Si Lu opened her eyes and realized she was lying on a pile of grass inside a cave.
Huh?
Where was this place? And more importantly—how the hell did she end up here?
She lifted her hand… only to freeze.
Wait. That wasn't a hand.
That was a hoof.
A freaking hoof.
Her mind blanked.
Before she could even start panicking, a dizzy wave hit her—and suddenly, a mechanical voice echoed in her head:
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bonded with the "Many Children, Much Blessing" System. This system's designation is 001.][From now on, Host will shine brightly in the Beast Continent and fulfill her sacred mission! Of course, this system will assist you wholeheartedly every step of the way!]
Si Lu just stared into the void of her brain.
What the actual—?
All she did was read a beast-world romance novel last night. Now she'd woken up inside one? With a baby-making system?
Completely absurd.
But after a few seconds, her brain—hardened by too many late-night novel binges—snapped right into acceptance mode.
Honestly… she was a little excited. And maybe a tiny bit curious.
"Uh, cough, system," she said out loud, looking down at her hoofed hands. "Can you explain what exactly I am right now? Why do I have hooves? And also—does 'Many Children, Much Blessing' mean what I think it means?"
She looked down at herself again. Her entire body was snow-white. Elegant, sure—but confusing as hell.
[Host currently belongs to the Deer Tribe of the Beast Continent. However, Host is a mutant white deer. As for the "Many Children, Much Blessing" part—yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. Your mission is to be fruitful and multiply!][Because the Beast Continent suffers from a shortage of females, the population is on the verge of crisis. The system hopes Host can shine bright and bring forth many strong offspring for the future of beastkind.][Since Host is a newcomer, the Newbie Gift Pack and System Shop are now open. You can use earned points to buy supplies. We hope your Beast World adventure is a most fertile one!]
Si Lu's jaw dropped.
"So basically, I've been dragged here to… have babies for them? Are you kidding me?"
She sighed. Sure, she liked kids, but childbirth? That's pain, blood, and possible death!
She wasn't exactly ready to risk her new life over labor pains.
[Host, do not worry! With this system's assistance, giving birth will be as easy as, well… pooping. Quick, clean, and 100% safe!][As long as the system exists, Host will have no accidents!][Think about it, Host—this is the Beast Continent! Gorgeous beastmen everywhere, waiting for you! You're not tempted?][Only you can save this world—and its beautiful men! Go forth, hero!]
Si Lu couldn't help but laugh. The system's tone was so dramatic that her blood actually started pumping.
Saving the world? Sure. Saving hot beastmen? Even better.
She could work with that.
"Alright, system," she said, perking up. "I'll save the world. What do we do first? Oh, and—what's in that 'gift pack' you mentioned?"
[Host can take human form with a single thought. The Newbie Gift Pack contains: 500 points, a personal farm space, and one Good Fortune Pill. One dose guarantees conception!]
"Wait—WHAT?" Si Lu's eyes widened, but before she could ask, her body shimmered and shifted—
In the next instant, she was human again.
Long, silvery-white hair flowed down her back like snowmelt. Her skin was smooth and pale as moonlight.
She looked down at herself and grinned.
"Hell yeah! I'm back, baby!"
But the victory was short-lived—she quickly realized she was, uh… stark naked.
"Great. Reborn in another world with zero clothes. Typical."
With a sigh, she opened the System Shop and bought the cheapest fur outfit she could find. She didn't want to stand out too much, especially since she had no idea what kind of society she'd landed in.
Curious about her new form, she stepped out of the cave and spotted a clear pond nearby. Jogging over, she crouched by the edge to study her reflection.
It was definitely her face—same eyes, same features—but now with a pair of small, elegant white antlers crowning her head.
She touched them gently. They were smooth, cool, and kind of adorable, honestly.
"Okay… I can work with this," she said, nodding at her reflection.
Just as she was starting to enjoy her new look—
Two sharp, mocking voices echoed from behind her.
"Well, well, look who it is—the shameless little freak!"
"Yeah! With that ugly mutated body, you really think Amo would want you? Keep dreaming, girl!"
"Si Lu, take a look at yourself. You think you're worthy of our young chief? You're disgusting!"
"Your wounds are healed, aren't they? Then get out of our tribe already! We don't welcome outsiders here!"
Two female figures strode out of the woods, faces twisted in disdain.
Both were females of the Deer Tribe—and both clearly hated Si Lu's guts.
In their eyes, she was nothing but an outsider and a freak. Their young chief, Amo, was one of the most talented warriors in the tribe—handsome, strong, admired by all. No way would he ever fall for a white mutant deer who'd just been rescued off the roadside.
Si Lu had only been taken in by Amo a short while ago after he saved her life. But to these tribal women, she'd always be a dirty stray with no real place among them.
