Chapter 133: Virtual Simulation Assessment (1/2)

I looked around me and checked my own body to see if my vision is working properly.

Seeing my arm and my hands which ran over my body, sense of sight is okay.

Feeling my hands as it ran over me, sense of touch is also okay.

Sense of hearing and sense of taste was also working properly which I verified by clicking my tongue and licking my lips.

As for the sense of smell, I guess it's also fine.

The Pathways, the Abilities, the Skills, the Energies, everything is in here. Even the clothes that I stripped myself off earlier were now covering me. The items and everything that was on me, the Orbs and the Necklaces were also here.

It really reflected all that I am outside this simulation.

Wait. Could it be drawn upon my memory? Was that why even the clothes I took off were back? It's a possibility.

However, when will the scenery be rendered? It's already a minute and I'm still in this never-ending white space. Although I could feel that I am standing on the ground, my senses would surely go haywire if I tried to move from this spot.

”Can you hear me, Daisuke?”

Suddenly, Lexie's clear voice rang out from somewhere.

Ah. I'm inside a simulation, looking for where the voice was coming from is pretty useless.

”I do. This is pretty amazing but there's nothing in here. Is it supposed to be like this?”

Hearing my question, I could hear her rushing from one place to another judging from the distance of the sound of her footsteps.

”Ah! That's my bad, sorry. I forgot to load the program, wait for a few minutes.”

This girl… my first impression of her was slowly crumbling. Where's that fairly competent lady in white earlier? Was that a mask?

After a few minutes of waiting, the surrounding white space changed into a wide expanse of a plain. The sky is clear and there's nothing that could be seen on the horizon.

Alright. This is another endless space.

”I'm really sorry from earlier, Daisuke. Before we start your assessment, do you want me to accelerate the time or not?”

I see. So they also touched upon Brain Acceleration.

”Won't there be a downside to it?”

”As long as it's not more than 10 times. If we exceed that number, it will have an effect towards the final result of the assessment.”

”I see. You're asking me this because this assessment will need a long time to finish, right?”

”Yes. The program will put you in tests and scenarios where you can shine and show your full capabilities. You can stop it anytime but I will not be able to talk to you like this if you decide to speed it up.”

”Well, we need to finish this as soon as possible so… just get on with it, accelerate it by 10 times.”

The memory from the Incarnation will soon arrive and wasting time in a simulation will not really help me in any way when threats can arrive at any time. Since there will be no drawbacks if we accelerated to 10 times, that's obviously the ideal choice.

”As you wish. Good luck, Daisuke.”

”Thank you.”

As soon as we ended our conversation a timer appeared in the sky which dimmed almost immediately and it would only shine again if I focused my vision on it. Apart from that timer, there's nothing else that changed. As if this program was meant to be more realistic to give a sense of pressure for the assessment.

Soon enough, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw a man, walking from a distance, with a gun which I don't recognize in his hand. Most probably a gun only existing in this world.

As soon as he arrived at a certain distance, he aimed and opened fire at me.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As bullets went flying towards my head, I jumped to the side and shot an Air Bullet towards the muzzle of his gun, this one's only an armed regular human. The Air Bullet accurately slipped inside the muzzle and broke his gun to pieces, another Air Bullet and the man whose armor was just his clothes, died on the spot.

Well, it's a simulation but to provide realism, his corpse was left there bleeding from where the Air Bullet passed through his body.

A few seconds later, 5 more similar to the dead guy appeared and rained me down with bullets without any warning. Though it wouldn't hurt me even if it hits, everything is possible to happen during a battle. What if it was suddenly enhanced that it could penetrate any type of defenses, then that's carelessness. As much as possible, I will not let myself be hit.

Dodging and killing regular armed humans like this until the place became full of their corpses, I could clearly feel that this program wanted to exhaust me.
