The Sims System in Multiverse

In a game company in D city, the whole office was quiet.

Sitting in front of his computer, software engineer Nangong Yan's hands were constantly moving.

As a software engineer in the game industry, working overtime was nothing out of the ordinary. As for why it was so quiet, it was because all the programmers except him were already asleep on the floor.

The game the company was currently working on was a multiplayer online simulation game, essentially a life simulation where players could choose their own path in the virtual world, in short, it's a Sims Game.

The game was in its final stages, and Nangong Yan was doing the last round of testing. As long as there were no major bugs, the game could be handed over to the client for approval.

What if there were bugs after the approval?

Well... that would mean updating the version, of course!

"Ah... yawn..." Nangong Yan let out a big yawn. His tired face was illuminated by the computer screen in the dimly lit room.

"I really don't know why the client wanted this kind of project," Nangong Yan murmured to himself.

"Is there still a market for this kind of game like simulation?"

If it was the early days of online gaming, simulation games would have been popular, but after more than a decade of rapid development in the online gaming industry, various types of online games had emerged, and the game plan for a life simulator left Nangong Yan feeling puzzled.

"Whatever, why bother thinking so much."

Nangong Yan rubbed his hair and thought helplessly, "I just need to complete my own tasks. The rest is up to the players."

After stretching his body, Nangong Yan continued the final testing of the life simulation game.

One hour later.

"Finally, it's done."

Completely collapsed in his chair, Nangong Yan breathed a sigh of relief. His stubbly face was filled with a sense of release.

Standing up and stretching his lazy body, Nangong Yan looked around at the "dead bodies" on the floor and smiled lightly, "Okay, homework's turned in."

He uploaded the packaged game files to the client.

"Of course, there might still be some bugs, but let the players find them out!" Nangong Yan chuckled as he imagined how the players would jump and curse.

Finally, he could sleep!

He pulled out his sleeping bag, feeling more and more sleepy, he forced himself to stay awake and then crawled inside.

"This time... I..."

He murmured, half-awake and half-asleep.

"I'm going to sleep for two days and two nights..."

===

"Huh... huh...?"

"Wait a minute, did I really sleep for two days and two nights and no one woke me up?"

Squinting his eyes, Nangong Yan murmured, feeling more alert.

"Hmm? Why does it feel like something's not right?"

"..."

"!!!"

Suddenly sitting up, Nangong Yan was shocked!

He stared at the unfamiliar ceiling and room with wide eyes, and his consciousness instantly became clear!

At this moment, Nangong Yan was lying on a bed in an unfamiliar room. The sleeping bag was nowhere to be seen, and a checkered patterned quilt covered him. The light blue curtains swayed with the wind, and there was an unknown succulent plant in a pot on the windowsill.

Next to the bed was a wardrobe, and there was a desk and chair opposite, with an expensive-looking computer on the desk.

These were all quite simple, but anyone who saw the room would immediately think, "Ah...this is an otaku's room."

The walls were covered in anime character wallpapers that Nangong Yan didn't recognize, and the shelf in the corner was filled with exquisite figurines. The adjacent bookshelf was filled with books, although he didn't know their titles, they were probably manga and novels.

"Could it be that someone brought me here?" Nangong Yan thought to himself, suddenly feeling dizzy as his mind flashed with many unfamiliar images.

It took a while for him to come back to his senses, and as he recalled the images in his mind, Nangong Yan was somewhat shocked.

He muttered to himself, "Could this be the legendary transmigration?"

He had suddenly transmigrated after waking up from a nap, and Nangong Yan was feeling a bit confused.

He got up and washed his face in the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and touched it with his hand, then touched his own face, exclaiming, "I really did transmigrate! Not only did my body the same, but my age also regressed! It even came with a new identity and memories! This face is indeed much younger now but only my name is different. So... my name in this world is Minamiya Homura huh? Isn't this just my name in Chinese when pronounced in a Japanese Kanji?

After gazing at himself in the mirror for a while, he then sighed.

"...Hahh, it doesn't matter, I'm alone after all, there is nothing important there, and I bet no one would have missed me anyway."

After a self-deprecating smile; Nangong Yan, no, Minamiya Homura calmed down.

He had experienced too much of the warmth and coldness of human nature in his past life, and he could quickly adjust himself.

Returning to his room, Homura turned on his computer and waited for it to start up while reminiscing about his memories as a newborn.

"Speaking of which, It's shocking enough to have transmigrated, and this beginning is also very dreamlike!"

Homura had already been shocked enough in this short period of time, but besides his shock and astonishment; he couldn't help but voice his complaints, "Having a stepsister, our parents remarried, and they were also very busy and rarely at home, plus my Minamiya Family's strength is also not ordinary! What a cliche beginning!"

Homura already knows that his identity is not a fabrication, but there was also someone in this world with the same identity, who unfortunately died suddenly from staying up too late. Not only did Homura integrate the residual spiritual power left behind, but he also absorbed the life force from the new body, causing it to vanish into nothingness. Despite gaining benefits from this, Homura could only mourn for the person who may have been himself from a parallel world.

"The fact that this world's parents are frequently absent is really helpful. Otherwise, as someone who is used to being alone, I really wouldn't know how to get along with them." Homura was sighing to himself but then noticed that the computer had already started up, so he quickly began to look up information about this new world.

This was inevitable, even though he had just received his memories, it was still only a rough idea, and he wanted to check it out himself to see the differences with his past life.

After taking a quick look at the desktop programs, although the icons and names were a bit different, he could still see familiar shadows.

QQ... sure enough, even in a parallel world, my beloved QQ is still here! {TN: China's popular messaging app by tencent}

He went straight to the browser and checked the search engine, and found Qianxun... okay. {TN: One of the major search engines in China, also known as Sogou in English}

This computer, which looked expensive, was indeed fast. Homura began to search for information about this world.

The new world was generally similar to Homura's past life, with various fields being highly developed, but there were also differences, such as in history.

In this world, the country of Huaxia has become the strongest nation on Earth in terms of military and technological advancements. Additionally, due to the world being very peaceful, people's pursuit of entertainment has greatly increased. The development of various fields such as novels, animation, games, movies, and music has been quite remarkable. {TN: Huaxia refers to an ancient cultural region in China that includes the areas that are now modern-day China and the majority of Asia}

Furthermore, some of the works and celebrities from his past life exist in this world as well.

Of course, there were also many works that didn't exist here. Homura was a little curious, but he decided to put it aside and look for other things.

"By the way, after searching for so long, where am I now?"

Checking his geographical location, Homura became curious.

"Penglai Province? Where was that? Since my name is in Japanese... could it be Japan from my past life?"

Upon further investigation, he confirmed that this was indeed the case, and Homura paused his scrolling.

"Well...since we are in Penglai and there were still many works that hadn't been brought to this world, then it was decided. Let's promote cultural exchange with this world!" {TN: It seems like Japan named Penglai here.}

Excited about his decision, Homura thought to himself, 'People of this Earth, experience the charm of ACGN culture from my Earth!' {ACGN: Anime, Comics, Games, Novels}

After a brief moment of calm, he became excited once again.

Homura made a firm resolution to become a master of the ACGN industry and bring about new changes to this world!

"Huh? What's this?" Homura noticed a strange object in the corner of his field of vision.
