Chapter 1

Page One: Become the Apprentice of the Goddess of Beautiful Girls!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”

Because of this unforgettable memory, I woke up from my dream in shock.

Although I used the words “in shock,” the dark and strange space I was in didn’t look like my own bedroom at all.

Even though there was no light here, I could clearly see my body, as if I myself were the source of light.

Could it be a double dream? I took out a spinning top from my pajama pocket and spun it on the ground.

Huh? Why do I have a spinning top in my pocket?

“Stop thinking too much! Young Chang Kai!” The voice, though old, was loud and clear, like a thunderbolt, suddenly pierced through this dark space.

In the void, an old man with white hair and rosy cheeks slowly walked towards me, dressed in a white robe.

“This is your spiritual world, also known as a dream, and I, the deity, am here to help you!”

Deity? That’s impressive.

This scenario is very familiar to me. According to the novel’s plot, is it going to lead me into the path of cultivation, endure hardships, and ultimately transcend to become a saint and join the ranks of immortals?

Or maybe my body has already died, and as compensation, they plan to give me a cheat and send me to another world to start a harem adventure?

So which one is it this time?

Following the plot, this old immortal should be able to read my thoughts and answer them… stare…

“Young Chang Kai, why are you squinting and staring at me without saying anything? Could it be that not only are you interested in crossdressing boys, but even an old man like me is within your range?”

“No, I just like old men like you who are overcooked — what nonsense! Why must I like an old stinky man?”

“Oh, as long as your sexual orientation is normal, as the successor I’ve chosen, you can’t be gay.”

“Successor?”

“That’s right! Young Chang Kai, do you know who I am?”

I stared at this old man with a Western appearance and pondered for a moment.

“Are you Gandalf? Is there a new calamity happening in Middle-earth?”

I pushed up my glasses, building up emotion — damn Sauron! This time we must destroy the One Ring! Let him perish completely!

“No, I’m not that kind of warrior who wields both sword and staff.”

“Oh! I know! You’re Headmaster Dumbledore!”

I touched the non-existent lightning scar on my forehead — so it is! Voldemort is causing trouble again with his Death Eaters, Ron, grab my AK-47, it’s much better than a wand.

“No, I haven’t died yet.”

“I give up, I can’t guess. Old sir, just tell me directly.”

I spread my hands in surrender.

“Listen up, young Chang Kai, I am the only deity of this world!”

Wow, being the only deity is amazing!

“Jehovah? Allah?”

“No, I am the Goddess of Beautiful Girls! Hahahaha! Alleluia!”

“… (stare)” A caring look for the mentally challenged.

“…”

“Enough, what kind of stupid dream is this? I want to wake up! Why would I dream about a senile old man? If she’s the Goddess of Beautiful Girls, she should at least be a beautiful girl!”

I started slapping myself, trying to wake myself up. I didn’t want to continue talking with this crazy old man.

“Young man, don’t you know how to respect the elderly? How can you call me insane without any reason?”

The old man grabbed my arm, stopping my self-abuse, which made me feel touched.

“Yes, this is my dream… Sorry, old sir, actually, I’m the one who’s crazy, and you’re just a character I imagined in my delusional mind.”

“Oh, young Chang Kai, why go through such hardship? Once you hear what I have to say, you will believe when you wake up.” If this old man weren’t spouting nonsense, he’d be quite benevolent. His mysterious tone reminded me of my late grandfather. “As the only deity of this world, the mission of the Goddess of Beautiful Girls is to use the power of the Beautiful Girl Notebook to change the fate of unfortunate people and spread happiness.”

The only deity of this world is the Goddess of Beautiful Girls, how random is that! This world is doomed!

“So, what is this Beautiful Girl Notebook? Is it some kind of cheat like the ‘Matchmaker Handbook’?”

“Don’t jump around, big guy, the big boss won’t be happy.” The old man immediately covered my mouth, looking around as if he were guarding something. “Anyone whose name is written in the Beautiful Girl Notebook will turn into a seventeen-year-old girl, not just in appearance, but also in heart. They will become genuine beautiful girls worthy of their looks! At the same time, their fate will change, making them happier! This is the blessing brought by the Goddess of Beautiful Girls!”

The old man became more and more excited, finally waving his arms in an inspiring manner, resembling a revolutionary leader giving a rallying speech on a podium, although this dark space had only me as an audience.

Since dreams are mostly forgotten upon waking, it might as well be seen as a ridiculous farce.

“So, where is the notebook?” I tried to advance the plot of this farce.

“Right here!”

With a sound effect like Tinker Bell pulling out a prop, the old man pulled out a textbook-sized black notebook from behind him. It had strange white letters written on it: [Death Note], but the word [Death] was crossed out with two thick black lines using a brush pen.

“Where did you get this thing from? A four-dimensional flower? And isn’t this a Death Note?” Oh, so my name is Light Yagami? Are you fond of apples, old sir?

“The appearance of the notebook isn’t important, young Chang Kai! I swear on my honor, this is the real deal— the Beautiful Girl Notebook!” The old man patted the notebook, which looked like a Death Note, opened the cover page, and held it out to me, along with a marker pen.

The first line on the cover page read, “Holder: _______”.

“Does the old sir mean that I should sign my name in the holder section?”

“As soon as you sign, you’ll be my apprentice.” The old man gazed into the distant darkness, his voice melancholic. “I’ve been the Goddess of Beautiful Girls for too long. Lei, once you pass the test and become a full-fledged Goddess of Beautiful Girls, I’ll be done.”

But why do I feel that the moment I write down my name, I’ll die of cardiac arrest? Are you playing with me, old sir?

“I want to know, why me? Can’t anyone become the Goddess of Beautiful Girls?”

“It’s not that simple. Becoming the Goddess of Beautiful Girls requires conditions! And you, look exactly like me when I was young…”

As the old man handed me a yellowed old photograph, the young man in the picture looked like a boy dressed as a beautiful girl.

“This is a photo of me when I was young. The inheritor of the Goddess of Beautiful Girls must have at least this level of beauty.”

Surprised!

This old man actually knows my secret. No wonder he’s a character I imagined in my dream, even if he’s disguised, he can’t be fooled by his eyes.

Thinking about this secret makes me embarrassed. Although I’m a man, I have a face that’s very feminine… Just looking at my face, I should be an SSR-level beautiful girl.

That’s why I wear these large and thick-framed glasses, just to match the bangs to hide this face.

“It’s because of this? But wait, you’re a Western character, why does the young you look like an Eastern person? And you look eight-tenths like me…”

“It’s the years that have sculpted my appearance…”

“Can years change your DNA?”

Ultimately, the condition for becoming a deity is looks. This world’s deities are really too casual.

Although worried about cardiac arrest, to quickly advance the plot of this farce and end it so I can truly wake up, I signed this strange contract.

Holder: Chang Kai

The moment I wrote my name, my body started emitting small stars, like a magical girl transformation.

Bad premonitions filled my mind.

This is bad!
