Lin Xiao groggily opened his eyes, his head spinning like he'd just been hit by a runaway horse.
"That driver must be holding a grudge," he muttered. "Sure, I mess with him every time he comes to pick me up for transmigration—and maybe I've totaled his car a few times—but this feels personal."
He looked around. Darkness enveloped him like a foggy racetrack before dawn. Then, a glowing panel materialized before his eyes:
Please begin creating your system.
(Note: You only have three chances to modify it.)
Lin Xiao stood up, eyes gleaming. He knew exactly what to do.
"Hah, so he wasn't lying. Then time to build my cheat."
He scanned the interface and began configuring his setup:
Core Package: Panel System, Space System, Store Essential Functions: Daily Sign-In, Lottery Draw Bonus Feature: Clone Function
"Perfect," he nodded, satisfied. "Now for the cherry on top—a system spirit."
He browsed his gallery and selected his favorite wallpaper.
Name: Promise
Appearance: Silver hair, icy blue eyes, fluffy ears, and a tail that could rival a cloud in softness.
The virtual avatar spun gracefully before him.
"Tsk tsk tsk… Worthy of the hours I spent choosing it from thousands of AI-generated options. Gorgeous. But why isn't it moving?"
Another line appeared:
System spirit will activate upon transmigration.
"Figures," Lin Xiao sighed. "Alright, let's pick a world."
Without hesitation, he tapped:
World: Uma Musume (Horse Girl)
Another prompt popped up:
Please choose your race.
Two options appeared:
Uma Musume · Female Human · Male
Lin Xiao paused, then asked aloud:
"If I create a clone, can it choose its own race?"
The panel blinked, then responded:
Yes.
Grinning, he selected Human for his main body.
(Note: The human form will be stored in the system space and rarely used. Lin Xiao plans to operate primarily in his Racehorse Girl form.)
Suddenly, the ground vanished beneath his feet. Something struck his head, and everything went black.

During races, all Uma Musume feel an overwhelming fear, entering a stalled state. Stamina consumption increases proportionally to their terror—no upper limit.
Core Skill: Playful Wait
At race start, if idle or trailing, speed increases by 1% per second. If completely stationary, the boost is 2% per second. This stacks infinitely—even outside races. When activated, unleashes full speed. Duration scales with wait time: 1 second of waiting = 2 seconds of burst. Can be paused or resumed at will.

Allows manipulation of all Uma Musume's basic stats (±10%). Only one attribute can be adjusted at a time. All others except the user are affected. The user gains a +10% boost in the chosen stat.
Concept Skill: Yandere Gaze
Locks onto the first-place runner, maintaining a distance of no more than 0.5 horse lengths. Speed increases based on distance, with zero stamina cost. The target feels intense fear, gaining +10% speed but suffering +5% stamina drain.
Passive Skill: Obsession
Immune to all negative effects. Any debuff transforms into a corresponding buff. Nullifies all non-beneficial skill effects.
