Simulated Lives: The Sorrow of the Sword Maiden

【First Simulation: You are transported to a world of cultivation.】

【You become a refugee fleeing from war and famine. Along the way, you rescue an abandoned baby girl and take her in as your younger sister.】

【You rely on each other, growing together as family.】

【At the end of the simulation, you stand before the grown-up girl, shielding her with your life against countless demonic cultivators. You die. The light in her eyes vanishes with you.】

……

【Second Simulation: You are transported to a world where steam and magic coexist.】

【Day and night, you devote yourself to the study of magic, obsessing over its mysteries. One day, during an outing, you come across a half-blooded demon girl abandoned on the streets. You take her in as your student.】

【You teach the witch the meaning of humanity, show her the beauty of the world, and nurture her into a miracle that surpasses the gods.】

【At the end of the simulation, bound by the limits of a mortal lifespan, you die of old age before the near-immortal witch.】

……

Again and again, simulations repeat. Again and again, fateful encounters unfold.

Xu Xi suddenly feels something is off.

“Wait… What do you mean you’ve come to find me in the real world?”
