Fantasy Family Simulator

At this moment, Rhett was not sitting on Firegrid’s back but lying down on it, as if on a warm, soft red blanket—comfortable and cozy.

He gazed up at the blue sky and white clouds, the wind gently stirring the clouds, bringing a sense of peace to his mind.

Closing his eyes, he reflected, "This trip was fruitful—not only did I capture the Sand Spirit, but I also gathered most of the mid-level alchemy formulas, including the most versatile ones. Truly a rewarding journey."

A gentle breeze brushed through his pant legs and around his neck, sending a cool shiver down his spine.

Rhett pondered his next move. He still needed to visit White Pumpkin City and find the owner of the Rattlesnake Tavern. But before that, another simulation was in order.

After all, it had been over three months since the last simulation.

Although the time span wasn’t long, the trajectory of events had shifted significantly, making a fresh look into the future necessary.

Additionally, Rhett had specific plans to revise based on the previous simulation, which required validation in the next one.

With a thought, he activated the system.

"Yes, simulate for one year." Rhett glanced at the system panel, noting that only 7 Fate Points remained, yet he had no choice but to use them.

[In the year 476 of the Kinnon calendar, March 9th, you leave the Circle Tower and begin your journey home.]

[March 18th, you arrive once more at White Pumpkin City, only to find the Rattlesnake Tavern has closed.]

[April 13th, Vanessa becomes pregnant.]

[April 22nd, you reach the southwestern border. This time, instead of returning directly to your territory, you visit the Spark Tavern in Carrow Village and present the token given to you by Blackstar—a coin—requesting a meeting with him.]

[May 1st, Tuck advances to a Level 2 Knight.]

[May 20th, Count Nilo visits you, proposing a match with Jolia, who is twenty years younger than you, which you politely decline. He then suggests a match with Karen, which you also decline. After hearing about your establishment of Dark Eagle City, he requests to rent a shop in your town, to which you agree.]

[July 19th, with the founding of Dark Eagle City, more and more people flood into your territory, rapidly increasing the population. However, some troublemakers disturb the peace, but with your decisive and forceful measures, no one dares to cause trouble again. Your territory enters a stable development phase.]

[July 25th, late at night, an unexpected visitor arrives in your territory—Woldelger—bringing an alchemy master with him. You warmly invite them to your castle, but they express a desire to visit the old nest of the Dark-patterned Eagle in the mountains, to which you agree to accompany them.]

[July 26th, at dawn, you arrive at the former lair of the Dark-patterned Eagle—a lone peak—and discover a dozen or so Dark-patterned Eagles circling the mountain. This discovery excites the alchemy master, who also finds signs of human care nearby. After your explanation, he is highly impressed with you. You propose setting up a Dark-patterned Eagle breeding ground here, with Tuck training the captured Dark-patterned Eagle to become the lead eagle, thereby controlling the entire nest. Your plan is to continuously provide Dark-patterned Eagles for alchemy masters in Ice Castle to develop a poison against dragonkin. The alchemy master is so impressed that he gifts you a Saint-level Earth-element bloodline potion, stating that while it is a failed product, it could be used for alchemical research or sold to others.]

[July 27th, during a conversation with Woldelger, you invite him to join your territory. After a moment’s hesitation, he agrees.]

[August 4th, Taylors advances to a Level 1 Magician.]

[August 9th, Woldelger’s companions, Milton and Vicky, arrive in your territory. After some persuasion from you and Woldelger, and being impressed by your strength, they decide to join your territory.] ŘᴀＮôʙΕʂ

[August 17th, while immersed in understanding the Earth-element’s mysteries, you suddenly gain new insights into the ‘Scatter’ mystery, much to your delight. After testing, you can now initially control the transformation and switching of Earth-element spells between solid and sand states.]

[August 23rd, Willow, while working in the blacksmith shop, suddenly has a breakthrough and successfully forges an apprentice sword, becoming an apprentice blacksmith.]

[August 27th, Blackstar arrives in your territory with a tall woman, inquiring about your reason for contacting him. You inform him that through your connections, you learned that a suspected evil alchemy organization, possibly related to the one in Springwater Town, has taken root in the White Rat mountain range. This news greatly interests Blackstar and the tall woman. After a discussion, the three of you decide to work together to eliminate the threat.]

[August 28th, you and Taylors leave your territory, joining Blackstar and the tall woman in heading to the White Rat mountain range.]

[September 5th, you arrive at the White Rat mountain range and begin searching for traces of the evil alchemists.]

[September 19th, after two weeks of searching, you finally locate the alchemists in an underground cave at the northernmost part of the White Rat mountain range, near the Thunder Bear mountains. With a cold expression, you strike first. Fortunately, the highest-ranked enemy is only a Level 4 Magister, and none can match you. You easily eliminate them.]

[September 20th, after a night of interrogation, you discover a small batch of Blood Source Beads and gain deeper intelligence about the organization. The alchemists hidden in the White Rat mountain range are low-level members who have recently fled from the Graylu Kingdom. They reveal that their organization has branches in several kingdoms, secretly collecting blood for the Blood Source Beads. After finishing the interrogation, you take most of the Blood Source Beads and leave a small portion for Blackstar and the tall woman before parting ways.]

[Text-based simulation ends. Would you like to continue simulating?]

"No."

After reviewing the simulation, Rhett’s brows furrowed tightly, deep in thought.

Overall, few unexpected events occurred. Most developments were positive, and even the minor troubles were easily managed.

But one significant change stood out—the alchemy master from Ice Castle rewarding Rhett with a failed Saint-level bloodline potion in this simulation.

"This... is a rather perplexing change."

Rhett’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Had he not witnessed this simulation, he might not have felt strongly about receiving an alchemical manual, a failed bloodline potion, or even nothing at all. After all, he didn’t know the alchemy master’s behavior, and any gift would be acceptable without prior expectations.

But since the last simulation, Rhett hadn’t had any contact with Ice Castle, yet the reward had drastically changed from an alchemical manual to a bloodline potion. This was a monumental shift.

"What could have caused this?"

Rhett shook his head, lost in thought.

After pondering for a while, something clicked in his mind, and his eyes narrowed sharply.

"Wait, something’s off!"

Rhett sat up abruptly, his pupils constricting as memories rushed through his mind, and he suddenly caught a detail.

"I may not have had direct contact with that alchemy master, but indirectly… it’s hard to say!"

"As a master alchemist in northern Ice Castle, not tied to the royal family, and located not far from the Kingdom of Reim, how could he not have some connection to the Circle Tower?"

Rhett’s eyes lit up as he continued to analyze.

"This time, I spent more time at the Circle Tower than in the last simulation. The different timeline meant I encountered different people in the market's administrative office, and I inadvertently learned that the letter contained hidden information."

Rhett’s thoughts flowed, piecing together his deductions.

"So Master Nilu’s attitude toward me changed. Coupled with the fact that the Rock Lizard bloodline potion I consumed was apparently of poor quality… Could Master Nilu have felt guilty afterward and wanted to compensate me? But not wanting to make it too obvious, he had someone else deliver the compensation?"

As these thoughts settled, Rhett lay back down on Firegrid’s back, silent. After a moment, his brow furrowed again.

"No, if it was compensation, it wouldn’t be such a significant gesture. After all, I already received an alchemy recipe."

"And even if it were compensation, if it was sent through the alchemy master of Ice Castle, there should have been some form of message—some attempt to extend goodwill, making it clear it came from the Circle Tower. Such an organization wouldn’t overlook such a detail…"

After racking his brain for a while.

Rhett shook his head, unable to find a definitive answer. He concluded that this unusual change must be linked to his recent interactions with the Circle Tower.

"It must be this trajectory that influenced the alchemy master’s gift from Ice Castle." Rhett thought silently.

The wind blew, the sun set, and the moon rose. Stars filled the night sky, and the spirits of the night danced above.

Rhett could feel the darkness envelop him as the light dimmed.

He blinked, staring at the dark night sky and the twinkling stars.

Suddenly, he sat up, eyes wide with realization.

He had spent the entire day reviewing his memories—not just from the recent past, but from all his experiences—reliving every detail.

And then he realized something wasn’t right.

Blackstar!

"If… the Rock Lizard bloodline potion had issues, why would Blackstar agree to trade for it?"

Rhett squinted his eyes.

From their previous interactions, Rhett had concluded that Blackstar was backed by a powerful organization that wouldn’t make deals that weren’t beneficial to them.

"Unless… they were genuinely interested in the Rock Lizard potion!"

At that thought, Rhett’s eyes widened, and his breath quickened as if he had uncovered an important secret.

"Then, who would be interested in a Rock Lizard potion, especially one of poor quality?"

The Circle Tower!

"Yes, only the Circle Tower would be interested due to the theft by that traitor. And this organization, which is authorized to make bloodline potions, fits my previous theory about Blackstar’s powerful backing—they wouldn’t lack bloodline potions!"

Rhett’s mind whirled as he connected the dots.

Suddenly, his expression darkened.

"If my guess is correct, then someone of high status within the Circle Tower must have realized that I not only consumed and refined a Rock Lizard bloodline potion but also have another one in my possession!"

This was a rather unsettling thought.

"But if pressed, I could claim that I found another Rock Lizard bloodline potion in some remote corner of the world." Rhett muttered, "After all, the world is vast, and even the most unlikely events can happen."

"So, for now, they are curious, suspicious, and uncertain."

"Was the Saint-level bloodline potion sent by the alchemist from Ice Castle a test from someone who discovered the truth?"

Rhett rubbed his forehead, impressed by his deductive reasoning. With just a few thoughts, he had connected numerous details.

And yet… it seemed logical, albeit lacking solid proof.

He narrowed his eyes, gazing at the stars above, muttering to himself, "Well, whether it’s a test or just a coincidence, a Saint-level bloodline potion sent to me—I’ll gladly accept it…"

Regardless of whether the Saint-level potion was a trap or a stroke of luck.

One thing was clear—Rhett wasn’t about to turn down a gift!
