[Genshin Impact] The Harbinger Keeps Rolling Critical Failures

[If all goes as planned, this will start during summer break.]

Wangyue Shixi transmigrates to the world of Teyvat and lands a position as a Fatui Harbinger. His future looks bright.

But at the same time, he's bound to an AI idiot that calls itself a tabletop RPG investigator System.

The fresh-faced System, not yet tempered by hardship, declares with great ambition: Our goal is to become a legendary investigator!

Wangyue Shixi is fired up too, and immediately rolls a critical failure to show off his skills.

System: ...Huh?

Fortunately, in the Fatui's loving, friendly family, he has plenty of affectionate colleagues who can share his misfortune and take the penalties for his critical failures with him.

A mysterious explosion of unknown origin occurs in the lab...

The Doctor, mourning his precious segment's glorious death while still awake in the middle of the night: No, seriously, is he insane?

He tries to help an ill-looking colleague by giving them an emergency punch...

The Regrator, seriously injured after being punched by a colleague, forces a smile: Great rescue. Don't ever do it again.

A bout of temporary madness randomly manifests as an intense need for interpersonal attachment...

The Wanderer, deeply doted on as if he were a son, clenches his fists: ...You're dead!

His attack goes out of control once again and hits an ally...

The Knave, now an expert at dodging her colleagues' backstabs, starts a fight with them in a fit of rage: I've put up with you long enough. Are you ever going to stop?

Wangyue Shixi insists he's innocent: It's not like I want to roll critical failures!

...Well, there's no helping it. I guess the Fatui will just have to put up with me.

This story could also be called Legendary Investigator Starts with a Critical Failure or Transmigrated as the Tsaritsa's Biggest Headache.

1. A comedic story with a fair bit of torment, plenty of homebrew rules, and a nontraditional tabletop RPG approach. Not orthodox Lovecraftian horror.

2. Warning: This story has many flaws, including out-of-character behavior, amateur writing, heavily modified settings, and my own take on the world. If you don't like it, please leave. Don't insult me; I can't win an argument with you.

Theme: The wind brings the seeds of stories, and time turns them into legends.
