I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

Five familiar talents, and compared to the first simulation, the quality of the nodes given by this simulation is much higher.

This made Ekaros give up the idea of ​​using his precious distortion points to refresh the nodes.

For this simulation, Ekaros still holds the same idea and wants to go the traditional route of developing a villain heroine.

Therefore, she chose Node 2 and Node 4 without hesitation.

Finally, after hesitating for a moment between node one and node five, he directly chose node five.

The reason for this choice is very simple. After all, Node 1 looks strange no matter how you look at it. As soon as Ekaros saw the three words "other world", he felt that the world would be very dangerous, and there might even be things like time suspension, hypnosis, overlapping worlds, and other incomprehensible things.

Even though he had great power, Ikaros did not dare to go to that strange world to gamble whether he could be stronger than the strange abilities in the other world.

Therefore, you cannot choose directly.

The reason why Ekaros directly ignored node three is even simpler.

This option is really too extreme. Ekalos feels that if he chooses this node, he may not have to cultivate a villain heroine in the end.

After all, when the time comes and she raises the wind of 'Khorne', she will be the biggest villain in the world.

This is obviously not in line with the purpose of the simulation.

So for his own bright future, Ikaros finally chose Node 2, Node 4, and Node 5 to assist Node 2.

And in this way, Ikaros can have great power and talent, and can also maintain his own 'heart' while having great power.

It can be said that it is a very good start.

And it was also a little bit of Ekalos's thought... She hoped that when the rewards were finally settled, they would be a little more generous.

After all, simulation is simulation and reality is reality.

This week, Ekaros has been paying close attention to the news from Kazdel, but the news about Theresa is exactly the same as before. There is no sudden appearance of a missing person notice, or news about Theresa's temperament changing drastically.

Therefore, the Sakta girl also implicitly and completely believed in the system's statement that "simulation is simulation, reality is reality."

[The host's chosen talent has been determined, and the simulation begins. 】

【Time: Terra calendar year ? ? ? 】

【Location: Da Yan territory.】

[The simulation officially begins.]

……

['Who are you? Why were you born here? What is the meaning of your life? ']

[…This is the doubt your hazy consciousness gained at the beginning of its birth.]

[The figure of the being who raised the doubt was vague and illusory, but it carried with it endless pride and majestic power. Its voice, like a huge bell, tore through the peaceful chaos and questioned you who had just regained consciousness.]

[You are confused and don’t know how to answer. ]

[But the shadow will not give up just because of your silence and confusion. ]

[He tells you that you will be the new 'Sui', and that you are in the sinful Great Flame that betrayed God, and the meaning of your life is to become 'Sui' and settle accounts with all the betrayers of that year...]

[But as you listened to the words and mission the other party told you, you felt confused in your heart. ]

[Is this really your mission? Are you...really just a newborn 'year-old'? ]

[For some reason, you don’t want to accept this identity. ]

[The phantom snorted coldly upon seeing this, seemingly disdainful, but also seemed to be angry at someone. In the end, after leaving only your authority, it disappeared from your consciousness.]

[You are able to clearly emerge from the dark chaos, but with it comes a strong feeling of 'hunger'.]

[After gaining authority, you instinctively felt hunger, and at the same time saw the 'fragments' that were in the same chaos as you.]

[You are hungry and instinctively want to get close to them, wanting to satisfy your hunger by eating them. ]

[But... when you reach out your hand to one of the fragments and pick it up, you feel the slight stinging pain in your palm caused by the fragments fighting, and the consciousness within that is eager to live, growing instinctively but still in chaos.]

You hesitated.

[Because you can see that they are the same as you, they...will be your relatives, your brothers and sisters. ]

[But your hunger is eroding your sanity, and the voice echoing from the phantom in your mind is tempting you to eat your brothers and sisters in front of you.]

[They are not yet born, and are within your reach. As long as you want, you can eat them to satisfy your hunger at any time, and then become a newborn 'year', gaining powerful strength, supreme authority and great power.]

[But is it really worth it? Or is this really the only meaning of your life? ]

[Although hunger is constantly tearing at your consciousness, and although the anger and unwillingness of the ‘year’ before death are burning in your heart like wildfire and are constantly rising.]

[The existence called "heart" has always been maintaining your self. 】

[Even if you are extremely hungry, even if you are extremely painful, even if you are extremely eager. ]

[Even though the black lines that looked like hideous wounds gradually imprinted on your snow-white skin, with the pain and urgency of burning your skin and flesh, you did not eat the fragments in your hand.]

[Because you think this fragment will be a lovely sister. ]

[You are everyone's sister, so you can't and don't want to kill your future family in the cradle. ]

[But the endless hunger in your heart is constantly eroding your remaining sanity. ]

[The curses and words left by the years are also deeply imprinted on your heart and body. 】

[If you don't get enough 'food' to replenish yourself, even if you have a 'heart' to anchor your humanity, one day you will do something irreversible under extreme hunger.]

[That is definitely something you don’t want to see. ]

【But what can you do now? 】

[——The corpse of the Sui Beast cannot be eaten. It is the source of the growth and future authority of the younger brothers and sisters.]

[But what should you do? Eat everything around you? ...You know that's meaningless.]

[Try to hunt other behemoths? No... you can't, and you can't leave here now. ]

【So what should you do? 】

[Feeling the hunger creeping up on you like a maggot on your tarsal bones, you fell silent.]

【Finally, you looked at your own arm.】

[The arm is slender and long, with black scar-like lines imprinted on it, depicting your authority and highlighting your existence.]

[Then I looked at my plump body that had emerged from the chaos. ]

[It seems that the answer is already obvious. ]

[It hurts, it will never fill your stomach, and it may even cause your cohesive body to disintegrate.]

[But this is the only answer. Your hunger cannot support you in finding the "intention" that can carry you. Before that, you can only use your own means to protect your future family...]

[You choose to eat yourself to relieve your ever-growing hunger. ]

……

Chapter 34: Things You Must Do as a Sister

……

[Talent obtained: Self-eater - You eat yourself for your brothers and sisters, but is it really worth it? Your authority will collapse, your consciousness will become blurred, and your strength will be weakened in an endless cycle. You... really won't regret it? ]

……

"Self-eater? This talent sounds so strange. I don't know what use it would be if I got it. But this time I am simulated as one of the fragments? It feels like a good start..."

Holding the soft blanket, Ikaros looked at the talent that emerged, and slightly sighed at the strength of this start. But after carefully looking at her own choice in the simulation, she understood that this talent was literal, and she tensed up again.

"Okay, I'll take that back. I think it's better if I don't get this talent."

Eating yourself, what kind of talent is this...

Complaining about the unreliable new talents acquired from the simulator, Ekaros looked to the next development.

……

[You chose to devour your own power and authority to relieve your hunger.]

[This is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket. Your hunger is still rising. Every time you eat a part of your body, the body that is recovering will often consume more of your energy, making you even more hungry.]

[So you looked at your brothers and sisters who were in the chaos and whose consciousness would be born at any time, and you made up your mind to avoid losing your mind due to hunger and doing something irreversible.]

[You simply began to use your authority to devour your already formed body and consciousness.]

[This will greatly relieve your hunger. ]

[But what is the price? Your body begins to dissipate rapidly, like an erased painting, and gradually disappears into the mausoleum outside the chaos.]

[Your crazy behavior has caused you, who had already been born, to return to chaos with your authority broken.]

【And this is actually your purpose. 】

[——After all, you might do something irreversible when you are born under crazy hunger, so wouldn’t it be better to return yourself to the hazy and chaotic state before birth? ]

[This is the only way you can come up with to curb your hunger after you understand the nature of your hunger...]

【Fortunately, your method was successful. 】

[At the same time, as your consciousness gradually dissolves and becomes chaotic, you see the birth of a new fragment and witness the correct choice made by the other party.]

[You think He will be a good big brother, and then continue to sleep in the chaos where the fragments will no longer fight. ]

【And you don’t know how long you have been sleeping. 】

[Most of the newly born fragments are in confusion, and no fragment noticed you, an almost broken fragment, curled up in a corner of chaos.]

[Or even if they notice, few fragments will actually pay attention to you. ]

[They are all eager to find the meaning of their own existence, and their bodies still have the instinct to fight each other and the resentment of the years. ]

[It is only because the time of leaving chaos is different, and after leaving chaos, they will disappear into this mausoleum, which prevents the fragments from attacking each other at the beginning. ]

[When the last fragment left the chaos with clarity, it was already nearly a hundred years.]

[But you are still sleeping deeply in chaos. ]

[It was not until another hundred years later that the fragments of the outside world began to realize who they were, and began to contact and attack each other under the residual resentment and resentment of the years.

You barely woke up from that endless sleep and hunger. 】

[At this moment, you are extremely weak, your authority has been largely shattered due to long-term self-sacrifice, and your consciousness has become blurred. ]

[But fortunately, the influence of age on you has been largely eliminated in the process of your self-eating. ]

[You are no longer the other side of the container of the year, but an existence called "Tao". 】

[You are still extremely hungry, but compared to the crazy hunger, as long as your authority remains fragile, you will not go crazy. ]

[But at the same time, you have now lost the possibility of finding an image between heaven and earth that can carry you, and thus completely controlling your own authority.]

[This is the price of self-destruction, and it is also the price you pay for your brothers and sisters. ]

[But you won't regret it, after all, you already knew the price from the beginning. ]

[But now that you have become the youngest sister of the fragments, you still have an obsession in your heart. 】

[That is to go and see the fragments as a big sister. ]

[Even though your mature and tall body has turned into a young girl due to self-indulgence, and your mind has also changed from mature to young, you still want to see them as a big sister. ]

【but……】

[You, who have such a simple thought, don't know that the fragments are now in the process of attacking each other. ]

[So when you rely on your instinct to climb over the mountains and find where the fragments are. ]

[What you often get is not the welcome and care from your family, but fighting and beatings again and again. Many times, the fragments that were originally fighting will unite after realizing your existence and beat you all over. ]

[You don't understand every time, and you are powerless to resist. Your strength is too weak. Even the fragment of the youngest brother can easily suppress you.]

[But even if you show no ill intentions, the fragments are still extremely wary of you. ]

[After all, the power you hold is the most likely to devour the fragments, and the aura you exude also makes the young fragments feel instinctive fear and rejection.]

[Plus, you have always instinctively used the 'gluttonous beast', the dark side of the year, to contact these fragments. ]

[So even if the fragments are fighting each other, once they sense your presence, they will unite and kill you first before anything else.]
