NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: simulation started
[First simulation world: Rüneterra]
[Determining the starting point...]
As Eren started to recall his memories of the League universe, the system screen in front of him finally told him where the starting point was.
[Starting point: Zaun, Beginning time: One hundred years after the founding of Piltover]
[Choose your ability to start the first simulation (The character in the simulation must grow enough to awaken their consciousness to access their ability, there may be exceptions*)]
As Eren stared at the word Zaun on the screen in front of him, he thought of a city from an animation he had watched. It was definitely not a good idea to start a simulation in a city that reeked of poison and had the worst possible oxygen quality. Still, he didn't complain about it when he remembered that the girl Jinx had been turned into a superhuman with a drug developed by Singed.
After all, there were some awful starting points for a commoner when it came to Runeterra.
[Congratulations you have three grays, one orang,e and one green gift to choose from]
[Stronger legs (Gray): You have a stronger leg structure than other people, maybe you will become a runner in the future. But your arms seem to suffer from nutritional deficiencies]
[Mental illness (Gray): You seem to suffer from some kind of mental disorder]
[Small hands (Gray): It's not a good thing for a man to have such tiny hands, but look on the bright side, they can come in handy with macro technology]
[Half human, half animal (Orange): Your body is beyond an ordinary human body, imagine if you had a tail, beautiful girls would line up to pet you (This ability can be used from the moment you are born)]
[Engineering intelligence (Green): you could probably make a good academic career in piltover with this. Sadly, you will be born in Zaun]
After looking at the abilities lined up in front of him for a while, Eren felt his blood pressure start to rise. He only had two options; one was to follow the engineering path, and the other was to try to become a warrior with a superior body, but since he didn't know whether the green ability or the orange ability was better, Eren couldn't make a decision.
"Looks like it's up to me to figure out the values of the abilities."
Knowing that his increased stress level could be the end of his life, Eren stopped thinking further and walked away from the option he was sure of.
[Congratulations, the ability will be revealed when your character's age reaches the level where they can use their thinking ability.]
[Starting simulation...]
[You are 0 years old: You were born into an ordinary family living in Zaun and after three months of breastfeeding you were thrown into a trash bin because you were considered a waste]
Eren cursed out loud after reading the first message and said that he was wasting his time thinking.
[Fortunately, there was a piltover agent undercover on that street at the time. After finding you in the trash can, he saw that you were a healthy person and took you in.]
[You were dropped off at an orphanage in Piltover by the adult who found you. Fortunately, before the adult dropped you off at the orphanage, you went to a hospital for treatment and got rid of the smell of Zaun. That way the people at the orphanage don't know you are a Zaun and treat you like any other child]
"Should I thank them for treating me like a human being?"
[Two years have passed and now you can speak and think clearly. Before you go to bed at night, a system screen appears in front of you and tells you that you have the gift of engineering intelligence]
[As a child, you are very curious about this hologram and you want to get up and show it to the female employee you call Mother, but the screen disappears and no one takes your story seriously]
"I can think really perversely, but apparently this simulation is not being performed by an avatar with my memory. That's too bad, this character probably won't even try to get stronger."
[Two more years passed and you took an exam that caught the attention of the proctor. He formally invited you to join the piltover academy, but he said you'd have to learn the basics of engineering on your own before you got there. You cheerfully accept the offer of the invigilator with the little yellow puff in front of you, and at that moment you remember the hologram you saw two years ago]
"The person with the little yellow puff is probably Heimerdinger, the engineering genius. Considering he's a nice old man at heart, it makes sense that he goes around to orphanages and teaches kids from time to time. Hmm, let's see if we can follow him and become a good engineer."
[Another two and a half years have passed and you are now seven years old. You have finished the thousand-page book "Introduction to Engineering" left to you by Heimerdinger. Many girls in the orphanage look at your little machines and say that they will marry you in the future. Actually, they just admire you and you are the talented older brother in their eyes]
Eren grinned from the corner of his mouth before reading the last sentence and cursed the system after reading the last sentence.
"You didn't need the last sentence, you know, you fucking system?"
[On your way to the entrance exam of Piltover Academy, you see a lot of people arriving at the exam site using strange robots and you realize that there is no unique genius in this world. You were very depressed when you took the exam, but you managed to pass it with flying colors.]
[As you walk around the academy, afraid of running into Heimerdinger, the thing you feared happens and a yellow furry creature from the other side of the hallway sees you and comes to congratulate you]
[Heimerdinger congratulates you for a while and then scolds you because he believes that a child who understands the basics of thermodynamics in one lecture can get higher grades and get into the academy. In his opinion, you are lazy and came to take the exam before you even finished the book]
"Hehe, that furry creature doesn't know that this brat has already swallowed the book in two years."
[Your sadness is growing and you don't want to study at the academy anymore. Heimerdinger realizes this and invites you to his class. Heimerdinger wants to show you the star map of engineering, so he takes you to his advanced class. If it wasn't you, but someone else, he would probably think that engineering is not for him after what he has heard here]
