I Bound the Lord Ravager System by Mistake [Honkai: Star Rail]

*

As a Lord Ravager cultivation System, it searched high and low before finally choosing a Host who looked down coldly on all living things and felt no empathy for anything.

System: This one's in the bag! I brought back a senior game designer from the company next door!

The might of an Aeon's blessing, wars spanning the stars, the beauty of life being extinguished... It couldn't help imagining a future in which the galaxy was overturned.

Meanwhile, 01 looked down at the character portrait:

Oh my god, what is this? There are all kinds of game designers, okay! I just make master-love games, and I've never even played Honkai: Star Rail!

System: ...What's master love?

01: Master love means centering the player, creating an emotional experience for them, and making them care enough about a character to spend money.

The System couldn't believe it.

So 01 picked up her pen and started marketing her nominal Aeon boss...

Dark skin, golden eyes, silver braids. Perfect for a despairing widower character.

Rising from annihilation, my beloved, my eternal flame. If the universe's entropy must increase, then I will set the end alight with my own hands.

How will that molten-gold blood flow beneath your gaze across those full, sculpted pectorals?

How will that dark, drifting ribbon wrap around his wrist and bind his fingers together, waiting for you to spread them...

At some point, a mysterious Pathstrider appeared in the galaxy.

Though she was a complete stranger, she seemed to know everyone. Not a single person who met her could keep from falling for her and losing their soul.

Dangerous yet irresistibly alluring, the various factions took turns sending their finest young people to test her, each hoping to win a single glance from her.

But she always kept everyone at a perfect distance, never giving anything away. She seemed indifferent to all living things, yet also seemed to love everyone equally.

The excited System: Yes, yes, exactly!

Start out weak, lie low and cultivate bonds, then suddenly break with them to shatter their convictions and reveal your true identity, unleashing enough power to send the whole universe into upheaval!

Dan Heng, who was about to invite his girlfriend to fight the evil forces of Destruction: ?

The Immortal Pathstrider Zhuluo, a Lord Ravager he had once killed, turned out to be a colleague of his girlfriend's: ?

Aventurine rushed from the IPC to get his girlfriend out of danger, only to discover that his girlfriend was the danger: ?

01 suddenly realized that she was now a player, and that she had been farming all those master-love scenes with the characters: ...

Quick, quick, where's the logout button in this game?!

I originally planned to write a male-oriented romance novel with some meta elements. 01 is just a random code name, and I added the rest of the setup only to make the story more fun and interesting.

So, instead of saying you're into master love, let's say you're a Lord Ravager who understands human nature!

But then I took another look at how strictly people define male-oriented romance. It might make it hard for readers to immerse themselves if the story doesn't count as that...

To avoid any arguments, I changed the tag from female-oriented romance to everyone-loves-the-heroine. The main content is still about interactions with the characters. Anyway, I hope you enjoy both the story and the game!
