In the next period, Max was in a confused and in a muddle headed state.

He lost the ability to think, only being bombarded with a myriad of emotions and feelings, such as anger, pain, hunger, thirst .

Different scenes and voices came and went, although he couldn’t process them.

he even had the illusion that he was crying.

Time passed and three months later max finally realized his current state.

Reborn.

But the brain of a child couldn’t handle the thought process of an adult. He couldn’t actually think normally. One could say he isn’t even self-aware.

the brain of a newborn could only handle instincts, not thoughts.

On the outside, max just acted on instinct, crying, eating, and even laughing like an actual child, however most of the time was spent sleeping.

His new parents, Victor Smith and Jasmine Smith, weren’t worried about him much. After all, the current max, other than sleeping too much, he was a normal child.

The couple had some problems, but just the normal family issues. They still raised their child, doing their best.

3 years later.........

A chubby boy sat next to an open window, gazing at the sunset. He had a dark expression on his face. Although looking adorable, still it’s not the kind of expression a child should be able to show.

Max just got his self-awareness back 10 minutes ago, And The only thought on his mind is how to escape this place.

Max can be many things.

Selfish, greedy, easily angered, cunning, one can call him a straight up villain, but he isn’t a psychopath.

Unlike those protagonists in the novel who can recognize their new parents after reincarnation, and even somehow convince themselves they are actually part of the family.!!!

He couldn’t commit such a heinous crime, after all in this situation he most probably killed the couple’s child, even if he didn’t, he is a 45 years old man who took over their child’s body, although it all happened without his choice, it doesn’t matter, just like a car accident even if it’s really an accident it doesn’t mean you didn’t take someone’s life.

Right now, the least he could do is to leave the couple.

Now the problem is how can he, a 3-year-old kid, run from home?

Sigh... Max felt a strong headache. His brain couldn’t handle so much thinking.

[ding. It’s detected that the host has regained his mental functionality ]

[Soldier, please report your name. ]

Looking at the dark-green, almost black system panel in front of him, max was stunned.

Reacting quickly, max thought of something.

I am Maxwell pip, are you that necklace? Asked max tactfully.

[this is the origin grade training system.]

[pet simulator series ].

Max felt amazed. This should be some sort of equipment to train the soldiers of that civilization responsible for the ruins.

Was it you who saved my life

[ding. protocol rebirth, was launched to save the host’s life ].

Protocol rebirth.. huh? Can this protocol be launched infinitely?

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

[ding, host please be aware, each person can only launch protocol rebirth a limited number of times, as for you host your spirit can no longer handle the process, if launched forcibly there is an 80% chance of losing sanity 11% chance of permanent mental paralysis 8% chance of death 1% chance of success ].

Max felt disappointed. After all, if it works infinitely, doesn’t that mean immortality?

Sigh.... so what can you do? I mean, what’s your capabilities, and what should I call you?

[the host has the freedom to use whatever term you find convenient].

[the pet simulator series, have the ability to send a strand of spirituality to different parallel worlds .

Then Retrieve either skills, memories or items.]

At this point max was completely stunned. He was sure that the civilization that made this thing was technology advanced, but he never thought they were this advanced.

Rebirth. Training in parallel worlds.

No wonder those bastards jumped on me with a full Special Forces Squad. They should’ve figured something out from the texts inside the ruin.

Simulator, can I simulate myself? Asked, maxed with anticipation practically shining in his eyes.

[only pets linked to the host’s spirit can be Simulated].

Fk.! Cursed max, but the bad news didn’t end there.

[ding. It’s detected that the host is in a weak state and cannot form spiritual links with any type of pet.]

[ding. The simulator will seal all functions other than the status window, in till the host is ready to get his first pet]

..

XD... simulator... simulator, are you there...

Fk me sideways. Jumping in anger, he couldn’t help but curse a few times.

He already had a plan to get a cat or something as a pet. Maybe it will help him escape home.

Sigh....

Feeling exhausted,he remembered something

Stat window.

Ding!.

Host: Maxwell pip

Power level: non

Pet number: 0

Skill: non

Talents: [genetic talent origin link. Unawakened]

...

Hmm, I can also see a bunch of other stats like Vitality and strength, but they are all grayed out, most probably because he is too weak.

And I actually have a talent.

focusing on the talent, the text seems to expand.

Origin link: genetic talent unawakened.

You can form a permanent link with a pet and gain part of its abilities and stats.

Note: The gain and number of pets linked depend on the talent level. Your talent can link to one pet and obtain over 95% of its stats and abilities.

Max didn’t know how much a pet can grow through the simulator, but it’s definitely above the supernatural level.

Thinking about gaining super powers, he felt his blood rushing to his brain and fell asleep.

The poor brain of a 3 years old child couldn’t handle the overlord.

....

Tomorrow morning.

Victor and jasmine looked at their son, who seem to change overnight with worry in their eyes.

Hi baby, is something wrong? Tell mommy what happened..

Yah John tells mom and dad,

Did someone bully you, or did the nanny made you sad?.

Max didn’t respond, nor did he recognize his new name, Jhon Smith. He just kept eating his breakfast.

Actually, compared with joining an orphanage or some care house, staying with this couple would make his life at least 10 times easier.

However, he couldn’t do that. The faster he leaves, the faster they can move on and live their lives.

Max can kill people for the slightest amount of benefits, but this level of craziness goes beyond his bottom line.

Family is one of the few things he respected in this life, which made it impossible for him to stay.

The couple looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Okay baby mommy and daddy have to go to work, the nanny will be here soon, you can watch TV and don’t make trouble.

Little John, don’t be sad. okay next week your mother and I will take a break from work, and the three of us will go to play around.

You can just pick where to go.

After the couple coaxed him a bit more, they left.

Max walked to the living room he turned the TV on, sat down, and started thinking about his escape plan.

But at this moment something changed on TV.

Breaking news. A dungeon break was reported in the northern district.

Our journalists are on the way..... The scene changed suddenly.

From a helicopter point of view, Max saw a scene that baffled him.

Green ork looking monsters, riding giant lizards, rushed out from a broken sewer.

The dungeon is B rank. I repeat, the dungeon is suspected to be rank B. The location of the gate seems to be underground, which is why it was undetected.

We received reports that professionals of the B rank and above are on their way.

The scene changed again. A bunch of people rushed over and started fighting with the orks. Some used swords and had astonishing speed, others throw fireballs, and ice spears.

Max had a question mark on his face, dungeons are real ?. races other than humans ?. Super powers.?

Fk this. I am too lazy to deal with this sht, I am going to sleep.

His youthful body needed a lot of sleep.

... Waking up, max found that his food was already prepared, and the supposed nanny was watching TV.

a young girl of 14 or 15 years of age.

max just sat to eat his meal.

The girl seems to just notice max,

Hi little Jhon you woke up.

Max just nodded, eating silently.

Nancy felt weird. This little guy used to be quite cheerful, but she didn’t think much. Maybe he caused some trouble and was yelled at or something.

After eating, Max walked to the couple’s bedroom and took Victor’s laptop.

Connecting to the web, he looked a few things up.

He didn’t go deep, he just need to confirm his safety, and thankfully this area was indeed relatively safe.

Normal people with no superpowers like this family live in a well-protected zone. For the time being, he didn’t check any other news about superpower and dungeons.

Even if he learned, he is just a kid. What will he do with such knowledge?

His worries right now are how to join an orphanage. Being a street kid is a no-go, while other options are out of his league.
