The Devil Knows How I Transmigrated

"System restarting, confirming host... 30%... 60%... 90%... 100%"

"Startup complete, host please confirm identity."

"Name: None - Gender: Male - Abilities: None - Life Status: Near Death - Age: 17 - Title: Male of the Honkai World (Has a peculiar effect when facing powerful enemies)"

"Cough, cough!" The youth crawled out of the ruined house, his body covered in blood, looking terrifying.

"What the hell! It's one thing that my abilities are None, but why is my name None too! And what's with this 'Near Death' status? I feel perfectly fine right now, my body is great!" Finally, he couldn't help but complain to the System. Before the incident, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, claiming to be the System. He had dismissed it as auditory hallucinations from staying up late playing games and reading novels. However, shortly after finishing breakfast, his house suddenly collapsed! The bloodstains on his body were from the injuries sustained during the incident.

"Host, the System does not make mistakes. The reason your name is None is because, in that instant, your existence was erased. No one will remember you. As for the 'Near Death' status... just look behind you."

Before the youth could fully comprehend its words, he noticed a sickly pale-skinned, well-figured young lady behind him. Her white hair obscured her face, and she had long fingernails.

"Miss, why are you here? Can you tell me what happened? And what's with your outfit? Are you perhaps cosplaying?" He bombarded the young lady with three questions, momentarily stunning her. The youth still hadn't grasped the severity of the situation.

At the same time, the System's voice echoed in his mind.

"Newbie Mission: Escape the pursuit of a Mortal --Completion Reward: 10 Standard Supply Drops --Failure Penalty: Host Death"

"What the hell? Mortal? System, quickly tell me, where is this Mortal? I want to get his autograph!"

"Uh... Host, the Mortal is right in front of you. And it's 'Mortal,' not 'Martial.' There's no single person, and the character below isn't 'earth.' This System isn't advanced enough yet; when you grow stronger, missions will have text prompts."

"Aooo!" The Mortal in front of him roared, her ten sharp claws about to sink into the youth's neck (Come read with me, kǒu, fourth tone).

"Ahhhhhhh! Help! System, save me!" The youth shouted as he ran, leaving the Mortal, whose physical abilities surpassed human limits, behind.

"Since this System cannot supply Honkai Energy, then... Host, you can try punching this Mortal. After all, you have your strongest reliance right now." The System's voice seemed to carry a hint of emotion, but the youth interpreted it all as fear of death. After all, if the host died, the System would likely perish too, right?

"What strongest reliance? That title? What's the use of that title!" Since the System hadn't formed a text box for Honkai Energy yet, and it didn't read what was inside parentheses, the youth was unaware of the magical title's function.

"Uh... I actually didn't read the parentheses at the end. Listen carefully," the System's cold voice gave a slight cough, sounding rather comical, "It has a peculiar effect when facing powerful enemies. It's actually already in effect; the Mortal surpassed human limits, yet you managed to shake her off."

The youth touched his smooth chin and said, "I see." He stopped running and faced the approaching Mortal.

Then, he grabbed the Mortal's left hand, spun around, leaned into her embrace, and slammed his right elbow into her abdomen.

The Mortal instantly collapsed on the ground, motionless, leaving behind a few purple crystals.

"Success, Host, this is Honkai Energy." Just as the System was about to congratulate the youth, it saw him kneel down and bow several times towards the Mortal's body.

"I'm sorry, Miss Mortal. I didn't mean to kill you. This was self-defense. If I didn't kill you, you would have killed me. There won't be a sentence, right?" As the saying goes, China has a complete set of laws. For example, there's the "three years minimum, death penalty maximum," and of course, murder is included.

"Host, rest assured, this is a Mortal. They are humans infected and mutated by Honkai Energy, so you won't be sentenced. In this world, Honkai is the enemy of humanity. Livestock infected by Honkai Energy become Honkai Beasts, and humans become Mortals. There are also Herrschers, the messengers of God, which is Honkai. Honkai Energy is one of the main energy sources in this world. If used well, it can be used to create weapons, Stigmata, and so on. It is said that a certain 'green one' even created weapons that could threaten Herrschers. Oh, and the 'green' in 'green one' refers to the color green."

Green one... Heh, truly pitiful for that fellow. However, looking at it this way, this world is quite interesting. It wasn't a wasted transmigration.

"Also, Honkai Energy is more adaptable to females. Males, unless they are special, will all die."

"Am I special then?" The youth asked what seemed like the most foolish question. Didn't the System just help him absorb the Honkai Energy? Shouldn't he have some self-awareness?

"Of course~ Because I am Honkai itself, how could I let Honkai Energy attack my host?"

"Is that so... Wait, what did you say? You are Honkai?!"

"Oh dear, it seems I've startled the host. Don't worry, I am the will of Honkai, and I can control its development. However, I haven't managed the Honkai development in this world for a long time. Why Honkai phenomena are appearing here is not my fault. I'm helping you because I want to see if anyone can unravel the scheme I've already laid out. I've already observed those few youngsters: a Herrscher of Thunder, a clone, and a little girl who doesn't seem to have much impact. That clone is a vessel for my messenger, created by humans coveting the power of God. As for the rest, a Herrscher of Flames from the previous civilization with extremely poor Honkai Energy adaptability, a clone of the strongest S-rank Valkyrie with the genes of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast within her, but in my eyes, they won't amount to much. Oh my, I've said too much; I'll tell you more later."

"I already know about Herrschers, but what is a Valkyrie?" The youth seized on the key point. The System hadn't explained what a Valkyrie was earlier.

"Valkyries are humans who can use Stigmata and Honkai Energy, but they are all modified, hence their short lifespan. As for Stigmata, they are the power left behind by the heroes of this world to fight against Honkai, which is to fight against me. I have to admit, human wisdom is indeed powerful, but human hearts are too complex; wisdom can also be misused."
