Honkai: Star Rail: Preservation, May You Be Protected for Life

PS: A Honkai: Star Rail game-inspired fanfic, centered on the Trailblazer and Dan Heng: Permansor Terrae pairing.

She died suddenly while playing a game. Her soul drifted through the void for a hundred years until one day it finally came to rest. When she opened her eyes, everything was red. It seemed she was trapped inside a tiny “house.” What was going on? She struggled with all her might and eventually broke a hole in the “house.” Looking down, she discovered she was inside a golden-red egg, wrapped in a dragon’s coils, with a phoenix nearby. She tried to speak, but all that came out was a clear, melodious cry like a phoenix’s...

He was waiting outside Amphoreus. After waiting for years, he was swept away by a black hole that appeared out of nowhere. Inside it, he encountered a wandering soul. He guarded the soul until it entered a phoenix egg, then coiled around the egg and continued protecting her until she hatched. He stayed by her side as she cultivated, witnessed her transform into a human, and watched her grow up carefree, until her enemies came and she became the sole survivor of the phoenix bloodline...

She wanted revenge, so she begged the golden dragon who had guarded her to help. She lent it some of her phoenix power so it could take human form. And when the golden dragon transformed, it turned out to be him. Holy crap!

She had always liked him, but he mistook her for someone else. So infuriating! If she didn’t need his help, she wouldn’t have bothered traveling with him. After she got her revenge, he locked her in his embrace and refused to let go, no matter what...
