In the wild, somewhere in a forest.
Listening to the sound of waves nearby, Marsh pondered over how he had just get Isekai'd to this place and get a system.
[Congratulations to the host on successfully activating the Ultimate Villain Simulator system.]
[This system allows the host to simulate possible lives. If you perform well in the simulation, you will receive generous rewards.]
[Note: The host should try to play the role of a villain in the simulation. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.]
"So, you mean that as long as I complete a life simulation through the system, I can receive rewards?"
[Yes.]
"But what does it mean to 'play the role of a villain'?"
[The system requires the host to continually create despicable, shameless, and detestable incidents in the simulated life to increase negative ratings. The higher the negative score at the end of the simulation, the richer the reward.]
"…To be honest, that sounds tough."
As a youth raised under good society and having received 16 years of education, Marsh had never really done anything heinous before get Isekai'd.
[Are you what they call a Goody Two-Shoes?]
"Not wanting to do bad things makes me a goody two-shoes now?" Marsh rolled his eyes. "I just don't want to hurt others."
[Please rest assured, host. Everything that happens in the simulation has no effect on reality. Nothing you do will harm anyone in the real world.]
"Alright, let's start then."
Hearing this, Marsh felt a bit more at ease.
[The simulation is about to begin. Please choose three out of the following talents. At the end of the simulation, you can retain one as a fixed talent.]
[Note: Talent rarity is ranked from lowest to highest as white, blue, purple, red, orange, and gold.]
[Destitute (White): Growing up impoverished, you harbor resentment against society.]
[Official's Child (Blue): You were born into an official's family (official rank is random).]
[Gambling Addict (White): Fate of the compulsive gambler.]
[Opportunist (Blue): Increases the chance of rewards when committing malicious acts.]
[Hates Do-Gooders (White): In your view, everyone who does good is a hypocrite.]
[One More Chance (Purple): If you die in the simulation, you have one chance to retry.]
...
'You have to give credit to this simulator... these talents are bloody by design.'
'It really wants to mold me into the role of a villain boss!'
Despite his complaints, Marsh chose [Official's Child], [Opportunist], and [One More Chance].
The other options were honestly too bad. Not picking would have been better!
[Simulation begins!]
[Age 0: You are born in Marineford; both your parents are in the Navy.]
Marineford? Did he get Isekai'd into One Piece?!
But why in the Navy?
The Navy upholds justice... how can he supposed to be a villain there?
[Age 1: When you reach for an object, you grab a wooden sword. Your father is delighted, believing you'll become an outstanding Navy officer in the future.]
[Age 2: Your mother dies during a mission. Your father is promoted to lieutenant and hires two nannies for you.]
Two nannies... isn't that a bit extravagant?
[Age 3: Perhaps due to being alternately nursed by two nannies, your physique is larger than other children your age.]
[Age 4: You live comfortably with your two nannies.]
[Age 5: Your two nannies take turns breastfeeding you and you are not yet weaned.]
Hey, hey, hey! This is getting out of hand! Who still drinks milk at five years old?!
[Age 6: You're old enough for school, but you still haven't weaned. Your father reluctantly dismisses the nannies and weans you forcefully.]
"Good thing my father knows better! Imagine the embarrassment if people found out I was still nursing at six!"
[Age 7: While wandering around to avoid school, you see other Navy officers' kids bullying a black-haired girl. What will you do?]
[A. Protect the weak]
[B. Join the bullies]
Does that even need thinking?
"I, Marsh, can't stand seeing a girl being hurt!"
"I choose A!"
[You stand in front of the girl, intending to protect her. Although you're somewhat large, you haven't trained due to your father's busy schedule, and you die after being kicked in the chest by a burly boy. Simulation ends.]
???
It's over just like that?
Are kids in One Piece this ruthless? One kick and he dead?!
[Would you like to use the One More Chance talent to restart the simulation?]
"Yes, yes, use it!"
[Restarting…]
[Age 7: While wandering around to avoid school, you see other Navy officers' kids bullying a black-haired girl. What will you do?]
[A. Protect the weak]
[B. Join the bullies]
"I-I choose B!"
"Sorry, little girl, please forgive me!"
Choosing A means dying!
[You join in bullying the girl. However, the black-haired girl is quite capable, using a wooden sword to put up a good fight, leading to a draw. During the scuffle, you accidentally touch a soft part of the girl's breast.]
[The girl glares at you and says fiercely, "I, Gion, will remember this grudge!"]
