Nahida suddenly lost contact with the Wanderer.
To make matters worse, Teyvat was invaded by another mysterious force. More and more of its residents claimed to have seen "shadows," and fell into madness as they muttered unknown words.
A month later, a figure resembling the Wanderer appeared in the thick fog.
"I've been traveling for a long time."
"That power does not belong to this world."
"Don't look. Don't listen. Don't think."
"Beneath the old shadows, ignorance is the best shelter."
A Wanderer-centered story with a bit of an ensemble cast. I'll favor the Anemo boys, Sumeru platonic relationships, and others familiar with him.
It has transmigration to another world, and is roughly 25% canon, 50% Lovecraftian horror, and 25% otherworldly adventure.
There may be Jujutsu Kaisen, Bungo Stray Dogs, Naruto, Demon Slayer, trips to the past, parallel worlds, and more.
