[Genshin Impact] A System's Reflections on Becoming the Geo Archon

You are a nation-building and conquest System, and your mission is to help your Host reach the pinnacle of life.

But on your very first day on the job, you realize something is wrong.

According to the System-binding rules in your programming, a Host must meet the following requirements:

1. Have no power or influence.

You nod. You have to admit, a newborn probably does have no power or influence.

2. Have no family or friends.

Mm... You, wearing rose-colored glasses, pull out a virtual handkerchief to wipe your tears. Indeed, this poor little thing has no one, not even a mother.

3. Be helpless and in need of aid.

Born deep underground in the rock layers, it has to dig upward or remain buried... That seems to fit, too.

4. Have tremendous potential for growth.

It's already so powerful when it's this small, and it gets stronger every day... It certainly has lots of room to grow.

5. Have ambition and aspirations.

Mm... You watch the little cat-dragon, who has finally climbed up from the planet's core, tens of millions of meters below the surface, and is now sitting there obediently. It notices your silence and tilts its head, its ears twitching with the movement. A devastatingly cute attack.

It seems to... No, this absolutely can't be right, can it?! Something's gone wrong, hasn't it?! This thing isn't even human!!!

Just what have you bound yourself to???

Reader's Note: No CP, short stories updated whenever, slice-of-life. The protagonist is the same throughout, and is always referred to as "you."

Actually, it's more of a serious story. That means the snark happens inside the protagonist's head, and none of that ridiculous stuff where everyone turns into an idiot like in some silly comedies.

Theme: The System should bind itself to someone who really needs help! How annoying!
