My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

With a subtle stir of consciousness, an invisible ripple seemed to ripple through the air.

Lin Guang's eyes sharpened.

A splash.

A delicate, slightly cool sensation suddenly appeared in Lin Guang's palm. He instinctively curled his fingers, grasping the necklace attached to something, then brought it up to his eyes.

A delicate gemstone pendant appeared in his field of vision.

Lin Guang lowered his gaze, scrutinizing it seriously.

The pendant's setting was crafted from an unknown silver metal, the workmanship breathtakingly exquisite. Silver threads as fine as hair intertwined and coiled, outlining gorgeous and captivating patterns, layered and interwoven, firmly encasing the gemstone at the center.

Yet what truly grabbed attention was the gemstone itself.

It bore no resemblance whatsoever to the murky, dull gemstone of Mengmengxiang. It had no color at all, appearing utterly transparent, pure and flawless.

This was absolutely none of the minerals Lin Guang recognized; it possessed an indescribable, translucent quality, even giving the illusion that one's soul might be drawn into that crystalline clarity.

“...”

No, it wasn't an illusion.

Lin Guang took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

There was no consciousness inside the gemstone—neither malice nor goodwill—only an inexplicable magic power coiled within.

But that call was real.

It came from the reminder of his talent, 【Soul Link】.

It was calling to him.

【Grasp it.】

【Make a contract with it, and then—】

“...”

The boy stared at the gemstone.

He had countless times pondered topics like, “Is signing a contract a trap?” or “Will some disgusting creature like a Q○ try to trick me?”

After all, in all sorts of works, the power of magical girls often came at a price—a heavy sacrifice demanded in exchange.

Because this was recorded in far too many stories.

But when it truly arrived, Lin Guang became immensely calm instead.

No matter where other magical girls drew their power from...

This gemstone before him was merely the reflection of his own soul.

Making a contract with it meant making a contract with himself.

I am you, and you are me.

The next instant, the chain slipped free.

And the moment the gemstone fell, that slender hand had already clenched it tightly.

Then...

Gripped it fiercely!

In that instant, an invisible spark seemed to silently ignite within the originally void-like transparent interior.

“.........”

Everything in Lin Guang's conscious world ground to a halt, as if the ticking second hand of a clock had abruptly frozen, moving at a snail's pace.

All scenes froze as if time had stopped, the world shattering into fragmented frames in his eyes. Though only a single step away from the next moment, it stretched into an eternity.

And so, this instant became a frozen miracle.

In the silence of the world's stillness, Lin Guang suddenly heard a faint melody singing within his body.

At first, it was extremely soft, flowing out like water, then gradually becoming clearer, grander.

Until he finally made out what it was.

It was the sound of the crimson magic power and emotions flowing within him.

In a snap, the melody, swirling like flowing water and blazing fire, rose to its peak, unleashing a magnificent and grand symphony.

Thoughts and ideas ran wildly out of control like a runaway horse, past memories flashing by like water, accompanied by uncontrollable thoughts.

【Make a contract with me, and become a magical girl!】

【Lovely yet obsessive, but death will bring me!】

【Moon Prism Power, Make Up!】

【Lilycarmel Magicarmel, Jewel Seed, No.21, Seal!】

【Balwisyall Nescell Gungnir Tron!】

【Key hiding the power of darkness!】

【Compact Full Open! Mirror Corridor, Maximum Expansion!】

【Tail On!】

【Dual Aurora Wave!】

【Open! Tear-Drop Mystery Scepter!】

...

Though he didn't want to admit it, Lin Guang's first reaction was to unearth far too many stale memes from his memory.

He really felt he hadn't watched that many magical girl shows—at most, he'd just followed the crowd and gotten pulled in.

But.

All along, this had truly been proof of his own existence, the very foundation of his soul.

And all of this was infused into that gemstone.

Thump!

A vibration, like an auditory hallucination.

A dazzling flame suddenly rose at the center of the gemstone, expanding at an astonishing speed. In an instant, it completely saturated the entire transparent gemstone, rendering it into an extremely gorgeous, rich crimson—like blood or blazing fire—beating like a living heart.

Contract established.

The next moment, the red light in the room converged again.

【Lin Guang (Mengmengxiang)】

【Talent: Precision Operation Engine (A), Soul Link (A)】

【Ability: Magic Power (D-), Magic Aptitude (D-), Spirit Outfit Mastery (C), ★Magical Girl Transformation★ (C)】

【Comprehensive Rating: D】

Two C-Rank abilities!

A powerful intuition surged into Lin Guang's mind.

Not only had his magic power and aptitude undergone a qualitative change again.

He had now mastered the core of the magical girl transformation.

Finally...

He could now transform in the real world too.

All he had to do was recite those familiar lines and make those familiar poses.

Instinct told him that if he did this... with the music playing, that slender, crimson figure would descend upon this world once more!

“Whew...”

Yet, the turmoil in the boy's eyes soon subsided into calm.

The next moment, he suppressed the urge to try transforming, and then—

Lay straight down!

Every time before, after coming out of the Trial World, Lin Guang would rest and recuperate for a while, conserving his energy before starting the next round.

It was now ten in the evening, typically already the last round of the day. He had originally planned to finish this round, take a nice bath, and sleep, not leaving any fatigue for the next day.

But now, Lin Guang was in great shape, and he was impatient—desperately impatient.

The game had advanced to this most critical point; how could the hero flee the battlefield!

System, activate!

But the next moment, Lin Guang's eyes widened slightly.

A never-before-seen bright red warning frame flashed on his retina.

【System Warning.】

【Your previous attempt has triggered “Special Plot.”】

【Hint: Based on system calculations, under S-Rank Initial Trial difficulty, your probability of achieving a B-Rank or higher rating does not exceed 0.037%.】

【Note: This calculation has factored in your talents and past in-game performance.】

【If the result of restarting this trial is still unsatisfactory, the system cannot guarantee the ability to “restart” the trial again, nor can it guarantee whether your spirit will suffer irreversible damage from the trial.】

【Restart Trial?】

For the first time, the system—which had always only expressed its desire for performance and its terrible meme taste in the achievement column—offered a prompt laced with guidance and warning.

It was like silently saying...

It was enough.

Defeating the 【Abyss King】 and achieving a B-Rank evaluation in just 77 tries was already impressive, far exceeding the system's own estimates.

Even if he chose to continue, the chance to start over might no longer exist. Facing that immense despair, finally faintly revealing its outline...

Entering again might not accomplish much...
