Destruction's Dimensional Codex

The Dimensional Codex of Destruction

By: Treading Snow

Synopsis:

Qin Mo had transmigrated.

Good news: He had no lingering attachments or concerns about his previous world.

Bad news: He had transmigrated into the world of Honkai.

Good news: He had a System.

Bad news: The System was one he had written himself.

As an ordinary person who had arrived in Chang Kong City, where the survival rate was infinitesimally close to zero, Qin Mo faced a monumental choice.

Should he flee Chang Kong City before the Third Honkai Eruption, live out his life as an ordinary person, constantly on edge, and wait for the Protagonist Group to resolve everything?

Or should he personally throw himself into the Honkai, interfere with the main storyline, and carve out a sliver of hope for survival with his own strength?

Qin Mo chose the latter. This young man, who had no attachments in this world, now had only one reason to live: to simply survive.

Volume 1: To Survive Honkai, I Must Entangle Myself with Raiden Mei

Chapter 1: Disturbance at Senba Academy

"Quick! That guy ran east!"

"Damn it, he's not here!"

"Watch the trees, that guy likes hiding in trees!"

"We have to catch him today!"

The once peaceful and serene Senba Academy was once again bustling with activity. However, for many, this had become a familiar sight, as these incidents occurred almost daily.

A group of security guards searched the campus with impotent rage. Yet, because the students here were not from ordinary families, they dared not conduct a large-scale search.

Meanwhile, the young ladies here found this spectacle quite novel, observing with detached amusement.

"Queen, shall I help you discard these flowers?"

Near a garden not far away, several girls stood together. The girl in the center held a bouquet of roses.

Make no mistake, she wasn't intending to give them away; they had just been thrust into her hands.

Looking at the flowers in her hands, Raiden Mei nodded and handed them to the person beside her.

Raiden Mei had unconsciously grown accustomed to this. After all, out of thirty days in a month, it happened as reliably as clockwork, even on weekends. How could she not get used to it?

Despite being a young lady of privilege, Raiden Mei was not spoiled. Instead, she maintained kindness towards others.

However, those around her did not feel the same way. Although the person in question had never acted inappropriately, the mere attempt to confess to the renowned Queen Raiden was something others could not tolerate.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"With just this many people, you think you can catch me?"

Qin Mo, dressed in casual wear, strolled leisurely along the platform outside the teaching building where external air conditioning units were installed. With a few practiced leaps and climbs, he successfully reached the top of Senba Academy – physically speaking.

Looking at the four tasks completed in one go displayed in the System, Qin Mo opened it to take a look.

"I have 49 Crystals. Just one more and I can do a ten-pull."

Looking at the rudimentary System before him, Qin Mo felt a mix of emotions, inevitably recalling his past life.

It was accurate to call it a past life. Qin Mo was a transmigrator. The trigger for his transmigration was a power outage at home. While the power was out, he decided to disassemble his computer for repairs without unplugging it.

Unexpectedly, the electricity, which was supposed to take two hours to restore, came back on in less than half an hour. And just like that, he was backstabbed by a shock, a truly dramatic turn of events.

As he was electrocuted, something was triggered, or perhaps he simply died from the shock. In any case, he transmigrated, arriving in a new world and gaining a System.

After a brief understanding of the world he was in, his emotions surged.

Qin Mo's original family situation was not good. He had no mother since childhood, and his father was a gambling addict. He had managed to escape that place, which held no good memories, by relying on his excellent grades and working part-time to fund his university education.

Therefore, even transmigrating brought no loss.

However, his emotional rollercoaster truly began after he figured out which world he had transmigrated into:

Good news, I transmigrated.

Bad news, I transmigrated into the Honkai world.

Good news, I have a System.

Bad news, the System is a game program I hadn't finished writing.

That's right, Qin Mo's System was the game program he had been writing on his computer before transmigrating. He had originally hoped to make a third-rate mobile game to earn some money and improve his academic life.

Because he was the only one working on it, this game System, although it had preset plot modules, task modules, main storyline, gacha mechanics, and oh, a backpack for storing drawn items.

He had only perfected the gacha system, and he hadn't put many items into the draw pool. However, they were all top-tier items. After all, anyone would design the strongest items first, wouldn't they? It's not like you'd put trash into the pool just to make yourself uncomfortable.

Good news, the items put into the draw pool are all top-tier items.

Bad news, I can't afford to draw cards.

After spending twenty-four hours scanning to improve myself... at least that's what the System said.

This System, named the Dimensional Codex, automatically populated various modules with endless dimensions.

Since Qin Mo himself hadn't created the main story for this mobile game, it would automatically explore the main story and protagonists of the world it was in. As long as Qin Mo participated in the main story and established relationships with the protagonists, he would receive reward Crystals.

The gacha pool, which originally only contained premium items, was now filled with trash from endless dimensions.

Actually, calling it trash might be an exaggeration, but compared to the original items in the gacha pool, it could only be considered trash.

Currently, the Dimensional Codex had two main functions: one was the mission system. Upon entering the main story or interacting with a protagonist, missions would be issued. Completing one main mission would immediately allow the player to accept the next. Daily main missions were basically daily tasks related to the protagonists, with only five issued per day, and the reward was a basic 1 Crystal.

The gacha system was divided into character card pools and item card pools.

The character card pool, besides some consumables and strange materials, also contained character cards. Character cards could be used on the player and multiple character cards could be equipped at once, but they had to be within the player's carrying capacity, which was the cost limit. A level one player's cost limit was only 5, increasing by one point for each level gained.

As for items, the limit was much more generous. The initial item inventory had 3 slots, with one added for every five levels gained.

Furthermore, items could take effect even if not placed in the item inventory, they were just not as convenient to use as when equipped.

Today was the thirtieth day since Qin Mo started drawing cards. Completing today's mission would allow him to perform his third ten-pull.

A ten-pull guaranteed at least an A-rank character or item. A cumulative one hundred pulls guaranteed at least an S-rank.

The two gacha pools were calculated separately.

Therefore, Qin Mo chose to draw one ten-pull from both the character pool and the item pool.

This was because an S-rank character card required 7 cost points, and a level one player could only use character cards with a cumulative cost of 5 points. If he drew an S-rank, he wouldn't be able to use it at all.

The System had been around for a month, and it hadn't given him a single mission that would increase his level. He strongly suspected that to level up, he needed to delve deeper into the main story.

After spending some time confirming that this world was Honkai Impact 3rd, Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qin Mo had skipped through the story of Honkai Impact 3rd when playing the game, he knew that a great Honkai would occur in Chang Kong City.

Of Honkai Impact 3rd's three protagonists, Kiana was still wandering and couldn't be found, and Bronya was still in Siberia. The only one he knew the whereabouts of was Raiden Mei, who was still a young lady at this time.

After the great Honkai, the three of them would go to St. Freya Academy. If he didn't interact with them now, he would have no chance later and they would just blend into the crowd.

In Honkai Impact 3rd, ordinary people were completely unaware of the Honkai and could be killed by it at any time.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Qin Mo chose the dangerous but correct path, which was to find Raiden Mei every day to complete missions and draw cards.

His first A-rank character card came from one of the protagonists in a game called Assassin's Creed.

An illustration is provided here; it can be viewed after updating the version.

Chapter 2: Changes in the Raiden Family

Eagle of Florence (A)

Skills:

Assassin Master: A legendary assassin, not famous for any single ability, but proficient in stealth, climbing, assassination, swordsmanship, and a series of other techniques.

Eagle Vision: Named Eagle Vision, but its essence is a sixth sense talent that allows one to distinguish their target without visual limitations.

Leap of Faith: An aerial force-discharging technique that allows one to fall vertically. If the landing spot has a haystack or water surface, fall damage is nullified.

Description: A legendary assassin master whose fame came not only from his skills.

This was also why he could skillfully avoid all the security guards. He recalled that in the beginning, to complete the daily refreshed mission of giving flowers to Raiden Mei and confessing his feelings, he had to find ways to sneak into Senba Academy every day, avoid security guards, and immediately engage in a marathon chase with them after completing the mission.

The item from his second ten-pull was much less impressive.

Tiger Tally (A)

Effect: Yin-Yang Balance

Description: A tally that controls the power of Yin-Yang balance, allowing the holder to simultaneously possess different powers without conflict, and also to divide the holder's Yin and Yang.

After obtaining this item, Qin Mo dared not take it out. After all, he was already in enough trouble, and if he couldn't control it properly, it would bring him even more problems.

However, not only items and character cards in the gacha pool were useful.

In addition to some consumables in the character card pool, Qin Mo also drew a legal identity in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, at least so he wouldn't be treated as an undocumented person.

The extra items from the item card pool were the wealth he couldn't do without.

Recalling his experience of arriving in this world as an undocumented person, penniless, and having to find a way to get flowers to confess to Raiden Mei, it felt like just yesterday.

The flowers he used to pick from the park flower beds had now been replaced by bouquets purchased from a flower shop.

Seeing that the security guards below had basically dispersed, Qin Mo performed a Leap of Faith from the rooftop, landing in the bushes surrounding the academy and leaving Senba Academy.

He had to admit that the Leap of Faith was a skill that was already akin to a rule. After all, even if it wasn't from a great height, falling into bushes normally would result in scratches, but under the effect of the Leap of Faith, there were absolutely no injuries.

Using Eagle Vision, he caught a thief in Chang Kong City and turned him in to the police, completing the last public order maintenance mission. Qin Mo returned to his twenty-square-meter apartment.

This address came with the legal identity, and apart from this apartment, he practically owned nothing.

However, having a place to live was enough for him.

After a very ritualistic bath, change of clothes, incense offering, and prayer, Qin Mo opened the gacha interface.

Qin Mo opened the gacha interface.

Once the gacha interface opened, others could also see it. Although he could completely use it with his consciousness in his mind, it lacked any sense of ceremony like this.

He expanded the gacha panel to the size of a bulletin board, burned some incense, paid his respects, and Qin Mo pressed the ten-pull button.

Congratulations on obtaining: Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken

The very first thing was a blue light. Qin Mo initially thought these consumable foods were just a scam, but he didn't expect them to actually have special effects.

Sweet Flower Brewed Chicken (B) Consumable Effect: Restores a certain amount of vitality after consumption. Description: Three Sweet Flower Brewed Chickens, don't be ungrateful.

Although the description was ambiguous, it was obvious that it could be used as a health potion.

Most blue items were consumables. White items, the lowest tier, were generally materials, diamonds, bloodstones, gold, and some even gave Japanese Yen directly.

On the ninth draw, a purple light appeared, and a magnificent scythe materialized on the screen.

Reaper's Breath (A) Effect: Greatly increases attack damage; consumes own life force in sync with attacks. Description: Legend has it this is the weapon Death uses to reap lives, whether the enemy's or one's own.

"..."

This thing, if you say it's weak, you'd be lying with your eyes open. But if you say it's strong, Qin Mo wouldn't dare to use it.
