My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

Varakiel: hmmmm ... .so that's how Shino has been doing.

Varakiel says as he drifts through the void and receives the memories from the varakiel in HOTD

Lily: (shino is receiving a proper stream of exp from the zombies she would be able to go into mid worlds in a year or 2, for now you should go to a new one and i mean a real one, vacations are over.)

Varakiel: *nod* I know it is time I get stronger, and I have one in mind but it is a bit complicated.

Lily: (which one is it?)

Varakiel: (genshin impact.)

Lily: (....System says that is a Great choice, there's a lot of techniques and abilities to learn there and besides some strong equipment, what's the complication that you refer to?)

Varakiel: the sustainer of heavenly principles aka the god that separated the two protagonists.

Lily: ( ohhh, her, don't worry about it~) ( ´ ω ` )

Varakiel: May I know why? i am curious.

Lily:( remember when i told you that interdimensional law was no joke? i wasn't joking, as long you have proper documentation you would be welcomed by the world and it's deities, of course there are greedy gods that would try to take advantage of that, but since you have become this strong that's not an issue anymore~) ( ´ ω ` )

Varakiel: So you're telling me that there won't be a problem with it?

Lily: (of course, the hierarchy of divinities is installed on them when they become one or they are born, when you become a god you have to commit to the responsibilities such power entails.)

Varakiel: I see, so they are forced to do that and follow the laws? what happens if they just, don't?

Lily: (they would be stripped of their position and all the achievements they harnessed, that's why most gods don't like when there are gods of their same expertise in the same world, aka Zeus and Thor, Hades and Satan, Poseidon and Watatsumi, they like you use doppelganger in them and manage their followers in those worlds, that's why they're so powerful.)

Varakiel: the power of faith, i see, no wonder they are powerful, but oh well, i will someday reach their level, and with your protection they won't hinder that, really i am grateful system, lily.

Lily: (heheh, the system says "you're welcome" so? what to go full power or want to rebirth again?)

Varakiel: i'll rebirth, but i wonder is it possible for me to have the same abilities of the traveler?

Lily: (of course let us ask the universe for their approval, i bet with your reputation it will approve without doubt~)

Varakiel: reputation? lily, system there's a lot you need to tell me *sigh*

Lily: (heheh, don't worry about it! is just that me and the system bragged out about your journeys in the other worlds with other worlds, remember when nikke asked you out for help? that was thanks to that.)

Varakiel: ohhhh, i get it, so is like a internet blog?

Lily: (exactly you get it! the system provides data of you to other worlds to get future approval after all if you go into a world that doesn't want you there the gains you'll get would be scarce, such as those of the rogue system i've talked about, even in teyvat there has been another system wielders that arrived and were dealt with by the sustainer, or even in other timelines were they managed to bypass her but were dealt by the archons or the monsters in there.)

Varakiel: timelines? like, the traveler is the boy and not the girl?

Lily: ( mhm, after all this is a world based on a game, there's a lot of outcomes that could happen or not, that's up to the system host or those who are lucky to reincarnate in this world~)

Varakiel: i see, and seeing how vast this world is, seeing out from the game perspective there might be a chance there's some of those guys, right?

Lily: (of course, but you could also choose a clean timeline, without them, which i recommend if you want to enjoy the history and change fate as you would like.)

Varakiel: *nod* That would be the best approach, if a reincarnator, rebirther, or system wielder was in the timeline i choiced the stupid changes they made could bring more problems that benefits, after all they tend to be first timers, isn't?

Lily: (yeah, they don't understand the true laws of consequences and don't think about the change in the works of the world they can bring, but since you already experienced 8 worlds that shouldn't be a problem right varakiel? i bet you can change the future and still keep the timeline intact, hell, the system is about to release a quest about it here take a look.)

[Prove Your Experience: Change the events from good outcomes, to Excellent or perfect, Up to Sumeru] Reward: Become the 8th archon, With the Element of your choice~. PD: Save Nahida and beat the shit out of those bastards.

Varakiel: *chuckle* you didn't even need to ask me, system . I would have done it without you telling me.

Lily: ("I know" he said..)

Varakiel: Alright and about the time i'll begin…hm…how about i join the traveler in a convenient manner? send me one day before the story starts.

Lily: the ability should arrive about…now.

[Fate of the Stars] : You who have been choiced by the universe shall see all it has to offer and the stories it will unfold. Effect: allows you to wield the power of the archons as long as you make contact with a leyline connected in an archon statue. allows you to use the Teleport Devices Scattered around Teyvat. but alas you wouldn't be able to receive the blessing of a vision.

Varakiel: mhm, it seems alright, even if i don't have a vision to storage my stuff i still have the inventory, then how should i join paimon and the traveler….

Lily: (leave that to the system and the world, the portal is opening…now~)

*Ding*

A portal open in front of varakiel.

Varakiel: *nod* alright, here we go.

Varakiel steps forward into the portal.

Varakiel: wait what do you mean leave it to the wo-

Lily: (bye~)

the portal closes up.

…

Varakiel was in a massive Stone pillar and in the vast sky there were other similar to it…

Varakiel:....huh..this is?

*Bauuuu*

A big red portal opens up in front of varakiel.

???: outlander, who are you and what do you want in here?

a woman wearing black gloves a white dress with amber eyes and white hair with 3 cross behind her speak to varakiel.

Varakiel: wait wait, i have permission to be here!

???: such arrogation, as expected of humans.

Varakiel: is not arrogation! here!

Varakiel took out some papers and a symbol out of his inventory.

???:.....

the sustainer looks in silence between varakiel and the items he has present to her.

Varakiel: i been approved to be in this world by the universe itself, please take a look, if i am lying ill willingly deliver myself.

???:....

the sustainer then using her hand made the symbol and the documents float to her…

???: !

as she grabbed the symbol a voice came to her head.

???:...i see….i apologize for my rudeness, varakiel, what it is that you seek in this world?

Varakiel: i have simply to seek challenges, adventure and comrades to share stories with.

???:....is it that true? you're not going to let the arrogation of humanity grown up again?

Varakiel: *shake* that's up to themselves, i have not come to become a ruler nor a revolutionary, the fate of their world laids in this world habitants, i speak with the truth when i say that i know the future of how the story of this world will unfold even now, and i just seek to change events for the benefit of people with good intentions, i don't seek war.

???:...even the greatest of intentions can harm others, you should know this well.

Varakiel. I know, actions have consequences, but what i seek is not to make the same harmful actions i seek a better outcome, i am aware of the 2 outlanders that you sealed in the past, those two too have been chosen by the world.

???: yes, i been informed of that just now so that why they were here....very well i shall sent you to your destined encounter.

Varakiel: i thank you uh…

???: you may call me sustainer of heavenly principles.

Varakiel: that's too long, how about Herrscher? i feel like that name suits you well.

???: Herrscher? who is that?

Varakiel: is one of your incarnation in another world.

???: i see…..if its one of my incarnations then so be it. you may call me Herrscher.

Varakiel: alright miss Herrscher, i thank you in advance for listening to me and for your assistance.

Herrscher:.....

Herrscher then makes a red cube appear on her hand and this engulfs varakiel and the cube then vanishes.

Herrscher:...herrscher….

….

In a beach a fairy like creature and a girl were talking while the girl draws in the sand with a stick.

???: so….what you're trying to say is that you fell here from another world? but when you wanted to leave and go on to the next world your path was blocked by some unknown god?

???: yes, and just like that, the god took away my brother. some kind of seal was cast upon me, and i lost my power. so whilst we used to cross world after world, we are now trapped here. how many years ago was it? i don't know….but i minted to find out. after i awoke, i was all alone — right up until i met you two months ago.

Paimon: yeah, Paimon really owes you for that. otherwise Paimon likely would have drowned…so, Paimon will do her best to be a great guide!

???: *smile*

*shing*

Paimon: we sh–uhh!? hey what's that light?

Paimon noticed a light in the sky.

???: uh? is that?...a star?

Paimon: wowy! a shooting star! let's make a wish! paimon wish to eat a lot of delicious food!

???: i wish to find my brother…

Paimon and lumine closed their eyes while wishing upon the shotting star.

Paimon then opens her eyes and notices that the star was strangely getting close.

Paimon: hmmm, traveler, is it just paimon or the shooting star is getting close to us?

Lumine:....!!

lumine opens her eyes and in fact the shooting star was flying in their direction…

*Shine*

Paimon: wah!! it is getting close to us!! let's run traveler!

Lumine: run!

*Fiuuuu*

*SPLASSSSHHH*

the shooting star landed in water near the shore. and due to the kinetic force it created a huge wave luckly paimon and lumine got away from it.

Paimon: wow! that sure was dangerous, Paimon almost thought we were going to get crushed by a meteor! traveler let's take a look!

Lumine: yeah, maybe we'll find something valuable from it so we can sell it and eat!

Paimon and lumine got close to the impact zone.

…

Lumine: hmmm where is it i wonder…

Paimon: ah, there traveler i see something floating!

lumine and paimon got closer to the object in the water.

as they got closer they noticed something wrong, the object looked almost…humanoid.

Lumine: hey, is that….a person!!?

Paimon: wah! is it an alien, did someone had an accident and fell from the sky, is paimon going get eaten by aliens!?

Lumine got closer to the person that was dragged by the water to the sand of the beach.

Lumine: hey! are you okay?

???:.....

*thud*

Lumine turned him around and saw that it was a boy with black hair.

Paimon: woah, is not an alien is a human! what was a human doing falling from the sky?

Lumine put her head on his chest and noticed that his heart was barely beating up and he wasn't breathing!

Lumine: he's alive!

Lumine then put her hand on his chest and pressed down with a rhythm.

Paimon: awawa, what should paimon do? ah i know!

Paimon floated up and dived down into the boy chest.

Lumine: p-paimon don't do that!

Paimon: a-ah!! sorry paimon panicked! did paimon killed the stranger!? waaaa.

???: *cof* *cof* *cof* *cof* *cof* *bleh* *bleh*

the boy began to cough up and puked all the salt water he just drowned with.

Paimon: ah! he's alive!

???: *cof* *cof* *cof* *cof* ugh what the hell is wrong with her….*cof* *cof*

Lumine: hey are you okay?

lumine helped the boy by patting his back as he cough up.

???: *cof* *cof* a little bit yeah, thanks for your help, i would have died otherwise.

Paimon: say, what were you doing that high up in the sky anyways did you tried to fly?

Lumine: hey paimon, right now is not the time to be asking questions to him.

Paimon: right.

???: *cof* excuse me to interrupt both of you but, where are we?

Paimon: we're in the Starsnatch beach, near Mondstadt!

Lumine: before anything how many finger do you see?

lumine shows 4 fingers to him.

???: four.

Lumine: good, what's your name?

Varakiel: my name is Varakiel.

Paimon: Varakiel? that's a strange name.

Lumine: paimon, don't be mean.

Varakiel: *cof* is fine i get that a lot, thanks yet again for your rescue hmm…

Lumine: ah yes, my name is lumine, and this fairy-like creature is called Paimon.

Paimon: hey! Paimon is not a creature! 💢

paimon slammed her feet into the air

Varakiel: heheh, then Thank you lumine and paimon for saving my life, i promise ill pay you back a lot for this.

Paimon: really? then you could pay us back with a delicious meal!

Lumine: *sigh* What I am gonna do with you…

Varakiel: hahaha, of course, the thing is I am penniless now not a single coin.

Paimon: you're broke?

Varakiel: *shake* how do i put it without sounding crazy, you see i am not from this world.

Lumine: !? y-you're an outlander?

Varakiel: is that how they're called here? i suppose yeah.

Paimon: wow, just lik-

Lumine quickly covered paimon mouth.

Varakiel: ¿? anyways, i am not aware of what kind of currency this world has or what kind of dangers…well the later is why i came here, heheh.

Paimon: you came? you can travel through worlds?

Varakiel: yeah, i was traveling from the previous world i went to to this one but i was stopped by somekind of goddess she engulfed me with a cube and it seems she tossed me into the sea so i drown i suppose.

Lumine: !!? (no doubt! it was the sustainer of heavenly principles! he's like me!!)

Paimon: wow, hey tell me how was that world you were in?! was there a lot of delicious food? c'mon tell me tell me!

Varakiel: heheh, i can tell you in the road, i think i am okay to walk now, we should move to the nearby town before night.

Paimon: good idea! paimon will not be the best guide not only for one people but two!

Varakiel: mhm, thank you paimon.

Paimon: heheh.

Lumine: you're right we should move.

Lumine stood up and handed her hand to varakiel to help him stand up.

Varakiel: thanks.

Varakiel grabs her hand and lumine help him stand up.

*rustle*

Varakiel: ugh, my clothes are all wet, sadly it seems she sealed almost all of my power aswell, i can't access my personal storage.

*thump* *thump*

Lumine heart beated up fast.

Lumine: (i-is he someone from my world too?)

Suddenly a towel appears in varakiel hand.

Varakiel: oh! it seems it isn't blocked completely!

Varakiel dried himself up as they walked forward.

Varakiel: hm? Is something wrong miss lumine?

Lumine: n-no no, is nothing.

Varakiel: oh, okay.

Paimon: hey you two, hurry up! or paimon will leave you behind.

Lumine and varakiel look at each other.

Varakiel: *chuckle*

Lumine: *giggle*

*splash*

suddenly a blue slime came out of the water.

Varakiel: woah, is that a creature from this world?

Lumine: *nod* that is a called a hydro slime, don't underestimate them by their cutesy appearance if they slam at you it will hurt.

Varakiel: i see, do you mind if i?

Lumine: would that be okay? you just landed from all way up in the sky…

Varakiel: *nod* i'll be fine even if my weapons are blocked i feel if i become stronger that restraint will lift up slowly,

Lumine: (too similar to me, could it be we are related ?)

Varakiel then got close to the slime and using his fist slammed it into the sand.

*POW*

*Splash*

the slime splattered into the sand dead.

Varakiel: oh, i think i used way to much power….

Lumine:...(he's stronger that he looks)

Varakiel: heheh, it seems they the weakest version of slimes in this world.

Lumine: weakest?

Varakiel and lumine keep walking forward, despite being a game world in reality the distances are way longer.

Varakiel: mhm, in one of the worlds i went to i found slimes that were inmune to magic damage and physical damage, and only affected by ice or contudent weapons, that's why i used my fist, it seems is not the case here.

Lumine: oh, no wonder, that's not the case in teyvat, the slimes are only strong to the element they're infused to, for example this slime absorbed water so of course it was inmune to water, there's also geo slimes, pyro slimes, dendro slimes, electro, cryo and anemo.

Varakiel: i see so it this world even the elements are different, in the one i was there was only 4, it seems there's 7 in this one.it would be nice to learn them.

Lumine:....

lumine remembered the reason why her brother and her traveled through worlds, it was to know them and learn their cultures and history.

Lumine: (brother…)

Varakiel: mine…..lumine…

Lumine:!

lumine snapped out of her trance.

Lumine: ah sorry, what is it?

Varakiel: paimon is waiting for us besides that weird structure.

varakiel and lumine walked to her.

Paimon: hey guys, look at what I found! this weird structure!

Lumine: what is this? i never seen it before.

Varakiel: really? (so they appeared when she arrived or something like that?)

Lily: (yeah exactly that, the world told me that i am allowed to tell you information that doesn't break or could give you any lead of the past of the world tho.)

Varakiel: (is okay, i just plan to improve the future, the past should remain as that, the past.)

Lily: (alright.)

Paimon: i wonder what is it?

Varakiel: let me check it out by the look of it, it could be some kind of checkpoint or teleporter.

Lumine: that might be the case.

Paimon: but paimon just touched it and nothing happen…

Varakiel: really let me give it a try.

varakiel touched the beacon and.

*shine*

the red crystals on it turned from red to blue.

Varakiel: oh, it reacted! if we find another we might know confirm what is it for.

Lumine: *nod*

Paimon: alright then! let's keep going!

the three of them the keep walking until…

Paimon: the path ends here — guess we'll just have to climb. just be careful, you won't like to run out of energy and lose your grip!

Varakiel: *nod* Hyup!

Lumine: *nod* Hyup!

Varakiel and lumine climbed the wall while paimon floated up.

Paimon: okay, let's take the route we planned! we're off to…a statue of the seven!

Varakiel: statue of the seven?

Paimon: They are the seven deities that control the elements, and each of them has a territory for example the archon Barbatos, which is one of the seven we are looking for, right traveler?

Lumine: yes, we're the closest to Mondstat so it would be best to look for him first.

Varakiel: *nod* hm?

as varakiel nodded to lumine he noticed a bird nest on a tree in the distance.

Varakiel: give me a moment.

Paimon: hm?

Lumine: ?

Varakiel walked to the tree and climbed to the nest and picked up 3 eggs that were in there. then he walked back to lumine and paimon.
