When Satoru realized that he was suddenly hit head-on by a truck that rushed out while he was walking on the road, he felt that he was truly out of luck.
Feeling the pain coming from all over his body, Satoru couldn't even make a sound to call for help.
Was he going to die?
Was he going to be sent to another world by a truck driver at such a young age?!
He was only 17 years old, he had finally managed to get into his dream High School a year ago, and successfully advanced to his second year, was he going to die now?!
He didn't want to die!
He didn't want to die at all, he hadn't had a girlfriend yet, he hadn't...
Although his desire to survive was very strong, Satoru's consciousness was gradually fading, and he knew that his life might truly be coming to an end.
"So unwilling... I don't want to die... As long as I can... live... I'm willing to... do... anything..."
Satoru murmured with difficulty, but the temperature of his body was still rapidly dropping. His pupils dilated, gradually becoming dull as life slipped away, and his consciousness grew heavy and blurry.
Just then, a pink light suddenly lit up, flowing around Satoru's body.
[System lagging...]
An ethereal female voice appeared in Satoru's mind. Before Satoru could think too much, the pain from his severely injured body made his consciousness even heavier.
I really don't want to die!
As long as I can live, I'll accept anything!
[System restored to normal.]
[System binding started.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully bound the god-level heroine system!]
A blurry voice appeared in Satoru's mind. He wanted to hear clearly what the voice in his mind was saying.
But in an instant, his vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
The second he lost consciousness, he felt the pain in his body disappear, and his dissipating life force rapidly recovered.
When he opened his eyes again, Satoru found that he was not under the wheels of a truck, but sitting on a long bench, with the red and white Tokyo Tower visible not far away.
The setting sun dyed the evening clouds red, and the twilight color stretched from the western sky all the way to the eastern horizon. The city covered by twilight always gave people a lazy feeling.
What's going on?
Satoru sat on the long bench, momentarily disoriented. He looked around and gradually sorted out his current situation.
He was hit and killed by a truck, but he was reincarnated. It's just that this reincarnation seemed to come with a teleportation effect, sending him from his original Heavenly Dynasty to Japan.
All his memories from his previous life were still there. He pinched his cheek, and it didn't seem like a dream; it was very real.
It's just... why did his cheek feel strangely delicate and smooth when he touched it now? It was as if he wasn't touching his own cheek, but rather the cheek of a beautiful girl.
Just as Satoru was confused about the situation, a gentle female voice echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully bound the god-level heroine system. Please open the system for the first time. Please wave your hand upwards, Host.]
It was that voice again. When he was in a car accident and on the verge of death, that voice also appeared in his mind.
An ethereal female voice, it sounded very soothing and pleasant.
What did she just say? god-level heroine system?
She?
"god-level heroine system? What is that thing?"
[I know you have many questions, Host, but it's okay. Just wave your hand up and successfully activate the system, and you'll know.]
"Ah, no... I just wanted to say, isn't your system name a bit too old-fashioned?" Kotomi Izumi couldn't help but complain.
[Do you think I wanted to come up with this name?! It's because my level is too low, and I haven't found a suitable host to bind to, which means I don't have money to buy a name change card, so I can only keep using this initial name.]
The voice in his mind said helplessly, so Satoru had to wave his hand upwards first.
The next second, a cyberpunk-style system panel appeared before Satoru's eyes, with "god-level heroine system" written at the top.
Although it wasn't the best time to complain, Satoru still really wanted to complain that the font style of the "god-level heroine system" line looked like the font style of the Cyberpunk 2077 title!
Could it be that this system was also obsessed with Cyberpunk 2077 recently?
Satoru continued to look down and found that the system panel clearly recorded his various data.
"Name, Kotomi Izumi... Hmm? But my name is Satoru, wait a minute? Why has my voice become so much like a girl's?"
Satoru suddenly realized that his voice had changed, becoming very melodious and pleasant, completely a girl's voice.
[Because you've become a girl, Host. If I didn't turn you into a girl, wouldn't my god-level heroine system lose face?]
"No way? Playing this big?!"
[Because didn't you say before you died in your previous life, Host? That you'd accept anything as long as you could live. Anyway, congratulations, Host, on your successful reincarnation. You don't need to worry about language issues either; this system has automatically made you fluent in Japanese.]
"It seems there was such a thing..." Satoru was momentarily at a loss for how to refute.
However, he had originally been worried about whether his somewhat broken Japanese would be enough to live normally and communicate with people around him after coming to Japan. After hearing the god-level heroine system say that, Satoru felt relieved.
[However, Host, you must be very curious about what you look like now, right?]
Satoru nodded. Although she knew that she had been reincarnated as a girl named Kotomi Izumi, she wanted to know what she looked like now even more.
Instantly, a small mirror appeared in her hand.
Satoru... no, she should be called Kotomi Izumi now, looked at herself in the mirror and froze instantly.
Her skin, carved from ice and jade, was fair and translucent, and her charming face, still with a hint of youthful innocence, was enough to make the cherry blossoms dancing in April pale in comparison. She had short white hair that reached her shoulders, like a pure and flawless silken thread, and eyes like pink jewels. Her appearance seemed harmless and easily bullied.
This beauty, enough to stir the deepest desire for conquest and possession in any male, or even female, drove them to madness.
This beauty made her stare blankly for a moment. If she could, she would express her love to her regardless of everything, even if rejected, she would be like a moth flying into a flame, without regret.
It's just a pity that in this world, only she couldn't express her love to the short white-haired girl in front of her. Because the incomparably beautiful girl was herself...
Kotomi Izumi looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, and then slowly spoke:
"I look... like Sirius from Azur Lane."
[Because you always liked Sirius from Azur Lane in your previous life, Host, and would occasionally shout things like 'Sirius is my wife,' so I made your appearance after reincarnation look very much like Sirius. Hmph, thank me~]
"Then I really thank you so much..." Kotomi Izumi twitched the corner of her mouth, saying, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
She really did like Sirius from Azur Lane, and she had indeed said "Sirius is my wife" in her previous life.
But that didn't mean she wanted to become Sirius!
After her reincarnation, she actually looked very much like the two-dimensional waifu she had fantasized about in her previous life. She probably wouldn't be able to look at Sirius's doujinshi straight anymore.
However, luckily, she wasn't turned into a loli like Unicorn... Kotomi Izumi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
[Host, you must have finished admiring your beauty now, right? Let's take a look at the system panel~ I specifically designed the god-level heroine system's panel style this way to make up for your regret of not being able to play Cyberpunk 2077 before you died in your previous life.]
"Then I really thank you for that."
Kotomi Izumi said with a wry smile, then looked at the system in front of her.
Name: Kotomi Izumi.
Age: 16 years old
Gender: Female
School: Chiba City Soubu High School
Grade: First year
Strength: 5
Speed: 7
Stamina: 9
Talent: Due to your accumulated 'training' in your previous life, your hand speed is excellent.
Writing Level: 5 (Needs 15000 Fame Points to upgrade to the next level)
Painting Level: 1 (Needs 1000 Fame Points to upgrade to the next level)
Kendo Level: 2 (Needs 2000 Fame Points to upgrade to the next level)
Cooking Level: 2 (Needs 1000 Fame Points to upgrade to the next level)
Fame Points: 100 points
Only this much data was currently displayed, with several unlocked sections below marked with large question marks.
Driven by curiosity, Kotomi Izumi clicked on the large question mark.
The moment her fingertip touched the question mark, a new panel immediately popped up.
[Insufficient Fame Points. Pay 100,000 Fame Points to unlock new skills]
Then two more notes popped up.
Note: Fame Points are simply like skill points in a game. Gaining skill points can be used to upgrade skills and unlock new skills, and also improve the Host's overall physical qualities.
Note: Let more people know your name! Let more people be attracted by your works! Then you can gain Fame Points!
Kotomi Izumi gradually understood the various operations of this god-level heroine system. No wonder there was a plus sign after each level; she only needed to click that plus sign to input Fame Points and raise her various levels.
Kotomi Izumi clicked the plus sign next to the Painting Level. The Fame Points column instantly changed from 100 points to 99 points. The Painting Level didn't change, but the progress bar behind it changed slightly.
Painting Level: 1 (Needs 999 Fame Points to upgrade to the next level)
"Oh, so that's how it is. This is great, I'm gradually understanding everything. This is my golden finger after reincarnation!" Kotomi Izumi looked at the changes on the system panel and understood what this system was all about.
Looking closely, it was not hard to find that her various levels were not very high.
Painting: She had never practiced it, at most she could draw a stick figure.
And the stick figure she could draw was only a basketball.
Kendo: When she was little, she developed the idea of practicing kendo after watching Rurouni Kenshin, dreaming of one day mastering Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū.
However, later in her second year of Junior High, due to the successive deaths of her parents, Chen Chang'an had to work part-time while studying. As a result, her kendo practice also stopped.
The reason why the god-level heroine system showed a Kendo Level of 2 was probably because she had practiced kendo to the first dan in her previous life.
Cooking: Although her cooking in her previous life wasn't particularly delicious, she could at least make edible home-cooked meals. While not proficient in frying, stir-frying, boiling, and deep-frying, she was at least familiar with them and could cook for herself.
As for why her Writing Level was 5, Kotomi Izumi was a bit surprised when she first saw it, but then she remembered that in her previous life, she often liked to secretly write novels in her diary during her free time after class, and then she understood why her Writing Level was 5.
She had loved reading novels, comics, and anime since she was a child. With her terrible drawing skills in her previous life, drawing comics was impossible, but she would occasionally take the time to write some novels.
Originally, she wrote in her diary, but later in her first year of Junior High, her final exam results were very good, showing great improvement. Her parents were very happy and bought her a laptop.
Although that laptop couldn't play major games, it was perfectly fine for watching anime, playing galgames, and writing novels in Word documents.
In the blink of an eye, I had written over a million words of novels.
Although the novels I wrote back then were scattered inspirations and I never submitted any of them...
But in the end, it still accumulated some experience for her, otherwise, her writing level would not be 5.
Similarly, Kotomi Izumi found that there was no task panel on this system, which meant that the god-level heroine system would not issue tasks.
"The god-level heroine system's purpose is to assist the host and be a helper on the host's path to becoming a god-level heroine, not a ruthless task-issuing machine. So, this system has no task settings!"
The female voice in her mind prompted at this moment, her voice no longer ethereal and serious like before, but rather a bit playful?
Why did that voice sound a bit like Theresa?
After browsing the current system, Kotomi Izumi gradually understood her status in this life.
Kotomi Izumi, a 16-year-old female High School student who had just passed her exams and was admitted to Soubu High School.
Her family lived in Chiba City. Her father, Kan'ya Izumi, worked at a company and was a well-liked section chief. His monthly salary was over 300,000 Japanese Yen, which wasn't too high but definitely not low, ensuring the family didn't have to worry about living expenses.
Her mother, Akina Izumi, was a full-time housewife. She was a great beauty in her youth, and now she occasionally jokes that Kotomi Izumi and her younger sister, Aimi Izumi, perfectly inherited her good looks.
That's right, Kotomi Izumi also had a younger sister named Aimi Izumi.
As for why Aimi Izumi was only one year younger than her, and why, even though both were beautiful, Aimi Izumi clearly resembled Akina Izumi more, Kotomi Izumi learned the truth through the god-level heroine system.
It turned out that she was not the Izumi's biological daughter. When she was a baby, the Izumi couple, unable to conceive, decided to give up on having a child and planned to adopt one.
But unexpectedly, one evening, as the Izumi couple were returning home together, they passed a small park and faintly heard a baby crying.
When the Izumi couple followed the crying sound, they found a small baby abandoned in a cardboard box. Thus, the Izumi couple decided to adopt this baby and named her Kotomi Izumi.
As if adopting Kotomi Izumi brought them good fortune, two months after they adopted Kotomi Izumi, Akina Izumi was surprised to discover she was pregnant.
A year later, Aimi Izumi was born, and Kotomi Izumi thus gained a close sister with no blood relation.
The Izumi couple had always treated Kotomi Izumi as their own, loving her as their biological daughter.
And her younger sister, Aimi Izumi, never knew that Kotomi Izumi was not her biological sister. However, having grown up together since childhood, they could certainly be considered biological sisters.
As for why Kotomi Izumi came to Tokyo, the purpose was actually very simple: she wanted to buy some manga books at a bookstore in Tokyo.
After sorting through her current situation in her mind, Kotomi Izumi gradually accepted her reincarnation and transformation into a girl.
Although she had lived as a boy for 17 years in her previous life, transforming into a girl after reincarnation would definitely require a short period of adjustment.
However, when she thought about some transmigration light novels she had read in her previous life, where the protagonists, after transmigrating, either turned into slimes, spider girls, goblin beastmen, or even some strange, unnamable entities, she couldn't help but feel relieved and even a little like laughing.
When she thought of this, and then thought of herself becoming a very beautiful female High School student after reincarnation, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even felt like laughing.
"It seems the host has gradually accepted it."
"You could say that. Since the change has occurred, I must accept it," Kotomi Izumi said, standing up.
It was getting late. If she didn't go home soon, her parents might worry.
Kotomi Izumi quickened her pace to the train station and boarded the train leaving Tokyo for Chiba City.
Fortunately, it wasn't yet the rush hour for office workers, and there weren't too many people on the train, so she easily found a seat.
After Kotomi Izumi sat down, she began to think about what she should do next.
The current date was August 17th, still during the summer vacation, and the summer vacation for Japanese High School students ended on August 24th.
There were still 7 days left before she would officially enroll in Soubu High School and become a High School student.
Kotomi Izumi decided that she must thoroughly master the god-level heroine system during the remaining 7 days of summer vacation.
"To improve skill levels and unlock new skills, I need Fame Points. Fame Points, as the name suggests, can only be obtained by becoming famous. In that case, as the first means of increasing my Fame Points, I'll choose to write novels!"
Kotomi Izumi decided in her heart that her first method of gaining Fame Points would be to write novels and become an author.
But after making this decision, another problem arose before her.
If she wanted to gain Fame Points and level up by writing novels, what kind of novels should she write?
This was a question that needed serious consideration.
In an instant, a thought suddenly popped into Kotomi Izumi's mind: did the novels, anime, manga, and galgames she had watched in her previous life still exist in this one?
As soon as this thought popped into her mind, Kotomi Izumi's heart immediately filled with excitement. Simply put, she wanted to be a plagiarist.
But her phone was dead now, so she couldn't verify this idea.
Therefore, after the train arrived in Chiba City, Kotomi Izumi, eager to verify her idea, ran directly to an internet cafe by the station.
When she was setting up the computer, the Front desk Miss couldn't help but glance at Kotomi Izumi a few more times. This young girl was too beautiful! And her figure was so well-developed, it was truly enviable and jealous.
After the computer was set up, Kotomi Izumi immediately went to her chosen seat and turned on the computer.
From time to time, amazed glances were cast her way from around, as it was rare for a beautiful girl like Kotomi Izumi, with both a pretty face and a good figure, to appear in an internet cafe.
Kotomi Izumi, busy trying to verify the idea in her mind, didn't pay attention to these people's gazes.
After successfully turning on the computer, Kotomi Izumi clicked on Google Browser.
In the input bar, she typed in lines of light novels, manga, anime, and galgames that she had watched and liked when she was Satoru.
"sword art online," "Date A Live," "puella magi madoka magica," "Attack on Titan," "Saya no Uta," "chainsaw man," "White Album," "Oreimo," "Bloom Into You," and so on.
Without exception, these popular and famous works from when she was Chen Chang'an, did not appear when she searched for them now!
In other words, in this world, all the anime, light novels, and manga she had watched in her previous life did not exist?!
Kotomi Izumi turned off the computer, walked out of the internet cafe, and as she walked down the street, recalling the screen where the browser displayed no results for each work she searched, a smile curved on her lips.
She had found a way to gain Fame Points!
At the same time, she also found a way to earn money in the future!
However, what should the first light novel be about?
Since she planned to use her writing level as her primary means of gaining Fame Points, Kotomi Izumi decided that her first book would naturally be a light novel.
She would gain Fame Points by writing light novels, then use those Fame Points to upgrade her drawing level. Once her drawing level reached 5, she could become an illustrator and a mangaka.
"By the way, Host, do you want to find a boyfriend in the future?"
"Boyfriend? No! Absolutely not!"
"Then a girlfriend?"
"That's right!" Kotomi Izumi nodded vigorously.
"Good, that's what I'd expect from you!"
