Nagasaki Sase often thought this way, and couldn't bring himself to ask again, so he ultimately chose to remain silent.

"Anyway, don't overthink it. It's just a coincidence. It's late, and you have class tomorrow."

Nagasaki's mother shook her head, stood up, picked up her bag, and casually changed the subject.

She stood up, patted her daughter's shoulder, and urged her daughter on, clearly not wanting to discuss the topic any further.

Nagasaki Sase looked up at her mother, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing. She nodded: "I understand, Mom."

Back in her room, Nagasaki Sosei sat quietly at her desk, her gaze fixed on the night view outside the window, but her thoughts had already drifted far away. "Wakaba Ichinose, where are you?"

Gradually, Nagasaki Sase's thoughts became increasingly blurred, and the night view before her eyes began to be shrouded in a hazy mist.

She leaned against the desk, hugging herself, the name "Ichinose Wakaba" still echoing in her mind. A wave of exhaustion washed over her, and her body involuntarily relaxed. Her eyelids began to droop, blinking repeatedly until finally, unable to stay open any longer, they closed.

The girl's breathing gradually became steady, her brows relaxed, and a peaceful expression appeared on her face. She lay there on the desk, quietly falling asleep.

However, Nagasaki Sase's breathing became rapid, and his fingertips curled slightly, as if he was trying to grasp something but always failed.

The moonlight shone on the girl's face, reflecting her slightly pained expression, as if she had been dragged into a chaotic abyss by some invisible force.

The brown-haired girl frowned, suggesting her dream was far from peaceful.

Chapter 40, Let's be together forever.

Ichinose Wakaba stood rooted to the spot, his muscles seemingly bound by some invisible force, unable to move. His pupils contracted slightly, his gaze fixed ahead. The air distorted with intense heat, and the strange figure seemed to slowly emerge from the burning flames, carrying an oppressive aura that transcended reality.

At first, it was merely a vaguely outlined doll, its lines stiff as if drawn with hasty brushstrokes on a canvas. The surrounding heat blurred her vision, and the entire space seemed to tremble. A faint, scorching aura permeated the air, and Ichinose Wakaba's breathing involuntarily quickened.

Gradually, the flame-like light began to dim, and the blurry outlines became clearer. The lines of the figures began to come alive, as if they were breaking free from the canvas.

In Ichinose Wakaba's gaze, the blurry figure gradually became clearer, no longer a solitary entity. As time passed, the flame-like light faded, and the originally indistinct figure gradually became clearer. The lines of the figure began to soften, as if it had broken free from the shackles of the flames and stepped out of the boundary of illusion.

Brown hair fluttered gently in the wind, and as the figure gradually came into view, Nagasaki Sosei's face became clear before Ichinose Wakaba's eyes. Her eyes still held that deep, questioning look, as if she were always pondering some unsolved mystery. She stood in the high temperature, her figure upright without appearing to struggle.

But her expression was far from calm; she seemed to be under some unseen pressure, her anxiety and confusion clearly visible. Her soft brown hair danced in the wind, and with each step she took, the heat in the air seemed to surge with her presence.

“Nagasaki Saseyo…”

Ichinose Wakaba murmured to herself, thinking about how she had run into the other person while looking at the house.

An unexpected turn of events led him to encounter someone he had been trying to stake out but hadn't met.

"This must be destiny."

After some chuunibyou-ish thinking, Ichinose Wakaba began a new life simulation.

[Do you want to select this character for simulation?]

[Difficulty Options: Low, Medium, High]

【Do you want to select advanced?】

【Yes. 】

[This life simulation is set to High difficulty]

[Please select an initial affix. After the scenario ends, you can choose one as your default affix based on the evaluation. Furthermore, at the end of the simulation, the level of your existing affixes will be randomly increased.]

[Cooking skills (white): Slightly better than a roadside izakaya, because you added expensive spices.]

[Massage Technique (White): The massage parlor owner's skills might not be as good as yours.]

[King of the Kids (White): You are very popular with children.]

Please select one term from the given list above. After selecting, begin the first simulation of "彡罒零二师扒事".

Please make a selection.

Needless to say, the simulation difficulty remained consistent, and Ichinose Wakaba chose the high level—after all, she wouldn't die.

Ichinose Wakaba, who prefers to challenge himself with high difficulty levels before playing the easy mode, began analyzing the three new terms that appeared after selecting the difficulty.

"They all look like entries with no clear meaning."

The ambiguity here doesn't refer to not understanding the meaning of the terms, but rather to Ichinose Wakaba's lack of understanding of the role these terms play in the simulation.

For example, regarding his previous status, Ichinose Wakaba thought he would get a similar start to Hoshino Aqua, since the entry already stated that he would get a clown father like Kamiki Hikaru.

If there hadn't been only three options to choose from in the last simulation, Ichinose Wakaba would never have chosen "You have a clown father like Kamiki Hikaru".

After all, being with the Joker will turn you into the Joker.

He actually got in, and Ichinose Naruto said it was really good.

So, Ichinose Wakaba began to analyze these three seemingly ordinary terms that might have unexpected effects.

After all, there is nothing useless in this world, only garbage in the wrong place.

"I hope this entry will bring me an unexpected surprise."

After thinking about it, Ichinose Wakaba chose the only one of the three that seemed to be a very conceptual term.

Should we choose the King of Kids (white)?

【confirm. 】

【Start simulation.】

[The simulation officially begins.]

[Note: During the simulation, the simulated object's memories will be retained. Please be aware of this.]

[You were born at age 0, an orphan. In this unfamiliar world, your birth was not special. No relatives embraced you, no warm cradle, only a dilapidated hospital and its cold walls, silently witnessing everything that happened to you. Although you cannot yet understand this loneliness, it invisibly formed the starting point of your life.]

You were adopted by a strange woman. She had no smile on her face and cold eyes, but she took care of you and gave you an ordinary name.

Your world is small; your daily memories are limited to the bed in front of you, the woman with the perpetually furrowed brow, and the occasional voice of a stranger. You gradually learned to cry, to laugh, to depend on others, but more than anything, you silently endured.

At age two, you reached school age and were sent to a nearby kindergarten by the woman who adopted you. Because of your enhanced physical abilities and reputation as a leader among children, you became the unsung king of the kindergarten.

[At 3 years old, you enjoy the gifts from your classmates every day and live a very comfortable life.]

[A 4-year-old couple moved into your neighborhood. They seem very loving and have a lovely daughter.]

One morning, on your way to kindergarten, you run into this couple. They're enrolling their daughter in school. Because she's the leader of the kids, she's been following you around ever since they moved in. When they see you, the father smiles and asks you to look after his daughter, while the mother stares intently at your face with a frighteningly intense look.

[At 5 years old, you suddenly have a little tagalong following you around. A girl with her bangs swept back, revealing her large forehead, really likes you, the older boy next door.]

A girl named Soyo says she wants to be your wife when she grows up.

You might just be taking this as a child's joke, but some people don't see it that way.

[At age 6, your relationship with Ichinose Sase is growing stronger. Your busy work schedules mean you don't have much time to spend with her, and neither do your parents. The woman who adopted you is rarely seen; the only sign that she's alive is the money on the table each day.]

At age 7, your adoptive parents passed away, and you became a person alone. However, instead of being sent to an orphanage, you were adopted by the Ichinose couple next door, and your name was changed to Ichinose Wakaba. Your younger sister was very happy because this way she could be with you every day.

You are happy because you won't have to be sent to an orphanage anymore.

Your father is also very happy because he has regained an important family member today.

Everyone in the family was happy, except for one person.

[At 8 years old, you died, or rather, you and your father both died. You died by your mother's knife. Ichinose Sase went insane after witnessing his mother kill his beloved older brother and father.]

Actually, I named the main character Ichinose because of Ichinose Hiba.

Chapter 41 I am the Fist of the North Star!

[Simulation ends. 】

[No evaluation will be given because the simulation failed.]

"Is this some kind of bloody end?"

Ichinose Wakaba looked at the simulation results in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched. This outcome was completely unexpected.

I never imagined it would turn out like this.

"By the way, why did Nagasaki Sase's mother kill her husband?"

In the original storyline, Nagasaki Sosei's mother was arguably the most normal person among the parents who appeared in Mygo and the Mother Hen Card.

Only Toyokawa Kiyoko, who was swindled out of the Toyokawa family for being sincere and relied on his daughter for support, and the entertainer couple, Ruoye and her husband, who were oblivious to their daughter's breakdown and multiple personality disorder.

Compared to the parents of Toyokawa Shoko and Ruoye Mutsu, Nagasaki Sase's mother, although not given a name, did things that, apart from being busy with work, were worthy of the meaning of the word "parents".

Why would someone like that commit the act of killing her husband and children in a simulation?

After thinking for a long time, Ichinose Wakaba was about to explode with frustration but still couldn't understand why Nagasaki's mother killed her husband.

"In reality, these two people are just divorced. Also, why kill an innocent child?"

In this life simulation, Ichinose Wakaba felt that she died a very unjust death.

Then, I tried two other keywords to conduct a more challenging life simulation. The result was even worse than the first time.

The ending of choosing the cooking skill option is simple: Ichinose Wakaba freezes to death on the day she is born.

After selecting the massage technique entry, Ichinose Wakaba was adopted by a craftsman, and then during a massage together, she was stabbed to death by "You bastard, you actually touched my woman!"

"As expected, I can only start with the easy difficulty."

Lamenting that the system couldn't be the same as the advanced difficulty of the life simulation game "My Child Is a Protagonist," Ichinose Wakaba chose the easy difficulty.

[Do you want to select this character for simulation?]

[Difficulty Options: Low, Medium, High]

This life simulation is set to low difficulty.

[Please select an initial term. After the script ends, you can choose one term as a permanent term based on the evaluation.]

[Cooking Skills (Gold): You think you're a master chef? Actually, you're Shinpei Kozo ( )]

[Massage Techniques (Red): Your fists can kill; have you heard of Fist of the North Star? ()]

[King of the Kids (Gold): You're very popular with children—dare you define what a child really is? I think you're a child yourself!]

[Playing the flute (purple): Your flute and xiao playing skills are like a mountain spring cascading down from a great height, crashing against the mountains and splashing up thousands of waves. With each note, you lead the listener to gradually reach a high crescendo. The sound of flowing water seems to transform into a surging river, rushing towards the distance. The notes, like waves, flow one after another into the endless distance until everything returns to calm.]

[Yangko dancing (gold): You could dance like that for three days and three nights straight without stopping.]

Please select three terms from the given list above. Once you have made your selections, you will begin this simulation.

Please make a selection.

"Playing the flute is also a form of music, isn't it?"

Ichinose Wakaba pondered for a moment, considering the resonance between the music and magic entries in the previous simulation. He first chose the music-related entry "playing the flute (purple)," and then "massage techniques (red)." The reason for choosing this one was simple—I'll hit you until you're dead!

Moreover, this is the second time the red keyword has appeared, so how could Ichinose Wakaba not choose it?

As for the third one, I don't know why, but Ichinose Wakaba is very interested in the term "King of Children (Gold)".

However, remembering her tragic death after choosing the "King of Children" (gold) option, Ichinose Wakaba chose "Cooking" (gold) for the last item.

Choosing the cooking skill (gold) instead of the kid king (gold) attribute was definitely not because he wanted to test whether he could make someone's clothes explode in the real world.

It was because of the horrific death in the previous simulation.

That's right, that's exactly it.

[Do you wish to select the following three attributes for this life simulation: Cooking (Gold), Massage Skills (Red), and Flute Playing (Purple)?]

【confirm. 】

[Start the simulation.]

[The simulation officially begins.]

[You were born at age 0, abandoned by your parents in front of a dilapidated shop. Although the November weather wasn't yet below freezing, the temperature was still enough to kill a newborn. The night wind howled, the icy air biting, as if trying to tear your life apart. Powerless to struggle, you could only await your fate in the cold and loneliness.]

Fortunately, the shop owner found you.

Tragically, as he bent down to pick you up, wrapped in tattered rags, and gently touched your face with his rough fingers, you opened your innocent eyes and saw the face of this world for the first time—a man who looked remarkably like Bruce Lee. His features were rugged, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, and his body so strong it seemed capable of tearing steel apart with his bare hands. His signature black leather jacket gleamed coldly, and there were seven gunshot wounds on his chest, exposed after you had wet your pants and taken off your clothes.

You also heard a woman call him Kenshiro. The woman you adopted is called Yulisa. You also heard a male voice called Barto.

Kenshiro, Yulia, Barto.

You were certain, you were filled with despair, because you understood that you had entered a world called Fist of the North Star.

The world of Fist of the North Star can be described as follows: Time is frozen in 199X AD. A global nuclear catastrophe has struck, instantly shattering once-glorious human civilization. The earth is engulfed by flames and radiation, cities are reduced to ruins, and mountains and rivers lose their color. The air is thick with the smell of death, and survivors struggle to survive on this scorched earth.

However, humanity did not completely perish. A few survived through sheer willpower and sheer luck, but what awaited them was not hope, but an endless abyss of violence and chaos. In this world of collapsed order, the strong rule by force, while the weak eke out a living like ants; survival has become their sole pursuit.

The main character is Kenshiro, who is modeled after Bruce Lee.
