“Ahhh! So nervous, so nervous.”
Chen Xing walked down the street, incredibly anxious because it was his first date with his girlfriend.
He had gotten up early to wash up, dress, and put on his most expensive clothes.
When he looked in the mirror, he thought he looked quite dashing.
Even though he was well-prepared, the thought of meeting his goddess made his heart race uncontrollably.
Of course, along with the nervousness, Chen Xing was also excited and thrilled.
“From today, I’m no longer single! Those ‘wizards’ who’ve never even touched a girl’s hand, I’m leaving your ranks!” Just as Chen Xing was excitedly imagining the upcoming meeting, he suddenly heard a strange noise.
The next second, a shadow enveloped him.
Instinctively looking up, he saw a truck inexplicably above him, casting the shadow that blocked the sunlight.
“Ah, shi—” Before he could finish the curse, the truck crashed down with a thunderous noise, shaking the ground.
Amidst the screams of countless people around, Chen Xing’s body merged into the ‘second dimension.’
Surrounded by endless darkness, Chen Xing felt intense pain invading every part of his body.
He wanted to scream but couldn’t make a sound, not even able to move.
The fear brought by the darkness and pain made Chen Xing despair.
Just as he was about to break down, a voice came to his ear.
“Master, I finally found you.” The voice sounded like a young girl, full of innocence and liveliness.
“Who are you? Where is this place? Please save me!” The pain in his body gradually subsided, but fear still gripped Chen Xing’s heart.
Hearing this voice was like grabbing a lifeline, desperately seeking help.
“Your soul is currently in a spatial tunnel, and the pain is inevitable.
But once you cross into this world, the pain will completely disappear.”
“Cross? What crossing? What was with that truck just now?”
“I can only bring your soul across, so your physical body had to be destroyed.
I’ll explain everything once you arrive here.
The crossing is about to end…
Oh! It’s already over.”
As the voice faded, a point of light appeared in the endless darkness before Chen Xing, quickly expanding to envelop him.
When Chen Xing regained consciousness, he found himself in a medium-sized square chamber.
The surrounding walls were made of dark green stone, carved with patterns he couldn’t understand.
There were no doors or windows, and the patterns on the walls emitted a faint purple glow, illuminating the room.
In the glow, Chen Xing saw a cross standing in the room, with a girl bound to it.
Under the purple light, she possessed an indescribable, enchanting beauty.
Her skin was pale and sickly, her lips thin and black, her hair long and white, reaching her waist.
Her slender legs and tight-fitting clothes accentuated her graceful curves.
Her figure and appearance exceeded Chen Xing’s imagination of beauty.
Moreover, the girl before him exuded not only beauty but also an indescribable allure and wickedness.
The tight black leather outfit on her body seemed to be alive, constantly writhing.
Suddenly, the part of the outfit over her chest split open, revealing not skin but a red gem, emitting an eerie red light, resembling an eye.
In the instant the light shone on him, Chen Xing felt as if his entire being was exposed.
Chen Xing wasn’t swayed by her beauty; he found the girl before him very strange, so he turned to run, but there was no door to escape through.
“Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?” Chen Xing asked the woman, thinking the voice he heard earlier was hers.
“Master, this is you. The world’s only demon, the ruler of darkness, the source of evil, the origin of fear, the destroyer of worlds…” The voice appeared in Chen Xing’s mind, filled with admiration.
But those adjectives didn’t seem positive, making the girl before him sound quite bad.
“Me? You, you must be joking.
How could I be like this?”
“This is your body.
Three thousand years ago, the six powerful races of humans, beasts, elves, dragons, dwarves, and gods united to hunt you down.
They couldn’t destroy your body, so they tried to extinguish your soul.
You had to send your soul to another world to escape.
But because your soul was severely damaged, you lost all your memories, endlessly reincarnating in that world.
But finally, after much effort, I found you in another world and brought you back.”
The information from the voice was overwhelming, and Chen Xing’s mind couldn’t process it all at once.
Once she calmed down, she roughly understood that this girl’s body could be considered her body from a previous life?
“Don’t, don’t joke around! You must be part of some prank show! Let me go back!”
No matter what, Chen Xing couldn’t accept all this, but the voice’s next words shattered her fantasy.
“Master, look down at your body. You can’t go back now.”
Hearing the voice, Chen Xing looked down, realizing she couldn’t see her body.
She tried to raise her hand but found it didn’t exist.
“You are now a soul. Your physical body has been destroyed, and your soul can’t withstand the crossing’s fluctuations. You must return to your body.”
“Return to the body…” At this point, Chen Xing couldn’t help but look at the woman hanging on the cross.
“No way! I’m a man; how could I have that kind of body?”
Not only because the other was a woman, but mainly because the woman before him looked too strange, exuding an aura of wickedness.
Chen Xing, a normal person, couldn’t accept it.
Moreover, the girl’s appearance was very similar to a fallen magical girl from a certain book, and Chen Xing feared that becoming her would turn him into a plush toy.
“Man? Master, you were originally a girl.
That man’s body was just a temporary vessel.
Besides, souls have no gender; they are formless energy.
Whatever vessel they enter, that’s what they become.
And this witch’s body is your first body, your most original form.”
“No way!”
“If you don’t accept it, you’ll be trapped in this chamber forever.
This is the coffin sealing your body.
If you don’t merge with it, you can’t break free.
As a soul, you won’t disappear.
Do you want to be trapped here forever?”
“…” Hearing this, Chen Xing fell silent.
She couldn’t imagine being trapped here forever; she’d go insane.
“Is merging with this body the only way?”
Chen Xing looked at the woman’s body before her.
It seemed like the only option, as the chamber’s walls couldn’t be broken in her soul state.
“If this woman is as powerful as the voice claims, I can use this power to return to my original world and find a way to revive my destroyed body?”
At this point, Chen Xing still wanted to go home.
Although there were no family ties in that world, the goddess she liked was still waiting for her! She wasn’t one of those protagonists who loved otherworldly novels.
“Alright, what should I do?”
“Just walk towards the red light.
The gem will guide your soul back to your body.”
“Sigh…” Although she didn’t need to breathe, Chen Xing sighed, then took steps towards the body.
As she got closer, Chen Xing felt a strange pull from the red gem on the woman’s chest.
Her consciousness began to blur, and her body floated uncontrollably towards the girl hanging in the air.
Her consciousness fell into chaos.
When Chen Xing awoke, the numb pain in her limbs made her let out a low moan.
“Ah~”
This time, Chen Xing heard her voice.
Earlier, when she spoke, she was in soul form, so no sound came out.
Now, the voice she heard was filled with a girl’s softness.
“I…” Chen Xing tried moving her neck and arms, and the body, unused for a thousand years, made cracking sounds.
The chains binding Chen Xing’s arms were easily broken.
She brought her arms into view, seeing slender, pale arms with five long, delicate fingers, like beautiful white jade, with long nails painted black, giving an evil feel.
Clenching her fingers into a small fist, Chen Xing felt the long-lost sensation of having a physical form, much better than the ethereal feeling of being a soul.
“Congratulations, Master, on returning to your body! When your power fully recovers, it will be time to plunge the world into darkness!” The voice couldn’t hide its excitement, but Chen Xing’s mind was still in chaos, unable to calm down.
Easily breaking free from the chains binding her, her white, tender feet touched the ground for the first time in a thousand years.
The cold sensation didn’t bother Chen Xing.
She looked down to examine her body, her silver-white hair falling on either side of her vision, seeing a pair of prominent… and the red gem seemingly embedded between her chest.
Chen Xing couldn’t help but touch her chest and the red gem.
“Wow, is this an evil witch or a seductive witch?” Chen Xing couldn’t bear to look at this scene but couldn’t help glancing a few more times.
“Master, this black outfit is made from all the world’s evil, fused and refined, and has become one with your body, so it’s not clothing.”
“So, I’m naked?”
“You could say that.
Of course, Master, you can hide it or change it to any style you want.”
“Hmm? Isn’t this like Venom?” The outfit’s characteristics reminded Chen Xing of something, but she didn’t dwell on it.
With her thoughts, the black outfit on her body seemed to come alive, writhing.
Chen Xing didn’t know why she knew how to do it, but she just did it casually, as simple as eating.
