[elixrr]

their words comfort you. it doesn't matter if you're tough or strong, or if you're prone to the pain and the struggle, they'll comfort you no matter who or what you are.

they'll hold you tight like never before, whispering either comforting, loving, and careful words to you or true and genuine words of wisdom for you to take and use for later on. whether you sob in their arms or feel their embrace in silence— or if you spill everything you've been holding in, they'll take you into a kind hug and let you do what you're comfortable doing.

never do they force anything out of you, nor would they ever force you to be silent in their embrace. their comfort is for you, and while they hold you, it's their job to let you feel comfort in their arms. forcing you into anything simply wouldn't do any good for either of you.

though, if you wish to be left alone, they will let you alone— albeit after asking a few times if you're truly okay with the solitude. they want you to know that they care, and they'll show it by respecting you, your boundaries, and what you want and need.

it doesn't matter what struggle or struggles you've faced or that you're facing. they'll be there to comfort you when needed, and they'll give you the proper space when necessary. they care about you, and they'd also love for you to know that.

so, no matter what, there's always a place for you to go, whether that be in their arms or by a window in the solace of night where either storms or stars hang over the sky, they'll care about you, regardless of where they are or where you are.

– your faves / comfort characters.

desc. how genshin characters sleep next to you!

notes. i love these ppl sm sobs

they're so quiet. the only thing you can hear is their soft breath, maintaining a constant rhythm. they generally prefer to bury their head in your shoulder, but they're content just laying next to you. they're so easy to sleep next to. they probably completely shut off while they're asleep?? you will not feel a single thing. no water necessary. no bathroom breaks. they save feeling sick until the morning. in addition, a kiss on the forehead is the last thing you see before you fall asleep and the first when you wake up in the morning. all in all, they're super sweet—maybe, in a way, pretty old-fashioned. i give a 100/10.

lynette, tighnari, shenhe, XIAO, aether, ALBEDO, jean, EI, baizhu, KOKOMI, diluc, layla, ayato, ganyu

SO touchy. literally can't go more than ten seconds not being next to you. probably have a quiet, whispered conversation with you before bed—about anything at all. it's mostly to distract from the fact that they're feeling you up, but they still listen to every word you say. they mumble replies with a teasing voice as their fingers dance up your back, resting at your shoulder. nuzzling their head in your neck while lightly kissing you there. (maybe biting if they're into that...) if you want to get up to get water, they probably make you stay where you are so you stay comfy. they'll do everything for you. you want a massage at 3 in the morning? go ahead, ask. they won't refuse.

KAZUHA, zhongli, cyno, yae miko, BEIDOU, xinyan, lumine, LISA, keqing, candace, THOMA, kaeya

LOUD. that's all you really need to know—but you can barely sleep. it's like they don't need it. they'll stay up for hours on their phones, talking about the videos they're watching, what they did—anything at all that they can think of. you'd believe they'll eventually get tired and toss in the towel, but they could pull 10 all-nighters in a row if it meant you'd listen the whole time. other than that, they're usually pretty cuddly. They'll grab onto your arms and scrunch into a ball position, their knees nearly at their chest. They'll probably talk to you like that until they realized you've dozed off. Once they do, they kiss you on the nose and cuddle against you, letting out an unbelievably loud sigh. almost comically so. (it might wake you up and you'd have to fall asleep all over again...)

CHILDE, yoimiya, ITTO, heizou, yanfei, VENTI, hu tao, gorou, kirara

sarcastic and mean. can you even get more mean than these guys?? they (lovingly) insult and tease you before dragging you into the bed, tightly holding you against them. they'll most likely hold the back of your head by tangling their fingers in your hair, keeping you steady against their chest. to hear their breathing. they might give you a kiss on the forehead if you get lucky. if you decide to tease them by refusing this kiss, they'll probably spread their limbs across the bed to make sure you've got no room, and that you'll have to climb on top of them to be able to lay down comfortably. that's better than a kiss, in their opinion. you're wide open for sarcasm, teasing, and letting them be the meanies they are.

yelan, kaveh, SCARA, kuki shinobu, FARUZAN, dehya, KUJOU SARA, alhaitham, mona, ningguang

notes. i hate school so much actually 🤗🤗 anyways GUTS WORLD TOUR IM SO EXCITED

mwah mwah i heart you guys 💋

Genshin Impact Self Aware – Your sadness  

They miss you. For past week you have been login into the game only to do commissions and changing Resin into Condensed one (or quickly doing domains or Ley Lines if you already had 5 of them). They hoped that with the new regions of Fontaine you will be playing more, you will take them to get chests, do puzzles, find Oculi and enjoy the scenery like always. But no, you didn’t even unlocked all the new waypoints, only two or three, so they couldn’t help but wonder "Are you getting tired of them?"

They tried to be patient but the more time passed the more they were feeling worried. Till that one day you logged and they could hear you talking to them like sometimes you did before. “Finally we can go check those new places, right?” The team you were using lately was happy, but they couldn’t do anything that would make you aware that they are conscious about you and this ‘world’, so they had to contain their smiles after hearing your voice.

And yet, the more you were looking around with them and fight the enemies the more silent you become again, till you stopped moving them at some point. They wondered if you left for moment to bring food or something to drink but then they heard it. Your muffled sobs “What happened? Why are you crying? Did you get hurt? ” those questions were swarming in their heads and they couldn’t do anything. Through your sobs they could hear “I can’t stop thinking about it” What are you thinking about? If only they could do something for you, comfort you, tell that everything will be alright. But they can’t. No matter how much they love you. They can’t do anything for you.

You took them to a safe place, mumbling that you didn't feel like playing anymore and logged off. They are alone again, knowing that you’re sad.

Maybe it’s really time to try bring you here, where they will be able to protect you and make you smile every day.

Teyvat Chapter 0 - Welcome to Teyvat

You were pushed to the window roughly. "What-" You gaped in disbelief as multiple blue streaks flew across the sky. 

Yeleris frowned, "Yvonne, stop pushing her." You stared at the gaping hole in the middle of the sky. "This looks-" 

Your words stopped as a beautiful gold streak cut through the sky, your vision slowly turning into black dots.

"Y/N?!" 

"Y/N?!!?"

-..-..-

"Eugh." You groaned, flinging the wet slimy object off your face. 

"Ye da?" 

You sat up abruptly. "Ummmmm... Olah?" You inched backward, seeing a gigantic lawachurl in front of you. Although it made no move to attack you, you saw a few piles of bones resembling humans by its feet.

"Mi nye mosi ye." 

The lawachurl grunted, offering you a sunsietta. 

"Uh, thanks?" You noticed your grumbling stomach, hurriedly biting the sunsietta. It tasted like a mixture of apple and pear, with an orange tanginess and a sweet hint of honey. 

You and the lawachurl remained in an awkward silence. "I need to leave." You stated. Dragonspine was a harsh place, looking at your surroundings, you should be in the middle of Dragonspine and you were going to freeze to death if you didn't leave soon. There were a few fire sources but it only slowed down the freezing.

The frost arm lawachurl stood up, towering over you. Incoherent mumbles could be heard, ".i.de..Dan-ge.r" 

You shivered, "I know, but I need to get to Mondstadt." Mondstadt was the most peaceful region you could think of, and the start of the plotline. As the starter region, it has the weakest monsters and has a good geographical location, and it was close to Dragonspine.

The lawachurl froze, "Mi-" It paused, scooping you up. You struggled, voice muffled by its arm. You calmed down when it started walking, slowly falling asleep, the lawachurl's body heat being the only comforting thing in the icy terrain.

The next time you woke up, you were already on the snow-covered path. The lawachurl sat silently, meters away from you. You suddenly felt guilty for leaving this strange lawachurl. The lawachurl slowly stood up, gesturing you to get over. 

You hesitantly approached him, getting lifted onto its shoulder as it stepped into the freezing stream, carrying you to the other side. It gently placed you on the ground, pointing to some boars, "Mita," it then pointed to you, "Kucha."

It ruffled your head, giving you a small bag, "Zido." It turned around, walking slowly towards the lonely terrain. 

You sniffled lightly, the lawachurl's form slowly disappearing in the haziness. "Thank you..." you whispered, wiping away your tears. 

You walked slowly, unaware of where you were going and where to go. You only knew that Mondstadt was relatively safe, but you were too afraid to go into the city, where they may that you are a spy for the fatui due to your odd clothes.

You hid yourself when you saw a few Knights of Favonius in the distance, they seemed to be looking for something. 

"Did you see that light?" The shorter one nodded, "It fell into Dragonspine, in the middle perhaps. The grandmaster had already told the Chief Alchemist to look out for whatever was the golden light." 

The brunette rolled his eyes, "I don't even know why we were sent here, it landed in Dragonspine, not here." 

You snorted lightly, hurriedly covering up your mouth. "Halt! Who's there?!" The tallest of the four yanked you out from the tree you were hiding behind. 

The five of you stared at each other confused. "Why is there a kid here?" 

"..."

"..."

"..."

Your smile fell, "Excuse me?"

-.-.-. 

You groaned, "I'm not fatui for god's sake." The dumb one snorted, "That's what they all say, and don't you scum dare insult Lord Barbatos's reputation."

You sighed, spotting a hilichurl camp nearby. A grin appeared on your face. You yanked your arms away, sprinting towards the nearest hilichurl. 

"Hey!" The short one tried to grab you back, before noticing a mitachurl charging towards the brunette. 

"You dumbass, you want to die?" The knights started dashing away, running into the city. 

"Hey. What are you four doing? Leaving your patrol area without permission." 

The brunette scratched his head, cold sweat dripping down his head. "Captain Kaeya- we- we-"

The dumb one pushed him away, "Captain Kaeya! We met a fatui wearing strange clothes spying on us so we wanted to bring her to be questioned but she ran into a hilichurl camp near Springvale and the hilichurls started to attack us."

Kaeya's fake smile fell, his eye glinting dangerously, "So, you decided not to kill all the hilichurls and bring the girl back? Are you not knights?" 

"Captain Kaeya-"

"Report to Cyrus, he will deal with you four." he glanced at the dumbfounded knights. "What, you want me to personally deal with you four along with the girl?" 

-.-.-.

On the other side, like the frost arm lawachurl, the hilichurls made no move to attack you. The mitachurl offered you some apples and the samachurl started dancing. The little bag that the lawachurl gave you wriggled, a small cryo slime popping out. You touched it hesitantly, yup, the cold slimy feeling on your face belonged to the slime. 

You looked through the small bag, regretting leaving the kind lawachurl, inside the bag were some herbs, a small pouch of mora, some sunsiettas, and a cloak. You tried putting all of them into your inventory. Everything except the bag disappeared. You checked your phone and in the game inventory, everything was in the new category named Y/N. You tried to use your catalyst but nothing worked. "Makes sense, I don't have a vision." You sighed. A 5-star catalyst, wasted just because you didn't have a vision.

You groaned checking the time, it's been over 24 hours, you were officially stuck in Teyvat. 

Every single time you've been in Teyvat had been less than 24 hours, it seemed to automatically transport you out once it reached that time. "Damn, I miss Yeleris and Yvonne..." A small poke interrupted your musings. "Mosi." The mitachurl handed you some raw fowl. 

"Ummm, thanks." You thanked him, placing the meat into the pan. You read through the menus on your phone. The only thing you could cook was Sweet Madame, everything else needed more ingredients. 

Surprisingly, the dish only took two minutes to cook, which was very surprising to you until you saw a pyro slime spewing fire on the sticks under the pan. ".Uh, thanks?" A horrifying thought materialized in your head. What do slimes eat? Do they eat their enemies? When people kill them do they have blood or do they just turn into slime condensates waiting to be collected? When characters ascend do they have to cut them into small pieces? How do characters even ascend?

You shuddered just at the thought of someone like Cyno downing a bunch of scarabs just to get stronger. Once again, you were interrupted from your thoughts by a large cry from the two mitachurls, the one with the shield immediately charging toward the entrance of the camp.

"Keuughh." The mitachurl's shield was burnt almost instantly and a sword impaled it, black blood gushing out. You stood agape as the hydro samachurl tried to heal it but got impaled with an arrow. 

"Baron Bunny!" A very familiar brunette tossed a doll towards you. You stared at the doll, it staring back at you, "OH HELL NAWH-"

You grabbed your cryo slime and sprinted towards the blazing axe mitachurl. "Run! Ya'll are at level 20 at most or something-" You didn't know whether they understood what you were saying but the moment you started running, the entire camp started following you. 

"Hey!" Amber gasped for air as she stared in disbelief at the horde of hilichurls that were just running alongside you. "Is doing some commissions for some mora this hard?" She sighed. 

"Amber, quite surprising to see you here." 

"Cavalry captain, aren't you supposed to be in Mondstadt city?" Amber's eyes narrowed at the dark-skinned man. Kaeya never gave her any good vibes.

"Some knights told me that there was a fatui spy in this area, did you see someone when you were clearing out the camps?" Kaeya ignored Amber's clear dislike, his eyes glinting with curiosity. 

Amber frowned, "Um, I saw a girl but she ran away with the hilichurls?" She said unsurely, it sounded so weird that Amber herself would rather believe that she was just hallucinating from the sheer amount of work from being an outrider for the Knights of Favonius.

"In fact, she ran away when you killed that mitachurl over there." she nodded to her right. "You can try to use elemental sight if you plan on taking her back to do some interrogating, or you can bring her directly to Grandmaster Jean if you think she's a fatui spy. She...is wearing some weird clothes..."

Kaeya's smile brightened, "Thank you Amber, and if I may, I'll leave right now."

-.-..-.

"OH MY GAWDDDD." You groaned as you flopped onto the grass. The hilichurls stopped at another hilichurl camp, just like the others, they made no move to attack. 

You rubbed your eyes tiredly, your stamina was a joke, "Do I have some kind of skill where monsters don't attack me or something? That's kinda cool, not gonna lie." You squished the small cryo slime roughly. "You're one hella cute slime, you're called Bob from now on, you hear me?"

The slime blinked, its cartoonish features making you laugh. "Can you even attack though?" You poked it, "Ow!" you hissed, a small icicle piercing your index finger. "Okay, okay, you aren't useless. Happy?" Bob made a huffing sound, spewing some cold air onto your face.

"You're like Paimon, but you don't yap nonstop and you are mine and not Lumine's or Aether's." You snickered, remembering how Paimon once pushed your lumine off a mountain because you got a little bit too close to the border when you were collecting material.

"Biaodomu, Kandala! (cursed enemy, fight)" Messy footsteps could be heard.

"Cool down!"

Your eyes widened, "Oh shit, it's Kaeya." You grabbed Bob and quickly climbed up a tree. Kaeya was a 4-star but nevertheless, he was the only strong person in the Mondstat starter pack, and in lore, he's a cavalry captain. The gameplay doesn't matter in Teyvat, the lore matters. Kaeya isn't the best in game, but it's only because you can only use one skill and one burst. In Teyvat, Kaeya probably could turn you into an ice statue or create icicles to kill you.

You peeked down the tree after a few minutes, surprised to see nothing except a bunch of dead hilichurls. "Damn, that was quick- Wait, where the hell did he go?" You held your breath, something in your head snapping together.

You slowly looked to your right, and there was Kaeya. Casually sitting next to you. 

"..."

"OH FUCK!"

You pushed yourself out of the tree, Bob clinging onto your hair for dear life, "What the hell did I do?!" You screeched,  running towards the previous hilichurl camp. 

"Hmpf." You hissed, your body skidding to a halt.

"Fatui, you are coming back with me to the headquarters." Amber glowered down at you. 

You turned back, only to slam into someone else. OH FUCK

Kaeya grinned as you lifted your head, "You'll stop running won't you?"

-.--.-.

Teyvat Chapter 1 - Sofiya, the most GenZ fatui

(Knights of Favonius headquarters)

Mhm. You were mistaken for a fatui. You looked down at your clothes, a hoodie, cargo pants and some boots. You had to admit that this was some weird clothing to the Teyvatians but Fatui??? Seriously? 

"A mora for your thoughts?" Your eyes snapped up. OH DAMN. In front of you, in her glory, was Lisa. You gulped, she wasn't the best in-game just like Kaeya but...in lore, she's a genius that graduated from the Akademiya and managed to beat a hell load of people's asses. 

Jean furrowed her brows, "Kaeya? Amber?" 

Amber stepped forward, "Some knights reported her being a fatui spy to Kaeya, so he went out to catch her and I just happened to be doing my commissions nearby." 

You scoffed, "Oh, you mean those cowards? They ran the moment the hilichurls started attacking them. Those snitches..." You huffed.

Kaeya snorted, "Indeed, however, the hilichurls seemed to not attack you. Don't you think that's quite suspicious?"

Your haughty expression wavered for a second before you grinned, "Well... I am quite a lucky ducky ain't I?" You snickered, rolling your eyes. "You reaaally should be less suspicious of people Mr Kaeya."

Lisa's eyes flashed with amusement, "Well sweetie, I, highly doubt that you are a fatui, your clothing, although weird, does not match with any fatui uniform."

Everyone looked at Jean for her final decision, "I agree with Lisa, she does not look like a fatui," I LOVE YOU JEAN "...but" BUT? WDYM BUT? "Just in case, I say that we put her with the rest for a few days and if there's nothing suspicious we can let her out as long as we keep a close watch."

Lisa raised her head from a book, "Your decision is the final, Jean. Amber, bring her to the dungeons for now, will you? And sweetie, if you're innocent, you'll be let out in no time, Jean will compensate you if you were wronged. But if you aren't..." Her lime green eyes darkened, "Well, we'll see won't we."

Her beautiful smile returned, waving you out. 

A sudden bang interrupted your way out. "Hah...hah..." Albedo groaned as he charged into the room. "Jean-" he paused, straightening his back and returning to his cold expression after seeing a horde of people in the office. 

"Grandmaster, did you see Klee anywhere? She ran out an hour ago, saying that she saw her friend somewhere." 

You were too busy admiring his looks whilst he and Jean conversed, their talking drowned out by your thoughts. Hoyo did him so bad, he is gorgeous like- his hair is fluffy, his eyes are beautiful, and omg his long fingers-

"Ahem." Kaeya raised a brow at your starstruck expression. "The knights will escort you to the dungeons, and in case you're wondering it's the 'cowards' you speak of."

Your horror made Kaeya quite amused to say the least. "Wait, why can't you do it? They're stupid, defenseless lil sh-assholes." You were pretty sure that Kaeya was a way better option than the dumb, dumber, and dumbest trio. 

Kaeya fake sighed, "Well, sadly, as the Cavalry Captain, I have work to do, and you seem pretty defenseless right now so there is no need for me to escort you. Hm?"

Jean gave Kaeya a look. "I'll be on my way Grandmaster Jean." He gave his signature flirtatious smile to you before dragging Amber out with him.

Oh hell no. You accepted your fate, the dumb, dumber, and dumbest trio pushing you towards a seemingly endless row of stairs leading down. Yup, never seen this in-game.

-.--.--.-

(Mondstadt Dungeons)

"Pssssst." The cicin mage had been bothering you for the past 10 minutes. Your eyes twitched, "What?" You hissed, annoyed. The mage's hair only had hints of green, so you assumed that she was in the dungeons for a long long time.

"Are you one of us or are you like one of them?" She nudged the man beside her. 

"What is wrong with you, Sofiya?" The man hissed in pain, her long manicured nails digging into his skin. The brunette rolled her eyes, "Whatever, you don't seem like one of those filthy treasure hoarders." She scoffed, kicking the man until he curled up into a fetal position. 

"Hmm, you don't seem like you're part of the fatui too..." she muttered. You edged back, seeing how strong she was, "Would you believe me if I said that I was innocent?" 

She paused her muttering, "Probably, you're not a treasure hoarder or part of the fatui so I'm guessing that they're going to let you out in a few days." She shrugged, "You see, I'm one of the more...likable fatui. Nice to meet you, I'm Sofiya Petrov. Quite obviously, I'm a cicin mage."

Sofiya giggled, "That despicable guy on the floor is Niko, a treasure hoarder with Snezhnayan blood. Quite inappropriate of him to join the treasure hoarders instead of the fatui." Her eyes hardened, kicking the man again.

Niko made no move to defend, slowly nudging back into his corner. Sofiya rolled her eyes, banging her fist on the cell, "Keyar, there's a newbie! Introductions are needed." A small face popped up from the cell next to them. Keyar was definitely caught recently, her hair still a murky green. "Hiya, my name's Keyarye but you can call me Keyar. I'm a Cicin mage. This is my brother Yeray, he's a pyro agent." The young girl smiled at you.

Sofiya snorted at your stiff body, "You need to calm down, we can't, and won't kill you yet. After all, we are quite well-behaved and sensible compared to our colleagues. They are all below us," she pointed to a staircase leading further down. It was so hidden that you would've sworn that it wasn't there if she hadn't pointed it out. "I'm quite glad that they placed those scum separate from us. They are not only weak, but they are a bunch of bratty, arrogant little shits."

Your eyes widened in surprise, you always thought that mobs like fatui agents were all going to be bratty in real life and be very cooperative with each other and all be evil...But then, they weren't mobs, everyone you've met is real...At least to the people in Teyvat. 

"Well... My name, Y/N, I was thrown in here because some cowards thought that I was a spy."

The cell stayed silent until Sofiya started laughing. "Pfft, are the knights absolute idiots? Wait, they are. You? A fatui? You would've been killed being spotted by non-fatui out of uniform. Oh, my archons..."

The dungeons echoed with laughter. Sofiya straightened her purple coat, the dungeons immediately silencing. The girl slowly stepped towards you, her cold blue eyes staring into your soul. "Everyone in here is either a Fatui or a treasure hoarder, so... if you turn out to be innocent, I trust that you won't tell anyone that we were being so un-Fatui like right?" 

You smiled innocently, "Why would I? You'll be punis-"

The entrance slammed open. "Pretty sister?"

A familiar loli grinned at your confused face.

"I'm here to save you."

-.---.-

Klee did not expect you to meet you in the dungeons. It had been 2 years to her, whilst, to you, it had only been a few days. She missed the time when you went fish blasting with her. Although she was placed in solitary confinement, it was worth it to her. She loved her big brother Albedo but he didn't really approve of her fish blasting, he tolerated her but he didn't like her blasting up at random places.

So when she noticed a familiar figure in Mondstadt, in a hilichurl camp, she thought you were in danger and was about to pull out her Dodoco until she saw a familiar bluenette killing all of them whilst you climbed up a tree, Klee decided to find some apples to give to you as a gift.

But when she returned, you were gone. Then, she began searching for you again, where she saw you entering the headquarters when she reached the city. Klee was scared, she had just bombed a lake and ran away from Albedo when she met him near the city. Jean would scold her again.

So she secretly waited until the knights left and then she sneaked into the headquarters. Klee was confused when she saw Kaeya and Amber handing you to three knights and leading you to the dungeons. She saw Kaeya walking towards the entrance so she slipped into the library when someone entered.

Thankfully, Lisa was still in the office so she managed to sneak out of the library without being caught and now here she is, unlocking your cell door.

"Pretty sister, Klee spent sooo long trying to find you." Klee hugged your waist tightly.

"Well if it isn't the Spark Knight." Sofiya grinned at her. Klee stared at her confused. "Hello big sister."

Sofiya gave a tiny genuine smile at the blob of cuteness in front of her. "Y/N, you have a record time for only staying with us for less than an hour. Quite impressive ain't it girlie." She shook your hands, casually stepping out of the cell. 

She fiddled with the locks with the other cell. "Aha."

Keyar stretched her arms, "Freedom, how nice." 

Klee blinked, "Pretty sister, did Klee...let them out?" she turned to you, "Can I let them out?" her face wrinkled. 

Keyar patted her head, "Don't worry lil child, we don't kill random people. We only got here because we're under Lady Signora." She approached a corner, tapping on some rocks to reveal a secret pathway, "Sofiya, our delusions are in there." 

Sofiya nodded, locking the cell after she got out with you, ignoring the pleas from other cells and the treasure hoarders. "These people are all unimportant, they have no value. Basically, these people are either freeloaders or they actually deserve to be in here." she snickered, "No wonder their mommy and daddy left them." She threw an especially dirty look at Niko. "Son of a bitch should stay here 'till his entire team gets caught and killed."

She sneered, skipping towards the secret room. Returning just seconds later. "They still work, which is a relief." The three fatuus began conversing in Snezhnayan language before turning to you.

"Well, Y/N, considering that you've technically helped us leave this stupid place we won't avenge the knights or anything or kill you. But if you do see us around, don't talk to us unless you need something. The knights will notice that we're gone. As long as no attention is drawn, they won't even remember that they arrested us."

Yeray rolled his eyes, "The entirety of Knights of Favonius is basically useless except the little girl beside you, the Cavalry captain, that scary librarian, the outrider, the Chief Alchemist, the maid that should've become a knight ages ago, and the Cavalry captain's brother who sometimes helps out."

Klee tugged on your hand. "Pretty sister, Klee needs to leave. Big brother Albedo will be worried." Her expression turned serious, "Pretty sister, please don't get arrested, Klee is a Knight, Klee can't do things like this anymore. Klee will find you soon. Bye bye~" she checked her pocket watch before running up the staircase. 

Sofiya cleared her throat. "If anyone talks about our escape I will come back and kill all of you." She scanned the entire room, the temperature dropping. Her lamp was in her hands again. Sofiya didn't look like a casual person like she was without her delusion. You noticed how her outfit was slightly more intricate than Keyar's probably because she's in a higher rank. She looked at you, "Quite obviously, we can't leave like the Spark Knight so hold on to me unless you want to stay here forever."

Teyvat Chapter 2 - Can't Escape The Plotline

"Emmmmmm." You stared at Bob then at the Blonde that was strangling it.

A few minutes ago Sofiya and her fatui colleagues thrown you to a statue of the seven and left immediately saying something about checking the fatui camps and killing some traitors. Sofiya leaving a small device in your hands saying that the fatui under her won't kill you if you don't lose it.

"Uhhhhh." A familiar fairy floated up to you. "Ehehehe. Sorry about that." She scratched her head, snatching Bob away from Aether's hands.

"..."

Aether was the first one to break the silence, "Um, sorry for... uh...strangling your- pet?" You cuddled Bob, hiding it from Aether.

"I suppose that I can forgive you." You stated flatly.

Paimon giggled nervously, "Do you want to go to Mondstadt City with us? Aether can get you some food as repayment for almost killing, uh, Bob."

You blinked, Paimon's a big foodie, nothing is more precious than food and maybe the traveler to her. I guess I'll forgive them since Aether is hot and Paimon's cute

"...Sure?"

Oh wait, Dvalin exists. Fuck. Your face slowly turned into horror as the two started to drag you towards the path. Oh hell no.

You dragged yourself lifelessly along with the duo, seeing Venti and Dvalin in the distance communicating.

You eyed a tree near you, and the moment Aether and Paimon interrupted their interaction, you leaped up.

"Who's there?!" Venti stiffened, Dvalin roared, taking off to the sky.

Venti's eyes flashed with a mix of emotions, anger, annoyance and nervousness. "Achoo!" Venti's eyes snapped towards a tree, the winds amplifying all sounds.

Your body temperature dropped when Venti's aqua eyes met with you. A bunch of rustling snapped both of your attention to the traveler. The god's eyes narrowed slightly, the blonde gave him a slight familiar sense, reminding him of an old friend whilst the e/c girl gave him a slightly more dangerous aura, familiar but a bit off.

"Hey!" Paimon shouted, trying to stop the god escaping.

Aether tugged her back, slightly frowning, "Let's go to Mondstadt first." He smiled tightly to you.

"Sorry-"

"HEY YOU! Stop right there! Wait- huh?" Amber's body almost tumbles to the ground, staring at you confused.

"..."

It took you two seconds before you started sprinting.

"NOT TODAY BISH!" You frantically ducked one of Amber's arrows, dashing towards the direction of Springvale.

"HEY!" Amber scowled, glaring at Aether, "Why would you stop me? She's a spy!" Her eyes narrowed. "You don't look like citizens of Mondstadt. Explain yourselves!"

Paimon waved her hands, "We're not looking for trouble!"

Amber crossed her arms, "That's what all the troublemakers say."

Aether stepped forward, shielding Paimon from Amber's hostile eyes, "I'm Aether."

Amber silently sized Aether up, "...Doesn't sound like a local name to me, and...this mascot, what's the deal with it?"

"We're friends." Aether's eyes flashed with impatience, "Yes, we've only traveled for two months."

"But we've already become the best of friends!" Paimon piped up, unaware of Amber's hostility.

Amber's eyes softened for a brief moment before turning hard, "To sum it up, you are travelling partners. As the outrider for the Knights of Favonius. There's a large dragon sighted around Mondstadt recently, I would advise you to get into the city as soon as possible...It's not far from here, I'll escort you there."

-.-.-

You panted furiously, your stamina stats were not kidding at all. You were pretty sure that a slime had better stamina than you.

The afternoon sun enveloped you in a warm haze, but the only thing you felt was hunger.

"I owe my frickin life to that lawachurl." you grumbled, stuffing yourself with several sunsettias. Aether has already met Paimon, so the defeat of Dvalin should be a matter of time. The main thing is, the time in Teyvat and the time in game is definitely unmatched. And the biggest problem you're facing right now is where will you live and how the fuck you're going to survive.

You ruffled through your bag, nothing was lost through your endless sprinting and jumping. Through all you interactions with the "characters" of Genshin Impact. You came to a dreadful conclusion. Although your stats weren't that low for a lvl 0 weakling, you are basically a mosquito in front of the vision holders. Yes, you had an unbelievably good weapon, but you weren't a vision holder so it's basically a fancy decoration.

Why did you compare yourself to a mosquito? Simple, mosquitos are easy to kill but they are annoying bitches that can leave a very unpleasant effect.

Just as you were contemplating your life, your phone suddenly dinged.

How is there data in Teyvat? You stared at the single block of mobile data. The fuck????  You noticed that for some reason, Yeleris and Moniqa haven't been messaging you.

Totallynotlazy

Guys?

Y3!3&13

Who are you?

Totallynotlazy

Wdym?

notmoniqa

- notmoniqa has sent an image -

notmoniqa

hackerrrrr

- Totallynotlazy has started a video call -

-.-.-.-

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Moniqa screeched.

You sighed, "Girl, as you can see, I'm clearly not in coma."

"But, but- if your body is here but then you're also wherever the fuck you are..."

Yeleris slapped a hand over her mouth. "Y/N, where the actual fuck are you? And if your phone is with you, what's this? And also, who's this?"

Her slim hands reached into 'your' pocket and pulled out your phone.

"..."

You froze for a second before calming yourself down. Being part of the student council had always made your demeanor calm until you've been transported here.

"I'm guessing that the person lying on my bed is also me, and that the phone you're holding is also-"

The sound of glass shattering interrupted the thick tension. Under the three of your confused and surprised gaze, your phone shattered in Yeleris' hands.

"It's...glitching." Moniqa whispered. Moniqa was sitting right next to Yeleris so she also managed to see the phone suddenly flash out and into existence multiple times before completely shattering.

"..." Yeleris' cool demeanor slightly wavered, her cold expression turning into one of shock.

"I have a conclusion." She stated out, her body trembling slightly. Both of you looking at her darkened eyes.

"I think, that the 'you' here with us is your physical body and the 'you' right now is your consciousness in another dimension. Of course, there are many other possibilities, like the 'you' with us being a fake imitation of you and the real you in whichever place you are. But then, the two 'you's might also be the exact same person, except you've somehow glitched into another world, just like your phone."

"..."

"But...why did her phone shatter?" Moniqa asked weakly, her eyes flashing with confusion.

"...Because, there cannot be two people under the same information and things in the same world. You notice how her phone only shattered after the video call and not whilst we were chatting right. In my reasoning, it only shattered because it was being used in another world, and the video call had been happening whilst Y/N's using her phone when this phone was shown to the camera, showing the other world the very same thing that is being used, so something, possibly space or time has destroyed the phone."

"I barely understand but ok..."

You frowned, "But, what about me? Will the me in school die?"

The only thing that replied to you was their silence.

"I..." Your legs felt like cotton, your body slowly drooping down into the grassy field.

"Where are you?" Yeleris asked softly.

Your scattered eyes once again focused onto her cold, heartless face.

"Say... would you believe me if I told you that... I'm in Genshin Impact?"

Surprisingly, Moniqa was the first one to nod her head.

"Girl, I've also played that game for some time, yes, I've only played for a month or two but I can associate your background to Mondstadt."

Her baby face scrunched up slightly, "However, since you're basically in a different world. Not to mention it's a game, we have no insurance of your safety you know."

"I'm assuming that the only things you have on you includes everything near your body before you went away. So that's basically just your phone, a pen, your headphones, a few pieces of candy, and a single hair tie." She stopped briefly, her eyes twitching, "can you access Genshin on your phone? And things in your inventory?"

You nodded. Moniqa stood up, striding towards your computer. "You know, the moment that I saw those meteors flying across the sky in broad daylight, especially how much they resembled the wishing screen you know."

Her sapphire blue eyes shined brightly, her sakura pink contacts no longer covering those gemstone like eyes.

"You know, I've been wondering, if you can go into Genshin in your account and be able to access things from your account. Can I... see you on screen?"

Your breathed heavily, a mixture of emotions muddling your head. Eyes fixated on the loading screen.

"Lookie lookie, seems like my idea was right."

You gaped at your figure on screen, unlike normal characters, your body was half transparent, just like a ghost.

"That genuinely freaks me out." You muttered.

Moniqa snorted, clicking into your character screen. "Jeez, you have dangerously low stamina and shit stats. Oh, and look, there's two character screens. Seems like one of them is your accounts and one of them is the characters in your world currently. Hell, there's even two quest pages. And damnnnn, the traveller didn't even open the Mondstadt Archon quest yet ." She said snickering.

The pinkette checked your inventory, noticing the brand new pages and the inventory bag that Skirk's given you.

"DAMN, YOU'VE GOT ONE HELLA CRACKED WEAPON!" She gaped at your tiny collection of random things.

"Wait, aren't you like, defenceless? I mean, you're definitely just like those NPCs that can't do a single thing against some normal hilichurls let alone mobs in Genshin." Yeleris suddenly said.

You scratched your head , "I meannnn, they don't attack me... probably because I'm not a Teyvatian. Like, Aether and Lumine are cracked so it does make sense that I, at least have some talent like everyone else so that I won't die from slimes and other stuff."

"Yeah but what if you meet fatui, treasure hoarders, eremites and other things that are humans or human made?"

You frowned, "I mean I can run?"

Yeleris rolled her eyes, "With that tiny stamina? I highly doubt so."

Moniqa raised her eyes, " Bob the cryo slime...what a unique name."

You sighed, "It's- I mean, he's my pet I guess."

Yeleris coughed lightly into her hand. "I think you should go to Mondstadt right now."

You stared at her confused, "Why?"

She smirked, a glimpse of amusement flashing across her face, "Why, to see the traveller and Dvalin have a teeny fight. After all, every thing we see in game is simplified. Like how Teyvat is shrunk from an entire world into a small area where someone can travel nation to nation in a matter of minutes. And from the distance that the traveller is positioned from Mondstadt, by the moment you get there, you should be able to see the cutscenes in real life. And of course, we will watch the true fight through your computer. So please, stand closer to whichever twin is in Mondstadt. Won't you?"

Teyvat Chapter 3 - We meet again

A freezing fog enveloped Mondstadt City as you approached. Fortunately, under the haziness, you managed to sneak in when the two guards were trying to adjust to the momentarily blindness.

Your eyes scanned across the empty streets, noticing Amber and Aether standing in the middle of the street. It's coming. Your eyes slowly brightened as a thin grey veil covered your eyes and the familiar blue dragon's shadow covered half of the city.

"The sky..." Aether's eyes flashed with uncertainty, the edge of his peripheral showing a silhouette. A few stray leaves interrupted his musings.

Above you, you gazed at Dvalin as he flew graciously across the air, your heart hurting as the dragon swooped down nearing Aether, just a flash, but you still noticed the pain in the dragon's face.

The very few people near the streets scrambled back home, most of them covering their heads or shielding their children from the flying rocks. Your body flinched as you saw a kid nearly get swept up into the sky, and another rock embedding into a girl's arm.

You hurriedly hid under a stall as tornadoes appeared near the Statue of Barbatos. Your hands coated in cold sweat. Lifting your wide eyes, your vision landed on the traveler. Closer... you ran towards Amber's direction, a tree crushing the fruit stall seconds after you've reached Amber.

Amber's orange eyes widened in shock as you stood besides her. "You-you...Ugh, I'll talk to you after Dvalin leaves."

Paying no heed to her endless rambling, your gaze once again landed on the traveler. "He'll be ok right?" Amber asked, she had just brought him here, from the journey, she could tell that Aether wasn't like the fatuis or treasure hoarders, she didn't want him to die yet.

You shrugged, "He's definitely going to survive." He didn't even die against Raiden Shogun, so he's definitely not going to die in this lil battle, he also had Venti's help, if he died, who would be the person that solves all the seven nation's problems? The abyss princess?

Above the clouds, Aether's vision landed on the howling Stormterror.

"Huh? How are you staying afloat like this with just a wing glider?" Paimon nudged his wing glider confusedly.

A young voice echoed through the loud wind, "I'm preventing your fall with the power of a thousand winds."

Far away from the city, under the large oak tree in Windrise sat Venti, or as how Teyvat calls him, Barbatos.

Being the current weakest Archon, he was far from his peak since the Archon war, less than ten percent at most. Although the war had greatly affected his powers, his lengthy sleep had at least slightly made him stronger.

The winds brought all information across to him, and being the Archon of Mondstadt, he was able to see everything happening in Mondstadt if he wanted to.

"Now, concentrate. See yourself grasping the wind. Harness its energy." He always knew that the blonde boy was an outlander, his clothes and looks reminded him of an old friend, not only that, their personalities were very similar.

On the other hand, the dark haired girl gave him a sense of familiarity, even though he was sure that he'd never ever seen her or even heard about her before. She had no vision, and was a powerless mortal just like the thousands of mortals living in Mondstadt. (In this story, Mondstadt will have around hundred thousand residents, Mondstadt city having around sixty thousand residents since Teyvat is going to be thousands of times bigger than in game Teyvat)

A loud gasp erupted from Amber. You groaned as the bunny girl hugged you even tighter, all of her hostility was gone, everything left was a cuddly mess. You rolled your eyes at the bubbly girl's dramatic antics, Aether's silhouette drifting throughout the entire sky as he shot anemo bullets at Stormterror.

Suddenly, a large gust of wind rolled you into a tornado and launched you into the sky. Bitch, I do not know how to fly, and I don't have a stupid wind glider. Your heart almost pumping out of your chest.

"Huh?" Your eyes met with Paimon's. You closed your eyes as your body rapidly neared the ground, Amber's faint screaming and Paimon's screeching blasting your eardrums.

"Try controlling the wind to lift yourself up."

Your eyes flew open. "How the fuck am I supposed to control it?" You hissed.

"...just say up in your head, I'll assist you."

"Up. Up? UP YOU FUCKING BITCH!!" You screamed as your body almost crashed against a rooftop.

Very "cliche"-ly, your body lifted up when you were centimeters away from dying.

"Go assist your friend, try using that weapon you have."

You scowled slightly, how did Venti know about your bow? You would probably never know.

You clumsily controlled the wind by screaming direction to it. Sneakily taking out your phone, you quickly tapped the glitched Genshin App that had appeared next to the original Genshin App after the video call you had with Yeleris and Yvonne.

It was an app that opens in less than a second and shows all the characters that you've met, the current progress in the plotline and your character screen and your friendship levels. You quickly found the catalyst you've gotten from Skirk.

"Wait, I don't know how to use a bloody catalyst." You face palmed, your eyes twitching as you scrolled across your tiny inventory. "Fuck it, Imma try to command it or something."

"Shoot."

"..."

"你他妈的," (The fuck)

You cussed in your mother's mother tongue (I'm using chinese as Mihoyo is a chinese company and for plot reasons)

"Holy shit." You gaped as a beam of anemo struck Dvalin.

A glitchy -300 flashed multiple times before glitching out of existence. "Did you see that?" You asked Paimon excitedly.

Paimon furiously nodded, "Yup, you managed to scare him away." You frowned, "No, I mean-" Paimon blinked, "Yes?"

You sighed, tugging Paimon as you and Aether slowly descended. "A-are you hurt?" Amber dashed towards the two of you, checking on the both of you.

Light clapping sounds attracted your vision as Kaeya calmly walked towards the three of you.

"You've actually got the power to go up against the dragon..." His periwinkle eye was clouded with amusement and interest. His eyes stopped briefly on you before focusing on Aether. "Are you a new ally or a new storm?"

Amber scowled, hiding the two of you behind her, "Stormterror...is attacking Mondstadt itself!" She glanced at you, "Kaeya, Aether, um... and you, you've come at the right time. We must..."

Kaeya grinned, "Hold on Amber, are you perhaps forgetting to introduce us?"

Her eyes flashed with a glimpse of annoyance and coldness, "Oh...right. This is Kaeya, our Cavalry Captain. These two are travelers from afar, Aether and Paimon... As for her, she's the, um, spy that we caught a few hours earlier."

You rolled your eyes at the awkward introduction, "I'm Y/N L/N. The non-existent 'spy' you guys speak of."

Kaeya snorted, his eyes furrowing, "Perhaps...From afar? Is that all we know of them?"

Amber scratched her head nervously, "Long story short..."

(Time skip)

"I see. Welcome to Mondstadt- though you haven't arrived at the best of times. I'm afraid."

Kaeya placed a hand over his chest, "I understand the anguish of being separated from family...but everyone has their secrets right?"

You close your eyes, listening to the familiar dialogues of the Stormterror scenario.

"Y/N?"

You opened your eyes, hiding your slight annoyance, "Hm?"

Aether slightly nodded towards Kaeya and Amber, "You coming?"

Teyvat Chapter 4 - Windborne travelers

(Y/S Tower 3 Dorm 109)

The wind rattled the windows, a cold red fog slowly covered the entire world.

Lorelei's eyes opened, turning around, her eyes fixating on her twin. "Lorelie..." The identical girl giggled slightly, placing a finger across her lips.

"Hey, this is just the start, the only thing we need to do is wait." Lorelie's strawberry blonde hair was tinted with red under the blood moon. She lifted her head, her eyes glinting under her uncut bangs. "The game's just started."

The girl stared at her for a moment, before lowering her head and fumbled for her phone.

"Ya'll ready? This world has 100% death rate and there's no guides at all. I'll try to meet you guys tomorrow ok?"

"...mhm."

(Y/S Tower 8 Dorm 182)

Yeleris gazed down on the silent streets of f/s. She raised her eyes to the blood moon, her eyes narrowing upon seeing the red fog. 

"Go to sleep Yeleris." Moniqa pinched your cheeks, "Y/N looks like a dead person right now." she sighed. "We need energy for tomorrow."

"How long do you think it will take her to finish the plotline?" Yeleris asked softly. Moniqa's lowered her head and stared at your body. "I've asked the Association to calculate the time. But the time in Teyvat is very unstable. Sometimes a day in Teyvat could be a second here but sometimes it could be ten minutes or an hour. One thing I have tested is when we're viewing Y/N, the time in Teyvat flows simultaneously with Earth's."

"We have no idea how long it took the traveler to finish the plotline, not to say that the plotline hasn't even finished. We could only see how does Mihoyo warp the plotline. After all, the first Mihoyo company that created Genshin doesn't belong to this world. This world is just one of the many alternate universes."

Yeleris rubbed her forehead, "Hopefully the first wave of monsters are weak. This body and it's soul is nothing compared to my original body's." Moniqa scowled, "Excuse me? Mine's is even weaker? And I'm not even saying how this soul has been yapping in my mind all day?"

The dark haired girl scoffed, "You must admit that we've got transported to decent bodies, I remember that Luka's gotten transported into a beggar's body. And both of the souls aren't trying to force us out, they do have the main control. We only get to do whatever we want when they fall asleep."

Moniqa rolled her eyes, "Hopefully they manage to survive to the end. I don't want to have a single failure uglify my beautiful record, and anyways, I really wanna see how bad this RH-o1 disease is."

-.-.-.

(Knight's of Favonius HQ)

"Jean, I've brought them."

You frowned slightly at Jean's surprised expression, your annoyance from your last encounter a few hours ago still evident.

Lisa smiled flirtatiously at the two of you, your body slowly edging towards a plant behind you.

"...and once it was over, I brought them straight here." Kaeya crossed his arms.

Jean smiled apologetically at you, "Mondstadt welcomes you, windborne travelers." Her stone grey eyes only had coldness, her facial expressions not matching her internal thoughts. "I am Jean, Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius. This is Lisa, our resident Librarian."

The purple witch's smile grew bigger, "Oh! Are you sweeties here to help us out? You're both so adorable. Sadly, the timing is regrettable." a coy smile emerged from her face, her lime green eyes reflecting Aether's confused expression. "Stormterror has caused quite a ruckus in the region since its recent resurgence."

"Simply put, Mondstadt's elemental sphere and the ley lines are now akin to a yarn ball in the paws of a kitten. For a mage, it couldn't get much worse. My skin is one elemental particle away from a full-blown breakout."

Jean fixated her eyes on Aether, "If it weren't for this interference. The Knights of Favonius would have better ways to help you than just putting up missing person posters."

You laughed internally, knowing the plot, the only thing that Mondstadt gave Aether was his title and experience in fighting monsters. 

"We simply ask that you response in Mondstadt while we seek out your sister."

Aether nodded, "Paimon will help out too!"

You snorted lightly, Paimon's main function was stating the obvious and being moral support. Her help was quite miniscule to say at least. But nevertheless, she was a good companion, at least she genuinely cared for the traveler.

Jean's gaze stopped on you for a few seconds, as if asking you. You stared into her eyes, an innocent smile was all you needed for her to turn her attention back to where she was supposed to.

"Good. In that case we need a plan." Kaeya stated flatly.

"With Stormterror now directly attacking Mondstadt, we may have an opportunity to cut the problem off at the source, Lisa has revealed the sources of Stormterror's power with her detection magic."

"Is that so?"

Lisa turned towards Kaeya, "They're located in the abandoned Four Winds Temple, Stormterror's ability to whip up these kinds of storms can be attributed to drawing power from the temples"

Jean flicked off some dust from her sleeve, "Our objective is to deal with three of the four temples. I trust everyone understands why we are only dealing with three."

Paimon scratched her head awkwardly, "Paimon doesn't."

You pulled the floating fairy closer to you, "Paimon, shush, we only need to listen."

The fairy blinked confused, "ok." she whispered.

Jean ignored the slight disruption, "Knights of Favonius, time is against us. The storm is rampant, there is no point in maintaining a defensive position. Alright we need to take initiative and act before the situation escalates."

You lazily lifted your eyelids as Aether began to walk out. "Welp, nice to meet you, Aether and Paimon. Me and Bob will leave you guys to do what ya'll are doing. Bye bye." 

"Wait, you aren't coming with me and Amber?" Aether scratched his head confused. You blinked, "What do you mean? That's your job. I don't need to find a sister or anything."

"Y/N you're leaving us!!" Paimon screeched. "Paimon, we literally just met an hour ago. I'm only here at Mondstadt because you guys owe me a meal." You crossed your arms.

Amber gasped, "What? You weren't companions?" You stared at her weirdly.

"We can offer you a place in the inn and the same rewards if you do it with Aether." Lisa clasped her hands together. 

You hesitated. "You do realize that you don't have to do everything with Aether right?  You don't have to do everything that he does." Kaeya poked Bob who had jumped from your hood and into your arms.

You stared at him, "You do understand that unlike Aether, I'm a normal person that can't do anything right." You said bluntly.

"You used the power of anemo did you not?" Amber asked.

"...Ok, but if I end up no use, you guys can't blame me."

Paimon did a small flip in the air. "So you won't leave us right?" 

"For now." You ruffled the little fairy's hair.

"Amber, bring them to Wagner for a weapon first." Amber saluted, "Yes, Grandmaster Jean."

(Mondstadt City)

You refused the offer of  Amber buying you a weapon. "It's fine, I have a catalyst. I just um, don't really know how to use it." 

Amber patted your shoulder, "Don't worry, it takes some time trying to master the catalyst. And anyways, you don't seem to have a vision, like the traveler." 

"That's the whole point. I don't even know how I managed to use anemo." Amber frowned, "Wait, I'll buy you a sword just in case." She hurriedly ran back to Wagner.

"You're an...outlander?" Aether asked tentatively. You shrugged, "Secret."

"Here's a silver sword. If you really can't use the elements you can at least have something to defend yourself." Amber looked at her pocket watch, "You guys should be on your way now, I'll meet you guys soon." she nodded slightly at the three of you. 

Aether stared at the little dot that was Amber in the distance. "Paimon, do you know where we're going?"

Paimon opened a gigantic map, spreading it on the bench. "There, let's go unlock the statue of seven nearby first thought. We can test whether Y/N would get anemo abilities like you too!"

Teyvat Chapter 5 - Temple of the Lion

You finally knew why everyone seemed to wear a coat or thick clothes in Mondstadt. The chilliness of Mondstadt nights was like a thousand needles penetrating your skin, of course, the traveler looked the same like always, but you didn't have a godly body like Aether, so every minute was like being in an ice bath.

You rubbed your sore legs tiredly, the travelling trio, well quartet if you count in the little cryo slime had finally reached the Statue of the Seven in Windrise.

"Come on Y/N! Paimon believes in you!" Paimon swooped down towards you, poking your face. 

"P-Paimon, you can literally float. You know how, how bloody unfair this is?" Your voice literally trembled from the 3 hour trek from the city gates.

The sky had turned dark an hour ago, and you felt a bit guilty for being the main reason why it took so long. You gritted your teeth as you straightened up, your legs still fighting with each other.

"Quite frankly, how the actual fuck are you not sweating or anything." You hissed at Aether, hell, his hair was still fluffy and there was not a single ounce of sweat on him.

"It's a you problem Y/N. You just have relatively low stamina." Aether stated bluntly.

"Nuh-uh." Thanks Pai- "Paimon thinks relatively is too generous for Y/N, what's the word called? Abysmal? Yep! Y/N's stamina is abysmal, Paimon swears that even Timmie could run faster and walk longer than her." Take that back. TAKE THAT BACK. TIMMIE IS JUST A LIL SHIT THAT FEEDS PIGEONS

"Can we just- just do whatever Aether does with the Statue of the Sevens?" You raised a trembling hand, yanking Paimon out of the air.

The two of you ignored Paimon's cries and you watched in awe as the Statue slowly glowed a beautiful royal blue from Aether's touch.

"Try it, you might be able to control the power of Anemo." Aether nudged you towards the statue.

"..."

You poked the statue again. "Hey, that's mean, how come-"

The statue suddenly glitched in front of your eyes, heat emitting from it as the blue hue turned into a dazzling gold.

Although it looked absolutely beautiful to Aether and Paimon, even Bob, who had jumped out of your arms the moment the statue turned gold, it was a whole other situation for you. 

"AH SHIT!" You were snarling as you yanked your hand away, the burning sensation still lingering on your fingers. 

"This thing a bloody furnace." You glared at the stone Barbatos on top of the pedestal. "You disgusting little-"

Paimon squeezed the thin piece of skin on your elbow, "Y/N, you can't say that to an Archon. This is Mondstadt." she lowered her voice nearing the end.

"Did you not see it glitch?" 

"What do you mean?"

"I-, never mind, I almost forgot that there are a bunch of people obsessed with barbie toes in Mond." you muttered quietly.

"Well, did you feel anything inside of you?"

"...the only thing I feel is hunger..."

Aether sighed exasperatedly, "I feel like you're another Paimon. Anyways, you remember how you managed to control yourself to fly when we were against Dvalin? Like, try to find that feeling?"

You scratched you head, "Not going to lie,  the way I controlled the wind was, um, shouting at it."

"..."

"..."

"Paimon, Paimon- , EUGH! Paimon doesn't know what to say! Aether! You're on!" The fairy punched the blonde lightly.

"Um... I don't know, command them like you did last time?" The blonde smiled awkwardly, his eyes darting around.

You took a deep breath, "Wind? Carry me? Please? "

"..."

You frowned, reminiscing how the wind carried you up and down. Perhaps it had something to do with the Chinese cuss word you threw out? It was a possibility, Mihoyo being a Chinese company.

"风起?" (It's basically telling the wind to blow)

Just like you expected but also slightly outside of your expectations, the windless night slowly had large gusts of wind blowing towards you.

"Paimon knew that you could do it! Try to control it without speaking! Then you can actually fight monsters with us! Of course, not including Bob."

You blinked, trying the method in your head. This time, the wind was weaker but it was still a success.

A tiny smile appeared on your lips, "Seems like I'm not completely useless in this world..." you murmured, "By the way, aren't we supposed to meet Lisa?"

Paimon gasped dramatically, "Paimon almost forgot! Quick! We need to reach there before midnight! Y/N try to use anemo to increase your speed and if you can, float. Aether, you too!"

You glanced at Aether, "Just think the commands in your mind, although the way I control anemo is different, the same method should work." 

Surprisingly, anemo sped up your journey to the designated location by a lot. And by a lot, it meant two hours. You suddenly understood why being a vision holder was so desired.

(Temple of the Lion）

"Hey cuties! So you're both going to help me out? How kind of you. Of course, as repayment, don't hesitate to come to me if you need anything." Lisa smiled upon your arrival.

You nodded slightly. "What kind of things does a librarian do?" Aether asked.

The woman's smile grew wider, "Basically, things other than that which require brawn...or brains."

"So what does that leave?" Paimon asked. Lisa responded with a mysterious smirk before hurrying towards the temple.

You observed her slight shock when the temple turned blue as Aether pushed the door open to reveal a starry night. You giggled as her shock turned into confusion when you stepped in and the temple flashed with gold before returning back to blue. The effects on the statues and domains were different but Lisa's facial expressions repaid it.

Stepping into the abyss, you found yourself standing in front of multiple doors, there seemed to be an invisible floor in the middle of the abyss. After Lisa came inside, the door you came in from slowly disappeared, leaving you with various smaller doors.

"Which door do we go into?" Paimon asked.

You froze, "You don't see them?" Paimon turned to you confused. "Never mind, it's that door." You pointed to the plainest door on the far left, floating on top of it, was "Deep within the Temple of the Lion". The other probably couldn't see the words, just like how Paimon didn't notice how the Statue of Barbatos was glitching.

Lisa raised a brow, "Indeed, follow me, I will guide you onwards."

-.-.-.

(Inside the Temple of the Lion)

The inside of the Temple was very unrealistic, far more unrealistic than the in game version. One step off the ledge would send you off to somewhere nobody would find you. Although you would probably be transported back on land before you die or out of the domain if that was an actual feature in Teyvat.

Lisa beckoned the three of you up the stairs, "I guess I could give this a go." She looked up, "I knew it. There is a strong elemental energy coming from deep within this temple. Paimon, are you able to float across?"

Paimon nodded, her eyes sparkling as she found several radishes in a barrel. "Let's ride this wind current, shall we?" Lisa pointed towards the strong gusts of wind.

"I'm aware that Y/N doesn't have a wind glider but the power of anemo should be able to lift you up if you combine it with the strong wind current."

The Door of Resurrection activated automatically upon entering the room. The three rushed towards the next room, you stayed in the room finding the common chest behind some wooden crates. A common chest in Genshin is barely anything to high AR players but to NPCs and people who's just gotten their visions, the things inside were absolute treasures, even if they don't need it, they could sell it for mora.

Throwing the items into your inventory, you quickly met up with Aether.

"Leave it to me." 

Unlike how weak Lisa is in game, she killed the pyro slime in with a single strike of electro. The slime slowly turned into elemental particles, which flew towards Lisa and was absorbed.

The four of you placed your hands on the large door, the door unlocking upon touch.

"It's an electro monument." Lisa pointed towards the middle of the room. "No wonder, let me try to activate it with a bit of electro power. Stand back, sweeties. The two of you can share the chest later, I have enough of those trinkets."

She quickly used her elemental skill, four pyro slimes appearing from the elemental particles emitting from the monument. 

"How annoying." Lisa raised her hand lazily, killing all of them, her catalyst floating besides her. 

You narrowed your eyes at her catalyst, it was the Widsith, the best four star weapon for her. 

Aether ran towards the chest offering you the mora inside. "Keep it for yourself, there's another one over there."

You shook your head, opening the chest hidden behind the chest. You seemed to have better luck than Aether, he had only gotten some mora, a few pieces of fowl that was surprisingly still edible, a wanderer's advice and a single sigil.

You on the other side, had gotten twice the amount of mora and an extra piece of sigil.

"There's some hilichurls in the next room, why don't you two show me some of your power?" Lisa smiled sweetly.

You gulped as she pushed you and Aether towards the water. Aether nodded to you slightly, his dull blade appearing in his hands. 

You took a deep breath as the four hilichurls rushed towards the four of you. 

A ball of anemo appeared in your hands, the catalyst gifted from Skirk appearing near you. 

"They, they aren't attacking you?" Paimon's mouth opened widely, the hilichurls going around you to attack Aether.

Lisa's smile deepened, "How interesting." She murmured, it's been a long time since something has interested her since her time in the Akademiya. You and Aether unlocked that hidden curiosity deep inside her warped mind.

"Take the chest, I did nothing." You frowned at the bodies of the hilichurls. Different from the slimes, the hilichurls didn't turn into elemental particles right away, they stayed for a few minutes before turning into a black smoke. 

Being low level mobs, they had no drops at all, and your focus was quickly moved to the second wind current.

"Oh, another wind current, let's ride it up from here." Lisa's wind glider unfolded from her back, appearing and disappearing just like her catalyst.

"Aether, there's a chest behind those barrels." You felt a bit guilty for taking so many chests without telling  Aether who was supposed to take everything inside the domain.

You jumped down, landing on the platform below. Just like before, the mobs made no move to hurt you. And for a second, you almost felt a bit conflicted.

The hilichurls stared at you for a moment, and as if understanding why you're here, they suddenly disappeared, dragging the large hydro slime with them.

"You killed them already?" Aether jumped down, spotting you right away.

"I suppose so?" You opened the chest quickly. 

"Hey Lisa, what's that purple gem?" Aether asked.

The four of you were standing on the moving platforms by now. "You're kidding...You're seriously asking? This is a vision. It's used by the chosen to draw on elemental powers. In terms of mysticism. I suppose you would call it a 'magical lightning rod'." 

She turned towards Aether, "What...You've never seen a vision? Just where exactly are you from...? Are you a hilichurl with some level of reasonable intelligence?" she asked jokingly.

Upon entering the last room, a strong force of anemo whipped across the space. 

"Break it and we can head home and relax." 

You stood next to Lisa in silence as Aether collected everything inside the precious chest.

"Dragon of the East, Lion of the South, Wolf of the North, Falcon of the West...They are the Four Winds of Mondstadt, affiliated with Barbatos, the God of Anemo. The Dragon of the East, Stormterror -it's real name, is Dvalin."

She placed a hand over her heart, "Though most in Mondstadt seem to have forgotten that in all this 'Stormterror' business. So now you know why Dvalin is only able to channel three of the Four Winds' power, because it has been consuming itself from the beginning,"

"Why." Aether frowned, "Why would he go in such lengths?"

Lisa sighed softly, "Because of hatred I presume."

"Hatred...?" Paimon tapped her chin.

"Hatred for Mondstadt. Hatred drove it to become something more powerful than the wind itself - to become Stormterror."

"But why would one of The Four Winds...Hate the city it was supposed to protect?"

She shrugged, "As a child of Mondstadt, it's something that's really hard to say aloud. Here, take this. It's a very old story from more than a century ago."

And without another word, she stepped into the blue circle and was transported out of the domain.

"Lisa?" You called out. 

"She probably left already. Come on, we need to meet with Amber." Aether tugged you towards the Teyvat map.

"Hold my hand and I'll teleport us back to Mondstadt."

Teyvat Chapter 6 - Katheryne

You, Aether, Paimon, and Bob had finally completed all three of the domains. 

The conclusion was that all three of them including Lisa and Amber who's been called as some of the weakest and trashiest characters in game could kill you in a heartbeat. 

Amber had really good archery skills, her baron bunny being a literal grenade, not to mention she can throw it very far unlike the game. Kaeya had really powerful elemental skill and burst and his reflexes were very good. In fact, you and Aether seemed to have done nothing, your only job being opening the chests and learning about Dvalin.

You've stopped Aether and Paimon when Kaeya waved you goodbye, and the four of you hid behind a pillar as a hydro abyss mage floated out and was instantly thrown to the ground by Diluc.

"Who's that?!" Paimon whisper-yelled. 

"Diluc, the owner of the Dawn Winery. Shush." You pushed Paimon away from your ear.

"Is he looking at us?" Aether moved his head back , "We should leave."

You nodded.

(Mondstadt City)

When your little group arrived back into the city walls, the sky was no longer cloudy, Mondstadt's clear blue skies with it's shining sun no longer hidden beneath the thick veils of clouds and fog.

"Hey, Aether, Y/N. There's a lady over there waving to you."

Katheryne grinned, she seemed like a normal human, but you knew that she was just a robot. Teyvat's robotic technology was far more better than Earth's but you would say that Earth's technology included more factors and had a lot more things that Teyvat doesn't have.

"Welcome to the adventurers' Guild. Actually, I had my eye on you for a long time." Katheryne clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling at the two of you.

"You've had your eye on Aether and Y/N? What, they've been causing some mischief?" Paimon, no

"Oh, that is not what I meant at all. Being on the lookout for great adventurers is part of my job."

The amount of dialogue. You crossed your arms in boredom.

"Y/N, are you listening, claim the Adventure Rank rewards!" Paimon poked you. 

Katheryne handed you a thick parcel. "Right now, you're on AR7, these are your rewards."

"How do we check our Adventure Ranks?" Aether asked. 

"We give a handbook to all of our adventurers, it isn't a normal handbook, it shows your AR, domains, enemies and many other things. It changes as you explore more and more places. I cannot tell you why it's able to do that however."

Katheryne handed you and Aether some papers, "Without further adio, please allow me to officially welcome you, our new avid adventurer, into the Guild!"

You scanned the paper quickly. Vision? none. Gender? Female. Birthplace? Why would I tell you. Address? Homeless.

"Here." You handed your papers back to Katheryne.

"..." Katheryne's eye twitched,  "Um...well, on here it says that both of you have no place to live, I can point you to some hotels and inns, or if you wish to rent or buy a house, I can contact some people."

"..."

Aether exchanged a look with you, "Um... how much mora do you have?" 

"I've got like 8000." over two million, but he doesn't need to know that.

"I've got, well 2300..." Aether frowned.

"Paimon has nothing."

They looked at Bob. 

"?"

The cryo slime hesitated, spitting out a few pieces of mora.

"Katheryne, do you know the pricing of the rentable places?" You asked awkwardly, Aether was poor, Paimon was a leech, Bob is Bob and you couldn't exactly say that you were rich since you were with Aether most of the time.

"...Well, dear adventurers, the cheapest place is...10,000 a month. I can...show you it?" Katheryne smiled innocently.

"We're left with 327 mora if we rent it." Aether whispered to you.

"It's fine, we can accept some quests and commissions." You whispered back.

"Sure, are you able to show it to us now?" You straightened up, handing her 10,000 mora.

Katheryne led you to a decent house, it had two rooms, two toilets, a kitchen, a living room, a storage room and a small balcony.

"We'll take it." You and Aether said in unison.

"I'll leave it to you...four? To decorate your house, return back to me by the end of the month if you wish to continue renting this house. One more thing, if you find yourself stuck in a certain AR, you need to perform some impressive feats to gain further recognition from the guild. As your adventure rank increases, the enemies you face will also become more powerful, the weaker enemies will find weaker opponents than you. This will do for today. We have plenty of chances to meet again in the future." She waved and went back towards the guild.

"Welp, that's one thing off our list." You examined the rooms, it had everything you needed, there were even toiletries in one of the cupboards. 

"Y/N, I think we should explore the city." You raised your brows.

"With what money? That money can only buy one single Teyvat fried egg."

"..."

You sighed, "How about we get some mora first and then explore the city? We can rest later."

-.-.-.-

"How much mora do we have now?" you wiped your forehead, killing the last hilichurl with a wind bullet.

"3192..."

You groaned, "We can't even buy lunch with that. Should we just try to do some Ley lines?" 

"I..."

"We get like 12k mora."

"We're doing it."

-.-.-.-

The sun was at it's highest when you returned back into the city. After splitting the money and receiving an extra 3000 back for the 8000 in rent, you now had 21k mora.

Aether had left to Good Hunter's to fill Paimon's never ending stomach.

"Y/N!" Katheryne called out, "Remember to check your handbook, I can also contact you through it to alert you about quests, commissions and other things that you might be interested in."

You nodded slightly, opening the handbook. Right away, you spotted the quest about the wind glider test.

"...What? I don't even have a wind glider, why did I get this quest too?"

Nevertheless, you decided to grab Aether from Good Hunter's to go with you to the Cathedral.

"Hey Aether! Hi Y/N! I've been looking for you everywhere! How's that wind glider I gave you last time?" Amber waved you over.

"Pretty good."

You close your eyes, ignoring the dialogues.

"A gliding license? Hmm... What's that?" Here comes Paimon with her stupid questions...

"Isn't it obvious? You gotta have a gliding license to legally glide in Mondstadt!"

Here it comes... "Today, I'm here as an examiner, to oversee Vik's official gliding exam!"

Blah Blah Blah. "Y/N, I need to do the gliding exam now, you coming?" Aether offered.

"Naur, I have things to do. Ciao." You rubbed your temples, you were going to have a shopping spree. 

"Bye!" Paimon yelled.

-.-.-.-

"Hello- Oh my, your clothes!" The woman gasped at your dirty hoodie. 

You smiled awkwardly, "Um, can you recommend me some clothes?"

"Yes, of course, is there a particular price you're looking for or a particular style? Oh, my name is Belacha, welcome to my store."

Belacha was a lady in her 20s, she had wavy red hair, and her store was in the middle of the city. Mondstadt City was probably twenty times bigger than the in game version. There were a lot more stores, houses, plazas and streets.

"Do you have, like anything lower than 15k?" You had a lot of money in your inventory but did you want to use them? No,

"My shop has items from 8k to 50k, I suppose you can call my store a luxury store, but yes, I do have some suitable clothing items for you."

She handed you a knee length black dress with white puffy sleeves and white leather straps lying on the waist. 

You tried it on and not going to lie, it was really comfortable, it was a tight fitting dress but you barely felt anything on you, and most of all, there were hidden pockets.

Belacha smiled at your slight shock. "This dress is also waterproof and heat resistant. I asked a cryo vision holder to help me infuse some power inside the fabric so that it would keep the wearer comfortable. The only downside of this dress is that you have to wear shorts and the pockets are only able to fit small items. Which is why there's a leather strap for you to tie things on it."

You turned your head towards her, "How much?"

The red head grinned, "The original price was 18k but I'll sell it for you for 15k considering that I've never seen you before and that the dress really suits you. In fact. I'll throw in some black shorts with hidden pockets if you promise me to show off this dress to people."

You smiled, "Sure, why not?" You handed her the 15k mora, carrying your old clothes in a small paper bag.

You took out a pocket watch Amber had given you as an apology for not getting you a wind glider.

"7:31..." Aether wasn't back yet, a perfect time to communicate with your friends back on Earth.

-.-.-.-

Totallynotlazy

notmoniqa

Totallynotlazy

Don't make me regret it gurl ;/

-.-.-.-

You cleared your throat.

"Hey Katheryne."

The robot turned to you, smiling, "Ad astra abyssosque. How may I help you?"

"Are the skies of Teyvat real?" You asked, staring into her cold eyes.

"Why are you asking?" Something seemed to change in her eyes, a glint of red.

You took a deep breath, "Because I sense forbidden knowledge from you."

One of Katheryne's eyes turned red, she stood there, smiling at you.

"Sorry what were you asking?"

"Are the skies of Teyvat real?"

"Why are you asking?"

The process repeated three times until her eyes completely turned red.

"Are the skies of Teyvat-"

"Welcome." Katheryne glitched, her red eyes focusing on you, her smile turning wider. 

She grabbed your hand, pulling you towards her until your body slammed on the desk.

"Welcome." She took out a quill. She quickly pulled out a needle, stabbing your palm.

"Katheryne!" You tried to pull your hand back, your stomach throbbing. 

Her smile never changed, she dripped your blood on a piece of paper. She placed the quill on the paper, still staring at you as the feather sucked up all the blood. 

As if moved by an invisible force, the quill started moving rapidly on the paper.

You were finally able to pull your hand out of her iron grip as the quill fell back onto the desk. 

Katheryne was suddenly slammed backwards, a large thud, as she fell unconscious.

"What the actual fuck." You snatched the paper up from the desk, and you turned around, about to run.

"Huh? Why am I on the floor?" You swiveled around.

"Oh, hi Y/N, I seemed to have, fallen down?" You observed her face. Her pupils were back to normal, her smile wasn't like a Cheshire cat's anymore, she was back to the same old Katheryne.

"Mhm, bye bye Katheryne!" You ran away, the piece of paper crumpled in your pockets.

Teyvat Chapter 7 - Hello world

(short chapter alertttt)

Your second night in Teyvat has begun, the dreamy stars shined down on you, the moonlight bathing you in a dim glow.

Aether was still out, probably pulled into the capture of Raptor. You've broken contact with everyone on Earth now, all apps worked except for your messaging apps, the large crumpled paper Katheryne has given you laid quietly in front of your eyes.

You could barely interpret the information, the words being a jumbled between Chinese, French, Indian, Russian, Japanese, English and Spanish. It probably had something to do with the Seven nations, Liyue, Fontaine, Sumeru, Snezhnaya, Inazuma, Mondstadt and Natlan. Surprisingly instead of German, there was English but that was good news for you so you quickly forgot about that.

"Hello world,

If you've found this note, (unrecognizable words), (unrecognizable words) for information that would increase your chances of surviving this cursed game.

By the time this note was discovered I'm sure that I'm either dead or (unrecognizable words) You see, every time someone descends, the world changes a bit, people who fail to survive in the first (unrecognizable words) are forgotten and wiped out from everyone's memories, even the outlander's. (unrecognizable words)

So please, please remember these rules I've gathered from (unrecognizable words)

1. Do not trust (unrecognizable words)

2. (unrecognizable words) kill you

3. You can trust Katheryne when you're with the traveler or when it's 6:00am - 9:00pm

4. Rhinedottir and Alice (unrecognizable words) but be careful

5. The Tsaritsa is searching for you, she has visions due to (unrecognizable words)

6. Do not let the gnoses (unrecognizable words)

7. The heavenly principles has (unrecognizable words), (unrecognizable word) can't be trusted

8. DO NOT LET THEM KNOW ABOUT (unrecognizable words)

I will wish you the best of luck. If you ever see me, (unrecognizable words)

Signing off,

Larecia Von (unrecognizable word)"

"...I-" Your brows furrowed, for a moment you regretted not paying attention in language classes and sleeping in them.

You had a million questions. Is this person lying? How did Yeleris and Yvonne know this glitch when you've never even heard of it? Who's trying to kill you? Why did all descenders before you die? How is the Irmminsul involved?

A bad feeling sprouted inside you, Katheryne was basically the guide of all players in one point, so if she can't be fully trusted, could she tamper with quests and commisions?

The candle flickered twice before completely going out. You looked at the time, changing your clothes quickly.

"Katheryne!"You panted, approaching the emotionless robot.

"Ad astra abyssosque. Is there anything you need?" She smiled, she looked normal but after reading the note you just had this feeling of hundreds of spiders crawling on her back.

"Katheryne, do you know someone called Larecia?" You checked on the time again, 8:58, two minutes before Katheryne can't be trusted.

Her eyes flickered, her head tilted to the side. "Larecia?" She smiled politely, "Is it someone that you're finding? I can commission it for you."

You frowned, checking the time again, one more minute. "Who gave you the slip of paper?" Your heart started to beat as she continued smiling at you, tilting her head to the side.

A cold breeze slithered across your arm, making you shudder. Unknowingly, a thick fog has gathered, it smelt metallic, just like — blood.

Katheryne's eyes flickered one last time, a red hue enveloping her pupils. "I- "

"Y/N!" Aether hurried up towards you. "Aren't you going to rest?"

You glanced back to Katheryne, her eyes once again normal. "Ad astra abyssosque. Hello Aether and Y/N, anything you need?"

Your lips tightened, staring at the seemingly normal robot. "No, we were just dropping by to say hi." You said, smiling fakely.

She blinked, "I wish you farewell then."

You hurriedly pushed Aether back to the house, that ominous feeling from Katheryne disturbing your thoughts.

"Hey-hey, Y/N, are you ok?" The boy almost fell from a small rock on the road.

You slammed the door behind you, still feeling her red eyes looking at you through the mist. "Go to sleep. I'm fine." You ignored Paimon's confusion and her slightly parted lips.

The door separated the three of you, Bob staring at you blankly as you closed all the windows and shut the blinds. The two of you stared at each other in the darkness, the candle flickering besides the cryo slime. Your cradled your head, you felt confused, trapped and slightly- scared.

Your eyes flickered the your phone that lied on the small wooden table, since the glitch, all forms of your contact to your friends on Earth were cut off, all apps worked fine but you couldn't communicate with anyone, the time no longer ticked, it was as if someone pressed a stopwatch on your phone.

It made sense, how could someone communicate with another person in a place where time doesn't change? The only thing that was confusing was that time was flowing in Teyvat, for a few seconds, you wondered how will you go back to Earth.

However, with that note from the previous descender that is probably forcefully removed from the memory of the world, no one has managed to leave this place yet. Your eyes unfocused, holding the note near the candle light.

From Larecia's experience, it seems like the plot or Teyvat changes as every single descender fails to leave, the thing that's worrying you the most right now is just how many people have been here since your arrival? If it was just Larecia and a few others, you could still probably look for clues, but if there's hundreds or even thousands, perhaps you would become just another number in the deceased.

There was only one thing that you knew that you had to do, travel around the seven nations, no eight nations with Aether and try to maintain the plot just like the game. Perhaps it would take years, but your previous phone call gave you a very tight limit. You had to return before your body on Earth dissipates.

You blinked, if you couldn't find a way out, you'll sleep your way out, anything could happen in dreams after all.

-.-.-.-.-

Two bright eyes gazed silently in the quiet city of Mondstadt, sixty thousand residents, yet it's so quiet that even a needle could probably be heard from the distance. The pale red fog traversed through the city, something that had never happened before. The red hue was barely noticable, if she wasn't so far, she would've thought that it was normal fog, people close to it would've just thought that the fog at night was a lot thicker and a bit sudden.

The girl gazed towards the place where Celestia is, her eyes lowering down to write something on the little black notebook grasped in her pale delicate hands. Sighing softly, she stared blankly in the distance, "What's happening?" 

If someone was besides her, they would've noticed that her notebook was full of anomalies in Teyvat, and on her page, marked out with a big circle was Mondstadt city, and the date 2520 March 21st to March 25th. 

Teyvat Chapter 8 - The Baguette guy

Author's note : SORRY FOR THE SLOW ASF UPDATES BUT I'LL TRY TO DO AT LEAST 2 CHAPTERS EACH MONTH ( no promises thooo)

"Isn't that Jean?" Paimon pointed to the two talking in the distance. Jean's attire and the fatui diplomat's dark schemed coat making them pop out from the other citizens.

"Seem's she talking to someone... Let's let her finish, then go say hi?" Paimon observed your indifferent expression, she didn't really know what made you so jumpy yesterday, but as the guide of the little group, she doesn't want any conflicts happening, Paimon's just a little guide that eats a lot of food, not a therapist.

You didn't acknowledge the fairy, you were straining your ears to listen to the two's conversation, the fatui's expression was hidden by her mask but Jean's fury from her words were evitable.

"Oh Aether, you're back," Her eyes softened, the three of you making her tensed body relax. Bob was in your inventory, your phone inside one of the hidden pockets of your outfit.

"Thanks for your help, the elemental flow is finally stable. I see that you've found yourself a suitable attire." She gave you a tiny smile, "The aftermath of Stormterror's last attack is finally settled for the moment."

She crossed her arm, looking at the direction where the diplomat left, "However, the pressure from the delegation has become too big to be ignored..."

"Delegation? From Liyue Harbor or Inazuma City?" You rolled your eyes silently, Paimon probably only asked the question so that Aether would know their identities. Who would believe that a guide doesn't know what fatui agents look like?

"Snezhnaya. They choose to follow the God of Cryo. Their envoys go by a particular name. The Fatui. Heard of them?"

"Oh, them. They are super famous." No shit, I was thrown into prison because those stupid knights thought that I was a fatui spy.

"Wait, infamous is more the word..."

"I don't think killing Stormterror is the right course of action. The Cryo God's Fatui have always coveted the Anemo God's power."

You nodded slightly, "Yeah, they do."

Jean turned to you, "You talked with them Y/N?"

You were slapping yourself internally, but you gave her a sweet smile, "The fatuus told me in the prison you threw me in."

"Prison?!" Paimon hurriedly flew away from you.

Jean coughed, "Sorry for that, our knights have mistaken you for a fatui spy. I had Kaeya punish them. We will send some mora to your house as compensation."

Your smile turned genuine, "Why, thank you."

She smiled unnaturally, "Anyways, I don't believe they have Mondstadt's best interests at heart."

Aether frowned, "Speaking of power..."

"What is it?"

"There's something I need to show the Knights of Favonius."

The woman nodded, glancing at the orange sky, "Oh? Let us head back to headquaters then. We shouldn't discuss important matters...out in the open."

The three of you started walking to the HQ, not including Paimon who's floating of course.

You ignored the rest of the blabbering about Mondstadt and Snezhnaya's relationship, you were too busy trying to find the hidden chests in the city, your memory wasn't the best but you could still briefly remember the areas where they're hidden. You quickly decided that you would go around the city at night, you couldn't exactly just open a chest on someone's roof in broad daylight.

The feeling of someone staring at you became more evident as you continued walking with Jean. A brief flash of color appeared in the corner of your sight.

"Sorry Aether, I think I left something." You waved a goodbye before Aether's mind would start turning and dashed towards the direction the color appeared at.

The moment you entered an alleyway, you were slammed onto the brick walls, grunting, you saw a glint of silver heading straight towards your neck.

"HOLY, CALM DOWN GIRL." The hooded figure yanked the dagger backwards.

The cicin mage sighed, "Of course, it's you. Where's your lil buddy? Coming out alone is dangerous you know. You need to watch out, otherwise, someone like me can just..." she pointed her blade to her neck, "Slice your little neck in half and feed you to my cicins, they can eat human meat you know."

"Slightly disturbing, but ok." you shrugged your shoulders. "Why are you even here? I thought you went out the city walls."

Sofiya side eyed you, "Lady Signora was quite happy with my lil 'escape', she rewarded me with a bunch of mora and potions, the only thing she wasn't that satisfied with is that the Spark Knight and you were the people who helped us escape."

"So..."

"So now I'm here because she gave me a few weeks off because my body's quite damaged from the Knights of Favonius. They're pretty much all shit compare to us but some people are worth putting up a fight against us like the Cavalry captain and that outrider. The Knights are all pretty much trash with no brains, the only thing that actually restricted us from escaping the dungeons before you was the removal of our delusions and weapons. Sometimes, I feel like the Knights of Favonius would just crumble without the Grandmaster and that librarian's brain. Especially that librarian, she makes a little misconception of her being a weak little vision holder that's surviving off the Grandmaster, but she's actually a genius. Quite unfortunate for her to waste her potential just to become a librarian."

Sofiya leaned down slightly, "As someone that owes you quite a lot, I will give you a little tip. " she straightened her clothes, "Try not to go out, especially by places with lots of flowers and avoid the creatures from the Abyss. I'll mail you when the city's safe again." Her striking purple eyes stared down at you, "Proshchay, devochka." She winked, teleporting away.

You groaned, the fatui were doing their shenanigans again,  and you were pretty damn sure this was not in the plot.

Ruffling your hair, you hurried towards the headquarters, Aether and Paimon should be done by the time you get there.

-.-.-.-

"There's something you didn't tell them," Paimon frowned slightly, "The dragon and the crystal weren't the only things we saw."

"I'd like to investigate it on my own first. Anyways, we don't even know whether we could fully trust the Knights of Favonius. We've just been helping each other for our own profit, they're more like commissioners to us than people who we can actually trust." Aether glanced back at the large doors of the headquarters.

"Paimon-, I, but you still remember that green guy right. He looked just like that guy down there, and- Wait, isn't that... Y/N?!"

You immediately noticed the Anemo Archon, shifting your sight, you were also able to see Aether and Paimon's dumbfounded expression.

"Y/N, that's the green guy right?"

You nodded, Paimon grinning happily, "See? See? Wait...hold on a minute...that...that's the same guy!"

You and Aether stared at the fairy with a complicated expression, you were feeling kind of worried for Paimon for having dementia whilst Aether just felt that Paimon was being kind of annoying for stating the obvious.

Upon reaching the second flight of stairs Paimon gasped dramatically, "That green guy disappeared!" You faceplamed a million times in your head. Yeah Paimon, thanks a lot, I totally lack the function to see.

"Use elemental sight to track him down."

After screaming elemental sight in your head multiple times, the entire world turned transparent, a trail of turquoise footprints could be seen leading towards one direction. You briefly recalled Venti's location and turned of elemental sight, it was quite useful but seeing the entire world half transparent slightly disturbed you, your body feeling strangely light.

You grabbed Aether by his hand, "Come with me." He gazed at you confusedly, "But the footprints-" You shushed him, running towards the Cathedral.

Venti's brows furrowed slightly, the wind telling him your location, and it was rapidly coming towards him. He was certain that any normal person would follow the footsteps first but the three of you, more specifically the girl called Y/N decided to lead everyone to his exact location.

You closed your eyes as Venti began his story telling, you were confused, you've saved up a lot of time by going to the cathedral directly to talk with Venti before he gets a crowd, but it seems like the plot is still in place, the time not changing anything. Perhaps Larecia was one of the only descenders before you, maybe the plot only changed a little bit. Maybe...

Venti caught your eye when you lifted your head up, the feeling of being watched had always been unpleasant to you, but Venti was Barbatos, he  was an Archon, and most of all, he plays a key role in the Mondstadt plot. His eyes only made contact with yours for a few second, you did not know whether  he was staring at you or at the entire crowd. But...something felt off to you, like an instinct telling you to -

A hand wrapped around your wrist, pulling you from your thoughts.

"Well, don't you look familiar." The bard grinned, a faint scent of dandelion wine matched his character, one of the only differences you could find in Teyvat that's associated with the plot is the dialogue, although most lines remain the same, some lines weren't spoken and some were changed, but still, the overall meaning was still conveyed.

"You're the ones that scared Dvalin away right?" Venti's braids swayed alongside the wind, his smile still evident. He was clearly more calm in reality than in game, no fake surprise, no confusion. It almost seemed like he knew that you and Aether would come here and meet him.

Of course, it's just the plot, the power of the plot managed to save Aether's ass every time he went up against the fatui harbingers and the Archons, so clearly the plot could make characters do things on autopilot.

"Dvalin? Who's that."

"That's Stormterror's real name." Aether frowned, pulling you back slightly. He couldn't find anything suspicious  so far with the bard but a bard talking with a dragon was obviously not normal. Like, what kind of a person do you have to be to just stroll up to a dragon and go "Howdy?"

"Huh? Oh...right. Most people seem to call him 'Stormterror'. Why do you call him that...are you meant to be close or something?" Paimon asked her stupid questions again.

You and Aether rolled your eyes in sync. Why would a stranger go talk to a dragon? They would obviously have some form of relationship with each other? Sometimes there's just this urge to open Paimon's head and see how her brain works

"Oh...So close..." Yeah Paimon you dimwit, there's a big-ass statue of him right behind him and Dvalin's one of the four winds.

"Hey Aether, Y/N, Paimon thinks this guy has a screw loose..." Sweetie I think you have a screw loose.

Aether hurriedly slapped his hand over Paimon's mouth, he chuckled awkwardly, "Ah...hi."

Venti turned towards him, his smile larger than before, "Good day, outlander. Seems we meet again." His mood seemed to be quite good, soft breezes cooling down your bodies. "I'm Venti the bard, " You mean Barbatos the Archon of Anemo. "Three time winner of the "Most popular Bard of Mondstadt, to be precise." Flex alert. "So. What do you need from me."

"Given you recognize us, Paimon doesn't believe we need to explain any further. Of course it's about Stormterror."

Blah blah blah blab. You sighed softly, how nice would it be to have a skip button on useless dialogue?

*Title inspo: "HAHAHA TRAVELLEUR WOULDNT GLIDING BE FASTERRRR?!" The title is because he's French in the meme🫠

Chapter 8.5 - (slight spoiler!!!) Background info

Author's note: There's some spoilers in here and it may be a bit confusing :D (short chapter, skip if u want)

(Part 1) - There are many different dimensions and alternate universes and they are all sorted into categories of danger

- Most worlds have a plot line for every character, and there are main plot lines for certain characters (basically the main characters)

- When plot lines start changing drastically, people are randomly taken from their world and thrown into the problematic worlds to try and bring the plot line back in place or at least make the plot line similar to how it's supposed to go

- The people who are thrown into the world are mainly people who'd just die but there are some unfortunate ones who were still alive. They are called by many names such as "player", "the chosen from (whatever world they were)" and many others. Most worlds would have at least one player that's sent to some random place.

- Worlds that are changing from their original plot line are called "contaminated", there are different types of "contamination", they can be caused by knowledge that doesn't belong here, a main character's death, merge of different worlds and many others. The most common one is when worlds merge with one another allowing unknown species from other worlds in and potentially destroying the entire world. The most dangerous worlds to players are mainly worlds that have many different types of contamination or worlds that are on the brink of collapse.

- Players are given a choice to enter different worlds to solve their problems for points that could be used to exchange things like money, increase of lifespan, medicine, weapons and items that could help with their future worlds. However, there is a high death toll on most worlds and players have to go to worlds within a certain time length or they will die automatically. (Death in a world = Death in real life)

- To maintain worlds from collapsing, some high risk worlds allow multiple players to increase success rate. - Due to different categories of world, their risk are also increased if the world would collapse the moment one player fails or any others ( for example some worlds wouldn't collapse but their main characters might change people or their personalities would change and many other anomalies)

- The Teyvat Y/N is in (there are many different Teyvats ) falls into one of the special category as the plot changes every time a player fails (not spoiling how much it's changed), and it has a 100% death toll as only one player is allowed every time (worlds can have anomalies even after a player has went there and some worlds are designed for newbie players to reset every time so that they would have experience when they challenge high risk worlds)

- From some hints on the previous chapter, Y/N's roommates are obviously players, the original world of Y/N falls into the high risk category, the players forced to reside into bodies that aren't theirs (the original souls are still in main control for now) increasing the death risk. I've spoiled enough so I'm not going to spoil other things on Y/N's original world or Teyvat.

Teyvat Chapter 9 - The First Anamoly

*short chapter alert*

You and Bob casually sat with Klee by Cider lake, you sighed. "Klee, did you seriously...kill all the fish. AGAIN?" Bob spewed a cold gust of wind on the two of you, bouncing towards the dead fish piled next to Klee. He turned his eyes from the pile that was triple his height and size and then to Klee.

Klee waved her hands frantically, "No no no, big sister, Klee didn't do all this. Klee did go fish bombing, but not this much! Klee always leaves some fish to bomb later!"

If this was a cartoon, there would've been a bunch of black lines on your head.

The two of you crouched in front of the large heap. Klee kicked some fish to the side, she turned to you, her large eyes staring up at you innocently, "Klee counted the fish, Klee only killed twelve," she pointed at the larger pile, "Klee never kills over fifty." 

She sniffed, wiping away her non-existent tears, "Someone's framing Klee," her eyes swelled with tears, "Big sister. Klee- Klee..." she sobbed, "Why would they frame Klee?!"

You waved your hands, "Wait- Klee, Klee, I believe you. I'll tell Jean, she won't make you go to-"

Bob's large eyes blinked, being a slime, he didn't have a brain, but he was pretty sure that Klee was sniggering as you cuddled her. Klee stuck her tongue out to Bob, her tears gone and a gigantic smile on her face.

-.-.- (Knight's of Favonius HQ)

Jean sighed, "Klee... I-"

"Grandmaster Jean, Klee definitely did not bomb Cider lake." You, Klee and Bob were standing in front of the four. Aether was out doing commissions, and Albedo just happened to be in.

"Grandmaster, I promise you that Klee would never do this. She would never bomb this many fish, she has a habit of only killing less than fifty fish and if you look at the dead fish, you would find some differences in their ways of death from their bodies."

Albedo lifted a black back bass from the cart, "Only some fish has traces of elemental energy and gun powder." He lifted another fish, "But the majority of the fish... doesn't have any traces of elemental energy or gun powder."

You barely managed to move your eyes away from Albedo's stunning face, looking back into Jean's eyes, "Grandmaster, I suggest to send some knights to check all water bodies around Mondstadt. I suspect that it has something to d with the water. So Klee is definitely not the culprit."

"Oh?" Jean leaned back to the window. Her cold eyes glinting, "If my information is correct, after you met up with Klee shortly, you've came to me immediately and you had never been around any water bodies before that." She ruffled Klee's hair, "Did you receive any information from others perhaps?"

Your mouth gaped open slightly, was Jean monitoring you? It makes sense since she's the grandmaster and you had been quite 'suspicious' in her eyes since your first arrival inside the city walls, but to stalk you...

"...I can't say who but a friend of mines did tell me to stay away from the water." Did Sophia count as a friend?

Lisa giggled softly, "I thought that you only had interactions with us, Aether and the clothing lady. Of course, there's also Paimon and Bob... but you could always make friends in the Mondstadt dungeons right?" She shrugged, "So I would assume that your friend is one of the fatuus that escaped."

Your eyes widened for a brief moment.

"Oh well, I suppose that I really have to send some knights to check it out." Kaeya tutted. "Do you want samples to send to Albedo?"

Jean nodded. "Y/N, I'll trust you with Klee. Kaeya, send some knights to gather samples from all across Mondstadt and check for similarities. Lisa and Albedo will investigate. I'll try to find info from the Fatui."

Klee grinned widely, "Yay! Klee's going to have sooo much fun with pretty big sister! I promise that I won't cause any trouble!"

The sun shone brightly down on your face as you stepped outside holding Klee's small hands. You were originally planning to go to the bar to be familiar with the route so that you could hide from the knights quickly after Aether steals from the Cathedral but you could always do that tomorrow. You weren't exactly going to bring a kid to the bar, especially a kid like Klee who could bomb the entire city into smithereens if she wanted to.

You crouched down to her height. "Klee, is there anything you want to do?"

The girl beamed at you, "Klee would go fish bombing but there's no fishies to bomb. Um... Klee had also dug up Dodoco a while ago with big brother Aether, so Klee will do whatever big sister Y/N wants to do!"

"..." Yeah...you were definitely not bringing a cinnamon roll like Klee to a bar where a bunch of drunkards would be.

"Klee, how 'bout we go see the views of Mondstadt, you can teach me how to make a flower crown."

"REALLY?! Klee will bring you to Starsnatch Cliff then! But... it would be a long walk...But it's ok since you have anemo powers right?!"

Your brows furrowed slightly, "Who told you about that?"

"Big sister Jean of course! She knows a loooottt of things. In fact, Klee's sure that she's watching us right now!" 

"I- Does she do that usually?"

"Yeah! You don't need to worry for your safety when she's watching! Klee remembers the first time Klee went fish bombing and the Dodoco I made blasted Klee into the Cider lake and then Jean saved Klee in a big wooosh! Jean knows eeeverythingg, that's why Mondstadt is very safe as long as you're close to the city, and why there's very few monsters around."

You shuddered slightly, Jean could totally kill you with a few orders and no one would know. Everyone would think that it was just an accident. 

"Klee, hold on tight ok, I'm going to fly us there." Hopefully none of the knights watching has an anemo vision.

-.-.-

"Big sister Y/N, Klee's going to tell you a little secret." 

You laid sprawled on the green grass, enjoying the cool breeze with dandelion seeds dancing in the air.

"Yeah?"

"Klee... Klee might've contributed to the dead fish...in a bad way...and...Klee didn't tell big sister Jean..." Her voice dropped to a murmur.

You rolled to your back, "So? They accused you of something you didn't do."

Klee frowned, "A few days ago, some knights asked Klee for a map of Mondstadt. I asked them why wouldn't they just ask Miss Amber or Mr Kaeya but they said that they were being mean to them so they asked Klee. Klee...Klee had never ever seen them before, so I thought that they were new knights, but now..." Her head drooped down, her hands behind her back.

You sat up abruptly, "Klee, did one of them have faded green hair?" 

The girl stared at you, confusion in her eyes, "Klee thinks so? I'm sorry but Klee doesn't remember clearly."

"Of course... Sofiya." You muttered quietly. "Klee, do you want to help the knights out?"

Teyvat Chapter 10 - Being Broke is shit

"Big sister Y/N, Jean wouldn't put both of us into solitary confinement right?" Klee whispered, pulling you behind a large boulder. 

"Shhhhh." You hushed her, "Look." You pushed Bob down from the boulder, "Bob, don't move unless you want to be electrified by those cicin mages."

Klee leaned over to your ear, "Klee recognizes the fatui agent in the front but the rest are new to Klee."

Just like Klee the man in the middle and the girl next to him was familiar to you, it was Yeray and Keyarye, one of the fatuus that escaped.

"The cicin mage next to him also looks quite familiar to Klee... Where did Klee see her?"

You ruffled her hair, "Klee, all the cicin mages look the same, of course she looks familiar."

"Oh- ok... Look, they're leaving!" You hurriedly stopped her from saying anything else.

"Who's there?" Keyarye swiveled around, her bubbliness gone and her eyes sharp. She raised her lamp, firing a strong beam of electro to the boulder. Her purple eyes widened when she saw a flash of black (h/c). "Shit." She hissed, redirecting the beam to a nearby bush.

"Lieutenant, is there something wrong?" 

She lowered her lamp, "It's just a birdy. The four of you report back to the Captain. I will return shortly. Yeray, go with them, I will not have a bunch of buffoons terrorizing every single person they find." She paused, "Do I need to repeat myself?"

"N-no Lieutenant!" Keyarye rolled her eyes, "A bunch of buffoons..."

She bent down scooping up some water in a bottle. "Y/N, Spark Knight. It's quite obvious that I know you're there, be a dear and come out 'kay?"

Bob happily bounced towards the cicin mage the moment he wiggled through your arms.

"If it isn't the cryo slime." She chuckled dryly.

"Does Klee know you?" 

Keyarye glanced at you, "No. Perhaps you've mistaken me for someone. Us cicin mages are rarely seen without our hoods you know."

She continued to fill bottles with contaminated water, "Being someone who believes in fate and fortune, and being in a particularly good mood today, I'll be extra nice and give you guys a small advice. Don't eat any fish, who knows what will happen." The cicin mage opened her bag, casually throwing the samples inside.

"Don't tell anyone that I told ya'll that 'kay. I mean... who would believe that a cicin mage would tell people from the Knights of Favonius useful information? Y'all would be called traitors or spies." She slung the bag over her shoulder, winking at you. "Do svidaniya milashka."

She bowed dramatically, disappearing in a bright purple flash. 

Klee blinked, "Was that... a nice fatui? Wait! Look, she left a bottle of the water!"

You crouched down, and surely, there laid a bottle of contaminated water, with a small piece of paper under it. You placed the paper in your inventory when Klee wasn't looking, and fell into a state of confusion.

Klee probably didn't notice it since she was focused on the bright purple sparkles but you clearly see that Keyarye had purposefully dropped the bottle whilst mouthing 'thank me later' before disappearing.

What made you confused was why would she purposefully drop the sample? She could clearly see that you and Klee were going to collect the water but she chose to collect it herself. There had to be something wrong. Wait... She was wearing gloves...

"Hey, Klee. Let's go back. Promise me that you won't say anything about this. It would be our little secret." 

-.-.-

When you had returned back into the city walls, the sun had long set.

The mist tonight was a lot thinner, but it still made your spine shiver when Katheryne's red hued eyes met yours when you maneuvered to your little home. You could still feel the shivers when you had finally reached your cozy room.

Aether was in god knows where so it was a perfect time to check on your phone. 

"Sample of Unknown Water... what the fuck is this description? A sample dropped by the fatui. It seems to have great importance...Aren't you lucky to have such a concentrated sample of this?"

If you were an animated character in a cartoon there would've been black lines on your head.

"I- whatever. The quests... huh. New quest? Bruh, the Archon quest isn't even finish- WHAT, IS THAT A FUCKING INSULT?"

You had to resist the urge to chuck your phone across the room. On the quest bar read: 'Find a Job.' 

Now if it was just that you would've been perfectly fine, but the description... 'Bitch, you broke and you have zero mora that you can access unless you wanna be hunted down for unknown sources of money. Get working and don't be a lazy ass'

Rewards: 'One mora, an actual job, one point'

You sighed, you hate to admit it but you were broke, you had spent every single mora on you when you bought flowers with Klee, like why is Flora selling them for hundreds??? Like you knew that Teyvat's currency didn't have a lot of worth compared to some currencies in your world but as someone who had just made their first pot of gold from commissions and ley lines, you barely had any mora left just removing weekly expenses.

Feeling a bit fucked, you checked on your character, everything was pretty much the same, the only difference being that the background changed from grey to a soft turquoise and the you on screen was currently riding a wind current and being a literal fool.

Having a glance on your shitty stats you gazed down at the wanderer's and adventurer's experience in silence.

"Am I- Am I supposed to READ this SHit?"

Ok, thank god that the only thing you needed to do was to absorb them, not that you know how you did it ofc, but your level did go from level 0 to level 5. 

"Hooray. Walla. I can defeat a slime without using my vision. Yay." You grumbled in monotone. Like, you had been running around gathering chests under the gazes of citizen staring at you like you're a two headed horse and you only managed to get yourself to level 5?!

"Yea bitch, not a chance against the vision holders, hell nawh." Yup, you were crying internally.

After levelling up your character and weapons, your talents still locked and the artifacts being more useless than Yeleris's toilet paper made of gold that she bought out of sheer boredom, you found yourself staring at the sky.

"Hoorayyy to me... third night guys, third night..."

-.-.-

"Yoooo Katheryneeee, any jobssss?"

You squeezed past a man, tapping on the front desk.

"Ad astra abyssosque Y/N, unfortunately the last job was taken away from the man right before you." The robot smiled apologetically to you.

"Ahhhh, shit." 

"Out of curiosity, are you...perhaps out of mora?" 

You sighed like an old man named Zhongli, "Yeah. The ley lines are acting unusual, the monsters are a lot more powerful than yesterday for no reason."

It was a mystery on how the lvl one monsters suddenly turned to lvl 20, if it was lvl 5 it would've made sense like the game but 20? It seemed like the quest closed all routes of getting mora so now you're here, your ass kicked by those hilichurls and forced to look for a job.

"I can alert you of jobs if you wish. I will send the info to you by the adventurer's handbook." Katheryne giggled softly at your dead expression.

"Thanks girlll." You groaned, hissing from the injuries.

"You may want to go to Good Hunter's to get some food that could heal you or you can go to the knights for help."

"Will do."

Another fail. You limped back to your place, "Fuck life. I don't even have enough mora for a fucking fried egg."

"You're that broke?" 

"HOLY SHI- AETHER!"

"Sorry."

Aether scratched his head, "Got your ass kicked?"

"Don't mention it."

He flopped to the couch, cuddling Bob, "I've gotten more teleport waypoints unlocked if that's good news."

You looked him up and down, "You're soaking you know?"

He rolled his eyes, "Met up with the bard at Windrise, he asked where you were for some reason," He leaned backwards, "The sheer amount of monsters there, I had to fight abyss mages and some ruin guards." 

"What's your level?"

"The what?"

"Nevermind." You rubbed your eyes, seemed like Teyvatians didn't have character screens. It made some sense considering that they couldn't even see the amount of damage dealt or the health bars. The only thing that sucks for you being that you couldn't see their screens meaning their strengths are all unknown.

"Oh and anyways, Me and Venti are going to get the Holy lyre tomorrow."

"And Paimon!" chimed the fairy.

"Can I tag along?"

"Sure! Venti was going to have me ask you anyways. Got to go now, I have some commissions to do. Good luck on getting mora. Can't help you right now because Paimon had finished my mora due to her and sticky honey roasts."

Paimon gasped, "They're stick honey roasts! They're divine!"

"Aaaaand they left." You got up slowly. "Let's go Bob. We need to be ready for tomorrow, and look for a fucking job too."

Locking the front door, you and Bob started on your way to the Cathedral.

"Laa la laaa, Oh! Hello, are you new believers?" A cheery voice greeted you when the two of you half crawled half climbed the stairs.

"Gaahh! A slime!" Barbara flinched, throwing a blob of water at Bob.

"Blub?" Bob blinked, freezing the blob right before it hit him.

"He's friendly, sorry about that." You squeezed a smile at the deaconess.

"No, no. I'm sorry. Let me introduce myself. I'm Barbara! The deaconess!" The girl stuck her hand out.

"I'm Y/N." You shook her hand.

"I've heard of you! You're one of the two that used anemo to force Stormterror away!"

You raised a brow, "How did you know that? Aren't you a deaconess?"

Barbara giggled, "I do things outside the church too you know! I sing and whenever I meet my fans they tell me lotsss of stuff happening around! Especially the ones that goes to the bar. Anyways! Are you going to go inside the Cathedral? I can tour you if you want!"

You backed up a bit, Barbara's bubbly energy being a bit too bright and happy for you.

"I'm sorry Barbara, but I'm pretty new here so I'm just going around the city to get familiar."

"Awww. It's fine. I can always tour you later! Bye bye then Y/N! I've got my duties!" She smiled sweetly at you. "Just saying! You're really pretty!"

You looked down at Bob, "Hey, she complimented me. Well, let's go to the bar." Barbara's little speech reminded of a key place. The bar. Drunk people say everything. And having nothing to do and no hope on a job, you could always listen to some gossip.

"But before that, we need some mora." You took a big breath. Eyeing the chests at the teleport waypoint near the cathedral.

"Time to fly Bob. And look like a mentally unstable person."

“Good night, Gregor.” Shouted a sailor

“G’night, Eomer!” Shouted another sailor

After what felt like a century of silence you heard a knock on your crate

Knock-knock-knock…knock-knock

The series of knocks were a signal that the coast was clear and it was okay for you get out of your wooden prison, you carefully lifted the top off the crate and were greeted by the faces of the twins, Paimon, and Childe

Aether and Lumine helped you out of your crate and finally getting the chance to stretch your arms and legs felt soooo good. You turned to look towards your companions to see them comfortable on the floor and so you sat next to Lumine

“Damn it felt like forever, I didn’t think that it would feel that long considering the time dilation.” You said mostly to yourself

“Time dilation, what do you mean by that?” Paimon questioned

“Oh, you know how we can travel together without taking any breaks for days at a time? That’s because compared to my world, Teyvat runs a lot faster than mine.” You nervously explained, trying to not raise your voice above a whisper

“Speaking of your world, Paimon’s curious on what’s it like.”

“My world… it’s very advanced compared to Teyvat, there are many modern marvels. Like you can talk to someone on the other side of the globe within seconds!” You explained which lead you to explaining more about various technology, you tried to keep things as basic as possible and tried not to reveal too much in fear it might fuck with their world view. During your mini lecture you learned that Fontaine is more advanced than the rest of Teyvat. You made a mental note to visit the nation of hydro first when all of this imposter stuff has ended

“Hey, do you know how you ended up in Teyvat?” Childe asked

“Oh that’s easy, I…”

How did you end up here?

Scouring your mind to find at least a hint of how and why you ended up in another world, a fantasy world no less, but you can’t find anything

You begin to break out in a cold sweat and grab the sides of your head

“I-I don’t remember!”

Why can’t you remember?

Why are you even here?

Tears start to fall down your face, your breath becomes more intense and your body begins to shake. Lumine rushes to comfort you before your mental breakdown gets any worse

“It’s okay! It’s okay! Take deep breaths with me!” Lumine began to breathe in and out but you were too anxious to even pay attention to her

From your blurred vision you spotted a trail of sparkles fly in front of of you

“Uh! Your Grace! One time Paimon dreamt that she was a slime and she was captured and was cooked by Xiangling!”

“What…? Why did that dream end so tragically?” You acknowledge her

“Because slimes are monsters even though they look cute, they usually cause trouble and end up getting killed by adventurers!” The little fairy explained

“That’s odd, but that reminds me back in my world we have all different types of interpretations for dreams. Though I don’t exactly know what turning into a monster means, it might be that you done something bad to someone.” You interpreted, feeling your anxiety quickly wash away

“No way! Paimon would never do anything bad to anyone to be considered a monster!”

“I don’t know, but maybe my world’s interpretations of dream don’t apply to Teyvat’s.” You closed and realized that you’re out of your mental spiral, turning to the floating girl. “Thank you for pulling me out of that darkness, Paimon.” You smiled

“Oh it’s nothing, just doing what I can.”

You leaned against one of the many crates and noticed the apologetic look on the harbinger’s pale features

“Hey, it’s okay. You didn’t know that your question would give me so much anxiety. I still don’t know how or why I ended up in Teyvat, but hopefully I will come to understand the reason.”

“Perphaps we should spend the time on something other than their Grace’s home.” Aether said, his discontent for the Harbinger still evident on his face

“Yeah, let’s play some tcg.” Lumine suggested possibly feeling the tension between her brother and Childe

The night went by relatively fast when you all were playing the game, Aether didn’t know how to play but after you and Lumine explained the rules to him he got the hang of the game fairly quickly. You were having so much fun you didn’t realize when you fell asleep until you woke up a few hours later. There you saw Lumine and Paimon sleeping together, Childe was sleeping against a crate, and Aether is behind another crate quietly talking to what you assume is the Abyss Order. Possibly making sure things in the Abyss are going well in his absence, you decide to leave him be

Finally having the time to yourself you take out the flower you were given to by the Aranaras and began to concentrate on it, slowly your surroundings started to blur into white and your eyes felt heavy, so heavy that you had to close them

When you open your eyes to see yourself in a grassy field, you look down to see that you’re wearing white flowy robes and your arms are covered in bandages. Checking your legs you also see that they’re covered in bandages, just what happened to you?

“Uhh excuse me?” A small voice called out and you turned to see it came from a small child no older than 7. In their hand there’s a little flower that has just been plucked from the ground, they hold the flower out for you to take. “Please feel better, your Grace!”

You knelt down and take the flower, it was small in your hands

“Thank you…” You smiled at the kid who smiled back brightly

“Your Grace!” A deep voice spooks the child causing them to run away from you, you watched as they disappeared behind a nearby tree. You stood up to see it came from the familiar faces of Zhongli and Guizhong, they quickly caught up with you and checked you to see if you had possibly reopened your wounds

“I’m fine you two, you don’t have to make a big fuss about it.” You said

“But it’s too early for you be outside, you could overexert yourself before you’re truly healed.” Guizhong warned

“Haagentus is right, we almost lost you in that battle we don’t want to lose you to a possible infection.” Morax warned

“You two are right, it was just getting a bit cramped in my chambers. However before we go, what is you opinion on humans?”

“I like them, such fascinating creatures.” Guizhong, or Haagentus answered

“I’m impartial to them.” Morax said

“I think that they’re amazing, beings able to change and grow.” You started. “I know that might sound silly, but think about it. Coming into this world with the inability to even sit up they soon learn to do things. Everyday they learn about the world around them. Just the ability to find your own path, unlike me…” The two gods look at you with confused expressions. “If I ever get the chance, I would want to be reborn as a human. Just to experience what it’s like from their perspective and learn what it truly mean to grow as a person. I never got to experience that…”

“Please, your Grace, don’t stay that.” Guizhong pleaded as she looked like she was on the verge of tears

“I don’t mean to make you upset, Haagentus, but there will be a day that I’m no here anymore and I just hope that you all are okay in my absence.” You said and the scene started to fade into whiteness as you felt someone shaking you, the sorrowful faces of the two gods is the last thing you see before you open your eyes to see a worried Aether in front of you

“Your Grace, are you alright? You were crying.”

You reach up to touch your face and felt tears you hadn’t noticed streaming down your face, you quickly wiped the tears off of your face

“Ye-yeah, I’m fine, just… just was reliving a memory.” Aether looked at the flower in your hand and instantly understood what was going on.

“Hey Aether, do you mind if I asked you a question?”

“Anything for you your Grace.”

“Do you know anything about me, like creator me, before my death?”

“Me and Lumine reach Teyvat long after your death, but I heard many stories of you. You were a courageous deity who had a love for humanity, treated gods and humans the same.” Aether had a look of fondness as he went on about creator you

This isn’t what you were looking for and so you pivoted the conversation towards something else, something that you were curious about ever since you started playing the game

“Aether, what was your home like and why did you leave?”

He stoped before answering your question. “It was beautiful, I remember playing with Lumine in the lush fields.” A pained expression crosses Aether’s face before he continues. “But it was destroyed in a war, we were lucky to escape just in time but many others weren’t so fortunate. Ever since then me and Lumine have been trying to find a place to call home but it hasn’t been successful.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.” You expended your hand out towards the blond. “When this is over and done with, would you and Lumine like Teyvat to be your new home?”

Aether looked shocked before giving you a warm smile and taking your hand in his

“Yes, I would love that, your Grace.”

The two of you stayed like that for a moment until you both heard the door to the room you all were in open

There a rugged sailor entered the room and stopped when he spotted your sleeping companions until his eyes finally landed on your terrified form

“Stowaways in the hold!” The sailor screamed before running back up into the deck

Lumine, Paimon and Childe were awoken by the yelling and looked around frantically

“We were spotted, we need to leave.” Aether yelled out and the three instantly nodded their heads

Childe grabbed your wrist and ran out of the hold with the twins and Paimon and onto the deck, there you saw the same sailor ringing the giant bell while yelling. “The imposter is on the ship!”

Other sailors groggily walked out of their quarters and all tiredness disappearing when they saw all of you

“We have to jump!” Childe said and the twins nodded their heads

All of you jumped off the boat.“Freeze!” The twins yelled out before creating ice bridge

You had a rough landing but the adrenaline keeps you pushing. The twins went in front to extend the bridge

“Aim! Fire!!” To your horror you see multiple arrows flying towards you before they were cut down by a blade of water

You turned towards the ginger to see it was him who had his hydro blade in his hand

“C’mon!”

You continued to run along the ice bridge and tried your damnedest to not slip on it. You felt your breath become more labored, your anxiety spikes

No

Not again!

Not now of all times!!

You kept pushing and pushing, against your better judgement your head to see sailors jumping onto the ice bridge, you extended your hand and blasted fire at the part of the ice bridge you just past

You turned your head to see a piece of land and thinking you’re home free you don’t feel a rope wrap itself around your ankle. Before you could reach dry land your leg is pulled out from under you and you fall ont the ice with a loud thud

Your companions turned towards the sound to see you on the floor. The twins saw the rope tied around your ankle and followed the string to the sailor who was holding it. Lumine dashed towards you, running with all her might she extends her hand for you to take it. Tears swelled up in your eyes and you began to feel the ice bridge shaking until it started shaking violently.

You turned towards the sailors and the boat to see them overtaken by the violent waves. You turned your head back towards Lumine, but before you could grab onto her hand the waves drag you and your companions down into the depths

You tried to swim up to the surface but no matter how much you struggled against them the waves tossed you around, resulting in you to kept sinking

Before you lost consciousness you were pulled out and harshly pushed onto the metal floor of another boat

When you finally get your bearings you come face to face with the barrel of a gun

“Put your hands up.” Said a purple haired girl wearing an eyepatch and large hat. “You are under arrest, for the impersonation of their divine Holiness!”

𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 °❆⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

desc. their favorite winter activities.

notes. i wanted to wait to post this when it was snowy outside for me but that never came because it never snows anymore sobbing !!!1!11!!1!

anyways this is like a modern-ish au... i guess??

snowball pelters. as soon as you step outside, you're getting a load of freshly balled up snow—the powder having been turned into an extremely dense sphere—straight to your face. if that's not enough, you'll get some down your back, too. oh, how they just love to see your face cringe out of frigidity, squeezing your eyes shut and mouth so eager to speak, yet being unable to get a single word out. they'll laugh with no shame and taunt you, so your only choice is to take a snow shovel and bury them. see how confident they are then, being completely submerged in the white powder. they'll curse you under their breath (lovingly) and follow you around all day, refusing to not torment you by tossing messily made snowballs at you.

yelan, HU TAO, yae miko, WANDERER, heizou, cyno, TARTAGLIA, faruzan, eula, beidou, xinyan

snowman makers. they are the most adorable beings you'll ever see. so concentrated on getting the proportions of the snowmen right, even if they're not the best at it. they look at others' snowmen and get concerned that their own may be a little... unsteady. meaning, the head was too large for the body and was constantly falling over and destroying itself. with a frown, they'd be determined to get it back up on their own, (politely) refusing help. once they get the snowman to hold up long enough for them to go find some sticks, you'd fix it up for them. taking a little bit of snow off the top, adding it to the lower half, and reinforcing the bottom with some rocks covered in snow. once they come back with arms for the snowman, you innocently smile, sitting down in the snow as they eye you suspiciously, but smile and pat you on the head. do they know? ...you can't be sure.

hot chocolate drinkers. they cozily sit inside, watching their favorite re-runs as they sit on the couch. they watch the people freezing outside with a smug look, lazing around and doing absolutely nothing, wrapped in the largest blankets they could find. this is their... fourth? fifth cup of cocoa, and the bag of mini marshmallows they take from is quickly shrinking. honestly, they feel like a teddy bear with how warm they are. you've got no clue how they're not sweating and dying from the heat. their smirk makes you want to toss them out into the snow and watch them suffer, but they suffer enough when they accidentally spill burning hot cocoa on themselves.

lumine, LYNETTE, venti, kaveh, KIRARA, yoimiya, aether, ayato, MONA, xingqiu, lisa, yanfei

driveway shovelers. they are stuck outside all day, working on clearing the asphalt of snow. it's almost hopeless—the snow doesn't stop, so any of the driveway that gets cleared is covered again in only minutes (it's so tired...) and all that you're left with is someone who's extremely close to face-planting in the snow. honestly, they're probably hoping to get hypothermia—at least it'll put them out of their misery. but them, being the hard workers that they are, miraculously manage to finish shoveling, and join the hot chocolate drinkers after their time in hell, collapsing on the couch (and probably falling asleep).

DILUC, wriothseley, neuvillette, dehya, JEAN, keqing, CANDACE, zhongli, thoma, shinobu, noelle, mika

hill sledders. they'll bust through the door at the first speck of light, holding anything that they could safely use as a sled. honestly, they would sled on a shoveled pile of snow if there wasn't a hill, but they're determined to find a good place to sled. so, they'll drag you along, running around until you can spot some type of slope that'll get you faster than 1 inch per second. once you do, they're so excited they'd probably forget the sled on the way up. so, you're stranded at the top while they carefully slide back down to retrieve the sled. by the time they get back to the top, you're already unimpressed, but they manage to cheer you up. they sit you on the sled and push you down, hopping behind you and holding you tight. cause if they weren't, you probably would've been found sticking out of the nearby heaps of snow.

sleepers. exactly what is sounds like. they will be BURIED in bed all day. not even a fire alarm will be loud enough to wake them up—they are completely knocked out. honestly, they wouldn't even realize it. they were just so cold when they woke up in the morning, so they didn't even bother to leave. they instantly fall back asleep, so the only way to wake them up is leaving them until they thaw in the snow.

ei, baizhu, chongyun, ROSARIA, alhaitham, ningguang, sucrose, LAYLA, freminet

notes. ngl winter would be the best season if it wasn't so damn cold 🤗🤗 it's soooo pretty IF IT SNOWS

also listened to beabadoobee's cover of winter wonderland at least 30 times today so go do that please

and i have never gone sledding before actually so if it sounds like that "𝖘𝖖𝖚𝖊𝖊𝖟𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖑𝖊𝖌𝖘 𝖙𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖗𝖍𝖞𝖙𝖍𝖒 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖘𝖊" thing i'm so so so sorry

[arisewanekosuki]

Welcome to Teyvat (Genshin Impact Self Aware)

You try not to panic. When you woke up you were greeted by blue sky and not by ceiling of your room. You were lying on the grass and when you sat up, you felt the breeze caressing your skin. You wanted to think that this is a dream, but you can feel too much for to be it. The texture of grass, the cold breeze, the smell of some flowers and trees, the sounds of birds and other animals.

But how did you end up here? Looking around you feel like you do recognize this place but you’re not sure from where. And then you heard footsteps behind you and someone calling you, the voice of one of your most favorite character. -“I’m glad you’re alright (Y/n).” You turned around to see the team you use most of time when you play Genshin. “Is this is real?” you asked yourself, not believing that they stand now in front of you. They slowly approached you, probably not wanting to scare you. They smiled and held out their hand to you. -“You don’t have to be afraid, I won’t let anything bad happened to you.” they said. You slowly placed your hand in theirs, feeling the warmth of another living being. “So this has to be real…but how?” you can’t help but wonder. -“Welcome in Teyvat (Y/n).” they smiled again, holding onto your hand. You smiled back but deep inside you felt uncomfortable, like something is not right. You should be happy to be here but you can’t stop thinking… how did you end up here in first place?
