make money.
“Everyone, quiet down!”
Cutting off his thoughts, Kouga raised his voice just enough to make sure everyone in the cabin could hear him. “Think carefully. What happened to you right before you came to this world?”
“It must’ve triggered something, giving you this special treatment.”
He spoke vaguely, not mentioning the classic pop-up window, Yes or No, since he didn’t know which type of god he was dealing with.
“I was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer, and when the doctor asked about end-of-life care, a voice rang in my ear, asking if I wanted to understand the meaning of life.”
The room fell silent for a moment before a tall, sickly woman with needle marks on her arms answered first.
“Congratulations. You’ve survived your first trial, and you’ll soon find that disease isn’t as terrifying as it seems.”
Kouga nodded, softening his tone.
“I was speeding around a curve and flew off a cliff when that voice suddenly sounded.”
“About the same.”
Responses followed one after another.
Good, it seemed none of these newbies were the type to go berserk or lose their minds.
Just as Kouga was thinking this, the bowl-shaped force field flickered, revealing a countdown:
*10:00*
*09:59*
...
With a quick glance, Kouga, now certain he had entered the Infinite World, adopted a solemn expression and said, "It seems we all agree—each of us was destined to die, but now the God has given us rebirth."
"Now, think deeper. Call out to the God in your heart. He left a message deep in your mind."
With that, a keyword triggered.
These newcomers began receiving unfamiliar memories, and their eyes no longer reflected pure ignorance.
Simultaneously, as Kouga finished speaking, he heard the God’s voice in his mind.
*[Task Completed—Newcomer Explanation. 500 Reward Points Earned.]*
The plan worked—he got the hidden bonus for explaining things to newbies.
But... 500? Quite generous.
This might not be one of the original setups; it could belong to a different type of world. Oh well, no harm done, at least I won’t have to face Jiege.
Everyone knows that the Zhongzhou team is too much to handle.
“Infinite reincarnation world?”
The tall woman, the first to respond to Kouga’s question, whispered again, muttering about the information she had received:
"A great being known as the ‘God’ rewrites destinies, pulling us from our original worlds and throwing us into infinite movie, novel, anime, and game worlds. We face test after test, crossing life and death in an endless cycle."
"And the watch on our wrists updates with our tasks, guiding our actions."
"Exactly." Kouga raised his wrist. "The main task is mandatory. Side tasks depend on each person’s skills and opportunities."
"Right now, our main mission is to survive this Predator trial. Hold out until we return to the safety of the God’s domain. There, you’ll receive your rewards and rest until the next assignment."
