[Honkai: Star Rail] Miracle Ranger, Punishing Evil and Promoting Good

This story will be available for purchase on June 2 at 6 p.m. A triple-length update will be posted then. Thank you all for your love, little angels. *bows*

What are Galaxy Rangers?

Different people give different answers. Villains avoid them like the plague, while good people have mixed opinions.

They will travel vast distances in response to a signal sent across time and space, solely to dispel the darkness that even the fall of a hero could not overcome. They will also draw their weapons and strike whenever they see injustice, caring nothing for lords, nobles, or powerful Federation officials. They fight violence with violence, completely unchecked.

Luo Cheng looked over the survey and promptly stubbed out his cigarette. “Galaxy Rangers?”

He picked up the little girl by the armpits like a cat and answered with a grin, “Galaxy Rangers are the freest, most unrestrained, and coolest loose-knit organization in the universe!”

“Dammit, how many times do I have to tell you? She hates being held like that!” Boothill kicked at him and took the little girl. “But honey, he’s not wrong.”

Galaxy Rangers are the most romantic and darkest of guns and spears, carrying out the will of the Hunt.

Luo Cheng was an Abomination of Abundance unlike any other.

While his hated kin racked their brains trying to destroy the Xianzhou Alliance, Luo Cheng wrapped himself up like a mummy and slipped away from the group, then turned around and spat at the so-called “prophet” who was always conning people.

He’d had enough. How could fighting and killing compare to the joy of travel? He didn’t want to be a Borisin anymore. He wanted to become a Nameless and travel!

Halfway through his travels, Luo Cheng settled on a backward planet and met the love of his life. They even had an adorable daughter.

Luo Cheng swore to protect his little family. Then one day, the company’s ships descended on the planet. His hot-tempered sweetheart would rather die than surrender, and led the cowboys in a guerrilla war against company personnel armed with all kinds of high-tech weapons. They narrowly escaped disaster time and again.

Luo Cheng: ...

Luo Cheng: Fine.

The usually mild-mannered Borisin, who spent his days herding livestock, bared his claws. “So you’re the damn Market Development Department?!”

Later, when the Xianzhou saw the company’s wanted posters, they realized something seemed to have gone wrong with the world.

What the hell was that Borisin claiming to be a Galaxy Ranger?!

Their adopted daughter survives. Sweet (not quite) everyday life as a whole family of Rangers

Not a lore expert; heaps of headcanon. If the out-of-character writing bothers you, please get out quickly.

Upcoming story blurb:

“You Call Yourself a Fool, and You Want to Enter the Jianghu”

A certain Galaxy person was bad at everything and had a smart mouth. When he went up a mountain to try foraging for wild vegetables, he casually picked a handful of mushrooms that looked delicious and took them home to stew.

After downing a pot of mixed mushroom soup, the world spun around him, and he happily turned into a tiny little bird and flapped away. When he came to again, he realized that this little bird had landed somewhere it shouldn’t have.

In the distance stood ornate buildings, and servants surrounded him nearby. The Galaxy person clutched himself, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Somehow, he had flown into the residence of a wealthy family in ancient times.

Fortunately, they didn’t mistake him for a thief and beat him to death.

From the snippets he overheard, the Galaxy person realized he’d transmigrated into a wuxia novel he’d read before abandoning it. Apparently, the story was full of outrageous twists in its later chapters, nobody but the protagonist and author ever got a satisfying outcome, and the villain was vicious, especially when it came to gouging out hearts and eyes. The Galaxy person clutched his trembling heart and comforted himself: it was fine, he’d stay clear of the Jianghu’s conflicts.

Then he learned that the only reason he hadn’t been beaten to death was because he’d transmigrated as a mad young master with the same name in this wealthy household.

Early in the novel, the author had the villain wipe out the entire family with a wave of his hand to show how vicious he was. The young master had offended the villain and had his heart and eyes gouged out.

The Galaxy person: ...

That scene was so vicious, it was the reason he’d abandoned the novel!

Like a cornered beast, the Galaxy person paced around his room, then grabbed a small bundle and ran. He was going to cling to the protagonist and use the protagonist’s plot armor to save himself and his makeshift family!

Compared to having his heart and eyes gouged out, what was so bad about entering the Jianghu? Stick with the protagonist and you’ll get to eat! Yaaah!

Only later did the Galaxy person find out why the novel had been called full of outrageous twists, and why nobody except the protagonist and author ever got a satisfying outcome.

By then, it was too late.

The protagonist tenderly lowered the demon mask that signified his identity as the boss over the Galaxy person’s face, then kissed his jagged fangs.

“Please,” he said. “Don’t leave me.”

[Reading guide]

A goofy and fun adventure through the Jianghu, where the protagonist uses love to reform the villain (maybe?)

Two-faced top x a foolish, not-sweet bottom. The top loves causing trouble, and the bottom is great at messing with his head.
