Screen Title

I'm in my last class, waiting patiently till it ends so I can go home and play Genshin Impact 5.0. Looking at the clock, I have a few minutes left. I already completed my work, but with a strict no phone policy, I could only wait. Tick, tick, tick. The teacher did nothing. Some students did nothing while others worked or goof off, and I just want someone to shoot up the school.

Ding!

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the school bell rang, and I left in a hurry. Walking out of the school, I made my way home. I pull out the phone to go on YouTube and search for Genshin Impact content. Almost all new videos were about the 5.0 update. I click on some videos like 5 things to know or building Mualani.

After some time of walking, watching, and sweating under the fucking hot ass sun I finally made my way home. Going in, I threw my stuff on the clutch and hydrated myself with some good old hydro. I grabbed some chips and juice and went to my room. I booted up my ps5 and then started my downlanding on Genshin Impact. I immediately hop on my bed and slept cause ain't no way I'm waiting for hours of doing nothing.

Later, I work up to an unknown time, though I can tell it's been a while since it's nighttime. Rubbing my eyes for a bit, I looked over to my ps5 and saw there were only a few minutes left till it's complete. I left my room to the kitchen and saw a plate of food on the table. Sitting down and eating it, I filled my hunger that I never had. Checking on my phone, I realized that I had a missed call from my mom. So I called her.

Ring, ring, ring... she didn't answer. Oh well, that's not a big deal. I got up, and after putting my mess away, I went back to my room to play. Sitting on my chair and opening Genshin Impact, it started to download the last bit of data. So I sat there and waited when my mom finally called me.

Mother: "Hey, are you awake now?"

Oc: "Wouldn't be if I wasn't calling you"

Mother: "What are you doing now?"

I stare at the screen. My ps5 is currently downloading Genshin Impact 5.0, and there is less than a minute left. It's been 3 long years since then, and I am excited for the update.

Oc: "Not much, why,"

Mother: "Me and your cousins are going to be away for the weekend, and we need you to take care of the babies again."

Oc: "Again? You do this every week, you know."

Mother: "Ans you refusing to go on with us, it wouldn't help to spend time with your family and cousins."

Oc: "Yeah, I keep rejecting it, but I don't care that you go out every weekend, but that doesn't mean I want to take care of the babies."

Mother: "What about the family part? Don't you want to spend some time with us?"

Oc: "Nah, I'm good."

Mother: "Alright, your older cousin will be there to drop off the babies, kay?"

Oc: "Kay."

Mother: "Love you."

Oc: "...bye."

After that I hung up the call and saw that my ps5 had completed downloading, and I could finally play the game after however long I waited. Pressing X, the weird magical door opened, and it blinded my eyes.

Opening my eyes, I seem to be on a regular beach between two mountains. I was lying down on the sand.

"What?"

I just can't comprehend what just happened, I was on a chair, a controller in hand, and was in my dark room alone. Looking around, it was bright, there were two slimes off in the distance, and that's it? I remember this scene very well. It's where the traveler first started their journey with a little fairy.

"This is just like the start of the game..."

Except I didn't fight no unknown god in the sky with my sister. So I don't know what the heck to do. I just wanted to play, not solve all the nations' problems, though technically speaking, I don't have to, actually. I look at myself and notice a few changes, I got some cool ass muscle. Don't know why, but I'll take it. Alongside some sick ass clothes, I feel stronger already.

"Hmm?"

I, for some reason, don't have any weapons on me. Though I shouldn't expect to have a weapon on me when I don't know what the hell is going on. Wanting to play games till the door just isekai me to this world.

Standing up, I immediately noticed something wrong. I don't feel the sensation, I don't feel itchy down, and I feel so empty now. So I pulled down my pants or jeans or whatever I call this fashion of clothing and saw that I have no genitals.

"Nooooooooo"

This is so disappointing... Wait, how the hell am I supposed to piss? Will I... now is not the time to have an existential crisis, I can deal with it later when it becomes a much bigger problem. Ignoring the fact I have nothing down there, it's time to start my adventure. Maybe I can even get a harem. Ignoring that, I have nothing down there again.

I have to think of all the possibilities right now. I don't know what time this takes place. Does it take place around 5.0 or before? Does this last forever? As in, am I in this world permanently? If I change the world in some way or another, does it reflect the game in real life? ...What happened to my real life self?

This feels like questioning what happens after death. Asking pointless questions that have no answer. Right now, I can only try to mimic what the traveler does in the game. Looking around, I see a waypoint and walk towards it.

Walking along the obvious one only direction path, the hydro slimes were getting closer. Looking at it now, it's so creepy. They're the size of a regular child. I never realized this, and now I somewhat understand why the knights of favonius are so inefficient.

"!!"

The hydro slimes spotted me and then hoped towards me. Getting ready for battle, I did a little,"Hya!" But instead of it hurting the water droplets, it felt like I just put my hand in a pool of water.

"Ugh..."

Now it feels gross, really slimy. I tried to pull my arm back, but the slime wouldn't allow me. "Huh?" I pulled back even harder; it felt like it was sicking me in. Then a weird effect started kicking in. My breathing quickly became ragged, my vision blurred, and my body movements slowed. This feeling was similar to drowning. Why is this happening?

"*Slime noises*"

The other slime then proceeded to hop on my legs to ensnare me. I now have one arm and leg trapped. "Fucking shit!" They were heavy and I fell down on the ground. I tried to kick them while crawling away. Nothing worked, and the two slimes were slowly covering my whole body. The first slime covers my whole arm up to my shoulder and half of my chest, the second covers my whole leg and covers some of my waist. I can't do this, I can't do this , I'm gonna die! In a last ditch attempt, I grabbed some sand and threw it at the slimes, which seemed to work as they began to shrinkle.

"*Breathing heavily and pants*"

Shaking my leg and arm from them, I was gradually getting them off. So I threw even more sand till they were completely off of me. After being freed, I quickly took several steps back to catch my breath. The two hydro slimes now with sand covering its outside body roll down the sand to the ocean or lake.

"Motherfucker..."

The sands fell off the hydro slimes and grew to their original size. "Ah hell, nah." After experiencing that almost short death experience, there was no way I was gonna fight those slimes again. So I just left and ran away from them. Thankfully, those slimes were slow, and I was able to leave them behind. Making my way towards the way point, I went up to and touched it like a bean bag. The way point then rises above and glows into a blue way point.

"Does this mean the time takes place at the start of the game?"

I don't have any frame of reference to use, and I'm just gonna assume it's at the start of the game. Continuing on, I walk the path of dirt that leads to a small rock wall or however you call it. I climb over it, walking along. I pass by a waterfall, some trees, fruit like Sunsettia, and a flower like Calla Lily. I picked a few to take with me. Finally making my way to a cliff to where the adventure started.

"You know this place is incredibly beautiful."

I can see the statue of the seven and the city of freedom, Mondstadt. Taking three steps back, I ran and jumped off the cliff only to realize that A I don't have a wind glider and B, even if I did, I wouldn't know how to use it. So I fell for three seconds and hit the floor.

"AAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!"

It hurts so fucking much. My legs are twisted, they're bleeding, the bones are out, and I can't do anything but scream.

"AAAAAIIIIEEEEE FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT SHIT BITCH!"

I only just began my adventure slash journey and this is how it ends? This is so fucking pathetic. Maybe the idea of waiting for my cousin to arrive so I have to take care of them wasn't so bad after all.

"*Breathing rapidly*"

I can see my blood coming out of the hole on my legs that was cut through by my bones. I can see my bones twisting abnormally, with a few cuts and scratches on it. The pain was getting less tolerable. I am in pain.

"*Ugly ass sobs*"

It hurts so much. Why was I this stupid? I just want this to be a stupid dream, but I'm not waking up.

Moving my body to lay my back on the ground, I look up to the sky. I'm probably gonna die. No one is here out far away from the city. Yeah, I'm dead.

"*Breathing deeply*"

I'm... I'm just gonna lay here and sleep. I do want to die, but there's nothing I can do. I'm still too scared, but I'm just pathetic. I don't want to sleep, but the pain is making me sleepy.

"..."

...If I'm gonna die, then the only thing I want is to not fear it. Cause I don't want to have any negative feelings at the end of my day. Closing my eyes, I'm pretending that I'm gonna sleep and will wake up tomorrow.

...

..

.

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was that the sun was still out. How am I still alive? Looking down at my legs, the mess was still there. Blood, bones, and a twisted leg. The pain came back. It hurts so much now.

"Fuck fuck fuck"

The pain wasn't as bad as it was before but it's still very painful. Looking around, I see I don't have anything I can do to do something about my leg. Hurts so much. Even if something was there, I wouldn't be able to move still. I don't want to die. I spotted a Sunsettia. Was this the same Sunsettia I picked up earlier? Ouch. I picked the Sunsettia, I don't think this game mechanic works, but it's the only thing I can even do now.

"*Crunch*"

I bit into the Sunsettia and swallowed it. The pain became more tolerable, for some reason. I continued to eat the Sunsettia till there was none left. The pain is now tolerable to an extent. Wait, does that mean that if I go to the statue of the seven, I can heal my legs? Though I still couldn't walk. Looking up to the sky, I'm guessing only a few hours have passed since then. Looking around, it was just either the wall of the cliff I jumped from or a forest.

...

I chose to crawl through the forest. It wasn't easy. Sometimes, my leg scraped through the grass ground, causing me pain. My body still felt weak, so I was basically using all of my strength to just crawl. It was very exhausting, getting more weary, I don't know how long I can keep it up. I crawl my way through the forest, slowly passing some trees and bushes. Finally, after what felt like forever or my brain playing tricks on me. I was out of the forests, which I could barely classify as one and see the statue of the seven.

"*Deep breaths*"

The statue was in the middle of a pond, meaning that I had to swim over there. I was still tired, but the pond was so deep that I could drown easily, I think? ... slowly crawling to the water. I made tiny steps? I made tiny moves to go further, bit by bit I gotten further, I slung my arm forward in sync with my other arm to swim. My legs floated on top of the water behind me. Halfway there, I continued, and it was getting harder to breathe as some water would go up to my mouth or nose, and I involuntarily shook my head.

"*Splash*" Finally getting across the pond I made it to the statue of the seven tiny island. I crawled to the statue, and once there, I stuck my hand out and reached over to touch it. The statue began to glow, and my legs began to heal. My bones went back in place, my blood stopped leaking, my legs untwisted itself, and the pain finally stopped. I touch my leg for reassurance. Then I stood up.

"Sigh..."

I can move now, and as an added bonus, I don't feel tired now. Holy fucking shit. It feels so good. I looked over past the statue of the seven and saw that my next direction was Whispering Woods.

...Wait, wasn't I supposed to get elemental powers like the traveler? I don't know what conditions I need to fill out to get it, but I'm pretty sure that I am mostly qualified? Wait, thinking about it now, I have no idea of the traveler's origins. What did the traveler do in the past? ...wwahahaha, I just wanted some anemo powers. Sigh... no use crying about it, sniff.

"*Slime noise*"

Looking back, I see 4 pyro slimes popped out of nowhere. I don't know what the fuck happened but I don't need to be stupid to know fire is more dangerous than water.

"*Spewt*"

Two of the four pyro slimes suddenly shoot out lava balls at me and hit me.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK IIITT BUUUURRRRNNNNSSS!"

This is so painful right now. This hurts way more than the fall I took. My entire body is in pain. My arms are melting off. No, wait, not just my arms, my body too. My legs are melting, and it hurts so much. My chest is melting, and it hurts so much. My stomach is melting, and this is the most amount of pain I have ever experienced in my entire life. My body is melting, and I want to die right now so it can end.

"AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE"

It hurts so much that the moment my body was melting, I fell on the ground. Why is this happening again twice on the same day? I can see my skin falling, seeing that made me feel incredibly gross. I want to throw up. It's so disgusting to watch my body melt away. Why was my face not hit? I don't want to smell, see, or hear my body melt away. Please, God, please kill me. It's painful, I don't want to deal with this.

"*pyro slimes noise*"

I can see the pyro slimes hopping around like a bunch of children. Please let me die. I can see the statue. If I touch it again, will it still heal me? Fuuuccckkk, I can't take this fucking pain. I roll over my body towards it, wanting the pain to end. I hate my life, I wish I had joined my family and not ended up in this stupid ass game! Slowly, my body made a contract with the statue, and my entire body began to heal once more. The pain finally ended.

"*Deep breaths*"

Getting up again, I can see the pyro slimes are still hopping around. I'm so scared, I'm so scared is all I can think now. Not moving for a few seconds I finally made the conscious decision to leave. I turn my back towards the fucking slimes and leap into the pond. I swam away from the fucking slimes and made it out faster than in. I look at my body to see if there's anything wrong with it. For some reason my clothes stayed the same, it didn't burnt, get dirty, or even wet for some reason?

"What the fuck?"

It's so surreal, it doesn't even make a lick of sense. Touching my clothes, I don't feel cold or hot which is even stranger. Well... I guess this doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I don't have to pay money for clothes now. Hopefully the clothes smell won't change. Looking back I can see a dirt path that leads to Whispering Woods. Knowing that path leads to Mondstadt I took the path and began walking with more caution. I didn't need that caution as there were no slimes in the Whispering Woods. I can see some Mushrooms and Small Lamp Grass which I happily took some. I was finally getting to the end of the woods when I heard a strange female voice.

???: "Hey you, stop right there!"

I saw some red girl mostly dressed in red and with bunny ears on top jumped from my left side, rolled over and stood up proudly. She then put a hand over her chest and said.

???: "May the anemone God protect you stranger."

I stare at her a bit shocked and a bit confused.

Amber: "I am Amber, Outrider for the Knights of Favonius."

...Oh right, this is what she first said when she met the traveler for the first time. Though now I don't have a talking, flying fairy with me.

Amber: "You don't look like a citizen of Mondstadt. Explain yourself!

Oc: "I mean no harm, I'm just a regular innocent human being."

Amber: "That's what all the trouble makers say."

Same response huh?

Righter: "My name is Righter..."

I can't think of anything to say after my name. Wait a second. If this is happening right now then does that mean I'm starting at the beginning of the game? Or does she say this to anyone who comes here.

Amber: "Doesn't sound like a local name to me."

Righter: "Probably because I'm not local."

Amber: "So you're a foreigner?"

Righter: "Basically, yeah."

Amber: "I see, you shouldn't be here, Hilichurls roam around these parts."

Thank God I didn't end up with them. I couldn't fight against a slime, what could I do against a Hilichurl?

Amber: "It's best I take you to Mondstadt, it's not far from here. I will escort you there."

Righter: "Thank you."

Amber: "Don't take that meaning I trust you now. You're still suspicious."

Ouch rude, oh wait does she say this in the game too? I think she does.

Righter: "That's a bit rude to a stranger, don't you think?"

Amber: "oh, ahh... I'm sorry. Probably I shouldn't say that as a knight."

She stutters a bit before continuing.

Amber: "I give you my apologies uhh... strange yet... respectable travelers."

Righter: "... I take what I can get."

Amber: "Hey! I gave the appropriate response that was prescribed by the Knights of Favonius handbook."

Amber then personally escorted me towards Mondstadt. While on the way there.

Amber: "So suspicious traveler, what are you doing here in Mondstadt?"

Righter: "I was... forced to leave my home after an incident."

Ain't gonna tell here I was isekai from another world.

Amber: "Oh... your home... ahh...[After a moment] okay! Let me finish my mission first. Then I can take you to Mondstadt and help you find a place to stay."

Righter: "Thanks, I haven't had the best of luck. Though was it something that you needed to do first?"

I already know what it is though.

Amber: "You see, you soon understand why they call me an Outrider."

Did she say this? I don't think so. I followed her while we both walked in silence. Well it wasn't completely silent, because Amber was humming along to a song which I'm pretty sure is one of Mondstadt ost. Soon we arrived at a hilichurl camp.

Amber: "There are these monsters that roam outside of Mondstadt. My task is to clear their camp.

I hid behind a stone

Righter: "Is it alright for me to stay behind? I'm not really a fighter.

Amber: "Don't worry, I can protect you. So stay at a safe distance away."

While I hid behind a stone Amber took the hilichurls. She first threw a baron bunny at the innermost circle of the camp before shooting it with her arrow which immediately caused it to explode killing all within its proximity. The final hilichurl on some tower looking thing fell off from the blast which Amber quickly eliminated with a shot to its face.

Righter: "Wow."

Amber: "Heh, nothing to it."

Righter: "Was that all you needed to do?"

Amber: "Yup, as a responsible knight, I must see you to the city safely."

Walking back to the dirt path, which then transitions into a stone bridge. Amber continues to hum a bit before speaking up.

Amber: "So which nation were you born from?"

How do I respond to this? Do I A, choose a random nation of this world? B, say I'm not from a specific region and instead say I'm from a rural place? Or C, defect the question?

Righter: "I uh... don't want to talk about it."

C, Deflect the question.

Amber: "Oh... I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring up sensitive topics."

Rigther: "It's okay, you didn't know."

Amber: "..."

Now, this is just awkward. On the bridge, the birds flew away from us and I could see a very sad Timmie in the corner of my eyes. Soon we made it and entered Mondstadt.

Amber: "Let me officially introduce to you to the city of wind, dandelions and freedom. Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonius, welcome to Mondstadt.

Righter: "This place looks amazing. Lots of people too"

Amber: "Of course, Mondstadt is an amazing place where the people have the freedom to do whatever they please, and I guess the large number of people here was because a crisis was solved."

Righter: "Crisis?"

Is it the dragon? Divalin or whatever it's called?

Amber: "Yup, you see not too long ago Dvalin was hypnotized by some abyss mages and went crazy. But thanks to an outlander we were able to solve the crisis shortly afterwards.

Rigther: "I see..."

Huh... the traveler is here, and guessing by this time of reference I appeared maybe a week after the traveler.

Amber: "Anyways let me show you around the houses."

She then took off like a rabbit but I wasn't as fast as her so I had trouble keeping up. We reviewed several houses together, spoke with several real estate agents. Before ultimately settling on one house.

Rigther: "So this is it?"

Amber: "This is it."

The house we're looking on had a hydro seal on.

Righter: "I can't help but feel like it's sealed."

Amber: "Yeah, it is sealed."

Righter: "Do you know anyone who could break the seal?"

Amber: "Hmm, not at the top of my head no."

We need a Mona. But where are we gonna find her?

???: "So this is the house you mentioned, traveler?

Looking back I saw Mona and... what the fuck the fucking traveler? So wait Mona story quest takes place after a week? Wait no, I actually don't know how much time passes since the traveler first appeared and mine.

Traveler: "Yeah, you can even see the seal right there."

Amber: "Oh! Hey traveler, how's it going?"

Traveler: "Good as always."

(At this part of the story you can imagine a male traveler or female traveler. I won't be using either pronouns and just use the term "traveler")

Paimon: "Hey don't forget about Paimon too!"

Amber: "Heh sorry, how are you doing Paimon?"

Paimon: "Paimon is doing great, thank you for asking. So what brings you here and this guy?"

Amber: "Oh you see, he's a foreigner and he's having trouble finding a place to stay so I recommend him here.

Mona: "You are aware of this house seal, right?

Righter: "We only discovered that just now, yes."

Mona: "Well well if you allow me to break the seal please?"

Me and Amber look back at each other before stepping off the stairs to let her do her own thing.

Mona: "Hmm the person who places the seal is by no means simple. Breaking this seal by force is nigh on impossible."

Mona continued to rumble on some more talking, yapping, basically wasting her breath until she finally broke the seal.

Mona: "Alright it's open."

Paimon: "Holy moley that's amazing. Now you need to report back to Katheryne and you will be able to stay here.

Righter: "Huh?"

Paimon: "Sorry about that righter but right now she needs a place to stay."

Righter: "Ah... so she's like me... homeless."

Mona: "Hey! I'm not homeless, I just merely not currently occupying a place right now."

Then an old ass man spoke out of nowhere.

???: "No need, no need , you have my utmost thanks."

Mona: "You are?"

Goth: "oh, I'm goth. Katheryne...

(I'm not writing Allat)

Mona: "Does that mean I can stay here?

Goth: "Of course of course the facility inside was just left being there. I would be glad to have someone make use of them."

Mona had a face that looked like a child receiving a Christmas present.

Goth: "To express my thanks, I shall rent this building to the lowest possible price."

Her face quickly changed to that of shock and confused.

Mona: "R-rent!? I didn't hear about that, and help out too."

I whisper over to the traveler

Righter: "Why's she freaking out? Isn't she getting this place for cheap?

I already know why, I just wanted the traveler to say it.

Traveler: "Well, you see, she's not exactly rich per say."

Heh

Goth: "-best rate."

Mona: "I-... I mean..."

Paimon: "Paimon thinks Mona misunderstood something."

Traveler: "Save a little here, scrimp a little there, and you'll be fine."

Mona: "*Sigh* I guess I'll rent this place."

Goth: "Great, we agree, I will prepare the documentation, so stay right there."

That old wrinkle man then left very slowly.

Mona: "Thanks for your help. Also I'm very sorry but unfortunately I won't be able to help just yet. Without necessary tools and without new knowledge, it will take some time to see your destiny clearly."

Me and Amber look at each other a bit perplexed. I wasn't really confused. I already kinda knew everything, but I have to act like a dummy.

Righter: "Do you know what she's talking about?"

Amber: "No idea. Also, I don't know who she is, either."

Righter: "I see, but what do we do about my housing problem?"

Amber: "Uhh... I'm sure we can figure something out, right?"

After finishing our short conversation, I noticed the traveler and Paimon had left like 3 seconds ago and were off to the side while Mona was still on her dock.

Mona: "So what are you still two doing here?"

Amber: "I'm helping find this guy a place to stay. Hey, do you mind if you allow him to stay with you? We already searched before coming here."

I didn't think of that possibility, but I like the agreement already. But I bet she's gonna make me pay for all her rent.

Mona: "Hmm... Well, I guess I could allow him under two conditions."

Righter: "Which are?"

Mona: "...Don't mess with my astrology tools, and you pay your fair share of rent."

Righter: "How much and isn't the rent supposed to be cheap?"

Mona: "Just because the rent isn't high doesn't mean you live with me rent free, and for how much?... I say half."

Righter: "I'll take it!"

Mona: "Good, good, you are not dumb as other people."

Righter: "..."

Amber: "Well... since you're in good hands, I'll take my leave, come find me if you ever need help."

She promptly left shortly afterward. Me and Mona waited for the old Goth guy to come back. During this time, I introduced ourselves to each other, telling her my name and just my name. She told me hers too. Though she did a reading on me and gave me a horrified expression. I'm guessing she saw my future? Which is not a good thing for me.

Mona: "From now on, if you ever require my assistance, I will gracefully lend you aid."

Righter: "Thanks..."

For her to say that out of nowhere, something must have happened in the future for her to say that. Waiting a bit more, the goth guy came back with some papers. A bit of her writing her name on some contracts we finally claim the house [In her name of course] and went inside. It was quite a sizable home. Though there were multiple astrology stuff laying around.

Mona: "I deal with the items at hand. You will dust off the mess and clean, too."

Righter: "Got it."

Give her orders to me. I got a broom and a duster to get rid of the dust. Taking my sweet time to clean the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and the conveniently two rooms we had to perfection. With some progress done. I asked Mona for directions.

Righter: "What now?"

Mona: "Hand me the duster. I shall clean my astrology tools while you may note what we have and report back to me."

Righter: "Got it."

I handed her the duster, and she went to her room to do her own cleaning. Standing in the living room, I reviewed what we have... not much to say. There were shelves of books, but it was only half empty or half full. We had a couch, a table, and that's pretty much it. Looking in the kitchen, there was a bit more. We had an old style of stove, cabinets, tables, and small storage room for food, I'm assuming. Opening the storage door, there was no food. "Shit." Reviewing again, I noticed there was no fridge. It's probably because the fridge isn't a thing yet. Making sure I got everything down, I went over to Mona room and knocked.

Righter: "Hey Monaaaa!"

Mona: "*replying in a unamused tone* Yesss?"

Righter: "We got no food."

Mona: "Huh?! What did you mean!?"

I heard footsteps coming, and the door slammed wide open, revealing a frightened Mona.

Righter: "Yeah, I checked the kitchen, and we got no food."

Mona: "Do you have at least any mora?"

Righter: "...Do you not have mora too?"

Mona: "...AAAAGGGHHHHHH!"

She screamed as if she was dying before falling to the ground. She had tears coming out of her eyes as they turned red.

Righter: "It's not that bad. We can always come up with ways to make money, right?

Mona: "Not that bad? How are we gonna pay for food? How are we gonna pay for rent? How am I gonna continue my astrology research?"

Righter: "Mmm... besides that last one, I can definitely see how no mora is a problem."

Mona then stood up, sniffled her face a bit, looked at me, and then started pushing me to the door.

Righter: "Hey! What are you doing?

Mona: "You're a man, right? You have to get a job and provide for us!"

Righter: "Now that's sexist! Why don't we get a job together?"

Mona: "This is my house! And the condition was that you pay for half, now get a job!"

Opening the door, she roughly pushed me out and slammed the door hard. Now I'm really homeless now. Sigh... it's still sunny, so I can probably look for a job still. Thinking back on the game, I could get a job at either Dawn Winery or Diona shop cat business. Wait, how am I gonna apply without a background? Ugh... I think I need Amber's help now. Leaving Mona's house, I walked around Mondstadt looking for Amber but couldn't find her.

"Come find me my ass I can't find you if I don't know where you are."

Going to Hunter's Good, she wasn't there, Going to the church, she wasn't found, going to the Knights of Favonius Amber was unfound. I don't know any other places so she could possibly be. So I sat outside of Angel's Share on a chair. While slumping down, I heard a commotion.

???: "Hey! It's rude to reject a customer service!"

Venti!? I'm just surprised to see him so soon, not that he's at Angel's Share.

???: "I'll say it's rude to intrude in a business where you have no business in."

Diluc! Now I'm surprised to see many characters all in one day. I watched as Diluc dropped Venti on the floor and went back inside the tavern.

Venti: "Hmph! How rude. *stands up and sits next to me.* Hey, do you think you would donate a mora to an unfortunate bard?"

Righter: "Sorry, I also got no mora, too."

Venti: "Ah! It seems like we're both in quite the predicament I see."

Righter: "Flat broke?"

Venti: " Heh, I wouldn't call it that way."

Righter: "Then how would you call it?"

Venti: "I call it... not having a desire for wealth."

I honestly forgot a lot of things about Venti, so I can't validate his words.

Rigther: "That just sounds like you don't want to be employed."

Venti: "I can assure not having a desire for material wealth and no desire for employment are two completely things."

Righter: "I refute that. Though is that all you came here for? To beg for mora and chat with me?"

Venti: "I wasn't begging, I was just asking. I wanted to chat with you because you seem different.

Righter: "Different?"

What? That came out of nowhere? Though he is a god so he's not stupid.

Venti: "Yeah, like you're special. I don't know how to explain it any further. "

Special my ass. I almost died twice in one day... I almost died twice... I almost died...

Venti: "I'm sure you'll be amazing one day. May the anemo God bless your adventure."

Righter:"..."

...

After that he gave me a smile and left.

Such a short conversation and a seemingless meaningless conversation.

These words were not gonna change me. There's no way I'm ever gonna adventure after what literally happened within the next few minutes of my short arrival here. What can I do anyway? The most I ever do is be a slave to a 9-5 job here, going home to do some chores, playing around a bit, and going to sleep. How could I ever be special when I don't have anything special... and I don't want to hear anyone say it's because I'm not special or that I don't need to be special or all those special words to me.

...Do I self loath a lot? ... Get those negative thoughts about myself out of my head. I'm just normal, and there's nothing wrong with being in the majority. Because if everyone's special, then that would be considered normal then.

(Jesus christ stop getting all philosophical and get to writing)

Getting up from the chair, I left the angel share tavern and headed to a place similar to this. I'm going to the cat shop that has amazing drinks and cats to pet. Walking past Flora or whatever the kid's name is that sells flowers. I walk up the stairs and see the shop's title name, The Cat's Tails. So that's what they called, huh? Before entering, I saw a billboard stand that read, "Currently hiring" at the top. Too convenient, I thought. I knocked a few times before entering and saw all types of people [Not Kids) having a blast with the drink and petting those cats. I walk up to the receptionist or bartender? Potato, potato same thing.

Righter: "Hey, uh... I saw your billboard that you were currently hiring, and I wanted to say I was interested in working."

She has a tag on her shirt, which reads out her name. "Margaret".

Margaret: "Ah, I see, then hold on. I'll be right back."

She then left for another room. Leaving me alone for a short time and coming back with an application paper.

Margaret: "Fill out this form at home and come back once you fill out, and we will write to you to let you know if you're hired or not."

Huh... thought it would be easier. But it seems like it's just like in the real world. I took the paper reply with a "Thanks" and left to head to my house. The house, which is Mona. When I went there and tried to enter, it was locked, so I banged it.

Knock, bang, whack, clang, smack.*

Mona: "Hold on, I'm coming...*The door opens with Mona showing a slight surprise reaction for a short moment.* Ah, it's you..."

Righter: "Yeah, it's me. *I gave her an awkward smile before showing her the application.* You see, I kinda need help with this..."

Mona just gave me an unreadable expression for a few seconds before sighing.

Mona: "Fine, come inside, I guess."

Rigther: "Thanks."

I happily allow myself in. Taking a seat on the couch, I placed my application on the table. Mona took a seat beside me before asking.

Mona: "So... what do you need help with?

Righter: "All of this!

I pointed most of the questions one by one, like children telling their parents to help them with their math homework.

Mona: "... All of this."

Righter: "Yup. All of these."

Mona: "...*Sigh*... Just fill out the one you can do and ask me again.

Taking her word I…

Righter: "I need a pencil."

Mona: "..."

She shook her head before going to her room. I can't help but feel she's getting more tired of me by the minute. She came back shortly afterwards and handed me a cool looking pencil. So that's when I actually started to fill something out. I filled out my name, wrote my birth date, marked wanting a full time job, answered no to having done no crimes, and wrote that I only had a high-school education.

Mona: "Alright give me the pencil I'll do the rest."

Now it became awkward. Having a girl fill out your application is not a good look and I can imagine her not liking it one bit. She spent around 10 minutes writing the rest of the application form. The silence during the whole time was killing me. Once she was done she handed me the paper.

Mona: "Here, take it."

Righter: "Thanks again."

I took my important paper and left the house. Walking back go The Cat's Tails I handed Margaret my application paper. She happily took it said she letter me tomorrow. Quite a short journey I must say. Because now I'm back at Mona house pretty much doing nothing.

Righter: "So wait what are we gonna eat?"

Mona: "Oh…right the food problem. *sad expression face* Do you have ingredients we can use?"

Righter: "Well… I got this *I pull out some Mushrooms, Sunsettia, Mint, and a fowl from who knows where I got it, and place it on the table*"

Mona: "I can make do with these."

She only take the mushrooms and fowl before going to the kitchen to make something. I honestly have no idea what she's gonna make with those two ingredients. I can hear the sound of fire being lit up, the clang sound effect of a pot, and the sound of brewing boiling food. It's quite cool how those sounds is the same in game. Wait a second, I'm in game aren't I? She soon came back after a minute and handed me two sticks of food.

Mona: "Here take it."

Righter: "Thanks again. I don't what I ever do without you."

Mona: "... No problem."

We both ate our food which turn out to be called "Chicken Mushroom Skewer". After eating I decided to strike up a conversation because it was still sunny out. Mona and I had a productive conversation getting to know one and another. We also share stories about our past weather it be embarrassing or funny.

Righter: "So when do we need to pay for rent?"

Mona: "Ah, about that we're living here rent free for the next two months. So until then we only need to worry about the shortage of food."

Righter: "So why the heck you kick me out and told me to get a job to quote on quote par my fair share?"

Mona: "I was only encouraging you, you know?"

Seems like we don't have to worry about rent for quite a while then. Though I really wish she didn't push me out, did she think I'll be lazy if I did knew? Thinking back I probably be lazy if I did knew so I guess thank her for that. But I won't say it to her and only will think about it in my thoughts. Later the sun began to set.

Righter: "Hey Mona do we have any shampoo, conditioner, or any bathroom related stuff?

Mona: "I got my own stuff you can use."

Righter: "Oh, thanks.

Bathroom this bathroom that. I won't describe how I clean myself. Brush brush brush. Sharing my thoughts about the bathroom will be a one time thing. With that I head to my room to take a day worth of rest.

"Ahh…"

The floor is cold and hard. I don't even have a blanket to cover myself. Once I get hired and paid life won't be so hard. Thinking back my first time out adventuring and seeing slimes or falling of a cliff was the most horrifying experience of my first day here. It hurts so much and it was so scary. I don't want to go adventure out. I want stay in bed and have someone pat my back telling me everything is gonna be okay. I want to go back to the real world play Genshin Impact. I wish I was a kid again and the most important think I consider was my two parents who were everything. I just want to be happy I don't know.

(Reading all of this now that it's completed. It's horrible I don't even know why I even decided to write in the first place. I guess I wanted to, but it's just so horrible. I don't know if I can continue to write it. Maybe once I'm not shit at writing I continue. Hope you enjoy it.)
