The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

[PS: I've slightly revised and am now publishing the item tiers, from lowest to highest: White, Green, Blue, Rare (Purple), Epic (Orange), Legendary (Gold), ???]

[2: I'll upload a character design for Zhai Nan later. It's just something I wrote casually, so take it with a grain of salt. If people actually like Zhai Nan after I finish writing it, I'll definitely improve it~ See you tomorrow, I'm waiting for a recommendation spot and a Hangzhou Comic Con! (laughs)]

[Character Design, Zhai Nan]

The word "otaku" sounds similar to "otaku" in Chinese. In most people's first impression, it's definitely a shut-in who is obsessed with all kinds of anime and games, and whose only specialty is gaming.

I was physically weak from a young age and didn't like sports, but I paid attention to cleanliness and hygiene. I was able to perfectly balance personal tidiness with mental laziness, which is why I have fair skin. My limbs and frame are small, and I can't gain weight easily, so I have a slender figure, which makes my arms and hands appear delicate.

Oh, and most importantly, he has a handsome appearance. When he dresses up as a woman and acts cute, it's hard for people to mistake him for a man.

During his junior and senior high school years, Zhai Nan was always indulging in daydreams and acting like a typical teenager. He always felt different from his peers and his ideal was to find a girlfriend who shared similar interests and topics of conversation. However, he hasn't found one yet because girls say that shut-ins are disgusting, which makes him lack the courage to confess his feelings. He's also afraid of being rejected.

Zhai Nan has a dark past. During the summer vacation after her first year of high school, she became obsessed with dressing up as a futa (a type of female impersonator) and even made a considerable amount of money by livestreaming on an app. Her parents, who got off work early, discovered this and forced her to reform and start anew.

[The author, who has no money, no talent, and can't afford an artist, has opted to use a game illustration to get by. Please don't criticize if you don't like it~]

Finally, senior year of high school was over, and the college entrance exam was finally over. That night, Zhai Nan happily turned on his computer, making plans to catch up on anime while downloading games, when he accidentally clicked on a pop-up and was transported to another world.

mmp…

Full of confidence in the future (just kidding!), Xiaoyue-san, wearing headphones and listening attentively to aLIEz, wrote this rambling personal reflection on the "University Students' Career Development and Employment Guidance" course.

Just something I wrote randomly, take it with a grain of salt~ (Seriously)

【Ta16 re: A Human Adventure Starting from Zero】

The time was dusk the following day.

The wasteland soul escaped, but a harsh reality lay before it.

That is, it can't go back! After several dragons were stranded in the human world because the purity of 'Mana' (a type of energy) was too low, resulting in insufficient power to open the portal, this weak villainous extra can't go back either!

Because the Demon Space Stone was destroyed!

Damn it, this human world not only has a lot of dragons, but also a super terrifying hot-weapon-wielding beautiful girl! Less than a day after the wasteland descended upon this world, it has already been beaten to the point of doubting its own existence.

"Boss, I can't go back!" As mentioned before, the soul of the Wasteland clone is connected to the soul of the Wasteland God. Now, the Wasteland is using this method to denounce the evil of human society and its own fate.

"Boss, please let me go back! I can't fucking stay in this shitty place for another second!"

"Useless." The God of Wasteland transmitted only two words through his divine soul, and then ignored it, leaving it to fend for itself in the human world.

The wasteland spirit knew that its leader had completely abandoned it... It was a sad story, but life had to go on. It thought, "I'll just possess any other body and find a place to settle down."

What else can be done about the wasteland? The human world is so clean everywhere, there are neither beautiful death swamps nor pretty man-eating flower gardens, only the stinking garbage dumps are barely habitable.

Desperately concealing its soul power, it cautiously wandered through the empty, sparsely populated streets. Wasteland quickly spotted a target, judging by its lifeless, dull eyes and the surrounding aura of deathly weariness.

Wasteland deduced that he must be a programmer who was lost in life and disillusioned with reality. Usually, such people have weak wills and may even have suicidal thoughts under the torment of working overtime day after day. Logically speaking, their spiritual strength is not very strong either.

It should be easy for them to be possessed.

Very well, it's your choice. Become my new host body, Wasteland Lord!

The soul, resembling a ball of yarn, hopped and skipped closer to Kobayashi, who had just finished get off work. Although this wasteland creature had never possessed a body, common sense dictates that it should simply rush into the body and squeeze out the original owner's soul or devour it directly!

but.

When Wasteland's soul jumped onto Kobayashi's body and tried to squeeze in, it was suddenly repelled by a force. Wasteland felt a sense of familiarity and awe towards the attribute of this force that repelled it, making it dare not move rashly again.

The deep black light flashed and disappeared in an instant, but was caught by the wasteland's keen eyes. It was a pendant hanging on the human's chest, shaped like a black dragon with outstretched wings.

The wasteland assumes it's a lucky find for this human. She'll definitely take a shower when she gets home, and she'll definitely take off her clothes to shower! She'll even take the pendant off!

Wasteland quickly calculated in its mind and suddenly had an even bolder idea: it not only wanted to possess the body, but also to get its hands on this pendant that contained evil power!

What the wasteland didn't know was that this pendant was actually a charm that Thor made especially for Kobayashi after he saw Elma give her the charm and got jealous of the sea dragon girl. It was said that wearing it would bring the protection of an evil god.

Kobayashi said she didn't want to wear such a thing, but her body betrayed her by wearing it anyway. After all, it was Tohru's sincere wish, just like that day—

……

Tohru: Kobayashi, I can be very willful... Even so, I've been very restrained and patient... But isn't this going too far? I also want to work harder and crave more praise... I wish... you could pat my head...

Because of the height difference, Kobayashi had to stand on tiptoe to barely place his hand on Thor's head: "Oh, well... I couldn't make it any more obvious. Please understand." As he spoke, Kobayashi turned his head to the side, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I accept it." Thor lowered her head shyly, a sweet smile blooming on her face, thinking to herself, "Kobayashi, this is enough."

……

If they had known beforehand that this human family had a guy named Thor, they would have run as far away from the wasteland as possible, and designated the area within a hundred miles of this place as a restricted zone with an SSS level of danger, keeping their distance.

But it wasn't too late. Following Xiaolin into the apartment, they stopped at a door. Xiaolin opened the door, unloaded her work bags and clothes, and shouted into the room as if liberated, "I'm back!"

A dragon maid came out to greet him with a bright smile, and the sight of her huge, swaying dragon tail sent a shiver down the spine of the wasteland dweller who was peeking through the door.

"Kobayashi-chan, you've worked hard! Welcome back!"

"Xiaolin, Xiaolin!" Another cute little girl in a blue gothic outfit ran out after Thor, tugging at Xiaolin's clothes and saying, "It's terrible, Xiaolin, come quick! I won a shiny gold treasure at the school sports meet!"

"Yeah, I don't know what it is, but it looks really valuable! Looks like the school isn't all stingy after all," Thor chimed in.

Kobayashi probably already guessed what it was. When Kanna pulled him over to take a look, sure enough, the so-called glittering treasure was just a few certificates... which are very cheap things for humans.

After patting Kanna's head, Kobayashi praised her, "This kind of treasure is called a certificate. It's a great testament to Kanna, so you must keep it safe."

"Wow!" Kanna exclaimed adorably, then nodded seriously. "Yes, Kanna will definitely keep it safe!"

“But…” Thor often couldn’t help but ask curiously. She looked up, her right hand touching her chin as if deep in thought, “What aspect of Kanna’s is it? If it’s about destroying the world, I feel like I could get an award too…”

"Don't destroy it!" Kobayashi was speechless for a moment, then pondered for a while before revealing a warm smile and explaining softly.

"...I think that Kanna truly gained the recognition of her teachers and classmates through her efforts, so it proves Kanna's ability to become good partners and good friends with humans."

------

The wasteland souls outside trembled. Although Kanna only had a cute blue horn and a ball-shaped tail, how could she not sense the noble and majestic soul that was a dragon?

The most terrifying one is Thor. The legend of Thor, the daughter of the Emperor of the End, is extremely famous in another world, though it is all about the infamous infamy associated with keywords such as "destruction," "slaughter," "tyranny," "evil," and "Tyrannomon."

"What the hell?! It's the Ultimate Evil Dragon!! And a maid version of the Ultimate Evil Dragon!!" Wasteland was shocked.

A while later

With his worldview shattered and his soul wounded and bewildered, the wasteland departed in despair, continuing to wander the streets aimlessly in search of his next possession target.

Although it had already given up hope for this perilous human world, which was even more dangerous than the village of heroes.

Because the soul is an ethereal entity, it can pass through walls and burrow underground, and its floating speed is incredibly fast. After wandering aimlessly around the wasteland for a while, the soul seemed to have arrived at a very strange place.

Damp, dark, filthy, with lingering nauseating smells and odors in the air, yet these things brightened the eyes of the wasteland, instantly elevating their souls. They never imagined that such a paradise could be hidden in the human world.

The layout and furnishings are so familiar... In both worlds, this kind of place has a common name: prison.

If there's any difference, the prisons in the wasteland world have more and harsher torture instruments, and they use magic lamps, while here they use electric lamps.

"Call the landlord...!"

—"I'll take it! Double it! Double it all! Open hand!"

The sudden sound startled the wasteland.

The sound came from a relatively tidy single room, complete with a household toilet, a Simmons bed, and even a computer and internet connection. It was practically a VIP 8 in prison, an overly conspicuous and supreme existence.

Inside, a middle-aged man with a stubble beard and greasy hair, yet looking quite energetic, was idly playing Dou Dizhu (a card game). It was unclear whether he was using a VPN or not, but he was actually playing a Chinese game called Penguin in a Japanese prison.

It's obvious that the uncle isn't as idiotic and stupid as everyone thinks; on the contrary, his calculations are much more sophisticated than most people's. And... he had seen Dragon Maid before becoming a reincarnator.

It's estimated that only Ye Qiu and Zuo Shi have never seen Maid Dragon.

Of course, none of that matters. The uncle also made a fortune through the convenience of the reincarnation shop, and successively bribed the director of the Hell Patrol and the deputy director of the police station, and then lived a carefree life in prison.

If his fellow reincarnated teammates come to visit him in prison, the old man will change to a simpler prison, put on a sorrowful, repentant, and tearful expression, and with his disheveled appearance, they will definitely exclude him if they want to team up to complete the mission. If he really encounters some evil dragon's revenge, the old man can also escape unscathed.

So... team missions are really awesome!

The uncle's first plan was to wait for good news. If they failed, the uncle, who knew the plot well, would make one last attempt... Actually, it was simple: just stop Kobayashi from trying to persuade him with words when the End Emperor and Thor were fighting.

How to stop it? That's a good question. Actually, it's not complicated. Just blow up the nearby power plant when the plot is about to end. Kanna won't be able to charge her batteries and won't have the strength to take Kobayashi there.

So, the uncle always felt like he was the main character.

Now, the wasteland has its eye on this protagonist. Not only is the prison environment perfect, but the possessing uncle also comes with special prison privileges. Is there any better possession target than him?

No.

The wasteland soul was eager to try, and with a burst of energy, it soared into the sky, its spherical soul directly plunging into the old man's body.

While playing cards, he suddenly froze, then fell straight back, his body convulsing and spasming on the bed. His hands trembled as he pressed them against his forehead, where the veins bulged and sprang like dragons, as if he were enduring the greatest pain of his life.

"Hurry up, the flowers are withering from waiting!" No matter how much the two farmers on the computer urged them, the only response was the 30-second time limit robot.

Soon, the patrolling prison guards discovered it, but did not dare to act on their own. Instead, they made a phone call to the deputy director, who had been specifically instructed to treat the uncle well. Shortly afterward, a team of military doctors and forensic doctors rushed over, opened the cell door, and filed in.

The crowd gathered around, and saw that the man's pupils were unfocused, the whites of his eyes were stained with a filthy color, and his pupils had become terrifying. Coupled with his contorted expression due to excruciating pain, and his skin that had inexplicably aged and even peeled off...

"Sigh, it's probably hopeless..." The doctor shook his head and sighed.

Everyone sighed in unison. At that moment, the strange light in the uncle's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his expression relaxed. Beneath the shed, wrinkled skin, there was a bright and shiny new skin.

Whoosh! The uncle suddenly sat up straight on the bed, and a smile of pleasure, like that of a devil humiliating an angel, gradually appeared on his face.

Everyone else just found it unbelievable and amazing, but only the uncle could see the personal information projected onto the void by the Reincarnation Watch (the police returned the watch after Ye Qiu's prison visit).

"Li Shichen"

"Remaining lifespan: 64 years"

Ability: Impure World Power

Rebirth from Impure Land (It backfired on the soul of the Wasteland, thus gaining its power. As long as you are not completely dead and have enough 'impure land' in your body, even the most severe injuries can heal in a very short time).
