Lin Yan, a top Genshin Impact creator who has spent six years delving into the game and written over a million words of lore analysis, gets electrocuted while working late on the final draft of his Khaenri'ah Cataclysm article. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in the underground mining area of The Chasm on Teyvat.
He has no mastery of every element from the start, no overpowered cheat that lets him defeat the Seven Archons in a single blow. His only advantage is a “lore analysis terminal” that can only be activated by touching objects tied to history. It contains all the hidden Teyvat lore he has picked apart, from character stories and Artifact secrets to the tragic endings each character is destined to meet.
He knows the source of the yaksha’s karmic debt deep beneath The Chasm, the thousand-year-old regret buried in Guili Plains, the unspoken obsession of Decarabian, the truth erased from Irminsul, and even the mission the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles never revealed behind the Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah.
But he is just an ordinary man, too weak to hurt a fly. A single spoiler could cause the world’s timeline to collapse, and one step too far could doom all of Teyvat.
The Traveler follows the open road in search of family. He walks a hidden path, piecing history back together.
He will not be Teyvat’s savior, nor steal the protagonist’s spotlight. He will only record Teyvat’s true history and guide the souls worn down by time to the other side.
When the void beyond the world begins to encroach, he faces one final choice: follow the rules to protect Teyvat, or risk everything to bring closure to regrets that have endured for millennia?
