Stigmata - Xiao Yun

"System, what are my chances of successfully wooing her?"

"You've fallen for her? Don't dream about it. She already knows you swallowed a Herrscher Core. You want to woo her? You're lucky if she doesn't run you through. Given that you had a decent performance on your first day in this world, I'll tell you: you have less than a 10% chance."

"Why? Is it because of Kallen Kaslana?"

"Who else could it be? Let me tell you, that white-haired twin-tailed girl you just met is from the Kaslana family."

"Then, System, are there any other young ladies among the Herrschers? Preferably ones with good personalities, who don't resort to violence at the drop of a hat."

"Yes, the Third Herrscher."

"Besides her? What about the First and Second Herrschers?"

"1. The First Herrscher is male, just like you. 2. The Second Herrscher, Sirin, died in the Second Honkai War. However, Schicksal's bishops implanted Sirin's DNA into that white-haired clone, and Sirin is gradually awakening."

"What do you mean by clone? Is that white-haired twin-tailed girl we saw a clone? Then where is her real self?"

"That's a secret."

He knew the System wouldn't answer that question, so he didn't bother asking further.

The Honkai Energy released by the Herrscher Core had already been contained. Due to Yae Sakura's presence, there were very few Mortals and Honkai Beasts around.

"No, with Yae Sakura here, you won't get any training. Host, don't blame me, I'm going to air-drop a few for you to practice on."

"System, please don't!"

"No use talking, look up!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!" Honkai Beasts, like mosquitoes, flew down. However, these Honkai Beasts were tens of thousands of times larger than mosquitoes, and much faster too!

"Host, your Herrscher Core is of the growth type. I've divided it into many levels. Your current level is Ordinary Mortal. These Rush-class Honkai Beasts are only slightly stronger than you. Including you having Kiana Kaslana and Xiao Yun, it's just right for you to practice."

"Disappear!" Before the young man could move, Yae Sakura behind him had already acted. The moment her katana was drawn from its sheath, sword energy wove into a large net, enveloping the group of Rush-class Honkai Beasts. "Are you alright?"

Before the young man could react, he had already become a spectator. The gap in strength was too disheartening.

"I... I'm fine."

While Yae Sakura wasn't paying attention, the young man had already collected the Honkai Energy dropped by the Honkai Beasts.

"How is she so strong... I'm a Herrscher, yet I probably wouldn't even get a chance to act in front of her." As a Herrscher, he was letting a Simulated Herrscher snatch so many Honkai Beast heads – it was truly heartbreaking.

"She has combat experience, after all. You have neither combat experience nor strength, and you still want to snatch Honkai Beast heads?"

"Are you my holder?" A voice, sounding gentle enough to stir emotions, rang out. It wasn't because the voice was too sweet, but because the killing intent within it was... too obvious!

"Xiao Yun? Don't come out yet. There's a Simulated Herrscher watching me from behind. I'm afraid it might cause some misunderstanding." Who knew how the young man could remain so calm? He was already getting used to it.

"Oh, then I'll just talk to you like this. By the way, what's your name?"

Why are two people asking for my name today... the newly appointed Herrscher almost cried.

"I don't have a name. Since you're not an outsider, I can tell you. I'm a transmigrator, forcibly brought here by this heartless System. He erased my existence in my original world, and no one here knows me, so I don't have a name."

"Host, please don't spout nonsense. This System acts with absolute fairness and conscience. There was an earthquake in the area of your house in your original world, and you were almost dead asleep. If I hadn't saved you, would you still be alive?" The System interjected. Xiao Yun and the young man were in a symbiotic relationship, so naturally, Xiao Yun could hear its voice. But Xiao Yun had woken up due to Honkai Energy, so there was no way she would choose to oppose the System at this moment.

"So your System is Honkai. Indeed, only Honkai has the ability to bring a person to another world. As for your name, leave it to me. Cooperating with Honkai, I never thought of that before." Xiao Yun's Stigmata, which had been glowing, dimmed. The young man knew that Xiao Yun's consciousness had returned.

"By the way, System, where's my text box? Didn't you say I just needed Honkai Energy?"

"The text box only requires 100 Honkai Energy, but since the Host never mentioned it, I didn't activate it."

"How much Honkai Energy do I have left?"

"Due to Xiao Yun's awakening just now, a lot of Honkai Energy was used to preserve the consciousness and power of the Stigmata. Host has 99 Honkai Energy remaining."

...The young man fell into silence, contemplating how much Honkai Energy he would need to kill Honkai Beasts and Mortals to afford this expensive Honkai Energy for the rest of his life. And also, how to get revenge on this System.

"What's wrong?" Yae Sakura, noticing the young man's unusual expression, quickly moved closer, thinking that the Herrscher Core he had just swallowed might be having some adverse reaction.

"It's nothing, I just remembered some things I'd rather not recall."

"What's wrong?"

Although the System didn't explicitly tell the young man what had happened to Yae Sakura, being alone for five hundred years was already a pitiful enough matter. The young man wouldn't ask any more questions about her. Anyway, he still had the Honkai Encyclopedia.

"I'm sorry, I was being nosy..." Clearly, Yae Sakura had noticed the young man's unnatural expression and knew she shouldn't pry.

"Host, please conceal the Honkai Energy aura you emit. Schicksal has detected the massive Honkai Energy outbreak in Changkong City. The Far East Branch has already departed."

"Far East? Then does this world have China?"

"Of course, it does. The countries in this world are almost identical to your original world, with the addition of Honkai, which is a series of things derived from me that cannot be explained by the 'science' of your world."

"System, what does my status panel look like now?"

"Name: None

--Gender: Male

--Level: Ordinary Mortal (Growth potential, highest is Herrscher)

This time, the System didn't hold back, reciting the content in parentheses along with the rest.
