Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

(This is not an invincible story; the protagonist's abilities will increase. Check out the adorable demonic loli! Apologies if it doesn't meet your expectations.)

Zheng Bai's last memory was in his university dormitory, where he had just finished reading the entire Jujutsu Kaisen manga and came across a post on a forum:

Will he be transported to a remote game to become the male protagonist, or will he go to the Jujutsu Kaisen to face off against Sukuna?

"Is there even a question?" Zheng Bai chose without hesitation—Gala Game.

What else? Should he be sent to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, where he'd be casually cut in half at the waist by Sukuna, turning into cannon fodder who could only say "So fast..." and then disappear like a revolving lantern, unable to satisfy Sukuna-sama's desires?

Are you kidding me? Aren't the cute girls in niche games appealing enough, or are you tired of sweet romance?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the dormitory's aging electrical circuits finally gave way to the full power of four computers and the air conditioner, and with a "bang," Zheng Bai's computer exploded.

"Damn it!" became his last words in this world.

......

When Zheng Bai opened his eyes again, he found himself in complete darkness.

"Could it be... that I've time-traveled?! Murasame! Kujou! Yuki-onna! I'm here!" Zheng Bai was overjoyed.

However, things rarely go as planned in life, and when he tried to move his body, he sensed something was amiss.

His massive body was as heavy as a mountain, and countless invisible constraints made it difficult for him to move.

Before Zheng Bai could think further, the Dharma wheel above the enormous body suddenly began to spin.

At first it spun very slowly, making a clicking sound, then it spun faster and faster, until the outline of the roulette wheel became a blurry halo in his perception.

"This Falun... Holy crap! It's Demon Xu Luo!"

He just finished watching Jujutsu Kaisen!

Dude! Didn't he choose a less popular game?! How come he was still put in Jujutsu Kaisen?!

They don't play by the rules!

Wait a minute! Doesn't the Dharma Wheel of Demon Void only turn when it's adapting? But we're not in battle right now, so what is it adapting to?

Zheng Bai's thoughts raced: "Could it be that it's adapting to the very phenomenon of my transmigration?"

Falun quickly provided the answer: this time, the way to adapt was through reconstruction.

Zheng Bai felt his body disintegrating.

Instead of feeling pain, it was the very existence of the Demon Lord that was being altered. His massive body began to disintegrate, and the curse power, rules, and even the concept of existence that constituted the shikigami were completely reorganized under the rapidly spinning Dharma wheel.

Zheng Bai felt his field of vision lowering, as if his entire body was being broken down and re-condensed. The heaviness in his body was disappearing, replaced by an unfamiliar lightness.

The constraints imposed by the shikigami contracts are also dissolving.

Zheng Bai understood; this was Mo Xu Luo adapting to his human soul.

With each rotation of the Dharma wheel, the new body became clearer. On the final rotation, after the wheel stopped spinning, the concept of the human sorcerer was fixed.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of rejection washed over him, and he, as a human, was forcibly pushed out of the world of shikigami.

In a slightly distorted alleyway beside a bustling street in Tokyo, a petite figure was ejected.

"Well."

Zheng Bai fell to the ground, letting out a soft groan.

?

Zheng Bai was stunned when he heard his own sweet, delicate voice.

"No way??" A terrible thought flooded her mind, and she lowered her head, trembling.

What comes into view is a pair of small, fair hands, with slender, delicate fingers and neatly trimmed nails. Long, silvery hair falls over her shoulders, shimmering in the dim light of the alley.

She raised her hand to touch her face; the touch was soft and smooth, a world apart from that of the shikigami, Demon Xu Luo.

She scrambled to a puddle at the corner of the alley and, by the faint light seeping in from the distant street, she could see her reflection in the water.

Silver hair, red eyes, and a youthful face of about twelve or thirteen years old. He wore a black tracksuit that was clearly several sizes too big, hanging loosely on his thin frame.

The serene Falun atop its head, a feature that sets it apart from ordinary humans, exudes a unique charm.

"I've become a Demon Void Girl?" She had seen similar fan-made content on online forums in her previous life, but she never expected to become like this herself!

"Fine, I understand, Demon Void Luo has adapted to becoming Demon Void Luo." After a while, she muttered to herself, trying to accept reality, "But can you tell me, where is my curse power?"

She tried to mobilize the power within her body, but found nothing.

She was completely empty in the literal sense, with no trace of magical power flowing through her. She was just an ordinary little girl.

The only consolation was that the feeling of being confined had completely disappeared.

She could feel that she was now free. Her body was no longer a shikigami, no longer bound by the contract. In terms of her nature of existence, she was judged to be a human sorcerer, even though this sorcerer's current sorcery power was zero.

However, all of Moxu Luo's abilities have been weakened to varying degrees.

She thought about it for a while, and it was possible that when Mo Xuluo was adapting to this body, he took care of her fragile soul.

He traded the restriction of having most of his abilities sealed for the identity of a human sorcerer and complete freedom.

As the awareness of the state increased, information about the body also flooded into the mind:

Kujo Mashiro, the last remaining member of the long-deceased Kujo family, a family of sorcerers.

"You can even adapt to the identity? Really?" Mashiro could only let out a long sigh and stand up.

"Um?"

Something was poking at her waist, and Mashiro reached in and pulled out a katana.

It is about sixty centimeters long, with a silver-white blade and a black hilt. With a casual swing, a faint, cold light appears on the blade.

To be honest, Demon Void only has one weapon left, right?

"The Sword of Exorcism." Mashiro murmured its name, examining it closely for a moment, and felt that the Sword of Exorcism was not much different from the one in the manga.

However, it now only retains the ability to have a certain special attack on cursed spirits and to cut off curse power.

"Adaptability, plus the sword of exorcism..." She stood still for three minutes.

Click, click, the Falun above their heads slowly turned.

A damp wind blew through the alley, stirring up dust on the ground. In the distance came the hustle and bustle of the city—the sounds of traffic and indistinct voices—all so real it was almost unreal.

This is the real Tokyo, the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the world where she knows all the plot points and all the tragedies.

And she is now Kujo Mashiro, a person who should not theoretically exist.

"...Alright then."

She finally spoke, her voice soft and sweet, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Since we're already here..."

Although I don't have any magical powers yet, I can't really go and become cannon fodder, can I?

Who wouldn't want to deliver a few profound quotes to various characters in a flustered and dramatic fashion, followed by a passionate elbow-to-kick exchange?

Now that you've become a Demon Void Girl and have the ability to adapt, don't live with the mindset of a weakling.

She stepped out of the alley, and the lights of the city that never sleeps poured down, illuminating her silver hair and red eyes.

The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians hurrying by. Mashiro looked up at the time displayed on the big screen. It was June 2018, and everything should have just begun.

She looked up, knowing that somewhere in this world, Itadori Hisahito would soon swallow the first Sukuna finger. The Shibuya Incident, the Death Returns, countless deaths and sacrifices… she remembered the whole story.

"In that case, as a Doctor of Pyromancy, I should do what I want to do: redeem some disappointed people and save some lives."

Kujo Mashiro had gotten used to it. She smiled and looked at her slightly trembling hands. It wasn't fear, but excitement at being able to personally participate in these thrilling events.

"Su Nuo, just you wait, I'm coming to elbow you."

As long as we keep adapting and getting stronger, then...

"You are the challenger."
