Chapter 1: After Being Kicked Out, Transforms into a Silver-Haired Beauty

“We could have done better in that fight just now. Wei Ya, why can’t you take it more seriously?”

“Even a moment’s carelessness can be fatal in battle. And Mei Fei Er, as a shield warrior, you were too reckless. If you keep charging out of formation in future dungeons, it’ll mess up the rear positions.”

After a post-clear review of the dungeon, Li Si looked at her teammates who didn’t seem to care at all, her expression stern.

This was the strongest party in the current newbie village, Border Town. 

Without a doubt, their individual skills were top-notch—the best you could find in the whole town. 

But their weaknesses and coordination were still lacking.

Arrogance. 

Disorganization. 

Recklessness. 

Treating life as if it meant nothing. 

On the surface, they seemed powerful, but in reality, they had all the ingredients for a total collapse.

If she didn’t keep a tight rein on them, they would probably never recognize their flaws.

“Um… Li Si… I think that’s enough…” The elven saint and party leader, Ao Li An Na, spoke up to stop her.

Li Si sighed, temporarily putting aside her lecturing thoughts. 

She was about to sit down when she suddenly froze.

[You have been voted out of the party – “Life Vine”]

Li Si looked at her four teammates. 

As if by unspoken agreement, they all looked away.

The spoils over the campfire still smelled of roasted meat, but it seemed this place no longer welcomed her.

“Again, huh.”

Li Si gave a bitter smile, stood up, brushed the dust off her pants, and walked away without looking back.

It had been three months since she was transported into this gal game world. 

In those three months, she had constantly sought out the main heroines, led them to grow, cleared one newbie dungeon after another with them—and every time, it ended with a vote to kick her out.

Three months, three parties, twelve heroines. 

Not a single exception.

[Adventurer Talent: Strict Father]

[Strict Father: You possess the most successful foresight, the sharpest intuition, and the strongest protective instincts.]

This was the cheat she’d been given upon arrival. 

A talent like a strict father, letting her see every teammate’s flaws and shortcomings as clearly as if they were her own children. 

As long as she joined a party, the ability activated automatically.

It came with a shop system. 

Every time she earned a teammate’s approval, she got one shop currency: a “Child Coin.”

But so far, not a single person had ever acknowledged this ability.

Li Si was used to it by now. 

It seemed no one liked being lectured. 

But if she didn’t make her stance clear, those born-as-prodigy teammates would probably never take things seriously.

Because in this game world, all deaths could be undone by respawning at revival points. 

To the natives, dying just meant losing the dungeon rewards.

But that wasn’t right. 

This easygoing attitude toward death was about to change.

The Holy Court at the center of the world would collapse. 

Dark power would corrupt the goddess. 

When that happened, death would become real.

If they kept treating monsters like a game until then, the results would be irreversible.

But what could she do about it?

Li Si stopped walking. 

Without realizing it, she had passed through the forest and arrived at a lakeside.

The lake shimmered, reflecting the moon that had just climbed into the sky.

A gentle evening breeze blew by, bringing the peaceful scent of the forest.

This was the safe zone covered by Border Town’s barrier. 

Here, she could temporarily drop her battle stance.

Li Si looked down at the lake surface. 

In the water was reflected a silver-haired, delicate face. 

Her brows were sharp as swords, her lips smooth as a sheath—the whole face, under a flat expression, was stiff and rigid.

“Completely… gone, huh.”

Li Si touched her throat. 

The male protrusion that symbolized masculinity had vanished entirely, leaving behind a smooth, pale neck.

The price of being transported here wasn’t just losing her normal life from the original world. 

This body kept changing, too.

And those changes were tied to the Adventurer Talent.

[Strict Father]

Approval: 30%

Disappointment: 100%

Beneath the talent’s description, two progress bars—one blue, one red—stood out clearly.

The blue bar represented approval. 

It had stopped at 30% and never moved again. 

Meanwhile, the red disappointment bar increased drastically every time she was voted out of a party.

Now it was finally full.

Li Si had been worrying about what would happen when this bar maxed out. 

But after adapting over these past few months, she had gradually guessed the final outcome.

Li Si took off her armor.

Beneath the flat clothing, glaring curves were exposed.

Piece by piece, the clothes came off, revealing a slender, slightly lean female figure reflected on the lake’s surface.

“Just as I thought…”

Because this was a gal game, all player avatars were female. 

When she first arrived, Li Si had been shocked to still have a male body. 

But as she lived on, that shock turned into anxiety, and finally into helpless acceptance.

That Strict Father system was probably her only hope of keeping her male form before the transformation. 

Unfortunately, she hadn’t held on.

She had tried so hard. 

All three heroines’ parties had cleared the newbie village’s toughest dungeons under her command. 

They were all getting stronger. 

So why wouldn’t anyone acknowledge her?

“Damn it! Damn it!”

Li Si angrily threw herself into the water. 

Three months, and she had ultimately failed to protect what was most precious.

Now, the world’s rule power had completely turned her into a girl.

What made it worse was that this girl had silver hair, a soft doll-like face, and was a loli! 

Not at all her favorite mature beauty type!

[Welcome to the Kingdom of Minos]

[Player: Li Si]

[Race: Human]

[Level: 10 (2000/10000)]

[Class: Warrior]

[Strength: 15 (Equipment +3)]

[Magic: 13 (Equipment +3)]

[Agility: 12 (Equipment +1)]

[Perception: 8 (Strict Father +99)]

[Skills: Basic Swordsmanship / Tracking / Danger Perception]

[Adventurer Talent: Strict Father]

[Detected first-time login to Minos. Bestowing unique talent ‘Kind Mother’.]

[Kind Mother: You possess the most tolerant heart, the most encouraging insight, and the most nurturing care.]

Approval: 0%

Disappointment: 0%

Probably the change in her body had misled the world’s rules, granting her another unique talent—something every adventurer could only have one of.

Now she has two talents.

But so what? 

She probably couldn’t change back anymore.

“Wait…”

Li Si suddenly surfaced. 

If she could become female, and Strict Father hadn’t disappeared, did that mean there was a way to change back?

The newly appeared Kind Mother talent had a shop just like Strict Father. 

The items in the shop were mostly the same, except there was one ultimate item. 

Both shops required Child Coins to buy from, and the Child Coin currency was shared.

[Ultimate Magic Item: ??????]: A magical item capable of defying the world’s rules.

Back when she played this game in her previous life, there was an item like this that could change all the settings in the game—even the initial settings.

“In other words, I can still change back.”

Of course, the ultimate item wasn’t meant for something like that. 

But its appearance made Li Si realize that the world-shaking upheaval was coming soon. 

The Holy Court at the center of the world was about to be in trouble.

Unfortunately, right now she was just an E-rank adventurer who hadn’t even left the newbie village. 

She was powerless against this change.

Floating on the water, her thoughts drifted away with the ripples. 

The frustration of being kicked out, the helplessness of becoming a girl—she forced herself to accept it, barely.

Li Si didn’t want to wallow in this helplessness for too long. 

She still had to face even harsher adventures ahead. 

She had to quickly rebuild a truly reliable party.

“Um… Li Si…”

A familiar voice suddenly came from across the lake.

A Cat Beastman was crouched on a tree branch. 

She was about to speak when she suddenly froze, her cat eyes going wide in disbelief, “You… you’re a girl?!”
