Chapter 9: Meeting The Sword Empress
"Let’s do it. What could possibly go wrong by entering the realm of the Sword Empress?"
I mused to myself as I stood before the entrance of the Sword Empress’s legacy realm.
In the game, the Sword Empress was the strongest mortal, second only to the First Hero. She was also a Transcended Star Mage—someone who wielded sword and magic like extensions of her own will.
This hidden realm is also her grave. In the game, the player unlocked this part of the story in the mid-game and learned from her when she was on the brink of death.
As the shut-in I was, I tried to save her in the game but it was impossible back then. But now that I have the system, anything is possible with enough C.P.
(Yes, you can buy anything you want from the shop. But you can’t afford the good stuff. Because guess what? You’re still broke.)
I heard a feminine voice filled with mockery in my head.
"Yes, yes, you are right, Pixia. I’m broke now, but wait until I reach the academy. I will get so many CP that even you would be shocked. I mean, with my absurdly handsome face and perfect body, which girl wouldn’t fall for me?"
(With that delusional confidence, Host, you might actually fail on purpose just to enjoy the drama. Also, you are still broke. Just Handsome.)
"Ouch, that hurt!"
In this world, people become adults when they turn 16. I’m also an adult and 6’2 in height and a face so absurdly handsome that even I can’t believe I look like that. My body is also perfect, athletic, and compact.
