Genshin Impact: Conqueror of Demons

"I'm not some lucky star who brings good fortune and prosperity."

During the Lantern Rite, every home was lit bright. Lanterns drifting across the sea at night carried the heartfelt wishes of countless people. The immortal, still appearing as a refined young man, pushed the eerie mask covering his face to the side and gazed without blinking at the first lanterns rising over a peaceful land and its people. His irises were gold.

"Xiao."

In the distance stood a young man with pale golden hair, walking against the light.

A thousand years ago, you called to me and made a contract with me called "Growth."

A thousand years later, you called to me again, but had already forgotten everything.

"It's all right." The immortal gently bit the young man's earlobe. "You'll remember eventually."

After you find your sister,

I won't be so gentle anymore.

#This is based on Genshin Impact. Everything beyond the main setting is original, so don't worry too much about the details.#

#The Traveler is the older brother, and the pairing is Xiao. There isn't enough fanfiction, so I'm writing my own.#

#The older brother in this story is no pushover. He won't just help anyone, for example, with those damn boring commissions from the Knights of Favonius.#

#Lots of headcanons, since the game isn't finished yet...#

#Would this count as a derivative work? A game-based derivative work.#

#Raise the Xiao x Aether banner high! (shouting)#

Well, for certain reasons I couldn't get into the game, so I quit. I had a slightly spendy account that started with 1555, but I gave it to my younger sister. I'll probably try to finish this story as soon as I can.

(I might get a little carried away with the romance.)

Thank you all for your support all this time. You're the reason I keep writing. Even through the internet, you've given me warmth that's hard to put into words and helped me carry on. I love you all very much.

Until we meet again.
