It's simple, because Captain, you possess two systems: Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai: Star Rail. You are both the Captain and the Trailblazer.
However, the Honkai: Star Rail system is not yet activated. It will only become available after you've experienced three worlds. At that time, Captain, you will have a chance to transform into a character from either Honkai Impact 3rd or Honkai: Star Rail in a new world.
Ai-chan didn't hold back, explaining the situation directly to the girl.
In the current world, the girl is acting as the Captain, controlling the Valkyrie "Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart" in battle. However, in the next new world, another random Valkyrie will be unlocked.
Of course, Valkyries that have already been unlocked can appear in other worlds, but with various restrictions and requirements.
Once three Valkyries are unlocked, she will receive a new system AI, Pam.
However, this Pam is not as powerful as the Pam in the game's train; like the current system AI Ai-chan, she is purely a system AI.
After Pam appears, the girl will obtain the new system "Honkai: Star Rail."
Although it's called a new system, it essentially just adds the characters and framework of Honkai: Star Rail. Its functions are similar to the current one.
But compared to the power system of Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai: Star Rail is undoubtedly more powerful and more worth looking forward to.
"This... this is amazing! Not only the Valkyries from Honkai Impact 3rd, but also the power from Star Rail."
After understanding the systems she possessed, the girl was filled with anticipation. The power in Honkai Impact 3rd was already considered very strong, especially the formidable Herrschers and Flame Chasers, who possessed the power to destroy continents or even the world.
And the characters in Honkai: Star Rail even include beings at the level of Aeon Emissaries, with Aeons themselves potentially joining in the future.
Under such immense power, even galaxies and universes could be destroyed repeatedly.
How could this not inspire hope? After all, when facing unknown worlds, the girl harbored a significant fear of insufficient firepower.
Only immense power could provide a sense of security.

And the formidable powers within Honkai: Star Rail undoubtedly provided a strong sense of security.
Captain, don't get too excited too soon. After three worlds, you'll only have a chance to randomly get Star Rail characters. Compared to the characters in Honkai: Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd has a much larger number of Valkyries.
Not to mention, even within Honkai: Star Rail, there are quite a few characters whose combat strength isn't particularly impressive.
Seeing the girl already getting excited about characters from another game, Ai-chan, feeling a bit displeased, interrupted her fantasy.
Although Honkai: Star Rail can only be considered the younger sibling of Honkai Impact 3rd, but...
"Ai-chan, you're right. While I'm excited... that's still something for after three worlds. I should focus on the present."
Snapping back to reality, the girl quickly calmed down. She didn't yet know the situation in each world or how she would travel to a new one.
Thinking about that now was too far ahead.
"So, Ai-chan, what abilities do you have? Do I have the full power of Moonlit Oath right now?"
Looking at the blood moon in the sky, the girl felt her physical condition was better than ever. She knew that due to her work, her health had always been less than ideal, and she often lacked energy in the afternoon.
Much like many fragile university students these days.
Dislocating her jaw from a yawn, fracturing her leg from marching drills, experiencing respiratory alkalosis from getting too excited playing games, drinking a cup of milk tea a day and suddenly experiencing heart palpitations and full-body paralysis at midnight, leading to hospitalization and a diagnosis of potassium deficiency...
While not quite that absurd, it wasn't far off.
In short, she had a lot of minor ailments for someone so young.
But at this moment, the girl felt better than ever, as if she could easily punch a water buffalo to death.
Is this the body of the Moonlit Oath waifu?
So strong!
Of course not, Captain. You should check your character panel yourself!
As soon as Ai-chan's voice finished, a semi-transparent game panel appeared before the girl. Below it was a notification: only the girl could see this; outsiders could not.
Similarly, the system AIs Ai-chan and Pam could only be seen by the girl.
The data panel was very simple, lacking the many functions of the game, with only four options.
They were: [Valkyrie/Character], [Inventory/Warehouse], [Supply], and [Quests].
When the girl excitedly opened the character interface, she found that all the Valkyries she was familiar with were locked. The only one unlocked was "Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart" Theresa.
Furthermore, her level was only 1, and her Valkyrie rank was merely S-rank.
Then, there were no Stigmata, and the weapon was just the equipment that came with the new character...
Chapter 3: High School DxD
"..."
Was she sure she wasn't mistaken?
This was a completely new account! It had nothing.
No, it was worse than a new account. New accounts now came with Valkyries, weapons, Stigmata, and materials.
"Why isn't this my own account? An account with nothing?"
The girl couldn't accept it. Where was her fully geared Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart?
What are you thinking, Captain? If you had everything, how would we play? How would I... cough, in short, you'll have to play from the beginning.
"Besides, you won't need to spend money to play anymore. Characters will be unlocked randomly for free. Isn't that great?"
"In that case, I'd rather just spend money."
Anything that could be solved with money was, in her opinion, better than grinding through missions herself! Though the girl didn't yet know what kind of missions they were.
"Anyway, Captain, keep up the good work! I've also prepared a newcomer's welcome gift for you, stored in the system's inventory. I wish you a more enjoyable playthrough of this world's missions."
With that, Ai-chan, who had appeared before her, vanished instantly. The girl called out to her a few times, but there was no response.
Shaking her head helplessly, the girl could only continue to look at the panel before her. It wasn't quite what she had imagined; there was almost nothing there, and she had to start from scratch.
But since things had come to this, there was nothing else she could do.
Besides, Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart was just the beginning. She already felt countless times stronger than her original self.
If she were to max out her level and Valkyrie rank, and equip her exclusive weapon and Stigmata, just how powerful would she become?
It would definitely be far beyond what was shown in the game.
After all, the game's representation was limited, merely a change in numbers, unable to showcase true strength.
She briefly glanced at the character's stats and then opened the inventory/warehouse. It looked similar to the game, but it was completely empty...
There was only a golden gift package in the first slot.
This was completely different from her own account, which was packed with weapons, materials, and Stigmata. If only she could have brought her own account with her through the transmigration.
Sighing, the girl opened Ai-chan's newcomer gift package.
"Do you wish to open the 'Ai-chan's Newcomer Gift Package'?"
A system prompt, devoid of any emotion, sounded out. It was completely different from Ai-chan's voice earlier; it must have been the system's own voice.
She tapped "Yes," and in the next second, many items appeared in her inventory.
"System Prompt: Congratulations, Captain, for obtaining one Monthly Card."
"System Prompt: Congratulations, Captain, for obtaining ten Precision Supply Cards."
"System Prompt: Congratulations, Captain, for obtaining ten Expansion Supply Cards."
"System Prompt: Congratulations, Captain, for obtaining the Stigmata set 'Hana' - Top, Middle, and Bottom."
"System Prompt: Congratulations, Captain, for obtaining the weapon 'Bloodstained Crimson Casket'."
"This welcome gift seems pretty good?"
Looking at the items obtained from the gift package, the girl felt a bit pleased! It was much more generous than she had expected.
Playing again from the start was fine. With these items, she could quickly gain a certain level of strength. Especially since she got Moonlit Oath's exclusive weapon for free.
It was just that the Stigmata were a bit disappointing. What era was this, that they were still making people use 'Hana'...
Unbelievable...
Fortunately, there were still the Monthly Card and Supply Cards. She hoped she could pull some good items.
A 30-day Monthly Card provided 3100 Crystals, enough for one ten-pull. With 20 Supply Cards, she had a total of 30 chances...
But there was no rush. The girl shifted her gaze to the missions.
That was the key.
She opened the missions...
"Main Mission: Survive in this world for over 10 years and raise the Valkyrie 'Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart' to Lv. 80 / SS rank or higher."
"Mission Reward: 6480 Crystals, 2 million Gold Coins, random Experience Chip materials."
"PS: Newcomer Main Mission, difficulty significantly reduced."
"This world? What kind of world is this?"
Survive for over 10 years?
Could it be that this world was very dangerous?
However, the girl had read other novels where survival usually lasted a few days, or at most a week or a month. She had never seen a requirement starting at 10 years.
How many decades did an ordinary person even live?
But now that she had become a Valkyrie, lifespan was no longer a concern. She possessed countless decades.
This fact made her very happy. Immortality was the ultimate desire pursued by emperors throughout history, and she had achieved it without even realizing it.
Even if she had temporarily become a girl, it wasn't a big deal.
"System detecting, please wait..."
[Detection complete...]
[This world has a 90% probability of being a fan-fiction world derived from "High School DxD".]
"High School DxD..."
This...
Upon learning what kind of world this was, the girl was a bit surprised and couldn't quite process it.
The world of the Dragon Emperor!
If she hadn't become Moonlit Oath, if she were still her original self, this would definitely be one of the worlds one would want to travel to, especially... if she could master its power.
Unfortunately, she had become a girl now, so she couldn't enjoy the benefits of this world at all. She might even become a benefit herself!
Ling Jiu Ling Jiu
No, such a thing absolutely could not be allowed.
Moonlit Oath's wife was hers, and even if she had become Moonlit Oath now... she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
The girl's gaze became incredibly firm. She wouldn't let her current self become someone else's "benefit," even if it cost her life.
However, it wasn't that serious. As long as she didn't interact with that guy, it would be fine, right? The mission didn't require her to go near him anyway.
She just needed to survive for 10 years and raise the level of Moonlit Oath: For Love with Heart!
Alternatively, like the protagonists of other fan-fiction novels, she could snatch the opponent's Sacred Gear before they awakened it.
That one Sacred Gear also piqued the girl's considerable interest.
She just didn't know what time period it was currently...
Recalling the situation of this world, according to her memories... this world not only contained devils, but also angels, fallen angels, various pantheons, and mythical races.
