Can one truly transmigrate after death?
At first, Zhao Baiyou did not believe it. As a materialist raised in the new century, he had always firmly believed that death was the end—that nothing remained afterward. How could something like transmigration possibly exist?
Although the influence of web novels had made transmigration a common trope for protagonists, leading to the illusion that death might just be the beginning of a journey, Zhao Baiyou had never harbored such delusions.
Yet now, Zhao Baiyou was plunged into distress, because... he seemed to have actually transmigrated!
He clearly remembered lying on his bed, waiting for the update in Honkai Impact 3rd. He had waited months for the Herrscher of the Void banner to return, and it had finally started.
After finally waiting for the update to finish... he had dumped thirty thousand Crystals into it, and only then managed to pull the Herrscher...
And then... then he had appeared here!
Before Zhao Baiyou lay an unfamiliar forest, a space and time completely different from his own world.
That wasn't the main issue. Transmigration was fine—it was a good thing, really.
But that was for other people. Zhao Baiyou did not want to transmigrate, because he had a cute younger sister who insisted on marrying no one but him.
What did it mean to have a cute, brother-complex sister?
Was he living in some sort of anime plot?
With such a wonderful start to life, why did he have to transmigrate?
And furthermore...
"Dammit!"
Zhao Baiyou took a deep breath and cursed in frustration, but the voice that came out was no longer the gentle, older-brother tone he was used to. Instead, it was a melodious, girlish voice.
That was right! Zhao Baiyou hadn't just transmigrated; he had turned into one of the game characters he spent every day grinding for.
Flame Sakitama, Yae Sakura...
His appearance, his attire, his weapon—he was identical to Flame Sakitama.
Zhao Baiyou didn't know why he had transmigrated, nor why he had become Flame Sakitama, but he was currently incredibly agitated.
He was still a virgin! And now he had turned into a girl...
Even if this girl was Yae Sakura, the one he called "wife" every single day.
But that didn't mean he wanted to become Yae Sakura! He still had a super cute sister waiting for him!
He had been a winner in life, so why turn into a girl?
Zhao Baiyou felt miserable...
I don't want to be a Valkyrie!
However, after feeling miserable for a while, Zhao Baiyou realized there was no way to change back.
Following the information in his mind, Zhao Baiyou focused his intent, and a translucent panel—much like the one in the game—appeared before him.
It was similar to the main interface of Honkai Impact 3rd, yet there were many differences.
The "bridge" character on the panel was Flame Sakitama, no longer his Kiana...
Then... there were only four options: [Valkyrie], [Inventory], [Quest], and [Friends].
Opening [Valkyrie], he found that all the Valkyries were grayed out, except for Flame Sakitama, which was in full color.
Moreover... it was exactly the same as the interface of his game account. It seemed he had brought his account with him.
Zhao Baiyou tapped on Flame Sakitama and discovered... it really was his account.
An SSS-rank Flame Sakitama...
Weapon—Cherry Blossom Blizzard, Stigmata—Czar Set.
This was great; he was maxed out from the start!
Although he didn't know what kind of world this was, it should be enough to protect himself!
Subsequently, Zhao Baiyou opened the [Inventory]... and found it packed with weapons, Stigmata, items, and Gold... everything was there.
Had he transmigrated while carrying his account?
Looking at the Gold in his inventory, it wasn't much... just one hundred million.
But his skills and equipment were already fully upgraded!
Then, the [Quest] section...
There was only one main quest.
[Main Quest—Become a Renowned Shrine Maiden]
"A shrine maiden? A renowned shrine maiden? If I become a renowned shrine maiden, can I change back? I don't want to be a Valkyrie; I just want to be a Captain who cleans up the ship!" Zhao Baiyou pleaded with a grievance-filled heart.
However... the system seemed very rigid and gave no response at all.
"Sigh..."
With a sigh, Zhao Baiyou continued to open the quest details.
[World: Inuyasha]
[Main Quest—Become a Renowned Shrine Maiden]
[Quest Reward: Crystals +100, Unlock next main quest.]
"Huh? The world of Inuyasha? And there are Crystal rewards? Can Crystals still be used after transmigrating?" Zhao Baiyou was curious. He checked his interface; not a single Crystal had arrived. He clearly had a dozen or so left after pulling for the Herrscher.
He had been scammed!
But what would he need Crystals for now?
[Crystals are the only item used to unlock the next world. 2,400 Crystals are required to unlock the next world.]
Just as Zhao Baiyou was confused, a sentence suddenly appeared before him.
"Unlock the next world? Can I go back?" Zhao Baiyou thought of his younger sister, Zhao Baiyu, who was two years his junior and insisted on marrying no one but him. What if he was gone for too long and she was snatched away by someone else?
That would be a massive loss!
Then... faced with this question, the system went silent again.
However... this was actually the world of Inuyasha. In this world of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, could he really find his footing?
Zhao Baiyou gripped the Cherry Blossom Blizzard katana at his waist and closed his eyes. Countless skills and sword techniques flashed through his mind...
"It seems... I was worrying too much."
Opening his eyes, Zhao Baiyou gave a self-deprecating chuckle. He had actually mastered every skill and sword technique of Flame Sakitama.
And... Zhao Baiyou picked up the beautiful katana at his waist. It was a beautiful blade, looking almost like a toy.
Spirit Blade, Cherry Blossom Blizzard!
He gripped the scabbard with his left hand, grabbed the hilt with his right, and gave it a gentle draw...
The pink blade left the sheath, and the entire sword radiated powerful spiritual energy.
"What a fine blade!" Feeling the potent spiritual energy flowing from the spirit blade into him, Zhao Baiyou couldn't help but stroke the blade...
"Then... let's try out Little Ya's sword techniques!"
Falling Cherry Blossom Slash!
In an instant, he unleashed five slashes. Five sword auras materialized like cherry blossoms, cutting toward the front...
The dozen or so towering trees ahead, too thick for one person to wrap their arms around, were instantly severed and began to topple, giving Zhao Baiyou a huge fright.
"Just a few casual slashes... is the power really this great?" Zhao Baiyou looked at his hands in shock. This was completely different from how it appeared in the game.
In the game, no matter how strong you were, you couldn't really feel it.
"It seems... becoming a renowned shrine maiden is only a matter of time! It's just that..."
Zhao Baiyou touched the fox ears on his head that looked like rabbit ears. Was he... a demon or a human now?
Or, perhaps... a half-demon, the kind so despised in the world of Inuyasha?
If he were a half-demon, becoming a respected shrine maiden... that would be quite a difficult task!
