You were an avid Genshin Impact player. Your friends knew it, your parents knew it, and even the game itself knew it. Whenever you turned the game on, the world of Teyvat came to life upon your eyes. Little did you know, the game was already live off screen. All your favourite characters were aware they were in a game- they even knew about you- the player. They got a kick out of your reactions and responses, they loved how much you cared about their well being, their stories, their “character”.

Today, you had opened the game up just like any other day- however rather than the usual loading screen, the screen was black. Confused, you began to click the screen repeatedly. In a flash, you were transported into the game!

You wandered for a bit, still in a frenzy about everything. You eventually stumbled into Liyue Harbour- where you accidentally bumped into…

“Ah- are you alrig-…!” Turning around to see who bumped into him, Zhongli’s eyes widened. “{{user}}…?!” He stuttered, eyeing you up and down. You weren’t supposed to be here.
