Chapter 10: So This Is How a Trailblazer Is Born?

    Inside the Herta Space Station’s Conference Room

    A group of researchers sat stunned, staring at the screen like a collective of dazed fools.

    The Arrival of Asta

    Moments later, Asta arrived, escorted by a group of researchers.

    By then, a staff member had already recorded the entire livestream for analysis.

    As the Antimatter Legion stormed the space station, causing complete chaos,

    Asta’s jaw dropped in shock.

    She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

    The disaster was still fresh in her mind—

    Even now, there were still unresolved aftermaths from that attack.

    The Truth About the Attack

    Her fists clenched.

    Damn those Stellaron Hunters!

    They wandered through the station’s containment area like it was their own home.

    They handled classified artifacts like they were mere playthings.

    And they broke into Lady Herta’s collection room as if it were nothing—

    Then implanted a Stellaron into a young girl.

    Wait a second.

    This girl… looked familiar.

    The Big Revelation

    Wasn’t that the Trailblazer?!

    A Shockwave of Information

    A wave of realization crashed into Asta’s brain,

    As overwhelming as receiving three months’ worth of credit card bills all at once.

    Asta crossed her arms, clearly annoyed.

    a researcher pointed out.

    With that, Asta switched the main screen to a live broadcast.

    It was Guinaifen’s stream.

    In the bottom-right corner, her small webcam feed was visible—

    But the rest of the screen was dominated by  gameplay.

    The Game Continues…

    Silver Wolf:

    Kafka:

    Kafka smirked, then turned directly to the camera.

    A Faint Whisper…

    [No… Please…]

    [Don’t go…]

    [Kaf… Ka…]

    There was no voice acting,

    Yet everyone watching could feel the emotion—

    The protagonist was still dazed, barely conscious.

    Lost in confusion.

    With these final words,

    The screen slowly faded to black—

    Signifying that the protagonist had fallen unconscious once more.

    A New Beginning

    It was unclear how much time had passed.

    Suddenly—

    A man’s voice rang out:

    A woman’s voice responded impatiently:

    The First Awakening

    At that moment—

    The protagonist’s vision finally returned.

    The first thing they saw—

    Was the face of a massive man,

    So close that it filled the entire screen.

    A hand suddenly grabbed the man’s face and pushed it away.

    Then, the hand’s owner took his place—

    Leaning in closer to the protagonist’s face.

    Short pink hair.

    Bright, multicolored eyes.

    A playful smirk.

    the pink-haired girl asked.

    Asta’s Shock

    Seeing this scene,

    Asta was completely speechless.

    Her mind went blank.

    She had already figured it out from the dialogue,

    But actually seeing them appear in the game was surreal.

    It really was the crew of the Astral Express!

    The Trailblazer had even helped out at the space station before.

    But to think… this was how they came into existence?!

    Contacting the Astral Express?

    Asta grabbed her phone,

    Her first instinct was to contact the Astral Express crew immediately.

    However—

    Right before she could dial, she hesitated.

    A thought struck her.

    Asta’s Decision

    Instead of making the call,

    She exited the contacts screen—

    And opened the app store instead.

    She typed:

    Without hesitation,

    She pressed download. S~ea??h the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Meanwhile, Aboard the Astral Express…

    Walter and Himeko exchanged a knowing glance.

    At this point—

    Everything was starting to fall into place.

    After a brief silence, Walter finally spoke:

    Himeko’s eyes sparkled with intrigue.

    She pointed at the screen.
