simulation: from mortal to immortal

"What? How did I die? Who would even dare to kill me? Aren't they afraid of my family's revenge?"

Ding! Would you like to start the rewards distribution?

Still confused about what had happened, I said, "Yes."

Ding! Choose 3 of the 6 rewards:

Talent: Danger Perception (Yellow)

Awakening of the Chaos Bone (???)

Awakening of the Supreme Heavenly Body (???)

A Torn Escape Talisman

A Bottle of Detoxification Pills

Information About the Assassins

Without hesitation, I decisively chose the first three rewards—for obvious reasons.

Ding! Distributing the rewards…

At that moment, time stopped flowing.

A river appeared before me, and shortly after, my dead body surfaced. It still had a look of relief, as if celebrating its escape from death.

Then, three white lights emerged from my corpse and were absorbed into me. Slowly, time resumed its normal flow.

I was still deep in thought.

Wait… Could it be that the reason I was instantly killed was because of the Awakening of the Chaos Bone and the Supreme Heavenly Body?

It seemed plausible. If my killer wanted me dead, he could have easily done it much sooner, given his strength.

But that still doesn't explain where my protector was when I was attacked.

Had he betrayed me?

No, that's impossible. He swore a blood oath.

Then… could something have happened to him without me noticing?

The more I thought about it, the more questions arose. I knew that the only way to verify my suspicions was to continue simulating.

So, without hesitation, I started the next simulation.

Simulation Starting…

Acquired Talent: As Quick as a Flash (yellow)

You are much faster than others in the same realm. Even against opponents one or two realms higher, you can still escape. However, this advantage is limited to the early realms you cannot be faster then a 9th realm exper while being in the 8th realm.

The speed boost is around 3x

1st Day

Nothing special happened. You spent the day studying the Chaos Bone and the Supreme Heavenly Body.

You retrieved a cultivation technique from your storage ring. Previously, you were unable to cultivate, but now, you wanted to see if that had changed.

And it had.

Your cultivation speed was unbelievably fast—you broke through the first realm in just an hour. It was unheard of. In a single day, you advanced to the second realm.

2nd Day

Just like before, while returning from the party, you encountered the same girl on the street. You picked her up again and brought her home.

However, this time, you instructed your protector to stand in a position where he would always remain in your line of sight.

He followed your orders.

As you detoxified the girl, you carefully observed your protector's every move.

Then, a flash of light appeared—it was about to enter your room. Your protector immediately reacted and stopped it.

He was about to chase after the light, but you ordered him to stay.

Your questions had been answered.

In the last simulation, your protector had not died or Neither betrayed you.

Time passed, and just like before, the same man arrived, attempting to kill you.

But this time, your protector was there.

He stopped the man, and you ordered him to capture the man alive.

Your protector obeyed. He restrained the man and brought him before you.

You began your interrogation.

His name was Li Chen.

He was the personal bodyguard of the girl you had saved.

Once you got the information you needed, you gave the order.

"Kill him."

Li Chen's expression twisted with rage. Just as he was about to die, a white flame suddenly erupted from his ring, blocking your protector's attack.

Taking advantage of the moment, he attempted to escape.

At the last second, however, your protector caught up and nearly killed him.

Just when he was on the verge of death—he broke through.

Flames surrounded his body, making him even stronger.

Even so, he was still no match for your protector.

But then—he broke through again.

At the cost of his arm, he reached the sixth realm—and escaped.

"Fuck… Is he the Son of Fortune or something? How can he turn every crisis into an opportunity?"

3rd Day

Annoyed that Li Chen had escaped, you didn't let it bother you too much.

His severed arm still had a storage ring on it.

When you checked inside, you were stunned.

He had enough cultivation resources to rival a seventh-realm expert.

Although you came from a wealthy family, you never had access to many cultivation resources due to your inability to cultivate.

Now, things were different.

Using his resources, you began cultivating.

By the end of the day, you had broken through to the third realm.

4th Day

After thinking it over, you decided to contact your main family and inform them about the assassination attempt.

They were furious.

Immediately, they began investigating the incident.

Meanwhile, you continued cultivating.

5th Day

More cultivation.

6th Day

You felt that you were close to breaking through to the fourth realm.

Just as you were about to break through—

A white flash appeared.

Your protector was killed instantly.

Before you could react—

They attacked you.

…

You're dead.
