[Genshin Impact] An Unorthodox Traveler

New Book: [Genshin Impact] Xiao's Sweet Dream; Coming Soon: [Genshin Impact] The Geo Archon's Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Childhood Friend

Lingda, who had completed countless tasks after joining the Adventurers' Guild yet still had no one by her side, knew she was an original player.

No Paimon, no main quests, no Elemental Skill. If not for Mondstadt's history, books, and newspapers, she might even have doubted whether the place she was in was really the game she remembered.

Yet books were proof, and she couldn't even be sure whether she was alive or whether the NPCs she interacted with were living beings.

Until one day, beneath a Cryo Regisvine, a person with a high red ponytail stepped in front of her, and Lingda's heart trembled.

"Has this world accepted me?"

Back when he was a member of the Knights of Favonius, Diluc had heard of the Adventurer Lingda. They had simply never had a chance to meet. But her clothes and appearance alone were enough to confirm that she was the legendary Lingda.

Now that he thought about it, Adventurer Lingda was more like a true knight than many members of the Knights of Favonius.

Perhaps there were more "Lingdas," and they weren't in the Knights of Favonius.

After temporarily suppressing the Cryo Regisvine's chaotic elemental power, Diluc turned around. Faced with her astonishment and disbelief, he merely gave a slight nod before leaving.

"Wait!" Lingda hurried after him.

He was the first true "story character" to speak to her. How could she possibly let him walk away like that?

Warnings:

* No romance in the early chapters. The male lead is Zhongli.

* I joined the fandom late and don't have an original player account, so this isn't a canonical original-player story.

* There is a System, but no Paimon; there is an inventory, but no wishing; no Elemental Skill at first, but there is an archive and a map.

* Unlike my previous romance-focused stories, this one has little romance, and the male lead appears quite late.
