My avatar is the heroine

puff--

Yukino, who had been slashed in the neck, immediately knelt on the ground, her hands trembling as she supported herself.

"I'm not...I'm not dead, my head isn't severed." Yukino's voice trembled. "Come on."

"what!"

The second axe blow was aimed at the neck.

The girl felt dizzy and lost consciousness on the spot.

Task completion rate: 1/10

I think you'll develop psychological trauma if you continue like this. The experience of death and the experience of being injured are different.

"It's alright, you get used to dying a lot."

In this space where the concept of time can be adjusted at will, the clone can reappear as long as the system expends a little energy.

And then, in the next second, Yukino reappeared completely unharmed.

"what!"

The third axe blow struck Yukino's head again, the hard blade wedged against her neck. The girl bit her lip, raised her hand, and tapped the end of the axe.

The head fell to the ground.

Task completion rate: 2/10

Task completion rate: 3/10

Task completion rate: 4/10

……

"Finally done."

Looking at the girl lying on the ground one last time, Su Lin wiped away the cold sweat that still lingered from his shock.

"Oh, I'm so pitiful. I'm such a delicate girl, yet I have to be abused like this."

【…】

I find the system a bit baffling.

Despite the extremely bloody scene, Su Lin's heart remained largely unmoved. Compared to before, his willpower was now incredibly strong.

The next second, the nightingale appeared.

This is a six-star operator character from Arknights. Unlike other individuals, this girl is infected with a very serious Oripathy disease and has suffered unimaginable torment. As a result, her lower limb nervous system has been damaged, she has lost her memory, and her movements are very inconvenient in all aspects.

Her poor physical condition brought her pain, but correspondingly, her abilities were also exceptional. Her staff, ending in a blue birdcage, could provide powerful group healing (3 people at a time) to units within a 50-meter radius. The Sanctuary skill, retained by the system, could also grant allied characters within a 100-meter radius a significant increase in magic resistance.

Its specific capabilities are as follows:

[Group Healing: Heals individuals within a 50-meter radius (3 people at a time), with a 5-second cooldown after each heal.]

[Sanctuary: Fills a 100-meter radius area with powerful magical energy to neutralize spell damage for 5 minutes.]

[Phantom: Can be used three times a day to release a birdcage that absorbs ranged damage, forcibly attracting ranged enemies to attack. The birdcage will lose health when attacked or over time until it disappears.]

……

"Luckily, I've also played Arknights, so I know this character fairly well."

The nightingale was summoned; it was a girl with long golden hair and wearing a long dress. A small blue bird appeared out of thin air and hovered around her.

"My brain thinks so slowly."

This is a character who needs to be well protected even on the battlefield; basically, even the slightest damage can kill her.

[The dark world has been completely devoured; the system has been upgraded.]

This upgrade primarily optimizes the character's abilities and adds a new calculation system for individual strength.

The following improvements were made in other areas:

[1. Items created by Rikka Takanashi can be retained, but only those regular technological items are permitted under the rules of this world.]

[2. The main character gains weapon forging ability and can confirm the forging result through the Eye of Data.]

[3. Dress-up feature unlocked, more outfits available for Qiong Mei.]

[4. Optimized switching speed between the main body and clones; the main body can automatically switch to a clone when exposed to danger.]

[5. Yukino's self-healing and growth rates are doubled, and she no longer uses up her own training progress.]

[6. The sense of incoordination between different body parts is eliminated, and true white vision is improved.]

7. Black Eyes gains superhuman night vision.

【8. Yukino gained a small amount of intuition. 】

……

This is a major update, with a lot of useful new content.

However, more than focusing on his own growth, Su Lin was concerned that the system had actually swallowed the pitch-black world of bullets.

"Wasn't this your original plan?"

[This world's structure is unstable; absorbing it can enhance the system's deployment capabilities.]

"Well, that's fine too. After all, I've become stronger. My weakness in my original form has always made me uneasy, but now at least there's a possibility of improvement."

The initial system was really just about summoning clones; it's only now that new functions have been added, and it's slowly starting to resemble a system.

"Is everything really alright with the Supreme God? We've been arguing with that guy for so long?"

Don't worry about the rigid procedures.

"..."

As if afraid he might be worried, another message popped up on the system screen:

[Strong individuals entering different worldviews will be suppressed by the rules, which will prevent them from fully utilizing their combat abilities. For example, the German officer you killed previously only had 20% of his combat power remaining.]

"I understand, but it seems I'm not being suppressed, so are you superior to the main god?"

【Yes! 】

"..."

The possibility of traveling to the next world is already known.

It seems to be a world where peak combat power is not as strong as before.

However, this does not mean absolute safety. After all, different worlds contain all sorts of strange and bizarre abilities, and experiencing them one by one is itself a process that makes Su Lin stronger.

"But system, why did you only update Qiongmei's clothing function?"

If one person is full, the whole family isn't hungry.

"puff"

"Okay, I get it. I suddenly realized another use for clones: raising and nurturing them."

Chapter 121 Let's Play Alone

In the world of Demon Slayer, in a small town with an ancient style.

A somewhat thin-looking girl carefully hid behind a pillar, watching the strange shop across the street.

Outside the shop, there were many flower pots of different colors. Unlike other shops, this place had a gloomy atmosphere and business was not good. There was often a sign that said "out of town" hanging at the door. Only occasionally would the shop owner return, like today.

The girl would always secretly peek at the shop's door, and whenever she saw the handsome boy walk out, she would blush shyly.

However... on very rare occasions, she would see this handsome male homeowner bringing home stunningly beautiful young women... and more than one.

Those girls were so beautiful that they completely shattered her confidence.

Even the top courtesans in the nearby red-light district aren't this beautiful.

"Someone like me will never be good enough for him."

Seeing the boy close the door again and hang up the "Temporarily Closed" sign, the girl felt a pang of heartache. She mustered her courage and secretly slipped to the side of the building, carefully listening to the sounds coming from inside.

Not long after, a series of loud banging sounds, like the bed shaking, came from inside.

Even if you just imagine it, you can guess what happened inside.

"woohoo"

The girl clutched her chest and leaned against the wall in pain.

really……

Has it really come to this?

Behind the wall, a fierce and joyous revelry unfolded. But on this side, there was only utter despair and unbearable pain. The very thing he had always dreamed of was happening, so why… why wasn't he the girl involved?

She was so envious... no, so jealous, she was so sad she cried...

Why can't it be me?

Why not me?!

"Aren't you willing to give in?"

A strange man appeared beside them, pulled down his straw hat, revealing a mask underneath.

The mask was brand new, as if it had just been put on. Unlike anyone else, this person had an extremely cold demeanor, as if they came from a terrifying hell.

"I can grant you immense power, enough to kill the women who took him away, and to completely seize him by your side. But in return, you may have to endure unimaginable pain... or even death."

The voice was seductive, and the girl's expression showed some hesitation.

Although she instinctively wanted to refuse, she liked the boy too much and felt too inferior. She thought that without external help, she might never win his love.

She was truly unwilling to accept it:

"I... don't ask for anything, and I won't hurt the girl he likes. I only ask to become his concubine, even the lowest one. As long as I'm with him, I'm willing to give everything and I don't care how he treats others."

"What a humble love."

The figure behind the mask let out a emotionless sound, and at the same time offered a drop of blood to the girl.

"I'm giving you this chance. If you can withstand this drop of diluted blood, you must give your life for that person when I need it. At that time, whether you like it or not, it won't be up to you."

……

On the other side, separated by a wall.

boom!

"As expected, it won't work."

Su Lin sighed as he put down the crushed wooden stick. Qiong Mei, who was beside him, immediately rushed over with a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The creaking sound that was previously heard was actually caused by the reinforcement of the wood; after all, a good knife can't be without a sufficiently strong handle.

"However, since it's not a Nichirin Blade, its damage to demons is still limited."

That's right, he's arrived in the world of Demon Slayer. He thought he'd be in a thrilling demon-slaying battle right away, but after searching for several days, he still hasn't encountered a single demon.

He then settled down in this small house, preparing to complete the system's tasks.

The mission, of course, is to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

Now that his physical body has the potential to grow and develop, and because the system has updated the individual strength values, he can see the changes in his body in the most direct and simple way.

The current data is as follows:

Strength: 2, Spirit: 2, Constitution: 2, Resistance: 0

Training can't be as strenuous as Yukino's. Simple sword swings, running, and the lucky cards obtained from crafting weapons can quickly enhance attributes.

Three days ago, all three items were 1, and now they have all doubled.

To be honest, the system really takes good care of the main body; almost all the clones were created to protect the main body at the expense of certain interests. Only now did Su Lin gradually understand what the Restoration Girl meant when she said, "The clone is also yourself."

"Normal, intense training is fine. I'm tired, and Yukino is tired too."

"Once I'm done with this, I'll treat Yukino to something... well, that is, treat myself."

……

After tinkering for who knows how long, I finally managed to apply reinforced magic runes to the hilt. Next, I'll continue forging the blade.
