Entwined at the Source

[Two female leads, lots of affection + original story + the HoYoverse universe + many everyday moments and a slow pace + no other couples besides the two protagonists (smirk)]

[Chapters 1–10 contain lots of foreshadowing and worldbuilding. If you want to get straight to the affection, skip ahead to chapter 16 and beyond.]

[If you enjoy the sweet scenes, remember to go back and catch up on the earlier chapters. After all, this story is mainly plot-driven.]

In the origin world, where every path has run its course, two girls keep moving forward, one step at a time.

One is searching for the reason she exists in this world;

The other wants to leave behind something beautiful that belongs to her alone.

But as the broken origin world repeatedly tries to “save itself,”

their journey unknowingly becomes a loop:

Once they reach the end, the world, along with the two of them, resets to the moment before all the conflicts erupted.

They know nothing of this. They simply continue forward,

trying once again to leave their footprints in this world.

In this final “cycle,” they may yet compose a brand-new poem:

Born amid destruction, intertwined at the origin;

Blooming amid collapse, within IRSWC5DI in KJSWE2LSORUA====.

[I'm a new author. Please bear with me.]

[That last line isn't gibberish.]
