"Why... Why?" A soft spoke voice. He had made peace with the fact that he could no longer return to his old world.
He could make peace with the fact that he would have to role-play as Acheron in order to get stronger.
He could make peace with the fact that he had gained her sense of direction, or rather lack of direction.
He looked at the salvaged chocolate bar that had a bite chunk out of it.
This world was too cruel.
Nothing, not taste at all.
Just the sensation and texture of the chocolate, yet the distinct sweetness was lacking.
He sighed as he observed his surroundings before checking his panel.
The starting 1% had unlocked basic swordsmanship and his signature weapon, Naught.
But there was a starting gift an that was a trial card of "Slashed Dream Cries In Red" A one time usage of the ultimate.
Of course his acting was entirely the sole source of his power but rather just like any other character, he had relic slots and his output was based on those relic slots.
Hence right now...
-Jun Yao
-Progress: 1%

"Someone who wandered into this hollow?" A concerned voice rang out, interrupting Jun's thoughts.
"Quick come hide, it'll come any second..." A middle aged man signaled at him to hide together.
For someone who was quite enamored by the world of Honkai Star Rail, her recognised what that man was.
A sin thirster, the man was already dead but still holding onto his obsessions.
A vague memory emerged regarding this man but it was quite a humorous situation being sent to the one game he refused to play.
Hence he knew nothing but the basics his friends had been feeding him from a tube called agenda.
He moved towards the voice and the waving hand, no even before he was a sin thirster. Could this even be considered a human?
A tattered purple cloak, blazing purple flame over his head. "Heatblast mutation?" He thought humorously to himself remembering his childhood and a cartoon named...
Named...
Something 10...
The realisation dawned on him. But he shook his head accepting the new reality as a small sound rang out.
[1.5%]
He thought to himself, Acheron was also a watcher of the river for those who fell into Nihility. He too should take it upon himself to listen to the obsessions of this thirster no?
His thinking stance could be understood by this flaming man, anyone would find it hard to believe some stranger with purple flames instead of a head.
"Hey it's fine I understand just hide fir-" His sentence was interrupted by a shadow looming over the both of them.
"Too late." The flaming man lamented.
Jun could only sigh, a boss straight from the start?
It was large, way too large.
He thought to himself about maybe using his technique in order to insta-kill. But it seemed this counted as an elite boss type mob.
A long blade sheathed in a white scabbard with purple accents appeared in a flash of purple.
Instantly the experience card was used.
He gazed at the monster that seemed to be made out of strange crystals. No matter, this ultimate should be enough to simply wipe out the creature. In a sense it was also fortunate his stats weren't padded lest he wipe out the very planet he was on.
The monster had instantly through some sort of spatial travel arrived right in front of him and the flaming headed man behind him.
Time seemed to still and the environment around them changed.
A black sun appeared beyond the horizon as the world became black and white.
Pitter patter drops of rain fell down on the water beneath them as small crimson underworld flowers flowed by.
A single step forward as his hand gripped Naught and the blade was drawn.
His purple hair bloomed into white and his eyes matched the crimson of the flowers as tears of crimson fell.
Naught was fully unsheathed as the crimson blade struck through space and time with the might of severing all that is nothing.
The monster was completely eradicated with a single blow.
It was because of that flashing strike he had realised what his current state was.
If perhaps he was still normal, he would be beyond happy. He would feel the fervor for this individual that had appeared before him.
He believed humanity would overcome the hollows. But this hope slowly faded and faded away until this hope was ignited once more.
However at the same time,
Outside Hollow Zero.
The city had not yet been completely abandoned.
People still held out hopes that they would be saved.
The rain was wrong, plain wrong.
The sound of rain was real and the sensation of this rain hitting the ground was real, yet there was no real sense of wetness when touching the rain.
The drops of rain pierced the hollow with no interference.
This abnormal state was recorded in a file with no information other than the characteristics.
"Rain of the Underworld."
