Simulator is just a game

"No, no, no, this is not possible. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. HOW IS HE WORTHY WHEN HIS ACTIONS WERE NO DIFFERENT THAN MINE?"

The middle-aged man screamed and reached the statue. His actions were quite violent and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck him out of nowhere.

[You aren't judged by your actions but by your mentality. You failed because you changed. He passed because he didn't change.]

A soft melodious voice rang from the statue, startling Tyler.

Tyler raised his head and saw the statue but he couldn't sense any kind of energy from it. He thought the statue was just for a show but it turned out it had quite an authority.

"How? How didn't he change? He fucked his mother in front of his father. His actions tortured his father. He was completely sunk into lust. How is that any different from mine?"

The middle-aged man didn't stop screaming. His eyes were turned red with madness.

The flashes of images appeared in his eyes. He saw himself fucking his mother and sister. He saw himself torturing his father. Except, all of that happened not only in the simulator but also in the real life.

It happened because the lust that he had inside the simulator remained inside of him and changed him. He slowly got degraded and finally, when he was found having sex with the Empress, he was executed.

He wouldn't have been found if he had just fucked the empress in secret. But no, he tried to fuck her in her own room and with the emperor sleeping on the side just like how he did in the simulator.

Unfortunately, the emperor was way stronger than him and the empress. So, he was captured and then later executed by the empress.

There were two reasons why he couldn't grow stronger. After he got disqualified, he didn't get resources from the simulator. And, because he was too lustful, he spent every single second having sex with women, so he never worked hard and trained.

That's how his life went. After he died, the system took his soul and his powers and left his dead body to find a new host.

And, that Host turned out to be a boy with no talent at all. He had been observing Tyler whenever Tyler was inside the simulator. And, he quickly came to realize that Tyler would also fail because he was letting himself get consumed by lust.

So, when System made the declaration that Tyler didn't change, he couldn't accept it. Because Tyler did exactly what he had done.

"Wait, wait, man, why are you accusing me just because you failed? And, why are you saying such a heinous thing? I would never do such a thing to my mother."

"When did you ever see me doing that? Besides my father is already dead." Tyler immediately flared up and shouted at the man.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment and his eyes turned red with anger.

"Boy, are you trying to play with me? I saw you fucking your mother, aunts, and other women with my own eyes. If you don't know, I can enter your simulator and watch your life."

When he said that, Tyler's anger disappeared.

"Oh! That's what you meant. Then, say it clearly. Hoo! I almost thought that you were accusing me of something that I didn't do. Wait, wait, why are you saying that I would change because of something do inside a simulation? What does that get to do with my real life?"

Hearing his words, the middle-aged man clenched his fist and asked.

"Are you telling me that you didn't change even though you did all that inside the game?"

"Yeah! Why would I change? Wait, wait, Alice recently told me that if you play the game too much, you start using the game words in real life."

When Tyler realized that, his eyes widened. He covered his mouth and spoke.

"You did that to your mother in real life. How could you? You fucking bastard..."

Tyler felt rage flowing through his eyes. He jumped forward and tried to grab him but phased through him.

"Damn it! You are just a soul. But, how could you do such a heinous thing? She is your mother. For god sake, how could you even think of doing such a thing to your mother?"

"I understand. I understand. This is why you failed. But, why did you do that? I mean you are inside a simulator. You are controlling your character inside the simulator."

"You aren't even there in the first place. You were just manipulating your character to do what you want. Look! I had to gather resources for something and so I decided to conquer the world and fuck as many women as I can."

"But, I wasn't the one doing that. Why do you think you constantly get reminded of what you did through a text in your head? Haven't you ever received Sword or fighting experience from the simulator?"

"Didn't you find the difference? I found it. Even though I managed to acquire Sword Aura through ten years of my training, when I received experience, I didn't manage to awaken Sword Aura instantly."

"Because those experiences were just in the form of memories. They weren't something that your body experienced."

Tyler shook his head and continued.

"It was your fault, man. You are a lustful bastard who tried to do something like that. Of course, I understand you. I also felt a little bit lustful at first but when I realized that this was just a game and nothing more, that lust just vanished."

"Either you didn't realize that in time or you truly were a scum."

When he said that, a melodious voice rang from the statue once again.

[You are correct, Host. The Eighth Host didn't pass because he changed himself and failed as a dual cultivator. You passed not because you realized that it was a game.]

[The main reason why you passed is that you possess it.]

When Tyler heard that, his eyes widened. He suddenly remembered something and asked.

"You mean my personality? You are telling me that the only reason I didn't change was because of my different personalities?"

[It is more than just different personalities.]
