Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

"Chirp chirp..."

Deep inside a prison, in a pitch-black room, several rats scurried about, making low squeaks.

Behind the iron bars of the dark room, dozens of large iron chains tightly bound a handsome man.

The man had long, black hair that fell across his face, and he was covered in blood. Several horrifying bloodstains were clearly visible on his white prison uniform.

The blood on some of the wounds slowly turned black, emitting a foul, fishy odor.

It is unknown how long the man has been chained here, but one can still sense a very faint will to survive.

Ok…

Suddenly, the man seemed to wake up and abruptly opened his eyes.

Her bright eyes shone like two fireflies in the dark room.

"Can't move? These chains are strange, they seem to be able to absorb human life force..."

The man was a time traveler named Jiang Yueming.

In his previous life, he was a military officer. Due to an accident, he was transported to this world and was imprisoned here when he woke up.

Jiang Yueming was initially excited about being reborn, after all, who doesn't value their life?

But the next moment he changed his mind.

Because he couldn't move at all.

"Reborn after transmigrating, I didn't even get a dog at the start, and I was locked in a dungeon..."

Good heavens, that's really pathetic!

Jiang Yueming cursed under his breath, his heart filled with extreme grief and indignation.

Where was he? He didn't know. Who had locked him up here? He didn't know either.

He was completely unaware of these things, and a sense of fear rose in his heart.

Bound by these chains, he could barely move, and his entire body was completely unable to exert any strength.

He felt that if things continued like this, he would die in the dark room sooner or later, let alone break free.

Just when Jiang Yueming was in despair, a virtual panel slowly formed in front of him.

[Ding! The Life Simulation System has been successfully activated! Please use it.]

system?

Ah, it's finally here.

Now, as is standard for time-travelers, he also has a system!

Jiang Yueming closed his eyes slightly as a flood of information rushed into his mind, instantly making him understand the system's function.

Life Simulation System!

The system initiates a life simulation, allowing users to choose one of three random reward options based on the simulation information.

"With this system, I can get out and kill the people who're keeping me locked up!"

Jiang Yueming's hope was rekindled.

Immediately, he opened the system's personal panel with a thought.

[Name] Jiang Yueming

[Cultivation Level] Early Stage of Origin Spirit Realm

[Techniques] Golden Light Realm (Beginner) Holy Golden Seal (Perfect) Demon-Suppressing and Heaven-Sealing Fist (Mastery)

[Spiritual Consciousness] 2.0

Lifespan: 14 days

[Current Status: Bound by the Soul-Eating Chains, lifespan continuously diminishing...]

[Note: Due to the prolonged binding of the previous body, its foundation has been damaged. If it does not break free of the Soul-Eating Chains in time, its life will be in danger!]

I just burst open!!

Is he only 14 days away from survival?

What's going on? Did I transmigrate here to die??

Jiang Yueming was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

He knew that this broken chain was definitely not a good thing!

And he's going to die in 14 days?

Fortunately, he has the system, so there should still be a way out.

Jiang Yueming decisively activated the system's 'plot simulation' function.

As his thought flashed by.

Text slowly appeared on the virtual panel in front of them.

Each time you start a life simulation, you need 1 simulation point.

[Current simulation points remaining: 2]

[Note: The number of simulation points will change as the host simulates more times; currently, 2 points are distributed daily.]

Jiang Yueming was slightly taken aback.

Simulation point?

Two times a day, meaning you can only simulate twice a day?

Jiang Yueming shook his head, held his breath, and without thinking too much, began to concentrate on starting the simulation.

The most important thing right now is to survive!

The void panel began to glow, and strings of text came into view.

On your first day, you find yourself in a prison cell, completely unaware of the outside world. You believe that breaking free will allow you to learn more, and so you begin your struggle.

The next day, you continued to struggle, encouraging yourself that you could definitely break free.

On the third day, you continued to struggle...

On the fourth day, you are still struggling...

On the tenth day, through your strong willpower and unwavering determination, you successfully broke free of your restraints. Just as the Soul-Devouring Chains snapped, you were struck by a hidden weapon and died.

[This simulation has ended. Please choose one of the following three items as your reward.]

[Investigating the Deadly Hidden Weapon]

[Advanced to the late stage of the Origin Spirit Realm]

[Add one month to lifespan]

"..." Jiang Yueming was speechless.

He had a big question mark above his head.

He had just broken free of his restraints and hadn't even had a chance to breathe properly before he was killed by a hidden weapon.

Isn't this cutting off people's livelihood?

Jiang Yueming never expected that her first experience with the simulation system would turn out like this.

He took a deep breath and shook his head to clear his mind of distractions.

My mind returned to normal.

Now the priority is to quickly make the right choice among these three options.

Investigating deadly hidden weapons?

This seems quite important.

What about advancing in cultivation level?

It seems to be very important.

But none of these are the most important things right now; the third thing—lifespan—is of utmost importance!

"What's the point of doing this if you're not going to live?"

Jiang Yueming chose the third option.

As he made his choice, a golden light shot out and entered his brow.

In an instant, a warm current spread from his limbs and bones, and he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Now that my lifespan is temporarily guaranteed, getting out of here as quickly as possible becomes my top priority, otherwise this damn chain will drain me dry sooner or later."

Jiang Yueming thought to herself.

He knows nothing about the outside world; only by getting out of prison sooner can he learn more about this world.

He licked his lips and couldn't wait to start the next round of simulations.

If you can simulate twice a day, then you have one more chance today.

On your first day, you find yourself in a prison cell, completely unaware of the outside world. You believe that breaking free will allow you to learn more, and so you begin your struggle.

The next day, you continued to struggle…

On the third day, you were still struggling...

On the tenth day, with your strong willpower and unwavering determination, you successfully broke free from your restraints. Just as the Soul-Devouring Chains snapped, two hidden weapons came hurtling towards you.

Fortunately, you had the experience from the first time, so you successfully dodged the hidden weapon and remembered it: it was a hidden arrow from both sides.

On the eleventh day, you rested for a while and prepared to leave the prison, dodging various hidden weapons by relying on your past life as a military officer.

[You gloat for a moment, reach out and open the cell door, and suddenly the broken Soul-Eating Chains on the ground regenerate, binding you back to your original state and greedily sucking away your lifespan.]

Three minutes later, you die.

"Damn it! Is this some kind of living hell?"

As the simulation ended, Jiang Yueming's face showed annoyance.

Even if he dodges the hidden weapons, the Soul-Eating Chain will return him to his original state as soon as the prison door is opened.

There's simply no solution to this!

And to simulate it again, we have to wait another day, which is so annoying!

Just as Jiang Yueming was getting angry, faint sounds came from outside the dark room...
