[Star Rail System Loaded]
A cold, emotionless voice echoed in the girl's mind, catching her off guard.
"A system?"
Of course—every transmigrator gets a cheat system. The only question is: which type?
If it's a Overpower-type system, she's set. A Mission-type is decent. But if it's a Lazy-type… well, that's just embarrassing.
"What's your use? I transmigrated and became Firefly—was that your doing?"
She was clearly annoyed. She'd never wanted to transmigrate. Unlike typical protagonists, she wasn't heartbroken, orphaned, or unemployed. She was financially free and content.
And yet, here she was, thrown into a dangerous world without consent—even if it was as her favorite character, Firefly.
[Apologies! You were supposed to get a proper 'lucky accident' setup, but the driver was rerouted to handle other business first. So we skipped the process.]
"A 'lucky accident'…?"
She was speechless. So she was supposed to get hit by a truck, but the driver was busy?
[As compensation, you've been granted a Pro version of the starter pack.]
[This system was accidentally created from the game Honkai: Star Rail. Its main function is to provide characters and abilities from the game to help the Trailblazer speedrun through various worlds.]
"Can I refuse?"
It sounded fun, but also incredibly risky. This world alone was already dangerous.
[Don't be hasty! While you can't return to your original world, after clearing 7 worlds, you can choose one to settle in permanently with all your accumulated powers and characters.]
[Clear 12 worlds, and you'll receive the ultimate reward: the power to create your own Aeon.]
"An Aeon?!"
Her eyes widened. The power to create a custom Aeon—even the powers of the Finality or Equilibrium?
[Exactly. Any existing or yet-to-exist Aeon. If you're ready, let's begin clearing this world.]
"Yes! Let's go! I want that ultimate prize!"
She was hooked. She didn't care how the system worked or where it came from. The promise of Aeon-level power was irresistible.
She already knew where she'd settle: the vast universe of Star Rail. That would be happiness.
Chapter 3: "Cancer of the Multiverse" — Stellaron
[Main Objective: Completely alter or destroy the DGP Grand Prix.]
"Alter or destroy the DGP? That's a tall order."
That meant going up against the future people and the Creation Goddess. Even the future version of Geats, the one who started the whole DGP, would be an enemy.
She thought about the Geats protagonist team—truly a unique bunch among Reiwa Riders. Not a single normal person among them. Even the kind-hearted Keiwa eventually changed.
Still, she wasn't panicking. As a regular person, she'd have no chance. But now, as Firefly—with the SAM mech and a system—she had a fighting chance.
SAM alone was top-tier among the Stellaron Hunters. As Silver Wolf once said:
"Any mission with SAM gets done in a flash."
And the system? It wasn't just a basic cheat. It had a points system.
Points could be earned by completing achievements, missions, or defeating specific enemies. Points could be used in two ways: Exchange for Path Powers (e.g., Destruction, Nihility, Harmony) Gacha draws for relics, Light Cones, curios, or even Stellarons and Aeon fragments.
Exchange Rates:
PathPoints per Power Unit Destruction1:100 Nihility1:50 Harmony1:30 The Hunt1:5 Preservation1:10 Abundance1:1
Destruction had the best value—likely because Firefly's in-game Path was Destruction.
She decided to open her Pro Starter Pack.
[Opening Pro Starter Pack…]
[Congratulations! You've received: 3200 points, Light Cone ("Fall of a Star God"), and a Sealed Stellaron.]
"A Light Cone… and a Stellaron?!"
She was stunned. The rewards were excellent—enough to exchange for massive Destruction power or 20 gacha pulls.
The Light Cone was powerful, enhancing her Destruction abilities. But the Stellaron… that was something else.
As a Stellaron Hunter, she knew exactly what it was: a mysterious object that spreads like cancer across worlds, disrupting imaginary energy and corrupting everything.
It was dangerous—but also a powerful trump card.
She decided to test the Path Power exchange. One point gave her 100 Destruction Power—already a noticeable boost.
Without hesitation, she converted all 3200 points into Destruction Power. The surge of strength was undeniable.
"With this kind of value, I can't afford to waste any points."
After all, once she cleared seven worlds, all her powers and characters would become permanent.
Now, she just had to wait for the DGP to begin. Achievements and missions were uncertain, but defeating Kamen Riders and Jyamato would surely earn points.
She stood up and decided to explore. Neither she nor Firefly had ever walked freely like this before.
Especially Firefly—trapped in a medical pod due to Entropic Decay Syndrome, she'd rarely experienced the world with her own body.
Chapter 4: Firefly's "Ordinary" Appearance
"Tanuki Ramen."
Firefly looked at the ramen shop ahead and rubbed her stomach. She was actually hungry.
But checking her cash… just 1000 yen, picked up off the street earlier.
