Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Judging from Puck and Emilia whom we met before, this world also possesses magic, and even a power called "Blessing".

If Wood wants to improve himself in this Sims, he must acquire new powers in this world.

And through a brief exploration, he also discovered the differences in his current body, and what kind of power the so-called "protection" was.

Blessing, in short, is a divine power, a special power bestowed upon us by the world.

Those who possess "blessing" can have their abilities enhanced exponentially in certain areas; they are truly blessed by the world.

(Happy Lunar New Year's Eve everyone! I forgot to send a greeting on my other account (▽｀))

Not everyone can have a "blessing", and not everyone can only have one kind of "blessing".

Even the power of "blessing" is not necessarily innate; some extraordinary individuals can acquire it later in life.

Of course, there are also cases where some people receive "blessings," but the power of the "blessings" is quite weak or even completely useless.

Wood had just discovered, after some exploration, that his body was also a person with "blessings," and not just a single blessing, but a rare person with double blessings.

Wood's first blessing is "Knight's Glory," which enhances his willpower, recovery ability, and resistances after becoming a knight.

Well, overall it's a good blessing, but it's too restrictive. After all, whether a "knight" needs to be officially recognized or can be self-proclaimed as a knight remains to be confirmed.

As for Wood's other "blessing," Wood was quite satisfied with it, which was named "Blessing of the Bright Moon."

As the name suggests, this blessing is related to the moon, and its effects are quite simple and straightforward.

That is, wherever the moonlight shines, Wood's all attributes will be enhanced to a certain extent, and he will be immune to a certain degree of abnormal status.

Moreover, he doesn't feel tired even if he doesn't fall asleep at night.

Of course, once daytime arrives, the accumulated fatigue will return to the body in an instant.

Searching his mind for information about "blessings," among the "blessings" that Wood currently knew, his "Blessing of the Bright Moon" was considered an extremely powerful type.

If he can become stronger simply by being under the moonlight, then wouldn't that mean his world is completely at night...?

"Leaving aside any other unexpected gains in this world, this 'Blessing of the Bright Moon' alone is enough to make the price of the simulation of life in all worlds worthwhile."

Now I just don't know how much of a boost "Blessing of the Bright Moon" will give me, and how to best utilize the blessing of "Knight's Glory."

Just like in The Sims, compared to my own body in the One Piece world, which has been honed through countless trials, my current physical strength is definitely incomparable.

However, Wood also discovered that his current body was much stronger than his self in the Zero no Tsukai no Mi world, and was even no weaker than his self in the Musho Tensei world.

"It seems this body has been trained quite a bit. With just a little practice, it should be strong enough to master the Six Forms."

Since it's a medieval Western world, there must be kingdoms, and there must also be knightly orders, right?

"Why don't you join a knightly order first, make good use of the first blessing, and incidentally elevate your status? Maybe you can gain more control over the power of this world?"

Since Wood didn't have any better ideas at the moment, after hesitating for a while, he finally decided to go to the capital to participate in the Knights' assessment.

Becoming a knight allows one to utilize the first blessing, and also because the chances of encountering a strong opponent are obviously higher in the capital than in a remote town like this.

Wood is currently on the border of the Kingdom of Lugnica, in the territory of Count Roswaal L. Mezas, and it will take at least several days to get to the capital.

So Wood rented a local earth dragon for two silver coins to use as a means of transportation, preparing to head to the capital according to the map.

Everything was going quite smoothly. On the way from the border to the capital, Wood encountered some monsters, but he killed them all with ease.

However, just as Wood had killed a wolf-like monster in front of him and took out the map again to confirm his location, he suddenly felt a strong dizziness in his brain!

Wood had almost never encountered this situation before. At first, he thought he was being attacked by some powerful, unknown entity, so he held his mind and forcibly mustered his strength.

However, the overwhelming dizziness eventually robbed him of his consciousness, and when he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him left him completely stunned!

Because he should have been in the middle of nowhere, he had just been momentarily stunned and now found himself back on the streets of the town.

At first, Wood thought his system had malfunctioned, causing him to time travel again.

But when he looked at the apple he had taken a bite out of in his hand and heard the familiar hawking sounds in front of him, Wood suddenly realized that he had not traveled through time again, but that time had been reversed to a state more than an hour earlier!

At first, Wood couldn't believe that such an outrageous thing could happen, but because he didn't know much about this world, he assumed that it might be a special mechanism of this world.

However, when he returned to the place where he had previously rented the earth dragon, Wood was surprised again by the enthusiastic inquiries from the owner. He discovered that not only had time reversed, but the memories of the inhabitants of this world had also been reset!

If it had been a long time, that would be one thing, but Wood had just rented a dragon recently. Logically speaking, even if the owner had a bad memory, he shouldn't have completely forgotten him.

However, after Wood asked some questions, the other party said that this was the first time he had met Wood, and even the way he introduced the earth dragon to Wood was exactly the same as the previous time!

Completely bewildered, Wood had no choice but to rent another earth dragon from the owner. Fearing that his previous actions might have triggered some world mechanism that caused the world to revert, Wood even rented a different kind of earth dragon.

Having chosen a different route and switched to a different breed of Wood, they once again embarked on their journey to the capital.

Wood kept a close eye on the time as he walked. If this time reversal was a fixed time mechanism, then something should happen at the corresponding time.

As dusk fell and Wood saw the sun gradually setting, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected, the time reversal just now must have been a sudden bug; otherwise, this world would be too strange."

Wood had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there would be no more accidents since the first time travel had already occurred, when a familiar and intense feeling of dizziness struck him again.

"Damn it, did I just waste another hour running around for nothing...?"

With the familiar apple in his hand and the clear hawking sounds in his ears, Wood, who had just snapped out of his daze, was undoubtedly back in the same spot.

"Even changing the route and the type of earth dragon didn't help, and everything, including stamina, has returned to its original state..."

What the hell is going on in this world?! Is it possible that the stage for this world is merely this town, so once I decide to leave, time will return to its starting point?

This speculation is not impossible. After all, like some games, there are "boundaries" or similar things. Once the boundary is crossed, the character will die.

To verify whether his conjecture was correct, Wood did not attempt to leave the town for the capital this time. Instead, he went to a tavern to eat and drink to his heart's content, and finally returned to his room after a satisfying meal.

However, just as he lay down on the bed, that damn dizziness struck again!

What annoyed Wood was that he was completely unable to resist this force. Even though he managed to withstand the dizziness and keep himself conscious, when he came to his senses, he was back on the same street.

And this time Wood did not attempt to leave town, which means his previous assumption was wrong.

The condition for the time reversal was not whether he tried to leave the town, but what Wood found even more perplexing was that this time the time reversal actually occurred faster than the previous two times!

In other words, this thing has no fixed time or place of activation; it is completely unpredictable!

"What the hell is this? 'Trying to trap me in the same day for tens of thousands of years?' Even so, at least other games have a fixed 24-hour period where the effect takes place."

But what the hell is going on now? Even if I do nothing, I'll still be thrown back to where I was.

If we include the One Piece world, which is the main world, Wood has been to several worlds, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation, and it makes him feel quite annoyed.

Because no matter what he does or doesn't do, once the "time rewind" effect is triggered, Wood will be thrown back to the starting point.

It felt as if my life had become something that no longer belonged to me, but rather something that others could manipulate at will.

Wood, now back to square one, did not take any action this time, but instead stayed put and began to analyze the situation rationally.

Even in another world, such an outrageous mechanism is unlikely to exist, and if it is the influence of the world's mechanism, it usually has a fixed activation time.

Based on Wood's previous observations, this "time reversal" phenomenon is completely unpredictable in terms of both the time and place it occurs.

It's less a fixed world mechanism and more a product of someone's ability, or rather, a cheat code...

The ability to "reverse time" is practically a bug; calling it a cheat code wouldn't be an exaggeration. Although the world has the power of "blessing," Wood doesn't believe any kind of "blessing" could be this ridiculously strong.

Possessing this power to break the rules is unlikely to be a power that native inhabitants could obtain; rather, it seems more like the ability of certain cheaters.

Those who possess such cheating abilities usually have a special profession: the so-called "time traveler"!

"It must have been that kid named Natsuki Subaru who did it, right? There doesn't seem to be any other possibility besides him now..."

After sorting out his thoughts, the next step, naturally, was to find the time traveler from before in order to verify his conjecture.

Although Subaru Natsuki is just as incompetent as an ordinary person, making it extremely difficult to find him by his aura, he is currently wearing a tracksuit, which is considered unusual in this other world. Therefore, finding him in a crowd is not too difficult.

Wood leaped effortlessly to a high place, then his figure continued to leap between high-rise buildings, his excellent dynamic vision quickly taking in the pedestrians below.

After searching for more than ten minutes, Wood had almost explored the entire town before finally finding Natsuki Subaru, whom he had been looking for, in a small alley.

Unfortunately, before Wood could even approach him and speak to him, he saw from a distance that Natsuki Subaru had been stabbed to death by the thugs who had ambushed him in the alley!

"Looks like I guessed wrong again. If that kid had an ability like 'World Reversal,' which is practically cheating, he wouldn't have died such a pathetic death..."

Seeing Natsuki Subaru lying in a pool of blood, Wood felt that even if he rushed over now, he probably wouldn't be able to save him.

However, just as Wood was about to overturn his previous conjecture because of Natsuki Subaru's death, he found that the intense dizziness was coming back again!

When Natsuki Subaru opened his eyes again, he felt as if he had been through a lifetime. He clutched the back of his kidney where he had been stabbed. He realized that he had returned to square one. He felt a sense of relief at first, but then a deep sense of powerlessness followed.

That's right, the so-called "world reversal" is indeed Natsuki Subaru's ability as a transmigrator, also known as a "cheat code".

Natsuki Subaru should have been quite happy to possess such amazing abilities.

After using his ability several times, Natsuki Subaru finally realized just how useless his ability really was!

The ability of "time reversal" cannot directly increase Subaru Natsuki's combat power, and while this ability is controllable, it is not entirely controllable.

The fact that it's controllable means that Subaru Natsuki has already discovered the activation conditions for this ability. Although it's an extremely frustrating death condition, at least he knows the activation conditions now.

As for the uncontrollable factors, the point in time that is reversed each time "time flows back" is not something that Natsuki Subaru can control.

His ability is more like a game save point; the save point is limited to a certain plot or timeline. Once he dies, he will directly load the save point from the previous save point.

Including this time, Subaru Natsuki has died four times already, so there have been a total of four "time reversal" phenomena.
