Honkai: Star Rail: A Dimensional Die from the Start

[Healing and heartwarming] + [Major plot changes] + [Slow burn] + [Doesn’t follow the main storyline] + [Herta-only fan]

My name is Suming. When I woke up, I found myself in a restricted area on Azure Star: a sea of flowers.

Who exiled me here! There’s something wrong with this Azure Star! Why are they all Herta haters! And now they’re chasing me!

Herta haters, I’m really on your side.

Why won’t you believe me?

Let me explain it to you: “You’re Ms. Herta’s dog, and so am I. We’re all Ms. Herta’s dogs! …”

“Why should we fight each other when we’re all from the same root?”

Herta gently lifted Suming’s chin and demanded, “You’re pretty fast, aren’t you, my number-one ‘Herta hater’? Let’s see where you can run this time.”

Suming replied carefully, “R-run... into your heart?”

Herta gave a cold laugh. “Hmph. Sweet talk won’t save you. The first thing you need to do to get into my heart is... stay alive, and...”

Herta: “Remember to honor this lifetime ‘employee’ contract. Your person and your life have belonged to me for a long time. Want to run? Not a chance.”

The dice granted me the intellect of a genius. It didn’t last long, but it was enough.

I made my way to the space station to meet Herta with a paper titled “On the Application of Isolated Wave Algorithms,” only for her to call me out for not writing it myself.

So I had no choice but to prove my worth to her and my mentor.

“How could there possibly be two identical portraits in this world?”

“Completely different from yesterday: this is who I am today.”
