Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Novel: Game World

An hour quickly passed, and Rahul had completed his studies. Lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, he muttered, "Now is the time. Neo, show me the panel."

[Dimensional Traveling System]

Status:

Name: Rahul Carey

Personal: 1 billion F.C

Net Worth: 500 billion F.C

Dimensional Points: 0 [1 F.C = 1 D.P.]

Simulation chance: 1 free attempt

System Mall:

Inventory: [Dungeon: [[F-grade 210 stat crystals], [420 gold coins]]

A panel appeared before his eyes, and even his body trembled with excitement. Now, with the memories of his previous life, he knew how to use the system.

The most amazing thing was that he had a net worth of 500 billion Federation Coins—something he hadn't even known about—proving just how incredible the system was.

After a thorough inspection and careful consideration, Rahul decided to use the Simulation Chance. But before doing so, he asked,

"Neo, what is the time ratio between the simulation and the real world?"

[Ding]

[The ratio between the real world and the simulation world is 1 sec: infinite.]

"What!" he exclaimed excitedly with his wide opened eyes. Without hesitation, he decided to use the Simulation Chance. However, before that, he wanted to strengthen himself using the stat crystals.

"I need to buy some techniques and skills," he thought and ordered, "Neo, open the system mall."

[Ding.]

[System Mall is deactivated.]

[Please use Simulation once to activate.]

Upon seeing this, Rahul just smiled and muttered, "Let's try our luck," before clicking on the Simulation Chance.

[Ding.]

[You have selected Simulation.]

[Please select one of these worlds:]

1. Movie

2. Web-Series

3. Novel

4. Imaginary World

Upon seeing these choices, a troubled expression appeared on Rahul's face.

"Which one should I choose?"

But soon, his gaze fell upon Imaginary World, and he became confused for a moment.

"Imaginary World? Aren't movies, web series, or novels imaginary worlds?" he wondered before asking, "Neo, what is an Imaginary World?"

[Ding.]

[Imaginary World: A world that has never existed or been described. It is an illusory world.]

Just a glance, Rahul understood that this referred to a world that was purely imagined but never fully defined.

He guessed that an Imaginary World might be the most dangerous of all.

The reason was simple, people imagine worlds where they accomplish great things but never fully define the structure or rules. This meant anything could happen in such a world.

"A world simply consists of a set of rules and nodes that bind everything together like cobwebs. No matter what you do, you can't escape—you will always exist as long as there is a relationship between the rules and the nodes."

"That means the Imaginary World is just a partially constructed world where nothing is balanced, so the chance of impossible things happening is also possible. That's why it's a disaster to simulate this world," Rahul muttered, diverting his attention to the Novel option, as there are many types of novels, so the benefits also lie there. He clicked on the Novel option.

[You have selected the novel world.]

[Please select one of these]

1. Urban

2. Eastern

3. Games

4. Fantasy

5. Sci-fi

Upon seeing these prompts, an excited expression appeared on Rahul's face, "That means my chances have increased," and stared intently at the choices.

He began to analyze the good and bad factors. His gaze fell on the Urban option, "In the initial state, it may simulate a weak urban world, where the world setting and its power may be lower than in my world."

With this consideration, he left this choice and moved on to the Eastern option. Without even thinking, he discarded this choice because his world already had a game-like setting, whereas Eastern novels focused on cultivation. This option might be more suitable once he had enough foundation in his world.

His gaze then fell on the Games option, and somehow its world seemed to fit with his choices. He decided to add it to his selection. Likewise, he noticed that his world also fit with Fantasy and Sci-fi, as its foundation was fantasy, and machinery was also somewhat famous in his world.

After considering many factors, an issue arose: which one should he choose?

After some time, Rahul decided to go with the safe flow and chose the Games option.

[Ding...]

[Selecting a game world...]

[Game world level selected: Low]

[Simulated game world grade from low to highest: Low, Mid, High, Super, and Extraordinary]

[The game world selected - Game Descend: Utopia]

Upon selecting the game, Rahul found himself alone in a blank space, and there were prompts before his eyes.

[Simulation game world - Game Descend: Utopia starting...]

[Whether?]

"Huh! Where is this?" Rahul asked, confusedly. Soon, the prompts also appeared, which cleared his doubts.

[Ding...]

[This is the privilege space where the host will automatically come when the simulation world starts.]

"Oh!" Rahul exclaimed and muttered, "As expected of Neo," and without delay, he started the simulation world.

[It is up to the host to uncover the secrets of the simulated world.]

[The more accomplishments the host achieves, the higher the simulation reward.]

[No other simulation world can continue until the host achieves an EX-grade.]

[Host gets a chance to select one talent from three random talents.]

[Talent grade from low to highest: Low, Mid, High, Super, and Extraordinary]

[Select one of the talents:]

Sleepwalker [Low]: You have the talent for sleepwalking. Just remember not to enter other people's houses.

Runner [Low]: Your running speed is higher than the average person's.

Taunt [Mid]: You have the talent to attract monsters.

Seeing the talents displayed in front of him, Rahul couldn't help but smile. "Expected."

He decided to go with "Taunt" because "Sleepwalker" and "Runner" didn't seem to offer much benefit. After all, in the game world, he might unintentionally wander into a monster's nest while sleepwalking, and although being a faster runner had its advantages, he could always increase his agility using attribute points. As for "Taunt," it seemed like a useful talent, especially since he didn't have to attract monsters for farming.
