Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma arcs complete; Sumeru is over halfway done
A secret-identity story, but the secret identities aren't very secret.
What can you find in an infinite-flow world? All kinds of skills? Bizarre missions? The terrifying pressure of the Main God?
Or... how about some more heavily remixed Genshin Impact?
For example, watch the black-clad, red-haired merchant Diluc and a cavalry captain with no mount travel through a world of magic and fairies;
The Geo Lord of Liyue sits among the clouds, establishing contracts between worlds in the name of the Heavenly Principle;
The Shogun, having lost her twin sister and onmyoji, makes all the yokai fall silent beneath the thunder;
Forbidden Knowledge? That's a projection left behind by an indescribable Outer God!
As the bells of the foggy city ring, Fontaine's judge steps into the courtroom alongside the Chief Justice, Furina.
Yun Hanmian, who was unlucky enough to be dragged into an infinite-flow space but lucky enough to sign a contract with the Genshin Impact System after stepping through the door with her left foot first, says: Bring it on, all of it! Add more!
And so, the taskers suddenly discover that the dungeons, once fraught with danger, seem to have changed in strange ways overnight:
In a bar, a youthful-looking bard is slumped beside a table, mumbling to the bartender that he wants another drink. Strands of hair by his temples curl and sway with magic, though there is no wind.
Tasker: I'll buy you a drink, but first tell me why your face looks just like the statue's!
On an ancient battlefield littered with abandoned graves, a girl with bright plum blossoms at her temples skips between the worlds of the living and the dead, humming an eerie tune. She glances back with a smile, and a hundred ghosts appear all around.
Tasker: I mean, sure, but getting dragged down to the underworld is a once-is-enough kind of thing...
A woman wearing a fox mask stands with graceful poise. Petals of cherry blossom drift down from empty space, then scatter into smoke and vanish with the wind.
Tasker: Hanasato, please come back!
Meanwhile, Yun Hanmian, controlling the secret identities from behind the scenes, watches their observation values soar on the status screen and is very pleased. She rests her chin on her hand and smiles softly.
"One or two more dungeons, and we should have enough observation value."
"Host, I'll leave the rest to you. Please be very careful of the Main God."
She looks at the System, which falls asleep after leaving only a few short messages. Slowly, the lively expression on her face fades, and her gaze toward the distance becomes calm and empty.
"You really do trust me, don't you? You call yourself a System, yet you dared to wager everything on me," she murmurs to herself.
"Doesn't that leave me with no reason to back down?"

P.S. When I was writing this, I never expected the image I'd designed for the Main God to overlap with the Ruler of Death. (awkward laugh.jpg) Anyway, they're not the same thing, so please don't misunderstand. Big red eyes can belong to good or bad characters, QVQ.
A few things to know before reading:
* Very [out of character]. I won't be nitpicking the logic, and the original plot is [heavily remixed]. The setting has been altered a great deal, and the story is very slow-burning. There will be a lot, a whole lot, of plot about [original characters] (the taskers), so if that's not for you, feel free to click away, qwq.
* I quit the game after Natlan was completed, and the story ends with Fontaine. The outline was written in 2024 (after finishing the Narzissenkreuz quests), and I started writing in January 2025 (when the Natlan version had just launched). I won't be changing the overall framework, so there may be countless [outdated-version] details about Teyvat, such as the theory that the Heavenly Principles and the Abyss are one and the same, or that the nation of the Sinner from Beyond is Khaenri'ah, etc. orz. The Five Sinners, the Four Shades, the Heavenly Principles, and Zibai are all assumed not to exist.
* The female lead's worldview is subtly skewed. She's neither saintly nor absolutely ruthless, but a warm-on-the-outside, cold-on-the-inside ice-hearted marshmallow~ (Though the protagonist won't have a particularly strong presence.)
* These are my own takes on Western fantasy, immortal cultivation, and similar genres. They're basically genres wearing a costume, so they definitely won't feel quite right. The secret identities won't be a major focus.
* This is a secret-identity story, and the identities are never exposed. No one knows the truth except the System.
* In my personal setting, Genshin Impact is a "niche" game. It wouldn't be fun if everyone knew about it, QVQ. (Of course, there are other reasons behind this setting, hehe.)
* This story spans a very long time and a wide range of genres. Most original characters also have sides to their personalities that are hard to judge. If you reach a point where you can't accept it, please [cut your losses in time]. Reading novels is supposed to be fun, after all. o(^▽^)o
A friendly reminder: if even one thing above doesn't suit your tastes, please click away right now. Perhaps we'll meet again, QVQ.
If you're interested, take a look at my other original story blurbs in my author profile, QVQ. There's both romance and boys' love, so everyone who's open to that is welcome to save them to your collection. o(^▽^)o
My next story will probably be whichever one has the most saves, so come and give it a try!
For now, here's a blurb for a story I'm planning to write:
"Me, Zandik! Evil Scientist!"
A Genshin Impact boys' love fanwork, written in third person.
I was a level 60 veteran Genshin Impact player, and after a car accident, I transmigrated into Teyvat.
I was all fired up, ready to punch the Abyss, stomp on the Heavenly Principles, and build a happy, wonderful Teyvat, when I suddenly heard someone call my name.
"Zandik, no sleeping in class!"
Wait, who? Zandik? The Second Harbinger, the Doctor, that universally hated guy who had to die three or four times before he finally stayed dead?
A piece of chalk from the Sumeru Akademiya shattered my beautiful dream. But no matter. Even if I couldn't become the Fourth Descender, I could still punch the Three Moons, stomp on the World Tree, and become an honorable evil scientist!
So I maliciously messed up Columbina's feathers and secretly researched a ship to the Frostmoon, only to leave her behind just before departure!
I maliciously operated on Collei and experimented on her, telling her scary stories every night until she was too frightened to sleep!
I maliciously... Oh no, this guy with purple eyes is kind of handsome. Then I'll maliciously kill his mother so he'll belong only to me!
Heh heh heh! Anyway, I finally inherited the Doctor's title perfectly and successfully became an evil scientist!
As I imagined my wicked and happy future, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata came over holding the Lesser Lord Kusanali's hand, patted my head, and smiled kindly. "You're not needed here anymore. Go play with Collei."
Me: What are you doing? Looking down on me? I'm going to burn the World Tree in a minute!
Then a little emerald-colored bird flew into my arms, and Collei looked at me with shining eyes. "Doctor, Doctor! I finally found you!"
Me: ? What doctor? I'm the Doctor, the Doctor!
In the end, I lay grumpily on Pantalone's lap and complained that I had no menacing presence at all in the eyes of the protagonists, despite being a villain.
Pantalone stroked my hair. "All right. You don't have to keep up the evil persona anymore. We all know how much you love this world, and all of us who live in it."
"You've already defeated the fate planned by the gods."
The planned story is in my author profile.

Wow, that's amazing! I've never even heard of Sparky before. So, the update came out today, and I couldn't wait to pull for the veteran Nico. Although after getting her, I was so focused on leveling her up quickly so I could beat up Dotore during the main story this weekend that I didn't have time to check her signature weapon and new artifact text.
Wow, amazing! 😍 I read this all in one go. There's so much to say, like how the foreshadowing of the untrustworthy demons was planted a long time ago. I remember guessing a long time ago that this kid wasn't human anymore, but I never imagined this guy surnamed Lu could be this depraved. Was Qing bewitched by both the demon and the main god?
After a brief moment of thought, I realized it's Nico! [Laughing and crying emoji] Nico is strongly associated with morality, which is indeed difficult to understand in this world without morality.
That's just how Hai Ge is. He'll only be extra sarcastic towards overly kind friends like Kavi. It's actually out of concern, isn't it? Kavi is too kind, making him easily fooled. It's not that he lacks vigilance, but Hai Ge is just afraid that the other person might really need his help. [Laughing and crying emoji]
Lanaro, that's alright then.
Qing… I don't remember her being a researcher. Professor Yuan was quite wary of her, and this is a callback. Qing mentioned earlier that such a simple code could easily be impersonated.
Mushrooms? Then there's even less to worry about, right?
This guy's a bit eccentric. Knowing your leader is being monitored by the Supreme God, he didn't even remove the void terminal the Supreme God gave him, clearly indicating his malice.
Uh... I always firmly believed that Hai Ge had his reasons for doing things... But it turns out that the one at the very beginning might not have been Hai Ge at all? [Laughing and crying with face covered]
I remembered seeing a post online that taught foreigners that "idiot" is a greeting.
