Type-Moon Simulation: Conquering the Greek Goddess at the Start!

They viewed the Pellasgi as beings akin to purgatory and demons, and not a single man sent to the battlefield ever returned.

The Four Great City-States immediately fell into decline.

If not for the rewards and blessings bestowed by the gods, it would have been difficult for them to maintain their original positions.

As for the gods...

With the fall of the Moon God Artemis, Olympus's Twelve Olympians became eleven.

Although Zeus stabilized after the war, the questions you raised were deeply rooted in the hearts of the gods, coupled with the shock of the Moon God Artemis's demise.

The gods fell into self-doubt.

They could not ignore the commands from below, they loved humanity, yet they could not escape the bondage of destiny.

The gods were trapped in a maddening self-contradiction.

It could be called a tragic mythology.

Under the rule of the Machine God, humanity had no future.

The Greek Heroic Myth—

Simulation ended.

Another awakening from the void of darkness.

The feeling was the same as the first simulation.

This time, it wasn't just twenty-six years of experience, but nearly seventy years of unforgettable, soul-searing memories.

The myriad torments inflicted by the gods' thunder.

The hatred and coldness felt while leading his people in battle against the enemy.

The satisfaction of facing death together with his beloved.

In addition, there was the lament and sigh for the gods bound by Primal Destiny.

"I..."

Moran clutched his chest, his brow furrowed.

The impact of this simulation was a hundred times greater than the last.

Especially the terrifying torment of God's Thunder.

It was a horrific pain that could not be forgotten even after exiting the simulation, etched onto his soul.

The second simulation alone was this impactful.

Anyone else would have likely been driven mad by such an experience.

But Moran was not just a Hero.

He was also the king who led the Pellasgi!

"These pains and memories are all I possess. I have no regrets about the life I simulated! Even the divine lightning and scourges that fell upon my soul will never shake me in the slightest!"

Moran's gaze seemed to hold a raging fire.

Hero, King.

The two waves of power merged together, blurring the lines between simulation and reality.

The view returned to the simulator.

[Greek Heroic Myth]

[Simulation Evaluation: A+]

[This rank belongs to a special evaluation tier.]

[Although you led your people to defeat the enemy forces dispatched by the gods, and even struck down the divine body of the great god Zeus, breaking all human impossibilities, possessing the qualities of both king and hero,]

[you still did not solve the key issues.]

[You lamented the deaths of your women and the failure to defeat the gods, and felt sorrow for the Machine God still bound by destiny and the humans under its control.]

[Perhaps, a better ending was possible.]

[Even enduring torment like purgatory, you yearned to reach a better ending once more.]

[As both king and hero,]

[you will not yield to such an ending of destruction.]

ps: The next chapter will be a slight transition, perhaps one or two chapters, and the next simulation will begin soon.

Chapter 57: Special Reward, Changes in the Holy Grail War [Four Chapters! 4.2k!]

[Simulation Achieved A+ Rating]

[Your simulation has reached a special evaluation tier. Congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the preset slot. The preset slot can be used in conjunction with your fixed skill slots to better assist you in simulations.]

"Preset slot? What is that?"

Moran frowned and asked curiously.

He originally thought there would be no reward for this simulation.

As far as he knew in the simulator, there were only fixed skill slots and a skill pool for drawing skills.

He guessed the preset slots were a new mechanism.

[The function of the preset slot is that after the host fixes the chosen abilities, if there are still skills they wish to keep, the preset slot can be used in this situation.]

[It can store skills for the host and retrieve them instantly when the host wants to change their fixed skills.]

"This...!"

Moran immediately understood what it meant.

After completing his skill choices in the previous few times, the unselected skills were always thrown back into the skill pool.

Now, there was no need to throw them back.

He could directly put the skills into the preset slots!

If he hadn't fixed any skills that day, Moran could also choose not to simulate and directly use the abilities in the preset slots to change skills.

This could also be used in combat.

"Are there any quantity limits for the preset slots?"

Moran immediately asked the simulator.

As a result, it wasn't as good as he had imagined.

It was impossible for there to be no quantity limit.

[The number of preset slots is fixed at three. Every time the host obtains an Ex-rank evaluation simulation, one more will be added.]

[Please work harder, host.]

"As expected, I knew it wouldn't be that good, but three preset slots are still pretty decent."

Moran sighed helplessly.

Then, he entered the skill drawing page.

[Skills learned in this simulation: Golden Demon Sword, Our Epic Shall Endure Here, Other Seal: Temple of Blood, Forced Seal: Temple of Ten Thousand Demons, Apostle of God, Blessing of the Harvest God... 25.]

The number of skills learned in the second playthrough was much less.

The reason for this was not anything else.

Most of the skills in his second playthrough overlapped with the first playthrough, and overall, he learned fewer new abilities.

However, many of the skills in the skill pool had been upgraded.

This was the benefit of repeatedly clearing the same dungeon.

The memories and experiences accumulated in the simulation would become the pillars for skill level improvement.

[Golden Demon Sword (EX), Petrifying Magic Eye (A++), Battle Continuation (EX), God Slayer (B), True Eye of the Mind (B), Charisma (A+), Unbending Resolve (A)]

[Please choose three skills to fix.]

After thinking for a moment, Moran made his choice.

His index finger quickly tapped on the screen.

[Unbending Resolve (A): Even when facing divine pressure, there is no surrender, cycling through life and death countless times. Pressure, killing intent, and other aura-based abilities below A will not take effect on you, and your endurance and resilience will be greatly enhanced. The more perilous the situation, the higher your overall attributes will become.]

[Petrifying Magic Eye (A+): Anything caught in your gaze will be petrified. The effect depends on the enemy's attributes.]

[Golden Demon Sword (EX): Manifesting from your blood, a scepter of all demons composed entirely of blood, it can unleash slashes with monstrous characteristics and can also bestow these characteristics upon any target through its slashes. You are the Father of All Demons; no demon can stand against you; they are your most loyal offspring.]

[Selection complete.]

[The above three skills have been placed in the preset slots and saved. The simulation and fixing attempts will be reset and refreshed tomorrow night at 9 PM.]

[Simulator entering cooldown state.]

[Cooldown time: 23 hours 59 minutes.]

"Hmm, that's fine."

Moran did not directly fix the three skills.

He chose to put them into the preset slots.

Although he could choose to change his skills directly, he felt that his current fixed skills did not need to be replaced.

The Golden Demon Sword was very powerful.

It also seemed to be an upgrade to the Demonic Bloodline.

But in reality, the Demonic Bloodline had the ability to enhance physical strength, while this one possessed none of that.

If the physical strength could not be guaranteed, it would just be a glass cannon.

"This skill..."

Moran's gaze fell upon his fixed skill slot.

He noticed that one of the skills had changed.

[Love of the Moon Goddess (A+): Beloved by a deity, you possess luck far surpassing others. Curses, enchantments, mind control, and similar abilities of Rank A and below cannot affect you. The Moon God offered everything solely to be with you, bravely facing the unconquerable great god Zeus. You possess the highest tier of divine defense.]

Favor of the Goddess had been sublimated into Love of the Moon Goddess.

His resistances were practically maxed out.

"Artemis..."

However, Moran couldn't bring himself to be happy.

The image of Artemis flashed in his mind, along with her willful act of abandoning her responsibilities as the Machine God at the very end.

A hint of bitterness welled up in his chest.

But it was quickly drowned out by a burning fire.

"Hoo..."

Moran let out a deep breath.

His emotions transformed into the drive to pursue the next simulation.

He still had a chance to mend his regrets.

He only needed to wait one more day; at nine tomorrow evening, he could enter the simulation once more.

Recalling every moment from his second playthrough.

He had failed, and he had indeed fallen.

But that was far from a reason to stop Moran from yearning for happiness. As long as there was an opportunity, he would continue to strive.
