Transformed into the leader of an esoteric sect in Japan

Kurosawa Shizuki plans to wait another day; the automatically generated Nightmare Points will be enough for her to directly exchange for the Void Blade Style.

While Kurosawa Shizuki was browsing the system shop to pass the time, Nakamura Yukise had already driven her car into a quiet residential area close to the main road.

The road is lined with low-rise apartment buildings that are completely unremarkable, and it would be easy to get lost if you walked through them.

Finally, it stopped in front of a four-story apartment building deep inside the residential area.

"Saintess Kurosawa, we've arrived." Nakamura Yukise opened the car door for Kurosawa Shizuki.

Kurosawa Shizuki looked up at the four-story small apartment building made of reinforced concrete. It looked quite old, with five suites on each floor. It looked like the kind of apartment building that was specifically for rent.

There won't be any elevators, the handrails upstairs are covered in rust, and the notice board downstairs is plastered with all sorts of messy little advertisements. Even standing downstairs, it's easy to see that none of the apartments can be very big.

Kurosawa Shizuki felt a sense of inexplicable disparity. The former saintess of the prestigious Mithraic Black Sun Order actually lived in such a place.

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s always surprising,” Nakamura Yukise bowed deeply to Kurosawa Shizuki again, then said with a smile, “Truly worthy of being called the Saintess Kurosawa, living a life of seclusion in the city. No one could have imagined that the highest leader of the Heikyo Order would live in such a place.”

Kurosawa Shizuki seemed thoughtful. Was it really just to cover up the truth? As a high school student, living in a nice place would easily attract attention? Were there any deeper reasons?

"So, I'll take my leave now?" Seeing that Kurosawa Shizuki wasn't going to pay attention to her, Nakamura Yukise didn't want to make a fool of herself by continuing. "If your sister sees us together, it will probably cause quite a bit of trouble, right? After all, we have to keep this a secret for her safety."

Huh? Kurosawa Shizuki suddenly felt a headache coming on. I have a younger sister in my house?

What should we do? She's not the original owner of this body, and she doesn't have any memories of the original owner left in her mind. She might be able to fool these brainless cultists, but when she encounters her real relatives, there's probably no way she can hide it from them.

Kurosawa Shizuki took out the key to her apartment from her pocket and saw the apartment number "403" marked on it. She hesitated for a long time, unsure whether to go back or not.

Just as she was lost in thought, a soft, sweet girl's voice suddenly rang out in front of her, asking in a slightly annoyed tone:

"Sister, has your condition worsened again? You can't even remember the way home?"

P.S., the word count is just right at 2,000 words, not too many, not too few, I feel good.

Chapter 10, Section 10: This formidable enemy sounds terrifying!

Kurosawa Shizuki looked at the little girl in front of her with a blank expression.

A petite little girl, wearing a blue and white elementary school uniform, a white shirt paired with a blue-gray suspender skirt, looks no more than ten years old. She has a single ponytail that bounces at the back of her head, and her chubby little face has cute dimples, making you want to pinch her cheeks.

Her eyes and brows bear a striking resemblance to Shizuka Kurosawa, but she is more youthful and undeniably a beauty. Yet, she is now wearing a serious expression, behaving like a little adult.

She held an aluminum cane in her left hand, seemingly needing to lean on it to stand. Looking down, Kurosawa Shizuki noticed that the little girl's left leg was fitted with a wooden prosthetic leg.

Although she was disabled, she stood very straight and bit her lip, making it seem as if the little girl was sulking.

Seeing Kurosawa Shizuki staring blankly at her, he limped over to her with his cane and waved his right hand in front of her eyes:

"No way, it really got this bad?" she cried out in panic. "Big sister, do you remember me?"

"Are you my sister?" Kurosawa Shizuki tilted her head and asked tentatively. Judging from the little girl's words, the original owner seemed to have contracted some kind of illness before she was possessed.

"So, what's my name?" The little girl looked at Kurosawa Shizuki nervously.

"Ugh—" Kurosawa Shizuki rubbed her forehead, racking her brains to try and dig out a name from her empty brain, but she couldn't remember anything.

As if by some strange twist of fate, she opened the system panel in her field of vision, and her gaze suddenly lingered on the followers area of ​​the esoteric cult template:

[Cult members: 482 novice believers "Raven", 112 senior believers "Shadowless", 7 fanatics "Lion", 1 hidden believer, and 1 chosen one "Bride".]

Hiding the follower interface and opening a subpage, she found a name with purple quality and instinctively read it aloud:

"Kurosawa... Ai? Ai-chan?"

"That's wonderful! Thank goodness, big sister, you still remember me!" A bright smile bloomed on Kurosawa Ai's little face, but then, a shadow of gloom appeared in that smile:

"Then... Sister, do you still remember our ultimate goal in coming to Pingjing?"

The ultimate goal... Kurosawa Shizuki racked her brains but couldn't find any relevant information, and this information obviously couldn't be found from the system either.

Kurosawa Ai waited for Kurosawa Shizuki for a full two minutes with an expressionless face, but in the end, Kurosawa Shizuki remained silent.

"Sigh... Is it still getting worse after all?" Kurosawa Ai sighed deeply. "Never mind, at least you still remember me, that's enough."

"By the way, our ultimate goal has never changed—we want to destroy all the esoteric sects in Pyeongkyo and then kill our great enemy."

Looking dejected, Kurosawa Ai turned around and limped towards the apartment stairs with her cane. "Sister, let's talk about it when we get back."

Kurosawa Shizuki followed behind the little girl who seemed to be her younger sister. Noticing that Kurosawa Ai, who had lost her left leg, might have a hard time climbing the stairs, she instinctively wanted to help her.

"No need! Sister! I've told you so many times! I can do it myself!" Ai blocked Jingxi with her right hand, turned around and glared at Jingxi. Jingxi couldn't understand why she suddenly got angry.

Ai was climbing the stairs alone, leaning on her crutch. With each step, she had to move her left prosthetic leg with difficulty. Her pace was slow. The sun was gradually setting, and the last rays of sunlight fell on Ai's small figure.

"I don't need my sister anymore... My sister is about to break down... I have to rely on myself..." As she crawled, Kurosawa Ai muttered to herself, and for some reason, she seemed a little anxious.

Kurosawa Shizuki slowly followed behind Kurosawa Ai, pondering the meaning of Kurosawa Ai's words.

"Love, what do you mean by saying I'm broken? Am I sick? And is this illness getting worse?"

The bewildered older sister followed her younger sister, who was gritting her teeth and climbing alone, step by step. Kurosawa Shizuki suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat inexplicably familiar.

"This is the third time my sister has asked me this question, but no matter how many times you ask me, I will answer as always," Ai said coldly without turning her head.

“You have been sick for three months now, sister. It’s a disease that causes you to lose yourself—your soul is being constantly eroded by a great enemy, and it’s getting a little less each day.”

"A self corrupted by a great enemy? Who is this great enemy you're referring to? Why did I get this disease?" Kurosawa Shizuki felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason.

A self completely devoured? Is this the final fate of the former owner? Is that why a transmigrator like her came to take over that empty shell of a body?

What exactly happened to my ex? Will that "illness" continue to affect me?

Moreover, the original owner had a "great enemy"? What kind of terrifying being could be regarded as a great enemy by a cult leader like the original owner?

"Sister, do you still remember our father, Kurosawa Aichi? Why did he lead us to escape to Japan, and how did he die?" Ai said somberly.

"So our father is no longer alive..."

"The Great Enemy is a named being whose name cannot be discussed. Father was once the Great Enemy's most loyal servant, but for our sake, he stole the most precious treasure from the Great Enemy—he infused three hundred years into our bodies."

"Hey, hey, hey, this development is a bit something!" Kurosawa Shizuki realized that she seemed to have heard something very impressive.

Moreover, the Named One… According to the game settings she remembered from her previous life, isn’t this the legendary title that only the sixth stage can possess? Such beings can almost be called demigods, and each one can be considered an incarnation of the gods on earth. If a god in the Netherworld were to fall, the being with the title of Named One would have the opportunity to replace that god’s name and become the new god.

In short, a candidate demigod is a so-called named being, an existence qualified to possess a divine name, enjoy sacrifices, and establish faith. Named beings are known to all who recite their names; if you are praising their name, you will inevitably be recognized by them. This is why Kurosawa Ayase said, "The name of the great enemy should not be discussed."

Did she and her beloved father steal three hundred years of time from a so-called "great enemy"? How could time be stolen? And how could it be transferred to other people's bodies at will?

To her shame, she would often inexplicably think of another great being from her past life, a being whose existence could not be discussed.

"The Great Enemy issued a kill order against the Kurosawa family, and our family embarked on a world-wide escape. In the end, we fled to Japan and reached an agreement with the local anti-suppression bureau to fight the Great Enemy together. However, two years ago, the Great Enemy personally devoured my father's existence, and my leg was also broken during that escape. However, this is far from enough for the Great Enemy. Its real target is us, or rather, the three hundred years that have been injected into our bodies."

"Could it be that the great enemy you mentioned has already found us?" Kurosawa Shizuki asked anxiously.

“Three months ago, you told me yourself, sister, that you had discovered that the apostles of the great enemy had visited Heijing. In the Netherworld, you saw the shadow of the great enemy approaching, enveloping the entire Heijing. Ghosts and gods began to riot, strange things revived, and the spirit world invaded the mortal realm. From that day on, you have been constantly losing your memory. Every day, you forget more of yourself than the day before…” Kurosawa Ai had already climbed three floors alone, her forehead covered in sweat.

Kurosawa Shizuki gradually discovers that the side quest that initially confused her is now becoming clearer. But if it's to defeat the "great enemy" Ai mentioned, is it really just a side quest?

"Did I tell you how to solve the current trouble?" Kurosawa Shizuki didn't believe that her former self would just sit and wait to die in the face of such a terrible situation.

“Sister, you said three months ago that there are only two ways to solve the problem,” Kurosawa Ai said wearily and gloomily, her ponytail bouncing with each difficult step she took: “Either we find the true form of the ‘great enemy’ and kill it with our own hands; or you, sister, must die conceptually first and transform into another life form.”

[Your side quest, "How I Died," has been completed with 15% intelligence gathering.]

It seems that, just as my younger sister said, the original owner really did take one of these two paths?

P.S., the main enemy should be a boss in the mid-to-late game, at least that's what the outline says, so I'm trying to lay the groundwork in the early stages... Actually, I'm not that confident I can really write it to the late game... *cries*

py, "My Wife is a Quadruplet"

The quadruplets looked so alike that, to avoid sleeping with the wrong ones, I simply married them all.

It's a classic Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) story with a classical Chinese writing style, and each character has a name poem.

Section 11, Chapter 11: Fingerprint-unlocked phones are so convenient!

Kurosawa Ai reached into her pocket with her right hand, seemingly looking for her keys, but Kurosawa Shizuki preemptively took out the keys she was holding in her palm and opened the door.

"So, my older sister still remembers how to open the door today." The younger sister's surprised voice came from behind, leaving Kurosawa Shizuki speechless. Could it be that the previous owner's condition had deteriorated to the point that she couldn't even remember how to open the door?

With her older sister in front and her younger sister limping behind, refusing any help, Kurosawa Shizuki finally returned to her nominal "home".

Looking around, one sees a rather cramped apartment suite, small yet exquisite, with traces of the sisters' past life everywhere.

The entire rental apartment consists of a living room of about four pings (approximately 3.3 square meters), a separate kitchen with a small bar, a three-ping (approximately 1.3 square meters) Japanese-style room, a bathroom, and a toilet.

"Sister, do you still remember our home?" Kurosawa Ai asked without much expectation.

Kurosawa Shizuki took off her shoes and stuffed her buckled leather shoes into the shoe cabinet. Then, Kurosawa Ai reluctantly took out her shoes and put them on top of the cabinet.

Kurosawa Shizuki then noticed that all of her shoes were placed on the top shelf of the shoe cabinet, while Kurosawa Ai's shoes were all placed on the bottom shelf. There was another shelf in between, and she didn't know whose shoes they belonged to.

Kurosawa Shizuki wandered aimlessly through the small rented room, trying to recall some memories through the details of the room in her empty mind, but she still couldn't remember anything.

Next to the shoe cabinet, there was a framed photo of the sisters, which seemed to have been taken at an amusement park. They looked about two or three years younger than they do now. Each of the sisters was holding a balloon. Between them, a tall, thin man with an elegant demeanor smiled and placed his hands on their heads. Kurosawa Shizuki noticed that the man's left cheek seemed to have been severely burned, and half of his face was distorted, but he still tried to appear gentle.

"Is this man our father?" Kurosawa Shizuki asked hesitantly.

"His name is Kurosawa Asahi. He is the person who loves us the most in this world. He gave everything to us. Two years ago, he faced a great enemy alone so that we could escape. After that, no one has ever seen him again."

"What exactly is this 'great enemy' you're talking about? Even if you can't say its name, you should at least have some more specific information." Kurosawa Shizuki had only heard the vague description of "great enemy" from Kurosawa Ai. Since the disappearance of the previous owner's consciousness was very likely related to this great enemy, Kurosawa Shizuki felt it was necessary to obtain more relevant information.

“I don’t know. Dad and sister, you’ve never talked to me about that guy. Maybe it’s to protect me,” Kurosawa Ai said, getting more and more mysterious. “Anyway, sister, you’ve told me more than once that before we become immortals, we won’t have the slightest chance against a great enemy. So the only thing we can do now is to do everything we can to hide ourselves from the great enemy.”

That's good. It seems that Kurosawa Shizuki has already reached the fourth stage of the Black Spirit Body right after transmigrating, and is only one level away from becoming an Immortal. Perhaps with the help of the system, she will soon become the so-called fifth stage "Immortal".

Those who practice the art of the invisible, once they truly become immortals, possess the qualifications to establish their own sect. They gain a completely new perspective on space and time, and by leaving a more stable "anchor" in the Netherworld as their spiritual foundation, they have completely transformed into another life form. As long as the immortal's "anchor" is not destroyed, the immortal will live forever. According to the game's setting, many deities who descended from the upper realm also possess at least the status of immortals. In the mystical world, transforming from a mortal into an immortal is like going from a pawn to the player.

"Let me wander around the room a bit more; maybe I'll remember something." Kurosawa Shizuki planned to check the previous owner's personal belongings; perhaps she could find something like a diary.

"Sister, this is your home too. You don't need to ask me for permission to do what you want." Kurosawa Ai sighed helplessly.

Wait a minute, Kurosawa Shizuki was stunned. How could she be so stupid! Didn't she still have her phone with her?

In modern society, the fastest way to get information about someone is definitely to check their phone number!

Sitting on the sofa, Kurosawa Shizuki took out her smartphone, pressed and held the power button, and the screen lit up: "Tertiary Technology, illuminating our lives~"

Kurosawa Ai was also a quiet person. Seeing her sister suddenly start playing on her phone, she also turned on the old-fashioned TV and started watching TV by herself.

I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye and noticed that the girl I had just met today seemed to be watching a magical girl anime. However, it seemed that the female protagonists in this anime could only transform by singing the spells aloud. During battles, the female protagonists had to sing while fighting, which felt a bit awkward, but after getting used to it, it was surprisingly cool.
