How Could I, a Witch, Possibly Be the Saint Who Saves the World?

(Western fantasy, Cthulhu, yandere, multiple heroines, controlled transformation)

On the pyre, Bai Qiyue, despised by everyone, finally understood one thing:

Not everyone reborn gets to be a hero or an invincible chosen one.

Of course, there are also people like Bai Qiyue, who just try to live honestly and keep their heads down.

But... even if you're going to give me a golden finger, at least give me a good one! What do you mean, turn me into a witch?

Bai Qiyue was just an ordinary apprentice at the Gray Tower. While sorting through relics, he accidentally touched a blank mirror. When he woke up, he'd become a silver-haired beauty. Becoming a beauty was one thing, but... why was he classified as a witch?

Other people who are reborn defy fate and change their lives. He was being cremated on the spot.

Just as he thought his life was about to end in a hasty blaze as a "roasted witch,"

Astrea Vilan, his childhood friend from the orphanage and an inquisitor, stepped in front of the pyre.

Even though everyone despises me, you're still going to protect me?

Bai Qiyue was so moved he nearly burst into tears.

Wait, what do you mean, "I'm a perfect research subject"?

So I'm not getting burned to death, but I'm getting cut up instead?

And there's another problem: his childhood friend, the inquisitor, didn't seem willing to let him go.

What comes next?

The witch, who likes girls, thinks she's one of her kind and even wants to force herself on him?

I'm a guy, you know!

The reborn saintess is convinced he'll destroy the world, so she's been keeping a close eye on him.

So... does being reborn mean you have to smile through it?

Heh.

Screw that!

The gears of fate began to turn, but as far as Bai Qiyue was concerned... his most urgent task right now was to turn himself back into a man.
