The Wasteland.
Somewhere...
"Ahaha, that Ring of the Hunt really did reassemble, huh? Even if it was only for a brief moment, as long as we find the Overcomer Core, it can be restored."
The shadowy figure representing Death had somehow procured a nose and attached it to its own face.
It grinned widely, standing amidst the thick Gray Fog.
Beside it, a winged eyeball floated silently.
"Alright, alright~ I know you're on the side of those Train Conductors. Don't worry, the so-called 'pinnacle of Wind' is just a joke~ A fool who's been deceived by lies for so many years, in the end, only accidentally connected to the Wind of the End."
"What true pinnacle is there~"
"What I hate the most are things like Gods."
The shadowy figure propped its chin on its hands. Shadowy lifeforms identical to it continuously coalesced, finally forming the shape of a train's locomotive section.
It sat atop the locomotive, and another shadow condensed into a conductor's cap, which it placed on its head.
"How is it? Do I look like a Train Conductor? Tell me, if I also entered the Wasteland starting from the first station~ wouldn't that be incredibly fun~"
The Gray Fog silently watched it.
"So..."
"Which side do you think I should stand on?"
"Humans, or... those fools who call themselves Gods?"
"Ohoho, I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I just want to bring people death, not some grand End. If everything truly ended, no one would die anymore, especially not that interesting human, Ye, Qi, Yan~"
A tongue extended from the shadow's mouth, licking non-existent lips.
"It's been so many years since I came out to play from the Death Realm. Hey~ tell the System you're cooperating with to open a backdoor for me. I want to play at being a Train Conductor~
Of course, I understand, only humans can directly become Train Conductors~"
"So, I'll carefully craft myself some eyes~ and become human. Well, at the very least, I need to have some human elements~"
The Gray Fog churned.
An inexplicable sense of oppression closed in on the shadow from all sides.
"Relax, I'll give the train system a new authority and agreement, an agreement named Death~"
"Oh right, in human terms, this is a transaction."
"A very fair transaction."
The shadow removed its nose again, seemingly dissatisfied.
It molded a new nose once more, diligently sniffing the air.
"So, shall we? The transaction~"
The Gray Fog gradually stilled.
The winged eyeball slowly vanished.
And right in front of the shadowy figure.
At the center of the locomotive section composed of shadows.
A device meant to carry the system materialized out of thin air.
[Bzzzt—]
[Train Conductor ID: A-0-0]
[Countdown to entry into the Wasteland: Ten Days]
[Name: None (Self-named)]
[Race: ...Human? / (Death)]
[Train Level: 1]
[Stamina: 0]
[Spirit: ???]
[In ten days, a batch of Train Conductors from Sectors like yours will enter the Wasteland.]
[Note: This is a special deployment of Train Conductors. Only Train Conductors from a total of one hundred Sectors will enter, numbering ten thousand individuals.]
[Furthermore, once the number of people drops below a certain threshold, a merger will occur with the previous batch of Train Conductor Sectors.]
[Your Sector is: A-0]
The shadowy figure flashed inside the carriage. It gently stroked the device carrying the system, and despite having no eyes, its face—which only had a nose and mouth—still managed to show an expression of delight.
"Such an anticipated... no, even enviable power. Transcending time and space, even I cannot perceive how it was deployed here."
"And, a name, let me think."
It poked its own mouth.
"Come to think of it, humans seem to distinguish between male and female."
"As for a name... Mo Shi."
"Mm, let's go with Mo Shi."
"Ten days, ahaha, I actually find ten days to be so long. Truly something to look forward to~ In the future... if I meet Ye Qiyan, will he recognize me? Hehe~"
Its voice... changed...

The Hanging Gardens.
Guild Headquarters.
[Level 8 Station World · Wind Wind Shopping Mall · Station Lord · Fengfeng]
The girl with the loli physique silently stared at the Light Screen before her.
[The Wind of the Wasteland has died.]
[The Wind requires a new controller.]
[The current control authority is held by the train system and will not be returned to the Wasteland's Wind itself.]
[Only a Train Conductor may obtain this authority.]
["You are the Wind, you are qualified to obtain it."]
["You need to level up, starting from scratch. Among the upgrade options at a certain level, there will exist [Wind of Overdrive]."]
[Name: Fengfeng / Fengli Dar]
[Race: Human / Wind]
[Train Conductor ID: A-1-05]
[Current Train Level: 1 (Reset to Zero)]
[In ten Wasteland days, you will be assigned to the newest batch of Sector A-1.]
["You cannot refuse."]
["Because the Wind must be punished."]
"......"
————
The Wasteland, inside a house built from monster bones.
A man wearing a smiling mask and holding a scythe looked outside.
"The wind has finally stopped. Come, let's go out and hunt for some food."
The Smiling Face Person.
That former Forward Station Guide whom Ye Qiyan had banished and saved.
Just as he was leading a large pack of hunting dogs out to forage, holding their ropes.
RUMBLE—
A train's locomotive section crashed down from the void in the sky, landing right in front of him.
Trembling, the Smiling Face Person walked into the locomotive, whose door had opened for him.
Looking at the information displayed on the device carrying the system interface, a stream of tears flowed from his eyes.
["You are human."]
[Name: Forgotten]
[Train Conductor ID: A-9-4931]
[Train Level: 1]
[Race: Human]
[In ten days, become a Train Conductor of the additional batch entering the Wasteland, starting from the beginning.]
[This batch is rather special. Among them, some humanoid beings or lifeforms possessing the concept of 'human' will join.]
[Good luck.]
[Once the number of people decreases, a merger will occur with the previous batch of Train Conductor Sectors.]
"I... I am... human..."
He removed his mask. On his faceless, void-like visage, clear tears streamed down.
"Thank you!"
——
[You have become a Train Conductor.]
——
[In ten days, you will become a new Train Conductor entering the Wasteland.]
——
[You... are human.]
——
Countless worlds.
One million trains.
One million people.
Now that the Wind of the End has been extinguished.
They have received a new invitation.
A new batch of Train Conductors will descend ten days later.
Arriving early, due to Death's playfulness.
This time, the number is only a million, yet it seems... some particularly special existences have joined in.
This piece of news.
For now...
Remains unknown to all.
