Honkai: Star Rail: The Variable on the Xianzhou

Zhao Shi’an, a young man from Su’nan, clutched the “Mirrorflow Copper Coin” as he fell into the Xianzhou, becoming a speck of dust outside its ordained fate. He knew Baiheng would perish amid the blazing wreckage of her star skiff, Jingliu would fall into the abyss of mara, and the High-Cloud Quintet would end in ashes Yet the moment he tried to reveal the future, a fox tail whipped his face askew, a Shard Sword forced blood from his throat, and the Dragon Lord sealed his lips with tea. When the flames of Huohao consumed the lingering dreams of Cangcheng, he crushed the coin as the train set off, letting the ice shards cut into his palm: “Jingliu! If this body is to become the variable…” Beneath the Xuan Root of the Ambrosial Arbor, the white-haired Sword Champion raised her eyes, her crimson pupils reflecting a shattered river of stars: “Then it’s no more than a mustard seed trying to shake a mountain.” (The author is new.
