The Gods' Fool Play novel series

The breeze is blowing gently and the moon is shining brightly.

On the rooftop of a super high-rise building, Cheng Shi sat on the edge of the roof, his legs dangling in the air, enjoying his trophy of the day.

What he was chewing was the most common Blood Finger Bread among the rewards of the [Food Trial]. The shape of this bread was exactly the same as a human finger, and even the touch was exactly the same.

Only when you taste the cranberry jam bursting in your fingers when you put it in your mouth can you confirm that this thing is really just a food, not a severed finger.

Unfortunately the bread was waxy, the jam was sour, and the C-grade food was not tasty.

But none of these prevents it from providing energy, and providing energy means that it can sustain life.

Yes, in today's world, staying alive is the most important thing.

Ever since the coming of the [Gods] half a year ago, the real world has long been transformed into an absurd [game of faith].

Everyone in the world must choose to embark on a [destiny], believe in one of the [gods], and live with the god's blessing in this broken and unreal reality.

The reason why it is called broken is that the entire world has been divided into countless fragments by the gods.

All people, or [players] now called [God's Believers], are randomly assigned to survive in a fragment.

Just like Cheng Shi, the place where he was assigned was the rooftop of an unknown building.

The rooftop is about two hundred square meters. Although the space is large, there is no shelter. Not only is it exposed to the wind and sun, there is not even a piece of cloth to wrap yourself.

The most difficult thing was that there were air walls all around the roof. Even though the door to go downstairs was right at hand, he couldn't pass through the air walls and go downstairs.

Unless you start the "trial" related to the extended space and pass it successfully, you can break through the surrounding air wall obstacles and gain a larger living space.

And this also involves the "unreality" mentioned earlier!

The world was physically divided, society completely stopped functioning, and players who had lost all resource support were able to survive for more than half a year only because the game could give them everything they wanted.

In this game, all "resources" need to be obtained by participating in the [Wish Trial]. From "food, clothing, housing and transportation" to "God-given power", as long as you dare to make a wish, the gods will send down the [God's Trial Field] and match you with corresponding teammates.

Work together with your teammates to pass the trial, and everything you pray for will be granted by the [God] and appear before your eyes out of thin air.

The more outrageous the wish, the more difficult the trial will be.

Not only that, each trial will increase various scores, allowing you to go further on the road of trials.

Of course, if you are a socially anxious person, you can also choose a solo trial, but the solo trial will not increase any score, and the rewards given are barely usable.

Players who have survived to the present have long been accustomed to everything in the game, and many of them have become masters of this game.

Cheng Shi sat on the roof, swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and looked up at the game information in his field of vision.

Current number of believers worldwide:

In just half a year, only two-thirds of the world's 12 billion people remain.

[Faith Game] is not an absolutely safe game. Death in the game means death in reality as well.

But if you do not accept the trial of God, you will not be able to obtain the supplies and resources needed to survive.

So the purpose of the game is obvious: only by becoming stronger can you survive to the end.

"One day left..."

Looking at the eye-catching red text reminder in the center of his field of vision, Cheng Shi sighed.

[Game of Faith] will not let players live in disgrace. It will automatically match players with a [Special Trial of God] every seven days.

This trial is extremely difficult. If players fail to pass it successfully, even if they survive by chance, they will be deprived of the ability to take part in the [Prayer Trial] in the next cycle.

In other words, failure means no income in the following week and one can only use up stored food!

To be honest, Cheng Shi had a lot of surplus food on the rooftop. After operating for half a year, he had built two warehouses on the rooftop.

Although the supplies in the warehouse were of poor quality, they at least provided sufficient guarantee for his survival.

"I hope the teammates I'm matched with this time are more reliable. After being cheated last week, a lot of food was wasted last week, and the inventory in the warehouse has been reduced to the warning line..."

He was just thinking about how to deal with tomorrow's challenges when he suddenly heard a greeting from a distance.

"Hey, man, how's your catch today?"

Cheng Shi looked up and saw that the sound came from the "resident" on the top floor next door, a young man with long hair and trendy clothes.

The colorful and strangely shaped clothes he wore were the "newest" styles he got from participating in the trial.

Xie

Although the real world is separated by air walls, these invisible walls do not block light and sound, or even prevent people from throwing objects at each other, except for restricting the players' movements.

That is why most neighborhood relations are not friendly, because you never know when your neighbor will pull out a submachine gun and shoot you.

The game does not forbid players from killing each other.

Cheng Shi does have several neighbors where he lives, and the one on the rooftop of the opposite building is one of them.

The two sides were about 20 to 30 meters apart, and communication was purely through shouting.

He claimed to be from Jiangxi Province, a senior student studying civil engineering, and his last name was Xie.

He's a little bit neurotic, but not a bad person.

Before the gods came, I was worried about how to find a job, but I didn’t expect that after the gods came, I would get a job directly.

After all, there are no jobs in the world anymore, and speaking objectively, [professional gamers] do count as employment.

So he is one of the few "Adventists" who believe that the gods saved the world, or at least saved the world's employment rate.
