At that moment, the bloody countdown in Lynn’s field of vision suddenly spewed out, turning into a bloody curtain that immediately covered his surroundings.
His vision instantaneously became dark. For a moment he felt disoriented in the darkness.
In the dark.
Without warning, Lynn felt a violent sense of falling as though his mind had fallen from his body. Countless wails and cries filled his ears as his consciousness slowly faded then disappeared altogether, and finally seemed to turn into nothingness...
Lynn didn't know how long had passed. Time seemed to lose all meaning as he floated there in that state of formless awareness.
Finally, a ray of light pierced through the darkness, and Lynn's consciousness began to regain focus.
Still in a daze, Lynn gazed at the center of the light that surrounded him. A blood-red text slowly came into view through the blurriness, reflected in his eyes.
【 Welcome to Nightmare Paradise! 】
【 Dear player, congratulations! You have been chosen to join Nightmare Paradise! 】
【 Please read the following information carefully: 】
【 Nightmare Paradise is a world full of opportunities where you will participate in various types of dungeons with different content and clearance conditions. 】

When the bloody words were reflected in Lynn's pupils, he felt that his control over his body was gradually returning.
Looking around, he found himself lying on an operating table under a shadowless lamp. The room was sparse and sterile with white walls and tile floors. Medical instruments surrounded him, but there was no sign of any other people.
Lynn stood up with difficulty, his head spinning slightly from the sudden movement. But just as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly froze.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
In front of Lynn, only a few feet away, sat a lifeless body. Its head was slightly lifted, and its cloudy eyes seemed to be staring directly at Lynn as if it were alive. This sight caused Lynn to freeze in shock.
Lynn's heart raced as he stared at the lifeless body. He couldn't understand what was happening and his mind raced with questions. Was this some kind of sick game? Was he in danger?
As he was about to slowly step down from the operating table, a voice sounded in Lynn's mind. And at the same time, a transparent blue panel appeared in front of his eyes.
[Trial Dungeon Initiated!]
[You joined a Trial Dungeon, you got a temporary number F0001]
[Description: A sudden outbreak of a mysterious disease swept through the hospital, leaving chaos and despair in its wake. The people were caught off guard and unprepared. Those who succumbed to the disease did not simply die, but instead transformed into undying monsters. The remaining survivors, including you, were struggling in the ruins of the hospital, and their screams could be heard echoing through the corridors. The air is heavy with the stench of death and decay, and the hospital has become a place of terror and desperation!]
[Main mission: survive for five days, 0/5]
(Hint: A Trial Dungeon is a rare opportunity for every player!)
Lynn stared in shock at the blue panel floating before him. A mysterious disease? Undying monsters? His mind spun as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing.
Lynn intently examined the transparent blue panel floating before him, carefully examining its features.
He noticed that the panel was divided into several major sections, many of them grayed out and inactive. The only two active sections were titled [Personal Information] and [Information Reminder].
Between the two, the information about Nightmare Paradise’s rules and the trial dungeon were included in section [Information Reminder].
Lynn's mind moved slightly, and he clicked on [Personal Information].
[Player: Temporary Number F0001]
Class: [Doctor lv1] (0%)
Talent: (To be drawn)
Attributes:
[Strength 4] [Dexterity 7] [ Constitution 6] [ Intelligence 5] [Perception 6]
Class Skills: [Cell Proliferation]
General Skills: none
Equipment: none
Lynn gazed at the blue panel floating before him, taking in the information about his new identity in this strange place.
His eyes fell on his assigned class.
[Doctor]
Lynn let out a long breath. "A doctor at the beginning," he muttered. "Not the most exciting or powerful role."
Lynn's lips and mouth twitched slightly as he saw his assigned class. But he was not too frustrated, and his eyes fell on the talent "to be drawn".
In addition to the initial class, the unique talent is also very important.
If you can get a powerful talent, you can turn the tables.
"Let's extract the unique talent." Thinking of this, Lynn clicked on the text “To be drawn” without hesitation.
[Do you want to draw your unique talent? ]
Lynn paused only a moment before responding firmly.
"Yes!"
When he made this choice with his mind, the text displayed in the talent row flickered and immediately changed to scrolling gibberish.
About five minutes later, a talent appeared instead of the text “To be drawn”.
[Congratulations on getting the unique talent:]
[Gemini Soul]
(Hint: Please explore the functions of this talent!)
Lynn gazed at the talent he had drawn - Gemini Soul. At first, he was not sure what to make of it. Twin souls? Maybe because of his reincarnation in this world, he has two souls. But, how would that help him survive in this nightmare hospital?
Yet as Lynn focused his mind on his newfound talent, he felt a subtle shift within him. There was a sensation of duality.
As Lynn prepared himself to test his talent more extensively, he suddenly heard the unmistakable sound of a notification, causing his heart to skip a beat.
[Ding!]
[Starting the Trial Dungeon!]
