Transformed into the leader of an esoteric sect in Japan

Transformed into the leader of a secret cult in Japan Author: Jingyu

Synopsis: Lu Jingxi's soul transmigrates to Japan.

She transformed into the beloved high school girl, Kurosawa Shizuki.

However, she was shocked to discover that she seemed to have a very powerful hidden identity...

Why are those crazy cult followers worshipping me?

What?! I'm actually your saintess!

My phone beeped with a text message:

"Unofficial agent, the organization will not forget your contributions. The next contact location is..."

There's definitely something wrong with this. I'm actually an undercover agent for the anti-suppression bureau!

In the modern metropolis of Pingjing, where the old and new are fading, a strange resurgence occurs, with esoteric religions running rampant and hidden gods lurking in the shadows of the world.

The young female cult leader walks on the edge of reason and madness, raising the banner of usurpation against those in power!

Let's set a small goal first: to become the evil god of the new era!

P.S., it's a yuri story, but it's relatively clean-cut; the main characters' romantic pairings only appear in the middle of the story.

Section 1, Chapter 1: Am I the Leader of an Esoteric Sect?

She heard a continuous stream of strange whispers, like incantations being chanted.

I found myself sitting on a high platform, kneeling in a very dignified and solemn posture.

Below were rows of worshippers dressed in ancient black robes, standing motionless.

I felt a splitting headache, my vision was blurred, and everything was shrouded in a scorching darkness.

Lu Jingxi felt her mind go blank, as if something had suddenly hollowed it out, and it felt as if needles were piercing her skull from the inside out.

She lowered her head slightly, took several deep breaths, and the pain subsided a little after a few minutes.

Only then could she concentrate a little and observe the situation around her.

What the heck? Why is the atmosphere so strange? Where is she now?

A rather spacious Japanese-style room, which can probably accommodate hundreds of people to gather here.

The high platform where I stood was quite luxurious, much like a Japanese shrine, with curtains on both sides adorned with various gold and jade jewels.

Thousands of tamarinds hung from the wall, and the shimenawa rope clearly divided the human world from the divine realm. The dim light from the oil lamp flickered with an eerie glow.

Below him were many strange figures, all with different appearances and postures, but they were all staring at him with fanatical eyes.

Some people wore hideous ghost masks, spun around, and danced a bizarre dance.

Some people rang bells, clapped hand drums, played flutes, or sang a strange and ethereal ballad in rhythm, creating what sounded like a symphony.

The crowd split into two large sections, with a path left in the middle for people to pass through. People dressed as priests kept placing white plates filled with various items in front of the shrine where Lu Jingxi was standing.

The offerings included various fruits, precious stones, amulets, sculptures, and various kinds of meat that appeared to have been processed.

Each time a sacrifice was offered, the strange beings would shout a slogan in unison, something like: "Supreme power, Black Sun!" "Saintess Kurosawa is blessed by the gods!" "Black flames bless us!"

Even though they were speaking Japanese, Lu Jingxi could understand it all!

With a blank expression, Lu Jingxi looked down at her hands, a pair of fair and delicate little hands.

She raised her hands and pinched her face. It hurt, it was soft, it was tender, and she was sure it wasn't the face she was familiar with.

Then, feeling down to her chest, I saw that her breasts were beginning to develop and looked promising for the future.

Her hands trembled slightly, but she finally placed them on her knees. Looking down at her body, she realized that she was wearing a red and white outfit similar to a shrine maiden's dress, and a strange, heavy crown on her head.

It was confirmed that the body was not familiar, nor the gender was familiar, the people around were not speaking a familiar language, and the environment was not familiar.

"Have I...traveled through time?" The body blurted out in Japanese without thinking.

Damn it, why did I transmigrate like this without any warning? I was just staying at home playing a simulator game!

Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary high school student in China. If there was anything special about him, it was that he had a handsome face like a movie star, and his grades were always in the top ten of his grade. He had also served as the student council president for a year. His only hobby was playing video games.

I remember that game seemed to put the player in the role of a cult leader, constantly collecting various mysterious items, recruiting new followers, holding various rituals to please the gods, and obtaining extraordinary powers to fight against the official anti-crackdown bureau...

The world setting is roughly a modern society where the government has completely controlled and shut out the mystical forces from the public, and has established a transnational organization called the Anti-Suppression Bureau to suppress all unofficial and secret beliefs around the world. Ordinary people who want to become extraordinary must establish various cults and make contact with evil and dangerous gods...

I just finished creating my character and now I've been transported to another world?

I remember that the character he created was indeed a priestess with powerful spiritual abilities, but it seems that the story background was a bit special for the sake of being interesting.

Wait a minute, Lu Jingxi thought for a moment, since it seems she's currently transported into a game, is there a standard...

"System! Cheat! Cheat!" he muttered to himself.

Then, sure enough, a pleasant "ding" sound rang in her ears! She was safe! Although she had transmigrated and transformed, with a system, a wonderful life was already unfolding before her!

Congratulations! You have activated the Esoteric Buddhist Leader System.

The first part is a tutorial similar to that of a game:

This system will provide you with a unique experience, where you will play the role of a cult leader yearning for divine revelation in a modern world where the gods lurk in the shadows.

[By developing your cult, completing main quests, side quests, and daily quests, you will earn Nightmare Points. Nightmare Points can be used in the shop to draw powerful spiritual items, recruit rare followers, and exchange for extraordinary skills.]

[Develop esoteric Buddhism, elevate your own status, and ultimately see through the truth of the world!]

[Note: Due to your chosen special starting point, "Cult Destroyer," you will infiltrate the cult as an undercover agent for the Anti-Cult Bureau. The more cult members you destroy, the more favor you will receive from the Anti-Cult Bureau's protectors.]

The system then prompted Lu Jingxi whether to view the character panel, and she naturally chose to open it without hesitation.

The game panel of the simulator game suddenly unfolded in front of me:

[Player: Kurosawa Shizuki (Lu Jingxi)]

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Nationality: Japanese (or Chinese)

[Occupation: High school girl, Black Sun's Favorite, President of the Heijyo Branch of the Mitra Invincible Black Sun Cult, Unofficial Member of the Anti-Extermination Bureau, Chosen Shrine Maiden of the Generation of Gods, Light Novel Writer]

[Level: 6]

【Titles: Cult Leader/Active High School Girl/Spy Within a Spy/Chosen One/Yellow-Clad Little Rabbit】

[Rationality: 18 (symbolizing your thinking and ability to accept advanced knowledge; the normal level of rationality is 3 to 5)]

[Spirituality: 103 (symbolizing your inspiration and sensitivity to psychic energy; the average person's spirituality is 1 to 2)]

[Physical Strength: 12 (symbolizing your physical constitution and resistance to the material world; normal physical constitution is 5 to 8)]

[Skill: Dark Spirit Body (Third Stage)]

[Item: Black Sun Divine Stone Fragment]

[Holdings: 103286 yen, 102 Nightmare Points]

Lu Jingxi sensed something was off. Did this character have too many professions? Could it be related to the identity of the destroyer of the secret cult that she had randomly chosen at the beginning?

So, am I some kind of anti-terrorism agent infiltrating a secret society? Wait a minute, who would recruit a high school girl as an infiltrator for a secret society these days? And judging by her profession, she actually succeeded in infiltrating and became the branch leader of some Black Sun Cult? Is it really okay for a high school girl to become the branch leader so easily?

As for her initial attributes, they all far exceed those of normal humans, especially her spirituality, which is equivalent to that of nearly a hundred ordinary people combined. Is she really a psychic girl?

And what the heck is this Sun Cult? Isn't it based in Japan? This name doesn't fit the Japanese style at all, and it even has a strong chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) vibe.

Next, the Secret Cult panel will be opened:

[Secret Religion: Mithraic Black Sun Cult's Pyakkyo Branch]

[Cult Leader: Kurosawa Shizuki (Lu Jingxi)]

[Introduction: Originating from a secret sun worship tradition in pre-Christian Persia, it entered the Roman Empire during the Third Century Crisis and subsequent wars, and spread to Japan with the New Roman coalition after the 20th-century World Wars. It worships Mithras, the invincible black sun god symbolizing power and strength, and believes that all life originates from the black sun. Mortals can refine themselves, burning away their impurities to achieve a state of greatness close to the primordial sun. The supreme relic is a black sun god stone that Emperor Aebaragarus once brought into Rome.]

[Cult members: 568 novice believers "Raven", 105 senior believers "Shadowless", 7 fanatics "Lion", 1 hidden believer, and 1 chosen one "Bride".]

[Sect Size: Level 1 Sect]

[Cult Characteristics: Dark Matter. Cultists of the Black Sun can obtain a spiritual power called Dark Matter through a ritual. This power, lurking in the shadows, possesses immense destructive force and can significantly enhance the host's spirituality. Furthermore, it can strengthen itself by continuously absorbing dark energy. First stage: Possessing a spiritual body; Second stage: The Dark Matter spiritual body can transform into various simple forms; Third stage: The Dark Matter transforms into a living Black Spirit; as long as the Black Spirit exists, the host is immortal; Fourth stage: The Dark Matter can transform into those it consumes as servants of the host; Fifth stage: The Dark Matter may even become the incarnation of the Black Sun on Earth, exhibiting divinity…]

[Sect Characteristics: A continuous flow of spirituality. The Black Sun is the god of spirituality and art, and Black Sun followers often achieve profound accomplishments in the arts. It has an attractiveness bonus for people in the arts.]

[Sect Trait: Ignition. A dangerous ignition ritual must be performed annually. Survival strengthens the power of the Dark Matter. Multiple successful ignitions result in becoming a chosen one of the Mithraic Black Sun. Failure to perform the ritual or failure to participate within the allotted time will result in spontaneous combustion and death.]

[Sect Characteristics: Soul Solidification. The souls of Black Sun believers are resilient and inviolable. They possess strong resistance to mental attacks, are difficult to hypnotize, their souls are difficult to leave their bodies, and their resistance to vengeful spirits is increased.]

As expected, it is a legitimate "secret sect" organization, just like Lu Jingxi's previous understanding of secret sects in the game - any attempt to peek into forbidden knowledge will inevitably involve great risks.

If they cannot evolve, will they be sacrificed, burned as kindling for the souls of others, and die?

Just as Lu Jingxi was checking the various system panels, the strange ritual below was nearing its end, and the system notification sounded in Lu Jingxi's ear again:

[Main Quest Released: Develop your cult, recruit more followers, and increase your cult's membership to 1000 to become a Level 2 cult! Rewards: 14500 Nightmare Points, one chance to draw a mysterious item, and increased favorability with the Black Sun Cult.]

[Side Quest Released: How Did I Die? Investigate the cause of death of the previous host of this body and eliminate the hidden dangers around you. Reward: Exclusive skill of the leader of the secret sect, Walk in the Ghostly Realm.]

[Daily Quest Released: Secret Cult Ceremony. To spread the influence of the Black Sun, a Black Sun ignition ceremony will be held in Japan. Rewards: 1000 Nightmare Points, 1% experience for Black Spirits, and attribute boosts for surviving Black Sun cultists.]

PS: Dear readers, I'm back! Please recommend and add to your favorites!!! Two updates daily, minimum 4,000 words, I'll update like crazy!

PS2: The beginning might remind you a bit of that Japanese villain novel. That's because the author didn't know how to start a good story, so they simply referenced it in terms of plot structure. But the content after chapter 10 is completely different, as you'll see as you read on.

Section 2, Chapter 2: What Did I Do?

In the secluded and gloomy secret cult base, the stunningly beautiful girl sitting on the altar maintained an icy composure on her face, but her heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

He just started a game, but unexpectedly, he was transported to a different world within the game that seemed to be Japan, and became the leader of a sinister cult.

Moreover, this seemingly ordinary high school girl appears to have multiple identities, each with its own hidden problems. How did an insider become the leader of a secret cult?
