"Meili, are you in there?"
At that moment, a shout was heard from outside the door.
"Is that you, Sister Brunhilde? Wait a moment, I'll be right out!"
Hearing someone arrive, Meilin immediately opened the door.
Two female figures appeared—one short and one tall.
The tall one was the Valkyrie Brunhilde, a beautiful woman with long dark-blue hair flowing down to her knees, with long bangs covering the right side of her face. She was tall and voluptuous with a feminine figure. Her hair was tied back with a large golden wing-shaped hairpin. Her pale skin contrasted with her sharp emerald-green eyes.
Her outfit was very formal: a white dress with gold and dark-blue details, a large dark-blue pendant with a white scarf, and a long skirt made of white feathers.
Meanwhile, the short one was Göll, a teenage girl with purple hair reaching halfway down her neck and aqua-green eyes. She wore a green jacket (orange in the anime) over a white shirt (yellow in the anime) with tight black shorts. On her left leg was a black legging with a garterbelt, and she wore high green sneakers. Similar to her sister, she wore a small golden wing-shaped hairpin on the left side of her bangs.
"Melii!"
Without warning, Göll lunged at Meilin and rubbed her face against his.
"Meili, you're still as cute as always!"
And if the readers are wondering why Göll is like that—well, everything started ten years ago.
This story began when he first time-traveled.
He didn't know what happened; he woke up lying on a hard floor, like the corridors of an arena.
He encountered a half-naked Goddess of beauty and love from a fantasy bishoujo world who suddenly bestowed upon him that damn curse-and-blessing owned by Tachibana Hinata!
Unparalleled beauty, the Blessing of the Goddess of Beauty and Love, that damn curse that made men restless, and the most normal one—language proficiency.
But he's a man! Damn it, his appearance changed drastically into that of a woman.
And the appearance given by that Goddess from another world caused problems everywhere he went.
He was harassed because of his face. Many men approached him asking for sex, and even when he said he was a man, they only got more excited!
To make things worse, he was weak due to long-term malnutrition, and the Goddess's blessing only made him into a limitless energy battery that others could use. The user had to have an energy-charging-type weapon to utilize it, and how could someone who just reincarnated possibly have that?!
How could he be compared to the peak-era human warriors chosen carefully by the Valkyries?
It was Göll who passed by, chased those men away, and then kidnapped him…
Although Göll didn't have any strange hobbies or torture him—turns out that was wrong—she was greedy for his body!
Every time he tried to resist, he would be pinned down mercilessly by Göll!
Luckily, she didn't do anything too weird.
However, he also got involved with the eldest Valkyrie sister, Brunhilde, as well as the other Valkyries, and lived a happy life as the group's beloved pet, never bothered by Göll again…
Please, don't assume their help was sincere. Even at a glance, from his point of view, you could see the glint of hidden greed in their eyes.
Back to the scene.
"Göll, don't get so close, my cheeks hurt!"
Meilin tried to push Göll away, but what could he do? A demi-god body left him powerless.
Brunhilde didn't separate them for a while and instead enjoyed Meilin's expression; that distressed face made her feel refreshed.
After a few minutes, Brunhilde finally stepped in and separated them.
"Meilin, don't leave the house carelessly, okay? There's some trouble outside."
Brunhilde gently stroked Meilin's black hair, speaking softly like a kind woman.
How could he not know what she meant? The conflict of this world was about to begin, but since he was weak, how could he possibly do anything?
After chatting and teasing from Brunhilde, the two of them left him alone, sitting on the bed, thinking.
This is the world of Record of Ragnarok, a world where humans and gods fight one-on-one.
However, he was not a god; he was someone who had a close connection with the Valkyries.
This dangerous world was one reason Meilin firmly accepted being kidnapped by Göll!
At least with the protection of the Valkyrie sisters, his life still had hope.
Not because he was tempted by those beautiful women and MILFs! (No, you were tempted.)
Besides, when he read it, the original work wasn't even finished yet, and humanity was at a terrible disadvantage.
Seeing the title "Record of Ragnarok," it was clear the ending wouldn't be happy.
If we lose, humanity will perish! And as a pure human, he certainly wouldn't escape the gods' judgment!
Meilin suffered a headache for a moment, until a cold mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Ding——"
"Congratulations, you have hit the jackpot!"
Before Meilin could even react, another mechanical voice followed.
"Ding——"
"The Simulator has been loaded. Would you like to start the simulation?"
Under the enormous glowing screen, his watery eyes stared blankly at the lines of text, his small face full of hesitation and struggle, his brows furrowed as if he had encountered a problem—stirring an indescribable tenderness.
Meilin—just that name explained the situation.
A transmigrator who accidentally arrived in this Record of Ragnarok world.
This should have been a misfortune, yet the silver lining was that he obtained a Simulator system.
Meilin understood simulators from the novels he read: it would repeatedly simulate life, change the fate of the targeted character, and then he could obtain various rewards from those simulations.
After becoming stronger, he could punch Zeus and kick Odin.
But it turned out differently from what he remembered—the system claimed the simulator wasn't real and was only meant for user experience.
Suspicious…
But why should he care?
Meilin's lips slowly curled upward, and his smile became uncontrollable.
Before he obtained this cheat, he had been shy and cautious.
After he obtained this cheat, he would strike hard and fight back if he didn't like something!
Thinking this, Meilin checked the Simulator's functions.
As the name suggested, this simulator was meant to create an identity for Meilin.
Judging from Brunhilde's condition earlier, there was no time to waste.
He pressed the activation button on the panel in his eyes.
Seeing the semi-transparent panel in front of him with the words "Please draw your initial talent," Meilin was thrilled.
Damn, there's a cheater!!!
Hold down your inner excitement.
Meilin took a deep breath, finally calming his mind a little, and then began to examine the panel in front of him.
Don't rush. What if this is the type of system that enslaves its user?
"It seems like this is an emulator-type cheat…"
"This kind of cheat code usually has a huge gap between the upper and lower limits, and the simulation cost is still unclear…
"So, system, system? Can you answer?"
The moment he finished speaking—
As Meilin asked, new content indeed appeared on the panel before him.
"The Simulator is ready to serve you!"
"The Simulator is dedicated to helping you become the greatest through the most despicable means. If you are satisfied with your gaming experience, don't forget to leave a five-star rating."
"Please draw your initial talent for your first simulation…"
Very good.
Being able to communicate smoothly with the system is undeniably good news.
It proves that this isn't just some cold machine-like system, which makes things easier for him.
But seeing the word vile made Meilin fall silent—wait, is he going to become a villain?
It sounds like someone with twisted humanity and broken morals, like those jerks who upload lewd images but purposely don't credit the original source.
But am I really evil? My life felt pretty normal… aside from cursing the Goddess who sent me to this world, I think I've always behaved decently.
And yet, these kinds of thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.
As if it could read his thoughts, a fitting answer instantly appeared on the panel in front of Meilin.
"NO."
"Host, you undoubtedly possess strong motivation, a clear plan, unwavering determination, secrets that must be hidden, extraordinary execution ability, remarkable personal charisma, and the resolve to overturn the world."
"Without a doubt, you are the perfect candidate for the greatest villain."
"Huhhh?"
Meilin thought about it carefully and then realized…
Wow, that actually makes a lot of sense!
He couldn't even refute it…
First, strong motivation—doesn't that basically mean his desire to survive in this dangerous world by any means necessary?
A clear plan—doesn't that refer to pretending to be a woman (because he was forced to) for the sake of maintaining a stable life?
Damn, so that counts as evil?
Enough. Why should I care anymore?
Let's just see what kind of simulation this thing has. All of it.
This thing doesn't seem to have any other functions available…
Thinking that,
with the mentality of might as well try, Meilin immediately chose to draw his talent.
To be continued.
Please look forward to the next episode~
