Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Shit Hits The Fan

As John had expected, nothing happens when you remove an ancient book out of the hands of a skeleton. He even sneered and said, "This ain't no Indiana Jones movie, boy."

<You then head upstairs, sit on a chair and start trying to read the book. You can't read the language in the book but find some pages of the book were completely covered in blood. This gave the feeling that there were secrets in it. >

<System Alert: The host has encountered a critical artifact that may affect his life and death.>

<You can now purchase a language package for 10 fate points, allowing you to read this book.>

John bought this package because he thought this simulation would easily earn him way more fate points.

<As you picked up the book again, you found that the various scribbling from before had now wholly transformed into letters and words you could read.>

<You discovered that the book wasn't a new recipe book but a diary. It was the diary of a witch. She described in great detail her personal life.>

John - "Huh, a diary, but what is in here that could decide my life and death?."

<You continue browsing the diary and find that it was indeed this witch and her three other friends who built this lab.>

<The journal also talked about the origin of the recipe from an ancient cave on this very planet.>

John could make out from their behavior in the journal that they were not prisoners sent here by the galactic patrol.

Presumably, this was the home planet of these wizards, which was later occupied by the galactic patrol.

<You feel bored, so you finally decide to skip to the pages that were covered in blood. The reason for the blood was written clearly on the first bloody page.>

John - "Well, that's not helpful at all."

As it turns out, the four wizards were attacked at night, and one of them died. The diary got wet in the process.

John spoke, "Wait, now that's interesting. The creature that attacked them was completely dark and disappeared into the ground. They named it shadow monster. What a fitting name."

<You decide to look at the end pages and find shocking information.>

John's face showed a grim expression," Shit, it seems like this simulation will not last long. It says that each potion comes at the cost of 5 years of life span. "

John - " I have drank like 22 potions in total that a full one hundred and ten years down the drain."

John reasoned, "No wonder I was starting to feel back pain in the sim, I thought I might have slept in the wrong position, but it turns out I am about to turn 143 years old."

<You look at your combat power of 592 and let out a sign>

John - "What's happened is already in the past. I need to focus on the present. This time I got lucky as Namekians have a life span of 200, but next time I might not be so.

"Hence never drink anything that increases combat power as there's always some cost."

<You finish reading and learn that the witches learned about this the hard way as they all continuously drank potions, leading to the companions dying.>

<Luckily or unluckily, the only survivor was the diary writer. He also went on to live only two extra days.>

John - "Damn, maybe instead of hiding in fear, you should have warned the other witches. Who knows, maybe this race went extinct in days due to this dangerous recipe."

<At night, you decide to honor these fallen people by burning away all the books that had a record of the recipe in a campfire.>

<Seeing you sad, the baby plant who had Mark's soul finally spoke the word" Groot">

<You are left stunned by this first word, and then it dawns on you that as you subconsciously called it Groot, that word stuck to the tiny plant baby.>

<Year 6: It has been over three years since that campfire. You have been living your life as you please in this jungle.>

<Making a good combination of training and rest. You have steadily continued to grow stronger. Your combat power has now reached 700.>

John - "Let's see that 108. It's been 3 years, so that's 36 a year or 3 a month. Hmm, so without guidance, I return to 3 a month."

John sighs and says, "Master sure would be disappointed to hear that. Anyway, continue to Simulate until something interesting happens."

<Year 10: At the age of 150, you were doing your routine training, and suddenly your Ki sensing detected something.>

<You flew in its direction but were very cautious as this Ki sign was more prominent than yours. This is why you hid your breath and made it a minimal 10 so as not to alert this individual.>

<As you got closer, you found a spaceship and tens of different Ki signs inside, some weaker and some more considerable than you.>

<You estimate that the strongest one is around 1,200 combat power. >

John - "What should I do? Attacking is not an option. There are four people stronger than me on board. Not to mention even the weak people could easily gang on me and kill me."

"I think I will wait around to see where this is going. If they disembark the ship, even if the strongest one is inside alone, I will still take the chance to attack it."

"It's not like there much going on in this sim for me anyways being, alone and training is almost useless. My combat power is only at 950."

<Three of the ten people get out of the ship. One is stronger at 1000, and the others are weaker at 650 and 500, respectively. >

John - "Look like this is a ground search party to scout the island. This might be my chance. I will take them out one by one with the help of the familiar terrain should be easy to take out even a 1,000."
