"That's why, I have found you. A person, whose will to live is strong but is unfortunate enough to not live long. You will be transmigrated into that world, and you will assume the identity of a cannon fodder who used to follow the female protagonist in the book and died sometime in the future."
Bai Li listened to her and after thinking for a few seconds, she nodded. Although she didn't yet understand quite a lot of details about all this, she felt that at this point, anything was better than waiting for death in this world.
: "So then. What would happen to me in this world? Wouldn't everyone suspect something if I suddenly disappeared at this moment?"
: "Don't worry. The moment your body and soul leaves this world and is registered as a person of that world, this world would silently erase you and your identity and memories and everything related to you so that it would appear as if you have never even existed here in the first place."
Bai Li felt a bit choked as she heard her words. The fact that all her life accomplishments, achievements would be forgotten and cease to exist left her with a bittersweet feeling in her heart. But she also knew that life was more important than all these materialistic things.
Bai Li didn't think long before she accepted this fact and immediately said to the woman with a rather eager voice,
"Tell me, what do I have to do now?"
The woman smiled at her words and the determination in her eyes and immediately took out a scroll from her sleeves and handed it to her.
: "This is the contract that you need to sign. But before that, I will give you a little bit of a preview of the world that you are about to be transmigrated into. You must already know that nothing in this world is free and such a thing as getting a new life would definitely come with a certain price. But don't worry, I'm not the devil and I will not be asking for your soul in return."
Bai Li nodded in understanding. She knew it very well.
"So, what do I have to do in that world? Is it a mission? Like in those webnovels where the character who transmigrates must complete a certain mission to live?"
The woman said with a softer voice,
"Yes. It's similar but also quite different. To understand that, Let me first you a general understanding of this world. Come with me…."
Bai Li listened to her and just when she was about to say "Where….
Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation, as if the ground beneath her feet and the air around her were melting into one another. The entire surrounding began to bend, twist, and ripple like reflections in disturbed water. It was as though reality itself had turned into a shimmering fabric that someone was folding and crumpling in slow motion. The walls, the floor, and even the very air seemed to lose their shape, bending together in a swirling dance of color and motion.
Bai Li gasped softly. Her heart pounded in her chest as a dizzying wave washed over her senses. In that instant, all familiar shapes vanished, and a new scene unfolded before her eyes—so breathtaking, so unreal, that she could hardly believe what she was seeing. The confusion in her mind melted into astonishment.
When the light dimmed, she realized she was no longer where she had been moments ago. The space around her was quiet—too quiet. She looked down and saw nothing beneath her feet, only a vast emptiness that stretched endlessly in all directions. It was as if she were floating in the middle of the universe itself.
In front of her, glowing softly against the darkness, was a magnificent blue planet. Its curved surface shimmered with clouds, seas, and continents—familiar from pictures she had seen hundreds of times before. The realization struck her almost immediately: that glowing sphere was Earth. Her home.
Bai Li's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is this… space?" she whispered. The words sounded small, almost meaningless, against the grand silence surrounding her. She tried to breathe, but even breathing felt strange here, as though time itself had slowed down. For the first time in her life, she saw what it truly meant for Earth to float in the endless black void, fragile and beautiful.
It was a scene she had only seen in satellite photos or documentaries, something far beyond the reach of an ordinary person. Yet here she was, standing—no, existing—outside the atmosphere, looking at her world from a distance. A mix of wonder and sadness filled her heart. She couldn't stop staring.
Then, from beside her, a voice softly echoed through the space—a woman's voice, calm yet powerful, carrying a strange warmth that made Bai Li instinctively turn.
"This is… or rather, this was your world," the woman said. Her tone was neither cold nor kind, simply matter-of-fact, yet every word seemed to carry the weight of some unknown truth. "Now, Bai Li, I will take you to the world where you are meant to be transmigrated."
Before Bai Li could react or ask a single question, the space around her began to distort again. The stars stretched into lines, the planet blurred into a whirl of azure light, and she felt a pull—as if invisible hands were spinning the universe around her. The feeling was dizzying, but before she could even gasp, everything blinked out of existence once more.
When she found her vision again, she was quite shocked by the sight in front of her.
Ahead of her was a planet very similar to earth but Bai Li felt this world looked quite bigger than earth. And most of all, the entire ball of the planet was red in color!
The woman again spoke beside her,
"This is your world now."
Bai Li heard her and turned around to face her. She knew that now what she was about to listen would be something extremely important.
The woman sighed softly as she began,
