The pain was all I felt… until the darkness swallowed me whole.
When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in the hospital room, nor on the streets where the bus hit me. Instead, I floated in a void. Silence pressed on me, like I was the last living thing in existence. Then—
[Welcome, Host: Troy][Simulation System: Sukuna Life Protocol Initialized]You have been chosen to bear the cursed path of the King of Calamity.
My throat was dry. "A… system? You've got to be kidding me."
The text ignored me, glowing brighter.
[Simulation Slot Available]World: Naruto – Warring Clans EraTimeline: Before the Founding of KonohaDifficulty: High (Death is certain)
Would you like to begin your first simulation?Yes / No
I stared at the floating words. Naruto? The manga? My mind spun. The Warring Clans Era wasn't a time of heroes—it was endless war, betrayal, and death.
"…If I refuse?"
[Refusal detected. Host survival chance in Reality: 0%]Note: Host is already dead. Only simulations can grant revival and power.
My lips curled into a bitter smile. Figures. I died once already—what's the harm in trying again?
"…Yes."
The void cracked like glass. I plummeted through, my body splitting apart, reforming, burning with pain until the words branded themselves across my sight:
[Simulation Commencing…]Identity: Ryomen Sukuna – King of CursesAbilities Available: Cleave, Dismantle, Malevolent Shrine (Sealed)Special Rule: You are Destruction Itself. You cannot negotiate, you cannot rule—you only destroy.
[Ding, the Simulation System has been bound—]
[Host Identity Confirmed: Troy][Template Activated: Ryomen Sukuna, King of Curses][Simulation Commencing—]
[Day 1:] You awaken on a battlefield littered with corpses. The Senju and Uchiha clash in endless waves, their jutsu tearing apart the land. A wounded shinobi stumbles toward you. You raise your hand and mutter a single word: "Dismantle." His body splits in two. Fear spreads among the survivors, and the first whispers of "a demon" begin.
[Day 2:] You spend the morning cultivating cursed energy. The battlefield remains restless, yet no one dares approach your position. By evening, scouts from the Hyūga clan attempt an ambush. You slaughter them all with a wave of your cursed energy.
[Day 3:] You walk across a burning forest. The Sarutobi and Uzumaki clash violently nearby. Both sides stop when they see you. Without hesitation, you annihilate them all, declaring, "Your wars are meaningless—only destruction matters."
[Day 4:] Shinobi from multiple clans unite to hunt you down. Fireballs, water dragons, and lightning bolts rain from the sky. Laughing, you cleave them apart with Sukuna's techniques. Blood and ashes mark your path.
[Day 5:] Wounded but unbroken, you spend the day cultivating in silence. The ground shakes in the distance—Hashirama Senju's Wood Release tears through the battlefield. You watch but do not yet intervene.
[Day 6:] You are ambushed by Uchiha elites. Their Sharingan burns bright, but their eyes only widen in despair when your cursed energy erases them. Your reputation spreads further: "The Calamity of the Battlefield."
[Day 7:] A shadow descends. Madara Uchiha himself steps forward, his Mangekyō Sharingan locked onto you. His Susanoo towers over the battlefield. You clash violently—your Dismantle cuts pieces of his construct, but his overwhelming might forces you back.
[Day 8:] Bleeding and battered, you unleash an incomplete Malevolent Shrine. Forests, rivers, and mountains vanish, split by invisible blades. Thousands die in silence. Yet Madara still stands, his eyes glowing with hatred.
[Day 9:] The battle with Madara continues, stretching into the night. You fall at last, pierced by his blade of chakra. Your laughter echoes as the world collapses into darkness.

[Next Simulation Available: Marvel Universe – New York Invasion]Difficulty: CatastrophicCorruption Gain: High

[Simulation Slot Activated…]
[Day 1:] You materialize atop a skyscraper. Below, chaos reigns. Buildings crumble as alien invaders rain fire down on the city. Civilians scream, cars explode, and the Avengers appear, struggling to hold the line.
You remain still, observing. Your Domain Amplification tingles as latent energy spreads from your body, warping the air around you.
[Quest: Spread Destruction]Objective: Cause chaos across Manhattan while surviving attacks from heroes.Reward: +15% Sukuna Template, Unlock "Black Flash" Technique.
By nightfall, a police helicopter spots you hovering above Times Square. Iron Man jets forward, weapons glowing. He fires a repulsor blast. You raise a hand lazily.
"Dismantle."
The blast vaporizes into nothing. Tony Stark freezes mid-air, eyes wide. Fear—a rare feeling among these heroes—touches him.
[Day 2:] You stroll through the streets. A squadron of heroes blocks your path. Thor raises Mjolnir; Captain America hurls his shield. You cleave the shield in half with a flick of your hand, sending Cap sprawling.
Civilians scream. The Avengers regroup. You laugh.
[Daily Progress: 12% Manhattan Destroyed][Corruption Meter: +3% — Hunger → Hatred]
[Day 3:] Spider-Man swings into the fight, trying to stop you. You toy with him, dodging effortlessly while tearing apart nearby streets. By night, a small section of Manhattan is flattened, the skyline scarred.
[Daily Progress: 25% Manhattan Destroyed][Corruption Meter: +5% — Hatred → Malice]
You realize something strange
[Day 4:]
Morning breaks over the shattered skyline. Smoke curls from collapsed buildings, sirens wailing in the distance. You rise atop a broken skyscraper, surveying your work.
The Avengers have gathered: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Spider-Man. They approach cautiously, sensing the overwhelming cursed energy radiating from you.
[Quest Update: Spread Destruction – 25% Complete]
You smile. They think they can stop you. With a flick of your hand, Thor's hammer spins uncontrollably, striking Hulk and Iron Man alike. Spires of shattered concrete rise like claws from the ground, piercing through fleeing enemies.
[Daily Progress: 40% Manhattan Destroyed][Corruption Meter: +6% — Malice → Catastrophe]
By nightfall, streets are unrecognizable. People are screaming in panic, and the heroes are regrouping, battered but determined. You feel a strange thrill—the taste of destruction is intoxicating.
[Day 5:]
You wake early, already attuned to the chaos around you. A helicopter patrol spots you; Iron Man and War Machine fire volleys of missiles. You laugh, watching them disintegrate mid-air under your Domain Amplification.
Spider-Man attempts to web you to a building, but the threads burn instantly as your cursed energy touches them.
[Daily Progress: 55% Manhattan Destroyed][Corruption Meter: +7% — Catastrophe → Full Sukuna Manifestation (Partial)]
By dusk, the Avengers are desperate. You toy with them, dismantling cars, sending fragments of buildings raining down. You are no longer merely Troy—you are Sukuna incarnate.
[Day 6:]
Your laughter echoes across the ruined city. Iron Man finally initiates the Hulkbuster suit, and Hulk charges with full force. You block his punch casually, the sheer force vibrating through your body but barely slowing you.
[Quest Update: Spread Destruction – 75% Complete]
Thor unleashes a lightning storm, Hulk smashes through skyscrapers, Captain America deflects debris with his shield. Yet every attack you shrug off, your Domain Amplification enhancing your cursed techniques further.
[Daily Progress: 75% Manhattan Destroyed][Corruption Meter: +9% — Full Sukuna Manifestation Achieved]
The city screams. You feel alive in a way Troy never did—alive in absolute chaos and destruction.
[Day 7:] – The Climax
Morning comes. Manhattan is barely recognizable. Fires rage everywhere, and the Avengers stand ready for a final assault.
You sense the culmination of your power. With a roar, you activate the full extent of your Domain Amplification and extend your cursed energy into the streets. Cars, buildings, and helicopters disintegrate instantly.
[Quest Completed: Spread Destruction – 100% Manhattan Destroyed][Reward: +15% Sukuna Template Progression, "Black Flash" Technique Unlocked]
Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk converge for a combined attack. Your body moves faster than thought, slicing through their combined might. Yet, in the final clash, a massive blast of energy engulfs you—Madara-level destructive force in this universe? No… the combined Avengers' last effort.
You fall. The city erupts around you. Darkness swallows you again.
