Honkai Simulator: I'm Really not Seele!

"Hah..."

He had unknowingly stumbled upon a truth that was hard to swallow—he was nothing more than deadweight. Lunelle let out a weary sigh, unable to hide his disappointment.

But at that moment, something else had reached completion—Lunelle's voice had undergone a permanent transformation, fully altered by the effects of his talent, [Ethereal Sound].

The moment that clear, otherworldly voice escaped his lips, even Lunelle himself was taken aback.

"Eh? My voice..."

He murmured, listening to the sound reverberating in his ears. The more he heard it, the more he felt an odd sense of familiarity.

As a devoted Seele enthusiast, realization struck him like lightning.

His voice—was eerily similar to that of his first love, Seele. In fact, by rough estimation, it was at least 90% identical...

What?????

The realization sent a shiver down his spine. This—this was no mere coincidence.

But 90% was not 100%.

And as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Now that doubts had crept into his mind, there was only one way to settle them—he had to test it himself, comparing his voice to Seele's iconic lines.

After all, this was his own voice. There was no reason to hesitate, no obstacle preventing him from conducting the experiment.

With that in mind, Lunelle quickly recalled the most classic phrase Seele had ever uttered.

After a brief silence, he made his decision.

It was the defining line. A line etched into the hearts of all Seele fans—a true classic among classics.

He prayed inwardly that his ridiculous suspicion was unfounded.

But as he prepared to utter the line, he consciously tried to make his tone as casual and indifferent as possible.

Yet the moment he opened his mouth, Lunelle had no idea that his entire demeanor would shift, becoming unbelievably soft and gentle.

"Please, other me!"

The instant the words left his lips, he froze, his mind spiraling into chaos.

This—

This was way too similar, wasn't it?!

For any Seele fan, this line was engraved into their very DNA, a phrase that could be recognized instantly, no matter the circumstances.

And in that fleeting moment, as Lunelle uttered the words, he felt a strange sense of detachment, as if he was no longer himself.

The casual, half-hearted approach he had planned had somehow been infused with unintentional layers of emotion and nuance.

Still, it wasn't an absolute match.

His voice, permanently altered by his talent, wasn't just an imitation of Seele's—it possessed a dreamlike, ethereal quality that made it feel almost unreal.

Simply put, his voice wasn't just identical to Seele's—it was even more captivating, more enchanting.

If Bronya heard it, she would definitely blush. If I heard it in real life, I might just act on impulse.

To put it in perspective—if one day, the adorable little angel Seele truly transformed into a celestial being, then perhaps this was the kind of voice she would have.

And for some reason, that thought made Lunelle's mind wander to an amusing scenario.

If he were still in his previous world, he could attend a convention dressed in a Seele cosplay, reenact that classic line, and...

He was at least 90% certain that, just from his voice alone, he could make every Seele fan in attendance experience auditory bliss.

Of course, if he actually did this, things would quickly spiral out of control.

The moment he finished his act and tried to make his escape, he'd likely find himself cornered by a mob of Seele devotees.

And after that...

Well, that would be the part where they "politely" ask what color sack he prefers, right?

Ahem—

But, jokes aside, Lunelle had inadvertently uncovered a startling "conspiracy."

If he were the type to lose his temper easily, he might have immediately called out the simulator's AI and demanded an explanation.

Why had the simulator orchestrated such an elaborate scheme?

It would be a lie to say he wasn't at all frustrated by this discovery.

But frustration manifests in different ways.

Some people, when overwhelmed with rage, might throw themselves headfirst into disaster—like offering themselves up to a tiger, only to be devoured whole.

Lunelle, in his own "extreme anger," simply...

Ate an entire bucket of instant noodles in one sitting and drank all the broth.

Still, he wasn't about to let things slide.

Once he finished eating, he intended to get to the bottom of this with the simulator.

But first things first.

Lunelle set down his empty bowl, locked onto his next target, and with swift, decisive movements...

He burrowed right back into his blanket.

Within three seconds, he was fast asleep.

Well...

Frustration was frustration, and conspiracy was conspiracy...

But life—life had to go on.

At a glance, it seemed like the simulator was incredibly stingy, offering only minuscule improvements with each trial.

But a closer examination painted a different picture.

Take his physical attributes, for example—the weakest of all his stats.

In less than two days, his physical strength had increased by only 0.6 points. A seemingly insignificant number.

But if you converted that into percentage, considering the average physical strength of a normal adult male was around 5 points...

That was a 12% increase.

In under two days.

And that was just from lying around.

Not to mention, aside from his physical strength, he had gained a significant boost to his charm and an abnormally high level of Honkai adaptability, far exceeding the average man in the Honkai universe.

In truth, his growth speed wasn't slow at all.

If he could maintain this momentum, he might even reach the point where he could directly participate in the god-level battles that would unfold in the later stages of the Honkai storyline.

However, time was not on his side. He didn't have the luxury of leisurely building his strength.

He was painfully aware of this fact, which was why he seized every moment of rest, ensuring he was always in peak condition.

And there was still so much he needed to test within the simulator.

Even if each simulation lasted less than three seconds.
