Question: In this perfect city, blessed with silver spheres from the heavens and advanced technology, how many steps does it take to become a magical girl?
Answer:
First, believe in love and hope;
Second, get a gorgeous magic wand;
Third, happily save the world with your best friends!
Gu Lin used to think so, too.
Until reality played a cruel joke on her.
Wielding a greatsword and a cannon, she doesn't fight cute little monsters, but bizarre urban legends spawned by technology and negative emotions.
Worse still, in order to save her friend, she lost her heart during her very first week of transforming.
Her body temperature plummets, her pulse weakens, her power spirals out of control, and death draws near once more.
"As long as nobody objects, your resistance is meaningless."
In this city blessed by the gods, pressure leaves everyone numb. No one chooses to be born, and to survive is to compromise and submit. Confusion brings life to its end, and Gu Lin ultimately becomes a monster unable to embrace her friends.
--"I am a magical girl."
But so what?
She declares it, pointing toward the divine miracle in the sky.
Even if the price of a miracle is losing the right to be human, even if the end of battle means losing herself completely, when darkness tries to drag everything she cherishes into the abyss, Gu Lin still makes her choice.
As long as her rage still burns, she will cut them all down.
As long as she still holds a weapon, she will fight back against this indifferent world to the end.
Even if her body mutates, even if her soul fades away, even if, in the end, her enemy is still too powerful to defeat--
--the battle will go on.
"Transform!"
