Chapter 1: First Sim

Evan Williams, a humble family doctor at a small private clinic, casually pondered, "What is this ad?" as he clicked on a mobile advertisement for a "game" called The Savior. In an instant, his body slumped lifelessly in his chair, and darkness enveloped him. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in an entirely new body.

Sifting through the memories of this new existence, Evan was gripped by fear. He had been reborn as Evan Williams, a prodigious young man who had graduated high school at the tender age of 14 and had just begun his studies at Harvard Medical School. Yet, the most shocking revelation was the year—it was 1900. This meant Evan was fated to endure two world wars.

Panic surged through him as he frantically devised ways to prevent these global conflicts, theorizing wildly. Suddenly, a ringing sound snapped him out of his frenzy, and a floating text appeared before his eyes:

[Medical Simulator Is Turned On]

Evan, astonished, exclaimed, "Yes, I am not alone in this mess. I have a system that, too, is a simulation one; it's perfect. I can at least always simulate and avoid deadly situations."

Reflecting on his new reality, Evan mused, "Being from France, I am curious to know how World War I impacted the U.S. Being here feels like a haven from the war."

"Hello, system. Can you communicate?" he asked, hoping for a response.

[Detecting necessary introduction needed]
[Loading, buffering, completed]

[This is a medical simulator, not a conscious life form. It can only simulate future scenarios so the host can learn medical skills in advance.]

[Each simulation does not cost points but has a cooldown which is done through an n-time random configuration]

[All simulations are reset at 00:00, making the first simulation without a relaxed downtime.]

[Second simulation has a cooldown range from 1 to 5 minutes. The third sim ranges from 1 to 30, doubling the maximum time after each new simulation.]

[Each simulation also gives a fixed amount of points based on the rating of your performance. These points can be used to buy blueprints for various medical devices.]

[The creator wants you to know that there is technology not only from your era but also from more futuristic eras, including various gene-enhancing serums that can increase one's lifespan.]

"Wow, gene-enhancing serums. By the time I live through the world wars, I could become the father of modern medicine," Evan remarked.

"Alright, let's not waste time. Start the first simulation."

[The first simulation is being loaded. Please select the type of simulation: (Life Simulation) or (Specialization Simulation)]

Evan, thinking aloud, said, "I see, specialization simulation must be for improving a specific skill. But as this body knows nothing, it's pointless to think more. I choose Life Simulation. By the way, is the cooldown the same for both, or are they different?"

[Question detected, calibrating a valid response.]

[Both simulations share the same cooldown. However, fewer points can be earned during specialization simulations as they focus entirely on improving the selected skill.]

"That makes sense," Evan acknowledged. "Alright, start the Life Simulation."

[Life Simulation loading...]

[Year 0: You are 14 years old, but through your genius, you not only compete in high school but also ace the entrance examination for Harvard Medical School.]

[Year 1: You struggle with advanced reading and barely manage to pass your first year.]

[Year 2: Despite your efforts, you fail your final exams miserably. Your scholarship is retained due to your age and the challenges you face.]

[Year 3: You fail again, causing the college board to withdraw your scholarship. You are not expelled but are advised to reconsider your career path.]

[You insist on continuing your medical studies, forcing your parents to support you financially for another year.]

Evan felt a pang of disappointment reading this. "I underestimated the difficulty of studying at Harvard in the 1900s."

[Year 4: After three years of struggle, you finally pass the second year under the threat of expulsion.]

[Year 5: At 18, you again fail your third-year finals and are expelled from Harvard. After a big fight with your parents, you run away.]

[Through connections, you get a chance to study at a local university and finally pass your exams, moving on to the fourth year.]

Evan's self-doubt deepened. "If the founder of the French Union University saw this, he'd have a heart attack."

[Year 6: You complete your schooling and begin practicing medicine without an internship.]

"Wait, no internship for a medical license?" Evan questioned.

[Year 7: You join a nearby hospital and are transferred to the emergency division due to your qualifications.]

[Year 8: Despite your efforts, your career ends abruptly when you accidentally kill three critically ill patients.]

[Simulation Ends. Rewards Being Generated.]

[Points earned: 50]

[Please select one of the following: All medical knowledge accumulated, All experience accumulated, or Names of the two patients you killed.]

"Of course, I select all the knowledge accumulated in the simulation. The other options are useless," Evan declared.

"I can't believe what a failure I am. I managed to ruin the potential of a genius with future knowledge. No, it's not my fault. The current equipment is outdated. I need to upgrade everything. I'll use my Harvard connections to promote these advancements."

[Cooldown set to 2 minutes.]
