Simulation of Destruction, Why Am I Always the Arbiter

As the car drove into the high school where he would start attending tomorrow, Ye Chang'an grew even more confused.

"Eden, can't wait to go to school already? It hasn't even started yet."

"...Could you please shut up." Eden, who was driving, didn't want to talk. She drove directly into a detached villa before pulling Ye Chang'an out of the car.

She entered the courtyard by inputting the password, then took out the key to open the door, bringing Ye Chang'an inside in one smooth motion.

Then, pointing to the various musical instruments in the living room, she said, "You can use any of the instruments here. The room on the left on the second floor is your bedroom, and the one on the right is mine."

This was what she meant by showing him the house. She knew Ye Chang'an would definitely forget about renting a place, so she had bought this place early and finished the renovations.

All that was left was for them to move in.

Ye Chang'an was very satisfied with the setup, but when he heard that Eden also had a bedroom upstairs, his face showed confusion.

"Eden, isn't it inappropriate for you to live here too?"

"Where's the inappropriateness in me living in my own house?"

It was her house that she bought and her design for the renovations.

"Are you stupid? You're still asking where the inappropriateness is."

Ye Chang'an pointed to himself, then pointed to Eden.

"I'm a man, and you're a woman. If we both live here, wouldn't that be considered living together? It's dangerous."

"What danger? Who's in danger?" Eden questioned with a dark expression, her stance resembling someone guilty trying to bluff their way through.

She thought Ye Chang'an had discovered her intentions, as they were quite obvious.

However, Ye Chang'an hadn't discovered them, because Ye Chang'an was pointing at her.

"You're in danger, the danger of me sneaking into your room at night."

Chapter of Creation: Journey to a New World: 5. It would be great if this pale-haired kid was willing to be kept.

Ye Chang'an could swear to the heavens, no, he could swear to the Cocoon of Everlasting.

He, Ye Chang'an, was an absolutely normal man.

He didn't have any strange or peculiar fetishes, but he had all the normal and legal ones.

He wasn't a dense straight man who didn't understand love, he just had a very clear distinction between when it was appropriate to date and when it wasn't.

And in this simulated world, it wasn't appropriate for him to date.

He was merely a passerby fulfilling his dreams. After Eden became a superstar and he had finished discussing music with her, he would leave without hesitation.

Dating would only lead to regret after leaving, so he wouldn't date, he would only discuss music.

Especially dating Eden, he would politely decline.

This was indeed a simulated world, but it was a simulated world created by the Parallel World Simulator. It might even be a parallel world from another timeline.

Dating Eden, who would become a superstar and an Angel of Herrscher in the future, was like asking for trouble.

Any interference with her life that caused changes would lead the outcome to the unknown, and he didn't want that.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had a clear self-positioning: I'm just a passerby, I won't leave any lingering feelings, no offspring, and I won't cause any Destruction.

Once his objective was achieved, he would withdraw, doing his best to preserve the world's original destiny.

So, he was extremely self-disciplined.

But no matter how self-disciplined he was, he might not be able to resist the temptation of a cohabiting demoness.

After all, men sometimes had their thoughts dominated by their bros, so he had to be careful.

Thus, he clearly informed Eden of the risks of cohabitation, which completely stunned her.

—So you actually know about these things in your head.

Eden found it very strange that someone with a mind full of music would also know about sneaking into rooms at night. The moment she came to her senses, she revealed a smile.

"You can try and see if you can succeed."

There was a hint of provocation in her tone, as if she was anticipating this outcome.

Unfortunately, Ye Chang'an didn't interpret it that way. He thought Eden must have been prepared and felt completely at ease.

"Then I'll stay here. You don't need to worry too much, I'll try my best to restrain myself. Oh, and don't forget to take precautions, in case I really do sneak into your room one day."

The saying about guarding against a thief for a thousand days shouldn't be applied; the best solution would definitely be for Ye Chang'an to find his own place to live.

But he was eyeing the musical instruments in this house. He knew all of them, and he could already save money to buy the brand new models after graduation.

So he reminded Eden not to forget the precautions, but the words "precautions" made one's imagination run wild.

Eden blushed. She hadn't expected Ye Chang'an's pace to be so fast. She directly kicked Ye Chang'an out and told him to come back tomorrow for school.

Then she went back to her own bedroom and rolled on the bed.

"Ahhh, what kind of person is this guy? How did I not notice before?"

"He's got some serious nerve, even needing protective gear."

"He's definitely a closeted pervert."

"Mmm... protective gear..."

Rolling around, shouting, complaining, muttering, Eden finally went out to drive and buy things.

They're still young, can't go causing any accidental deaths.

"Is one box enough? How many are in a box anyway?"

Eden stared at the products, flipping them over and over for a long time before making a decision. In the end, she bought ten boxes.

The store clerk was stunned.

Oblivious, Eden bought her things and went home relieved. She filled her nightstand to the brim before falling asleep.

The next day was the start of school, and she and Ye Chang'an were in the same class again, and even desk mates.

In elementary school, the two of them had always been in the same class without any special arrangements.

But after entering junior high, Eden had to pull some strings to be in the same class.

It couldn't be helped, Ye Chang'an had won too many music awards in elementary school, and on the first day of junior high, he had performed in front of the entire school.

From then on, all the female students became his fans, and each of them, relying on their family backgrounds, made moves to get into the same class.

Fortunately, Eden's family background was the strongest, allowing her to secure not only the same class but also the same desk.

The homeroom teacher who managed the class was making a fortune.

"Speaking of which, is this all you have? Nothing else?"

Looking at Ye Chang'an entering the room with just a bag, Eden asked in surprise.

"No, this is enough. What else would I need?"

Ye Chang'an replied, confused, and even took out the contents of his bag to show off.

A real sword, forged with great expense, used for practicing swordplay.

A set of uniforms, issued by the school; he was wearing one now.

Two pairs of boxer briefs, making a total of three pairs including the one he was wearing – enough for changing.

The rest were toiletries: simple toothpaste, toothbrush, and a towel, with no signs of any skincare products.

That was all.

"You're really so carefree," Eden said, unable to help but complain. But seeing Ye Chang'an's delicate skin gave her the strength to do so.

"You don't even use skincare products and you've been the top school heartthrob for three years. I really don't know if you'd kill someone with your looks if you actually took care of yourself."

There was something Eden had always kept to herself – Ye Chang'an was handsome, incredibly handsome.

His handsomeness wasn't just about his looks. Men's appearances had different types of handsomeness depending on personal aesthetic preferences, and Ye Chang'an was just the sunny type among them.

But he could make people who didn't like the sunny type find him handsome too, because his aura was too unique.

He couldn't hide his aura even when standing in a crowd; you could always pick him out at a glance.

He naturally drew attention, and he was sunny, cheerful, and completely free of scandals. It was only natural that he dominated the school heartthrob rankings.

He had even powerfully ascended to the top of the school heartthrob list on his first day of enrollment today.

And this kind of super handsome guy... had never deliberately taken care of himself.

His handsomeness was naturally endowed, so to speak.

"Being handsome doesn't fill your stomach, what's the use of it?" Ye Chang'an replied casually, carrying his bag to his room and making his bed.

Eden followed him and leaned against the doorframe, reminding him, "Handsomeness can fill your stomach. There are tons of people who want to sponsor handsome guys."

A sponsored handsome guy couldn't just have a good face; he had to have a good body too.

So, did Ye Chang'an have a good body?

Don't ask, just know that he had practiced swordplay for twelve years.

"Then it seems to have some use. If I ever can't afford to eat, I'll find someone to sponsor me."

Eden's heart trembled, her eyes full of hope, and she was about to say, "Find me, I'll sponsor you."

Unfortunately, before she could speak, Ye Chang'an finished making the bed and turned to look at her.

"Eden, let's play a duet. Let me see what the instruments here are like."

Well, he was back to talking about music. If she didn't agree, he would pester her endlessly.

Eden wisely shut her mouth, turned, and walked away.

"Follow me, I'll show you the practice room I prepared specifically for performances."

They arrived in the basement, which was fully equipped with sound equipment and had perfect soundproofing.

Let alone playing music, even throwing a party and dancing wouldn't let a single sound escape.

As Eden and Ye Chang'an's shared home, Eden had put a lot of thought into designing the place.

Of course, it also cost a lot of money.

"Wow, this is amazing."

Ye Chang'an exclaimed, picking up an instrument at random and playing a melody.

It was clear he was happy, the kind of happiness that made his Sword Heart unsteady.

Chapter of Creation: Heading to a New World: 6. After listening to my rambling, I'll confess my love

Time flew by, and Ye Chang'an and Eden were now seventeen.

They had moved up to their second year of high school and had been living together for a year.

Eden opened the bedside table drawer, looking at the ample supply of protection measures inside, which hadn't diminished at all. She pulled one out and checked the date.

"Hmm, it's expired."

"Bang~ Ahhhhh..."

She tossed it back into the drawer and lay down on the bed, screaming in frustration.

It had been a year, a whole year since she and Ye Chang'an had started living together.

Yet, the risk of a nighttime surprise attack that she had mentioned the night before they moved in had never materialized.

Let alone a nighttime surprise attack, nothing even remotely ambiguous had happened.

They were the same as they were before living together, with the only difference being that they could see each other every night.
