Chapter 8: Second Simulation
[Agile but distracted (Green): You have an extremely agile body compared to ordinary people, but you are easily distracted]
After a brief hesitation, Eren chose the green ability and checked how the girl beside him was doing. Meanwhile, Hana was smiling and drooling on Eren's shoulder while hugging Eren's arm with her arms and legs.
Eren remained unresponsive to this abnormal scene for a while, hoping that Hana's saliva would run out after a while, so he ignored her and focused on the simulation. In this world, he had a weak and diseased body. As long as he continued to have this body, a woman like Hana, who was not afraid to take risks, could do anything she wanted to him just like she was using him as a pillow right now.
Eren realized that as long as he continued to be weak, he would be humiliated by this woman, so he decided to focus more on the simulation. So far, he had only increased his health stat by 0.4 points, but already the effect could be felt. And not just physically; Eren's other stats started to spontaneously increase as his health improved like some kind of seal was opening.
Feeling his weak body again, Eren guessed that these stats could only increase by three points at most, depending on health, and turned his head to the system screen.
[You were born into a family with an engineering shop in Zaun]
Eren smiled, realizing that the engineering path was inevitable even if the simulation changed. Unless his character in the simulation was born as a special race, the engineering path would help him grow stronger the most. Eren imagined that the character in the simulation was the Iron Man of the world of Runeterra.
[A year later, when your parents saw you crawling around quickly, they smiled and laughed, saying that in the future you would have good physical qualities and be the king of the streets]
[One day when you were two years old, your mother didn't come back from shopping and your father got worried and went out, not caring that it was midnight. After the investigation, your father came home holding your mother's body. You continued to cry for a long time until you fainted from exhaustion]
[When you woke up in the morning, your mind was now sufficiently developed that you remembered who you were as a hologram appeared in front of you that read "Agile but distracted"]
Eren was confused as he read the writings on the last system box. He actually had a guess, but was it too absurd?
[It was quite surprising to discover that you didn't die after being buried under that rubble and that you were born in the body of a baby. Moreover, as you looked at the screen floating in the air in front of you, you thought that this screen looked very familiar to you, but you couldn't remember it. After a while, the screen disappeared and you went into the living room and met your father who had just come home after burying your mother's body]
Eren was surprised to realize that the simulated self had his memories from his previous lifetime. This would change everything. Earlier he had complained that the simulated character didn't know enough about that world, and now you've found a cure.
As the character in the simulation continues to reincarnate, he will inevitably try to become stronger at some point. No one wants to live the life of a baby and die over and over again because of their weakness. Eren prayed that the character in the simulation wouldn't become so attached to his father that it would affect the other simulations.
[After hugging you for so long, your father realized that you don't act like you used to. You want to suppress his suspicions by trying to act as two-years old as possible. You have the idea of discovering what is happening to you and most importantly you want to be the one who discovers what is happening to you]
[Three more years pass and your father is already used to your maturity. Once in a while you even surprise your father by building simple machines, and through him, you meet a lot of adults who are interested in machines. A fat friend of your father's wants to take you on as an apprentice and your father accepts without hesitation]
[As someone with almost fifteen years of memories, even though you don't really see your father as a father, you know how much he cares for you and you become an apprentice to this Benzo man without going against his words]
[Just two days after you become his apprentice, a civil war breaks out all over Zaun. Your father is forced to join this war on Vander's side and goes to an old bridge that connects the north bank to the south bank]
[The next day the war ended and Benzo came to your house to tell you that your father died as a hero. You are not sad about it, but the maturity of your years at the academy has made it impossible to see the expression on your face. Benzo decided to leave you alone for a while as he looked at your silence and left some mortar on the table before he left. After Benzo left, you really started to feel the pain of losing the first family you ever had and you cried silently for a while]
[It's been a month since your father died and Benzo said he was going to introduce you to two girls today. You rolled your eyes at Benzo and told him that the only woman you were interested in was his wife. You don't like Benzo because you see that he doesn't take the art of engineering seriously at all and that all he cares about is money, but you can't do anything about it. Benzo laughs at your words and says that he has no wife, to which you smile and say absolutely. Meanwhile, you keep playing with the clock in your hand and accidentally break it again. It reminds you of the hologram you get when you have a new memory. You have some guesses but no way to verify them]
[After a whole day of picking at Benzo's bleeding wound, he finally can't take it anymore and picks up an iron rod and starts chasing you. Ekko, another apprentice other than you, smiles as he watches the two of you running around and there is a knock on the door. As soon as you see the people coming, you stop running away from Benzo and look at them with widened eyes]
