Honkai: Star Rail: Why Are They in the Simulations Too?!

(This novel is complete with over 10,000 paid subscribers, so read without worry.)

After installing a life-simulation game, Ron, who in reality was just an ordinary Silvermane Guard working nine to five, became so engrossed that he neglected food and sleep, throwing himself into a marathon of gaming...

In the simulations, he was Bronya's most loyal bodyguard. To stop Cocolia from using the Stellaron to destroy Belobog, he sacrificed himself and became a shooting star alongside the Stellaron. He was Natasha's most reliable assistant, researching "snowstorm immunity" with her to save Belobog, then praying for the benevolence of the Abundance when Abominations of Abundance ran rampant. He was also Herta's most brilliant collaborator. Facing a crisis that could bring the entire star sea to ruin, he gathered the hopes of the whole cosmos into a grand wish to save the world, and donned the crown of an Aeon.

He had thought it was all just a game, and that he was its only player, until...

Watching the girls obtain divine cards in the game such as [Purge Protocol: Ron], [Mark of Salvation: Ron], and [Embers Beyond Death: Ron], he stared in astonishment. "So you aren't NPCs?"

"Wait! Then who is the player?!"
