Jin Jiuchi stared unblinkingly at the screen, "The chosen one?"
"Yes," Shen Nianzu gave a sneer full of mockery. "That's how the Nightmare refers to us. Because we are the people chosen to go through deadly Cycles and deal with life-and-death situations on a constant basis."
But that's the price they had to pay for power, no? Jin Jiuchi had no idea whether it was his brain that was wired differently than others, but he felt like everything he had undergone was an equivalent exchange for magical powers such as skill card and props. According to Shen Nianzu, the Nightmare would even enhance their physique. One would give, and the other would receive. No matter from which angle Jin Jiuchi inspected it, it could be counted as a win-win situation, right?
…Of course, this only applied to Jin Jiuchi who thought of the Cycles as a spectacular vacation trip to see the world.
