Volume 1, Chapter 2 – A Loli’s Light, Soft, and Easy-to-Push-Down Body

Translator Note

In the raw, there is a full status screen in a separate chapter, but I put it at the bottom of this chapter instead, so you won’t have a problem opening the chapters back and forth.

Although Tianyin had already realized from looking in the mirror that her height was ridiculously short, noticing it was one thing, experiencing the inconvenience firsthand was another matter entirely.

“Uwa, seriously, it’s such a low bed, and yet I actually have to jump down from it… Why, why can’t my feet reach the ground!”

Tianyin knew she was short, of course… but she still couldn’t accept that her height was barely over a meter.

Her small hands pressed against the edge of the bed. Taking a short breath, Tianyin gave a little hop and jumped down.

In truth, the bed was only about twenty centimeters off the ground. For an ordinary person, that height would be nothing. Anyone could step or jump down easily.

But for Tianyin, whose body was now that of a loli… twenty centimeters might as well have been a cliff.

The moment her feet touched the floor, a tingling numbness shot up from her soles and spread throughout her body.

“Eep~!”

The sudden wave of tingling made Tianyin let out an involuntary, cute little cry. Along with it came a wave of dizziness that filled her head.

“I actually… just from jumping off… my body already feels this awful…”

So the passive skill listed on her status screen, Light Body, Easy to Push Down, really did live up to its SS-rank potential…

No, calling it “potential” was an understatement! It had already made her body so fragile that there was no room for argument!

Opening her status panel, Tianyin’s eyes were met with the simple display of her character’s template.

Reаԁ oո ΚаtRеаdіոɡСαfе

Unlike the system’s other menus packed with endless data, this game’s status screen was surprisingly minimal.

Yes, minimal.

Displayed before her eyes were only three pieces of information.

════════♡════════ ❀ Tianyin ❀ ────────♡──────── ✿ HP: 9/10 ✿ MP: 10/10 ✿ Status: Slight Dizziness ════════♡════════

“Eh? What kind of messed-up body is this!”

Seeing her own stats, Tianyin fluffed up like an angry kitten.

Her tiny sharp fang peeked out, and in her jewel-like eyes, sparks of frustration seemed to flicker.

“I… I was a handsome young man just yesterday… and now I’ve turned into a fragile loli who loses a tenth of her HP just from jumping off a twenty-centimeter bed!”

“And to think my race is literally listed as ‘Loli’!”

As she fumed, Tianyin couldn’t help but grumble to herself.

“Ugh… damn system, if I ever see you again… I will… I will… I will bite you to death!”

After thinking it over, Tianyin realized that aside from her somewhat sharp teeth, she didn’t seem to have any weapon that could deal actual damage.

“Ugh…! Ow, ow, ow…”

Suddenly, her left hand accidentally bumped into the corner of the bed, and a sharp pain followed immediately. Her status bar dropped by three HP in an instant.

Even though she had turned into a loli, Tianyin felt that, as the man she once was, there was no way she would cry over such a tiny bit of pain.

Her male soul simply wouldn’t allow such behavior.

But whether it was because her new loli body couldn’t handle pain or because the system’s plug-in was already subtly affecting her… the fact remained that when she saw her HP, ten points in total, drop by three from just hitting the bed corner, Tianyin couldn’t help but feel utterly miserable.

“Uu… uu…”

In her first hour after entering this game world, Tianyin had managed to lose forty percent of her HP, all while in the safety zone, purely through self-inflicted damage.

……………

As the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

After surviving the terrifying twenty-centimeter fall and the trauma of bumping her hand on the bed, Tianyin figured her luck had to be about to turn around.

Guu~

Just as she thought that, an odd but strangely cute sound came from beneath her.

“Huh… what’s that…”

Tianyin blinked in confusion. Then came another “guu~” sound from her stomach.

At first, she thought she was imagining it. But now, she could clearly tell where the sound was coming from.

On the corner of her half-transparent status panel, a new word appeared: “Hunger.”

════════♡════════ ❀ Hunger ❀ ────────♡──────── The adorable loli Tianyin has recovered her HP, but because she restored 40% of it, her body has fallen into a state of extreme hunger. While under this condition, the adorable loli Tianyin will lose one HP every ten minutes from starvation until HP reaches zero. ════════♡════════

“Eh… am I… seriously going to starve to death?”

Seeing that she had already lost one HP, Tianyin began to panic.

If her math was right, she had about ninety minutes to find food before she died.

Well, it sounded like plenty of time on paper… but looking around the empty room with only a few shabby pieces of furniture, Tianyin knew there was no hope of finding food here.

That meant the only solution… was to leave the place she’d spawned in, this very room.

“Mm… guess this place really isn’t somewhere I can stay for long…”

Murmuring to herself, Tianyin glanced at the door a short distance away, feeling uneasy.

After all, she had already learned firsthand how fragile her body was, thanks to that SS-rank passive Light Body, Easy to Push Down.

If she went outside and happened to trip or bump into something…

With her remaining nine HP, even a simple fall on flat ground could probably kill her.

“Ah… but if I stay here, I’ll starve to death…”

Thinking about how her only two possible fates were starving or tripping to death, Tianyin’s mood sank even lower.

When she saw another HP point drop from starvation, she finally began to move toward the door.

“I… I refuse to become the first man (Loli) to starve to death! I’m destined to be the man (Loli) who’ll bite that damn system to death!”

Her tsundere self-talk somehow gave her the courage she needed.

With a “might as well die trying” attitude, Tianyin walked to the door and slowly placed her small hand on the handle.

A moment later, there was a soft click.

The door opened.

The art above is an official art from the raw. And the actual status screen is only plain text without any symbols, emojis, and lines. I designed it with a cute style to fit the theme of the novel. If you have any suggestion for the status screen, feel free to let me know~
