Honkai Simulator: I'm Really not Seele!

"Shy little System! Why can't you just say it in full? But you know me... I just like to joke around.

Just pretend I didn't say that! So when can you start the simulation?"

[...]

Seeing Lunelle, who was unwilling to cooperate just a second ago, suddenly act so nice upon learning that the target of the strategy could be the person he thought of as his wife, Systema was speechless.

However, there was a reason why Lunelle suddenly fell in love with it.

After all, Lunelle was a veteran Seele fan who mainly promoted Seele.

But while primarily promoting the first wife Seele, there was also the second wife Elysia, then the third wife, the fourth wife, the fifth wife, and so on. Weren't they all like stars scattered in the vast Ganges River?

So, could it be considered a win if his wife and husband were a little affectionate with each other?

That's called internal digestion!

And if the relationship between the wives was good, wouldn't it be more convenient to have fun together in the future?

Hehehe, those who understand will understand.

Thinking of this, Lunelle even felt a little excited about the progress of his future simulations.

[Confirming that the host agrees to open the simulation module. The simulation module has been activated.]

[Since this is the first time the host is loading the simulation, the novice gift pack talents are being automatically loaded.]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the gold simulation-exclusive passive talent as a reward from the novice gift pack: Guaranteed Bottom Line.]

[Guaranteed Bottom Line (Gold/Simulation Exclusive Passive): When the host's simulation rating is lower than E, it will not be a total loss. Additionally, the penalty for simulation failure will be changed to a random binding of a special permanent talent.]

[Host, do you want to start the simulation?]

"Hmm? Wait a minute, Systema? Why is there only one golden talent as a guarantee? Also, doesn't your simulator have any talent extraction process at the beginning?"

When he saw the simulator panel in his consciousness, all she got was a somewhat strange novice gift pack talent, and it directly prompted him to start the simulation.

Lunelle felt a little strange at this moment.

After all, in Lunelle's understanding, shouldn't a normal simulator allow a player to draw several talents at the start, then pick a few useful ones from a pile of trash talents before beginning?

[Host, this simulator does not provide a starting talent extraction process.]

[However, the talents that the host obtains through simulation, as long as they are not marked as exclusive to the simulation world, can be brought into reality, and there is no limit on the number.]

"Ah? Well, if I don't have any special talents at the beginning, wouldn't it be a death wish to start the simulation just like that?"

After hearing Systema's reply, Lunelle was completely dumbfounded.

At the very least, other people's cheat codes would grant them some useful special abilities when they first opened their novice gift pack. Even if those abilities became trash later on, they could still serve as a temporary boost at the start, right?

But who else would be as unlucky as him? His novice gift pack gave him a talent that was utterly useless in reality!

At this moment, Lunelle seriously doubted whether his golden finger came from Hedgehog Cat.

As a nerd who hated exercise even before traveling through time, Lunelle was well aware of his own strength. He was so weak that even girls looked down on him.

With such limited abilities and a golden finger that felt like a burden, how was he supposed to soar?

[Host, don't worry. With the guaranteed talent, the host's life will not be in danger even if the simulation fails.]

"Systema? From what you just said, does that mean that if I didn't have this guaranteed talent, my life would actually be in danger if my simulation evaluation was too low?"

[Under normal circumstances, when the host's simulation rating is E, the host will not receive any rewards from that simulation.]

[However, if the host's simulation evaluation reaches the lowest rating of F, the host will suffer a cruel punishment that threatens his life.]

Lunelle: "..."

Good lord, he was just making an exaggerated analogy, and yet it turned out to be true!!!

[So obtaining the guaranteed talent means that as long as the host persists in the simulation, a bright future awaits!]

"Forget it, since my life isn't in danger, let's just start the simulation and see what kind of guaranteed rewards I get."

After hearing the terrible "simulated truth" about not having any guaranteed talent, Lunelle, who had initially thought his novice gift pack was useless, quickly accepted reality.

After all, compared to a simulation where a low evaluation could mean losing one's life, having a guaranteed talent that exempted one from the cost of death made this novice gift pack extremely valuable!

At this moment, Lunelle conveniently forgot his previous disdain for the guaranteed talent's inability to affect reality.

But this change in mindset wasn't anything extraordinary.

After all, he was always good at adapting!

[Host confirmed. First simulation officially starting. Deploying host consciousness, please wait...]

As Lunelle confirmed the start of the simulation, the simulator panel in his consciousness displayed the word "loading."

His consciousness wavered, and in the next moment, it felt as if he was being pulled into an unfamiliar space.

Then, the specialized simulator panel expanded before him, displaying text and images relevant to the simulation on the virtual screen.

[Your consciousness has been successfully loaded into Seele of the Previous Era worldline.]

[You open your eyes and find yourself in an ordinary room.]

[Judging from the general layout of the house, this doesn't seem like a place where the wealthy reside.]

[After arriving in this new world, you soon realize that your body has transformed into that of a young girl with an unusually developed figure.]

[You come to a shocking realization—you have become the wife you once dreamed of, Seele.]

[Out of curiosity, you immediately want to find a mirror to see how adorable your dream wife Seele looks.]

[But in the next moment, you suddenly feel an overwhelmingly terrifying presence staring at you!]

[The Will of the Sea has noticed your existence.]

[The gaze of the Cocoon of the End is now upon you.]

[The Cocoon of the End suddenly moves first, attempting to embrace you.]

[For some reason, your impure consciousness is completely unable to withstand the impact of the gift from the End.]

[You have died!]

[Simulation Evaluation: You merely went through the motions, changing nothing and affecting no one. Perhaps when you gain the ability to endure the gift of the End, you will have the opportunity to touch the future that once belonged to the former civilization's Seele.]

[Simulation Rating: F]

[Simulation Settlement: The host loses a finger!]

[The guaranteed talent is triggered.]

[Settlement adjustments...]

[Basic modification settlement: The original penalty is canceled, and the host receives a guaranteed reward: a small amount of resistance to Honkai.]

[Since the host's simulation evaluation reached F level, this simulation successfully triggered and bound the permanent talent [Milky Snow Skin].]

T/N: If you're wondering why the guys name is Lunelle and not some chinese name, there is a segment where his name (Originally Lin Xi) was compared to Seele (Originally Xi'er) and they both have Xi in their names, but since Seele has no Xi, I just changed the mc's name to Lunelle, cause they both have "le" at the end it also keeps up with the honkai theme.
