Survive for all and get a D-class simulator

The instant he plunged into darkness, Lin Ye's feet touched the ground, the world flipped, and he stood once more on the white flagstone path.

“Still wanted to take a gamble, didn’t expect such good luck.”

Lin Ye wasn't actually sure either. There were clearly three ways to escape, and he simply chose the one with the highest probability. If he had chosen wrong, he was prepared to bear the consequences.

Looking around, the Abyss Church was gone. He had been teleported outside a dilapidated, dark red church.

“Huh?”

Lin Ye carefully observed the patterns carved on the outer wall of the church, and found they were somewhat similar to the symbols on the crimson nun's habit.

“If you were planning this, couldn’t you have just sent me here directly?”

Lin Ye couldn't help but complain.

Of course, he didn't think the crimson nun could influence the system to such an extent. He wasn't even sure if this abandoned church was related to her at all.

Nevertheless, Lin Ye pushed open the door of the abandoned church.

The interior of the church wasn't much better than the outside. One side of the wall had completely disappeared, and the remaining walls were covered with red-black plants. There was no wind here, yet these plants trembled slightly, like rows of insects connected head to tail, clinging to the wall.

Several broken pews were arranged in the center of the church. On the foremost pew sat a monster.

It resembled a haphazardly pieced-together mass of flesh, with fleshy tentacles growing all over its body.

Lin Ye approached the monster. He couldn't tell what rank of mutated creature it was. With his current physical abilities, he couldn't defeat any rank, so he was prepared to restart.

“Hello.”

The monster was surprisingly polite, and its voice was quite pleasant, like that of a young woman.

“Hello.”

After experiencing the previous few churches, Lin Ye had gained some understanding of this place, so he wasn't in a hurry to speak.

“This is a church without a god. I can't send you out. You can leave.”

The monster said very directly.

“The crimson nun sent me here. Do you know what she wants me to do?”

Lin Ye decided to be straightforward. He had always been like this.

“...Are you sure?”

The monster suddenly became serious. Slender tentacles wrapped around Lin Ye, and the plants on the wall slowly undulated, ceaselessly repeating like breathing and a heartbeat.

“I'm sure.”

Lin Ye was ready to commit suicide at any time.

“Very well. You are to inherit the godhood and become the god of this church.”

The monster was also very straightforward.

“...Are you kidding me?”

Lin Ye didn't know how to react for a moment. He really couldn't connect himself with a god.

“Gods are beacons in the spiritual world. Our god was swallowed by the abyss, so we need a new god. In this way, the beacon will reappear, and perhaps our god can return from the abyss.”

“I don't know why the nun chose you as the new god, but I respect the nun's choice. After all, she was once the closest person to the god.”

The monster didn't waste words, nor did it say those difficult-to-understand theories, but used a few short sentences to explain their purpose.

“What do I need to give up? And what can I gain?”

As long as the price was right, Lin Ye didn't mind getting a new job.

“Do you know about runes? If you inherit the godhood, you can obtain a systematic knowledge of runes through the godhood, and even knowledge beyond runes. As for the price, the godhood is the price. You will become a beacon, no longer able to believe in other gods, and the god was swallowed by the abyss, so the godhood is naturally contaminated. But you are already connected to the abyss, so this is not so important.”

After the monster finished speaking, it looked at Lin Ye, waiting for him to make a decision.

“How can it not be important that the godhood is contaminated by the abyss?”

Lin Ye questioned.

“As long as you come into contact with the abyss beyond a certain limit, only becoming a god can resist the erosion of the abyss. This has nothing to do with time, distance, or dosage, but only with spiritual will. Of course, some powerful relics and certain beings can also block this erosion.”

The monster glanced at Lin Ye, and continued meaningfully:

“You are lucky, but it won't always be this good.”

“I agree.”

Lin Ye didn't think the system could protect him forever either. The Abyss Gate was on the shelter wall. Sooner or later, he would have to control that door himself.

Moreover, according to the monster's description, a god seemed to be a profession with its own rune system, which was similar to changing jobs to become a god.

“Very well, the deal is done.”

The monster tore open its body, took out a shining light particle from it, and placed it on top of Lin Ye's head.

The light particle flowed into Lin Ye's body like a liquid. Lin Ye didn't feel anything, as if the light particle didn't exist.

“...Is that it?”

Lin Ye felt that he had been cheated. How could a god with no sense of ritual and no feeling be so much like a scam?

“You are too weak. You don't even have the qualifications to connect to the godhood now. If you force the connection, your brain will explode. But don't worry, you are now the god of this church. As long as you walk out of the church, you can leave this place and return to the original world.”

The monster zipped up the flesh on its chest like a zipper, and pulled out a card from a pocket-like stomach bag on its side and handed it to Lin Ye.

“This is a gift, Lord God. I will always pray for you here.”

【Received a gift. Complete the simulation with the gift, and you can bring the gift back to the shelter】

Lin Ye took the card. He still wanted to ask the monster some questions about advancement, but he felt a discomfort.

“You should leave. Those who enter obtain the godhood, and the connection is about to be cut off. If you don't leave, you will have to stay here forever.”

“Goodbye.”

Lin Ye got up and walked to the door of the church. Before pushing open the door, he turned back and said:

“My name is Lin Ye. I still don't know your name.”

“You can call me Saintess. As for the name, I forgot it long ago.”

Walking out of the church, the prison carriage and the supervisors were still in place. They obviously didn't expect Lin Ye to come out alive.

… … … … … …

Lin Ye woke up from the bed. The crimson nun was still kneeling in place, with no changes to her posture or the breakfast beside her.
