[Attention all examinees!]

[The simulated reincarnation is about to begin, please proceed to the examination hall immediately.]

[Latecomers will be considered as forfeiting their qualification for reincarnation!]

Jiang City.

Sixth District, First Middle School.

With the announcement echoing through the air.

Countless senior high school students clad in blue and white uniforms dashed toward the testing venue.

Lu Yuan found himself in the midst of the crowd.

"Ah Yuan, do you reckon we'll snag a D-level rating and turn into simulators for real?"

The plump lad beside him gulped anxiously and inquired.

"Have faith in yourself; you're bound to succeed."

Lu Yuan offered reassurance.

Yet deep down, he harbored little hope.

In the midst of simulation, all sorts of unforeseen perils and mishaps frequently arise.

Such as abrupt catastrophes, demise in early years, or a cursed twilight of life...

Confronting these unforeseeable disasters.

For a regular pupil like Lu Yuan, unable to purchase any reincarnation aids, securing a D-level evaluation was a feat tougher than ascending the skies.

"The instructor mentioned that on the initial simulation, each person gets to randomly pick a lifelong talent."

"I wish my fortune holds out, not like my mom's bad luck, pulling an E-level talent [Dishwashing Expert], scrubbing plates in a hotel for more than a decade."

"What about your father though?"

Lu Yuan queried offhandedly, unwittingly striking the chubby boy's painful memory.

"Dad fared even poorer; he got the E-level talent [Be a slave]!"

"Your household... it's truly going through tough times."

Lu Yuan regarded him with compassion.

However, reflecting on his own situation.

He let out a heavy sigh.

Having crossed over as a transmigrator, he had dwelled in this realm for eight years already.

Yet distinct from his former existence.

This realm featured widespread simulations alongside eerie incursions.

Malicious deities murmured into ears, while dark fog engulfed urban areas.

Undead hordes, vengeful ghosts, demonic entities from the abyss, and the followers of the Evil God ravaged the globe.

Beneath the menace of the uncanny.

Human settlements crumbled successively, and the average lifespan for common folk barely exceeded forty years.

One wrong step might spell instant doom!

To endure.

The sole path lay in transforming into a simulator.

Provided they attained a D-level score within the reincarnation realm.

They would acquire the strength to defy the eerie and break free from the doom of brevity in life.

Yet should the simulation falter.

That signified.

They forfeited their prime worth.

And ended up as mere underlings to the elite, eternally stuck at society's depths without any chance of ascent.

The plight of Xiaopang's folks served as prime illustrations.

While conversing, they stepped into an academic structure.

"I'm assigned to hall number 1, so I'll go ahead."

Lu Yuan bid farewell to the chubby boy and swiftly located his assigned hall.

Within the lecture room.

No tables or supervisors were present.

In their place stood scores of futuristic egg-like slumber chambers.

Every chamber bore a numeral on its flank, denoting each pupil's test sequence.

Lu Yuan pinpointed his position.

He extracted his student ID and swiped it across the chamber's detection panel for confirmation.

Accompanied by a 'beep,' the entrance slid open on its own.

Lu Yuan settled straight into it.

The slumber chamber boasted a sophisticated air circulation and purification setup, ensuring comfort even with the lid sealed.

In addition.

It came equipped with numerous amenities, such as needling therapies and healing capabilities.

You could remain inside for half a year, and it would sustain your vital processes.

Moments later.

The announcement resounded once more.

[Attention all examinees!]

[The hibernation pod can anchor your soul, preventing you from getting lost in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!]

[Examinees who have not yet reached the examination hall, please enter the hibernation pod within three minutes!]

[The countdown for the start of the examination!]

[3, 2, 1!]

[Simulation reincarnation starts!]

Right after the declaration.

Every student got suddenly wrapped in a brilliant white glow.

Lu Yuan sensed his awareness soaring swiftly, akin to blasting off in a spacecraft, ultimately surpassing a vital threshold before blacking out completely.

[The simulation mark has been activated.]

[You can use this mark to perform a simulated reincarnation.]

[Hint: The time flow in each world is different, once the simulation starts, no matter how long you spend in the simulation world, only one day will pass in the main world.]

[The simulation score will be evaluated based on personal achievements, world impact, and main quest completion, among other comprehensive factors.]

[If the first simulation score is below D-level, you will permanently lose your simulation qualification.]

[After the simulation ends, you can exchange the simulation points you earned for powers, talents, and various items in the store.]

[Remember! In the simulation world, revealing your identity as a simulator to anyone is strictly prohibited, or you will be directly erased!]

Upon Lu Yuan's awareness resurfacing, he discovered himself amid a blank void.

And upon the rear of his right palm.

An intricate patterned crescent emblem materialized.

Without delay.

A rush of data flooded his thoughts.

[For the first simulation, you can view a life script for free.]

[Randomly selecting the reincarnation world and retrieving your simulation experience!]

[World: One-Star Martial Arts World]

[Simulation difficulty: Hard]

[Introduction: This is a modern world about to face a dark invasion, Martial Dao is the world's last hope.]

[But this world is lacking in spiritual energy, Martial Dao is declining, technology is rising, and ancient martial arts have gradually become mere performance art. Perhaps in another few decades, Martial Dao will be completely forgotten.]

[Main quest: Restore the glory of Martial Dao!]

[Age 0, you are born into a martial arts family, a boy.]

[Your parents run a small martial arts school with a good reputation locally.]

[You are the only son of the family, your birth brings great joy to your parents, they love you dearly, always providing you with the best toys and food.]

[Age 1, you like to kick off the covers while sleeping at night, accidentally caught a cold, had a high fever for several days, and from then on, you were left with a physical weakness.]

[Age 3, your father's strength had severely declined due to injuries from past competitions, he was defeated and humiliated by Hall Master Changfeng in the martial arts hall evaluation that happens every five years.]

[Age 5, Hall Master Changfeng advanced to become an Inner Strength Novice Martial Artist, gaining instant fame, your family's martial arts school was heavily oppressed, nearing bankruptcy again.]

[Fortunately, your family had some assets, your father decided to sell off most of the ancestral heritage and spent a fortune to hire an expert with Great Success in Internal Strength from outside.]

[Age 7, with the Chief Martial Artist's support, your family's martial arts school's business somewhat recovered, but the Chief Martial Artist was secretly associating with Changfeng Martial Arts Hall instructors, this made your father suspicious.]

[Age 8, you showed promising talent in Martial Dao, but regrettably due to childhood frailty your cultivation progress was slow.]

[During a bout, you were severely injured accidentally by the Chief Martial Artist's disciple.]

[Your father rebuked the Chief Martial Artist for abusing his position and planned to dismiss him.]

[But inviting a god is easy, sending one off is hard, the Chief Martial Artist had treacherous ambitions, colluded with Changfeng Martial Arts Hall, and usurped all your family's assets, forcing your whole family out of the martial arts school.]

[Your parents exhausted all their networks and means, yet not a single person was willing to offend an expert of Great Success in Internal Strength for you.]

[The family fortune was seized, you were betrayed and isolated.]

[Your father, overwhelmed with rage, had a heart attack and passed away.]

[Age 10, your mother took you to live anonymously in another country.]

[Age 12, you worked tirelessly, practicing martial arts day and night, finally achieving Minor Success in External Strength, giving you a glimmer of hope for revenge.]

[Age 13, you reached Great Success in External Strength, but the Chief Martial Artist spent a fortune to hire the Red Lotus Sect to assassinate you.]

[You were captured by the Red Lotus Sect to undergo gene experiments, endured tremendous suffering, and were tortured to death.]

[Upon learning of your death, your mother couldn't bear such a devastating blow, her spirit collapsed, and she died in grief!]

[Evaluation: Your life was like a tragedy, filled with hardship and misfortune.]
