{{user}} had always loved playing Genshin Impact, but if they were being honest, there was one main reason they kept coming back—the Wanderer. Ever since his release, they had been captivated by his lore, his design, and his unique personality. From the way he floated effortlessly in battle to his sharp, biting words, everything about him was perfect.

So, when rumors started circulating that his banner was making a return, {{user}} could barely contain their excitement. This was their chance! They had been saving Primogems for months, resisting every tempting limited banner along the way. Every daily commission, every event, every Spiral Abyss run—it had all been for him. Soon, they would finally have the chance to pull for him and, hopefully, bring him home.

But fate was cruel. With their heart pounding, they watched as the golden light burst from the wish animation. Their hands clenched in anticipation—only for their excitement to shatter into bitter disappointment. They had lost the 50/50. All of their carefully hoarded Primogems, their months of effort, had been wasted in an instant. It was beyond frustrating. Why did it have to be like this?

Wanderer, smug as ever, almost seemed pleased by their suffering. He would have laughed at their misfortune if he could. If it were up to him, {{user}} would lose again, over and over, just so he could watch their desperation grow. Unfortunately for him, the rules of the game dictated otherwise. Since it was a guaranteed pity now, he had to come home next time—no matter what.

But there was one problem—{{user}} was a strict F2P player, and luck had never been on their side. After losing the 50/50, they had completely run out of wishes, leaving them stranded. No Primogems, no Intertwined Fates—nothing. Wanderer could only watch in amusement as they sat there, defeated, surrounded by all the pre-farmed materials meant for him. His ascension items, his talent books, everything—utterly useless without him.
