What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

*Ding!* Charging complete. The [Wonderful Childhood Simulation System] is now activated.

"?"

What...what is this?

A beautiful childhood simulation system?

Upon hearing the system notification, Ron was stunned for a full minute before suddenly bursting out:

"What do I need a happy childhood for?! I need power!! I need revenge!! What do I need a happy childhood for?!"

Ron was starting to lose his composure.

What kind of wonderful childhood simulation system is this? It sounds like something only kids would play with.

Although Ron is indeed about the same age as a child... he's a grown-up inside!

What kind of wonderful childhood simulation system does he need?!

Upon hearing the system's name, Ron's face flushed red with anger, but as if on purpose, the system, sensing Ron's emotions, spoke again:

*Ding! Host's emotional state has been detected as highly agitated, with a sharp increase in negative emotions. Treatment is urgently needed. The first simulation of a happy childhood will now be conducted for treatment...*

"Wait...wait! I don't want any simulation!! Just get me out of here first!!"

Upon hearing that they were going to simulate a wonderful childhood, Ron immediately couldn't stand up straight.

In two days, the kingdom's knights will come to the refugee camp to test the magical aptitude of the eligible children.

If Ron and his sister Selena had magical aptitude, then even without the sphere... simulation system, Ron would be able to learn the power of revenge.

Ron was eager to activate the system simply because he wanted to become stronger faster.

But now, he knows nothing about this simulation system, and yet he has to conduct his first simulation.

God knows how long this first simulation will last!

God knows what this damn simulation will turn me into!

With everything uncertain, the most important thing Ron needs to do right now is to stop the simulation!

However, the simulator won't stop as Ron wants.

The simulation system has been activated and the world coordinates have been anchored.

May the host experience a wonderful childhood, clear away negative emotions, and become a well-rounded young person full of ideals and youth.

That's all for now. Have a great time! (laughs)

"(Laughs) What the heck?! Stop it!!!"

Amid Ron's complaints and screams, the pure white space shone brightly once again.

In the light, Ron lost consciousness.

Chapter 2 What kind of wonderful childhood is this?!

"Ron...Ron, wake up! Ron!!"

"Whoa!!!"

When Ron regained consciousness, he heard a boy's voice.

Ron, whose consciousness was still stuck in the moment when he was forced to undergo the simulation by the simulation system, suddenly sprang up from the ground as if he were having a nightmare.

His actions startled the boy next to him who had woken him up.

"Wow! Ron, are you alright? Did you have a nightmare?"

"?!"

As Ron gradually regained consciousness, he was stunned for two seconds before turning his head to look at his side.

Beside him was a boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.

The boy had short, black hair, brown eyes, and a round face—the kind of serious baby face that looked quite cute.

Looking closer, the boy was wearing a blue and white school uniform with the words "No. 3 Middle School of a Certain City" embroidered on the left chest.

"An Yan?"

For some reason, the moment Ron saw the boy, he said his name.

An Yan is a student in Class 1, Grade 1 of the Third Municipal Middle School. He and Luo En are classmates who sit at the same desk.

Immediately afterwards, Ron's own identity also surfaced in his mind.

Ron, a student in Class 1, Grade 1 of No. 3 Middle School, is a classmate of An Yan and sits at the desk in front of An Yan.

No…is that right?

Ron stared blankly as he went through the memories that suddenly appeared in his mind.

But he quickly realized that this was a simulation of his own identity in the world!

The simulation system essentially created an identity for him out of thin air, allowing him to better integrate into the simulated world.

But that's not the point!

Realizing he was in a simulated world, Ron ignored the little kid beside him and immediately shouted to the system in his mind:

"System!! System, come out here!! Didn't I say to stop the simulation? Are you deaf?!"

"..."

No sound.

Ron paused again, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and silently recited in his mind the pattern he had read in novels:

"...Summon the panel? View personal attributes? Exit the simulation? Stop the simulation?...Even if you don't do anything, you should at least tell me what I'm supposed to do in this simulated world!!"

Ron called out several times, but the system remained silent.

Could it be because I was reciting it silently that the system couldn't hear me?

That shouldn't be the case. Isn't telepathy a basic capability that the system should have?

Ron scratched his head, and finally muttered under his breath, "...Summon the panel?"

"..."

Still nothing.

What a piece of junk system this is!

Seeing that the system had just dumped him here and then abandoned him without a word or any notification, Ron was furious.

An Yan, standing to the side, saw Ron sit up, first staring blankly, then muttering something under his breath, and a look of worry appeared on his face:

"...Ron, did you hit your head?"

"..."

You're the one who got your head smashed!

Ron wanted to curse back instinctively, but when he turned around and saw the little kid who was even younger than him after he transmigrated, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

Forget it, I've lived two lives, and my combined age is older than his father's. Why bother arguing with a little kid?

Since we can't summon the system now and have entered a simulated world, we might as well explore what this simulated world is all about.

Anyway... where is this place?

Once he calmed down, Ron realized that he and An Yan were not in the city, but in a deep mountain forest.

All around were tall trees and overgrown weeds. Strangely, despite the tall trees and abundant vegetation, the sunlight was plentiful, and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all despite being deep in the forest.

Even looking around, one can see that everything is bright, without any eerie or terrifying atmosphere.

"...Where is this?"

Ron finally asked the question.

Seeing that Ron had returned to normal, the boy An Yan breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"I don't know either. We were camping in the wild... and then... then it seemed like there was thunder? After that, I don't know anything. When I woke up again, I found ourselves here."

Camping? Thunder?

Ron tilted his head in thought, and then a special memory flowed into his mind, allowing him to briefly understand the cause and effect of the matter.

The No. 3 Middle School in the city held a summer camp, which any student with free time could attend. The location was not far away, just on a mountain in the city.

The school's original intention for this summer camp was to cultivate students' autonomy, and not only students, but also teachers and some parents will attend.

In addition, such a large event has been reported to the city, and the police, ambulances, and fire brigade are waiting at the foot of the mountain so that they can go up and rescue people in time if any accident occurs.

It should have been very safe.

But who could have imagined that, halfway through the summer camp, lightning and thunder suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by dark clouds that looked like a torrential downpour was about to begin.

At that time, the class teacher was leading the students out to pick wild game. When he saw that it was about to rain, he immediately organized everyone to return to the campsite.

then……

Then I don't remember Ron much.
