Chapter 1: The Fallen Genius
“Genius Girl Irina, I hate Feng!”
The pink-haired boy in front of the screen chuckled lightly as he read the blunt expression in the chat box, and quickly typed out a line of words to send.
“Coincidentally, I made several ‘moms’ in the game today. I wonder which one you’re talking about?”
Then, he quickly clicked on the other person’s avatar, blacklisted, reported it, selecting every reason, and even reported the avatar picture as well.
After completing all this, the boy’s hands left the keyboard, lounging back in his chair. His pair of sapphire eyes lazily squinted, as if waiting for something.
He felt it—the familiar and sweet negative emotions were streaming through the internet, making him hum unconsciously.
Just as he enjoyed this comfortable moment, a sudden series of urgent knocks came from the entrance, accompanied by a girl’s casual, crisp voice.
“Community warmth delivery, left it at your doorstep.”
Such an interruption made him a bit displeased, but when he opened the door and looked around, there was no one in sight, only the floating willow catkins causing him to sneeze.
Helpless, he had to pick up the package with suspicion.
It was a very light yet exquisitely wrapped pink gift box, with a Magical Girl Organization design on the surface, but this was so common that it didn’t catch his attention.
He casually placed the gift box down and sat back at his computer desk.
The city he lived in had the presence of Magical Girls.
But unfortunately, he awakened the talent of a Monster on his fifteenth birthday.
Monsters need to create and absorb human negative emotions to survive, but fearing retaliation from the Magical Girls, Sumu had never dared to create panic to obtain negative emotions, and to this day remained the weakest E-Rank.
But in a certain sense, the chaos he created was far more exaggerated than those famous Monsters.
He was a Monster living online, someone who expressed trolling remarks across major forums every day, leaving everyone helpless—Genius Girl Irina!
Because the popularity of Magical Girls was at its peak, Sumu established a Magical Girl persona for himself, indeed attracting significant attention.
At eighteen, without leaving home, he achieved freedom of negative emotions without personal danger; if it weren’t for still being protected as a minor just a few days ago, I, Sumu, would absolutely be the model Monster.
“I’m a bit hungry, let’s reply one more time.”
Scrolling the mouse wheel, Sumu browsed through the private messages filled with Magical Girl avatars, feeling somewhat bored.
This group of loyal Magical Girl fans were like powder kegs ready to explode, but thankfully, with them around, Sumu never lacked negative emotions.
“Can we have some fresh content?”
Suddenly, his attention was caught by a gray bunny rabbit that floated across the screen.
The ID was Gray Bunny, and the message was somewhat intriguing.
“You’re in for bad luck, little one.”
If this guy was cursing him, the aggression was too low.
Furrowing his brows, Sumu still opened the guy’s profile, and a dazzling white pop-up suddenly appeared, making his eyes dazzle.
Goodness, even throwing flash bombs on the homepage, let’s see what you’re made of.
——Stare 👀
After a two-second close look, a blush quickly crept up Sumu’s cheeks, but his eyes remained fixated on those extremely tempting Magical Girl photos.
His breath and heartbeat suddenly quickened, causing his skin to feel a bit hot.
This was outrageous, not the level a normal website could pass.
Just looking once, Sumu could tell this was definitely the real deal, and all were candid shots of daily life.
That was close; he almost lost control. Let me take a screenshot first.
Moments later, Sumu saved those photos in the highest quality while pinching his nostrils to control the surging heat within.
When he moved the mouse again, the screen suddenly became unresponsive, which puzzled Sumu, and he clicked several times in succession.
Still no response; the mouse was probably malfunctioning.
Soon enough, not just the mouse, but the computer crashed as well.
A mechanical rabbit the size of a fingernail chewed its way out through a little hole in the center of the screen, bouncing repeatedly in front of Sumu.
This guy also left a few round brown balls in the recycle bin’s trash icon, making Sumu grit his teeth in anger.
Clearly, his computer had been infected, but for someone like Sumu who frequently roamed the internet, it was merely a small matter. He took out a pirated reinstall disk, popped it into the computer, and began operating skillfully.
With no obstacles, the computer successfully revived, and Sumu hurriedly reopened the forum, searching for that rabbit that caused his computer to crash.
“Gray Bunny, huh…”
He successfully found that bunny and clicked on the private message.
The first thing that caught his eye was the other party’s mockery.
“Little one, sneaking into someone else’s homepage is a bad habit. Be careful of getting your box opened, okay?”
Box weapon? Interesting, but how could I possibly leave such a flaw?
“Then go ahead and open it.”
Genius Girl Irina’s account was not selectable; not only was it not real name registered, but the IP also hung over in Sakura, completely unrelated to this person sitting in the room.
“Oh, you have guts. Then I’ll send you your resident certificate.”
An image was sent over, causing Sumu’s previously relaxed demeanor to suddenly go tense.
It was undeniably the front of his resident certificate; he could never mistake it, especially that photo taken when he was twelve.
Back then, his pink short hair just reached his ears, and his big, glimmering apricot eyes blinked like a little loli, it was the kind that a priest would have difficulty looking at.
If it weren’t for the male designation on that form, anyone would have misidentified him.
“Do you know this is illegal?”
“Illegal? Mr. Sumu, are you aware that your actions have actually been troubling those Magical Girls? This is a considerably serious crime now; getting your box opened would not be surprising.”
“…At least don’t send it out, please!”
Sumu’s attitude immediately softened.
If those Magical Girls found out, he would be finished!
“Don’t send it out? It’s too late now; do you remember what I just said? You’re in for bad luck.”
Bad luck, could it mean—
Sumu alertly opened the Magical Girl forum, and in the pinned notice, he was horrified to find a nearly identical photo.
It’s worth mentioning that the gender was changed to female, and the number was obscured.
But for Sumu, these details no longer mattered.
Marlah!
The notice was issued by the Magical Girl Organization, stating that the Genius Girl Irina, who had long smeared the image of Magical Girls, had been locked down, and what awaited him next would likely be—
Being pinned down by a few women with staves, having his Monster identity exposed, then facing immediate justice!
Because being a troll like this was absolutely a major offense!
“Sister Rabbit, I sincerely apologize for the earlier offense; can you please help me…”
“Sure.”
The other party agreed far too readily, making Sumu’s carefully crafted excuse fall into chaos.
“Do you remember the gift you just received? Open it and take a look.”
Gift?
Sumu hurriedly tore open the lid of the gift box, a faint elegant fragrance instantly wafted out, like that of some incense herb, making him unable to resist sniffing.
Inside lay a star-shaped insignia.
To be precise, it was a Magical Girl transformation insignia.
