Chapter 1: The Troubles of the Young Subin
The sea breeze was salty, and tall buildings stood in rows.
Subin took a sip of the fat otaku's happy water, but he couldn't understand why he had to transmigrate.
He had been battling it out in a luxuriously decorated e-sports room on the 32nd floor with his nine adopted sons… and then a dump truck dropped from the sky, transformed into Optimus Prime with dramatic BGM, and handed him a one-way ticket to another world.
"Young man, it's your turn to get isekai."
The next moment, with a blink, he arrived in a strange world.
He could barely recognize the words on the road signs—thanks to some solid schooling with a strong Far Eastern flair.
But still, why him?
Is this fate? He was chosen one?
Did he look like a villain candidate?
Profound wisdom, lofty ideals, a clear life plan, a happy family… weren't there plenty of people out there who also had those?
Before he could figure anything out, lines of text began to scroll across his vision and instantly caught his attention:
[System binding successful]
Well, at least he got a cheat plug-in. A small win.
[Welcome to the Pure Love Yellow Hair System]
(TL: Oof NTR guy haha)
"…"
?
Was it him, the world, or the system that was messed up?
Pure love… and yellow hair? Those words don't belong together.
"Is this system for real?"
[Dear host, the first 10,085 hosts unanimously rated this system as not serious, with a perfect score]
"…"
So, is the world unserious, the system unserious, or am I the one who's unserious?
Subin didn't have the answer, so he decided to roll with it.
I mean, come on, what kind of transmigrator ditches their cheat just because it's a little strange?
What if this world is full of superpowered people with absurd sensory stats, magical girls fighting off tentacle beasts, and pedestrians getting yoinked into shady woods without warning?
Cracking his knuckles, the boy, Subin, started studying his plug-in.
"Hehe~~~"
Then…
[Mission 1: Join Raiden Mei and Kiana's family]
[Mission 2: Join Bronya and Seele's family]
"…"
You promised Taimanin and Princess Knight, but gave me a bunch of Valkyries?
(TL: 'Taimanin and Princess Knight' When used together, it likely refers to a genre crossover or pairing of two archetypes—a demon-fighting ninja and a noble warrior princess—either as allies or in contrasting roles. This pairing is popular in fantasy and adult visual novel settings, particularly in doujin (fan-made works) or eroge (adult games).)
Subin's smile froze.
He thought he had traveled to a peaceful, harmonious otherworld, but no, he was in the Honkai universe, where everything was either burning or collapsing.
This world was full of beings who could destroy planets.
"Please spare me."
The traverser put on a pained expression.
But when he looked down again, his mood lifted a little.
[Mission 3: Join Durandal and Rita's family]
Thankfully, this wasn't that garbage worldview where everyone dying together was considered a good ending.
In Honkai Impact 2, the "perfect ending" was everyone dying together.
In Honkai Impact 3rd, everything looked peaceful on the surface, but it was a ticking bomb of civilization-ending disasters.
Still, if someone were to land safely in Honkai Impact 3rd, even a nobody could have a shot at winning the finale.
If their landing spot wasn't already a death flag.
"System, where am I now?"
A map appeared in Subin's field of vision and slowly zoomed in.
Asia, East Asia, Far East, sky…
'Oh no. This was bad.'
He had played the HonkaiImpact, but skipped most of the story.
Still, one thing was clear from the domestic violence documentary Lament of the Fallen: this city was doomed to be wiped out by a 2014 disaster and become a haven for monsters and chaos.
Now he was here? He walked straight into the pit.
He wasn't local, had no money, no ID, no passport, no visa. No hope of escape.
Triathlon training? Swim across the Pacific?
Or maybe…
"Joining Kiana and Raiden Mei's family is my only way out?"
Becoming part of the protagonist group and escaping with them was the best plan he had.
But there was still a major problem.
In the face of the Honkai, all life is equal.
If he didn't have Honkai resistance, he probably wouldn't survive long enough to see a "plot."
And trying to wedge himself between two girls? Just by talking?
"This'll be rough."
Would anyone believe him if he said Nagazora City was going to be destroyed?

(TL: What an hentai protag ability I want one)
An absolutely unorthodox system with a full set of questionable powers.
But honestly?
"These are kinda awesome."
No time to hesitate—Subin stood up and randomly picked a lucky, beautiful girl on the street.
"My lady, could you point me to Chiba Academy?"
…
Chiba Academy
A snow-haired girl blinked awake, lifting her head from a drool-stained desk.
Kiana looked around in a daze. The classroom was empty.
"Did class end already?"
Another beautiful day had passed.
The ultimate invincible, adorable Kiana had slacked off all day and slept until twilight.
The sky had darkened quickly.
She noticed it was already dinner time.
Normally, her cook would've woken her up and taken her to buy ingredients for tonight and tomorrow.
But there are always exceptions.
After a long stretch, her right eye twitched for some unknown reason.
"My right eye is twitching. Must be superstition."
After all, in the modern era, ghosts aren't allowed—unless the left eye twitches, then you're getting rich.
After packing up, Kiana wiped the drool off her cheek and headed for Raiden Mei's classroom.
Surely Mei would still be waiting for her.
She hopped along the corridor, full of energy.
"Mei, let's go home together!"
But in the classroom, besides Raiden Mei, there was… a strange guy.
And they were having a pleasant chat.
The boy's hair glowed golden under the setting sun.
Yellow hair!
'Oh shit!'
