I Became a Witch in a World Full of Urban Legends

Being sucked into the vortex, Gu Qianqian thought she died; she couldn’t breathe, and her eyes closed by themselves. She couldn’t feel anything in the darkness, but she could feel countless eyes on her and invisible threads from the darkness connected to her body as her body sank and sank. The threads seemed to break one after another as she fell deeper into the darkness, but…

One thread seemed extraordinarily strong, preventing her from falling into death.

There were countless, intertwined murmurs in her ears as if urging and guiding Gu Qianqian to just give up and let go. However, among the voices, she could hear an all-too-familiar voice—her system!

“Gu Qianqian… You can’t die, or you’ll have to start over again. Gu Qianqian… You’re broke, and you’ll have to sell your house for money.

A vision was forced onto her, and she could see a dark figure sneaking into her home—sleeping on her sofa, rummaging through her stuff.

And going through her beloved piggy bank!

And her money, like birds out of a cage, flew into the distance and disappeared.

It was like an elixir of life was poured into her mouth; her heart started to pump blood back into her system, and she could see, she could feel, she could hear, she could shout.

“No! Not my money!”

Gu Qianqian screamed and woke up, and her limbs desperately swung as if launching a fierce attack on an invisible enemy as she leapt onto the ground.“System! Somebody found my piggy bank!”

“Are you kidding me right now?”

Breaking into the world of the bamboo scrolls through abnormal means was dangerous; the fallen god buried within is powerful, and if you want to avoid certain death, there are no tricks.

You must either be stronger than the god itself, suppress your own energy, or have a strong enough will.

And clearly, Gu Qianqian has the will to survive, even though the will to survive is in her money.

When Gu Qianqian was approaching the pit of death, the system tried many ways to reinvigorate her: the visions of her saving the world, finding her family, luxurious dinners, a prince charming…

Never would it be expected that she would awaken at the thought of her money being stolen!

“System! We need to get out of here! Somebody got to my piggy bank!”

“Gu Qianqian…”

“Yes?”

“You don’t have to worry. I don’t think anybody would go through your piggy bank.”

Because nobody would care for such a small amount!

“You can’t say that! I just know that my money is in danger!” she frowned.

The system realised that the path that it planned for her might be a little off. She’s dumb but strong, so she was suited for the path of Hercules.

From the looks of it, though, maybe she should take a detour and venture into the paths of the God of Poverty!

Because all she does is think about money! Even though she won’t be as strong in combat, once she ascends, she will be so unlucky that it will spread to her enemies, so she’ll win every battle she’s in!

“Gu Qianqian?”

“How do we get out of here, system?”

“We need to figure out a way to get out of here together. If you die here, you will lose your money.”

“What?Then, hurry up and do something!”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Send me a mission! Hurry! I’ll finish it so that we can go back as soon as possible!”

While speaking, she waved her arms vigorously, bringing up gusts of strong wind and imbuing herself with bravery strong enough to kill gods.

“By the way, system, what exactly is this place?” She looked around, and all she could see was a desolate black

The sky is gloomy and full of dark clouds, as if a heavy rain may fall at any time, and the vegetation on both sides is disturbingly dark.

The towering tree before them was dark, and so were the shrubs. However, they still maintained a slight green tinge to their darkness.

The primordial forest before them formed an endless maze, but there was no sign of any animals within.

The darkness loomed over Gu Qianqian, but she had a big heart and was blind to the danger, and she was just as carefree as she was in the outside world.

‘It’s not like I’ve never eaten grass before or gnawed on bark! I have had food for months here!’

Gu Qianqian briefly recalled what happened before she lost consciousness and continued, “System, I remember that before I fainted, there was a boy.”

“What happened to him?” the system asked in a deep voice.

“He kissed me and touched my face. Am… am I in love?” She whispered while holding her hot face in both hands. She couldn’t describe her feelings, but she felt warm and giddy.

“Ah, damn it.”

The system knew what the Charm of Spring Winds does: in addition to causing severe damage to urban legends, it also makes the target feel that ‘spring is coming’.

And the meaning of the phrase is very subtle.

‘That damn Witch… I just thought she was poor and made the most accessible Charm to her. I didn’t expect her to plan this out to disturb Gu Qianqian’s will!’

Now that Gu Qianqian is lovestruck, she will have zero will to fight against the Witch! Unless money is involved, of course!

In the past, hosts have been distracted by factors like true love or avarice, and it was all because of the Witches of the past conjuring visions like these.

Asking ordinary teenage boys to deal with matters like that—it’s over before it even starts.

‘To avoid that, I got a female host this time… But not even Gu Qianqian was spared from a vision like this!’

After thinking for a while, the system said, “Gu Qianqian, the boy’s ultimate goal is to be with you!”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

“And once both of you are together, do you know what will happen?”

“N-no?”

“After you get together, your stuff is his! From then on, half of your money is his, half of your food is his, and even your piggyback! Nothing good comes from a man!”

“S-stop. That sounds scary,” she said, immediately losing interest in the boy.

“Good. Now, let’s get down to business. This place is the land that I told you about before—a land where you can obtain a lot of knowledge! However, because how we entered is a little different, where we landed is also different. The thing is…

The system was prepared to issue a mission to Gu Qianqian, but she immediately got up and pointed into the distance.

“System, look over there!” She pointed to the dense jungle in the distance. “Someone’s over there!”

Looking in the direction of Gu Qianqian’s finger, a few villagers are standing on the hillside in the distance. Their faces were obscured by fog, and they seemed to have been watching them for a while now.

‘Villagers?’ The system gulped. ‘I thought there were only scarlet lanterns here!’

Before the system could stop her, Gu Qianqian immediately got up and darted into the forest: “Something’s not right! Let’s go have a look!”
