Dawnstar Dynasty, Aelsryel
Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Eirik glanced at his reflection in a puddle by the roadside. Before him stood a boy in tattered linen clothes.
Though his attire was ragged, he was tall and handsome—almost identical to how he had looked before his journey. The only problem was that his thin clothing left him shivering in the cold wind.
"Have I really become a poor citizen in another world?"
With a sigh, Eirik felt a pang of disorientation. It had finally hit him: he had crossed into an unfamiliar realm, a world where magic, elves, goblins, and more truly existed!
As he stood lost in thought, several bright lights zipped overhead—people were flying around on magical devices!
"Wow, I want to learn magic too!"
Just as he thought this, a sharp pain shot through his head, overwhelming him with unfamiliar memories.
"Sorry, you lack magical aptitude. Starlight Academy of Magic does not accept you!"
"You're destined to have no connection with magic in this life. It would be better to focus on working hard and earning money on the streets..."
"Earn money? But I haven't earned a single coin!"
A bitter string of memories rushed back—years of grueling work that left him threadbare and starving.
"So, I can’t learn magic... and I can’t even make money?" He thought.
"Is there a more unfortunate transmigrator than me? No way!"
He had crossed into another world and yet was destined to live as an ordinary, struggling person.
Suddenly, a cheerful mechanical voice rang out, clear and pleasant.
【Ding! The Queen's Ascendance Program is starting. Are you ready?】
Eirik's heart leapt.
"Oh, haha! It's the system! Finally, it's here!"
His spirits lifted, and he quickly selected "Ready."
【The game is starting... Launch complete!】
A series of text and a panel swiftly appeared in his mind.
【Next, you will play the role of a supporting character. Your ultimate goal is to cultivate a supreme queen who stands at the pinnacle of power.】
【If you succeed, rewards will be granted based on your performance.】
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
A supporting character?!
Eirik stared at the screen, stunned. As a proud transmigrator, wasn’t he supposed to be a dazzling hero? And now, he was assigned to be a side character?
"I’ve crossed into another world, and I'm playing a game? This feels a bit strange."
Despite feeling somewhat deflated, Eirik instinctively clicked on the panel, revealing an array of stunning profiles. Each girl seemed more beautiful and unique than the last, and he was left in awe.
"Well, given all these pretty faces, I suppose I can play along," he thought. After all, he enjoyed nurturing games. Watching his wives grow stronger over time had always been oddly satisfying.
"The system really delivers—these character designs are indistinguishable from real people! They surpass any mobile or PC game from my past life!"
Among the many profiles, one stood out—a graceful girl named **Elvynna**. She had a stunning appearance, her curves alluring, yet her icy demeanor gave her a regal aura. Eirik had a soft spot for cold beauties—conquering a woman like her, seeing her flustered... that was where the real satisfaction lay!
----------------------------------------
【Name: Elvynna】
【Race: Human】
【Age: 16】
【Talent: Elven Sovereign's Legacy: From birth, she bore the Regal Bone of the Ancients, a powerful relic of her Elven heritage. Although she has lost this bone due to various circumstances, her cultivation and strength still surpass that of her peers.】
【Talent: Unknown, Unknown…】
【Background: Unknown】
The game’s goal was to cultivate these girls into unparalleled magic users, so their magical abilities must meet high standards. Elvynna’s potential was clearly above average.
Her card lacked much information, but the phrase "Elven Sovereign's Legacy" was in purple—indicating rarity and strength.
Her talent, even without the **Regal Bone of the Ancients**, was still purple—what must she have been like before losing it? Would she recover it? If so, her power could be unimaginable!
Elvynna was undeniably a five-star character—a top-tier one! Her traits aligned perfectly with his desires. What more could he ask for? She was the one.
She was a rare, top-tier character—everything he needed for his first game. It was a no-brainer. Full speed ahead! He would nurture her well and, ideally, win her heart.
----------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in Aelsryel, a rundown little courtyard, a stunningly beautiful yet cold-faced girl stared in astonishment at the panel before her, murmuring softly.
"Queen Ascendance Program? What is this?"（The female lead's system is different from the male lead's; hers is a subordinate version, similar to how his is a master while hers is a servant. Keep reading, and you'll find it's actually quite exciting.）
Her voice was clear and melodious, like ice-cold water dripping—distinctive and soothing. This was Elvynna, the girl with the **Elven Sovereign's Legacy**.
She had been studying magic at home when suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in her mind.
【Queen Ascendance Program: Bound! Would the host like to start the game?】
Without much thought, Elvynna instinctively selected "Start."
【In the thirty-sixth year of the Dawnstar Dynasty, your power has reached the level of Practitioner, rapidly surpassing your peers.】
【Both the Aelsryel government and the Starlight Academy of Magic favor you; your future seems bright.】
【But little do you know, a vast conspiracy concerning you is quietly brewing.】
A conspiracy? Interesting. I want to see what this is about.
Elvynna’s beautiful eyes narrowed in thought. Despite her exceptional talent, Aelsryel was the largest city-state in the southwest, home to nearly ten million people. Among them were countless prodigies! Within **Starlight Academy of Magic**, many individuals could rival her! As an orphan without influence, why would she be involved in any grand conspiracy?
【Many geniuses within the Starlight Academy of Magic have been disappearing one after another, yet the instructors and the headmaster seem unfazed...】
Disappearing geniuses? Elvynna furrowed her brow, recalling the rumors of students and teachers vanishing. Could there really be a conspiracy unfolding?
【Feeling deeply threatened, you decide to remain indoors and focus on enhancing your strength in preparation for what’s to come. Just then, an unfamiliar mundane citizen unexpectedly pays a visit.】
With that, a beautifully rendered character illustration of the citizen Eirik appeared before Elvynna.
He was dressed in tattered linen but wore a gentle smile, his gaze mysterious.
He was strikingly handsome, enough to make many young girls swoon, but Elvynna merely glanced at him before returning to the screen. He was just a mundane who couldn't learn magic—what good was being handsome if it couldn't feed him?
Suddenly, her gaze sharpened as she noticed a small line of text beneath the illustration.
【Fortune: Mysterious Visitor】
Fortune? Wasn’t this man just a mundane citizen? As a Practitioner mage, why was her encounter with him labeled as fortune?
Confused, Elvynna clicked on Eirik’s profile, and a series of messages appeared before her.
