Chapter 1 The Birth of the Master

The story begins in an inconspicuous corner of the universe. In the vast galaxy, a small space station is just a drop in the ocean. It floats in planetary orbit, and its only reason for existence is that its owner needs a warehouse.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The piercing alarms blared throughout the space station. The external defenses of the space station were eroded by the destructive force, leaving countless holes. Monster soldiers clad in black armor were rushing into the space station through these holes. Their exoskeletons were extensions of their weapons: blades, guns, arrows—they possessed everything that could kill. A catastrophe was inevitable for the space station.

The space station's researchers stared in astonishment, mouths agape. Someone, seemingly quick to react, sprinted toward the escape route, followed by others, quickly forming a surging crowd.

In the crowd, a mature woman with purple hair stood out from the crowd. While everyone else was running forward, she was walking backward with long legs. The thin braids behind her head swayed gently with her steps. If it weren't for the life-or-death situation, many people would have been happy to stop and chat with her.

The purple-haired woman is named Kafka, and her profession is a Star Core Hunter. This disaster on the space station was caused by her and her accomplices. Their mission is simple: to follow the script of a certain being.

Kafka quickly traversed the long corridor to the core of the space station, where she reunited with her teammate, a seemingly underage girl whose body was not fully developed. Standing next to Kafka, she looked like a little sister, and the two were incomparable. However, this seemingly short girl was one of the top hackers in the galaxy; otherwise, she would not have become Kafka's teammate.

The girl had silver hair tied into a ponytail at the back, but because of its natural curls, the ponytail spun like a soft loaf of bread, making one want to take a bite. Her silver pupils revealed a shrewd look. She wore a slightly short jacket that revealed her delicate abdomen and navel, and black shorts that exposed most of her legs. A rectangular game console was hanging on her right thigh.

"Silver Wolf, am I late?"

Kaffa asked, her voice gentle, like a stream flowing through the listener's heart, minimizing their wariness. If they were to meet her gaze again, those with weak wills might immediately kneel down and shout, "I am Kaffa's dog!"

"No, you've come at the perfect time."

Silver Wolf glanced at Kafka and said lazily that the mission was too easy for her and she was still feeling a bit unmotivated. It was only because the owner of the space station was not here that the two of them would have had a million times more difficulty in their intrusion.

Snapped!

With a snap of her fingers, Silver Wolf and Kafka appeared together in a sealed room. The room had no entrance or exit and could not be entered by ordinary physical means, yet they appeared there with ease.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it amazing."

Kafka looked at the sphere radiating golden light in front of her and spoke, but she wasn't referring to the star core in front of her; she had seen that many times before. She was talking about Silver Wolf's ability.

"It's just a matter of modifying real-world data; it's a trivial trick."

Silver Wolf casually popped a piece of chewing gum into his mouth and said.

Silver Wolf didn't say much. A semi-transparent screen appeared in front of him. He tapped it with his finger, opening a spatial passage. Then, with another tap, he pulled out a sleeping human from the space.

This person is male, about 1.8 meters tall, with gray hair swaying slightly with his breathing. He has fallen into a deep sleep. The mission of the two Star Core Hunters on this trip is to use this person as a vessel to place the Star Core in front of them into it.

This was an extremely dangerous move, something no one in the known history of the universe had ever done before. Yet Kafka easily grasped the golden sphere, put her arm around the unconscious man, and pressed the star core into his chest.

The fusion of the star core and the carrier was surprisingly simple, as if they were originally one. But just as the fusion was in progress, an unexpected event occurred. The space station shook violently, seemingly damaged somewhere by a phantom. The star core showed signs of instability as a result, and a black hole-like suction force appeared around it. Kafka quickly steadied herself to avoid being affected.

Silver Wolf encountered a problem. She had just taken out her game console to check how her character was progressing when, before she could even turn on the screen, the game console was sucked into the Star Core by its suction force, turning into a stream of light and becoming part of the Star Core.

In the quiet yet suffocating atmosphere, Silver Wolf's expression had become ( ).

"Little Silver Wolf? Didn't I tell you not to play your game console during missions?"

Kafka turned around and called out Silver Wolf's name in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, her expression also showing a clear change.

"Me too, I'm a victim! That was my favorite game console, it just vanished in an instant! Give it back to me!"

Silver Wolf's guilty conscience made her status suddenly lower than Kaffa's, and now it was difficult for her to stand firm. When she saw Kaffa smiling with her eyes narrowed, she immediately began to explain in a flustered manner.

At this moment, the vessel had finished absorbing the star core and slowly opened its eyes. Perhaps due to the influence of the star core, its eyes were golden, with brilliant light gathered inside, making them quite beautiful.

Qiong's mind was in a mess. He felt like he couldn't remember anything, but many strange memories appeared in his mind: driving race cars, riding horses and fighting, piloting mechs, and fighting dragons with a katana longer than a person.

"Child, are you alright? Don't you remember anything?"

Kafka looked at Sora with concern and asked, "He is the most important part of the plan. At this moment, I really hope that Sora doesn't have any other memories and that things will go according to the script."

"mom!"

Qiong glanced at Kaffa, then hugged her slender waist and shouted, before rubbing against her softer-than-cotton breasts and acting coquettishly.

Silver Wolf's expression changed to ( ). She knew things were getting out of control. Logically, when this Star Core Spirit woke up, it should have been in the "Aba Aba" state, so how could it be calling for its mother?

"Huh? I'm Mom, then who is she?"

Kafka looked slightly surprised, her lips, painted with light pink lip gloss, parted slightly, and then she pointed at Silver Wolf with her finger and asked.

"Auntie."

Qiong said with certainty, which made Silver Wolf start looking for a wrench everywhere. This child was no good and needed to be remade.

It was at this moment that the piercing alarm sounded again. Kafka and Silver Wolf knew that this was because the theft of the Star Core had alerted the true owner of the space station, and that person was probably about to take action.

"Qiong, listen to me, I'm leaving here."

Kafka looked at Sora and said that since he wanted to play a strange mother-son game, Kafka would not refuse, but separation was still necessary.

"No, Mom!"

When Qiong heard Kaffa say she had to leave for a while, he became anxious and grabbed Kaffa's arm, but the young mother just smiled and shook her head.

"Next, you will encounter many dangers and find yourself in terrible situations, but you will also encounter many wonderful things. You will have companions who are like family, and you will embark on adventures you could never have dreamed of. At the end of the journey, all the mysteries that have troubled you will be solved."

"When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it."

After leaving those words, Kafka and Silver Wolf disappeared from Sora's sight. Sora's mind was still in a daze. After watching them leave, his body involuntarily collapsed. The shifting force enveloped him and quickly sent him out of the sealed space.

Chapter 2: A Beautiful Girl at the Start

While unconscious, Qiong sorted through the strange knowledge in his head. It contained everything, including basic common sense. It was as if he had played the lead role in many films and television series, with many identities to choose from. In the end, he chose the identity of the katana swordsman, simply because he was handsome.

After deciding to roam the martial world as a katana-wielding swordsman, Qiong opened his eyes and prepared to get up. However, two strangers were already standing in front of him: a pretty girl with pink hair and a young man with black hair.

"Who are you?" Qiong asked in confusion.

"Oh, you're awake. We were just discussing who should give you CPR."

When the pink-haired girl saw that Qiong had woken up, she gave her a heartwarming smile. She had thought that Qiong was half dead and was about to help her.

Qiong looked at the pink-haired girl's appearance: a pretty face, shoulder-length pink hair, and beautiful eyes that combined pink and blue. Suddenly, he felt like he had lost a fortune. His body, which had been preparing to get up, gradually became limp. He covered his chest with his hands, his face showing pain.

"I'm suddenly short of oxygen, I can't breathe! If a pretty pink-haired girl could give me CPR, I could get up right away."

Qiong put on a panting expression and said, almost demanding that the pink-haired girl give him CPR. This twisted behavior was obviously learned from his aunt. Although he didn't know why, he felt that all the strange knowledge in his mind came from his aunt.

"This is so fake, it's insulting to our intelligence."

The pink-haired girl glared at Qiong and complained. Although she was usually a bit naive, if she could fall for this kind of trick, she might as well go home, wash up, and go to sleep. Why would she bother saving anyone?

"My name is March 7th, and this is Dan Heng. We are here to support the space station and our goal is to drive away those villainous Void Soldiers."

The pink-haired girl pointed to herself, then to the calm-looking man beside her, and simply explained their purpose on the space station: to be guardians who stood on the side of humanity.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Taika Tenzin."

Qiong chuckled and said that he didn't know why, but he felt very comfortable when talking to pretty girls. He felt that this was probably due to the influence of his beautiful mother and beautiful aunt.

“Who would have such a name? What kind of code name is this? Tell the truth, or we’ll treat you as a pawn.”

March 7th stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Qiong and huffing and puffing. She felt that this guy either thought she was an idiot, or he was an idiot. In any case, he didn't seem like a good person.

"My name is Sora, the Sora from Kasugano." Sora said honestly this time.

"Who is that?"

March 7th was full of questions, but since Qiong had already revealed her real name, she wrote it down so she could check later to see if this person was on the space station's missing persons list.

Although Qiong seemed to be mentally unstable, March 7th added her to her team and then headed towards a safe area. Their rescue team would save as many people as they could. However, before leaving, she looked around to find a weapon for Qiong to defend herself.

"Do you know how to fight? See if there's anything here that you can use to defend yourself," March 7th said.

"Do you have a katana? I remember the scene of me rescuing the children with the Black Dragon Annihilation Blade. They all called me the Katana Master."

Qiong crossed his arms and said with a proud expression. His pride seemed genuine, and March Seven actually believed his nonsense. Moreover, he felt that the name of that sword was indeed super cool.

"No, I am the bow and arrow, and he is the gun."

On March 7th, after looking around, he found a baseball bat that looked very sturdy and handed it to Qiong. Although this weapon was rather useless and not as good as a katana, Qiong still reluctantly accepted it. She already knew how to use it, thanks to those strange memories.

Not long after the three entered the escape tunnel, several phantom soldiers wielding dual swords appeared before them. Qiong glanced at them and hid behind March 7, then began to shout.

“You dare to cause trouble with your double-edged swords? If I didn’t have a katana in my hand right now, I would have chopped you all up.”

Qiong's words were full of aggression. The Void Soldiers looked at the weapons in their hands and focused all their hatred on him. One of the leader-level Void Soldiers pointed at Qiong and a red cross mark appeared above his head.

"No, why are you provoking them!"

March 7th loudly complained, and a pure white light immediately appeared in his hand, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped Qiong to ensure his safety.

"Thank you, Little March. I have no way to repay your life-saving kindness. If we die together today, maybe we will be reincarnated as a pair of lovebirds in the next life, and I will repay you then."

Qiong felt the barrier that March 7th had placed on her, and immediately realized that the girl was kind-hearted and cared about her. She was touched and said something.

"When did we become so close? And I don't want to die here."

March 7th felt numb and couldn't help but continue to complain about Qiong. Originally, those few phantom soldiers didn't pose much of a threat, but after being told this, it felt like they had encountered the ultimate BOSS.

Danheng was clearly the ruthless and taciturn type. He had already charged forward and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Void Soldiers. Sanyueqi couldn't control Qiong and could only let him pray for good fortune, while using his own bow and arrow to provide cover for Danheng in the battle.

The phantom soldier that had marked Qiong was already charging at him. It swung its left arm blade at Qiong's head, but Qiong, with his rich combat experience, was naturally not going to be hit by such an attack. He simply leaned back slightly to avoid the blow, and then used his baseball bat to strike the phantom soldier's chin from below, causing the soldier to stagger.

"This was cut with the back of the knife; I don't kill living beings."

Qiong maintained his composure and looked at the Void Soldier in front of him with disdain. Despite his rambling and mysterious manner, he was actually quite capable in combat. He could easily defeat a Void Soldier in a one-on-one fight. However, the number of Void Soldiers that invaded the space station this time was about seven thousand.

Qiong saw a spatial vortex appear in front of him, from which more than thirty living virtual soldiers jumped out. He immediately put away his baseball bat and ran away, betraying San Yueqi and Dan Heng. If he didn't run, all three of them would be surrounded and die. If he ran away, because of the marks on their heads, only he would die.

Chapter 3 Finding a Beautiful Girl

After running for a while, Qiong found herself wandering into some dark corner. It was quiet and a little eerie. Qiong leaned against the wall to rest for a while, and just as she was about to start running again, she heard light footsteps approaching.

Qiong warily watched the direction from which the footsteps came. The light from the corner had already illuminated the person's shadow, which was covered by a large, round object. It looked somewhat abstract, but it should be a woman.

Since she was going to die whether she stuck her head out or not, Qiong simply jumped out to face the person directly. The two met face to face, and the woman in front stopped in her tracks.

This is a strange woman. Although she is inside the space station, she is holding a red paper umbrella in her left hand. The shadow we just saw was cast by the paper umbrella. In her other hand, she is holding a long sword that is sheathed. The length of the sword is obviously longer than her height. Although she is only holding the front half of the sword, she looks like she has become one with the sword.

Qiong's heart skipped a beat. Although the woman in front of him was a bit strange, she had a katana!

The katana that Qiong had been searching for appeared here. Both its length and design were exactly what he remembered. A bold idea popped into his mind—he had to find a way to get his hands on her.

Kyō is a moral person; he doesn't commit crimes. Therefore, the best way to obtain the katana is to get this woman, and then the katana will be his.

"Hello, is this Pinocone?"

A purple eye fell on Qiong, and the woman holding the knife asked in a calm tone. It seemed that she was lost and looking for a local to ask for directions.

"I don't think so. This is a space station."

Qiong met the woman's gaze. She didn't actually have only one eye; her left eye was covered by long, dark blue bangs. People who only use one eye are usually ruthless, so Qiong answered her question politely.

"Excuse me, it looks like I'm lost again."

The woman nodded, her expression slightly disappointed, and said that this was the umpteenth time she had gotten lost; her terrible sense of direction had been a long-standing trait of hers.

"Quack! Don't leave me alone, I'm scared!"

Seeing that the woman was about to turn and leave, Qiong lunged forward, then knelt down, slid a distance to the woman's long legs, and grabbed her exposed, tattooed white legs.

"What's your name? Have we met somewhere before?"

The woman looked down at Qiong and asked, showing no sign of anger at his action of hugging her thigh. Qiong carefully felt her thigh; it was warm and soft. This woman was not some monster in disguise, but a living, breathing person.

“My name is Qiong. We hit it off immediately. Why don’t we travel together?”

“Alright, Sea Patrol Knight, Yellow Springs... that’s how they address me.”

Huang Quan closed her eyes and thought for a while. She had already sensed that there was malice approaching from the surroundings, so Qiong's fear was not faked. She gave her name, a somewhat ominous name.
