Synopsis

[Slow Burn + Zagi + Standalone Honkai: Star Rail Story]

If you ask me what I fear most, I'd say mirrors.

Not that I'm afraid of anything else in particular. I'm just afraid that one day, the face in the mirror will laugh all by itself.

My mother found me on the outskirts of a battlefield when I was still a baby. She didn't know where I came from. She only said that I'd helped her escape danger that day.

“Jing Xing” was the name my mother gave me. It meant a lifetime of peace and happiness. She often said I was her lucky star.

But… was I really a lucky star?

Now I'm twenty-three. I have a cat named Sesame Crisp, and I run a noodle shop in Aurum Alley on the Luofu. Its sign reads “Jing's Noodle House,” with a line underneath: “Clear broth, springy noodles, warmth for the stomach and the heart.”

Too bad it can't warm my heart. Countless times, in the small hours of the morning, I've been jolted awake by icy nightmares.

Two figures intertwine in my dreams: a silver-white giant, wreathed in sacred light; and a dark-red shadow, similar in shape but utterly different in presence.

“Ultraman?”

I wake drenched in sweat, my heart pounding, my nails digging into my palms. I look at the blood on my hand and find myself strangely excited! Something inside me seems to be stirring.

A few scattered memories flash through my mind, giving me a rough idea of what's going on.

It hasn't awakened. It just turned over.

And I stare at the ceiling, counting heartbeats until it falls asleep again.

(One… seventy-five… one hundred… one hundred and twenty-five…)

It fell asleep, so I went back to sleep too.

Lately, though, it's been turning over more often.

My sister doesn't know. She's thinking about the tea she wants from her little brother. My mother knows only a little: she hopes her son will always be safe. And Sesame Crisp? It's just a cat.

Honkai: Star Rail, No Harem

Please recommend some good Honkai: Star Rail fanfiction. Harem is fine, but don’t have characters fall for the male lead for no reason. I want romance, but not too much sweetness; there should be heartbreak too. No womanizing protagonist who gets with every girl he meets. No System, no OOC, and no wish-fulfillment stories. Preferably, the protagonist should be a native of the setting.
