An unrelenting chill engulfed Bochang's entire body.
He felt as if lying naked amidst icy snow and freezing winds.
The black-haired youth tried to open his eyes but couldn't, as though trapped in a vivid dream.
Two female voices suddenly echoed nearby.
"What's with this guy? Buy one, get one free? This isn't mentioned in Elio's script..."
"Not sure, but someone from the Astral Express will be here soon. We don't need to worry about him; just leave him here."
One voice was soft, carrying a hint of allure—clearly belonging to an assertive big sister type.
The second voice was crisp, its tone icy yet precise, unmistakably indicating a stoic character, very Type A.
"My room...why are there girls here? And what do they mean by their conversation... Elio? Astral Express? Hm... why does it sound so familiar..." Time flew like a fleeting white horse, and events changed swiftly like shifting clouds. After rapid mental processing, he had a sudden realization, "Wait... isn't that from 'Star Rail'?"
"Did I get reincarnated?"
Struggling to open his eyes, Bochang aimed to assess the situation outside.
After a strenuous effort...
Finally, with gentle fluttering of his eyelids...
The black-haired youth's eyes opened wide.
His pupils contracted, focusing the light as his vision gradually became clearer.
Lying on the ground, Bochang began examining his surroundings.
The square room resembled a prison cell.
Apart from a display screen and something akin to an exhibition stand, there were no other furnishings.
Not far away lay a young girl.
Ahead, just as Bochang initially sensed, were two women—one tall, one short.
Cough...
He referred to their apparent ages, definitely not anything else.
"Hmm... He's awake now, faster than a shooting star. Kafka, handle this, please."
The silver-haired girl, relatively petite, wore her hair in a high spiral ponytail, her expression cold.
Worth noting—her attire was quite revealing.
She wore a black open jacket with white faux fur trim, revealing her slender snow-white waist beneath. Inside, she had on a short white one-shoulder top and a black bandeau bra concealing mysterious contours.
Her lower attire consisted of tight black shorts paired with leg bands... exposing her perfectly rounded legs without any restraint. Her feet were clad in long black boots, complemented by fishnet stockings underneath.
It was none other than—Silver Wolf!
Although the real world differed from the virtual realm, Bochang instantly recognized her identity due to that distinctive duck-like face. However, her figure seemed less flat than expected, suggesting padding might be involved (with absolute certainty).
He has truly...
Crossed over...
Bochang realized he genuinely crossed dimensions! The familiar surroundings before him confirmed this truth, leaving no room for doubt.
"I was just staying up late playing Star Rail, how did I end up crossing over?"
"Then let me handle it," interrupted Kafka, another woman present. Her voice caught the attention of the black-haired youth, drawing his gaze towards her.
Mesmerizing wine-red hair cascaded down, matched by equally captivating eyes of the same hue.
Compared to Silver Wolf, Kafka's figure was significantly better.
Although her attire covered almost every inch of skin, leaving little exposed, nonetheless... whether it was the fullness at her chest or those shapely long legs wrapped in burgundy stockings, each feature commanded attention effortlessly.
Just as Bochang was about to speak, a neutral electronic voice sounded in his mind:
[Dating Options activated.]
[Option 1: At this moment... there's no more time for hesitation. Shout loudly at Kafka, "Mom!"] - Completion Reward: Randomly obtain the power of one out of twelve talismans.
[Option 2: Yelling can be uncouth and may startle others. Instead, try gently saying, "Kafka?" ] - Completion Reward: Kafka's Bigshot Punch.
[Option 3: As someone who has suddenly appeared, perhaps acting normal would be best. Express confusion with, "Who... are you?" ] - Completion Reward: Unlock the Abundance Fate Path and receive a random Imaginary Power.
As the electronic voice sounded, Bochang noticed that the entire world seemed to pause.
Apart from his consciousness still functioning, his body was completely immobilized, unable to move or even breathe.
Everything in this space halted, including Kafka who had been approaching him.
Lying on the ground, Bochang seized this opportunity to carefully examine Kafka.
If not for the fact that his eyes couldn't move, he would undoubtedly have taken more time to observe Silver Wolf as well.
The reason was simple—to uplift his mood through appreciation.
After briefly studying Kafka, Bochang turned his attention to his "Dating Options."
A blue screen appeared before him, displaying the detailed content of the three options.
"So... is this my transmigration cheat? Looks like a system-type with time manipulation capabilities... But these options are quite peculiar; where are the promised dating choices?"
[Please note, during the selection of Dating Options, time does not actually stop. The current effect... merely extends an extremely brief moment to appear infinite, creating the illusion of time cessation.]
Bochang was taken aback. "Oh? Can you actually answer questions too?"
This time... no electronic voice responded.
Bochang pondered for a moment.
"Can I remain in this state indefinitely?"
[Maximum one minute. Warning... You have thirty-three seconds left to make a decision. If no choice is made, the Dating Option will randomly select for you.]
With slightly furrowed brows, the black-haired youth cautiously asked, "Where did your system come from... and why so daring?"
Receiving no response, Bochang had to change his question.
"Can I choose all options?"
[No, once you complete a specific option, the reward will be immediately granted, rendering subsequent choices invalid.]
There were still over twenty seconds remaining.
Bochang meticulously examined the three options.
Option two didn't even require consideration; it could be instantly dismissed.
Who would want Kafka's Bigshot power...?
He wasn't some pervert, after all.
That left only options one and three.
The reward for Option three—unlocking the Abundance fate path and obtaining a random Imaginary power.
It seemed like the conventional path in this world.
It might not be outstanding, but it certainly wouldn't be poor.
As for Option One's reward—randomly obtaining the power of one out of twelve talismans.
This essentially feels like gambling.
Drawing the Tiger and Sheep talismans was honestly quite frustrating. After all, these two talismans seemed temporarily useless to him.
"Well then... I choose Option One!"
Bochang made his decision, the reasoning being simple.
Aside from Tiger and Sheep, the effects of the other talismans appeared promising.
The potential benefits outweighed any drawbacks.
If he could draw the Mouse talisman, he might even revive his anime waifu.
Although still not particularly practical, it would definitely feel satisfying.
Time resumed its flow.
Within Bochang, an uncontrollable surge of emotion began brewing.
He shouted loudly towards Kafka, "Mom!"
Immediately after yelling, Bochang felt embarrassed, but fortunately, his thick skin prevented any visible signs of discomfort.
Kafka abruptly halted, staring with astonishment at the black-haired youth before him.
The young man looked around eighteen years old, with flowing black hair and a rather handsome face. However, his only attire was a pair of SpongeBob boxer shorts, which did not make a favorable first impression.
Just as Silver Wolf, chewing bubblegum, blew a pale pink bubble, it burst abruptly at the sound of Bochang's "Ma!"
Caught off guard by Bochang's exclamation.
