Honkai: Star Rail, but It’s a Star God RPG

I can't do this anymore... The workload at the end of the year is so huge it's going to kill me... Who knows when it'll end? Anyway, I'll wait three months before unlocking the chapters. If I get another coworker or the workload eases before then, I'll come back (tears).

You downloaded a game called Honkai 5: Interstellar Simulation RPG.

You'd just finished registering and hadn't even had a chance to spend money. You were about to give the game a shock with a blue-and-green cheat tool, adding a little cracked-game joy to the character creation settings...

Then you transmigrated.

The game System that came along with you:

[Hey, girl. You're a god now. The Aeon of Malice. You govern the philosophical concept that unifies all negative emotions.]

[As a newborn Aeon, your Path is not yet stable. From now on, work hard to spread your divine power, broaden your Path, and make your name resound throughout the cosmos!]

You: Try opening the beginner's guide.

Oh, wow, there really is a beginner's guide.

System: [Aeons need to maintain their mystique, so they can't do the work themselves. You need an Emanator to serve as your emissary among the stars. Choose: A. Buy one. B. Kidnap one instead of buying one. C. Abduct one instead of buying one. D. Obtuse angle. E. Aha!]

You: ...?

You don't plan to break the law for now, and you don't know this so-called Aha, either. You decide to fend for yourself.

You: Be born, my secret identities!

*

Now you need to gather negative emotions to expand your Path.

So your secret identities began their path of depravity.

Malice's Emanator [Scott] stopped the Astral Express just as it was about to depart, kidnapped the Conductor, and loudly sang into a microphone in the carriage: "You rotten Astral Express~ You're not allowed to leave~"

Pom-Pom: Shattered.

Himeko: ...?

Stelle: Requesting permission to join!

[Negative emotion "Betrayal" +5]

Malice's Emanator [Zhihu] wrote angsty romance novels in Belobog and published them at their own expense, plastering them all over Kliperburg: "That year when she was at her lowest, I broke up with her. Behind me, Serval wept again and again, but I never looked back."

Pela: Sob, I'm shipping it!

Gepard: Big sister... So that's what happened...

Bronya: Mom, you...?

[Negative emotion "Sorrow" +7]

Malice's Emanator [Gimme That] stole Phantylia's Stellaron in Xianzhou Luofu, transformed into a giant Ultraman, and became Luofu's real weekly boss.

Phantylia: ?

Jing Yuan: Is this supposed to be an unexpected ally? Why are we still fighting? Oh no, the unexpected ally is on the other side!

[Negative emotion "Jealousy" +1; negative emotion "Don't Want to Work Overtime" +10]

Malice's Emanator [Daddy] publicly announced that they had stolen the Clockmaker's legacy, drawing strong condemnation from the Penacony Family.

Gallagher: You stole the Clockmaker's legacy, so what am I looking after?

Misha: You stole the Clockmaker's legacy, so who am I?

[Negative emotion "Confusion" +2]

Malice's Emanator [ctrlc] went on a spree selling fake antiques in Okhema, scamming the young savior and leaving Phainon bankrupt.

Phainon: Where... is my money? Mydeimos, could you lend me some?

Mydeimos: These fake antiques are copies of relics stolen from Castrum Kremnos!

Cipher: Wasn't I supposed to be the one making this money?

[Negative emotion "Poverty" +3]

You brought too many negative emotions to the cosmos.

But each time, you managed to leave the world you visited with a grand happy ending.

Everyone contributes negative emotion points to you every day, but their love for you grows just as steadily.

*Heaven knows who the pairing is. I'll leave it for now. My gut says it might be Director Rike.

Theme: Say goodbye to all your troubles.
