I Really Didn't Mean to Pilot a Mecha!

Xu Ning transmigrated to the interstellar era and became a frail young woman, so weak she could barely attend school. When she turned eighteen, a God of War System appeared in her mind.

A God of War? I can barely stand upright!!!

System: Become a God of War, and I'll extend your life. A fair deal, with no tricks!

Xu Ning: No.

The System panicked. Please, I'll not only extend your life, I'll make you healthy and strong, invincible across the universe! Please, please, please! If I don't complete my missions soon, I'll be completely formatted!

After they bonded, the System issued its first mission: get into a mecha academy.

Xu Ning thought she was hallucinating. With her useless physique and low-level mental strength, she wasn't even eligible to apply for the entrance exam.

System: Want to try some ancient health cultivation exercises and mental-strength training techniques?

*

Her mental strength barely passed the minimum requirement, and she scraped through the theory exam. Xu Ning entered the practical assessment in dead last, with no hope of catching up.

But how was Xu Ning, with only two months until the exam, no experience handling a mecha, and not the faintest idea how they worked, supposed to pass?

System: Want to try a test-prep space, a top instructor, and a professional sparring partner?

*

Xu Ning got into the mecha academy. Before she could catch her breath, the System sent her a whole pile of missions.

Get into Class A

Top the year

Dominate the league

Pacify the Eastern Front

Xu Ning almost keeled over, barely holding on to her last breath.

Is this System trying to extend my life? It's trying to kill me!

As a devoted league fan, Xiao A had looked down on Xu Ning when she took the mecha academy's practical entrance exam.

But the practical assessment had barely begun when Xiao A was stunned.

How could someone who switched over from the humanities fight so skillfully?

Yesterday she was fumbling with a side-mounted cannon and falling over during a backflip. How was she suddenly this good today?

!!! Mom! I just saw a genius!

Xu Ning, far away, thought: No sleep again tonight! I'm going to fight you talent-havers with everything I've got!

*

Bonus scene:

System: Xu Ning, Xu Ning, the God of War Academy doesn't compete in the league. How are you going to complete your mission?

Xu Ning: Who says only competitors can dominate the league? Exam proctors can do it too.

A heads-up: The heroine gets healthy right at the start, so there are no frail-and-sickly plotlines.

Coming soon: I'm Really Not the Leader [Cyberpunk]

You Li had transmigrated to a cyberpunk world years ago. After finally finding steady work as a convenience-store cashier, a System suddenly awakened in her mind.

The System seemed to be malfunctioning. It gave no explanation or instructions. All she knew was that the first phase was called "Let Cyberpunk Explode," and the first mission was "Join A City's Security Bureau and blow up its headquarters," with a reward of 500,000 credits.

You Li ignored the System. She'd have to be crazy to go blow up the security bureau.

But fate had other ideas. You Li joined the security bureau anyway and, somehow, completed the first mission by blowing up its headquarters.

You Li wanted to say it had nothing to do with her, but the System said, Here, take your 500,000.

After the first mission was complete, the System refreshed the next one: "Blow up A City's municipal building. Reward: one safe house."

You Li ignored it as usual, but then she started receiving anonymous messages one after another.

"You don't want other people finding out what you did, do you?"

"Boss, what do we do next?"

You Li: ? I think someone's setting me up!

*

The System's missions somehow got completed one by one, and You Li somehow became the world's greatest leader of the resistance, the elusive Mr. B. Her achievements were countless and won everyone's admiration! They all called her the Leader!

You Li was terrified. Just then, the System's voice function finally arrived.

[Hello, Host. Welcome to the Role-Playing System. Follow the mission instructions and play xxx. Once you succeed, you can leave.]

[New mission: Blow up the Golden Tower and kill the leader of the xx Consortium.]

You Li: !!! Don't come after me! I didn't do anything!
