Faced with the Doomsday Life Simulator's question, Zayne asked, 'Can you first explain how this works? I mean, I've read a lot of novels regarding simulator system cheats.'
'However, I'm not certain if mine works the same as theirs.'
To not expose his system or prevent anyone from eavesdropping, Zayne communicated with it in his mind.
[The Doomsday Life Simulator System allows the host to simulate your future and life in a given doomsday scenario.]
[For example, the simulator will randomly draw a doomsday scenario, and one of them might be a zombie apocalypse scenario. In that case, the host can experience life in a zombie apocalypse world.]
[Of course, it's not limited to that, as there are also different kinds of doomsday scenarios like the Helios Extinction Event, where the sun explodes and humanity faces such a world-ending scenario.]
[Not all doomsday scenarios are winnable and survivable, as some can be a dead end. However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.]
[The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.]
[The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.]
[Moreover, when starting doomsday life simulations, the host can not only choose a doomsday scenario, but also three talents to assist the host in his survival.]
[Simulation talents from low to highest are graded as White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Gold, Red.]
Reading the explanations given by the Doomsday Life Simulator System, Zayne pondered for a while before deciding to start the simulation.
'I'm not sure if other people possessed powerful combat-type talents, but even if they aren't considered a threat, those zombies definitely are.'
'The faster I become stronger, the more I can accomplish within this damn Apocalypse World Update Era.'
After allowing his system to start a doomsday life simulation, Zayne heard a notification sound in his mind.
-Ding!
[The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:]
[A. Helios Extinction Event]
[B. AI Singularity Rebellion]
[C. Global Ocean Survival]
[D. Acid Rain Catastrophe]
Faced with those four options, Zayne asked the system what those four doomsday scenarios were.
He soon received a reply, and as the system had informed before, the Helios Extinction Event was when the sun exploded, and humanity was pretty much doomed.
The AI Singularity Rebellion was when machines and AI seized control. They'd start a war with the human race to become the dominant race, and according to the system, humanity was about to be defeated, so that was out of his option.
Those two doomsday scenarios were pretty much a dead end, so choosing them would only cause him to suffer.
As for the Global Ocean Survival, it was when the entire global population was thrown into a vast world where 99% were water and 1% were land.
Everyone would start with a raft, and they'd have to survive and compete with each other for resources. According to the system, this doomsday scenario has a power system and a unique product that made Zayne interested in it.
On the other hand, the Acid Rain Catastrophe was pretty straightforward. Acid rain suddenly became the norm, and more severe cases could even corrode buildings, so while it wasn't a dead end, survival was very difficult.
In the end, Zayne chose Global Ocean Survival as he was coveting the power system in that world since he needed to become stronger in this world.
-Ding!
[The selected doomsday scenario is Global Ocean Survival!]
[Before the life simulation starts, the host can choose three simulation talents from six random talents.]
-Ding!
[The host can choose three of these talents: White (White), Water Breathing (Blue), Unlimited Food Creation (Gold), Absolute Compass (Orange), Sword Master (Blue), and Swimmer (White)]
[White (White): Your skin becomes truly white, and the chances of it becoming tan or black are drastically lowered. Your surname becomes White, and you inherently possess white privileges. However, you possess the tendency to become racist toward those who aren't white.]
[Water Breathing (Blue): Allows you to breathe underwater by temporarily converting water into a breathable medium. While active, your lungs can safely intake water, extract dissolved oxygen, and expel oxygen-depleted water without causing suffocation or lung damage.]
[Unlimited Food Creation (Gold): Allows you to create any edible food that has existed within the current world out of thin air, without consuming resources or energy.
The created food may include all known cooking methods and culinary techniques, executed at the peak standard achievable for that dish.]
[Absolute Compass (Orange): A soul-bound compass that points toward the location of the target defined by your intent. The compass provides direct information only and does not reveal distance, danger, or outcome. Moreover, targets must exist within the same world layer.]
[Sword Master (Blue): Grants exceptional proficiency in sword-based combat.
You instinctively understand sword fundamentals, including stance, grip, timing, edge alignment, and combat flow, allowing efficient use of swords regardless of prior experience.]
[Swimmer (White): Significantly improves your swimming ability.
You gain enhanced buoyancy control, reduced water resistance, and instinctive swimming techniques, allowing faster and less exhausting movement in water.]
Faced with those six talent options, Zayne contemplated, 'I'd have to acquire simulation talents that can lengthen my survival time in the Global Ocean Survival doomsday scenario.'
'Unlimited Food Creation is a must as it can create food out of thin air with no energy cost, and even in this world, it will be very useful.'
'Absolute Compass is highly required since I'd start with a raft surrounded by nothing but a vast ocean. Relying on it for navigation is crucial.'
'As for the third talent, it seems Water Breathing is a better option considering that if I have to fight underwater or my raft is destroyed, I can still survive shallow waters.'
'If it were another doomsday scenario, I might have preferred the blue-grade Sword Master talent. However, survival is more important than combat, so Water Breathing it is.'
Ignoring those white-grade talents like White (White) and Swimmer (White), Zayne chose Unlimited Food Creation (Gold), Absolute Compass (Orange), and Water Breathing (Blue).
-Ding!
[The host has chosen the following talents: Unlimited Food Creation (Gold), Absolute Compass (Orange), and Water Breathing (Blue).]
