Chapter 11: Simulation Score Is Great(-), Inheriting Power!
[While considering the idea, you thought it was somewhat plausible. Even if it didn't work and might even cause your death, this was merely a god simulation, so your real life wasn't at risk.]
["Well, I don't have any other options, so I might as well try this whimsical method of mine." After deciding, you finished your cup of coffee and decided to head back to the Sky High Gang base to get the avatar crystals from Viktor and Sedrick.]
[Since Sedrick had submitted to you, you currently had two avatar crystals in your possession. One was Viktor's avatar crystal, and the other was Sedrick's.]
[But as you reached for the napkin to wipe your mouth, your martial artist instincts sensed imminent danger.]
[However, it was too late. As soon as you touched the napkin, your body exploded, as if you had triggered a hidden bomb.]
[You died.]
[Remark: Although you awakened an avatar, you still died the same way. Pathetic.]
[The god simulation is over.]
[Died at the age of 18.]
[This god simulation's evaluation: Great(-)]
[Reward 1: Martial Arts Master (Blue)]
[Reward 2: Invisible Providence]
Faced with these two rewards, Linsley didn't care about the remarks of the God Simulation System.
Anyway, he not only received his Invisible Providence avatar but also the Martial Arts Master (Blue) talent!
In other words, he no longer had to worry about his close-quarters combat abilities since his martial arts skills were at the peak of human capability. Although they couldn't defeat supernaturally powered humans, defeating ordinary humans was easily within his reach.
The martial arts talent was also useful for self-defense against other avatar masters, as their bodies were vulnerable. This would prevent other avatar masters from exploiting that weakness against him.
A few seconds after the god simulation ended and the simulation rewards were shown, Linsley felt a surge of power within his body.
As the surge of power coursed through Linsley's body, he felt his senses sharpen and his muscles become more responsive.
The knowledge and skills of the Martial Arts Master (Blue) talent integrated seamlessly with his mind, granting him precise control over his movements and techniques.
Simultaneously, the presence of his Invisible Providence avatar settled within him, its eldritch-like powers ready to be unleashed at his command.
Linsley took a deep breath, feeling the newfound strength and confidence welling up inside him. With these abilities, he was no longer just another pawn in the chaotic world dominated by the Outer God and its lackeys.
He was now equipped to fight back, to protect those who couldn't protect themselves, and to seek out the elusive path to ultimate power.
Only by becoming the strongest would Linsley feel that his life wouldn't be at the mercy of others.
He looked around his small apartment. It was a far cry from the luxurious accommodations he enjoyed in the god simulation, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that he now had the tools he needed to change his fate and the fate of this god-forsaken world.
Linsley had a lot of free time since the college entrance exam hadn't started yet. Being a slave of the Outer God also had its perks.
Although he couldn't choose his future, as it was already decided by the Outer God, he didn't have to worry about working part-time jobs to earn money. His living expenses were provided for.
His apartment might be small, but it wasn't bad.
The Outer God had arranged his future, including his job and marriage. It was decided that he would focus on becoming a doctor, with all tuition and expenses covered as long as he passed the entrance exam.
Remembering this, Linsley muttered, "But if I fail the entrance exam... I'll be executed."
"Fuck! Just how messed up is this world? I can't decide my future, and even my wife is decided by the Outer God. Who knows if that damn Outer God will give me the female version of an ugly bastard?"
"And even if it's someone beautiful, I'd have to wonder if she's a virgin or has been sullied by the lackeys of the Outer God."
Thinking of this possibility, Linsley swore, "I'll become as strong as possible to fix this god-forsaken world!"
As if responding to his will, purple-colored tentacles emerged from Linsley's body as he spread out his domain, summoning his avatar, Invisible Providence.
Currently, Linsley was using his identity distortion ability to create an alternate identity for himself—the one he would use to go up against the lackeys of the Outer God.
He planned to use his power for the greater good and was serious about it.
He intended to assassinate the lackeys of the Outer God to ease the burden on the magical girls and mecha drivers.
Linsley wasn't worried that the Outer God would intervene, as it was currently in slumber. The Outer God was focusing all its attention on devouring the world's will and needed to sleep to concentrate fully.
Soon enough, Linsley managed to craft his alternate identity in this god-forsaken world.
He decided to use the same identity he had in the Avatar World. In other words, his alternate identity was Phantom Reaper, aka Linley Sinclair.
The ability to distort his identity was quite powerful. Removing one letter from his name had the same effect as entirely changing it.
In other words, no one would suspect he was Linsley Sinclair even if he called himself Linley Sinclair in his alternate identity.
The effect of his identity distortion was similar to the transformations of magical girls and mecha drivers.
Even if the appearance of the magical girls didn't change much from their true identities, such as having the same face and hair color, no one would be able to tell that the two were the same person.
That was the extent of the World Will's power. It was a rule-type power, and only when magical girls were caught in the middle of their transformation would their true identity be revealed.
While Linsley was thinking about the magical girls and mecha drivers and planning to assassinate the lackeys of the Outer God, he heard a loud explosion outside.
"Oh? Is there another battle between the magical girls and mecha drivers against the lackeys of the Outer God?"
Linsley pondered, "I might as well join them. This is the best opportunity to test out the power of Invisible Providence!"
