"Hiss... My head is so dizzy, where am I?"
He rubbed his head, slowly supported himself to sit up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several Black Robed Men standing with their backs to him, surrounding him.
'Who are they... Why are these people in my house?'
Thinking of this, he immediately felt his head clear. After all, strangers had entered his home.
But soon, he noticed something strange.
'What's going on? Why does my chest feel a bit heavy?'
With curiosity, he looked down.
Then... what came into view was a pair of very prominent and full breasts, with a small black mole on the left side of the chest.
'No, is this me? How did I turn into a girl?'
Looking at the breasts in front of her, coupled with the distinctly empty feeling in her lower body, and with her experience from many gender-bender novels, she immediately realized what had happened.
Her 'big dragon' was 100% stolen; it had become a 'dragon pit'!
She didn't have time to mourn her departed 'second brother'; this unfamiliar environment also prevented her from feeling sad.
She slowly stood up and began to observe her surroundings.
After this observation, she was quite certain that she had most likely transmigrated.
The Black Robed Men in the distance, the dilapidated walls and doors, and the altar-like object under her feet that was out of place with the surroundings.
If she hadn't transmigrated, how could such a situation occur?!
It's not possible that someone drugged and kidnapped her, then sent her abroad to change her gender, and then dumped her in this inexplicable place!
And they would have to maintain her vital signs and not let her wake up in the process. What would the kidnappers gain? Her bank account balance of less than four digits?
Thinking of this, she almost laughed at her own absurd idea.
Pulling back her wandering thoughts, she began to rethink her current situation.
'These Black Robed Men seem to be in a fight with someone? And they don't seem to have noticed me...'
Gunshots kept coming from outside the door, dense and sounding quite intense.
Just as she was wondering whether to seize the opportunity to escape in the chaos or to stay put... Suddenly, a mechanical electronic voice, accompanied by subtitles, echoed in her mind.
"[Honkai: Star Rail Character Gacha System activated]"
"[Because the host triggered a myocardial infarction due to over-excitement after pulling seven Cipher in a single ten-pull, the system has set your initial character: Cipher (Cifera)]"
"[Host, in this world, you must earn stellar jade through 'influence.' stellar jade can be used for gacha pulls. When you pull a golden light, you will unlock more characters.]"
This is... a cheat system?!
After hearing the system prompt, Cifera was stunned, then immediately reacted.
"Initial character Cipher... System, do you mean I'm in Cipher's form now?"
However, the system did not answer her question.
Although she didn't get an answer, Sai Feier wasn't annoyed. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at her current appearance.
A coin hung around her neck. The coin depicted a grinning, one-eyed cat head. She quickly recognized it as the coin the cat would toss when using Divinity Speed in the story.
And a tail extended from behind her, appearing in front of her eyes, swaying back and forth.
Cifera felt very new. She felt this tail was like an independent yet not entirely independent creature. If she didn't control it, the tail would sway naturally, but if she wanted to control it, the tail was like her third hand, with no feeling of unsuitability whatsoever.
She first touched her tail; a fluffy sensation came from her palm, very comfortable. And there was no strange feeling from the tail, just like touching her own arm.
Then she raised her hand and touched the top of her head. Soon, she felt a pair of fluffy cat ears.
But the cat ears were only touched once; her fingers recoiled as if shocked.
"This... why is it so itchy? I thought it would be like touching my tail, with no feeling..." Cifera thought, her face slightly flushed.
Now she was truly certain that she had transformed into Cipher's appearance!
The gunshots grew louder and rapidly approached her. She could only temporarily stop exploring her body.
She took off the coin on her chest and held it in her hand.
Looking at the cat head coin in front of her, she felt some doubt.
If she had now become Cipher r, did that mean she also gained all of the cat's powers? After all, she hadn't seen the system say she needed to unlock powers, had she?
Thinking of this, she made a fist and then flicked the coin in her hand.
The moment the coin left her hand, She froze.
Because the coin at this moment was as if frozen, directly suspended in mid-air.
If Cipher's observational skills weren't astonishing, she wouldn't have noticed that the coin was currently moving at an extremely slow speed.
"Did I... successfully activate Divinity Speed?" Cipher muttered to herself, looking at the scene before her.
Because not only was the coin suspended, but the intense gunfire that had been ongoing also vanished the moment she tossed the coin.
Then, she prepared to head towards the Black Robed Men's location to investigate.
However, the moment Sai Feier took a step, she lost her balance because she didn't notice she was wearing high heels, and combined with the extra weight on her chest, she tilted forward and almost fell to the ground.
But instinctively not wanting to fall, She quickly extended her hands and continued to take a few steps forward, trying to maintain her balance.
However, this action did not allow Cifera to regain control of her body. Instead, she stumbled forward several steps.
Finally, because the room was quite narrow, Cifera didn't get far before she directly bumped her head against the wall, which finally stopped her somewhat comical behavior.
"Hiss... It doesn't seem to hurt?"
Rubbing her head, Cifera stood up, leaning against the wall, a little confused.
She had expected hitting the wall directly would be very painful, but she didn't expect it to feel just like a gentle tap.
But she quickly realized.
Who was she now? She was now Cifera, the Demigod of Trickery!
Even if she didn't have immortality like the Ten-thousand Foes, as a demigod, she wouldn't feel pain just from bumping into a wall, would she?
After a brief adaptation to the high heels and the weight on her chest, She could walk normally.
As for her tail... the tail would adapt to her body's movements and sway accordingly, she didn't need to worry about it at all!
After all this, Cifera walked up to the Black Robed Men and then saw what kind of people they were fighting against.
A burly man, over two meters tall, wearing metal-glowing gauntlets on both hands, was smashing at the Black Robed Men. Several Black Robed Men were holding pistol-like objects, frantically shooting at the strong man.
The bullets from these pistols were suspended in mid-air, also moving at an extremely slow speed, almost like watching a bullet-time segment from The Matrix, and then entering another layer of bullet time herself.
'This Divinity Speed ability is really useful. It's basically no different from time stop!'
Cifera, like a curious child, darted between the gaps of the Black Robed Men and bullets. No one or nothing could stop her.
After excitedly experiencing this novel sensation for a while, she began to re-examine the Black Robed Men and the invaders.
Soon, Cifera noticed a girl, who looked to be around her teens, hiding behind the strong man, also holding a pistol and shooting at the Black Robed Men in front of her, seemingly using the strong man as cover.
Besides that, she also found another girl, about the same age as the first girl, near the entrance of the building. She was holding a laptop-like device and staring nervously at the situation inside the door.
After observing all the situations here, she returned to her original spot, then reached out and took back the coin that was still flying in mid-air.
Immediately, time instantly returned to normal, and the intense gunfire resumed.
'I'll stay here and see what happens for now. Anyway, I now have Cipher's abilities, so even if something unexpected happens, if I want to escape, no one should be able to catch me.'
Thinking of this, Cifera drill entered the wardrobe nearby and began to observe the situation quietly.
