I Awoke, to an oddly blank room. one that was blank not In decoration as the room was quite well done if I would say so, But it was in color, all the decorations, the furniture, the walls, and the floor were without color, not just white but it was as if the very concept of color did not exist.. Needless to say it was unnerving so I turned my gaze to the roof.. Which did not exist because instead of a roof there was a cloudy beautiful sky.

Thankfully for my sanity that sky was a wonderful azure blue, and Not, a not not color like everything else. so I (still refusing to look away from the sky) laid down on a couch and continued to stare at the sky, And as I looked to the clouds above I tried to recall how on earth did I end up here? and so I went through my memories all the way up to... my Death? and then Rebirth? As a Fetus!? I closed my eyes and groaned; I remember now, the odd robotic voice telling me that my new body couldn't handle the load and then then the sleep. I must have woken up because my new body was finally mature enough to not be damaged by having 20 years worth of memories shoved in it.

But why? Why was I here surrounded by not not colors in a room with no roof? before I could question my situation any more a familiar sound was heard A..

Ding memories unsealed and fully restored waiting for installation.

"Waiting?" I asked "why?"

Ding questions and a decision User

"What questions and what decision?"

Ding questions that you may have User and as for the decision there are multiple that you need to make. the most pressing one however is what you want to do with the memories of the being known as Sorine.

Ookay then, that was not confusing at all but I guess that is what the questions are for, I should start asking those, but first..

"System, computer, god Whatever you are, could you please talk like a normal person "

"As you wish User. first To answer your question as to what I am. my designation is the Hero Enhancement and Awakening To Help Every Realm. Or as many have before you could call me Heather. I am a system whose purpose is the Creation of heroes there are many iterations of me this iteration is assigned to the realm known by locals as Teyvat"

"Excuse me" I interrupted "but why did you pick me? I'm not from Teyvat so why would you go out of your realm to find a hero?"

"Because as a being who came into existence outside of Teyvat you are not automatically under the same Laws that those who are born in Teyvat are." Heather stated.

"The Heavenly Principles" I stated

"Correct among other things, although the Heavenly Principles in specific is only partially blocked otherwise the Sustainer of those principles would take notice, and that is something that we are not ready for." Heather explained.

Alright that was good to know because even as a somewhat casual of genshin, I knew that Teyvats laws were as mysterious as they were potentially dangerous with the only law I knew being the Heavenly Principles which states that nothing will last forever. (except for Celestia) but.. still..

"Why did you choose me?" I asked

Earth had at least 7 billion people and many more already dead among that number I was not someone special compared to the millions of genius, great strategists, and heroic warriors that were produced over thousands of years.

"I didn't choose you I just grabbed someone at random as that's all I'm allowed to do fortunately you seem to have at least a little bit of knowledge of the world you have found yourself in anymore questions?" Heather paused but I shook my head I couldn't think of anything at the moment.

"Good now it is time for you to decide what to do with the memories from your time asleep you have two options, one you could add them onto yours at the risk of minor personality changes or we can delete them, decide.' Heather commanded.

Okay I had to think this was a big choice do I keep my personality intact at the risk of being at a disadvantage or do I take the memories and knowledge that comes with that. Time passed as I thought about the situation until eventually I realized that I didn't even know what the memories contained it could just be a few years of babyhood that most people forget anyways so I asked.

"Heather these memories you talked about, What are they about?"

Heather answered grumpily "I though you had no more questions. the memories in question are those of the sub being known as Sorine which came into existence due to your memories being sealed"

"What" I asked horrified did this mean..

"you don't understand?" Heather asked "Alright think of it as multiple personality disorder, you have the same body/soul but one personality is that of a 20 year old man who grew up on earth and the other a 14 year old girl who grew up in Teyvat."

I heard Heather's words and I was reading them in front of me but I still couldn't understand no that's not it I don't want to understand I did not want to admit that in order to begin my second chance at life I would have to effectively murder a 14 year old girl. but that's fine right? I mean she only exists because my memories were sealed right? and if I absorb her memories than she is still alive Right?...

... Who was I kidding that just makes things worse.

"Heather is it possible to have the girl, Sorine absorb or erase my memories?"

"Yes" she replied "is that what you wish to do?"

I sighed "Yes, but first can I talk with her?" if I was going to give up my second chance at life I would at least like to talk with Sorine first.

"Of course, Standby" Heather replied and then the room spun.


A.N So I was halfway through this when I checked my email. imagine my surprise to see so much feedback for my little story, granted most of it was criticism but I asked for that and the advice has been helpful. I would like to thank rantrig810e for their response and I would also thank runelt99 for their response. sorry that I did not incorporate your advice but I had already finished writing most of this when my email stopped acting up
