Honkai: Star Rail: I Elbow the Chicken Away and Rewrite Cerydra’s Fate

Qi Ji transmigrated, landing in Aedes Elysiae, a place destined to be swallowed by the Dark Tide. The good news was that he knew every hidden truth about Amphoreus. The bad news was that he was merely a fragment of marginal data that could be deleted by Lygus at any moment. Faced with a dead end of thirty million cycles, the most rational choice should have been to lie low and survive. But the light in the pink-haired girl's eyes when she handed him her notebook was simply too bright to ignore.

To rewrite Cyrene's fate, he first had to rip all of Amphoreus out of its nested loops. That meant Qi Ji would have to pry at the world's underlying rules bit by bit, without alerting the administrator. The Grove of Epiphany held the technology to strip away souls, the Lost Sanctuary could transmit memories past a world reset, and Phainon's path to becoming a savior could serve as the perfect cover for him.

The countdown to the world's reset had begun. When the Dark Tide surged once more, when Phainon raised his sword for the first time, when Cyrene turned and set off toward her own cycle, Qi Ji had to make sure that, before any of the tragedies took place, he had become the least conspicuous, yet most crucial, variable on Lygus's chessboard.
