Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

[...Host? Are you listening?]

Faced with the system's barrage of voice commands full of a middle school-like vibe, Ash opened his mouth to speak, his young face visibly flushed.

No, you brag so much, don’t you see what state I’m in now?

I finally made it to eighteen years old in my miserable second life, and not only did you not restart the system without saying a word, but you also act like a middle school student with StarCraft syndrome?

The more Ash thought about it, the harder it became to remain calm, and the redder his face became.

If he hadn't turned into a baby and couldn't speak, he could guarantee that the relatives of his unreliable system were already flying in the sky.

Perhaps sensing Ash's strong emotional fluctuations, the system finally found the problem.

[Excuse me, I just woke up and didn't pay attention to the current situation.]

[I have now activated the mind communication function. This function will only read your surface thoughts, and your consent is required each time it is used.]

If you agree, you can think of the word "agree" in your mind and tell me your thoughts.

Faced with the system's unreliable yet somewhat useful statement, Ash temporarily suppressed his emotions, agreed to the other party's chat request, and began to greet -

'Can I speak Tibetan?'

[Uh...Right now, you need to understand the current situation more than venting your emotions.]

【For example, the area you are in, and how I can help you. 】

"You haven't answered my question yet, could you please stop changing the subject?"

'I ask you, can I speak Tibetan?'

[...You can certainly speak Tibetan, but I think you should first understand the current situation so you can better deal with any problems or changes that may arise.]

"Then tell me, what have you done for me?" Ash suppressed his anger and said, "What can you do?"

[Your current location is the Age of Gods Greece, which is the most brilliant and romantic era in Greece.]

This brilliant era is like a wave, bringing forth legendary heroes one after another and writing immortal chapter after immortal chapter.

[But even though there were countless Greek heroes, only one person could give this era a name.]

[Its name is——]

"The era when Heracles, the greatest Greek hero, was born...right?"

Seeing the system's words being so childish, Ash immediately understood the historical context and asked, "I know the era. Tell me what you can do."

Like I said, you can be whatever you want to be.

[The help I can provide you is to gather all the changes of the times and turn them into a thread in your hand.]

【As long as you want, you can obtain the skills of any hero of this era and experience the corresponding story.】

"I said stop!" Ash interrupted the system's generous speech and said bluntly, "Speak human language."

Predict the future.

'That's it? ’

Ash couldn't hold back.

What do you mean by "that's it"?

[You should know that in this era, there is no shortage of sudden, unexpected, and deus ex machina-like changes.]

Only those who can accurately observe the fluctuations of fate can accurately anchor the future direction.

[Not only can I provide you with the ability to observe fate, but I can also help you extract power from fate.]

Ash understood.

"So, you're a simulator?"

"What era is this? We're still working on simulators in the Type-Moon world." Ash grumbled, "Can't you just be a little more straightforward and give me magnetic field power just by signing in?"

"Don't tell me there are any limitations to your simulation, like what specific resources are needed to simulate it, and that these resource requirements are only going to keep growing?"

【…】

'Is this really all you can do?'

[...I have to admit, compared to your requirements...I am indeed at this level...]

It’s okay. Although this system is a bit useless, at least it’s not stubborn.

Ash calmed down and said, "Since your system requires specific resources to simulate, please tell me what these resources are, how to obtain them, and how much I have."

【OK. 】

[Each simulation consumes 'Voice of Singing'. 'Voice of Singing', as the name implies, is the degree to which your life, once transformed into a story, will be sung.]

[Because you are still a baby and do not have your own story, your current number of resources is 0.]

"What is this?"

"You sent me to the Greek Age of Gods, and you didn't even give me the resources for one simulation? And you still have to let a baby like me earn simulation resources first?" Ash was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "You're so stupid! The novice tutorial has a charging tutorial, right?"

"I've worked in the church for eighteen years and have exorcised so many demons, but don't I have any stories or stories to tell?"

[Your previous life was certainly legendary, but I used all of these resources wisely, giving you a better simulated life, ensuring you won't suffer any accidents or injuries before the simulation.]

"So you used my fame points to get the initial level, and you ran out of money, right? Now that you're done, tell me, the initial level you got was this orphan abandoned under a tree?"

[Uh...you're both right and wrong...]

"Right and wrong? Are you trying to say that I'm an orphan subjectively but not objectively?" Ash laughed angrily, "Then tell me who my biological parents are and where they are now."

[Your father is dead, and your mother... is right before your eyes...]

"In front of me?" Ash was stunned. "There's nothing in front of me except the tree... You're not saying this tree is my mother, are you?"

【...Yes. 】

[She fell in love with someone she shouldn't have and prayed for God's help, breaking a taboo.]

[You are the proof of her taboo, a child who will be blessed by the gods.]

There is never a shortage of people who transform into flowers, birds, fish and insects in Greek mythology. If I don’t give you a mother who transforms into a tree, how would you know this is Greece, right?

"Then let me ask you, what taboo did my biological mother commit that allowed her to turn into a tree?" Ash laughed angrily, "Could it be that she is the sister of the God's Generation?"

[No, she is Kamishiro Airi.]

?

? ?

???

Ash was silent.

After a long silence, only one sentence was left:

Okay, that’s very Greek.

Chapter 3 Don't Follow the Vulcan Rhythm

Ai Li, whose real name is Akizuki Ai Li.

She is one of the heroines in the famous cartoon "Father's Love is Like a Mountain". She is a filial daughter who has moved countless audiences and made her second brother cry.

If someone else had such a biological mother, Ash would have probably laughed out loud and commented sharply that he had it in his lifetime.

Unfortunately, he couldn't laugh.

This start is even more outrageous than the one involving the ghost-fire yellow-haired guy and the toilet girl in technical secondary school!

And what does it mean that one can be blessed by the gods with this kind of background?

Are you saying that my start is so tragic that even God would want to help me?

Ash was numb, completely numb.

He didn't even have the mood to greet the system's non-existent parents. He just wanted to reopen as soon as possible to avoid being laughed at for the rest of his life.

Perhaps it was because the start given by the system was too abstract, so abstract that just complaining about it was enough to exhaust one's energy, Ash finally calmed himself down.

Now that things have come to this, let’s look forward.

"Let me ask you a question... How did my biological mother become a tree?"

After the blessing bestowed by God expired, he was hunted down by someone who felt ashamed to face the world, and eventually turned into a tree.

"...It seems my biological father is still a victim..." Ash sighed and then asked, "Then how did he die?"

He chose self-respect.

"...Good fellow, so stubborn? But it's not surprising, at least it can save me from some bad reputation."

After sighing, Ash continued, "Since my biological mother is so abstract, she should be somewhat famous, right?"

[Of course there is, but you mean...]

"I want to inherit her fame," Ash said, "Don't tell me you can't do it."

[Of course you can...but I didn't expect you to be so straightforward.]

"Nonsense, with such amazing parents, how can I not get gold coins?" Ash urged, "Is the legend she left behind enough for me to simulate?"

[You have inherited your family's singing points. Your current singing point balance is: 50]

[Currently predicted amount needed in the future: 10]

[Excuse me, do you want to predict the future? ]

You know what, you really don’t know, it seems that my cheap mom’s song is quite popular?

Even if the requirements for predicting the future double at each level, this is at least enough for two simulations!

"System, simulate it for me." After the gold coins exploded, Ash's mood suddenly improved a lot. "Let me see your strength!"

【OK. 】

[As a baby, you can't survive on your own and can only wait for the kindhearted people passing by.]

You waited from the sun's zenith to the moon's zenith, and finally met a kindhearted person—Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting.

Seeing that you were a poor orphan, she blessed you and planned to bring you into the courtyard to raise you.

[But she soon noticed the remnants of 'love' and 'beauty' in you, which made her give up the idea of raising you and hand you over to the believers of the Goddess of Beauty, who became your adoptive parents.]

[Under the careful care of your adoptive parents, you successfully grew into a qualified shepherd.]

On the first night of your herding trip, you prepared to offer a sacrifice to Artemis in gratitude for her blessings, but on the way you saw a beautiful woman.

[The beauty has long fiery red hair, fiery red wings, and a face so exquisite that it makes you feel as if you have seen the emperor of Chaldea.]

[A beautiful woman comes to you and makes a passionate and intense confession to you.]

[Faced with the beauty's confession, you not only don't feel honored, but instead feel endless terror.]

[Because the beauty who confessed her love to you is none other than the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite!]

[Knowing that you were destined for a painful fate, you called out to Artemis, begging her to bring you relief.]

[Under your desperate call, the goddess sighed and shot out a golden arrow, answering your prayer.]

[Your deeds will be sung by future generations, and you will be called a young man blessed by moonlight and beauty.]

[Skill available in this simulation: 『Moon Goddess's Favor (B)』]

Not a buddy?

What am I simulating? A melodramatic short story unique to Greek mythology?

Ash stared at the simulation results for a long time.

"System... Is this the predictive future you mentioned that can help me control my destiny?"

【Yes. 】

"Do you think I'm just a brittle shepherd who wants to die when he sees Aphrodite?"

Please don't misunderstand me, this is the future I predicted, not a random story.

"Then tell me why I didn't even want to struggle when I saw Aphrodite, and I just wanted to die!" Ash couldn't help but curse, "Is Aphrodite a scary smoke mirror? How could she scare me like this?"
