Chapter 5: Simulation Ends

<You followed behind the three, and as expected, the three split up and headed in different directions to explore.>

<You decide to follow the one with a power level of 500. After a few minutes of observing and ensuring you are far from the others. You take action>

<You directly blast him with a rapid charge of continuous Ki blast. He falls down from the sky.>

<You go down, and punches start being thrown left and right. Your enemy has taken some nasty hits while you have mostly dodged his attacks. You knee him right in the stomach as a final blow, and he is down for the count.>

<You fly up, then focus, make a giant Ki ball, and drop it right on his body. His Ki sign which had already been fading finally vanishes.>

John - "That took quite the toll on me. Maybe this wasn't the best idea after all. If fighting someone below me was so tiring, I don't know how I will face the other nine."

"My biggest flaw was that as I have zero fighting experience, I was forced to rely mainly on Ki blasts but didn't think it would be so taxing."

"Now that it's confirmed that they can't sense Ki, I am the king of this playground. As I will hide and kill eventually, they will all be forced to come out and investigate. That when I strike and steal the ship away."

"Let's head back to the ship. If I remember correctly, one can track Scouters meaning they probably know their partner is dead. I need to head there and see how they react."

<You head back to where the ship had landed. The two members of the scout team came back and ran inside the space ship and then the spaceship started flying away.>

<Seeing this, you panicked and revealed yourself and tried to stop them but they were clearly not having any of it. The ship ramped you and fled away into outer space.>

John almost started pulling his own hair. John asked, "No system, this is wrong. How can they react like this? You must have cheated me somehow."

System answered, "System simulates a completely realistic environment and scenarios. There are no errors here. If the Host wants answers, he can purchase them for 40 fate points."

John replied, "Fine spend my 40 points. I want to know why they fled like a headless chicken."

<Answer: The group of people the Host just encountered were not galactic patrolmen but prisoners who had managed to overpower the galactic patrol.>

<Their cover as a fake galactic patrolman was blown. So they entered a high-chase spaceship battle. They managed to escape by luck.>

<They came here looking for a spot to lay low and looking for people to recruit. They were suddenly attacked and guessed that the galactic patrol had found them. Hence leading them to escape as soon as possible.>

Reading this explanation, John wanted to find a well and jump in to end his life. His luck really was horrible.

A pet came his way. He killed it, a master came his way he became a baby Groot. His teammates came to rescue him, and he attacked them.

John felt sad but quickly recovered and said, "Fine, I will think as though this incident never took place and get back to training until something new happens."

"Anyways, it's not like anyone will know about it. It's not like I am the protagonist of some fan novel."

<Year 30: You noticed that your training had slowly been cut in more than half. Due to physical limitations that came with your age. You glance at your combat power of 1,200 and decide to call it quits.>

<You end your life by stabbing yourself in your heart with bare hands. You let out a painful scream.

<Baby Groot, look at your life energy quickly withering away and shed tears at your dying body.>

<Seeing this, the last thought before you died was guilt for leaving Baby Groot alone in this dark prison world.>

John felt the ever-gripping sadness sipping into his body, but the reward screen cheers him back up.

<Calculating Sim Rewards>

<Calculation completed rewarding 216 fate points.>

< Host may now choose one of the following options -

A) Get a random skill from your character skill set.

B) Receive the combat power of 1,200.

C) Receive the fighting experience from your life.>

John - "The third option is really useless. I fought like one single battle. Not to mention without any techniques, fighting experience is completely useless."

"I pick the obvious choice, option B."

<Choice selected B, combat power is being transferred.>

Immediately John felt an electric current flowing through him, it was a pretty painful process, but John persevered through it.

John knew he couldn't go screaming in pain as it would alert his mom. She did probably think he going crazy. He mouthed the scream but didn't make a sound.

After roughly a minute, the electric energy subsided, and his body returned to a usual calm. The first thing he did was head to the bathroom.

He took off his shirt in front of the mirror and saw the bulging muscles around his body. He finally felt all that pain was worth it.

Then it dawned on him. He looked completely different except for his face, which was still as handsome as ever. His body had undergone enormous change.

He quickly called the System, "System, come out quick. My body has rapidly changed. How am I going to explain this to my family and friends."

The System replied, "You can buy the body transformation package. It will create an illusion in the eyes of others."

John asked, "What kind of illusion?."

The System replied, "In the eyes of others, your body shape will slowly improve, and within two weeks, you will reach your current level. It will look much more organic and systematic in the eyes of others."

John spoke, "Alright, how much does it cost?."

The System answered, "16 fate points."

John was furious, "What, it costs 16 points? Isn't that almost twice as that ancient wizard language package?"

"This is a problem with your reward delivery system. It's not my fault. Why should I pay."

System answered, "Fine, if you don't want to buy my package, go get beatings from your mom for taking steroids."

John stuttered, "S.s..st.e.r.o..oids."

John instantly fell into desperation, "Fine, I will buy it, but you have to make it permanent for further changes to my body."

The system answered, "That is a separate package costing 56 fate points."

John was furious but suppressed his anger and bought the package. He noticed no changes in the mirror, but when he came out, he went up to his mother.

Who asked him if he had started working out, to which John replied a resounding Yes. John then returned to his room.

He looked at his panel and sighed, all that simulating for earning a small profit of 10 points.
