What? Honkai: Star Rail Isn't a Game?

Wayne is a seasoned gamer living in a world without miHoYo.

He receives a mysterious package signed by miHoYo. Inside is a supposedly unbelievably realistic, groundbreaking game called Honkai: Star Rail.

Skeptical but curious, Wayne enters the game and discovers it really is as amazing as advertised. He can even learn skills from other games and anime.

And so, from that day on, a strange passenger joins the Astral Express.

March 7th: Wayne is absolutely ridiculous! The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was force me to give him CPR!

Himeko: Please don't just barge into other people's rooms and rummage through their things!

Bronya: There really are no treasure chests in my office!

Tingyun: Benefactor, please don't pinch my ears!

Sushang: Hey! Where are you taking my phoenix?

Fu Hua: Can somebody tell me why there's a follower of the Path of Elation on your Astral Express, which follows the Path of Trailblaze?

Wayne: Hahaha! This game is so realistic!

Everyone: Who told you this was a game?
