[Genshin Impact] A Burned-Out Office Worker Slacks Off in Teyvat Every Day

Code Name Zero is an ordinary office drone from "Balance Singularity," a cult of followers of some unknown great villain.

Her hobby is eating, lazing around, and waiting to die. Her dream is to find somewhere with beautiful mountains and clear waters where she can eat, laze around, and wait to die.

The person who recruited her said, "You've got talent. Want to join us? The boss is friendly, the benefits are negotiable, and the hours are flexible. Don't worry, you'll get everything you want."

And that's how she ended up on a one-way road.

Black-hearted companies do real harm. The big boss is stingy and only talks about contributions, never pay.

She might as well slack off.

She'd meant to spend her life in peaceful mediocrity, but her extreme laziness caught the big boss's attention.

The boss said, "You have been blessed. Get to work."

Zero: ...

The girl smiled through gritted teeth. "As you command."

It's normal for a villain to have followers, but the problem is, she was tricked into joining!

She traversed the universe day and night, keeping the precarious balance of world bubbles intact.

When a force from outside the world system first probed its way in, she was about to head to a world bubble close to O God to carry out a mission.

Her superior gave her a kick. Zero: ?

After finally crawling out of the lake, she looked around at her unfamiliar surroundings.

Wait, where is this?

Teyvat was a unique and beautiful world. Although its special powers blocked her connection with the big boss, she had no idea what else she could do.

A squirrel bumped into her foot. She turned around to see a little girl gazing up at her with curious, watery eyes.

From then on, fate seemed to take a slightly different turn.

Mondstadt. No wind today, clear skies and bright sunshine.

You walk alone along a path to Wolvendom, gathering plants along the roadside to replenish your supplies.

You find a birch grove and, thinking of your picnic, decide to stop and gather some wood.

As you gather, a shadow blocks the sunlight. Has the sky clouded over? you wonder.

Maybe a cloud has covered the sun. Maybe a dragon's wings have blocked out the sky. After all, anything is possible in Teyvat.

You choose...

Good. You choose to look up.

A rift tears open in the sky. A huge, gray hand, empty of all life, is slowly carrying a little girl away.

You: !!!

Wait, what are you doing to my little sister!?

As the open-world mobile game O God, which refracts the true history of world bubbles, becomes a huge hit, an inorganic, high-dimensional mechanical lifeform senses the presence of vast amounts of energy.

It collects the combined, fervent wishes of players as energy, and in exchange, takes the "characters" living in Teyvat to the players' world.

A certain mechanical lifeform: You were just saying that. You didn't think I'd take you seriously, did you?

The power of souls is immense. It deceives players into making wishes, then devours the characters' souls.

Though the world repairs itself by creating a soulless shell to replace the original "character," the balance teeters on the brink. One day, the shell will collapse.

With key figures missing, history changes course, and the world races toward destruction.

Those in higher dimensions don't care if the balance of a lower-dimensional world is broken, but you do.

Zero. It's your name, and your mission. Now go save the world.

Standing before this block of narration, the girl tilts her head and says without interest, "That's so lame."
