Quick Transmigration: The Legend of the Phantom Lady

Prologue

In a time long past, there had been a legend of a girl with an unmatched beauty. Her allure so potent that it could unsettle kingdoms and captivate the heavens. 

Mortals and gods alike found themselves helplessly drawn to her with their desires creating ripples that toppled even the sturdiest of thrones. Three gods, each wielding vast powers, fell under her spell and descended to the mortal realm, abandoning their celestial roles in pursuit of her.

This divine infatuation stirred up quite the uproar among the other deities. They vehemently opposed the relationship, leading to the gods' banishment from the heavens. The girl, with her ethereal beauty and irresistible charm, was seen as a dire threat and was sentenced to death as her presence constantly ignited familial, relational, and geopolitical chaos, wreaking havoc across kingdoms and realms.

But fate had other plans. As her mortal form faded to ashes, something unexpected happened. She transcended death. She lived on for thousands upon thousands of years, moving through different times and eras, but her deadly allure continued to stir up trouble and destruction. The gods, seeing the never-ending turmoil, decided to step in once more. They banished her again, this time putting her into an eternal slumber, ensuring her beauty would no longer wreak havoc on the world.

In her eternal slumber, the world slowly found peace, and the gods believed they had finally rid the realms of her disruptive presence. The legend of the beautiful girl became a distant myth, a bedtime story told to children.

Until destiny stirred anew.

Eons later, in a forgotten cavern far beneath the earth, a mechanical guardian discovered her resting place. Within this secluded chamber, the girl slept, her beauty undiminished by the passage of time. Her ethereal appearance was mesmerizing: her skin glowed with an unearthly light, her hair cascaded like a waterfall of silken threads, and her presence exuded an aura of both charm and power.

The mechanical guardian, sensed the significance of its discovery. "It's her," it said in a synthetic voice filled with awe. "She'll be perfect for the task."

The mechanical system hummed as it directed its energy towards awakening the girl. Deep within the cavern, the ground quivered, echoing the awakening of something ancient and powerful. Her body, cloaked in a timeless slumber, responded with a gentle glow that emanated from her skin, pulsating with each breath of newfound vitality.

The air crackled with energy as the system continued to channel its dwindling power into her. Just as the system neared its limit, on the brink of depletion, the girl stirred.

Her movements were deliberate, like one gradually awakening from a deep, prolonged slumber. Slowly, her gaze swept across the cavern. She took in her surroundings with curiosity, her expression serene and unruffled by her sudden awakening. Her lips, the color of a dusky rose, parted as she drew in a breath that felt like the first in an eternity.

"Who goes there?" she asked, her voice melodious and smooth, carrying an air of timeless elegance.

"Lady of beauty, I am a system in need of a soul contractor," came the response, a mechanical voice devoid of emotion. "I stumbled upon your loveliness and couldn't help but lift the curse of eternal sleep upon you. I need you to form a contract with me to travel to different worlds and fulfill the wishes of poor souls."

"Interesting," the girl mused, sounding only mildly engaged, as though this were a conversation over tea.

"..."

"What's in it for me?" she asked, her tone bored, sharply contrasting with her initial comment.

"I'll fully lift the curse of the gods from your body, and you can do anything you like again," the system tempted.

She arched a brow, her movements elegant and graceful. "Hmm, I'll think about it."

"And I'll give you one wish."

"Any... wish?" she asked, her interest piqued.

"Anything you desire, but only one."

"How do we seal the deal then?"

The system immediately began binding her to it, her life's information transferring in a cascade of light and energy. 

"This body will be protected and remain just as it was in eternal sleep. You can come back after you've finished the job. I only have limited energy left after transferring energy to temporarily wake you, and it's only enough to transfer you to another world."

In an instant, her consciousness was engulfed in a swirling vortex of colors and sensations. It was as if she was being pulled through the fabric of reality itself. The sensation was both exhilarating and disorienting, a rush of energy that left her breathless.

When the whirlwind subsided, she found herself standing in a new environment, her surroundings unfamiliar and strange. The system's voice echoed in her mind.

"Welcome to your first world, Elysia."
