The Mercenary King is a famous individual. He completed his mission with 100 percentage. A perfect mission and widely spread fame. Males and females all adore him. He is a man who could go both ways as long as the counterpart is beautiful.
His combat capabilities were precise yet aggressive with this strength cut above the rest he could almost do anything he wanted. He is also witty enough not to be taken advantage of. He is a male god type but unfortunately, when he transmigrated to the other world, everything had been reversed.
His former six-pack abs refined throughout his adventure had turned into a soft and flat board. His hard muscled arms from years of training had turned to fair and flawless. It was even softer than females.
After digesting the fact that he is no longer in his own room and possesses a different body that the Mercenary King panics for the first time. His heartbeat and mind were both in chaos as he could believe that those things he read from a danmei book before would happen to be the same world he had transmigrated with.
The mercenary scanned the whole room and immediately spotted the location that was most likely to be the bathroom. He runs off to look at his appearance reflected in the mirror.
Seeing the delicate features which almost made him look so fragile. Staring at those pairs of peach blossom eyes and purple irises looking back at him. Similar features in detail explained in the book suddenly appearing in front makes the Mercenary King realize what his transmigration ended us.
"What the fuck!? Of all people, why this one!?" shrieked the Mercenary King while gripping his ordinary chocolate brown hair. "Why the hell did I have to become that pale-faced Bai Yuyan na!?"
[Ding! Mercenary System Activated! Host Bai Yuyan had been completely registered.]
The Mercenary King heard the sound of the system that accompanies him all his life as a Mercenary. It was thanks to this system that he was able to become the king among all mercenaries. This system helps him check on people's capabilities and estimate his death rate.
It would also give away some opinion during the mission which would give which routes would allow him to choose his ending. This system had its own intelligence like an AI.
The Mercenary King would now be called Bai Yuyan.
"Tsk! Who would expect that you would also accompany me even here, Stella."
[A/n: The Mercenary King calls his system Stella which means star. As he treats Stella as the guiding star of his life.]
[You are awake, Host. Stella will now send you the information of the vessel the host is in and knowledge of this world. Plus the memories of that vessel. Please bear the pain, Host.]
As soon as System Stella finished speaking with his host, an electrifying pain spread in Bai Yuyan's body. He could only slouch at the rink of the bathroom writhing in pain. Groans and pants echo with the area as Bai Yuyan clutches his head as his whole body is covered in cold sweats.
Arrgh~ pants~ urgh~
After a minute, Bai Yuyan was given everything he needed to be able to adapt to this world.
"Thank God, this kid is an orphan with few friends. There is no need to pretend too much as I live in this world. According to the knowledge you've passed to me in this world there are unique people called sentinels and guides.
Sentinels were the strongest kind of being in the world and could be considered someone from the demigod race. They possess strength beyond normal and a spirit that could control the energy of this world but they are prone to what they called mania where they would sometimes lose their mind and fall into madness.
And the ones that could save a berserk sentinel are only a guide. A guide had a stronger spirit than most Sentinels this allows them to calm down the mania which causes chaos within the spirit realm of a Sentinel. They were able to soothe the raging spirit of a Sentinel.
The Guides really have it bad huh? They needed to be intimate with a sentinel to save them from mania. Thankfully, it is against the law to force a guide pair with a sentinel against their wishes.
Right~ and I happen to be one of the guides. Arrgh~ I don't want my chrysanthemum to be burst by someone else!!!"
Ignoring his own host who is about to lose his mind after knowing that from a mercenary king which all the females adore, he becomes a guide who had to sell his ass to save someone.
[Host, calm down. As a guide, I have become your quantum beast. The host should think about what appearance Stella would take. You can only transform me into something once. Moreover, there are restrictions. Since the host had no special bloodline mythical creatures like azure dragons, phoenix, black turtle, and white tigers are not accessible.]
Bai Yuyan murmurs, "As expected, by the way, what is the original quantum beast of this body?"
[It's a rabbit.]
"Excuse me. Can you repeat that? I seem to be hearing things and overhear delicious things being mentioned."
[My host you are not hearing things. It is something the host loves to eat whether it is grilled, roasted, fried, or stew. A rabbit. That is Bai Yuyan's quantum beast.]
"Fuck! Where is it now?" asked Bai Yuyan.
[Stella ate it already. Host, please choose what Stella should take.]
Now that the former rabbit quantum beast had already been eaten, the mercenary king completely lost interest in that topic and move on to the next one. "I haven't thought of something yet. This is a school right, let's go to the library."
[Host, you do know in this world there is something called a communication device. It can be connected to a star network which is like the internet in the former world.]
"Oh~ that seems quite used... full."
His purple peach blossom eyes suddenly turned sharp. Bai Yuyan suddenly stops talking and looks at the door of his room as if something extremely frightening is standing just beyond that door.
His enhanced intuition tells him that something dangerous is approaching him but what he didn't expect is that he was only able to notice it when it stops right in front of his door.
Bai Yuyan asks his system, "Stella as my quantum beast, can you fight with me in this world?"
[It will depend on the host's choice for Stella's vessel.]
"Become a variant black leopard. The first form is in normal mode and the second is in flying mode. With special abilities to change your size and stealth."
[Configuration of the vessel in progress. 10%... 30%...60%...90%...100%.
Ding!
First form: Normal Mode integrated. Status: Unlocked Approved!
Second form: Flying Mode integrated. Status: Locked. Reason: Spirit required S rank.
Special Skills

Stella's form: Variant Black Leopard. Ding! Configuration Completed!]
Inside the room, within some space suddenly swirls into a distortion. A Black Leopard suddenly appeared and approached Bai Yuyan.
[Master, in this form Stella can't openly speak with you. Quantum beast of this world is not able to speak.]
"It's alright. Just get ready. He is coming..."
Knock. Knock. Knock.
A voice was heard from beyond the door.
"Student Bai. This is Student Feng. Dean Astra had tasked me to bring you to his office. This is because of your problem with scholarship."
The one outside the room is Feng Jing. Bai Yuyan and his quantum beast Stella were rendered speechless by such an unexpected event.
[Student Feng. Full name: Feng Jing. The young lord from the Clan of Phoenix, the Feng Clan. It is a famous family that is made up of high-ranking Sentinels and Guides.
The Patriarch is called Feng Xuan. He is a former Sentinel marshal. His wife, Xue Xia, is a former General who worked under him. He is also his paired guide. They both possess SS potential and are from the same generation as Marshal Janus.
Feng Jing is an unawakened guide. He is also the youngest lord of the Feng Clan. The most precious child of the Phoenix Family.]
Bai Yuyan thought of the things he remembers from the danmei novel he had read before. Where the original Bai Yuyan as the protagonist shou and Feng Jing as a villain. "According to the book this boy was bullied by that brat until he was beaten up half dead."
[Master. That book may be the same world as this one but unlike from that book, the people here are all real. The names of the characters might be similar but it does not mean the plot from the book would be the same as here. Though there might also be some things similar from the book.
For now, let us meet Student Feng and decide what should be done next.]
Bai Yuyan sighed and said, "That's right. There should be no problem. If some parts are similar to that book, that means the possibility of Feng Jing in this world is the same as the book. Stella returns to the spirit domain but don't forget to check on him if he had already awakened as a guide or not. Also, compile his personal data for me."
[Yes Master!]
The black leopard had once again disappeared from thin air. Like the quantum beast, he had become Stella and was able to stay at Bai Yuyan's spirit domain.
Spirit Domain is a special space in the mind of the Sentinels and Guides. This is where their quantum beast lives. These quantum beasts were like the alter ego of the sentinel and guide. They were like their instinct or beastly nature as a special being.
[Master, Stella is ready.]
"Okay. Let's go."
With all the preparations finished, Bai Yuyan finally approached the door and naturally opened it. Once the door had parted, Bai Yuyan was surprised to see a gentle and innocent young man with silky silver long hair loosely tied on his back and those phoenix-shaped eyes paired with crimson-colored irises.
This Feng Jing's appearance is perfectly refined to perfection. Contrasting embodiments of Snow and Fire. His exquisite features plus his innocent gaze. He is like an untainted and unattainable flower growing on a snowy cliff. Beyond other reach but unable to remove your right from such a unique being.
Bai Yuyan's thoughts, 'Wow~ so pretty~'
[Master. Stella finished compiling Feng Jing's Profile.
Name: Feng Jing
Age: 18
Type: Guide (Unawakened)
Special Bloodline: Feng (Phoenix)
Physique: A
Spirit: S
Overall potential: SS]
[A/n: These are the original Feng Jing's profile before Hei Anjing took over.]
Meanwhile, System Yue, who was hovering invisibly around his host, had noticed the presence of another system. But unlike normal system's this one had no origin.
[Host. This one possesses a system but it isn't a special being like the systems from the Main System. It is manmade and has intelligence. It was born without a soul and was reborn with one after becoming this protagonist shou's quantum beast.]
"I see... But why am I smelling the scent of forest and wind?" asked Feng Jing to his system in his mind.
[How's your reaction to the scent, Host?]
"It's disgusting."
[Hahaha~ Host that is pheromones emitted by Bai Yuyan as a guide. Normally between guides, there would be no rejection but... The host has always been sensitive to scent.]
Feng Jing, "No wonder. The only scent I love is my husband's. Thanks to the Feng Bloodline in this body I don't reject the scent coming from this family. So it's bearable. But this is one... It's disgusting."
In reality, Feng Jing's innocent facade is perfect. Even if he felt retching from the inside, with his Master Level skill in acting Feng Jing retains his white lotus appearance.
"Student Bai. Please follow me in the dean's office. Dean Astra had called for you." says Feng Jing with a smile.
Bai Yuyan responded well despite almost being bewitched by Feng Jing's gentle smile.
"Please go ahead, Student Feng. This one shall follow after you," said Bai Yuyan quite politely as he remembered from his memories that the one in front of him is a pureblood noble.
Feng Jing, "This way, Student Bai."
Following behind Student Feng, Bai Yuyan tried to maintain the former image of the original and keep his head lowered in the presence of a noble. As the original Bai Yuyan is a commoner and was used to fear those of noble clans.
