Chapter 17 Archives - "Avenger" Charles

"......it's over?"

Charles supported himself on the mattress and tried to sit up, but soon his arms went limp and he lay back down.

The two events that happened in the simulation, using death reversal and drinking the potion, left Ciel extremely mentally weak.

She is now in a very strange state. She clearly wants to raise her hand, and after a while her hand is raised, but soon it collapses because she cannot execute the next command issued by her brain.

It's like playing a high-latency version of Human Fall Flat.

Charles simply gave up on taking any further action and just lay on the bed looking at the system prompts in front of him.

"Character... archive?"

Charles was a little surprised to get 33 life points at one time, which was higher than the one given when he killed the semi-transcendent Thomas last time.

But it’s normal when you think about it.

Because the self in this simulation survived the entire 24 hours, it was equivalent to breaking the deadlock of being used as a ritual sacrifice.

In other words, as long as the current self follows the same development as in the simulation and goes directly to the Church of the Savior Goddess to find Julis, he and his sister can survive.

But Charles did not rush to make a choice. Instead, he exited the system screen in front of him and reopened the interface.

"simulation"

Character Archive

"Skill"

"storehouse"

Points Shop

In the new system interface, "Character Archive" is inserted between "Simulation" and "Skills".

Charles clicked on the new tab directly.

A silver light flashed, and three rectangular boxes appeared in front of Charles. For a moment, Charles seemed to see the character selection interface of DNF.

In the leading box, there stood a person, who was looking in the direction of Charles through the system screen.

She wore a black robe with silver edges, similar to Julis's, and a pure white human face mask on her face. Several silver geometric lines outlined her facial features on the mask.

The black-robed figure in the picture slowly raised her hands, one hand reaching for her hood and the other reaching for her mask. The cuffs of her robe slid down as her hands moved, revealing the blood-stained bandages tied around her hands.

Charles noticed that there were some black scars on her hands that looked like they had been burned and had not yet fully healed. At this time, she had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

The mask came off, the hood opened, and half-grown, curly fiery red hair appeared before Charles' eyes.

At the same time, a black shadow with silver-white eyes appeared, half-kneeling at the feet of the girl in the interface.

The person in the interface was none other than Charles himself.

In other words, it was the self in the simulation just now.

Half of her waist-length hair was burned by the fire, and now it has become shoulder-length curly hair. Her brows were furrowed, which brought a hint of violence to her usually calm face, and there seemed to be fire burning in her dark red eyes.

As if it had noticed Charles's gaze, the black shadow that was originally half-kneeling at the feet in the interface stood up shakily, stepped forward step by step, and lay down on the interface, as if it was looking at Charles outside curiously. The picture was completely blocked by the burning silhouette of Charles.

Stand...Stand user?

Subhuman?

Susanoo?

Anyway, it seems now that I did successfully digest the potion in the last simulation. That thing that was like a stand user was probably the ability that came after drinking the potion.

"The Avengers and the Ascetics come from the same source, both from the Church of the Goddess of Savior..."

Charles thought of the situations in the simulation that he often couldn't understand - such as Thomas and Solari being pinned to their knees on the ground, and the objects that floated in the air.

Perhaps it was Julis's ability that did this, but since I wasn't a transcendent at the time, I couldn't observe her ability, so I felt it was strange.

"System, what's the use of character archives?"

Ciel asked the system directly.

Although there were some instructions in the previous settlement interface, they were too general, so it is better to ask clearly.

"Character archives can preserve characters that survive the simulation. All details are 1:1 replicated, and the status is retained at the last moment of the simulation."

"When the host chooses to simulate, a character selection interface will appear, allowing the host to choose to enter in "pure mode" or "archived character"."

"'Pure Mode' is like normal, entering directly with the host's body template, while 'Save Character' mode uses the character in the save file to descend."

"Note: The background of the saved character has nothing to do with the new simulation. If any problems occur, the system is not responsible."

"The host can spend destiny points in reality to transform into a certain saved character and act in reality for a period of time."

"Current exchange rate: 5 Destiny Points = 30 minutes"

"Note: Damage received by the saved character in simulation or reality will not be saved. Real-life damage will be borne by the host. Please proceed with caution."

"Note: The second transformation within the time limit also consumes destiny points and overwrites the previous transformation. The two save files will not be superimposed."

A series of system prompts piled up in front of Ciel. After reading all the system texts one by one, Ciel understood the function of "Character Archive".

The next time she enters the simulation, she can enter directly using the character in the save file, but will not inherit any background relationships.

For example, if Ciel chooses this save file to enter the previous simulation, then as soon as he enters, Ciel will already be a transcendent and won't even need to drink the potion again.

Before, I always entered the simulation with my real body, but next time I can choose a character to enter the simulation.

After surviving in the simulation for 24 hours, you can choose to save this character to a new archive or overwrite the original one. In other words, if you become stronger in the simulation using the archived character, you can also keep the stronger power in the archive.

The latter part is easier to understand.

Now, Ciel can spend 5 life points to transform himself into the extraordinary Ciel in the archive, and possess all the abilities in the archive.

In other words, she can now temporarily become a transcendent.

What an amazing ability...

After you obtain the potion later, you can even go in in pure mode to perform the ritual and save it...

In other words, if there are enough save slots, she can even create a save file for each different potion path, so that she can possess the extraordinary abilities of all paths in disguise.

If he really chose the path in the simulation just now and joined the Church of the Savior Goddess, then his path would always be limited to the "Avenger" path. If he wanted to acquire new path abilities, he could only do so through the "Past" simulation, which would greatly waste Charles' advantage in predicting the future.

If you want to get a full-power save, you still need to be more low-key, not join any party, and secretly acquire all abilities...

At this moment, Charles finally felt relaxed.

With an extraordinary save file, he could become an extraordinary person for a short period of time, and his current destiny points were enough for four simulations.

When I didn't have any extraordinary abilities, I could have traded my life for that of the half-baked Thomas.

After acquiring extraordinary abilities, Charles was convinced that he could resolve this trouble without getting hurt.

Just be careful not to let anyone find out that you did all this, that's all...

The immense tiredness brought on by relaxation swept over Ciel. After simulating four times in a row, Ciel was already mentally exhausted. Overwhelmed by the surging sleepiness, she slowly closed her eyes.

"Wake up...try to save...adapt..."

Charles muttered something and fell asleep.

Chapter 18 Let’s go through it quickly

圣741年6月18日，伯伦市，凌晨3点50。

In a small room on the second floor of a row house at No. 44, Nanbei Stone Street, in the Bell Tower Lane area, Charles woke up slowly from his sleep.

After nearly nine hours of sleep, Charles' spirit was restored. At this moment, she lay limply on the bed, and seemed to be a little reluctant to wake up.

But soon, she forced herself to sit up, picked up the cup next to her and took a sip of water.

I don’t know if it’s because I was too tired, but I slept very comfortably.

Charles remained kneeling on the bed and called out to the system in his heart.

The bright silver screen appeared before her eyes, making Charles feel at ease.

At least you won't wake up and find it was all a dream.

She opened the simulation interface and looked at the simulation time in the interface.

「来日：1 Day（圣741年6月19日6:25）（消耗10命定点）」

「往日：3 Day（圣741年6月15日7:30）（消耗10命定点）」

"Old Days: ***, *** Day (???) (Consumes 10000 Fate Points)"

6月19号6:25......如果自己什么都没做的话，模拟进去6分钟后就是死期。

It seems that as long as I don’t really get through the 19th, the simulation will be stuck here.

Charles had thought he could continue simulating further events, but seeing this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The first two simulations were also at this time point. Both times, only a small amount of information was obtained and then the person was killed by someone else's gun.

For Charles ten hours ago, arriving at this point in time would undoubtedly be a dead end.

But for Ciel, who has now experienced four simulations, this "dead end" can no longer bring her any tension.

Charles lit the candle on the bedside, took a pencil, opened his notebook, tore off the first few pages, burned the words completely on the candle, crumpled them up and threw them into the trash can.

Then, Charles started writing on a new page.

[1. I need to familiarize myself with my abilities in the archive]

[2. Ask my sister to take a leave of absence as before and wait at a café in the city center]

3. Develop a plan that can eliminate Thomas, Solari, and others while clearing yourself of all suspicion.

This is the goal she set for her future self. Of course, the first goal is her most important goal, and the last and third ones are to let her future self help her think of some countermeasures during this time.

This can save you a lot of thinking time.

"Come on, future me."

Ciel smiled slightly, drew a simple smiley face at the end, and then closed the notebook.

She held the notebook and lay on the bed in a big letter shape.

Ciel prepared to enter the simulation, but before that, she wanted to see if there were any useful extra items in the mall.

Judging from the clothes she was wearing when she was unconscious in the previous save file, her clothes had been changed by Julis, and it was very likely that they were Julis' own clothes.

Maybe she could find something useful in the mall.

After opening the mall, a series of things appeared in front of her.

"[Julis's Underpants]"

"Destiny Points: 1"

"[Julis's Corset]"

"Destiny Points: 1"

"[Savior Goddess Cult High Priest Robe "Silver Grace"]"

"Destiny Points: 5"

"[Savior Emblem - "Waiter"]"

"Destiny Points: 1"

"[Bloody Bandage]"
