---
Led by the company's technology research and development department,
"Simulation: Multidimensional Life", a universe-class blockbuster cultural brand jointly created by Interstellar Internet and Interstellar Peace Films, spread like a plague along countless planets incorporated into the Interstellar Peace Company system.
It occupies every netizen’s homepage in an all-pervasive way.
With this diarrhea-like, locust-like publicity, "The Simulation: Multidimensional Life" even surpassed "Aether Front" in momentum at one point, and topped the social platforms of multiple planets with unparalleled momentum.
The player is an ordinary Xianzhou person, born in Luofu, and passed the adult examination at a very young age but still unable to watch the 200-year-old limited fantasy play.
Players are very curious about this game.
After all, this is how the people of Xianzhou are in peacetime. They have no worries about food and clothing, and no worries about food and drink. When their physical needs are almost met, they need to address their spiritual needs.
The player ordered the game.
Interstellar transport was fast, and soon a mechanical crane began knocking on the player's door.
The player entered the game.
The player stared at the holographic interface in front of him, his fingertips trembling slightly, with excitement and curiosity.
"'Simulation: Multidimensional Life', welcome to a world of infinite possibilities!" The system sound is magnetic and has a mechanical texture, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
Players can't wait: "Infinite possibilities? Then let me see how real this game is."
The player stands in a vast starry sky, with two options listed on the screen in front of him:
**Single-player mode:** Experience the entire world line alone, without external interference, and write your own destiny.
**Online Mode:** Share the same universe with other players, interact, cooperate, or even compete with each other to build a more complex network of interpersonal relationships.
Players don't hesitate
——I chose the stand-alone mode.
Then the player muttered in a dissembling manner: "I don't want to be disturbed, yes, that's it. I want to quietly explore a universe that belongs to me."
Then, a virtual mirror appeared in front of the player. The system prompt sounded gently:
"Please proceed to character creation. You can choose to manually shape your face or import your own body data. We recommend importing your own data for a more realistic and immersive experience."
The player stared at the avatar in the mirror with a sly look in his eyes: "Face-shaping? Or importing?"
The player waved his hand, "Anyway, I'm from Xianzhou. My genetic configuration is definitely superior. Let's import it and see how strong it is."
She clicked on the option **"Import your own body data"** without hesitation.
After a few seconds, the system prompts: "The player's own data has been detected and is being imported... Import successful."
The virtual character in the mirror immediately turned into her appearance, with black hair and black eyes, and a special sense of agility in her eyes.
The player stared at the basic data on the panel and laughed out loud:
[
Strength: 9 (You are so strong that you can dismantle a star raft with your bare hands)
Agility: 8 (The wind can't catch you, but you can tie its shoelaces)
Intelligence: 9.3 (Just smart enough, 0.7 more would have made him a core member of an omnic machine)
Endurance: 10 (others are iron men, but you are a perpetual motion machine)
Charm: 9 (Don't look back, there's already a galaxy-long queue behind you)
Perception: 8 (You can hear the gurgling of magma deep within the Earth's core)

Explosive force: 7 (You jump lightly, and the gravity of the planet is trying hard to pull you back)
Resilience: 9.9 (Even if you were buried under the earth's crust, you could still crawl out while yawning)
Balance: 8 (You are standing on the edge of a cliff, and no matter how strong the wind is, it cannot move you even a nanometer)
Concentration: 7 (You stare at a stone and it thinks it's important)
Stress Tolerance: 8 (The weight of the entire planet is on your shoulders, and you're still thinking about what to eat for lunch)
Dexterity: 8 (You can carve a miniature city out of two stones)
Toughness: 7 (If you fall once, the ground will be too embarrassed to trip you a second time)

Environmental adaptability: 9.8 (whether in the scorching desert heat or the freezing polar cold, you can calmly make a cup of tea)
Burst Duration: 9 (You can run until the planet rotates and becomes tired, but you are still not tired)
Basic allocation points: 5
"System reminder: Please allocate carefully. Every point may determine whether you are a legend in the star sea or a laughing stock in the interstellar world."
］
The player patted himself narcissistically. "I'm so strong. Agility, Perception, Burst, Focus, and Resilience all increased by one point."
[System prompt: Attribute points have been successfully allocated.]
Two new options pop up on the panel:
**Immersive experience:** You will be completely immersed in the experience of a lifetime. There is no way to save, load or fast-forward. You must experience every step yourself, as if living it again.
**Free experience:** The sense of immersion is weak, and you can save, load and fast-forward at will, which is suitable for a fast-food experience.
Special Announcement: 'The Simulation: Multidimensional Life' has obtained the copyrights of many excellent literary and artistic works within the interstellar range. Players can choose to enter the world of these works, experience the plot immersively or detachedly, become a part of the story, or change the direction of the story.
The system's voice continued to explain with a hint of pride:
“These works include but are not limited to classic novels, popular film and television series, legendary animations and historical stage plays. You can retreat and choose to experience them alone in single-player mode, or you can choose online mode to interpret the infinite possibilities of these worlds with other players.”
A new menu appeared on the player's screen, labeled "Experience the World of Literary Works." She clicked on it and saw a dazzling list of works unfold before her:
"Life is Like a Dream" - an ancient stage play, a tragic general and the fleeting past;
"Sunless Sea" - A lonely journey in the deep sea, a faint light in the darkness guides the unknown future;
The Legend of Igor - On the snow-covered land, the hero's footprints have not been buried by time;
"Xingcha Zhiyi" - a collection of strange stories and legends, where fragments of the history of the immortal ship are pieced together to reveal the unsolved truth;
"Gray Domain Dream" - Lost consciousness, between reality and illusion, step by step.
…
There was a brief introduction next to each work, and the system voice proudly continued to explain:
"In 'Galaxy Explorers', you can become a space captain and explore unknown galaxies; in 'Interstellar Dream Stealer', you will play a dream stalker and solve multi-layered dream puzzles; and 'Virtual Knights' will let you become the guardian of the digital world and fight against invading rift monsters."
The player raised his lips and said, "This setting is quite interesting. It's like a carnival party in a literary work."
She pondered in her mind, "I can follow the classic plot while also being able to play freely. Can I just kill those villains and end it early?"
The system seemed to have heard her thoughts and continued to explain:
“In these worlds, you can choose to follow the original plot or try to change history and explore new endings. Each choice will affect your fate in the world of the work, and these experience points will be counted towards your overall evaluation in ‘The Simulation: Multidimensional Life’.”
Players said: "Does the overall game rating have any impact?"
The system interface flickered slightly, and then a new set of titles emerged, simple yet full of meaning:
lv1——The prologue of the journey, destiny begins from now on.
Level 2 - Leave your mark on the universe.
Level 3 - The light shines brightly, influencing the direction of every story.
Level 4 - Forge an immortal legend among the stars.
lv5——Reach the top of the starry sea and become the symbol of supremacy.
The system said enthusiastically: "These titles are not only symbols of honor! They are also a testimony to your journey across the starry sea and writing legends in 'The Sim: Multidimensional Life'!"
Player: "Speak human language."
"Okay." The system quickly brought up the interface and said, "
Lv1
Initial advantages: initial points, backpack, and currency increase.
Resource optimization: The refresh rate of blessings, equations, and rare items is increased.
Lv2
Cross-world carry: Items and some blessings can be carried across worlds.
Initial advantages: points, backpacks, and currency further increase.
Lv3

Initial advantages: points, backpacks, and currency increase.
Lv4

Level 5
Total freedom.

The player chewed on the last word: "Freedom?"
The system repeated: "Freedom."
The player raised an eyebrow.
The system coughed, and its voice sounded again, with a hint of unfathomable meaning:
“In ‘Simulation: Multidimensional Life,’ some works are deeply connected. They are not isolated stories, but intertwined with each other to form a grand ‘literary multiverse.’”
The system further explains the details of the experience:
"You can choose an immersive experience, completely immersing yourself in the world of the game, feeling every emotional ups and downs of the characters and the development of the story, without being able to save or exit at will, experiencing the reality of a lifetime. Alternatively, choose a free-flowing experience, retaining some control, with the ability to save and load at any time, and even fast-forward specific scenes, which is suitable for players who prefer casual entertainment."
After the player selects the **"Immersive Experience" option, the system's voice becomes cold and mechanical.
[Warning: This immersive experience is completely life-altering and cannot be exited. Are you sure you want to choose?]
The player smiled and clicked the "Confirm" button without hesitation.
The system's voice then became gentle and soft, like a gentle breeze brushing past your ears:
[Immersive experience mode has been activated. Next, you will embark on a complete and authentic journey of life. Before you begin, would you like to choose a specific literary world? Classics, fantasy, science fiction, romance... Each one has unique scenery and stories.]
The player stretched his muscles, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's just be random. The unknown is more interesting."
The system paused slightly, then responded with a gentle smile in its tone:
[Understood. Random world loading. Have a pleasant journey.]
In an instant, the world around her became illusory, and the vast starry sky was getting closer and closer to her.
She heard the system's voice still insistently saying:
“You’re about to enter a brand new world, and your consciousness will be divided into two parts: one part is completely immersed in the identity of the character, feeling their emotions, and truly becoming a part of this world; the other part serves as an ‘anchor’, preserving your self-awareness and ensuring that you can return to reality at any time.”
The player's vision began to blur, as if shrouded in a thin mist. The system continued to explain:
“The anchor will act as your guardian, keeping your original consciousness connected to the game system while you are fully immersed. When the game ends, the anchor will guide you back to the real world.”
The player felt their body being gently lifted up, gradually merging into the starlight. The surrounding light spread out like ripples on the water, gentle and peaceful. The system's final notification sounded in their ears:
Welcome to The Simulator: Multidimensional Life. The immersive experience mode is ready, and we wish you all the best in your new journey.
---
"The countdown begins: 5, 4, 3..."
The player felt a strong suction, as if she were being torn apart by an invisible force. Her consciousness gradually blurred, but she could still feel a part of herself staring at her from a distance, as if protecting her. As the system countdown ended, the player's perspective instantly changed.
In the next second, her consciousness was completely drawn into a new world. Memories slipped away like grains of sand in an hourglass, and she gradually forgot she was a player, forgot the existence of the Interstellar Peace Company, and even forgot that this was a game.
Her vision began to clear, and a whole new identity and environment quickly flooded into her mind.
