I have a hero simulator

Because it is a "simulation", Shen Yuan's identity is a young man from a village outside the imperial capital.

At the age of 0, you were born into a kindhearted village couple. However, due to your family's poverty, you never had enough to eat. Your parents begged for your sake, but because they offended the village's most powerful chief, your father's legs were broken and he died before the winter. Your mother also died of depression. You were adopted by a relative.

Good guy!

It's just the beginning and my blood pressure is already rising.

At this moment, Shen Yuan seemed to be recalling the memories of the first half of his life, and many fragments of resentment, anger and darkness appeared in his mind.

At the age of three, you were boarding with relatives. You had a vicious cousin who always bullied you. When your parents were not at home, she made you pretend to be animals and bullied you, making you feel extremely wronged but unable to express your anger.

At age 5, the Empire issued a new policy, allowing rural residents to travel to the capital to work and save their impoverished village. The young people in the village were eager to try, and the number of people dwindled. But soon, you discovered that after leaving for the capital, they never returned.

At the age of seven, your village was attacked by a dangerous creature, resulting in numerous casualties. To prepare for future dangers, you began training with the sword, spending the years like days practicing various assassination techniques, swordplay, katana, and shuriken. The hatred you harbored for your parents' deaths drove you to become stronger.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan was a little curious about where the power template of his Demon Sealing Sword Soul Yongen had gone?

However, when I thought about the fact that this was the setting of "identity background", I felt relieved.

At this time, he had not yet officially awakened, but was instead an identity background fabricated by the system through time acceleration.

What this means is that, without heroic powers, this kind of miserable childhood is what ordinary people should have.

Even a time traveler like Shen Yuan couldn't withstand it, let alone others.

When you were ten years old, you killed someone. It was a robber who broke into your relatives' home and murdered your adopted parents. Just as he was about to attack your most hated cousin, you couldn't hold back, leaping from the roof and slashing him in the back with a sword. But you seemed to be born with the killer's instincts, managing to remain calm even after your first kill. Your ruthlessness and methods frightened your cousin. The robber you killed was actually a servant in the village chief's household. Terrified, she told the chief the news, and you were put on the wanted list.

At the age of 12, you escaped from prison. Hatred and darkness had completely overwhelmed you. That night, you slaughtered the entire village, killing the village chief and all the servants. In the end, your cousin also died by your own hand. However, your actions attracted the attention of the Empire, and they began to send mercenaries and soldiers to hunt you down, regardless of life or death.

At 14, after two years on the run, you've completely embraced the darkness. Donning a pitch-black mask, you resemble a ninja. You've forgotten the meaning of mercy and become a killer, willing to kill anyone for money without batting an eyelid.

At 15, during your time as a killer, you witnessed too much darkness and injustice. Eventually, you grew unable to bear it any longer, no longer killing for money, but out of your own will. Through your insights, you discovered the empire's deepest decay, rotten from within and without. Just as people decay, so too will nations eventually fall. Even the imperial capital, prosperous for millennia, was nothing more than a corrupt hell on earth, where demons and monsters in human form roamed with impunity! "If Heaven cannot punish evil, we will vanish into darkness!" you vowed inwardly.

At the age of 16, after a mission went awry, you were captured and all your companions perished. Despite the purgatory-like torture, you managed to survive through incredible willpower. But as a result, you were shackled and enslaved. Witnessing countless meaningless acts of resistance and sacrifice, your heart died, numb and silent, as if you no longer had any attachment to the world.

One month ago, you were bought by a noble girl with a lovely exterior but a vicious heart and a wicked personality. You became her male slave. Her perversion humiliated you, and she enjoyed luring country folk who came to the imperial capital from other places to make a living into her home and then torturing them to death. But you eventually lost your will to fight, and decided to die, once and for all.

Now, after being tortured into a coma, you dreamed of your true name, "Shen Yuan." You seemed to understand everything: why you appeared in this world, and what you represent. You opened your eyes. Sixteen years of training have sharpened your will like a blade. Hatred and anger can no longer control your emotions, and your methods will be as ruthless as thunder, slashing all corruption with your sword. Now, you have awakened!

......

"Buzz!"

In the dark and damp dungeon, a pair of cold and ruthless eyes suddenly opened.

Shen Yuan looked down at the heavy shackles on his hands and feet. His expression was extremely cold. He remembered his identity and everything.

"Although it's just background information, who knows if there's a parallel world where I actually went through all this?"

Shen Yuan clenched his fists, his joints creaking, and the anger that he had suppressed in his heart had reached its peak.

But soon——

He took a deep breath to calm his inner anger.

"Zhe", who has completely abandoned kindness and mercy, is the leader of the Shadow Sect.

In desperation, he activated his mysterious shadow form.

This is a form of evil magic that, while powerful, is also very dangerous and corrupting.

But Jie has completely mastered this forbidden technique, using it to destroy threats he sees as threats, to protect his country, and his sect.

[Hero Template: Shadow Lord "Zhe"]

【Level: 11】

[Skills: Shadow Ninja Technique! Soul Destruction (Passive), Shadow Secret Technique! Blades (Q), Shadow Secret Technique! Clone (W), Shadow Secret Technique! Ghost Slash (E), Forbidden Secret Technique! Instant Prison Shadow Killing Formation (R Ultimate)!]

[S-level talent: Blades]

【Mythic Equipment: "Draxxar's Duskblade"! 】

It seemed that he had gone through the early training, so after absorbing this memory fragment, Shen Yuan's level directly became "11".

But is this a strong start?

I paid for it with my life!

"If I had chosen the Noxian leader, I might have chosen to help the Empire this time."

"But unfortunately, I am a killer, a shadow lord without emotions."

Because he had put himself in so many situations, Shen Yuan felt a little numb and tired at this moment.

He gripped the dark, scarlet-glowing Duskblade of Draktharr tightly, and easily cut the chains and shackles on his hands and feet. The terrifying force instantly freed him from the restraints.

"Chi..."

Shen Yuan exhaled a breath of cold air. He looked down at the tattered prison uniform on his lean body. He could vaguely see many wounds on his strong abdominal muscles that were stitched with blades.

"It's time for a reckoning between us."

When he raised his head again, Shen Yuan picked up the black iron mask on the dungeon beside him and covered his face with it. On his face, whose features could not be seen clearly, a pair of blood-red eyes like sickles opened.

He walked straight towards the iron wall of the dungeon.

His body passed through the iron gate unhindered, and he could vaguely see a shadow clone in the depths of the dungeon that looked exactly like him but was extremely dark and was slowly disappearing.

After crossing positions with his shadow clone, Shen Yuan appeared outside the dungeon.

"Ok?"

The two guards hired by the noble lady seemed to have heard footsteps. When they turned around in surprise, one of them fell down with a puff, covering the huge bloody hole in his abdomen. The man who killed him seemed to have disappeared and became invisible behind the other man.

"Who is it... Ugh!"

Just as the terrified second man was about to make a sound, he was ruthlessly pierced through the chest by the sword of the invisible Shen Yuan behind him, and immediately fell to the ground with a chill in his heart.

boom!

After he fell to the ground, Shen Yuan, who had used the killing effect of Draktharr's Duskblade to become invisible, appeared in front of a cell dozens of meters away.

"..."

A pair of bright eyes in the dungeon looked at him in horror. Shen Yuan glanced sideways and saw a slightly dirty girl hiding inside, shivering and looking at the sword in his hand that was dripping with blood.

(PS: I'm afraid some people might say I'm torturing the protagonist, so I'd like to state this in advance. The background setting of the simulation is just to give the protagonist a reasonable identity to kill, to increase the sense of substitution, so that there is no such thing as a saintly heart. The simulation is just another identity, and the protagonist of the main world is the real person. Moreover, this story will not suppress the protagonist's strength, so he can show his strength as much as he can.)

Chapter 31: The invisible blade is the most deadly!

"Crack!"

The lock of the iron gate broke at the sound, and not only hers, but also more than a dozen nearby boys and girls, including those who had long been dead and turned into dry bones, were all released from their cages.

"I'll create chaos, and you guys take the opportunity to escape."

Shen Yuan turned his back to the group of frightened and bewildered people and walked forward. Suddenly, his powerful hands pushed open the heavy iron door.

crunch--

The heavy iron door of the dungeon was opened, and some bodyguards kept by the nobles who were guarding the door looked behind them in disbelief.

Before they realized who came out.

He felt a chill on his neck, and then warm blood spurted out uncontrollably. Unable to make a sound, he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes open.

"what happened......"

The servants in the mansion were walking in the corridor. In the moonlight, they looked in panic as a ghostly, dark, masked figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Available in the next second.

As if teleporting, the ghostly black masked figure appeared in front of them. There was a monster like a shadow, waving the shuriken in its hand, piercing their bodies in a straight line. Everyone fell straight to the ground, bleeding.

Not long after, in the silent aristocratic mansion, a vague black shadow appeared at the door of the eldest lady's room.

"How many times have I told you not to disturb me while I'm showering?"

A slightly angry shout came from inside the room, but the figure outside was unmoved. He put his hand on the door lock, and with a click, the door was opened.

But, it's gone.

The figure outside the house seemed to have never appeared, only a shadow clone on the ground was slowly disappearing.

"Who is so bold..."

Just as the lovely young lady was about to get angry, she felt a gust of cold wind and the sound of someone's breathing coming from the wooden barrel behind her neck. She immediately turned around in fright and screamed.

“Ahhh—Help!! There’s an enemy, come and save me!!”

But no matter how she shouted, the group of minions lying in a pool of blood outside were already beyond help.

They are all dead.

She died under the sword of "Shadow", and the owner of Shadow - Shen Yuan appeared in front of the noble girl, sat beside the wooden barrel, and looked down at her from above.

"You...who are you?!"

When she realized that no one came to rescue her, the noble girl looked at the extremely tall figure in front of her with fear. In her memory, it seemed that she had never offended such a strong man.

"I am the Dark Blade, and I am here to kill you."

Shen Yuan's voice sounded like cold steel, with an emotionless metallic tone.

This made him different from the disheartened teenager before, and more like a machine focused on killing.

"No, no! You monster... please don't kill me, I can give you a lot of money! I can give you anything, if you want, I can also..."

"I only want your life. Your death would be the greatest pleasure for me."

But obviously she couldn't be allowed to die so easily.

Shen Yuan raised his hand and motioned the noble girl to look outside. Suddenly, a group of young boys and girls who had been tortured and abused by her appeared in the yard. They all looked at this side with resentment and anger. After getting Shen Yuan's permission, they pounced on them like wolves and tigers, ready to avenge the murder of their childhood sweethearts and good friends.

"Go to hell, bastard!!"

Seeing this scene, the noble girl suddenly became angry, jumped out in a step, ran to the clothes and pulled out a pistol. Although this world is an era dominated by cold weapons, there has been progress in the development of hot weapons such as muskets.

"You mere animals dare to attack your master! You are so despicable! Die, all of you!"

The girl pulled the trigger frantically, but the next moment her arms and the weapon flew off.

"Ahhh!!"

"I gave it to you."

After Shen Yuan finished all this, he walked outside.

however.

"That, thank you!"

The girl who was initially saved by Shen Yuan ran over and looked at him with tears of gratitude. The girl's empty and numb eyes seemed to have a little more luster. She looked at Shen Yuan while crying, and seemed very scared.

"No need to thank me, I have always had a grudge against her..."

"Woohoo! Thank you so much!" After seeing that Shen Yuan was a boy of the same age as her, the girl rushed over crying, hugged his legs and burst into tears.

"Really... Then tell me about it."

Shen Yuan touched her head, then sighed and began to ask a few questions.

It turns out that the girl's name is Sau, and she has a childhood sweetheart named Tatsumi.

In response to the empire's policy, he wanted to go to the big city to work hard to save the poor village, but on the way to the imperial capital with Tatsumi, he was attacked by a thief and was separated from Tatsumi.

Later in the imperial capital, Shayou was imprisoned as a toy by the noble girl Arya and her parents.

At the same time, because the other party was jealous of her beautiful long black hair, she was almost tortured to death.

If it weren't for Shen Yuan's appearance and his sudden surge of powerful strength, Shayou would probably have died within a few days.

But Shen Yuan's power did not come out of thin air.

It was something he already possessed, but the boy had lost the will to live because he had experienced too much pain. It was Shen Yuan who awakened this will to kill and allowed him to stand up again.

But Shen Yuan was not a true assassin who was brainwashed and trained through countless assassination techniques.

So his good nature was not extinguished, but he was a person of flesh and blood.

Some people can be killed, while others need to be protected.

"You... can cry as much as you want."

Shen Yuan hugged the head of the girl who was almost collapsed and held her in his arms.
