Before moving on to the story, let's look at the comments. Since there are already five comments, I can write them all this time.

Adrian12150: Hola amigo, realmente em gusto mucho como adaptarste la forma de pensar de subaru además de que que diste un inicio diferente al de genshin, espero y sigas así y continues la historia, mucha suerte ( Hello friend, I really liked how you adapted Subaru's way of thinking, in addition to the fact that you gave a different start to that of Genshin, I hope you continue like this and continue the story, good luck )

thanks for your comment. I will try to continue as much as possible. I couldn't write a story that followed a normal canon path with Pridebaru anyway. He's not a suitable character for this. Actually, when you think about it, there is a meta meaning in it. The reason Pridebaru exists is because he doesn't follow canon. Of course, when canon events begin, he gets involved in some way. I also thought it would be interesting to give it about a year of preparation time.

pokemonrot377: Oh my god pride Subaru in teyvat

This was definitely the sentence that came to mind when I came up with this story idea. Thanks for the comment by the way.

Mugetsu345: Interesting story so far, cant wait to see where this will go

Thanks for the comment. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

Alb4tr05S: Watched. Really fun read. Nameless Red Spirit-chan is the best girl. I hope Subaru comes to properly appreciate and love her. Subaru should bestow her with a proper name like Antares or Vega.

Thank you for both your comment and your name suggestion. Spica came to my mind immediately, but these are better for compatibility with the color scheme. The development of the relationship between Subaru and his spirit is definitely not something that will happen immediately. After all, for Subaru, his Spirit is not even a living being for now. But what will happen is unknown. Subaru has a lot to deal with at first.

Jhunal: Can't wait for the shit to go down. Pride if Subaru is for sure another level of insane.

First of all, thanks for the comment. Secondly, you are absolutely right. This Subaru's insanity is on a different level. Of course all Subarus are crazy. But I think Pridebaru is much more dangerous with both its functionality and achievements. I plan to show this as I progress through the story. If we can, we will go down to dark places. There will also be deaths from our playable characters. and for some I am planning a fate comparatively worse than death. But there is more to these. Let's see when the story will get there.

and that's it. If you have anything you are curious about, you can ask me in the comments. After all, your comments motivate me.

Prologue, Part Two: Starting With More Than Zero

Tianbao sighed in distress and concern as he recorded what he saw in his notebook. When he was sent by the guild, he never expected to encounter such a large camp. It was frightening that such a large camp could be prepared so close to the capital in such a short time. Especially when they had an Abyss Mage to command them, the damage capacity they could inflict increased several times.

'Lately the hilichurls have become much more aggressive and organized... What is the Abyss sect planning this time?'

Although they were a much larger and stronger camp than average, of course this camp was not a threat to the capital. They would be eliminated instantly by the army. But looking at the Explosives they made from the fire slimes' essences and their location, their purpose was clear.

'Trade Caravans...'

The ritual had taken place about a week ago, and Red Lapix had once again guided the people of Liyue with his wisdom. This was the most important economic and commercial event of this year, as every year. It was the time when trade caravans and merchants were most active. If these hilichurls laid these explosives on the roads of trade caravans, they could really cause great material damage.

Of course, this wasn't going to happen. Because Millelith would easily handle them. The hilichurls and the Abyss cult were very successful in guerrilla warfare, but they had no chance against a regular army. At least that's what Tianbao knew. With these thoughts, Tianbao continued to observe the camp for a long time. After taking note of every detail, he slowly prepared to leave.

BAAAAAM!

A sudden sound and earthquake. Then the sound of falling rocks. The top of the hill where Tianbao was was shaken by a loud sound. Tianbao had to hold on to the edges to avoid falling.

'What is that?! Another Geovishap Hatchling?'

In Liyue, this was not that unusual. Mini earthquakes and tremors were quite natural because of Geovishap Hatchlings. Of course, Tianbao had more important problems than thinking about this right now.

When the hilichurls looked at where the voice came from, they noticed Tianbao. They were coming towards him angrily. A few of them were about to go to the main cabin and notify the Mage. Tianbao immediately tried to go back the way he came and leave from here. But when he looked back, he saw that the road was partially blocked by falling rocks.

"Fuck..."

Luckily the situation wasn't that bad. The shaking was relatively minor and not many rocks were rolled down. He could quickly climb over these rocks and continue on his way.

Hilichurls were coming towards the hill from behind. Tianbao quickly began to climb. He was quite athletic. He quickly climbed the stones like a monkey. But unfortunately he was unlucky.

"Aaah!"

One of the rocks under Tianbao's feet was dislodged, causing Tianbao to fall down. Before Tianbao had time to think about what had happened as he tumbled down and fell to the ground, an arrow passed past his cheek. The young adventurer quickly grabbed his bag, which had fallen with him, and took cover behind a nearby rock. and he drew his bow from his back and fired a shot with a normal arrow. The moment the arrow hit one of the piles of red barrels, it caused an explosion and blew some of the hilichurl'urs into the air. At the same time, he took a few smoke bombs from the pockets of his waist belt and threw them, creating a smoke set. Then he took a Pyro bottle and an Electro bottle from his bag and threw them into the fog.

The Elemental Mana released by the two bottles breaking in the mist collided with each other, creating an Overload reaction, causing an explosion almost as large as the previous one. The hilichurls in the fog were seriously injured and some died. The barrier created by the explosion and fog had bought Tianbao some time, but he knew that it was a pointless effort. This was just a temporary distraction.

Through the mist, three water bolts hit the rock where Tianbao was hiding. Part of the rock shattered, forcing Tianbao to relocate. Tianbao tried to get behind a farther tree, but at that moment, Blue Mage appeared in front of him.

When he saw the mage, Tianbao, without hesitation, threw the special smoke bomb in the special pocket on his waist towards the mage and started running in the opposite direction, covering his mouth and nose with his arm.

This smoke bomb was a very expensive alchemy product. It was not something Tianbao made himself, it was a very expensive product he brought from Monstad. As it was known, it was unlikely that an adventurer without Vision could destroy a Mage's elemental shield. That's why this product was made. Mana shields were not completely airtight. If that were the case, the Mages themselves would drown to death. The toxins in this stunning mist were alchemically split into small pieces that could pass through the shield. This was almost the only solution for visionless adventurers in this situation.

But it still wasn't enough. Mages were not stupid. Over time, they learned this new method.

Since Water Mage had just used his teleport, he couldn't use it again now. So he created a wall of water between himself and the fog and ran away to the other side. At this time, a huge explosion was heard, but neither Tianbao nor Mage could pay attention to it when the surroundings were so full of chaos.

Meanwhile, Tianbao continued to escape. But some of the other hilichurls had already caught up with the battle. Especially those who are archers. A purple arrow pierced Tianbao's right shoulder and let out a painful scream. He writhing in pain on the ground as electricity spread throughout his body. Meanwhile, Mage had escaped from the stupefying fog and started coming towards him. With one last effort, Tianbao grabbed a Cryo vial from his bag with his left hand and threw it at the Mage. The bottle exploded as it hit the shield, creating a Cryo blast. The Hydro Mana on the shield has entered the Freeze reaction. The shield took a considerable amount of damage and slowed the abyss mage down a bit. But this only bought him a little time. And there was nowhere to run because of the other hilichurls.

'That's it...' Tianbao thought. Despite all the training and preparation, it was nothing. In all this chaos, he had only killed a few normal hilichurls and wasted their explosives. The mess he created was pointless. The injured would be healed by the shaman anyway. In return, he would lose his life and probably be forgotten within a few months... just like the countless adventurers who die every year. The old adventurers were right, he had brought his own end. He should have left this task to more COMPETENT Adventurers. This task should have been left to those with VISION.

'A vision... I don't want to die... ah... a vision. If only I had too...!' A stream of meaningless thoughts that come instantly as you approach death. A vision... the thing he had craved most for as long as he could remember. And what he can never reach. He didn't know why. But the Gods did not consider his desires worthy enough. He was not one of the chosen ones. From where? Why them? Why not him...? He couldn't understand. He had encountered vision users before in the city. His desires were not simple. But he also saw that those without vision had greater and nobler desires... but on what basis did the Gods judge desires?

It didn't matter, after all. Because these were just long chains of meaningless thoughts that Tianbao created to escape from reality when he was about to die. He thought about what he could do using the things left in his bag, but to no avail. He had no hope. The gods did not answer his prayers.

But the devil did it.

"Goa"

A fireball hit the Shaman behind, right in the neck, and threw him forward. But before the shaman could recover, another fireball hit the same point on the base, ending the shaman's life in the most efficient and short time possible.

With this sudden death of the shaman, the hilichurls and the Mage looked in the direction where the fireball was thrown. The first thing they saw was a young man with torn robes, scars, black hair and scary eyes. The second thing they saw was the sudden wall of fire between them and Tianbao. Tianbao could not fully comprehend what had happened, but he was determined to use this newly emerged factor to his advantage. The fire set placed in front of him provided him with safety. Using this opportunity, he began to crawl towards a large rock nearby with his bow.

The archers turned to the young man and fired their crossbows, simultaneously the Mage fired three water arrows. The teenager easily dodged the attacks in the most efficient and precise manner possible, without ever changing his facial expression. He then fired three fireballs towards the archers as he ran into the distance. Each of the three fireballs hit the target perfectly, burning the archers' hands, arms, and crossbows. Archers were out of action for now.

Seeing the young man walking away, the mage instantly disappeared and reappeared in front of the young man at the same time. While laughing annoyingly, he tried to make a new attack. But the young man also known as Subaru was prepared. He turned his hand towards the mage and spoke.

"Vita"

One word and the staff the Mage was using as a catalyst suddenly became heavy, slipping from the Mage's hand and falling to the ground. Losing his catalyst and being surprised, the Mage could no longer hold his already damaged shield steady and fell to the ground. His opponent took the staff with one hand and held the other hand towards the Mage's eye. First, a ball of fire appeared in his hand. Then the sphere gradually tapered into a short spear of fire. The mage didn't even have a moment to react and was killed by a fire spear that entered his eye and exited from the back of his head.

Meanwhile, the wall of fire protecting Tianbao was weakening, and almost all of the normal hilichurl'ur were attacking Tianbao, seeing him as easy prey. From his new safe position, Tianbao tried to fight back as much as possible with his bow and poisoned arrows. But Subaru was aware that it could not continue like this. When the wall of fire started to diminish, Tianbao would see him soon. The second phase of the plan had to be started. Subaru sighed. 'I hope it happens this time.'

Subaru renewed his instructions to his Spirit. Then he popped a Bokko fruit into his mouth and created many tiny fireballs in his hand, not lethal or very dangerous, but quite a lot. For this spell, he used the Mana in his own body, not the Mana in the atmosphere. He knelt down due to lack of mana and was going to faint soon. That was the purpose anyway.

Subaru fired fireballs towards himself, hitting different parts of his body. The hot fire caused new burns on his body, worsening his previous wounds. A pitiful scream escaped Subaru's mouth. It was a completely fake scream. Subaru was used to pain.

Subaru fainted, not from pain but from lack of Mana.

Nameless Spirit watched the scene with a pain in his heart. Still, he knew better than to question his master's plan. At least that's what he believed. She didn't have any other option anyway. Spirit went to help the Green-clothed man, Tianbao, who was in trouble. They were no longer considered a threat anyway.

'Luck Manipulation.' Subaru thought as he opened his eyes in a horse carriage, half-conscious, with the intervention of his spirit.

'Return By Death' had many great rewards and powers. But controlling the luck factor was by far the most dangerous. Didn't you get lucky this cycle? Try again until it happens. If an event was random, that is, it depended on chance, it would happen as long as it was tried hard enough. This was absolute, and how powerful it was was clearly revealed in the previous events. There was luck involved in almost every step of the plan.

The first step began after he buried his potentially suspicious daggers, the sacred Lugnica gold coins, and his bible in a hole in the ground to prevent them from burning. and not to burn. To go around the camp without Tianbao or those hics noticing, to get to the top of the observation post where Tianbao was and to draw as much Mana from the atmosphere as possible. This was very difficult for two reasons. The first problem was Tianbao. He was a really good observer. Getting around without him noticing was difficult and took several loops. The second step was how to climb that high so fast while still injured. Murak used his magic for this.

Murak. A base-level Yin spell, this spell temporarily reduces the effects of Gravity for a person or object. With this spell, he climbed easily without making a sound. The next thing to do was to wait for the exact moment when Tianbao would leave, to gain as much time as possible. Until this moment, his Spirit had drawn as much Mana as he could from the atmosphere.

The second step was to create a tremor when the time came and make the rocks fall on Tianbao's exit path, making the hilichurls aware of Tianbao's location. He solved it by creating explosions inside the gaps in the hill. Again, he had to waste many cycles to produce the most efficient result possible with the least Mana cost possible. Even when he finally found the method, he wasn't done. Whether the falling rocks landed in the right places depended on luck. LUCK

Of course, the falling rocks were very few. Tianbao could easily escape by climbing. At this time, he used a basic level Yin spell for the second time. Vita magic. A spell that increases the effects of gravity on a person or object for a period of time. He cast this spell on one of the stones under Tianbao's feet, causing it to fall down. For this he had to come closer to her. Of course, it was difficult to hide again. Tianbao's eyes were much sharper than necessary.

The next thing was to kill Mitachurl while Tianbao was stalling the other enemies. It wasn't hard to hide this time because Tianbao was busy fighting for his life at the time. He had easily defeated him by using explosives and memorizing Mitachurl's movement pattern. Of course, this stage of the plan also required luck. It was important whether Tianbao could fight well enough... Or rather, whether he would have good luck in battle. This was one of the most difficult and uncertain parts. Fighting alone against such a large group, including a powerful mage, was almost impossible for someone without magic. Although Tianbao had truly impressive athletic abilities, he was no exception. In some cycles, unfortunately, he died immediately before he could do anything. But rarely in some cycles he got lucky and was able to react quickly. It had performed relatively well, especially this last cycle.

The next step was to join the war. First he took down the shaman. Then he summoned a wall of fire to save Tianbao from death and prevent Tianbao from seeing his movements. Then he should have disabled the archers and Mage. It was difficult. It was very difficult actually. Being able to use mana efficiently. It was really difficult to figure out how to finish the event as quickly as possible in the fewest moves possible. Many cycles were spent. It took him a while to find a way to defeat Mage in particular. He used Vita for this and made the Mage drop his wand from his hand. This wand was obviously important for the contraction of his spells. A moment of carelessness could break the shield. Of course, luck was needed here too. Sometimes, when the Mage dropped the staff, he was able to catch the shield with his focus. And sometimes he never dropped the wand. because Subaru couldn't keep the Vita for long. He had already pushed the door too hard even with this. Even after he got out of here, he would have to rest his Gate for weeks.

The final phase of the plan was the most critical. After defeating the most dangerous enemies, Subaru used the Mana in his body to burn himself even further. There was no other way.

Subaru was able to use elemental magic without vision. He was an anomaly. And anomalies attract attention. They attract a lot of attention.

Subaru had to go to the city for treatment no matter what. Even if he could stabilize his wounds on his own with Tianbao's supplies, he would die from infection. There was no other way. And when he arrived in town, he would attract attention. He could somehow pretend to have met Tianbao on the way back without interacting with Hilichurls at all. But that could raise too many questions. Also, maybe a supernatural being in the city can sense Subaru's spirit or witch miasma. In this case, he would become even more suspicious. Especially without a resume and without any support, things were going to get very difficult.

Subaru then decided to make up a story. He would create a new Resume with what he learned from Tianbao and directly reveal his Spirit to hide his Yin spells. From what he learned from Tianbao, his spirit is similar in appearance and function to the elemental particles on this Earth. He planned to claim that an elemental grain that was denser and more powerful than normal had been a helpful companion on his journey. After all, this was more believable by World standards. Compared to reality...

There were three reasons why he set himself on fire. The first was to show that this elemental Particle did not have proper control over its powers. It was also to make himself look weak. Destroying such a camp would attract a lot of attention and make Him look powerful. Subaru didn't want this. He wasn't strong. This was a lesson learned the hard way. Even though he could theoretically destroy cities with adequate preparation, he was too weak for his own goals. Also, one of the ultimate rules of war is to make yourself look weaker than you are. So the enemy will underestimate you.

After all... After all, that's what brought the end of the archbishops.

'Except you... Pete-san...'

Secondly, this way he would have a logical reason for the burns on him. After all, what would he say when they asked about his burns? "It happened while we were burning an entire nation." I guess he couldn't say. After all, the lie that he had inflicted the burns on himself was not a complete lie.

Third, this would strengthen his future story. It was almost impossible for anyone to guess that he was planning all this. Because no one in their right mind would make a plan that depends so much on luck. But he would add a second layer to make sure he didn't plan this. He would sacrifice his life to save Tianbao...

This was the part where the luck factor was the most. He was actually about to die due to his wounds and lack of Mana. He more or less understood Tianbao's character. That boy's heart was good. He wouldn't leave her. But whether Tianbao could temporarily stabilize him with first aid depended on luck. Whether Tianbao would be in good enough shape to carry him on the road depended on luck. Whether or not Tianbao encountered a trade convoy on the way depended on luck. It was just a matter of luck that they could get him to the city in time.

It would literally be a miracle if Subaru could escape from here. What he was doing anyway was basically resetting time until a miracle happened. Even now, everything was not over. Subaru knew. Whether he could get a treatment in the city in time that was good enough to prevent him from dying depended on some luck and competence.

'I hope the adventurers guild's treatment facilities are as good as Tianbao mentioned. I'm getting tired of repeating this nonsense. 'Who knows how many days I've been dealing with this nonsense... now... I...' With these thoughts, Subaru fainted again. He had barely been conscious for a few minutes anyway due to lack of mana. The only reason he could wake up was because his spirit was trying to force him to wake up through the psychic connection between them. He was the one who gave him this order... Yet Subaru was at peace as he fainted. He was confident in his plan and had his lies prepared.

After a while, the car arrived at the port. Upon arrival, checks were carried out quickly and Subaru was immediately taken to the hospital. Neither the merchants there nor the Millelith guards had any idea what they were bringing to the city.

The archbishop was in Liyue.

When Subaru woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed in some sort of infirmary. He had a terrible headache. He was covered in bandages almost everywhere, and he felt incredibly tired and weak. Also, his throat was very dry.

Right after he woke up and sat up in bed, he saw that bright red spirit in front of him. She was very happy about Subaru's awakening and was literally sending out little sparks in the air. Subaru controlled the spirit's status through the contractual bond between them. she was in much better shape than the Subaru. she had rested well and continued to store Mana from the atmosphere. Just as Subaru was about to get information from his spirit about what happened after he fainted, the door opened. Two girls entered, one of whom was holding a tray. They looked like some kind of nurse, but the color patterns of the nurse's uniform were similar to Tianbao's. And it really was closer to the style of ancient China than a modern-style nurse's outfit. When the girls saw that Subaru was awake, their faces showed obvious surprise. But they recovered immediately. She said something to the other one without a tray and left, and the girl with a tray in her hand went to Subaru and started checking on his condition.

"Well, look who decided to join the land of the living. Are you okay? Can you understand me?"

"I… *ahem*… is there any water?"

"Oh... Of course, you must be thirsty." She said, filling a glass with water from the jug on the tray and handing it to Subaru. After drinking the water, Subaru began to look around more carefully.

"Thank you... Where am I?"

"This is the hospital wing of the Adventurer's guild. You have been treated here for a while since Mr. Tianbao brought you to the city. You are actually lucky to be alive. How are you feeling right now?"

"I'm fine... Just a little tired. Who is Tianbao, by the way?"

"The adventurer who brought you here." The nurse said while checking Subaru's bandages. "He said that you and that cute little one over there saved his life. By the way, I'm Meiying. Can I ask your name?"

Subaru couldn't help but laugh a little in his mind at the woman calling the spirit that burned down an entire city cute.

"My name is Hoshimoto Alcor."

If there was one thing Subaru had learned from the archbishops of gluttony, it was that you should never tell anyone your real name. Who knew what kind of ridiculous Powers there were in this new World?

"Nice to meet you. So what's the name of this red one?"

"Ah... Antares... its.. *ahem* her name is Antares..."

'...hmm... I never thought the plan would open up from here.' Subaru thought, pretending to cough.

Subaru had really never thought about it. After all, his spirit was not an individual who lived for him. It was a tool. It felt very natural to him at this point. Why give a name to a tool? So when asked her name, he said the first thing that came to his mind. A red star.

Fortunately, the person in front of him was not a very careful person. After talking for a while longer and making sure Subaru was okay, she told him to rest and left. She also said that someone from the adventurers guild would come to talk to him soon as she left.

All this time the spirit, which now had a name, was happily wandering around the room. She almost burned the curtains, but she had a hard time stopping herself. she had a name! she had a name now! A name given by her master! She continued this active state until Subaru ordered her to stop. Subaru called her closer and began to learn directly from her what had happened.

Everything was as planned. After he fainted, Antares went to help Tianbao. One of the benefits of spirit arts. Spirits can also fight on their own. Together they defeated those who remained. Of course, in the meantime, Antares, upon Subaru's orders, occasionally pretended to be an accident, injuring Tianbao a little. When everything was over, she showed Tianbao where Subaru was. They hitchhiked to a trade caravan on the road. They came here. He had been unconscious for about a day and a half or two. Lack of Mana... It was early morning now.

Meanwhile, those here were trying to understand what Antares was. They also thought that he was responsible for the burns on Subaru. But fortunately, Tianbao intervened by saying that she had accidentally harmed himself while helping him in the war, that Antares could not fully control her powers, and that they were saved there thanks to her. At first, they thought that Antares was an entity that manifested through Subaru's vision. But when they realized that Subaru did not have a vision, they thought that Antares was an abnormal fire particle that was slightly more intelligent and powerful , and they had not been able to bring an expert here in such a long time. After all, they couldn't capture Antares. But Antares, meanwhile, was always visible and never passed into the astral plane. she also never showed that she could pass through matter. Subaru ordered these. He didn't want to reveal his trump card so early.

While Subaru digested what he had learned in his mind, he placed the food on the tray on the side table, took the tray and looked at himself from the shiny surface of the tray. How many cycles had it been since I looked at his face? His skin was still tanned from the expedition to the sage's tower. His eyes still looked scary. And dead... but what was different was that part of the right side of his face was burned and covered with bandages. There could be a trace of this.

'If Blue were here, he could instantly destroy this wound forever. There wouldn't even be a trace left. Huh...I'll miss having a personal healer. look at this situation. It's become very Avatar around here. I literally became Zuko... no... Zuko's burn made him more charismatic. Mine makes me ugly to say the least... Damn..."

As Subaru escaped into his thoughts, forcing himself to think about his own appearance, he was brought back to reality by the sound of footsteps. He put the tray down and looked at the door. It was a girl at the door holding a few files and papers in her hands. The girl looked physically a few years older than Subaru, but still looked younger than her twenty-five years. He was wearing a women's version of the outfit Tianbao was wearing. She wore a white short-sleeved dress with a front cutout, a green cape collar with ruffle trim and a triangular back closure, and a green panel skirt with a slit and a red bow at the back. She had on a green Dixie hat with a red cross on the left, a short red scarf, brown socks, and high leather boots with laces. She had long brown hair and blue eyes. She was quite beautiful, and from the smile on her face, Subaru was sure that this girl was doing a public relations job for the adventurer guild. The girl sat on a chair next to Subaru's bed with the papers in her hands. And she smiled at Subaru and started speaking.

"Good morning! I hope you had a good rest. How are you feeling?"

"Good morning to you too... There is some tiredness and pain. But other than that, I'm as good as I can be. I wonder who you are...?" Subaru said, trying to look as tired as possible.

"I'm a recruiter from the Adventurers' Guild! I came here to talk to you on behalf of the adventurers' guild about the things that happened in the past days. My name is Tiantian. Nice to meet you, Hoshimoto.

"Actually, my name is Alcor. Hoshimoto is my last name. I'm from Inazuma."

"Inazuma? Wow... You've come a long way. If you don't mind me asking, can I ask how you got to Liyue?" The girl said while writing a few things on one of the papers in her hand.

Thus, Subaru began to explain in detail the resume he had created with the information he had previously received from Tianbao. The basis said: He was from the Watatsumi island of Inazuma. Due to Raiden's Isolation law, the entire country, especially those on Watatsumaki island, was subject to famine and resource shortage. Many people tried to overcome the Storm by ships and go to other countries. Subaru was one of them. But their ship was badly damaged in the storm. It was destroyed before reaching Liyue. But he was found by a pirate ship passing nearby at that time and was brought to Liyue as a prisoner to be sold to some treasure hunters. Subaru had learned from Tianbao that treasure hunters sometimes smuggled people.

Then, by chance, Antares came to his cage. He escaped with her help. He didn't know what it was or the full concept of its powers. After a while, they went to help because they heard someone's screams while they were looking for a nearby city.

Of course, Subaru explained this in as much detail and as convincingly as possible. Lying and acting were his specialties, after all. The beginning of the story was pretty logical anyway. After all, there were too many immigrants fleeing from Inazuma. But the encounter with Antares part of the story was a bit weak. Yet there was no alternative option that others might suspect. That's the thing about Magical Worlds. There are so many magical and supernatural things that one person cannot keep track of them all. Thus, they tend to accept some abnormalities more easily. Besides, in Tiantian's eyes, Subaru had no reason to lie. Of course, she still had questions.

"If you don't know what her is, how can you be sure her is a girl?

'I think it would raise more questions if I said her sounded like that.' Subaru thought for a while.

"When I gave them male names, she showed with her actions that she didn't like them. But I'm not sure. After all, Antares can be used for both genders where I come from. Does an elemental particle have a gender anyway? I've only seen electro particles in Inazuma."

"To be honest, I've never heard or read anything like that either. So you're saying that she also cast the fire spells that Tianbao wrote about in him report, right?"

"Of course. After all, I don't have a vision. Antares isn't good at targeting alone, though, and she needs my help. And when she uses power above a certain level, it becomes dangerous for me, too." Subaru showed his wounds.

"Tianbao also mentioned this. His left leg was also a little burned..."

"Oh... We're really sorry about that. Right, Antares?"

Antares quickly began to move up and down in place, which made Tiantian giggle a little.

"Don't worry, I don't think he's angry with you. After all, he was very grateful to you for staying alive thanks to you. He also came to visit a few times while you were sleeping. I'm sure he'll want to thank you himself."

"There's no need for that. Antares did all the work anyway. I was just helping."

They talked about what happened in the attack on that camp for a while, and Tiantian continued to take notes. Subaru tried to fool as much as possible. He was trying to attract as little suspicion as possible. Of course, no matter what he did, there was something suspicious and abnormal. The only reason why Subaru wasn't openly suspected now was because Subaru sacrificed his life trying to save Tianbao. When he came here, even the doctors did not think it was likely that he would survive. There were one or two in the adventurers' guild who had Hydro vision. Even they had helped at the request of the guild and Tianbao. But still the wounds were too many. On top of that, there was a lack of Mana that normal people here didn't fully understand. An evil person would not go into such danger just to pull a trick. They didn't even consider this possibility and ignored the little quirks in the story.

After a while, the question Subaru had been waiting for finally came.

"So Alcor, did you have any plans when you came here from Inazuma? Do you have any relatives or acquaintances around here?"

"Unfortunately no... I had some money saved, but when the ship sank, it sank to the bottom of the ocean along with most of my belongings. I guess I'm completely broke and homeless..." Subaeu said, appearing in a sad mood.

"So, would you consider joining the Adventurers guild?"

"Ha?"

"It would probably be best for you. You need an ID and permission to stay in Liyue, right? The adventurers' guild is active in all seven nations. Adventurers are allowed to be in all seven nations except Inazuma, as long as there is no problem with their record. Also, if you join the adventurers' guild, the hilichurl you cleanse "You will also receive the reward for the camp and the Abyss Mage you killed. Considering the potential danger the camp poses, the reward is quite high. So you can solve a lot of your problems quickly. What do you say?"

Subaru smiled mentally. Of course, he was aware of what the adventurers' guild was trying to do. He had planned this. In the current situation, a person who was about to die on a mission where the Adventurers' Guild did not properly calculate the threat level was saved by a random person endangering his life. This was not good for the guild's public relations. Normally, the reputation of the adventurers' guild could not be said to be very good. I think it was because most of its members were not very competent. But if Subaru became an adventurer, the story would change. Moreover, a danger that could harm many merchants would be eliminated by an adventurer. It would also change when an adventurer came close to losing his life and had to be rescued by someone else. The adventurer in danger would be rescued by another adventurer. Also, with this, the guild would have recruited a not bad qualified adventurer. That's why they offered the prize money. This action was the most logical and correct move for the adventurers' guild. The guild normally did not reward adventurers for their services before joining the guild. Otherwise, recording and accounting would become meaningless.

"Um… I'm not sure I'm qualified enough for this job."

"Don't be ridiculous! You're way overqualified. Have you forgotten the camp you beat?"

"It wasn't me. It was mostly Tianbao and Antares. We got lucky. And even though we were lucky, we were almost killed by our own attacks. It was more me, actually..."

"I don't think you should be so self-deprecating. Besides, being an adventurer is about so much more than just fighting! If you like to survive in the wild, dive into deep waters, and glide at breakneck speeds, there's a job for you in the adventurers' guild! ...Oh, and there's also exploration, mountaineering, and stuff like that." You can also join if you are interested!"

"So adventurers are interested in these too?"

"Of course! The clue is in the name, especially the 'adventure' part."

"Well... I guess I don't have much of a choice right now anyway. What do you say, Antares? Do you want to be an adventurer?" he asked as he mentally commanded Antares to enthusiastically say yes.

Antares also began to fly up and down faster, as ordered. Subaru They were trying to keep secret that they could communicate mentally.

"Look, he's excited too!"

"Indeed it is... Okay. If that's what you want, Antares. Then let's join in."

"Great! We'll do the physical tests after you recover. But now we have a few forms and documents to fill out for your ID."

"I'm illiterate."

"No problem. Most of the adventurers are illiterate anyway. I will handle it for you. Just answer my questions."

It continued like this. And they filled out the forms together. Subaru concealed his personal information as much as possible, without attracting suspicion, and squeezed in a few lies. Knowing something about someone gives you power over that person. He generally believed this.

'Though for Louis the opposite was true.'

After a while, Tiantian left the infirmary with the completed documents and left Subaru to rest. For Subaru, the urgent matters were finally taken care of. He was in a place where he could receive treatment for his injuries. He had acquired a reasonable level of initial knowledge about this new World. The needs for shelter, food and water were met for now. He solved the money problem. He had created a new identity document. He either revealed or successfully concealed his abnormalities. There was an adventurer who owed him his life. He had a new job. And his reputation was pretty good for now.

'Not bad for the first two days. It took much longer than two days for me though... but anyway... so, what should I do now?'

Subaru closed his eyes and began to think. With his urgent needs taken care of, the questions he had pushed deep into his mind came to light again. Why was he here? How did he get here? What was happening in Lugnica? Were Elsa and Meili okay? What if the man who could be his friend one day was alive? What about blue? Roswaal is definitely alive, but what about the others? Are they still dead?

"No... No... Since my Spirit is alive and has no memory of being killed, they must be alive too! They escaped with my disappearance. While I'm gone, Reinhard will focus on saving the innocents who are burning in pain, not chasing them... but what if..? No . I have to focus on myself now. I have to go back so that everything is taken care of properly. But how? Even the magic system here seems to be different. Odlangu organizes the universe. Either their names are different here or they don't exist here. Then it means I'm in another universe. Switching between universes. .. it's not impossible. There is Al Shamac. It's basically a spell that sends everything in a certain area from this universe to another universe where there is absolute nothingness. But teleporting to a certain universe... this is much more than the Yin spells I know... what should I do?'

Subaru sighed in exasperation and laid back on his bed. He was really depressed. Antares could also feel this through the contract between them. she tried to cheer him up but was ignored as usual. Subaru's body was still sore, and his door was so tired that he could feel it throbbing. How can a magical organ hurt? Maybe the pain was only in his mind.

'I keep going back and forth and repeating the same thoughts. Again and again. No matter how hard I think, I can't find the answer on my own. But who can give me the necessary information? Maybe the Scholars of this World can do it. Or...or maybe the Gods of this Earth can help me?...well I hope they don't have omniscient powers. Otherwise they won't help me unless they are an evil god. Still, it's worth a try. They probably aren't beyond Return By Death. Authorities are beyond the concepts of logic. Even Odlangu was not immune. Also, even though I did so many resets, no one came to investigate. They either don't care or aren't aware of it. Of course, they might not have been able to find me in two or three days. But I do not call God a God who is immune to my authority but cannot find me in three days. I mean... what more important job could you possibly have than someone who resets time? Anyway, my goal hasn't changed. After all, I will need a certain level of power to communicate with the Gods, for better or worse. I don't think the Great Gods will deal with normal people. It's not just physical strength. I probably can't do that anyway. Economic, political and similar forces. I must increase my effectiveness. Maybe a new cult or organization is needed. I have no more witch cultists. Damn it. I didn't realize the benefits of an army of crazy people who even gave up their lives for you until I lost them. But everything is step by step...'

Subaru turned his head to the side and looked at the food on the table. Then he turned to Antares and spoke.

"I think we should start our plans by making Mayonnaise."

And with that the prologue ended. I hope you like. There may have been a few typos, sorry. My English is not very good and I use translation in some places.

Anyway, back to the story. I just want to say that Pridebaru is absolutely underrated. It's probably the most dangerous Subaru.

1) He has more control over Return By Death. In the story, he is not punished when he talks about his cycles. Envybaru was punished for much less.

2) Subaru probably has the most knowledge other than Gluttonybaru and Greedbaru. He claims that he tried every way to kill Reinhard. Also, I think Pridebaru is older than we thought. There doesn't seem to be a limit on the length of loops. One of Aganaubaru's cycles lasted 20 years. There's no way Pridebaru tried to kill Reinhard ten thousand times with his punch. More time is needed to try new things. The same goes for Petelgeuse. It took 400 cycles. In these cycles, when Subaru learns that Petelgeuse can take over bodies, he recruits Elsa. It can be interpreted that this cycle is long enough to make it possible for him to communicate with Elsa. Briefly, let's ignore the fraction and assume that he died 100 thousand times in total. Let each cycle be on average two days long. this makes him approximately 550 years old. and much of that time was spent doing trial and error and searching the Earth to find a way to kill Reinhard.

3) Look at his achievements! It caused a kingdom with a population of approximately 50 million to burn down in a single night. He burned the capital with his own power alone. And when the strongest sword saint is in the capital! By the way, in this story, we will assume that Subaru barely achieved this after a very intense and long preparation, with a very specific method and the help of yin spells. It probably wasn't that hard in reality. but we must limit Subaru's power. Otherwise things will become very easy for him.

There are many more reasons but you get the idea. let's see what is going to happen? I have a few things on my mind. after all, canon is about a year away from launch. I plan for Subaru to strengthen its presence in Liyue and travel to several countries during this period. But unfortunately there won't be a new episode for a few weeks because of my exams. I wrote this section because my last exam went better than I expected. Anyway, see you in a week or two. Meanwhile, you can write down your ideas and make suggestions. How do you think Teyvat will react to this new threat? Or will they be able to notice? Also, please tell me if I'm wrong about Genshin Impact. I've been playing the game for a few months. I'm still scanning the wiki and the game for the story.

Anyway, goodbye.
