I Made a Name for Myself Delivering Packages in Honkai: Star Rail

(Note from 2025.3.17: Enter with caution! I'll fill in this story after I finish the one next door. This story will not be contracted.

I've been on hiatus for over half a year because real life kept sending me off to take one exam after another. My grades weren't great, and my health got so bad that my advisor urged me to take a leave of absence. On top of that, after the New Year I went through some really awful things, so I haven't been able to come up with anything absurd. I just want to write some sweet, healing daily life in the other story next door...)

[Goofy + Healing + Adventure] [Max-Level Trailblazer, makes her own food] [Updates: whenever] [Not romance-game style, feel free to skip if that's not your thing] [New writer, practicing my prose]

One day, Jiang Hong woke up to find herself bound to a writing System and turned into a new intern at the Sky-Faring Commission.

To reach her goal of buying her freedom as soon as possible, she made a clever decision: sneak aboard the train where the protagonists were.

For a novel to become a hit, you need good food too. And where's the best place to get both? The Astral Express Crew, of course!

At first, everything went according to plan. As the sixth member of the Astral Express Crew and administrator of the Starrail Station, Jiang Hong diligently delivered packages and wrote away at her novels.

Her light novels, which rode the station's popularity, became hits one after another. Titles included The Nameless Reincarnate and Eat Your Way Across the Galaxy, I Ask You to Grill Fish in the Name of Landau, Akivili's Secret, Vidyadhara Observation Log, I'm Sorry I Was Born a Heliobus, and On the Reasonable Length of a Seven-Day Weekend. They all trended across the stars and earned her plenty of tips from readers.

But as her stories became wildly popular and she grew famous, the station's backlog of old packages dwindled, while more and more people asked her to deliver new ones...

"Conductor, this isn't right!"

One day, Jiang Hong stared at the bomb-shaped gift box Sparkle had handed her. It was addressed to the Strategic Investment Department of the Interastral Peace Corporation, and she fell silent.

On the other side of her desk sat all kinds of strange packages...

Pom-Pom shook their head when they heard her, thinking something wasn't quite right. But in the end, they nodded firmly. "Go on, passenger Jiang Hong. The Starrail Station always delivers, Pom."

Jiang Hong had thought she was saving her writing career through a roundabout route. She never expected that her identity as a train courier would become even more famous. Every few days, someone would ask her to deliver something bizarre...

[Reader's guide]

1. Honkai: Star Rail fanfiction, episodic stories. The locations follow the game's timeline: Belobog, Xianzhou, then Penacony. In between, there will also be occasional stories about the train, the tavern, and the Interastral Peace Corporation.

2. The female lead, Jiang Hong, has no romantic pairing with any official Honkai: Star Rail characters. This is not romance-game style; her love interest is an original character.

3. Any well-written characters are thanks to miHoYo. Any out-of-character portrayals are my fault.

Theme: A grand adventure in another world, and having fun along the way.
