[System loading. Please wait patiently, Host.]
The girl didn't feel impatient. She looked around to observe her surroundings, finding herself in an unknown forest.
So, after a brief thought, she found a clean stone and sat down.
She quietly waited for the System to finish loading, preparing to make corresponding choices based on the System's functions.
However.
An hour passed.
[System loading 10%.]
The girl silently watched the System's loading progress bar, estimating that it would take about nine more hours to complete loading.
Therefore, she hesitated briefly and began to inspect her surroundings.
Since the System loading time was so long, there was no need to waste it. Taking the time to check her environment and look for some food was also a good option.
In short, the girl began to wander through this unknown forest.
Then.
After some time.
The girl despairingly realized something: she seemed unable to distinguish what was edible and what was not.
Moreover, there didn't seem to be any human settlements nearby either.
Wait… speaking of which.
That Lord God… didn't seem to mention that the world she was going to had humans; perhaps there were monsters in this world when she arrived.
"...This is troublesome."
The young girl looked up at the sky, pursing her lips tightly. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, falling on her slightly lonely body.
If there really wasn't a single human.
Then… wouldn't she die of boredom?
No, wait, it seems she didn't interact much with people before either.
Occasionally, she would only converse with doctors and nurses.
*
The sky grew dim.
Nine hours had already passed.
And the system… had finished loading.
"..."
The young girl looked at the system in her vision with some excitement. Even if there were no humans in this world.
However, with the system, it shouldn't be too boring.
However.
A scene of despair unfolded.
[System data self-check 1%]
The young girl froze for a moment, showing a tearful expression. This was not the result she wanted to see. The system would continue loading for another eight or nine hours.
Then her physical strength and energy… would reach a dangerous level.
In other words, for a short time, she couldn't rely too much on the system and had to find… food herself.
Otherwise, the system might not even activate, and when danger struck, she wouldn't even have the strength to run away.
So, the young girl couldn't rely on the system now.
And so.
The young girl continued to wander in the forest, looking for something that looked edible.
Of course, the young girl wisely chose not to hunt.
In fact, with her current physical condition, let alone hunting, she would only be prey herself.
Choosing some easily picked fruits was a better option.
And so.
Before the sky completely darkened.
"..."
The young girl found some food that barely looked edible: a pile of strangely colored mushrooms and a few unfamiliar red fruits.
She deliberated between the mushrooms and the fruits for a while.
"I'll eat… the fruit."
Considering the possibility of being poisoned by the strangely colored mushrooms, the young girl decided to choose the red fruits that looked safer.
Near the red fruits, there were traces of animals passing by, presumably to pick the red fruits.
So, the red fruits should be edible… right?
Anyway, they were safer than eating mushrooms.
"...The taste is surprisingly good."
The young girl bit into a red fruit and found that this red fruit was surprisingly not bad. It had the feeling of a candied apple, sweet and very delicious.
After eating just two… she felt noticeably full.
"Perhaps I can pick a few more."
The young girl whispered, then her eyes suddenly widened slightly, and then she tilted her head and… died.
It was no lie; the young girl died on the spot.
Although there were indeed traces of animals passing by near the red fruits, this did not mean that humans could eat them too.
In fact, those fruits… were not meant for humans to eat.
They were food for monsters, and if humans ate monster food, they would very likely… be poisoned to death.
And so, the young girl who had just transmigrated died again.
[System data self-check complete!]
[System activated!]
[Checking host attributes!]
[Race...*%#@ Error… Correcting… Host race confirmed as Corpse Demon.]
Perhaps the system was not yet completely perfected, or it had never encountered a host who died before the system activated.
So, the system checked the young girl's corpse.
It found that there was still some residual demonic power from the red fruits inside the young girl's corpse, so the most fitting race for the young girl's group was determined based on the situation.
Anyway, if it looked… like one, that was enough.
[System first activation, opening Newbie Gift Pack (Newbie Gift Pack), please choose an ability for the host, otherwise after three hours… a reward will be randomly selected.]
Naturally, the young girl could not respond.
Even if the system forcefully defaulted the young girl to be a Corpse Demon.
However, it could not change the fact that the young girl was dead.
And so.
The young girl's corpse lay in the moonlight, and the system silently counted down according to its program.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
At some unknown time.
A rift filled with dense eyes suddenly opened in the void, and a slender hand holding a folding fan reached out, gently poking the young girl's cheek.
Then, a beautiful woman with long golden hair slowly emerged halfway. She wore a Western-style dress embroidered with Bagua patterns.
Her temperament was between that of a noblewoman and a young girl.
"If only… all humans were that foolish."
She looked at the dead young girl's corpse and said with some emotion what was in her heart. If all humans were this foolishly cute.
Then she wouldn't have to worry about the survival of monsters in the future.
Originally, she was a bit wary of this young girl.
After all, even she, as a Boundary Yokai, hadn't discovered how this young girl suddenly appeared.
It was not hard to link the young girl to… some terrifying ability.
And so, she had been secretly observing the young girl's actions until the young girl ate the 'Demon Fruit' and died.
How to put it.
Initially, she thought the young girl was faking her death, trying to lure her out, and she waited a bit longer.
Until the young girl's corpse was completely cold.
She finally confirmed one thing.
This strange human young girl… was really dead.
"Humans sometimes do foolish things." The young girl suddenly opened her eyes, looking at the female monster in front of her with some displeasure, "Are all monsters extremely rational beings?"
"...Zombie!"
Yakumo Yukari's beautiful eyes widened, and the folding fan in her hand dropped in surprise. She had very seriously studied it; this young girl was thoroughly dead.
Why could she still talk as if nothing had happened?
"No, I've resurrected."
The young girl corrected Yakumo Yukari, stood up, straightened her clothes, and glanced at the system panel.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained demon god residue.]
Hmm.
The system seemed to have drawn some ability for her.
Which accidentally caused her to resurrect.
