Chapter 83: So, welcome to a new "day" 3~

————————

[So, are you satisfied with the ending this time?]

"...Can I swear?"

[It's better not to]

"Then I have nothing to say."

[...It seems you are not satisfied]

"Nonsense! Of course, I am not satisfied! I failed to save the person I wanted to save the most! I couldn't even stay by her side, how can I be satisfied!"

[Okay, okay...In that case, let's continue and put this unsatisfactory story aside for now]

So, the stagnant [time] began to flow, [time] still moved forward, but things began to move backward, everything began to trace back with him as the reference point, in this process, dots of starlight appeared, turned into a piece of [paper] full of unique words, and then silently merged into his body.

[Ending: The end of the pious has been achieved]

[Entry: Record, has taken effect]

[In short, welcome to a new "day"]

————————

Rustle...

It was the sound of pages turning, this time the turning was a bit random, and also a bit disgusting, obviously the "story" just read was not satisfactory.

"Puff... cough cough... why do I feel like I'm getting used to it."

The familiar feeling of vomiting came, and numerous memories flooded into his mind again, but this time Nozomi actually felt okay and quickly adjusted his state.

"...Sure enough, I'm back."

He looked at himself again and found that he had returned to the body of a child. Because he had experienced it once before, Nozomi was not surprised. Sitting back in the corner, curling up his small body, Nozomi lowered his eyes slightly, began to adjust his breathing, and at the same time, as usual, began to whisper quickly.

"Tsk… It's really too difficult to do a [speed run] directly… A small change at the beginning caused the subsequent life trajectory to completely deviate from the first time… And if the external pressure is not strong enough, my emotions will not explode so quickly… What's going on? Is a good personality a problem and a shortcoming? It's really difficult…"

"The route of direct [speed run] is blocked, but on the other hand, it proves one thing… [Entries] can be triggered repeatedly, especially [Entries] with special conditions... It's interesting."

"And the identity of a priest… Tsk, I knew that believing in God is not good. Things, I didn't believe in it before... But I actually saw God here... It's really hard to deal with. "

"But this God is pretty much the same as I remembered... He doesn't care about anything... But in the end, he gave some guidance. In other words, He still cares about believers... It's really complicated. "

"And... [Youngster]? What kind of strange name is this?"

Nozomi frowned, thinking that this was a point worth paying attention to... Especially since he met [Gabriel] and [Michael] in the two [Simulations]... And [Michael] who appeared this time didn't appear in the first time, so... Is this another new variable? Kind of interesting.

As for the [Ending] at the end of this [Simulation], Nozomi had no complaints and nothing to comment on. Everything was my own fault!!! It's what I deserve!!! If that's the case, then I should swallow the bitter fruit myself. And...

"Rewrite this [Ending]... until it's satisfactory... I'm sure I can do it." Thinking back to what he said at the [Ending], Nozomi understood. This desire to change something will definitely last until the end! At least...save Sakura and Rin!

"And the most important thing gained from this [Simulation] is the information about [Water]...The [Ocean] after the mutation actually carries the memory of the previous [Simulation], so it turns out that it is not..." At this point, Nozomi stopped immediately, readjusted his breathing several times, and whispered to himself again.

"No, just treat it as a [Simulation], I'm still here, I... can still change everything." This is something only I can do! Nozomi firmly believed it.

"Then let's take a look at the gains this time...Oh, yes, there are [Achievements]." As he spoke, new things began to pop up on the [Event Board] in front of Nozomi.

.........

[In this future, you have achieved the following achievements]

[Priest]: You have become a priest recognized by everyone, and your heart for helping others is consistent throughout.

[Pray to "Him"]: You pray to God, and God responds to you.

[Lord of Twilight Street]: You have completely changed Twilight Street, becoming the de facto controller there, and set new rules.

["Paradise"]: You transformed Twilight Street into a peaceful place, and some even regarded it as the "Garden of Eden" on earth... Unfortunately, it was just a lie, an illusory illusion.

[Moth Chasing Fire]: Omitted.

[Hero (Rank 14)]: Omitted.

[Meeting with "Blood Relatives"]: You meet your "blood relatives" again, but unfortunately your relationship has become different this time.

[Your color? I like...] Omitted.

[Withered Cherry]: Omitted.

["The Mastermind"]: Most people regard you as an "evil man", a being who controls everything behind the scenes, but that is not your original intention.

[Flying Flower's "Executioner"]: Elysia appointed you to punish her, and you followed her ideas. [Shattered Faith]: Because of their deaths, your faith in "Him" has completely collapsed.

[Self-Judgement]: You have conducted a [Judgement] on yourself.

[Regret]: There are too many things you haven't changed.

.........

"Very good, as expected, I am a big bastard, I deserve to be beaten." Nozomi calmly read everything, his eyes stayed on the achievement of [Regret] for a long time, and then... Pah! He slapped himself very straightforwardly.

"I deserve to be beaten." I deserve it, it's all my own fault - Nozomi ignored the slightly red mark on his face and thought calmly. "Look at the harvest, it just happened to be confirmed, deepening the impression can indeed produce an effect in [Simulation], and then... arrange it for yourself."

As he said this, Nozomi began to scroll down and saw a few more entries:

[Pious Person] (Blue): No one can question your belief in [God].

Effect: You will have a natural liking for [Church], and at the same time, you will be more likely to get help from [Church].

"Can I not have this?" Nozomi was speechless for a while. To be honest, he really disliked this [entry]. And the next entry... well... made Nozomi's emotions explode.

[God's Favored Person] (Blue): An unknown god is looking after you. Effect: At certain times, you will become [Lucky].

"...I don't want to play anymore." Nozomi looked like he was playing badly. "Although I know that because of the experience in this [Simulation], the [Entry] I got must be related to faith and the like...but this is too annoying, I don't want to accept it at all!"

"......"

After lying aside for a while, Nozomi sat up again and comforted himself. "Forget it...at least the effect is very useful, and the [Luck] correction...it's still quite useful for a non-African like me."

"It's just that there are trigger conditions again, which is really difficult to deal with, so annoying." And the two consecutive blue entries made Nozomi feel a little irritated...Maybe it's because the first entry was either gold or purple? So now seeing two consecutive blue entries makes me a little unhappy? 'Ah, of course, the entry given by Didi doesn't count. That's my "blood relative", how can the entries given to me be compared together?!'

Pointing and pointing.jpeg

and then... huh? He actually gave me a purple one?

[Enlightenment] (Purple): You already know your destiny, and you already know how to act.

Effect: You have a certain probability of [enlightenment] in certain special environments/events/experiences, and thus change your own personality/purpose/attitude towards life, and the effect will be different depending on the situation.

"Very good, another super random entry." The eyes stayed on the [different effects depending on the situation], and Nozomi said that this thing can't be played. "It's all my fault..." Nozomi collapsed on the ground, looking weak, pitiful and helpless. But...

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Nozomi noticed something special.

[■■→■■■] (blue→purple): Currently invisible.

"What's wrong with this entry... upgraded? Evolved? And... what are the triggering conditions? Am I doing anything strange?" Nozomi pondered and then reached out to pull the [Event Board].

"I remember that this entry seemed to be triggered at some point... ah, I found it." [Entry: ■■ (blue), effective] This thing is effective at the same time when [Final Ruler] is triggered for the first time, and... the most important thing is, after it is triggered, the effect shown below. [■■■: Youngster, don't worry, I'm by your side, healing your pain]

"Youngster... that's the name again... so is it related to that god?"

"And... three invisible words, and a god-related existence, healing pain... most importantly, it happened to be raining when it was triggered..." Nozomi pondered, and then subconsciously pulled to the position of the [recording board] and began to write his guess.

"... So this thing, can it be [Gabriel]? Seriously? This entry can let me accumulate power?" If this entry can be triggered again in the [simulation] next time, I can see if the effect has changed... If there are more... then the effect of this entry is too amazing, and it has a strong growth potential... And since the entry can be upgraded, can other entries be upgraded? Or is it only certain entries that can be upgraded?

"...If [Humanity Flower] can be upgraded, I will throw myself into the [Ocean] to become [Final Herrscher], and then trigger [Humanity Flower] to directly defeat the [Herrscher]."

"Unfortunately, it is difficult, and I don't know how to upgrade the entry." Nozomi sighed, and then began to sort out his own gains and information. First of all, regarding this [Ending]... Although I am very dissatisfied, I think optimistically, at least he managed to give humans seven days to prepare, and in the end, Dr. Mei also successfully managed to keep all the other [Flame Chasers] alive, so that they would not die directly in the battle due to unfavorable combat...

But did Kalpas survive? And with his personality, will he really leave the battlefield? And in the future... did all the [Flame Chasers] live to the present civilization? I always feel that they will split up for various reasons and fight each other... Of course, the most important thing is... He failed to save Sakura and Rin...

'This is the most annoying thing! So annoying!'

Nozomi scratched his head again. The pain made his mind clear and relieved his anxiety to a certain extent. Secondly, it was about the use of the new [terms]...

Let's put aside [Enlightenment], which requires specific conditions to trigger and the specific effect after it takes effect is random. [Pious Person] and [God's Favored Person]... Although I don't like them very much, I have to say that their effects are still very good. One can make it easier for me to get help and support from the [Church], and the other is simply a [Luck] correction, both are good.

'I thought about how to arrange this time... First of all, I definitely can't stay in the church, and I can't become a priest. Even if I have the influence of the [Pious Man], I am definitely inseparable from the church, but I must go out and explore, so that I can broaden the route I experienced in the [Simulation]...'

"I remember that the church will come to select members for the choir... and my previous performance should be good, so I can consider this aspect... and I also learned some art before I crossed over, I have learned piano and painting and so on... Well, maybe I can become an artist?"

Nozomi raised his eyebrows, suddenly remembering the previous [Simulation]. "Come to think of it, I seem to have shown talent in art in both the first time and this [simulation]... Well, this should be inherited from me, so... let's give it a try this time!"

"With the support of the church, I don't have to worry about the initial academic problems. In this way, after I have achieved some success, I should be able to develop in the Far East and find Sakura at the same time. Maybe I can meet Kevin, Su and Mei... It will be a big profit if I meet them... And in the process of development, maybe I can run into Eden? After all, she is a big star... She symbolizes the art of an era..."

"......"

"Forget it, don't dream." Nozomi shook his head and threw away the unrealistic idea... Even if Eden has a good personality, cares about and takes care of the younger generation, and is even willing to guide the younger generation... But whether he can meet her is still uncertain.

The more important thing is to find Sakura so that she will not be dragged into the [Poison Pupa] again. If that happens, it will be very difficult to break free.

"And the beginning must be rearranged... Although it is very cool to kill that disgusting [Priest], it is still a stain. It is too difficult to get rid of it after being infected, and it is easy to become a heart disease... Tsk, how can this guy still cause trouble to others after his death? It's disgusting."

"We have to think of a better way to deal with him... Let's go find the chief of the police station, and we have to do it as soon as possible so that we can save other children in advance."

"Then there is the issue of [water]... After the [Fourth Herrscher Crusade], I can contact the [Ocean]. As long as I maintain my own cognition as a human, I will not become a [Herrscher] directly even if the entry is triggered... In this way, you can obtain past memories in the [Simulation], which will become your advantage...

Well, as long as you don't hug the [Ocean] directly, it will be fine." Nozomi nodded, habitually wiped everything he wrote from the [Recordboard], then stood up and patted his cheek.

"Okay, get ready! Don't immerse yourself in past failures, I will definitely do well this time!"

"Let me think about the goal this time... Well... Since this [Simulation] has also lasted until the end of civilization, I will be prepared for this this time... No, just treat it as if it will last until the end of civilization every time in the future! Prepare for the worst!"

"As for the goal... Let's focus on saving Sakura and Rin! Well... No! Be a little greedy! All the [Flame Chasers] survive! Anyway, I also managed to make all the [Flame Chasers] survive except Sakura, Rin, and Elysia in this [Simulation]. Although it has nothing to do with me (whispering)...

"But this time, be a little greedy and let them all survive!"

"I can do it... I can definitely do it because this is something only I can do." Nozomi took a deep breath and then walked firmly towards the exit illuminated by the light.

"Remember, act according to your heart; remember, always have a kind heart." Nozomi warned himself in a low voice, paused for a moment, raised his head again, and said to himself firmly.

"Remember, rewrite this [ending] until it is satisfactory."

"...Just wait and see, I will always make this [story] what I want it to be!"

"If you fail this time, try again!!!" What an amazing declaration.

Then... [Welcome to a new "day"]
