Chapter 2: Don't Get Me Started—It's All Tears
【Would you like to begin the simulation?】
"Start!" Chen Ling drew a deep breath.
【Very well.】
【You have selected options 2 and 3 as your starting talents. The simulator has granted you 5 attribute points and is now assigning your personal attributes.】

【Constitution: 1】
【Reputation: 1】
【Note: If any attribute drops to zero, the probability of simulation failure and death increases dramatically.】
Looking at the attribute panel hovering before her, Chen Ling furrowed her brow.

The attribute distribution was different every time.
She recalled that in her last simulation, "Reputation" had been replaced by "Dao Companion +1." That unexpected start had filled her with giddy excitement, fantasizing about encountering some devastatingly beautiful dao companion during the run.
Reality, however, had been a bucket of ice water to the face. At age four, she'd run into a revolting pedophile, and that unbearable experience still made her shudder to this day.
Chen Ling let out a weary sigh. "Don't get me started—it's all tears."

"Hopefully this time everything goes smoothly. Otherwise, I'll have to consider the simulator's other function."
The system's voice rang out once more.

【Talent and attribute points have been assigned. Simulator activating.】
A flash of light erupted before Chen Ling's eyes.
【Simulation Day 1: With a wailing cry, you are born.】
【Simulation Month 1: You take stock of your family's situation. To your surprise, you've been born into a minor landlord's household. Not a bad start, you figure—your parents dote on you, and at least you don't have to worry about being thrown away.】
【Simulation Month 2: You proceed steadily, focusing on surviving five years first before worrying about cultivation. As long as you survive five years, you're guaranteed a baseline talent selection at minimum.】
【Simulation Year 1: You fight to suppress the impulse that comes with having even a shred of authority—the urge to do whatever you please.】

【After all, as a maidservant, you've swallowed too much humiliation. You want to know what it feels like to hold power for once.】
【You notice a beautiful young widow in the landlord's household, struggling to survive for the sake of the infant in her arms.】
【Your first thought is to lord it over her—"You wouldn't want your baby to starve to death, would you?"—and cop a feel off the pretty widow.】
【But then you reason that if someone found out, it could cause an incident. Before anything else, you have to stay calm.】
【Simulation Year 2: You've been good and obedient, the picture of a well-behaved little girl. Your mother and father adore their precious little daughter.】
【Simulation Year 2, Month 1: A woman suddenly arrives at the estate. She examines your body thoroughly and remarks that your willpower is stronger than most women's, and that you might be able to withstand "that ordeal."】

【You see the look in her eyes as she appraises you. Then your mother throws herself into your father's arms, weeping and repeating "I'm sorry" over and over. You realize instantly that something is very wrong.】
【The woman tells you to come with her.】

【It's only been two years. You don't want to go. You cry and beg your parents, saying you just want to stay by their side.】
【Your mother can't bear it either. She pleads: "Ling'er is still so young. Even if she's more sensible than most, her body is still too frail—she definitely can't handle it. How about we just forget this?"】
【But before she can finish, your formerly gentle father slaps her across the face, then clasps his hands and bows deeply to the woman. "That Ling'er has been chosen is an honor for our Chen family."】
【Staring at this stranger who used to be your father, you stop begging. If you kept pleading, he'd probably slap you too.】
Wėb̃ no v̇е l̇ Ĕn̈u ḿ а̄
【Your heart goes cold. Tears well in your eyes. You let out a breath of hopeless resignation, and in the end, you follow the woman away.】
【You ask her what exactly you're being taken to do. She says nothing, only that you'll find out when the time comes, and adds that if it succeeds, this will be your honor too—you will become a weapon for the Saintess of the Demon Flame Sect.】
【You don't understand what that means. The only thing you can gather is that any sect with "Demon" in its name is probably a demonic cultivation faction.】
【Since it's demonic cultivators, your fate can't possibly be good. At the same time, you can only hope that the plan is to make you a disciple.】

【Simulation Year 2, Month 2: You arrive at the Demon Flame Sect and discover a number of boys and girls around your age.】
【After the woman who brought you leaves, you ask them what they know. Most of them are mute. One girl tells you that the ones who cried and made a fuss had their vocal cords poisoned into silence.】
W̊ ěb̄ n о̃v̊ е̂ l̆ E n um̃ а
【As for why they've all been brought here, she doesn't know either—she only just arrived herself.】
【Simulation Year 2, Month 3: The sect distributes a cultivation manual.】
【Your heart leaps with joy. It seems they really do intend to take you in as a demonic disciple. If so, surviving five years shouldn't be a problem.】
【Simulation Year 2, Month 5: You begin to sense that something is deeply wrong with this manual. It seems designed to channel all the blood-qi from your entire body into your spine, and you have the creeping feeling that even your soul is being funneled there.】
【You can't fathom why such a technique exists—one that only strengthens the spine at the expense of every other part of the body.】
【You consider refusing to cultivate, but then you see what happens to one of the more perceptive children who catches on and raises an objection—his head is crushed on the spot like a melon.】

【That tells you all you need to know. This is a road with no return. You can only keep cultivating.】
【Simulation Year 2, Month 7: Every part of your body has withered. You're barely two years old, yet you look like an eighty-year-old crone. The only difference is your spine—grotesquely swollen and jutting outward.】
【The other children look the same.】
【Simulation Year 3: Several Demon Flame Sect disciples walk in, accompanied by their seniors.】
【They tell the disciples to go inside and choose. The disciples inspect each of you carefully, running their hands along your bulging spinal columns.】
【As if admiring prized treasures.】

【Several children are selected and taken away.】
【Simulation Year 4: You're the only one left. With one final year to go, you know you probably won't last that long.】

【Because you've seen what happens—one disciple, too eager to wait, had his weapon extracted right then and there. Yes, weapons. The spine is the weapon.】
【You still can't wrap your head around it—all this effort, just to cultivate children's spines into weapons. Children's spines are supposed to be fragile at this age, so why not use older subjects?】
【No one bothers to explain.】
【Simulation Year 4, Month 1: A woman walks in.】
W̃ e b̂n òvēl̂ Еň um̄а
【You look at her and rasp weakly: "So you're my wielder."】
【She says coolly: "You really are different from the other children. I hope you can produce the desired effect."】
【You ask her why children are used as weapons.】
【She doesn't answer. You press the question—you want to at least die with your eyes open.】

【After a pause, she finally says: "I want a sword that contains a vengeful spirit. Children your age produce several times more resentment than adults. The greater the resentment, the more powerful the Spine Sword. So please—don't disappoint me."】
【You understand now. You beg her—can she come back in a year?】
Ŵѐ b̃_n̈ õ v̈e l É.ṅüm̂ a
【She refuses.】
【You look into her eyes. You want to plead further, but all you see is cold indifference. You know begging is useless. You accept reality.】
【Through unimaginable agony, your spine is ripped from your body. The pain surpasses anything a human should be able to endure.】
【You discover that what's been torn out isn't just bone—it's your soul.】
【She succeeds. She truly does produce a Spine Sword bearing a vengeful spirit.】
【But not long after, the resentment within the Spine Sword suddenly dissipates.】

【You die.】
【Simulation ended.】
【Objectives not met. No rewards will be issued.】
Chen Ling slowly opened her eyes and couldn't help reaching back to touch her own spine.
"Sss—" The piercing, bone-deep pain still lingered.
Then she slammed her fist down hard on the table.
Ê n̊ ůṁ.å
"Son of a bitch—fucking failed again!"
