"Ah…"
A sharp pain pierced her skull. Lin Yunyi groaned, clutching her head as she sat up in bed.
Memories surged through her mind like a rapid-fire PowerPoint presentation—slides flipping faster than she could process.
"I… transmigrated?" she whispered, eyes wide.
Just moments ago, she was a third-year university student hopelessly addicted to Honkai: Star Rail. In a moment of desperation to summon her beloved character Sparkle, she made a dramatic vow: sacrifice ten years of her life for guaranteed soft pity.
And then—miracle!
Ten pulls.
Five five-stars.
Five Sparkles.
She barely had time to celebrate before her vision went dark.
Now, she was here.
"Wait, I didn't even get ten years?!" Lin Yunyi grumbled, but her voice sounded… off.
"Ah… ah?"
She tried again. What came out was a soft, clear, melodious voice—girlish, pure, and unnervingly pleasant.
Her gaze dropped to her arms: pale, slender, flawless. Her fingers were delicate, her skin smooth as porcelain. Two strands of dark hair framed her vision.
"No way…"
She reached down instinctively.
Nothing.
Empty.
Her Sword… gone.
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
She bolted to the full-length mirror in the room, trembling with dread. The reflection staring back at her was unmistakable:
Twin black ponytails.
Pink-purple eyes like plum blossoms.
A sleek black mini-dress hugging a graceful figure.
"Holy crap… I turned into Sparkle?!"
Just then, a glowing message appeared before her eyes:
[Honkai: Star Rail Gacha System activated. Welcome, Host! You've received your Newbie Ten-Pull!]
[Note: All characters are five-star. Other rewards include cultivation materials.]
"A system?! I got a Golden Finger?!" Lin Yunyi's eyes sparkled.
She quickly pulled up her status panel:
[Host: Lin Yunyi]
[Template: Sparkle]
[Realm: Bronze One – Star]
[Awakening Ability: Summoning System]
[Skill: Mask]
[Star Rubies: 0]
"It's really Sparkle's Mask ability!" Lin Yunyi cheered. She could now transform into anyone at will.
From inherited memories, she learned this world was a high-martial realm—where people awakened abilities, summoned spirit beasts, and wielded elemental magic. At age 18, students underwent Awakening ceremonies. Success meant a future in elite academies. Failure meant a mundane life.
The original Lin Yunyi had failed.
Orphaned young, raised in an underfunded orphanage, she scraped her way to adulthood only to be labeled "ordinary." With no ability, no money, and no hope, she took poison and died.
Now, Lin Yunyi had inherited her body—and her tragic past.
"Poor girl…" Lin Yunyi sighed. "But now, I've got the Gacha System!"
"System, I want my ten-pull!" she shouted.
A familiar interface appeared—just like in Star Rail. A train roared through the cosmos, a golden ticket shimmering in its wake.
[Newbie Ten-Pull: One guaranteed five-star!]
"Let's gooo!" Lin Yunyi's eyes gleamed.
The results rolled in.
And then—
Stellaron Hunter "Sam" — Firefly.
"FIREFLY?! She's in the pool too?!"
The other nine rewards were unfamiliar materials, clearly adapted to this martial world. Lin Yunyi opened the character panel:
[Summoned Character: Firefly]
[Realm: Bronze One – Star]
[Ability: Stellaron Hunter "Sam"]
"I can summon a mecha girl?! This Summoning System is cracked!"
Just as she basked in her gacha glory, a loud knock rattled the door.
"Open up, Lin Yunyi! You're a month late on rent!"
Her body tensed. From the original memories, she knew this landlord was bad news—sleazy, predatory, and not above exploiting vulnerable tenants.
Note-May everyone's gacha pulls be on-pity, and may their wanted five star always come!
