Chapter 1.
Liyue.
A nation of Mora, unity and prosperity.
How the hell did this happen?
It's election night, and all the Liyueans sit in front of a podium, hairs on end and eyes glued to the figures in front of them. For the last few days, the republicans and liberals of Liyue had been locked in a tight debate.
On one hand, we have the knowledgeable figure known as Zhongli. The current husband of the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing. You already knew that he was a big deal and with his many promises and well thought out speeches, the audience was looking forward to hearing what he'd have to say tonight.
On the other hand, Keqing. The Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. At first, people thought of her as some strange Morax fangirl, but as she made speeches, the liberal feminists just couldn't get enough of it! She just like me, for real!
The democrats? Supporting Keqing.
The Republicans? None other than Zhongli.
Palms were sweaty as Keqing made her way to the podium for the very last speech she would make, mom's spaghetti. All eyes were on her, as she stated the following:
''Hello, Liyue. I am Keqing, and I am here to make my final speech. I have… some unfortunate news. I, Keqing, have unfortunately…''
The feminists sweat. No! Our girlboss! She's losing!
''...I have lost the election.''
The responses were mixed. Some cheered, while some burst into tears, hiding their faces in their hands. Such a controversial reaction, with some clapping their hands and some clapping people's faces with big massive slaps.
A smirk crept upon the new prime minister of Liyue, Zhongli. His arms were crossed in what appeared to be an authoritative position, but in truth.. The man had absolutely no idea what he was doing. The only reason he ran for presidency was to know how it feels to become a politician and act like such. It turns out making promises all the time worked in the end big time, thanks Ningguang!
He rises to the podium, gripping the mic and shoving Keqing aside in a subtle manner. ''Thank you, Liyue, for trusting me. I will show that I, as your great prime minister, can turn this sad, corrupt-ridden nation into something beautiful! Dark will turn to uh.. Light! And the rain will become… sun? Look, don't take my word for it! Just wait and see! From this day on, I will be this nation's superhero! Thank you for your trust. Farewell.'' And with that, he steps off the podium, a smile on his face. Now comes the good part!
The republicans stood up from their seats and cheered like it was no tomorrow. "We did it!" They claimed. "Our nation will finally be free, and richer than all other nations combined!" They cheered.
Oh, how wrong they were..
For, only a few hours later, Zhongli sat in his office, staring outside of his big fancy window, hands behind his back.
''I don't like those buildings. They block my view.'' He claimed with a furrow of his eyebrows. "I can't see the ocean from this angle with them in the way."
A female voice spoke behind him. "But the one on the right is an orphan-."
BOOM! All of a sudden, the sound of buildings collapsing and children screaming erupts from outside. Zhongli had used his Q attack, and had obliterated both buildings with meteors, smiling as he did so. As the smoke clears, though, he frowns.
''God damn it! The ocean isn't there!'' He sighed, as he ran a hand through his neatly combed hair. "It's fine, Ningguang. Sacrifices need to be made.. Especially for this nation in dire need. You rest well, I will handle everything else from here." He claimed with a carefree smile on his face.
We're fucked.
Inside the neighbouring nation, Monstadt, there is a similar happening.
In an office, surrounded by pictures of various individuals lies a man sitting on his chair, his hands running through his flaming red hair in stress. An empty mug of coffee on said desk and a lack of light explained the situation without issue.
He was too incompetent for this. Ruling a nation wasn't his thing.
His name? Diluc Ragnvindr, the soon to be former prime minister of Monstadt.
He was fucking done. The amount of bullshit that came with this job was overwhelming. He just wanted to fucking leave.
Neverending meetings with the Knights of Favonius, the Liyue Qixing when making contracts for peace,the constant stares from the secretary of said nation and it didn't help that the anemo god constantly annoyed him throughout his days. Diluc often questioned if that little bastard was gay, but it didnt bother him. As long as it did not involve him. But it did. And how he hated it.
As such, he made a final decision in his head as he stood up abruptly from his office chair. Putting on his usual coat. His hair cast a shadow over his eyes as he made his way out of the political household, meeting his adoptive brother on the way there.
"Going home early?" Kaeya questioned, as he raised his eyebrow.
''I'm done. Fuck off.'' Was all that he said, before opening the door and slamming it behind him with as much strength as he could.
Kaeya's eyes widen slightly, before his surprised expression turns to a smirk.
''...My opportunity has finally arrived.''
''I CAN BECOME GOD!'' With this newfound power, Kaeya would finally have the ability to drink as much wine as he possibly could until he vomited his organs out for absolutely free. He sure as hell had no idea what that whole 'decision making' deal was all about.. But hey! He'll wing the dark shite hero can do it, why can't he?
