So during my playthrough of Dragon Quest XI, I named my hero character "Shen Yuan" for kicks and giggles.

For those who don't know, Dragon Quest is a video game series whose designs are done by the late Toriyama and is a massively popular series in Japan. It's the prototype for every medieval fantasy JRPG.

Dragon Quest XI in particular follows the selfless chosen one/lost prince, The Luminary, as he battles the forces of darkness to bring peace back to the magical world of Erdrea. The hero is a blank slate for you to project yourself onto who doesn't talk or emote for most of the game. The "official" name for the protagonist is Eleven.

Now all I can think of is if post-canon SVSSS Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu re-transmigrated to Dragon Quest as the famed protagonist and now instead of being the villain who has to avoid a bad ending, he has to deal with the pressure of being the Messiah of a fantasy world that everyone expects him to save.

Meanwhile, everyone's confused as to why Shen Qingqiu (who is really Eleven the protag) is acting so bland and quiet.

The other peak lords all assume it's another qi deviation, but Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe figure out pretty quickly that this isn't the Shen Qingqiu that they know. Someone was forced into shizun's body, so Shizun must be wherever they were from. So Luo Binghe grabs Xin Mo and travels to Erdrea to find his beloved shizun.

So Shen Yuan's party gets to the World Tree to fulfill the hero's destiny and defeat the Dark Lord, only to find that Luo Binghe has already defeated him and is desperate to bring his shizun back, wrecking everyone else in the process.

Shen Yuan/"Eleven": BINGHE, I HAVE A WORLD TO SAVE! I'M THE PROTAGONIST NOW!

Luo Binghe: NOT ANYMORE! I TOOK CARE OF IT FOR YOU, SHIZUN! NOW COME BACK WITH ME!

I find it funny how folks write the Luminary from Dragon Quest XI all serious and melancholic. Which, fair, guy's been through a lot, but did you talk to anyone in the Cobblestone of the past? The Luminary is a mischievous little shit and I wish that was more represented in fics.

This drawing idea was on my mind recently.

OKAY AGAIN SPOILER ALERT FOR DRAGON QUEST XI

I don’t want to go back in time, I don’t want to go back in time, I don’t want to go back in time, I DON’T want to go back in time, I DON’T WANT to go back in time, I DON’T WANT TO go back in time, I DON’T WANT TO GO back in time, I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK in time, I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME

I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME

I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME

WHY ARE THEY BREAKING MY HEART LIKE THIS?! I know I have nothing else to do in this timeline but the fact that I don’t get to bring my friends along SUCKS. I want to bring my friends with me, I want them to remember the adventures we had together. I know they’re still gonna be there in the past but they won’t remember any of the times we had during act 2.

I’m really sad, I will be keeping a save from this timeline but still I dunno how I feel about this aspect of the post story yet.

[artistic-joie]
