Life Simulator: I’m Really Not an Old God

[Transformation, Cthulhu, Misguided Assumptions, Behind the Scenes, The Old Ones, Life Simulator]

Lu Shiyu is bound to the Archive of the Old Ones.

She dives into lethal sealed scenarios and earns incredible rewards. She has only one goal: gather enough power to go home and save someone.

She really has no other motives.

On her first run through a Republican-era death scenario, she slashes her wrist at the execution ground to open a blood ritual, then turns around and offers the cult’s high priest as a living sacrifice.

The entire city falls to its knees, crying and calling her the Shadow Lord made flesh.

Lu Shiyu: “? It’s just a daily quest. Really, there’s no need. I’ll be gone in three days.”

After unlocking a Yellow Robe avatar, she casually sends it to wander through rifts around the world, hoping to gather clues and rewards.

A rift erupts on the East Coast. The Yellow Robe figure strides over the waves and single-handedly suppresses the surging tide of mutated creatures.

Something stirs in the far northern ice fields. Whispers of shadow echo across the snow, and all the Old Ones’ creatures prostrate themselves as one.

The Anomaly Response Bureau lists the “Yellow-Robed Lord” as the highest-level Old One, then locks its file away in a top-secret vault overnight.

Lu Shiyu: “Oh, I forgot to recall the avatar.”

Later, rifts erupt around the world all at once, and humanity’s defenses collapse completely.

Just as everyone falls into despair, Yellow Robes descend from the sky, and a slender figure stands before the largest rift in the world.

All the Old Ones’ creatures bow their heads, and even the spatial rifts slowly close at her will.

All of humanity erupts in a frenzy.

The Yellow-Robed Lord! The Lord of the Old Ones!

Lu Shiyu looks down and checks the energy on her status panel, then breathes a sigh of relief.

That should be enough.

This time, it’s enough to go home, right?

Oh, right.

Let me say it one last time.

I really am not an Old One deity!
