Playing the Fourth Calamity in Honkai: Star Rail (Traveler What-If)

The Traveler gets a holographic game test for Honkai: Star Rail.

The good news: since it is still in beta, he can use the characters he already owns in Genshin Impact.

The bad news: the game has a built-in skip function, and once he selects something, he cannot change it.

And so, his new life in the game begins.

The Interastral Peace Corporation is under attack. The intruders are a boy and a dignified young man with an old-fashioned air.

Boy: Ooh, new treasure chests and a new map! Time to dig, dig, dig!

Zhongli: This place is dangerous, but don't worry, Traveler. I'll protect you.

So when Diamond, an IPC Emanator, arrives, he realizes: This person's power feels very familiar. Isn't that the power of a Preservation Emanator?

Maybe... we should recruit him?

After all, we shouldn't make things hard for our own people!

Before long, a rumor spreads throughout the universe:

Wherever the blond boy goes, he leaves chaos in his wake, but there is always an Emanator protecting him.

Everyone: Wait, who is this guy? Why are there so many Emanators protecting him? Gritting teeth.jpg
