"Ah! It's so hot! It hurts! What's going on?"
Lucian's face was a mask of confusion. The searing pain he'd felt as soon as he'd woken up was like being burned.
When he saw his surroundings, he was dumbfounded.
"Who are they? Why did they tie me to the fire!"
He was now tied to a cross, his hands and feet tightly wrapped in chains.
The underside of the cross was piled high with firewood, which had now been lit.
The raging fire enveloped him, and the intense heat and red flames were licking at his body.
Just as Lucian was panicking, an unfamiliar memory flooded into his mind.
After a few minutes, his eyes went from confused to clear, then to horrified.
"I transmigrated? And became an angel!"
In this memory, he finally understood his current identity and the world he was in.
It was a fantasy world of angels, demons, godly powers, and magic.
Now he was the image of a blond Westerner.
He was handsome and had fair skin. From time to time, his eyes would reveal a look of melancholy.
This was the image of his body in his memory.
He was an angel serving in the Kingdom of Angels. He was originally on a mission in the mortal world.
But during the mission, the aftermath of the battle pushed an innocent human woman into the middle of the speeding road.
Seeing that she was about to die, Lucian couldn't help himself and used his divine powers to save her.
And it was this act that had led him to commit the crime of the Kingdom of Angels.
As an angel, he was not allowed to use his powers to interfere with the life and death of mortals.
And so, after his trial by the ruling God King of the Kingdom of Angels, he was sentenced to be stripped of his divine powers.
He was to be chained to a cross, roasted in divine fire, and stripped of his powers.
Lucian stared wide-eyed at his surroundings, trying to prove it wasn't an illusion.
There was a wide hall in front of him. Rows of seats faced Lucian neatly like a pilgrimage.
Not far in front of him, clear holy water flowed in a stone basin.
He looked up. On the roof was a large picture of the Virgin Mary.
To his right was another statue of the Virgin Mary nursing.
The towering arched windows on either side were painted with various religious motifs.
Patterns and wallpapers like the Creation of Adam, the Last Supper, the Kiss of Judas, the birth of Christ, the birth celebration, and others that recorded ancient Western legends filled the nave.
At this moment, the hall was empty. This quiet space gave people a holy feeling.
But Lucian was in no mood to appreciate or feel this holiness.
He could not use the powers in his body to block the burning of the divine fire.
Intense heat crept into his body through every pore.
He felt something important to him draining out of him.
"Ah!!"
The pain was so intense that Lucian couldn't help but roar.
Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. His body was weakening. He felt like he wasn't going to make it.
"No way! Am I going to be the first person to burn to death right after crossing over?"
Lucian was beginning to despair when a mechanical voice sounded in his head.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Angel Simulator!]
[Detected that the host is in a life-or-death situation. The system is simulated for the host given the development of the following events!]
[1: In the face of the judgment of the Kingdom of Angels, the good in you choose to do nothing and surrender.]
[Angel Calendar Year 1112. You were 99 years old. In the face of the God King's ruling, you made no struggle. You died.]
Hearing a sudden series of voices in his head, Lucian woke with a start.
"System? I've awakened the system! The cheat has finally arrived!"
"So based on the current situation, if I do nothing, I'll die! So the so-called deprivation of divine power is to be obliterated!"
"This Kingdom of Angels is so inhumane! Just decide to execute an angel, just like that! It's not like I committed a crime!"
Lucian cursed under his breath. He didn't like the Kingdom of Angels at all.
At the same time, the system's voice continued.
[So you decided to reincarnate as a fallen angel in your next life!]
Lucian finally understood the purpose of the Angel Simulator.
Although the system called itself an Angel Simulator, Lucian thought it might be more appropriate to call it a Fallen Angel Simulator.
Because as long as he did the decadent act unique to Fallen Angels and committed the so-called crime in the Kingdom of Angels, he would be rewarded.
And the so-called depraved acts were the Seven Deadly Sins preached by the Kingdom of Angels.
Which meant Arrogance, Jealousy, Rage, Laziness, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.
"System, tell me how I can start the simulation?"
Lucian was very pleased with the system. 'Isn't it just committing depraved acts?'
He's well versed at it!
And he had no love for this so-called Kingdom of Angels. He felt no guilt at all.
He couldn't wait to find out how he could get out of this situation.
[This system can simulate the host's next life and predict the future.]
[There's no limit to the number of simulations per day. Every simulation requires gold coins to recharge.]
[The first simulation every day requires 200 gold coins, the second requires 400 gold coins, the third requires 800 gold coins, and so on!]
[Before each simulation begins, the host can randomly draw three talents. The talent grade is drawn at random.]
[The quality of talent is ranked according to White, Green, Blue, Purple, and Gold. Gold talent is the best, and White talent is the worst!]
[After the simulation ends, the host can choose one of the talents to keep, and the three talents can continue to refresh.]
[At the end of the day, the host can choose one talent as a permanent talent. It will not overlap with the three talents drawn every day!]
After listening to the system's self-introduction, Lucian finally understood how the simulator worked.
"So you need to charge gold coins to run the simulation. But I'm a prisoner now. Everything on me has been plundered! Where can I find gold coins to run it?"
Once again, Lucian despaired. He'd thought that gaining the system meant gaining hope.
However, he did not expect this hope to be just a bubble that he could hope for but not reach.
As Lucian groaned inwardly, the system spoke again.
[Ding! A New User Gift Bag has arrived. Reward: Three free simulations!]
[The host has not activated the simulation today. Would you like to proceed with the first simulation now?]
For a moment, Lucian was stunned. Then he fell into ecstasy.
As expected, the system would never disappoint!
"System, begin simulations!"
Excited, Lucian gave the instructions.
The raging fire was almost too much for him. Lucian couldn't wait to be free.
