Chapter 1

"Sakura, the Matou family has already decided to adopt you. Go over in a few days. In the future, you will become an excellent mage."

After Tokiomi Tohsaka finished speaking, he turned and left the room of Sakura Tohsaka—the future Sakura Matou. Tokiomi Tohsaka did not think there was anything wrong with sending his daughter away; after all, he only had one inheritance, and if he wanted his other daughter to become a mage as well, he had no choice but to use other methods.

However, he never once asked if she wanted to become a mage.

"No! Sakura doesn't want to go to the Matou family! Sakura doesn't want to leave Papa, Mama, and Big Sister..."

Sakura wanted to refuse, but unfortunately, she understood that she could not change what her father had already decided. She could only sit alone on her bed, hugging her pillow and looking at the moon outside the window, not knowing what to do next...

And just at this moment, a mechanical sound suddenly rang out in Sakura's mind.

【Life Simulator initiated. Would you like to conduct a life simulation?】

(This simulation is a realistic one. All experiences in the simulation may become events that occur in your reality. Please proceed with caution.)】

"Who! Who is it!"

Sakura panicked. She was just a little girl; where had she ever encountered such a strange thing? Her first instinct was to seek her father's help, as Tokiomi Tohsaka was an excellent mage. However, thinking that he would soon no longer be her father, and that he might suspect she was faking illness to avoid going to the Matou family, Sakura abandoned this idea.

【Start simulation?

Yes/No】

Looking at the options in her mind, Sakura, currently in a state of helplessness and confusion, chose 'Yes' on impulse.

【Life simulation officially begins:

Day 1: You learn you are to be sent to the Matou family. You beg your father bitterly, but are refused.

Day 2: Just as you are packing your things, a man suddenly passes you a note from outside the window, asking if you are willing to leave with him. Please choose:

One: Leave with him. Leaving is better than going to the Matou family.

Two: Do not leave. I don't even know this person; what if he's a human trafficker? Going to the Matou family is better than leaving with him.】

Hm?

Looking at the two options before her, Sakura just thought for a moment and then chose Two.

This was normal, right? After all, compared to a stranger, she still trusted her parents more. Her father was sending her to the Matou family; although she didn't want to go, he couldn't possibly be trying to harm her.

And just as Sakura chose Two, in a small rented room:

"Damn it! I knew this wouldn't work! Thinking a lollipop could lure away a little girl—do they really think people are idiots!"

Lin Ye muttered to himself, then sighed helplessly.

"Sigh~ No choice, I'll have to think of another way."

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he continued his simulation.

Lin Ye—this name alone explained his situation. A transmigrator, one who had accidentally arrived in this Type-Moon World.

This should be considered unfortunate, but the silver lining in the misfortune was that he had obtained a Life Simulator.

Lin Ye had learned about things like simulators from novels he had read before; it was about constantly simulating life, changing the fates of target characters, and then obtaining various rewards from the simulations. Then, once he became strong enough, he could punch Gilgamesh and kick Karna.

However, looking at the situation now, this simulation was quite difficult. These NPCs were actually quite intelligent, so he would have to think of another way.

At this moment, Sakura also silently looked at the upcoming simulation.

【You refused the man's invitation. You saw the man sigh helplessly, then silently leave this place.

Day 3: You got into the Matou family's car. Your parents and sister stood at the door to see you off. Although your sister was very reluctant to part with you, she was held back tightly by your father. Thus, you were taken to the Matou family just like that.

Your name was changed to Sakura Matou. This was changed by your grandfather, the old man named Zouken Matou. You knew this was necessary, so you did not resist. Thus, Zouken Matou took you to a room, told you this would be your room from now on, and then turned and left without caring about you.

Day 4: At 0:00 AM, while you were fast asleep, you were suddenly shaken awake by a great force. You opened your sleepy eyes and discovered that the one who woke you was your grandfather, Zouken Matou. Seeing you awake, he only coldly said, "Follow me," and then turned and left.

You followed him. You arrived at a vast, empty basement. You could faintly hear some strange "rustling" sounds. Subsequently, you saw countless terrifying insects crawling out from all directions, and you were instantly filled with fear. You wanted to leave, but you heard Zouken Matou utter an incomparably cold sentence:

"Jump down!"】

What!

Seeing this, Sakura instantly felt her body trembling! Jump down! This man who would be her grandfather was actually telling her to jump into a demonic den filled with insects!

Wasn't he her grandfather!

What on earth did he want to do!

At this moment, Sakura suddenly remembered the man mentioned in the previous simulation—the man who wanted to take her away.

Perhaps, she had chosen wrong just now.
