Chapter 123 The Second Tool-Person
"Elandor, I wanted to ask you something…."
-Radhika spoke a little timidly.
Michelle had already gone back to her room.
"What's it?"
"Hmmm, I have been seeing your face is always full of worries. It's like you are always thinking about something. Plus judging from your strong muscular body and exercises that you do in the early morning...you seem pretty strong already."
"Why are you still working hard to be strong?"
Hearing her question, I knew she just asked it out of curiosity.
"When a beggar earns money for the first time, he is filled with the desire to keep earning even more every time. So is human greed and me desiring to be stronger is only natural."
"Okay, now enough of chit-chat, go back to your room",
I hurriedly brushed off Radhika by sending her to her room.
By the time I came to my own room, I pondered over the question Radhika asked. To be honest, what I answered her was just a random excuse because I, myself, was not clear why I was on the path that I chose. Why was I working so hard to steal the protagonist's chances?
Why do you want to be strong? …to help the weak, to beat the strong?…not to be ruled? …to rule the weak? To protect one's self? For greater ambition?….
…. For a stable life, for fame, for pride, for envy, for greed, for revenge, to overcome fear, to overcome pain, for long life, for an easy life!
And most of all because I am full of desires that I can't control, I don't believe that I can't reach the height some random son of luck blessed by this bullshit protagonist aura can reach.
If the thing I lack is chance then I shall steal their chance. Why are only some people allowed to be lucky? I refuse to accept this. I must and will reach the topmost glory of my life. Nothing can stop me from reaching the pinnacle.
'You will think me cruel, very selfish Aushima, Jasmine, Mitshua and all the other girls, but both my love and my possessiveness have always been very selfish; the more ardent the feeling the more selfish. How jealous I am of these protagonists even I cannot know. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.
Suddenly everything became clear even though I knew all of it before but now I was extra clear and aware of it. It was like my character leapt quantitatively.
"Okay let's now focus on the main part of tomorrow's job. I think it's better to make sure Shouta is tired."
If Shouta is mentally exhausted then it will work in my favour tomorrow.
"Let's send him the invite."
I opened the simulation system's interface and sent the invite to Shouta.
I had already plundered a lot of Shouta's chances as a result his luck was very low. I calculated that after just one simulation his luck will completely be exhausted.
Since I already had contact with him some days back, sending an invite to him was pretty easy.
[Target selection confirmed! The owner has chosen Shouta as the second carrier.]
....
Shouta was in a tense mood while sitting on a luxurious chair.
He still hadn't gotten over the fact that he had lost Mitshua.
Also, the disgust of sleeping with a lowly prostitute that day made him vomit.
"Hmmm, it's all due to that bastard Elandor, he stole my Mitsuha and Claire."
"But his strength was quite strong…I will call all my gang members then together we will surround him."
"No matter how strong he is, he can't fight against hundreds of my subordinates, right?"
"Haha, just wait for it Elandor. I will make sure every single bone in your body is broken and shattered mercilessly."
-Just as Shouta was getting happy about thinking of ways to kill Elandor an interface appeared in front of him.
Texts appeared out in thin air~
[Congratulations! You have been selected to enter the simulation world. All you need to do is perform well and live long enough and you shall earn various exciting rewards and always get something unexpected..
Please confirm if you accept it? YES/ NO?
Note: death in the simulation world does not affect real life and the cooldown period after one attempt is 1 day.]
Shouta, who saw the texts suddenly appearing in front of his eyes was taken aback.
"What the fuck?…Simulation world?"
"Is this the rumoured secret realm said to be written in those ancient books I once saw in the library?"
"Haha, destiny is with me! I kept feeling pain in my chest and thought Elandor was stealing away things that should belong to me but I was mistaken…the world has not abandoned me, hahaha!"
"This must be my fortuitous chance, only I should be able to enter this secret realm called the Simulation World. All the rewards only belong to me."
-Without any hesitation, Shouta clicked on YES.
Soon the same messages popped up in front of Shouta that appeared before Louis.
[Random world being generated…..]
ραпdα n?νa|ReadNovelFull.com [Low-level cultivation world generated.]
[Random talent choice being generated.]
[Please select 2 out of 5 talents.]
[1. Son of the richest person in the village]
2. A little-high level of aptitude for your age
3. An abnormal body.
4. Born as a demon race.
5. Low-level proficiency in the sword. ]
"Hmm, it seems I need to select 2 out of these…"
"All of these seem to be good, son of the richest person? Heck Na…just kill the richest person and all the wealth will belong to me."
"A little-high level of aptitude? No way… I, Shouta, is a born genius, my aptitude is already sky-high."
"Low-level proficiency in the sword?…Fuck are you kidding me? How can I use small weapons like swords/blades? Only big weapons like Halberds, spears are worthy of me."
Unexpected to all, Shouta chose options 3 and 4.
I, who was secretly watching from the audience window, couldn't help but clap in admiration.
Truly the protagonist deserves to be the most arrogant and overconfident person. He dares to tread a path that makes no common sense.
I had no interest in watching what Shouta would do, I didn't have time to stay the whole night to watch his choices.
Anyway with the system's notifications I will know what Shouta did in the morning when it will be the time for me to collect my rewards.
"Shouta, be a good tool person and I hope you can live long enough to get me some good stuff."
-Without bothering further, I closed my eyes and slept comfortably.
At the same time, Shouta felt his consciousness blurring as he entered the simulation world.
[Simulation begins…]
