Rewinding Death in Honkai: Star Rail, Bound to a Check-In System from the Start

The protagonist is a little dim from the start!

Ye Fan makes ten card pulls and blows up his phone, only to transmigrate into the real world of Honkai: Star Rail.

He gets bound to a Check-In System, with rewards earned by courting death.

An Antimatter Legion everyone else avoids at all costs?

He charges right up to them and blows himself up, clearing the field in one go.

A mandatory battle that’s part of the story?

His teammate March 7th leads everyone around it, so he smashes through a wall to make a shortcut.

The game’s protagonist, “Stelle,” is still asleep?

He leans down to give her mouth-to-mouth, only to earn a punch in the face when she wakes up.

Death sends him back, and resurrection costs nothing.

Sign-in draws bring rewards that get more outrageous every time:

[Sword Saint (Extremely Afraid of Breaking Edition)], a wooden sword that can’t hurt anyone but can’t be broken by anyone.

[Art Is Patrick Star], blow yourself up on purpose, maxing out both damage and social embarrassment.

[Flash Step (Youth Edition)], the distance is up to fate and the landing point is random. It’s all about the thrills.

When the Doomsday Beast bears down and his teammates are trapped

Ye Fan spreads his arms and beams. “Don’t panic. I’ll die for you.”

The next moment, white light swallows everything.

…

In the Main Control Zone, freshly revived Ye Fan accepts a black card from station master Asta as thanks, then turns to see the elevator doors open

March 7th, eyes red from crying over him, stares at him in stunned disbelief.

Ye Fan: “…Hey. Surprised?”
