Chapter 257: Jade’s Decision, Spoiler For Simulation Reward Options
[As Jade immediately made her move, you were caught off-guard as she wrapped her arms around you, embracing you.]
[Feeling the softness and warmth of Jade’s body, you were about to ask what she meant by this, but she interrupted your thoughts as she spoke, "Darling, don’t hesitate to sacrifice me."]
["Don’t worry, I won’t hate you for this."]
[Listening to Jade’s words, you were truly flustered for the first time in your life, causing you to activate Hint Prompt out of reflex.]
{Hint Prompt: Jade isn’t lying. If faced with a situation where only one of you two can live, she wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice herself for your sake.}
[Seeing your hesitation, Jade reassured you, "Darling, if not for you, I don’t think I would have achieved this much in my life, or even live this long."]
["Let alone our classmates, I doubt anyone we know is still alive now. Most of the people in Terra had already died in this world, failing in their path as a Train Conductor."]
["But it seems this is the time I have to say goodbye. I only request that you won’t forget me. If you can reach the end of this path and become powerful enough, please resurrect me."]
[Pausing for a while, Jade continued, "We already talked about facing such a situation before. And at that time, I had declared that if it ever comes down to this, I’ll be the one who’ll sacrifice my life."]
["I know my limits. I know I am not as great and competent as you. If it were me who’s still alive, I am not confident that I can become the strongest and find a way to resurrect you."]
["So, this might be selfish of me, but please kill me and live on."]
[Jade buried her face on your chest while hugging you, so you couldn’t see what expression she had on her face.]
[But for her to make such a decision, and with the verification of the hint prompt, you knew that she had already made up her mind.]
[You had wanted to refute Jade and prove your love by sacrificing yourself instead, but you recalled that this was all a doomsday life simulation.]
[The Jade in the real world is still alive even if the Jade in this simulation dies.]
[’However...’]
[’It’s not the Jade in the real world whom I fell in love with, but the Jade in the Train Survival World.’]
[’It’s none other than the Jade who accompanied me as my duo in the Train Survival World, the one who willingly sacrificed her life for me.’]
[Having such thoughts, you knew that it was somewhat of a dead end.]
[If you sacrifice Jade, then she’ll be dead. But if you sacrifice yourself, then even if Jade lives on, the doomsday life simulation will end.]
[You don’t know what would happen in the simulation world after your death.]
[’Does this simulation world already exist? Or does it exist because I started the simulation? And if I die, will everything here end and no longer exist?’]
[You didn’t know the answer to that question.]
[However, the answer to that question wasn’t what you sought. Instead, you decided to pause the doomsday life simulation.]
In the real world where time had stopped due to the start of the doomsday life simulation, Zayne looked at the screen of the doomsday life simulator system.
He had paused the doomsday life simulation. He was more than capable of doing this, but he never got the reason to do it until now.
’In the real world, my power is still at Initial Platinum rank, which was what I inherited from the Global Ocean Survival World.’
Thinking of this, Zayne surveyed the real world where time had stopped.
He was currently in his house, and as he had previously remembered, Jade in the real world was still taking a shower.
Perceiving her presence, Zayne sighed, ’I’ve been through a lot with Jade, but it’s the one in the simulation.’
With that thought in mind, Zayne decided to ask his Doomsday Life Simulator System a question he had been meaning to ask.
’System, will the simulation reward options include the memories of Jade?’
Receiving Zayne’s question, the system immediately responded.
[Yes, host.]
[Not only will Jade’s memories be included, but her entire power will also be inherited into the real world.]
[If you choose that simulation reward, it will be like Jade accompanying you to simulate in the Two-Person Extreme Train Survival doomsday scenario.]
Receiving that assurance from the system, Zayne asked another question, ’What about my Train Crewmates? Can I bring them into the real world?’
[Yes, you can bring them to the real world.]
[Since the host has already achieved a lot in the second doomsday life simulation and will likely get a high simulation score, it doesn’t matter if the system revealed this to the host.]
[If the host were to encounter someone in the doomsday life simulation and form a great bond with them, then they’ll be included in the simulation reward options.]
[If that were to happen, they’d be divided into two categories.]
[The first category is people like Jade. They have bodies in the real world, Terra, so instead of bringing them to the real world, their memories and power in simulation will be inherited into the real world instead.]
[The second category is people like Scarlet, Astraea, Old MacDonald, Morvane, etc.. They don’t exist in the real world but exist in the simulation world, so they’ll be brought back to the real world with their power and memories intact.]
[For the people in the second category, the host has complete control over their life and powers.]
[If the host wants to, you could deprive them of their life or power anytime. It’s to ensure that they’d be unable to betray the host, as it’s due to the host that they were brought back to the real world.]
[As for the people in the first category, the host can only deprive them of the power and memories they’ve inherited in the doomsday life simulation.]
