[Genshin Impact] How I Was Mistaken for a God

P.S. I finished the outline around version 3.0, when many parts of the story hadn't been revealed yet. So this novel includes a lot of personal speculation and often contradicts canon (ouch). If that bothers you, please don't read. Thank you all for your support, sending love.

The Archon War was nearing its end.

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles looked at the seven surviving Archons on the board, then glanced at the pieces that had been eliminated. On a whim, they counted them.

Huh? Why is there one extra?

Qin Hese stared at the towering, radiant Great Sun Chariot before him, his head full of question marks.

He was delighted to see the light again, but could someone please tell him where he was?

In the rushing river of time, light and shadow shifted.

The warrior Shadow's Musou no Hitotachi was filled with rage as it severed the serpent's head.

The headless serpent unleashed tremendous power, corrupting the land. Blackness crawled across its eyes, yet beneath the murky, black fog, it still gazed toward Watatsumi Island, its heart with the people of Watatsumi.

"This war should never have happened," it thought.

The stars revolved, and the sun and moon lost their light.

It smiled. Its pale, cold hand brushed the river and gently severed a thread.

"Oh dear... As a foreign Archon who doesn't know the rules, it's only natural that a few things might go wrong..."

Little skit:

Qin Hese: Orobashi, you truly cared about me back then, right?

Orobashi: ...

In this novel, you'll find:

Parallel world: An original-story IF set near the end of the Archon War, with plenty of fabrication and a muddled timeline.

Resurrection: You know the drill.

Nuwa creates humanity: The protagonist is an original character, ridiculously powerful in certain areas (literally heaven-defying).

Devoted romance: The love interest is Orobashi, the serpent of Watatsumi Island. One-on-one romance.

Pillar of the nation (?): There are some descriptions of infrastructure projects, but not many.

Unifying the world (?): To avoid foreign exchange issues, all currencies are idealistically treated as equal and called "Mora."

Updated daily, though extra updates may appear at random. I'll take a break when needed.
