You Asked Me to Write Genshin Impact, So Why Did I Write Sword Art Online?

Su Mo transmigrates from another world.

Through a series of mishaps, he becomes one of the contestants in a novel-writing competition!

Without a golden finger, he draws Genshin Impact as his assigned topic.

There is no such game as Genshin Impact in his world.

So he knows very little about it.

But inspired by the on-screen comments, he recalls an anime from the world he lived in before.

And so he begins to write.

The future, in 2042...

Humanity finally makes a breakthrough in virtual reality technology...

The most creative company, miHoYo, releases the world's first VR game, Sword Art Genshin Impact!

On the day of the open beta,

the protagonist discovers that there is no way to log out of the game.

The game designer, Liu Wei, explains what has happened.

All the players are plunged into panic and despair.

From now on, every means of revival in the game will no longer work.

Once their HP reaches zero, not only will their in-game character die, but they will also die in the real world.

The only way to leave this world is to defeat the boss at the summit of Teyvat: the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles...

And so a game of life and death begins...
