Saiyans Forbidden from Crossing Worlds to Steal Jobs Ch. 1

[Dear Miss Ikki, hello

You're dead.

The body's cold, can't be saved.

But! You've been reincarnated.

Since you've been single for three lifetimes and died young all three times, it's truly a heartbreaking tale. Even I, the system, was moved.

So, I've specially gifted you an SSSSS-level life-saving cheat.

Please explore the cheat's contents on your own.

Hope you can finally stop being single this time around.]

Ikki: ...

Turns out I'm the king of single dogs.

What a joke.

The system had already left, and a white sheet of paper floated gently down through the air.

She caught it and took a closer look.

[Kanagawa Prefecture, XXX Street, Tsukishima Residence.]

Ikki was shocked.

A sudden transmigration, a message from the system, and she even got a house as a starter pack!

Could this be her koi fish leap over the dragon gate moment? Pure dumb luck that turned her into a future Mary Sue, the overpowered heroine of a modern drama?

However...

Following the address, Ikki fell silent again.

The place in front of her was an absolute wreck—holes in the roof, drafty walls, overgrown weeds, spiderwebs everywhere. It was a mess, totally unwatchable.

Looking around, there were no houses nearby, no shops, barely any people. And not far off, a police cordon had been set up.

...She was clearly overthinking it.

No overpowered heroine in the city, no modern Mary Sue. Just a freshly reincarnated corporate slave in training.

Thankfully, her memory was intact and she hadn't lost her knowledge.

Starting over as a middle schooler wasn't a big deal.

With her past life's smarts and 99% effort, making it into a top school, becoming a rich girl, and living the dream of a fluffy sweet story wasn't just a fantasy!

She could totally do it!

Only, Ikki had never expected that her fluffy sweet dream hadn't even started yet when she ran into a level-99 disaster and nearly coughed up her soul on the spot.

Why?

Because she saw a monster!!

The thing was about two meters tall, had six eyes, stubby limbs, and a huge gaping belly. But there were no organs inside—just rows of cold, terrifying fangs.

It stared at her, six eyeballs rolling with a squish, a blood-red tongue drenched in sticky goo slithering out from its belly, cheerfully saying hello to her.

Welcome to the new world~

Surprised?

Shocked?

Ikki: !!!

This was freaking intense!!

Her modern fluffy romance story had blinked and turned into a Cthulhu-style night parade of a hundred demons.

If she hadn't been someone who liked eating while watching horror flicks all year round, she probably would've blacked out and died right then and there.

Although, she was pretty close to dying right now anyway.

Those terrifying fangs were inches away, the stench of rot hit her nose, and the slimy tongue dripping goo wrapped around her calf. Ikki felt her brain go completely blank.

Was she seriously about to die right after reincarnating?

No!

She still wanted to borrow another 500 years from the heavens!

How could she die before even starting the game?!

The will to live suddenly skyrocketed. Power surged wildly inside her like a primal force. Blue lightning cracked twice, pale golden light burst out in a flash, and her loose hair flickered between gold and black a few times before everything quietly returned to normal.

At the same time, Ikki grabbed a nearby chair and smashed it hard at the tongue.

Boom—

The tongue snapped, the ground collapsed, the monster froze, and Ikki blanked out.

Holy shit!

Something's seriously wrong with me!

One week after reincarnation, her entire worldview shattered and got pieced back together.

She thought her second life was gonna be a heartwarming, passionate shoujo manga—but turns out, it was actually a life-or-death monster-slaying series.

Forget everything else, in just these seven days, she'd already run into no less than ten monsters.

Her monster-fighting experience had skyrocketed, and her mental resilience was leveling up fast.

From screaming her head off to throwing punches without flinching—

She was no longer the old her. She was the evolved version: Niohuru*·Ikki!

(*In internet meme culture, especially in Chinese online communities, "钮钴禄" (Niǔgǔlù) is used ironically or humorously to mock or exaggerate someone's: Over-the-top elegance or nobility; Dramatic personal transformation; Mary Sue vibes (like those overly perfect, powerful female leads); Or a character acting like they're the main star of a Qing Dynasty palace drama)

And over this past week of exploring, she'd gotten a good grasp of her new body.

That so-called SSSSS-level cheat? It was a full-on Saiyan body, plus a bunch of martial arts techniques she'd have to grind day and night to master.

This cheat was way too sincere. Ikki was so moved she let out a loud "waaah" and started crying.

Felt like she'd never get out of being single again. :)

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

"Hey girl, time to work."

The site foreman hollered from not far away.

Ikki slurped up the last of her cup noodles, pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth, then dusted herself off and stood up.

As the saying goes, even a hero struggles without cash.

Her sky-high combat power might've been enough to keep her alive, but it definitely couldn't save her wallet.

Her ever-growing strength was like an unleashed husky, wildly sprinting on the path of destruction.

Add to that a Saiyan's bottomless appetite, and her already poor family basically got buried in ice and snow.

So, she had no choice but to take on side jobs.

Like all transmigrators know: if you don't keep a low profile, you're dead meat.

Stay low! Don't show off!

Ikki fully agreed.

So, to keep others from noticing anything weird, she acted like a normal person during the day—going to school, behaving well—and secretly flew across the ocean at night, disguised, to do part-time jobs in America.

Lifting bricks, laying walls, hard labor. Setting up stalls, starting side hustles, doing translation work.

In her spare time, she even took on the role of a shrine maiden—exorcising evil spirits with her fists.

Diligent. Hardworking. Down-to-earth.

And just like that, day after day, year after year.

Finally, at 17 years old, Ikki saved up enough for most of her expenses for the next five years, quit the crazy grind, and threw herself into student life full-time.
