After finally sending off the last wave of overly enthusiastic students and colleagues who came to “learn from his experience,” Nari collapsed into his office chair, feeling completely drained.
He looked at the mess in the office.
The table was piled high with all sorts of snacks, drinks, love letters, and hand warmers, and the air was filled with a mix of fruity and milky scents.
He hadn’t expected everyone to be so enthusiastic!
He hadn’t played honkai: star rail, so was this anime-style game really that famous?
More famous than Honor of Kings?
Alright!
He definitely had to play it sometime.
This was no longer a Counselor’s office; it was clearly the backstage of a massive fan meet-and-greet.
His life, starting yesterday, had been hurtling towards a completely out-of-control, magical-realism direction.
Just as he was preparing to clean up the mess with a look of utter despair, a cold, mechanical voice, without any warning, echoed in his mind.
“[Detecting that host’s social influence has reached the initial threshold…] “[God-Tier COS Succubus Aura System, officially activated.]” Nari: “?” He poked his ears, suspecting that he was hallucinating due to the immense mental shock he had received today.
However, the next second, a translucent blue virtual panel, like a virus pop-up, suddenly “whooshed” open before his eyes.
Nari was so startled that he leaned back, the chair legs scraping against the floor with a harsh sound.
He reached out and tentatively poked the panel, his finger passing through it without any obstruction.
A hallucination?
“[host: Nari]” “[Titles: Jing Liu Under the Moonlight (Beginner), Principal-Certified Excellent Teacher (NEW!)]” “[Charm Value: 999+ (In female attire, has a dimensionality reduction attack effect on all living beings)]” “[Current Task: None]” Nari wasn’t surprised by the sudden voice, as he had heard it before when he was role-playing Jing Liu.
He had been curious then, and now he finally knew.
He really did have a system.
In this day and age, even life itself was starting to force cheats on him?
And it even updated in real-time?
What the hell was “Principal-Certified Excellent Teacher”?
That title sounded suspiciously like a certificate for public execution!
“[System Function Description: This system aims to help the host become the number one Coser in the universe.
Complete the COS tasks for designated characters to obtain some of their abilities or exclusive items.]” “[Character pool unlocked: honkai: star rail.]” Before Nari could even complain about the incredibly chuunibyou system introduction, a new window popped up on the panel.
“[Newbie Task Recommendation: COS Character — Natasha.]” “[Reason for Task: Detecting that the host has a strong need for healing.
Character ‘Natasha’ possesses the skills [Maternal Warmth] and [Gentle Therapy].
Upon completing the task, the host will receive ‘Basic Healing Art,’ which has miraculous effects in alleviating symptoms of rare blood diseases.]” The two words “healing” struck Nari’s chaotic thoughts like a bolt of lightning.
He immediately sat up straight.
On the panel, Natasha’s profile card slowly unfolded.
“[Character Background: Natasha, doctor of Belobog’s Underworld, the gentle leader of the ‘Wildfire’ organization.
In the resource-scarce and harsh environment of the Underworld, she is the guardian in everyone’s hearts, an never-extinguishing beacon, protecting the last hope with her medical skills and care.]” Nari looked at the description, then at the words “miraculous effects.” The shame he had been struggling with moments ago, the absurdity he had been complaining about, was instantly crushed into powder at this moment.
As long as it could save Aiko.
Forget about COS Natasha; even if he had to COS Cocolia right now, he wouldn’t even bat an eyelid.
“I accept.” He barely hesitated.
“[Task accepted.
Newbie COS costume has been issued.
Please host change into it as soon as possible.]” As soon as the words fell, a cardboard box appeared out of thin air on the office floor, with a drawing of Natasha pasted on it.
Nari walked over and opened it.
Inside was a neatly folded set of clothes, from the red and white doctor’s coat to black stockings, everything was included.
And…
on top, those two round, heavy, huge breast pads, which were Natasha’s very soul.
Nari’s face instantly flushed crimson.
He picked up the pair of “souls,” feeling his hands burning.
These things were just too exaggerated!
At least a D-cup!
It was terrifying.
Did he really have to wear this?
Wouldn’t that be social suicide?
System: “[Please host, quickly put it on.]” “Alright!” Nari gritted his teeth, as if making a certain resolution.
He furtively hugged the box and rushed into the small restroom attached to the office.
Ten minutes later, he walked out, leaning against the wall, his steps faltering.
An unprecedented sense of constriction came from his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He felt like he was walking with two weights on his back, every step unusually heavy.
This was too uncomfortable!
He couldn’t take it anymore; he had to change back immediately!
However, when he pulled open the locker where his clothes were stored, he found that the cabinet door was as if welded shut, not moving an inch.
“System?
Where are my clothes?” “[Hint: During the novice experience task period, to achieve the optimal character immersion effect, the host needs to maintain the COS state for twenty-four hours.]” “Twenty-four hours?!” Nari was going crazy, “This is forced consumption!
I want to complain!” “[Complaint invalid.
Please host, adapt to your new identity as soon as possible and enjoy the fun of COS.]” Enjoy?
Enjoy my foot!
Nari completely broke down.
He rushed to the restroom mirror, wanting to see what on earth he looked like now.
In the mirror, a woman with a fiery figure, gentle face, and blue-green hair quietly looked back at him.
It wasn’t just simple makeup and costume change.
With the system’s enhancement, his features were subtly softened, and his temperament, which was usually gentle and scholarly, transformed into Natasha’s unique mature charm, mixed with firmness and compassion.
Perfect, it was simply Natasha herself, stepping out of the game.
Especially…
especially those alluring curves, which made him, an original male, start to have improper thoughts.
Nari’s brain crashed.
He looked at the familiar yet strange “Nanako” in the mirror, a silent storm raging within him.
Wait.
He suddenly remembered something incredibly important and incredibly terrifying.
He still had a class this afternoon…
A political ideology class for his own students.
He had to stand in front of his students, looking like this, and teach them the basic principles of Marxism?
Nari let out a groundhog’s shriek internally.
