Arknights: Becoming Their Guiding Spirit (Completed)
Lu Ling crossed over into Terra, but not completely.
His soul was inexplicably locked within a long-damaged statue outside the civilized world of Terra. To manifest a physical body and gain his own form, he must continuously obtain the power of prayers and wishes.
But the statue is in a barren, uninhabited land! There isn't a single person, let alone any prayers or wishes.
And so, Lu Ling had no choice but to disperse his consciousness onto numerous items, scattering them across the world to be found by the many young women of Terra.
In order to manifest his body, and to get close to these women, Lu Ling inexplicably became their "Golden Finger"—a wise, guiding mentor...
Jessica: "Mr. Lu Ling, you'll always be by my side, right?"
Lu Ling: "Ah, that's right, that's right."
Sora: "Mr. Lu Ling, can you be my manager forever?"
Lu Ling: "Of course, of course..."
Lu Ling didn't know how many times he had made such promises.
Until the day the women met each other.....
**Translator’s Note**
* Translation of 《方舟，被迫成为她们的背后灵》.
* Lu Ling → Lucas Reeve.
*This was written before a bunch of the big Arknights lore drops, so the Terra in here—its groups, dangers, and whatever else—follows a sort of half-invented, author-specific story that doesn’t exactly line up with anything official, especially once the later chapters start doing whatever they think they’re doing. Anyone expecting the later characters, factions, or galaxy-sized threats may find the scale drifting. This work should be considered an AU (Alternate Universe).
