Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God

Chapter 135: The Stage of Fate, The Most Suitable Identity

After the ʼMagicianʼ introduced himself, Lin Yu maintained a calm exterior but was inwardly astonished.

”Someone from the ʼFree Allianceʼ?!”

In other words, this guy was in the same organization as Li Nian?

Moreover, the number of players in the ʼFree Allianceʼ was extremely limited...

This ʼMagicianʼ Phantom was undoubtedly a top-tier expert.

Adding to that, the previous two introductions of Li Hua and Radish also indicated they were no ordinary characters.

Lin Yu had reason to suspect that all players in this dungeon might have impressive backgrounds.

This was further evidenced by how unfazed the others appeared upon hearing the names Li Hua, Radish, and Phantom.

”Iʼm just a first-tier rookie whoʼs only completed three dungeons, truly stumbling into a high-level game by mistake,” Lin Yu mused inwardly.

The next self-introduction from a female player confirmed Lin Yuʼs suspicions.
The golden-haired girl leaned back with her hands behind her head, completely disregarding their high altitude as she rocked her chair by propping her feet on the table.

”I was planning to make up an identity, but with Li Hua and Phantom here, lying would be pointless.”

”Iʼm ʼFishʼ, ʼFishʼ from the ʼMaraudersʼ.”

She didnʼt mention her class.

Li Hua adjusted his glasses and added: ”ʼFishʼ, deputy head of the ʼMaraudersʼ Beijing branch. Class is... Unique Class, ʼFreelancerʼ.”

”Whatʼs your ability in this dungeon?”

Fish rolled her eyes: ”Why should I tell you? Donʼt think just because this dungeon favors cooperation that I have to play nice with you.”

”Refusing to cooperate then,” Li Hua remained unperturbed, merely pushing his glasses up again. ”Pity. That approach reduces your probability of winning.”

Fish spat: ”Says who? How do I know youʼre telling the truth?”

Listening to their exchange, Lin Yu felt even more shocked.

A Unique Class?!

This was the first time heʼd encountered another Unique Class player in a dungeon besides himself!

From Li Huaʼs words, it seemed Fishʼs abilities werenʼt fixed?

That sounded similar to his own situation!

And ʼFishʼ was indeed a renowned expert - Beijing was the headquarters of the ʼMaraudersʼ!

Beside Fish, a weathered man in a jacket cleared his throat: ”Ahem— everyone, I know your organizations have history, but no need to argue here.”

”Given that weʼre all capable players gathered here for ʼcooperationʼ... plus that octopus earlier mentioned ʼgodsʼ and recognized us as ʼplayersʼ from another world, this dungeonʼs difficulty must be high.”

”I donʼt recommend fighting among ourselves!”

”Call it giving me face— while Iʼm an independent player without an organization, the codename ʼMosin-Nagantʼ should carry some weight, no?”

Lin Yu wasnʼt surprised.

This man was another celebrity— a veteran player active on forums, famous for writing beginner guides for all players.

But he was more than just a friendly veteran.

Anyone whoʼd downloaded the popular ”Huntersʼ Association” app knew...

ʼMosin-Nagantʼ was among the strongest known bounty hunters.

One of the few whoʼd completed million-level bounties solo.

His class was the relatively rare and combat-capable ʼHunterʼ.

Radish also mediated with a chuckle: ”Well said. Young peopleʼs tempers are understandable, but weʼre all veterans... turning against each other before understanding the dungeonʼs situation is unnecessary.”

With these two neutral voices speaking, both Li Hua and Fish backed down from their argument.

Mosin-Nagant gestured to the woman beside him.

She had short hair and wore a dirty white T-shirt with gray sweatpants.

Under everyoneʼs gaze, she nervously adjusted her collar.

”Uh, hello everyone, Iʼm ʼRobinʼ...”

”ʼRobinʼ of the ʼNight Watchmenʼ.”

”My class is ʼPainterʼ.”

After this rushed introduction, she fell silent.

Radishʼs eyes lit up: ”Robin of the Night Watchmen? Hearing about you pales compared to seeing you!”

”I just had dinner with your colleagues Snowy Owl and Seagull last week! Haha!”

Li Hua also looked relieved.

Lin Yu understood Li Huaʼs reaction perfectly.

Of the three previous introductions, two were from the ʼFree Allianceʼ and ʼMaraudersʼ— opposing factions to ʼOrderʼ.

While ʼMosin-Nagantʼ maintained a friendly forum persona, as a regular bounty hunter, he was dangerous and ungovernable.

Though Radish held high status, Lin Yu had heard the old man wasnʼt particularly combat-oriented.

His abilities leaned toward support— even logistical supply.

Having ʼRobinʼ the ʼPainterʼ from ʼNight Watchmenʼ here balanced things out.

Judging by Li Hua and Radishʼs reactions, theyʼd heard of ʼRobinʼ before.

But Lin Yu hadnʼt— making her currently the most mysterious person present.

From Mosin-Nagant, Fish and Phantomʼs expressions, they didnʼt seem familiar with Robin either.

And ʼRobinʼ appeared uncomfortable with Radishʼs enthusiasm.

Rubbing her pants nervously, she muttered: ”Yes... Snowy Owl and Seagull are nice people...”

”Itʼs just... um...”

Li Hua noticed her discomfort and coughed: ”Ahem, letʼs continue!”

He then looked at Lin Yu beside him.

Seeing Lin Yuʼs smile, Li Hua looked visibly uneasy.

”Your turn.”

Lin Yu observed the six other playersʼ expressions— including ʼFishʼ from the Marauders and ʼPhantomʼ from the Free Alliance— all wore guarded, wary looks.

They unmistakably recognized Lin Yuʼs current appearance.

Though before falling, Lin Yuʼs fabricated ”false identity” had been merely an audacious experiment.

Yet fateʼs coincidence had constructed the perfect stage for this ”role”.

No...

This dungeon, this stage, might itself be the God of Fateʼs blessing upon Lin Yuʼs nearly reckless actions.

”Fine. Since you all seem to recognize me... for your peace of mind, Iʼll introduce myself properly.”

Leaning forward with one hand on the table, he smiled.

”Gentlemen, I am ʼFluoxetineʼ.”

”ʼFluoxetineʼ of the ʼPsychological Societyʼ.”
