Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The three aircraft that rushed close showed no sign of slowing down and, despite the dense barrage of fire, simply rammed straight into him.

Rumble, rumble—

The spaceship convulsed again.

Even with its robust structure, Anran's suicidal collision was utterly unstoppable at this moment.

The ship's roof, which had been hit, immediately split open with a huge gash, and An Ran saw three awesome, special-effect-packed figures suddenly jump out from the center where light and smoke met.

They gracefully passed through the clouds and smoke, gracefully leaped into the large hole, gracefully landed, and then gracefully knocked down all the pirates gathered nearby.

"..."

You guys are all so awesome, so who's the real protagonist?

"Battle area restricted, pirate princess's strength reduced by 50%, spaceship about to disintegrate, the climax of the trailer is coming soon." The narrator popped up at the right time.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

Anran was completely devastated.

Is this a game or a movie?

"Princess, I will arrange a counterattack immediately!" Juliana walked away with a serious expression.

"and many more……"

But it was too late for An Ran to call out; the road to the floating cabin was already blocked. Well, it seems she won't be able to escape even if she wants to, unless she beats those pretentious guys outside to death.

An Ran took a deep breath. With her strength, there wouldn't be any problem.

"boom!"

Just then, three people suddenly entered, and one of the swordsmen cleaved open the wall beside him with a single slash.

One of the women accompanying An Ran immediately took out several glowing spheres from her backpack and threw them in all directions. The loud explosions made An Ran want to cover her ears.

A white light enveloped the entire world. After opening her glasses, An Ran found herself in front of a broken passage.

And those three show-offs were standing on the other side of the passage.

"A clash between justice and evil, this is the ultimate war where honor is at stake!" The narrator jumps in again.

Fuck your grandpa.

This narrator is toxic.

"An Ran, today you will perish here!"

The swordsman maintained a cool expression, while his companions unconsciously began striking poses.

No, director, this script looks so awkward.

"Then let's give it a try!"

"An Ran" replied with a cold laugh.

Emmm...

and many more.

An Ran suddenly realized she was out of control. "This wasn't me!"

I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.

"Suffer to death!"

The cold, blue light instantly filled the entire passageway. The sudden, powerful attack made An Ran's eyes widen. This destructive power, if it came into contact with her, would surely cause her serious injury.

You should definitely get out of the way at this point.

click!

However, the moment this thought arose, An Ran suddenly found the world frozen, and a huge line of text with special effects appeared before her eyes—

"Final announcement! On June 6th, [Night of the Stars] will launch its full open beta. I'll be waiting for you in the starry sea!"

Hmm?

Narrator: "After a fierce battle, the expeditionary force successfully annihilated the Other Shore Flower Star Pirate Crew, and the pirate princess An Ran was not spared either. However, has the land where the stars slumber truly returned to peace?"

No, how could I have died?

And what exactly made this battle so difficult?

How did I become the BOSS who only exists in the trailer?

Chapter 03: A Girl with No Money, No Connections, and No Success; A Poor Start

"Two ounces of liquor, living a muddled life, my life is over." A middle-aged man with a flushed face and unsteady steps, looking like a "corporate slave," staggered through the alley.

"If you can't even afford a hundred, then what are you doing here? Go back home and find your mother to drink milk!" In the dilapidated building next door, a pale-faced young man suddenly fell out of the stairwell. Immediately afterward, a "robust" middle-aged woman walked out with her hands on her hips, pointing at the young man while cursing.

It seemed she wanted to stomp on it a couple more times, revealing her true nature as a "tiger mom."

"Don't touch me, don't touch me! No, no, don't move your feet either."

The young man frantically tried to defend himself, but in the end he was no match for the "robust" middle-aged woman and could only flee in disarray.

"Get lost! You took advantage of me and still dare to grumble? Don't let me see you again!"

A slipper flew out and hit the young man squarely on the back of the head.

Pedestrians on the street were already used to this, because this area was just such a strange place, occasionally mixed with some trivial matters of daily life.

Alan Cluster 1886, Twin Moon City, an ordinary trading city in the eastern part of the Canyon Continent.

In a small alley in the old city, Anran sat on a dilapidated bench and looked up at the sky.

A network of intersecting lines.

Electric wires—clotheslines, wires for fixing things, wires of incomprehensible purpose—divided the somewhat gloomy sky into countless irregular little areas.

A bird flew by screeching, and then a stone flew out of a window, but missed the bird and landed on the awning below.

This is absolutely infuriating! Why are there so many incredibly boring people around me?

What's even more infuriating is that I suddenly became a woman out of nowhere.

Turning into a woman is one thing, but a pirate princess with explosive fighting power is quite nice. How did she become the BOSS who only exists in the trailer in less than two minutes?

They killed off the game before it even started with a forced narration. What's the point of playing this?

As a result, due to the game's ridiculous plot twists, the overpowered pirate princess Anran's soul was reborn here for unknown reasons.

A poor girl who makes a living selling cakes in the old town.

A girl with no parents and no money.

The narrator says that the organization has decided that you will be the final boss of the "Night of the Stars" 2.0 version.

Revenge from the other side.

This feeling of being handpicked is really unpleasant.

An Ran: Give me a chance!

Narrator: How can I give you a chance?

Anran: I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person.

Narrator: No way.

Anran: ++, don't push me!

Narrator: Work hard, this is only version V0.9, you have a long time ahead of you.

"..."

An Ran mentally rehearsed the conversation and felt utterly hopeless.

She'll probably only live until version 2.0.

No, but Anran quickly rallied her spirits.

The narrator who frequently appears in the trailer has never actually appeared; the above is all imagined by Anran after a sudden flood of information in her mind.

Although this NPC was originally intended to be the final boss of version 2.0, as long as you don't go in that direction, it'll be fine.

She can choose to be a chef, but does that mean a chef can become the big boss in "Night of the Stars"?

Please, this isn't a food anime.

It seems quite feasible.

Life still holds hope, unlike the gloomy sky.

6月1日，距离【群星之夜】正式的6月6号还有5天。

Five days from now, the world of [Night of the Stars] will undergo a dramatic change. The butterfly effect caused by the players will slowly lead this world in an unpredictable direction.

No NPC knew about this, and they weren't even surprised by the player's arrival, except for Anran.

"I might be like a prophet."

Thinking about it this way, An Ran felt really awesome.

Because she has a complete roadmap for the rise of the big boss "An Ran" in her mind, as well as a lot of resources and all the knowledge that the former pirate princess "An Ran" has hidden.

This is a cheat code included with the game.

Unfortunately, she doesn't need any of these things for the time being.

Anran's opportunity to rise to prominence did not lie in Twin Moon City, or even in 1886. As poor as she was, she couldn't afford a ticket to another planet, let alone a high-speed train.

They could only make a meager living by selling cakes.

A flag was stuck on the handcart in front of him, with five large characters written on it in neat handwriting.

An Kee Pastry Shop!

A cake seller.

When An Ran finally realized her current identity, she was genuinely sweating.

I'm penniless in the real world, so why am I still so poor in the game? I've only been living the life of the rich for a few minutes, and I haven't even experienced anything yet.
