"You have a cheat code!"

"Oh."

"But you start with a thousand Herrschers, facing that fiery blade head-on."

"????"

(Viewing is optional; this is a poorly made work by a newcomer, please forgive any shortcomings.)

Chapter 1: Time Travel, But a Three-Wheeled Car

"I've traveled through time."

Cheng Xing sat on the toilet, his face full of melancholy.

"Seriously, I just went to the toilet, how did I end up in time travel? I had barely warmed up my toilet seat when I suddenly found myself sitting on a different one. What kind of time travel is this?!"

Cheng Xing muttered curses as he picked up a tissue from his pocket, finished relieving himself, and walked out of the bathroom, beginning to survey his surroundings.

He found himself in what appeared to be an abandoned house, with visible dust on the sofa in the living room.

Where am I?

Cheng Xing scratched his head in confusion, then went to the window and looked out. What he saw made his heart sink.

Holy crap!

Cheng Xing saw several pale-skinned girls carrying scythes wandering the streets filled with ruins.

He immediately crouched down, his eyes filled with horror.

"Damn it! How did I end up in a world of Honkai?! I'm doomed! I'm just an outsider, an ordinary person with absolutely no resistance to Honkai... Wait, if that's the case, I should be dead by now."

Cheng Xing looked outside several more times to make sure he hadn't made a mistake, then sat down on the ground and tentatively asked a question.

"system?"

"I'm here."

A voice, identical to Xiao Ai's, rang out.

"Whoosh! I knew it! How could a transmigrator be missing out on the standard features? So, system, what functions do you have?"

"I can let the host experience other people's lives and then give them a reward based on their performance."

"Oh! It's that popular life simulator-style cheat that's been all the rage lately. I get it. So, can we start now? I can't wait to see that lucky dog's steely face crackle!"

"Energy detection in progress... Remaining energy 80%, Host personality detection in progress... Realistic, inferiority complex, pessimistic, in the process of matching roles... Matching successful, life simulation is about to begin, good luck."

"First simulation begins. Characters: Thousand Herrschers, a mob."

"Holy crap! No..."

Before Cheng Xing could finish speaking, he vanished completely.

In the theater, Cheng Xing opened his eyes and found that he had lost his human body. His current body was like a piece of wood, a puppet made of wood that looked exactly like him.

"Why is my compatibility index with the Thousand Lawyers the highest?!" Cheng Xing shouted in his heart.

"You really don't know?"

"........."

Cheng Xing fell silent.

However, reality did not give him more time to think; he sensed the intense heat of the fire flashing in the distance.

He looked up and saw a girl. In the flames, a girl with long white hair held a large, fiery red sword in her hand, her sky-blue eyes filled with unwavering determination.

The girl's will was like a raging fire, unbreakable.

Cheng Xing felt a call. He turned around and saw many puppets beginning to gather together. His own body involuntarily moved over and merged into the group.

Cheng Xing stopped paying attention to the battles that followed, and he couldn't possibly get involved. He simply focused on watching the story of the thousand Herrschers, the story of a thousand losers who escaped and hated reality.

Some people are driven to despair by the world taking everything away from them; some learn emptiness through endless repetition of life; and some are simply misanthropic in a childish way.

Cheng Xing also saw his own story, or rather, his own story in this life experience.

His father was imprisoned for sexual assault, and his mother abandoned him and left him alone. He was raised by the elderly in his family. From childhood to adulthood, he was hated by people because of his father's crime. And among his junior high school classmates were relatives of the victims... The bullying came as expected.

Even the elderly in his family only cared about his studies and never paid attention to his mental health issues. Then, he killed someone.

He killed the classmate who bullied him.

It was only mentioned briefly in the news, and those who knew about it looked as if it was no surprise; the children of criminals will also be criminals, they did nothing wrong.

It was very ordinary. Even Cheng Xing, who had experienced the story of the teenager, didn't feel anything. He openly slacked off and read the story while the outside world was buzzing with excitement.

Then, with the roar of an explosion, Cheng Xing awoke from his dazed state and found himself kneeling on the ground, with the imposing young girl pointing her sword at him.

"You lost."

Yes, the voice is almost exactly the same as I remember it.

Cheng Xing looked at the girl in front of him. It was the girl's growth after he chose to leave, the girl's change after he chose to become the Herrscher of a Thousand People... He had wanted to smoke a cigarette for the first time, but he didn't have the courage to try.

"Kiana Kaslana, well done!"

Kiana looked at the doll that suddenly started laughing with some surprise upon hearing this.

"You have proven your growth and developed your own will to exist. You are no longer a clone whose name, body, appearance, and power are borrowed! You are a real person! A true warrior who has inherited the will of your comrades."

Kiana was stunned, as were Bronya and Fu Hua, who had regained their mobility. They didn't know why the Herrscher of a Thousand People would say these things at this moment.

Cheng Xing looked at the Domination Theater, which was gradually collapsing, and muttered to himself, "It's over, it's over."

"What exactly do you mean?" Kiana asked.

Cheng Xing's eyes met Kiana's pupils. He could feel that his body was about to die. He wanted to say something one last time... Anyway, this was just a simulation, probably.

"Kiana, I'm sorry. I'm such a bad captain."

Cheng Xing is dead.

"Simulation complete, evaluation in progress... You have earned the achievement, 'An Awayman's Apology'."

"You were once their captain, but you gave up and lost because of the rumors in reality, the imbalance of the game, the boredom of the gameplay, and the pressure of life. But they faced the bleak reality and continued on. You stayed in the darkness, while they stepped out of the shadows."

"You live a life of emptiness in reality, while they live a life of reality in illusion."

"Gain a portion of the power of the Herrscher of Domination, and Honkai Energy Adaptability."

"Gained Trait: Clown".

Cheng Xing looked at the large "Clown" label in the characteristics section with a complicated expression and said, "Can you give me the memory for this Clown?"

The system did not respond.

"Okay, system, when is the next simulation?"

"The remaining energy is 10%, and the theoretical charging time is 120 hours and 59 minutes."

Cheng Xing stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his backside.

He arrived at the door, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door, which symbolized the beginning of a new life.

Chapter Two: The System, 666

"This ability... is way too limited!"

Cheng Xing's eyes twitched as he looked at the scythe-wielding female assassin standing in front of him. He had controlled her with his Domination ability, which allowed him to control Honkai Beasts and assassins. However, the problem was that the maximum limit of his current ability was just an ordinary scythe-wielding female assassin.

"Is it useful? Yes, it is, but it's not particularly useful."

Cheng Xing directed the female assassins he was controlling to collect food and water from the supermarket, then looked at the travel guide in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"This is Changkong City, the place where it all started. I just don't know what time period it is now... Whatever, I'm not going to look for Kiana and the others anyway. I'll just find a direction to leave the city and go have some fun on my own."

Cheng Xing never thought that just because he transmigrated, he would be as resilient and grow rapidly as those protagonists. He didn't have that ability; an ordinary otaku like him with no temperament should just stay somewhere cool and stay put.

"When I have mastered my divine skills... if Otto is still alive, I will go and have a chat with him; if he is no longer here... I will go to his grave and have a drink."

Just as Cheng Xing was planning where to farm and develop his character, he suddenly discovered that the scythe girl he was controlling had suddenly died.

"What the hell? Is anyone in that supermarket?"

After Cheng Xing gained his ability, he also had the ability to sense the strength of Honkai energy, but he didn't sense any powerful Honkai energy in that supermarket.

However, Cheng Xing didn't plan to investigate further. He didn't have the ability to satisfy his curiosity. He decided to find another person to collect supplies in another place.

Just as Cheng Xing found a new scythe-wielding girl and was about to go to another supermarket nearby with her, a girl's shout suddenly rang out from the previous supermarket: "Watch out!"

Then Cheng Xing watched in a daze as his scythe-wielding girl was shot down, and then her body was kicked away by a beautiful white-haired girl.

"you you……"

Cheng Xing pointed at the girl, his hand trembling.

"You're welcome! Saving innocent people is the Kaslana family's duty!" Kiana Kaslana smiled brightly.

"…………"

Cheng Xing took a deep breath to suppress his resentment. He knew it was the girl's kindness, and he shouldn't blame her, so he pretended nothing had happened and said, "Thank you for saving my life, heroine! I can never repay you in this life! In the next life, I'm willing to serve you like a dog or a horse! Farewell!"

Cheng Xing didn't want to provoke Kiana; Otto was keeping a close eye on her! If he got caught up in the game and his special abilities were discovered, he was doomed. He was no match for that 500-year-old fox.
