Boxed World: Sakura Cycle

"Just... a little more..."

"Just... a little more..."

Finally, Feng Chen's hand touched the black box, and his consciousness began to fade.

"Host! Host!"

"Feng Chen! Feng Chen!"

The voices of the System and Xiao Yun were becoming faint.

Am I going to die less than a day after transmigrating... I must be the most pathetic transmigator ever. The armor and the purple lightning on his body disappeared, leaving only two anxious voices in his ears, though he couldn't understand what they were saying.

"Ah!" When he woke up, he saw a blue sky before his eyes. He was lying on a small boat.

A long, grassy embankment, with faint singing drifting everywhere. The water's surface was smooth as glass without wind; the boat moved without him noticing.

"Where... is this?" Could it be that he had transmigrated again?

"System, System?" He called out twice in his mind, but the System didn't respond.

"Miss Xiao Yun?" Xiao Yun didn't respond either, but the Stigmata on his left hand remained.

He opened the map on his left hand and found an item bar had appeared below it.

The System had already automatically decomposed all the useless items, leaving only Ganesha's egg, Judas' Embrace of Blood, Shadow Knight: Moonblade armor data (under repair), a golden cross, and a demonic mask.

The cross could be worn around the neck, while the demonic mask was too small to wear on the face, making it more suitable to be hung on the head.

These two items... should have something to do with my two sets of armor. He hadn't seen these two trinkets before. Although they looked like children's toys, the System placing them here must have some meaning.

He hung the cross around his neck and looked at the surrounding scenery.

He noticed he was approaching a small village and entered it to investigate.

The villagers lived a life of men farming and women weaving, which seemed completely out of place in the 21st century.

"Hey uncle, it's the 21st century, things have opened up, and technology is so advanced, why are you still doing farm work yourself?"

He had said this about 3 or 4 times, but the other party ignored him, as if they couldn't see him.

"Hey, did you hear? They say tonight is the sacrifice presided over by the new Miko."

"Really? I heard the tribute this time is her sister. Tsk, I wonder what she'll do."

"The second daughter of the Yae family was already seriously ill, she definitely can't be cured. This way, it's a kind of release."

Wait, the Yae family?

The conversation between the two behind him quickly caught Feng Chen's attention. Could this Yae family have something to do with Sakura?

He turned around and saw that both of them were wearing fox demon masks.

Then, more and more people appeared, surrounding two little girls.

The two little girls looked very similar; there was no need to guess that they were sisters.

"Sakura, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill her!" the man at the head said. Although he was wearing a fox demon mask, his tone still made Feng Chen very uncomfortable, wanting to go up and punch him a few times.

"I don't want to!" The slightly older girl dropped the knife in her hand and grabbed the other girl's hand.

"Rin, hurry and leave!"

Before they could take a few steps, the girl called Rin fell to the ground. As soon as Sakura helped Rin up, the crowd surrounded them again.

"Didn't you hear what I told you to do? Hurry up and kill her, Yae Sakura!"

Then, the man at the head forcibly shoved the knife into her hand and then used her hand to kill the girl named "Rin," no, named "Yae Rin."

"Sister... become the best Miko... Rin... will bless you..."

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Cries and the sound of rain mingled. Feng Chen knew that this incident would become Yae Sakura's inner demon, until... the person named Kallen Kaslana appeared.

"Detected Host Life Status: Normal. Confirmed Host has received treatment. System restarting."

"System?"

"Yes, and Xiao Yun is here too."

"Where are we now? This is...?"

"This should be the Boxed World: Sakura Cycle, the memory of the current owner of this box, Yae Sakura. However, due to the Herrscher of Erosion, much of the memory has been altered, but this is generally how it was."

"What a pitiful child. She probably can't let go of her sister's death." Xiao Yun was from China. In China, such things were almost impossible. In the eyes of ancient Chinese people, even if there were gods or immortals, they were not something mortals could easily interact with; to put it bluntly, they knew their place.

Time passed quickly, and the young girl from Qingzhi had grown into a beautiful young woman. She rarely spoke, and others could understand her intentions just by looking into her eyes.

One day, a severely injured girl drifted to the village. She had silver hair and blue eyes; she must be a foreigner.

"I..." Having not spoken for a long time, she almost forgot how to speak and secretly practiced by herself, wanting to be able to speak properly before the girl woke up.

There was a box beside the girl. Yae Sakura had no interest in looking at other people's belongings. She only glanced at it when she brought her back and took it for a while.

The medicine was ready, but she was so severely injured and still unconscious. How could she drink the medicine?

Yae Sakura hesitated for a moment, drank the prepared medicine, and then fed it into the girl's mouth.

"You you you you you you you, what are you doing?!" The girl woke up, her first reaction was a face full of red. Although they were both girls, she was still straight at the time, and it wasn't yet the day Yae Sakura would bend her.

"I'm giving you medicine, how else would you drink it when you're unconscious?" Yae Sakura lived in this small village and didn't know much about the outside world, nor did she know where the girl's thoughts were going.

"I-I-I can do it myself." She then drank the entire bowl of medicine, her face showing an expression of utter despair.

"So bitter..."

Her reaction made Yae Sakura, who rarely smiled, laugh for the first time. "Good medicine tastes bitter, but it's good for you. You'll be fine after a few more days."

"Oh right, where's my box?" The girl suddenly realized something was missing and asked urgently.

Yae Sakura picked up the black box and handed it to her.

"Is this it?"

"Give it to me quickly!" The girl snatched the box and held it protectively in her arms.

"I'm sorry, I was rude. I shouldn't have touched your things without permission." Yae Sakura stood up and bowed in apology.

The girl wasn't used to such formalities and waved her hand. "It's okay, it's okay. Just don't touch this box. The things inside... are not good for you."

"Warning! Boxed World: Sakura Cycle is about to collapse. Please leave as soon as possible, Host."

"What's going on? How do I leave here?"

"This Boxed World: Sakura Cycle is a dungeon that was unlocked after the Host conquered Yae Sakura. What the Host is seeing now is just the background of the dungeon, but it has exceeded the Host's permission. Also, the Yae Sakura of Changkong City is about to wake up. Go to that small boat by the river and leave this there."

A small cross appeared in Feng Chen's hand again, but it was different from the previous one.

This one felt... familiar, yet dangerous.
