Fortunately, whether it was luck or something else, he stumbled upon a corpse, the corpse of a transmigrator, and obtained a system from it!

"New host detected, binding successful. Welcome to the Dimensional Travel System. Shall we start the interdimensional device?"

"Does that even need to be asked?"

"Dimensional Shuttle, activate!"

Volume: Prologue

Prologue One

Where am I?

The sky was dyed red, and the earth was ravaged by constant wars between various races. The air was filled with the scent of war, and gray snow fell from the sky.

Two strangely colored satellites hung in the sky. All signs indicated that this was not the Earth familiar to the young man's memories. The young man stared blankly at the scenery before him, his inorganic eyes darting back and forth.

Standing on this desolate land, everything around him felt so unreal.

Who am I?

I remember now, my name is... Xiu Er.

Why am I here? This isn't Earth... Did I transmigrate?!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Xiu Er finally came back to his senses.

The moment he regained his senses, the young man immediately felt the strangeness of his body, a feeling unlike before.

Subconsciously looking down, he saw his body, completely exposed without any clothing. Apart from some human-like flesh-colored skin, there were mechanical traces all over his body. From under his armpits, the internal mechanical structure was clearly visible.

"I, this is..."

He spoke subconsciously in shock, but despite feeling extremely panicked internally, the words that came out were unusually calm.

At this moment, Xiu Er didn't know what his appearance had become. As he lowered his head, his blue-purple hair, hanging down due to gravity, appeared in his field of vision.

There were mechanical wings on his back with unknown functions, and unknown mechanical creations on his head.

Touching the mechanical device on the side of his face, Xiu Er finally realized that he was no longer human.

However, before he could start to despair, an explosion sounded from not too far away.

It startled Xiu Er, who was lost in self-doubt about not being human.

He abruptly raised his head, his pupils, like camera lenses, contracted. He saw the scene in the distance: unknown spaceships were flying in the sky, and they were continuously attacking the forest below.

At this rate, they would soon reach him. Not good! The instincts of his human past remained, urging Xiu Er to quickly leave this place of turmoil.

Compared to becoming non-human, his life was more important.

Valuing his life, Xiu Er no longer dwelled on the matter and immediately fled in the direction away from the fleet.

Xiu Er didn't pay attention to how long he ran.

After all, he only stopped when he was sure he couldn't see those guys anymore.

At some point, Xiu Er had already arrived in a forest.

But it didn't matter, as long as he was far away from that place of turmoil.

Having escaped the danger, Xiu Er's tense emotions subsided.

Then, he awkwardly realized.

He seemed to be lost.

But since he was already lost, rushing wouldn't help.

With no other choice, Xiu Er finally stopped by a small stream.

"Speaking of which, although I know I transmigrated and became a robot, I still don't know what I look like now."

There was a small stream nearby, so at least he could see what he looked like now.

'I shouldn't look scary, right?'

When he touched his face earlier, Xiu Er only knew that there were mechanical parts on his face. Although his face felt hard, being a robot, the shape of his face at least seemed close to a human's.

Mentally prepared, Xiu Er approached the water, and his appearance finally surfaced.

Floor-length blue-purple hair dangled casually on his body. A pair of golden, inorganic eyes stared intently at the reflection in the water. A face resembling a three-no girl appeared in Xiu Er's vision.

A face as beautiful as a doll's, apart from the non-human mechanical structure, it was definitely Xiu Er's favorite type from before.

The two tube-like appendages on his back swayed restlessly, along with the prototype processor located on the sides of his head, and the triangular mechanical components situated where ears would be.

"Hah."

"Looks like I've arrived in the world of Game Life Zero." Game Peripheral

To become a Mecha-Kai species in this hellish instance, it was impossible not to feel down.

Xiu Er sighed in pain.

After getting a clear look at his own appearance, Xiu Er confirmed his situation.

Game Life Zero, an anime from Xiu Er's world before his transmigration, and he had transmigrated into one of its races—the Mecha-Kai species.

As for why he was certain it was Game Life Zero, it was because this environment was absolutely not from the main story, but definitely from the movie's plot.

In the original setting, the Mecha-Kai species possessed bug-level abilities, capable of analyzing and replicating enemy attacks.

This ability caused other species to default to not provoking the Mecha-Kai species. As long as you didn't attack them, they wouldn't attack you. However, once you launched an attack on one Mecha-Kai, you would attract the hatred of all Mecha-Kai.

But Xiu Er's current state...

"So, I've become an outcast Mecha-Kai, then."

According to his memories, the heroine of Game Life Zero was also a Mecha-Kai, one who was kicked out of the group chat for seeking "heart." Her name was later taken as Shubie.

"Then what about me?"

The moment he posed the question, data streams began to appear in Xiu Er's mechanical eyes. Game Peripheral

Tsk, no record, how strange.

"However, from another perspective, I'm also a Mecha-Kai with a 'heart,' aren't I?"

Although he had become a Mecha-Kai, his way of speaking, personality, and memories were still his own.

Just on this point alone, it was the only silver lining in his misfortune.

Currently, Xiu Er was unaware of how far the plot had progressed, but to survive, he had to start struggling.

But what should he do?

Find the protagonist?

Indeed, if he could find the original male protagonist, Riku, he might be able to blend into his tribe and wait for the plot to end.

However, not to mention that searching for such a human in this world was like finding a needle in a haystack, and humans were doing their utmost to avoid other species. Moreover, Xiu Er couldn't confirm if the human he found would happen to be Riku.

Besides, if he wanted to hide until the plot ended, he didn't necessarily have to find the protagonist.

So what should he do? He had already checked his armament. Besides the functions that the Mecha-Kai species inherently possessed and some functions he had developed himself, he didn't have anything from other species. Things like Pseudo Canon: Yan Long Xiao and those of the Forest Spirit species were all missing.

The current Xiu Er was equivalent to a blank slate with only the Mecha-Kai's self-developed armament. He rubbed his chin, the data streams in his eyes continuously calculating. Various methods indicated that lying low until the end was the optimal choice.

Although he was a combat-type model with relatively stronger combat power, he lacked any replicated armament. Furthermore, as a single, isolated Mecha-Kai at this moment, surviving in this world was exceptionally difficult. Just as he was about to make up his mind, a disturbance came from a certain direction.

"Hah! Let's see where you run!"

Pfft—Sizzle!

"Ahhh!!!!!" Along with a person's heart-wrenching scream, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh reached Xiu Er's ears.

?

Xiu Er looked in the direction of the sound. He felt a massive, unknown energy there, attracting him...

Prologue Two

When Xiu Er arrived, all he saw was a human corpse.

The beastmen who had killed this person were still standing there. They hadn't fled.

Whether it was bravery or overwhelming fear, upon seeing Xiu Er and recognizing him as a Mecha-Kai, the three of them simultaneously stopped their actions.

They probably assumed that as long as they didn't attack Xiu Er, he wouldn't attack them.

Were they unwilling to abandon this food?

Humans were on the beastmen's menu. In this desolate land, no species paid any attention to humans; some didn't even know of the existence of humans.

Humans had no affinity with spirits and thus could not use any magic. In this world, humans were the weakest species. There wasn't even a term for "human." Most other species basically didn't know such creatures existed.

And above humans were the beastmen.

Ignoring the frightened three beastmen, Xiu Er walked directly to the corpse.

Staring at the corpse, data streams suddenly flowed through his eyes.

Hmm?

There was something inside this person?

In Xiu Er's eyes, there was a vast, unknown energy within this corpse.

Curiosity arising in his heart, Xiu Er crouched down, moving closer to the corpse.

This action startled the few beastmen beside him. They began to whisper to each other, as if discussing something.

"Det...ect...ing... host death... Rec...overy..."

Intermittent sounds reached Xiu Er's mind, and at that moment, he seemed to understand something.

Could this be a Transmigrator, the kind with a system?

Looking at the modern clothing on the corpse, Xiu Er was absolutely certain of his guess. The humans of this world would definitely not wear such attire.

A bold idea appeared in Xiu Er's mind.

But the situation was a bit urgent now. Based on the information he had just heard.

After this Transmigrator died, the system might be automatically recalled.

Time was short, and there were no extra thoughts. According to his calculations, he already knew the location of the system. He immediately raised his small hand, and then...

Pfft—

Xiu Er's hand plunged directly into the corpse.

Got it!

As Xiu Er withdrew his small hand, in his eyes, a glowing spherical object was being tightly held by him.

But to outsiders, what Xiu Er held in his hand was the corpse's heart!

The beastmen began to look confused.

Why would this Mecha-Kai species take out the corpse's heart?

However, no one could answer them, nor did they particularly want to know the answer.

They only knew that the Mecha-Kai species wanted this corpse.

In that case, there was nothing they could do.
