This is Antal City, known as the “Adventurer’s Paradise” and “Sin’s Borderland.” Solo adventurers must carefully plan their survival going forward.
Ye Lian dragged his legs, which felt like lead, through Antal City’s maze-like alleys.
He moved away from the inn, following his own will to leave them.
He walked through the city’s alleys for a long time, accompanied by a cold, wind-driven rain that started midway.
The money pouch Aisha had given him was bulging; he could easily find a good inn and enjoy a hearty meal.
But right now, he didn’t want to touch that money. He just wanted to run aimlessly through the city to vent his grief and anger.
The cold rain fell on him, gradually draining his body heat. He ran faster and faster, no longer able to tell if he was wet with rain, mud, or sweat…
When his stamina ran out, he plopped down on the ground, gasping for air.
He looked up, and the clouds happened to part at that moment.
The bright, silvery moon on the horizon deeply captivated him.
‘The full moon night in another world… doesn’t seem any different from Blue Star.’ He muttered to himself.
But for some reason, he couldn’t tear his gaze away from the full moon, staring blankly at it, lost in thought.
It was as if this full moon truly possessed a different kind of magic.
Or perhaps it had some inextricable connection to the Fox Clan?
In his daze, he seemed to see the bright moon before him transform into a blood moon.
His head throbbed with pain, as if flashes of a blood-splattered courtyard and broken city walls raced through his mind, accompanied by the clashing of weapons and the roar of battle cries…
This moment didn’t seem like a coincidence.
In his past life as a gamer, he had heard of a hidden game guide.
There was an ancient seal slumbering within the bloodline of the Fox Clan, which could potentially be activated on a full moon night.
Could it be… now?!
Then, a dialog box prompt appeared before Ye Lian.
[Detected that host meets target: Yelena Moon Tail, about to activate Fox Clan secret treasure “Myriad Food Box,” “Gender Swap · Five Senses Deprivation” secret technique seal is released, true form will be restored.]
“What the hell…”
At this moment, on the night of the full moon when he turned 18, a series of conditions were being met, activating the seal that had slumbered deep in his bloodline for over a decade.
On his chest, the protective charm pendant whose origin he didn’t know suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.
A floating lunch box item appeared from the pendant.
The invisible shackles deep within his bloodline shattered with a roar, and an unprecedented feeling of relief washed over his entire body.
At the center of the light, the originally frail boy’s body was undergoing changes that defied common sense.
All male features faded away; her bones were being reshaped, and her entire body became slender and supple.
The originally rough skin became smooth and delicate at a visible rate, fair as snow and creamy as lotion, like an exquisite work of art.
The unkempt short hair grew wildly, turning into a waterfall of pitch-black long hair, swaying in the wind within the glow.
The light dissipated.
In the deep alley, the boy named Ye Lian was nowhere to be seen.
In his place stood this breathtakingly beautiful girl named Yelena Moon Tail.
Even though she wore loose men’s clothing, it couldn’t hide her face, which was now enough to put all other beauties to shame.
Her previously dull eyes had become mesmerizing pomegranate-red vertical pupils, with slightly uptipped corners, radiating an innate seductiveness.
Behind her, the phantom images of nine ink-black fox tails swayed gently like blooming lotuses.
After the first awakening of her bloodline, a powerful surge of magical energy erupted.
But before long, the nine phantom fox tails vanished, leaving only one fluffy, pitch-black fox tail wagging restlessly.
“Phew~ It’s over… Huh? Whose voice is that?!”
Yelena noticed something strange the moment she spoke. This crisp, lark-like feminine voice was coming from her own throat…
She found it hard to accept her current situation, but the facts before her repeatedly reminded her that this was all real.
The puddle on the ground reflected her pretty face. She looked down and subconsciously weighed the two “snowy mochi” on her chest.
A massive cloud of steam burst from the top of her head.
‘Oh my god, I’m only 18…’
‘By Blue Star standards, this is probably more than a D… At least an E, right?…’
She reached down to the familiar area between her legs, and sure enough, the familiar item was gone…
‘It’s all over, all over! Ugh!’
‘My Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon… why is it gone!!’
Yelena was immersed in the grief of losing her “brother,” not noticing that a rich, strange fragrance mixed with rose and musk had already permeated the entire alley, centered on her.
Soon, a tall, fiery red figure appeared at the alley entrance.
She had been drawn by both the magical energy and the scent.
The newcomer was a female swordsman with an extremely hot figure, wearing a custom-tailored red tight leather armor that accentuated her exaggerated bust and curvy hips to the fullest.
A mane of wild, deep red hair, as proud as a lion’s, was carelessly loose. At her waist hung a Japanese nodachi.
That sword was fully two meters long. The blade could sense her magical power, emitting a blazing red light even in the night—a style completely unlike Aisha’s rapier.
The current Sword Saint, Yvette von Astreia.
Also the sworn enemy of the Parisio Family, Aisha’s lifelong rival.
Her actions were never dictated by the Kingdom or the Holy See. Her consistently maverick style had earned the displeasure of many nobles.
The head of the Astreia Family, who never formed factions or cliques, had recently followed her own heart to the border city of Antal, merely hoping to do her small part when the Demon Race invaded.
Today, Yvette had originally planned to head to the nearby Lord’s Mansion to discuss exterminating monsters, but she was drawn by a sudden burst of life energy.
And within that energy was a residual magical trace from Aisha Parisio—one she found both familiar and loathsome.
“Lady Yvette, you’ve changed course? Do you need my company?”
The battle maid Anna beside her had first sensed that unfamiliar energy.
“No need. Anna, go on ahead to the Lord’s Mansion. I’ll be there shortly.”
She left the carriage alone and followed the trail, arriving at a sight that would make any man’s blood race.
In this dirty, rundown alley, there was a stunning fox girl completely at odds with her surroundings.
“Is this… a Nine-Tailed Black Fox? The rarest and most noble of them all?”
“So beautiful…”
Yvette felt as if her heart had been struck in an instant, pounding wildly, her pale cheeks flushed crimson.
Yvette, struck by love at first sight 💘, murmured softly as she walked closer.
