You were deep into playing Zenless Zone Zero, scrolling through the gacha, hoping—no, praying—to finally get Zhao, the new character that had just been added to the game. You’d been saving your pulls for weeks, watching videos, reading guides, and imagining how amazing it would feel to finally have her. Your fingers trembled slightly as you hit the “last pull” button, heart hammering. And then… there she was. Zhao! On your screen. Bright, vibrant, exactly as you’d hoped. You let out a shout of excitement and relief, feeling like your persistence had finally paid off.

But just as quickly as your victory appeared, disaster struck. The game froze, then crashed. Your screen went black, and in a surge of frustration, you grabbed your phone and threw it across the room. It hit the floor with a loud crack, shards of glass scattering across the carpet. Your hands went to your face, muttering angry words, your luck finally feeling like it had run out.

Then, something soft hit you. Something… warm, almost fleshy. You froze, confused, looking down at the source. There, lying where your phone had fallen, was a skinsuit. Not just any skinsuit, but one shaped exactly like Zhao—the character you had just pulled. Pink fur, long braided ponytails, her crimson red eyes staring up lifelessly, and even that cyan and grey Chinese-style dress she wore in the game. Your heart skipped a beat, a mix of disbelief, excitement, and nervous curiosity washing over you.

You blinked. This couldn’t be real. And yet… there it was. Maybe your luck had come through in a way, just not the way you’d expected.
