SWNOVELXO Chapter 2
In order to reward herself, Bai Yu decided to order some takeout. After a series of taps, Bai Yu discovered that her bank balance was a bit worrying.
At long last, she figured out why the original host kept eating instant noodles. Bai Yu had thought it was to lose weight, but it was because of low funds.
Bai Yu casually ordered a braised chicken rice, and before long, a blue clothed delivery boy showed up at the door with her food.
Bai Yu went out to get the takeout. The way that delivery boy looked at her was really just.
Bai Yu was a bit smug inside.
Bro, no worries, I understand you!
After Bai Yu sweetly said a thank you to the delivery boy outside, she closed the door and returned to the table.
Bai Yu began eating with big bites, but after finishing half, Bai Yu actually found she couldn’t eat anymore.
“Isn’t this appetite way too small? Whatever, as long as I’m full.”
Bai Yu looked at the laptop before her, on it was the still unfinished novel draft.
“It’s over, I don’t know how to write novels. How will I live in the future, ah ah ah!”
At this time, an old mechanical voice rang out in Bai Yu’s mind.
[World Announcement: Everyone will enter the fantasy continent in one hour.]
[Countdown: 00:59:58]
[Here, everyone will have a fair and equal opportunity to fight for supremacy.]
[The fantasy continent, a land mixed with countless races, opportunities, danger, and challenges.]
[Each person will be given a castle at the start and a faction of soldiers. Summon soldiers, plunder resources, grow and expand, and fight for supremacy.]
[Here, you can obtain everything you want, power, wealth, and even immortality!]
[Lords, go fight, go conquer!]
“Ah?”
“What the hell, is this my system. I recall that transmigration would grant a system, but it doesn’t seem like it?”
While Bai Yu was in doubt, her phone let out some notification sounds.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!
Bai Yu pulled out her phone for a look and found that the internet was already exploding. The government’s official accounts on Yabo and Douhai had all already posted an emergency notice.
They were probably also all still confused, but were trying to pacify the public. The netizens were also down in the comments going wild.
“Ha ha ha is this everyone collectively awakening the system?”
“This is probably some big company’s newly developed VR game, right?”
“Commenter above, don’t lie. Which company’s game can cause voices in your head. I also believe in the top comment’s system, haven’t you seen web novels, you’re out of touch!”
“Reading everything will only harm you!”
“Start with a castle, fight for supremacy? Isn’t that some random celebrity ad. Speaking of which, what will happen once this one hour countdown ends?”
…
Bai Yu watched on as the people spammed posts online. So it turned out it wasn’t just one person hearing that voice, even the government was reacting. It was very likely the voice could be heard by everyone.
Bai Yu had an ominous premonition.
It was everyone’s first time encountering this kind of situation. If there were people losing their heads in a panic, there would also be those unafraid of death.
One hour seemed long, but in reality it gave people no chance to prepare.
The one hour quickly passed by. In this hour, the government wasn’t able to give any real explanation, they would just have to see what happened when the countdown hit zero.
[Countdown: 3, 2, 1, 0]
As the timer hit zero, Bai Yu felt a sense of weightlessness, her body forcibly tilted backwards, and her eyes also unwittingly closed.
[Scanning Lord Condition Started]
[The weary corpses reignite the soul’s fire, millions shall kneel before you.]
A voice rang out in her mind. The imagined fall Bai Yu expected never came as her two legs landed stably on the ground while she opened her two eyes.
Bai Yu found she was currently inside a run down castle. Even though the castle was very run down, but it was still quite clean.
The entire sky was overcast. All one could see outside the castle were withered trees. In the distance, strange howls could even be heard every now and then.
The entire atmosphere all around the place gave Bai Yu a very depressing feel.
“No way, again?”
“A second time!”
“I only just transmigrated as a cute girl less than three hours ago.”
Bai Yu looked down at herself. Small black leather shoes plus white socks. Pale, slender, and long, smooth legs. And it was still that set of sailor uniform with a pleated skirt.
Not bad not bad, Bai Yu let out a breath.
“Thankfully I didn’t transmigrate as some monster, it really is a silver lining in this mess.”
[Esteemed lord, welcome home!]
[Congratulations to the lord for receiving your innate weapon: Deathscythe of Judgement]
[The lord is of the noblest lineage of the undead, your soldiers will be assigned as the undead race, and will be unique to you.]
“Ah, what?”
Before Bai Yu could process what was happening, a red bracelet appeared on her right wrist, on it even hung two little bells.
Bai Yu reached out to touch it. The bracelet detached itself from her wrist and turned into a giant scythe.
The scythe measured 1.8 meters, 20 cm taller than even Bai Yu herself, with the blade of the scythe at 80 cm. It was approximately half of the length of the scythe. The entire thing was red and black with the large blade forming an arc, emitting an eerie light.
On the top and bottom of the scythe handle were a big and small skull, the eyes of the top skull flickered with a blue fire. The handle of the scythe was wrapped in a white cloth, and where the blade connected to the shaft were tied two bells and two white ribbons.
“Whoa, this is so cool, the special effects are maxed out!”
As Bai Yu grabbed the scythe in her hands, information about the scythe also appeared in her mind.
[Innate Weapon: Deathscythe of Judgement]
[Grade: Commander Tier Weapon (Upgradable)]
[Active Skills: Summon Undead Magic (Rank 1)]
[Passive Skills: Attacks also damage the soul and cause a withering effect, base stats are doubled.]
No wonder Bai Yu felt her strength increase a bunch after holding the scythe in her hands. But how much strength could a 42 kg girl even be, even with it doubled, Bai Yu’s current strength was just pitiful.
With just a thought, the Deathscythe of Judgement once again transformed back into a bracelet on Bai Yu’s right wrist.
[Starting now, your castle will receive a seven day newbie protection period.]
[Within the protection period, your castle will be completely invincible.]
[After the seven day protection period ends, all lords will face the first wave of monsters.]
Bai Yu also instantly saw a giant protective shield had formed around her castle.
It turned out this wasn’t some simple playing around, she could actually die.
Bai Yu also started feeling the urgency and took a lap around the castle. The castle had various rooms, it was just that everything was completely empty. The entire castle could be said to be a hollow shell, it was all empty, no kitchen, no bedroom.
Did they expect her to sleep on the floor!
Bai Yu arrived at the little courtyard outside the castle and discovered there was a dark green colored crystal. Walking before the crystal, a virtual button appeared before Bai Yu.
Bai Yu pressed the button.
[Undead Crystal: Lv 1 (Unique Barracks)]
[The barracks can randomly summon Skeleton, Zombie, Spectre, Death Knight, Lich, Skeletal Dragon, Spectral Dragon, Zombie Titan, Gargoyle, and all other Undead units.]
[Level 1 barracks can summon the three basic unit types Skeleton, Zombie, Spectre (Random 10) 1% chance of random high tier unit.]
[Barracks Upgrade Requirements: 100 Magic Crystals, 1 Spirit Core]
“Are you telling me I can only be with these mindless things in the future, come on!”
Bai Yu was on the verge of tears. This place was already quite scary, and now comes a group of undeads.
[Undead Crystal charging complete, do you want to summon now!]
Below appeared two buttons, Bai Yu unhesitantly pressed on the top one.
[Yes]
