The story began in an unremarkable high school… Every day was the same, attending classes, doing P.E. drills, and even the infrequent P.E. classes were often taken over by Chinese, Math, and English teachers due to the P.E. teacher's various sick leaves…
Every night after evening study hall, Chen Yue would return to the dormitory, take a shower, log into Genshin Impact to use up his stamina, browse Douyin, and thus, this long day would pass uneventfully.
Lately, Chen Yue had become addicted to transmigration novels.
He'd read about characters transmigrating into various anime and game worlds, gaining cheat systems, stepping on the original protagonists, and rescuing damsels in distress.
Even though he knew it was all fake, he couldn't help but fantasize about gaining a cheat system himself, shedding his ordinary life, and reaching the pinnacle of existence…
“Hmm… the next plot is indeed the protagonist brutally oppressing the original protagonist… Although novels where one gains a system and becomes an OP protagonist are almost always the same trope… I just can't get enough of it ๑乛v乛๑”
“Alas~ If only the things in novels could happen to me, even if I were just a protagonist written by an author right now ╮(￣⊿￣)╭”
“I really wish I could transmigrate into Genshin Impact and meet those characters from the game~”
“Today is the last day for Hu Tao's rerun, and I still got Qiqi… so frustrating x﹏x”
After the lights went out, Chen Yue lay in bed, depressed, wishing to sleep away all his troubles, completely unaware that his life would undergo a seismic change tomorrow…
After a night…
“Mmm~” After waking up and stretching, Chen Yue suddenly felt something was not quite right…
“Huh? Where did my blanket go?”
He opened his eyes, which were still narrowed to slits, and everything before him stunned him into silence.
“Wh-wh-what is this? Where am I? Why am I lying on the beach? Am I still dreaming? (°Д°)”
With that, Chen Yue quickly pinched his own cheek hard…
“Ouch—?! It hurts! It's not a dream?!”
“I… transmigrated?! Huh? My clothes have changed? These clothes look a bit familiar…”
“Wait… aren’t these Lumine's clothes?! Why am I wearing them?!”
“And what’s wrong with my voice? Did I transmigrate into Genshin Impact and become Lumine?! Wait, wait, let me sort this out… Σ(っ°Д°;)っ”
Just as Chen Yue was processing his transmigration into the game, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
“Hey~ Can you hear me? Can you hear me?”
“Huh? Where’s that voice coming from? Who are you? Why can’t I see you?”
“Me? Hmm… in your impression, aren’t I usually called something like a system? As for why you can’t see me… it’s quite normal for systems to not have bodies, right?”
“That’s true… By the way, is it only me who can hear you speak?”
“The host guessed correctly. Not only can the host hear me, but only the host can see me too.”
“Actually, if this system wanted to, I could create a body for myself to interact with the host.”
“Oh? You can create a body for yourself?”
“Of course. As long as I imagine the anime girls or cats and dogs you like, I can create them. However, this system generally prefers to stay within the host’s consciousness most of the time. After all, who would want to walk when they can lie down~”
“That sounds amazing… Wait… does that mean you’re the one who turned me into Lumine?!”
“That’s right. Don’t you like it, host? I transformed you based on the character you chose in the game.”
“Uh… that… could you change me to Aether instead? Although I really like Lumine, suddenly becoming a girl is hard to accept at first (இwஇ).”
“It’s too late now. The plot has already begun. Aether is already the Prince of the Abyss, so host, please accept this reality.”
“However, please rest assured, after becoming a girl, the host’s personality, habits, sexual orientation, etc., will also gradually feminize. It’s just a matter of time~”
“What?! Are you kidding me! My sexual orientation will never change! You system, get lost!”
“The host doesn't want to? Hmm… then how about changing the sexual orientation to ‘I want them all’~”
“You… forget it. Let’s change the topic… What kind of cheat system are you? Sign-in? Gacha? Choice?”
“Uh… that~ This system doesn’t have those powerful enhancements you’re thinking of, nor does it have things like sign-in rewards for strength or speed~”
“e
“Heh heh~ No need to praise this system, I’ll get shy~”
“Oh, then please open the beginner’s gift pack for me.”
“You really aren’t going to praise me, host!”
“Is there a problem?”
“No… you win… [Ding Dong], your 160 Primogems have arrived~”
“Wow, all of it was just talk… So that’s it?”
“Yes.”
“Wow! Did you learn this stinginess from miHoYo? Giving me only 160 Primogems is like telling me to gamble myself?!”
“Host, you must believe in yourself~”
“Just one intertwined fate, I believe your grandma’s leg! Damn it… you’re holding a personal grudge… Hurry up and draw!”
After Ying finished speaking, an interface identical to the game appeared in her mind, followed by a blue meteor streaking rapidly across the screen…
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Silver Sword~”
“Erm… so how should I comfort myself, at least I have a weapon now?”
“So smart. If the host had drawn a Catalyst, you wouldn’t have been able to use it~”
“Then why did you put it in the pool?”
“To take up space and reduce the host’s chance of drawing good items~”
“I’m going to…!”
“I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to die of anger (;ᯅ;)”
“Heh heh~”
“Alas… So what should I do now? Should I go find Lumine?”
“Host, you can do whatever you want next. The system will not interfere with you.”
“However, the system suggests that the host practice on those Slimes in the distance first. Otherwise, if you encounter any slightly stronger creatures, the host might not see the sun tomorrow~”
“Who do you think I am? I’m in Lumine’s body, how could I be bullied so easily?”
“Um, I only transformed the host into the protagonist’s appearance. The physical quality is still the host’s own. Moreover, due to becoming a girl, it has weakened considerably…”
“This… so if I want to become strong, I need to kill monsters and level up like in the game?”
“That’s right. However, this system does not have functions to display life or combat power. It can only let the host feel themselves becoming stronger~”
“Ah, well~ _~”
“Alas… Anyway, I’ll try out the new sword first… No matter how bad I am, just a few Slimes should be a piece of cake…”
