[The King's Avatar] When Clouds Are Deep and Rain Is Light

[Maxed-Out Perception, Brilliant Mind, Gentle and Rational on the Outside but Stubbornly Emotional Within: Si Chou X Silent Gun King, Quiet in Action and Speech but Sensitive and Steadfast in Matters of the Heart: Zhou Zekai]

On December 3, 2022, Glory's Tenth District opened.

Si Chou had never played Glory before. With the account card [Rainy Night by the River], he stepped into that beautiful night.

The world of Glory was alive.

Si Chou could hear the maps breathing and see the hidden Z-axis within Glory.

It was also beneath that night's moonlight, outside the Forest of Glimmering Greens, that he met a sharpshooter who was simple yet profound, silent yet shining:

The ID [Clouds Deep] was right there.

Then an ice formation descended.

Because of that ice formation, they saw each other for the first time and went from standing behind one another to standing side by side.

And because of the words "I need you," they moved toward each other, leaving that night's moonlight behind and entering one another's whole world.

I'm not a genius. I just understood your silence before the rest of the world did.

Like waiting for rain in the depths of the clouds,

when the rain is light, I saw that person.

He had made two wishes to fate, and fate had granted them.

Beneath the moonlight outside the Forest of Glimmering Greens, where the story began,

a miraculous ice formation was born,

and so was a soul willing to travel backward through time for one person.

[Reader's Guide]

1. Si Chou X Zhou Zekai is the only pairing in this story. Everyone else is platonic. The point of view switches between them from time to time. Please don't bash the characters or bring up other pairings~

2. Extremely, unbelievably, super slow burn. He returns to the past with his memories, and does so twice aaa

3. OOC warning: there are lots of headcanons and personal interpretations. Lots of dumplings with vinegar; my dream is to finish writing all that dumpling vinegar

4. The champions and personnel in some timelines change as the plot develops

5. Fictional history, unrelated to reality

6. I'd love to have friendly discussions in the comments~ No trolling

Finally, thank you for opening this story (^▽^)❤
