After get off work, I become a magical girl

Chapter 85 Remarks on the launch

2023-04-30

Hello readers, I am the author of this article, Hu Yan.

Thank you for reading this work. It is my honor to share my story with you through online serialization. I sincerely hope that you will like the present and the following stories.

Since I am willing to write a novel, it is enough to show that I am a person with a strong desire to express myself. Facing the first time in my life that my novel is put on the shelves, I actually want to put a lot of thoughts in it, but after thinking it over again and again, forget it. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to write more text?

The only remaining content is my self-introduction, and a brief talk about my writing career - I don’t really want to taint the word writing - in my early student years, I used other pen names to create some free anime fan works on Qidian.com (fan works in that era could not be put online), and later stopped writing and retired from the circle due to injuries and studies. It was only recently that I picked up my hobby of online writing again because I couldn’t suppress my daydreams that had nowhere to go.

Although I am considered an experienced writer in terms of the time I have been in the industry, the creations I made based on fan fiction did not allow me to hone my abilities in plot structure and rhythm control. After stopping writing for many years, my writing level and deduction ability have not improved but deteriorated, which makes me feel ashamed. For the time being, I may as well call myself a new writer with a smug look on my face.

This work, "After get off work, I Become a Magical Girl", or I will call it by the title I originally thought of: "A[LI]CE", is actually a challenge and attempt for myself. I have made a relatively complete outline and setting for it, and also left many foreshadowings in the early stage, hoping that it will support me to finish writing this book.

So, if signing and publishing the book is considered as the printing and publishing of paper media in the old days (which seems a bit like flattering myself), then this book is actually my debut work.

Thank you all for supporting and subscribing to my debut work. Your subsequent subscriptions will become the first royalties in my life.

If you have endured my uncontrollable Japanese light novel translation accent in the free chapters, the use of a large number of meaningless attributives in the wording, the bland plot arrangement, and the battle scenes that were actually very painful to write but I insisted on trying... I can only say thank you for your hard work.

Although I promise to work hard to correct it, these things will probably still be present in my writing for a short time. I apologize to the readers who dislike these elements but still give me a chance to read it, and I sincerely thank you for your tolerance and patience.

If you say you like these, oh, okay, maybe we are already soul friends.

After all, although this book is full of shortcomings that I am aware of myself, it is truly the product of my painstaking thinking and serious creation. It means a lot to me that you like it.

It was before the book was put on the shelves, and it was also the first time in my life that I had such an experience. I can say that I am actually very nervous and excited now, let alone whether the results are good or bad, this feeling is invaluable.

Well, that’s all about my personal introduction. Next, let me talk a little about updates.

Because I am actually a social animal, most of the time I work part-time after get off work, so the unstable update time has always been a problem. During the worst period of my work and rest schedule, I was in a state of lack of sleep for several days.

Universal requirements for online writing: It is not easy for me to update 4000 words every day. I write very slowly and I like to spend time on some small details and pick words. I hope that the words presented to readers can at least make me read them, even if they are not gorgeous.

I will try to adapt to this pace of updates in the future. But compared to the mentality of chasing the update volume in order to compete for the recommendation position during the new book period, I will put quality first after the book is put on the shelves, and be responsible for the money spent by readers for subscription. So if sometimes I really can't write enough 4000 words, please forgive me.

As for the update that will be released tomorrow, I will just update it with 6000, preferably 8000 words to bring this part of the story to a close. Then, it should be a more interesting story than the current one.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the readers who are willing to pay for this book: your support will be my motivation to keep writing. I would also like to apologize to all the readers who are ready to leave after reading this: I am sorry that my work cannot meet your payment standards.

Let us witness the next story together, and then see you again in the epilogue at the end of Volume 1.

Chapter 86 The End of Sin (4k)

2023-04-30

Bang!

At the edge of the block, accompanied by a loud shattering sound, the already shaky magic barrier finally broke apart and disappeared completely.

"Untied!"

"awesome!"

Bai Jingxuan couldn't help but smile, and cheered softly with some excitement. Mo Ke beside her also hugged her and celebrated the accomplishment of the mission together.

Tian Sheng, who was slumped beside him, looked at the magic barrier that had been lifted. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down as if it had found its home. He let out a long sigh of relief, and then fainted with a smile on his face.

He's been holding on for too long.

Bai Jingxuan, who was jumping for joy, noticed this scene and opened her mouth immediately. But before she could observe Tian Sheng's situation, she found that the block not far away shook violently and was then ignited by fiery magic power.

The white magic invaded the block. The bright white light was like the sun falling into this place, but it was not hot. Instead, it made people feel safe, warm and encouraged.

Unlike ordinary people, the man in the beastly state felt that he was suppressed. His whole body was in a state of stiffness, his magic power became cold and stagnant, and he was cowering as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

This was a very unusual thing, however, he, who had already transformed into a crippled beast, did not realize it due to his dull senses.

It still followed its previous actions, along its original trajectory, jumped up, and rushed towards Lin Xiaolu with all its strength.

He dodged the white magic that permeated the surroundings, and this time, he launched an attack with his life sacrificed. His sharp claws went straight for Lin Xiaolu's throat, wanting to kill her with this one blow.

But this plan failed. When it rushed in front of Lin Xiaolu, it noticed the pair of shining white eyes, which were completely locked on itself.

Lin Xiaolu's heart was filled with rage, but her mind was clear.

She was also unfamiliar with this sudden white magic power and didn't know how to use it. But in the current battle, facing the attacks of the remnant beasts, the most appropriate way to deal with it inexplicably appeared in her mind.

The fierce and brutal figure of the beast was reflected in her eyes, but what she saw was not just the beast in front of her.

At this moment, she once again returned to that night in the wetland park. The same beast waving its claws, the same attack about to touch her throat, as if she was once again standing in front of a fatal attack, facing the beast that was about to kill her.

She could still feel the cold touch on the hand holding the wand, which allowed her to recall very clearly the scene where Delphinium blocked all attacks from an enemy much taller than itself with just a wand.

"Take a good look at my battle."

This is what Delphinium said when it first appeared in front of him.

For her, that was the starting point of everything. And now, facing the same scene as the starting point, she felt that she could give another answer.

Can she do it? She didn't have a definite answer. But she felt that she had to do it.

After systematic training and more combat experience, she is no longer the same person she was before.

So, facing the attack that was about to hit her throat, she raised her wand.

clang!

The magic wand firmly blocked the claw attack of the crippled beast.

"Roar!"

Angry that his attack had failed, the crippled beast roared and growled, raised its other claw, and smashed it straight down at Lin Xiaolu's head once again.

Turning sideways, Lin Xiaolu pulled out the magic wand that was originally under the claws of the crippled beast, turned its direction, and chopped it horizontally towards the claws and wrists of the crippled beast.

clang!

The magic wand once again blocked the attack of the crippled beast.

Her eyes, which were filled with blazing white magic power, made her vision extremely clear. The powerful magic power also strengthened her physical fitness, making her body, which was originally only of species level, not lose in the clash with the power of the crippled beast.

The petite body seemed to contain enormous power, and it began the most direct and primitive fight with the remaining beasts in the blazing white flames.

Staring, Lin Xiaolu seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, and blocked all attacks in a series of collisions. When the attack posture of the remnant beast showed a flaw, Lin Xiaolu extended the head of the magic wand, and white magic power condensed at the tip of the magic wand, and the burning magic power beam went straight to the remnant beast.

"Guaaaaaaaaaa!"

The magic beam penetrated the crippled beast's upper arm, causing it to howl.

The severe pain made it angry, but it still did not give up, and accelerated again, trying to attack Lin Xiaolu from behind. However, Lin Xiaolu somehow moved her magic wand behind her, just blocking its attack.

This series of actions is so coherent, as if there is another figure involved.

“So being able to see is like this…”

Lin Xiaolu muttered to herself, her eyes focused again, she drew out her magic wand, and hit the crippled beast's jaw hard. White magic power surged, and she once again hit the crippled beast's shoulder with a beam of magic power.

"laugh!"

This time, the entire claw arm of the crippled beast was pierced and broke directly.

"Hooooooooo!"

This time, the intense pain finally awakened the beast's original wisdom, transcending its instincts of destruction and killing, and making it realize that it had no choice but to escape.

Using the organs of an animal to transform into a crippled beast is not without cost. In addition to reducing lifespan to a certain extent, during the transformation, the consciousness of the transformer will completely transform into that of an animal, and intelligence will also drop significantly.

This beastialization of consciousness is also a double-edged sword. It can greatly enhance the transformer's instinctive intuition, making it have a sharper reaction in battle; it can also cause a disorder in its judgment ability, making it often difficult to judge the strength of the enemy and oneself.

The instincts of cruel beasts never include seeking benefits and avoiding harm, but only destruction and killing. Unless they are facing death, they will not realize what danger is.

And at this moment, facing the fiery magic, it finally felt the deepest fear.

By using this white magic, Lin Xiaolu could easily cause damage to it. The defense that she had been proud of was as thin as paper in front of it.

The purple-black magic of the remaining beast curled up and shrank, as if resisting the intersection with this white magic. The fear of the power itself finally awakened its reason.

So it howled, but took advantage of the momentum of its attack to turn around suddenly, and fled in a few leaps, trying to get away.

Unexpectedly, the enemy in front of her would suddenly change direction and choose to flee. Lin Xiaolu sternly shot several magic beams at its departure trajectory. But to her surprise, even though the magic beams hit its back, it still failed to stop it.

She frowned and was about to mobilize her magic to chase forward, but suddenly she found that a mirror had been placed in front of her.

Turning her head, Lin Xiaolu saw Xia Liang lying on the ground not far away. He opened his eyes slightly and made a cutting gesture to her in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"It's for venting its anger," she said.

Looking up, Lin Xiaolu discovered that there were six mirrors on the path ahead, arranged in angled positions, pointing in the direction where the crippled beast had escaped.

"Are you starting to hold a grudge now?" she couldn't help but ask.

Xia Liang changed to a comfortable position and lay down, smiling and closing his eyes: "This is called business as usual."

Then, beams of blazing white magic energy burst out towards the mirrors placed along the road.

The white beam quickly hit the nearest mirror, then teleported all the way, leaping forward along the winding path at a terrifying speed. Finally, the light focused in the distance and shot directly into the body of the crippled beast.

This time, the magic beam penetrated his chest without any hindrance.

“Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

The purple-black magic power continued to leak out, and the huge body began to shrink. The deep roar of the beast turned into a human howl. The man regained his body from the dark beast's body, and his original face gradually appeared under the twisted beast head.

"It's so unexpected, it's so unexpected..."

He ran forward with all his might, his face full of pain and struggle, but for some reason he also looked a little excited: "There is actually another sacrificer. So this is how Gongchu Eleven died... Two sacrificers appeared in this city in such a short period of time!"

After being penetrated by the white magic, he felt that his life and magic were constantly leaking out, but it was precisely because of this that he made up his mind.

I don't want to die here yet.

"It's not over yet, it can't be over yet..."

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu was about to catch up with him, he finally made a ruthless and painful decision. He grabbed the purple-black flesh on his chest and squeezed it hard.

boom!
