Out of curiosity, he carefully selected a game where he could sell game equipment for money, a full-immersion online game called "Onmyoji".
He gritted his teeth and bought a computer. He found a socket in the corner of the second floor of the motorcycle shop where he could plug in a vision device. After setting it up, he successfully entered Onmyoji.
In Heian-kyo, he chooses an identity, goes through tutorials, and experiences his first battle and duel... Through a series of trials, he gradually comes to understand this world.
Unlike other games he'd seen before, Onmyoji offers more than just simple battles; it provides a richer, more everyday experience.
This is a novel idea.
"Hurry, hurry, as you wish!"
On his first attempt at summoning, he summoned what was said to be the ugliest shikigami in all of Heian-kyo—the sorcerer.
"Hooray... I'm so happy to see you, sir, hooray..."
A pale, moth-like face, and a sorcerer half a head taller than him, strode towards him carrying a small lantern.
A swarm of flies, moths, black butterflies, and terrifying wasps flew out of the little purple lantern and swarmed onto him.
Tianma Xingke: "..."
He regretted entering the game.
The shikigami in front of him had no beauty whatsoever!
He sat listlessly on the steps in the courtyard, with the eerie-voiced sorcerer sitting beside him, a small lantern placed to the side.
Why don't you go to the barrier?
Tianma Xingke turned to ask him.
The sorcerer lifted his eyelids, two tentacles trembling on his head, and asked, "Aren't you going to take me out to play?"
What?
"Go to the barrier for nurturing now!"
"Tian Ma Xingke commanded."
Seeing his expressionless face, the sorcerer said meaningfully, "Young man, don't be discouraged now that you've seen me. There are many female shikigami in Heian-kyo that you would like. We have a long future ahead of us."
As he spoke, he blinked.
It's absolutely hideous!
Tianma Xingke turned his head away and refused to look at him.
That's not what he meant, okay?
After that, with only one shikigami, he led the sorcerers into battle, pushing their limits in Heian-kyo, and were killed countless times by the Yamata no Orochi.
Soon, through their hard work, they earned another blue ticket.
He entered the summoning pool with great enthusiasm, but instead summoned the very source of all evil that had caused him a lifetime of poverty—the Kamaitachi.
Ever since these three little guys arrived at his Yin-Yang Bureau, the first thing they do when they wake up is complain of hunger, the first thing they do before going to sleep is also complain of hunger, and when they are in a bad mood, they still only do one thing—complain of hunger.
"Dad! I'm hungry!"
Oh no, the first little one is awake!
This is troublesome...
His shouts successfully woke up the second little one sleeping next to him, "Waaah... Big brother just stole my sushi! Onmyoji, I'm so hungry..."
The third, quiet little one looked at his older and younger brothers beside him, and slowly got up, whimpering...
With them around, the courtyard was filled with howling and wailing every day, giving him a headache and keeping the sorcerer awake.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. A single Kamaitachi has three mouths; it could eat him out of house and home in a week. But the three brothers are currently growing rapidly. How many materials will he need to feed them to max out their skills?
An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one.
When his three children grew up, he realized how wrong he was.
The legendary ultimate skill of the Kamaitachi clan—ADHD—has always been a crucial asset for the Kamaitachi to dominate Heian-kyo.
But his little ones seem to have been born with polio; they never move when their opponent moves in the arena!
In this situation, he cannot speak to them or scold them.
They cry whenever they get angry.
At times like this, he wonders whether he is enjoying the game or the game is tormenting him.
Ugh... In short, I really dislike it.
Filled with displeasure, he accumulated jade and summoned the first female shikigami in the Onmyodo—Jorogumo.
On the day the Jorogumo was summoned, the sorcerer mysteriously called him aside, his face filled with excitement, and asked in a cryptic tone, "Child, are you happy now?"
He was completely baffled.
"Why should I be happy?"
"Your favorite female shikigami."
As he spoke, the sorcerer pointed his finger at Jorogumo, who was giving birth to red imps in the courtyard, his eyes gleaming.
Well……
"She's the female shikigami you were talking about?"
His worldview is about to collapse...
The sorcerer retorted, "Isn't she beautiful?"
He glanced at Jorogumo and felt a chill run down his spine. She wasn't an ordinary female shikigami! There was a giant spider beneath her body. How could he possibly like a shikigami like that?
Speechless. Back then, he was unaware of the rumor that a Jorogumo walking around Heian-kyo could bring dog food (a game item), and after his initial excitement, he actually believed it.
Train Joshin-women!
After fighting her a few times, he didn't find that Jorogumo was much stronger than the sorcerer, except that her stun skill was decent.
And so, he gave her the best Soul Stones, the Black Egg Dog Wolf, and took her out to train and gain experience every day.
Every time he fought against Yamata no Orochi and various Kirin, he felt something was off; Jorogumo seemed to have more control than offensive power...
After reaching level 15, he encountered difficulties with his three-star Jorogumo; they were no longer able to pass any level of the Soul or Kirin dungeons!
The low damage output of the three-star Jorogumo left him speechless, forcing him to go out and find new shikigami to farm.
After making some inquiries, he joined an Onmyoji guild and learned about a person named Oni-shiki-gumi.
After the ashes were removed from the fully skilled, three-star Jorogumo, he gained a new leader, Onikiri.
This black-clad ghost was incredibly powerful. He arrived at his quarters, overcame numerous obstacles, and used his scythe to let him enjoy the joy of victory for a few days.
During this period, he quickly gathered materials to upgrade, broke through the 20th level, and encountered his first challenge ever.
Most of the shikigami that support the Onmyoji Guild are the powerful Guhuoniao. He has never been able to draw Guhuoniao, so he uses Onikiri with Wugushi, Kamaitachi, Hotaru and Yamausagi.
When they finally reached chapter twenty-one, they were starting to struggle.
That period was the most painful time for him in Heian-kyo, as it seemed that any Onmyoji of his rank could defeat him.
One day, during a ten-pull, a lucky star suddenly descended upon his guild, and he was overjoyed. He fed it white eggs and leveled it up, fed it white eggs and leveled it up again... After ten minutes of accelerated training, he finally got his first SSR: Ibaraki-doji.
From then on, Ibaraki-dōji took over the position of Onikiri, leading the conquest squad out to find resources every day.
Time flew by, but Gui Shi Hei remained by his side. Of course, Gui Shi Hei is now retired and enjoying his old age.
Later, as new shikigami appeared, he mistakenly raised several shikigami that were destined for obsolescence and learned a lot from the experience.
Later, he gradually gained a better eye, and his first defensive shikigami arrived.
