In the continent of Teyvat, a beam of light appeared in the Trunset. Trunset looked around at the place he had emerged in; it was an advanced city, so much so that it felt like he had returned to Earth. Thinking about it made him smile a terrifying smile. "Looks like I really am not dreaming," he thought. He remembered the ability he had chosen: it was the celestial power worthy of heaven and earth, granted to him for blessing. He had claimed the city of disorder and the river of darkness for himself.
Then, he recalled the mysterious system that had accompanied him; he wanted to know if it was still present. "System?"
{Yes, host.}
He sighed. "I thought I got rid of you."
{That is not possible, host. Once I merged with you, we became one.}
There was nothing he could do about it.
"Do you have a stats function?"
{Yes, host.}
{Stats:
Name: Trunset Tudor
True name: UNKNOWN
Abilities: Sequence 4 Bizzaro Sorcerer, Secret Sorcerer, Parasite Sequence 8 Barbarian, Sheriff Sequence 9 Sleepless, Warrior, and Corpse Collector
Symbolism: Not obtained
Celestial worthy powers: 15%}
"This is better than I thought," he said with a hint of satisfaction.
Getting started with three Sequence 4 abilities meant he could at least reach Archon-level strength, albeit at a low level, as he wouldn't survive Zhongli's meteors being thrown at him.
"I need to know the stats of Khaenri'ah."
A screeching sound interrupted him.
"Who's there?" He scanned the trees beside him, and someone suddenly appeared.
A woman stepped out; she had brown hair (I can't really describe her well, just imagine her). Trunset was ready to either fight or make a run for it, but the woman raised her hands and said, "I don't want to fight; calm down"
"What do you think? I'm going to believe you? You were spying on me just a moment ago!"
She sighed. "You know it's hard not to stop and look at someone who's talking to themselves. I thought you were crazy, well, I still do, but I wanted to help."
Wait, oh right, she can't see the system window. "Then why are you alone in the forest?"
"I was looking for something for my next experiment. An alchemist always runs out of materials." An alchemist from Khaenri'ah... No way... Could it be she is...
Trunset smiled and said, "Dear lady, may I know your name?"
"Rhinedottir."
Trunset's mind raced. He remembered the lore about Rhinedottir. She was one of the five Sinners of Khaenri'ah, code name Gold, and one of the best, if not the best, alchemists in Teyvat. She had created Albedo using just alchemy and had ties to the Hexenzirkel.
"Can you stop looking at me?"
"Oh yes, sorry."
**Rhinedottir's POV:**
I looked at the strange man who had emerged from a light beam. He had weird glowing red eyes. Is he, by any chance, a descendant of the Crimson Moon Dynasty? No, they had a red 'X' on their eyes—he couldn't be one of them. Yet he seemed to recognize me, though he didn't look like someone from Khaenri'ah. That light beam he came out of—could it be the legendary light element? No, impossible. That didn't feel like elemental energy; it felt divine. He might be the person we have been looking for—a decender
. That would explain how he has powers that don't come from the elements. I need to know more, but I must stay cautious.
"Would you like to come with me to the city?"
He put a hand on his chin. "Hmmm, why not? Lead the way." He started walking.
Wow... I thought he would remain mysterious. I didn't expect him to be so easygoing. Could it be I was just seeing things due to overwork, and thought there was a light beam? No, that was real for sure. Wait, he probably wants me to let my guard down. Damn, I almost fell for it. What a cunning guy; I must not let my guard down.
