Countless cars were speeding along the rather busy street. People, as always, hurried there, don't know where. And only one silly girl by one strange coincidence, with a frightening smile on her face, watched all this movement from the window of her apartment. — He-he! Weak-willed slaves are rushing to work again, but I don't need to go anywhere! — she gloated triumphantly. Undoubtedly, this girl named R*** became a rich woman in a few computer mouse clicks and the speed of the brain. — I don't care what if I have a weak body and eyesight like a chicken, when I'm can earn money from home! — R*** chuckled to herself, bringing a mug of coffee to her mouth. — Don't be born beautiful, but be born cunningly fucked, that's my quality! This little don't promising person was still offended by the universe for being born with a bunch of chronic diseases. And only a homeless man from the street could call her a beauty, who always smiled warmly at everyone. However, she's it was difficult to admit hurt, in general, and there was no one to blame for it. Hot coffee pleasantly burned the throat: — Here it is, the taste of victory, — the girl mumbled sweetly, — now it's not scary to die…[Conditions are met! Starting the system in 10…]
Strange a notification popped up on the computer screen, she just clicked her teeth in displeasure, drawing attention to it: — WTF? I paid for an annual anti-spam subscription last month! A girl with a short haircut and black hair almost instantly sat down on a red leather chair, staring at the screen, looking for a cross. It's not hard to guess: she couldn't find him, and meanwhile the countdown continued.[System startup in 3…2…1]
In her gray eyes, it darkened sharply, and consciousness almost instantly turned off. In the next instant, her disembodied spirit appeared in the semblance of outer space. Fragments of memories flashed by like the very concept of time. Every moment is shards of glass, in which the girl was mostly bullied by classmates, abused at home and humiliated at work, when R*** had not yet become who she was now. The girl quickly came to her senses, it was never difficult for her to quickly understand something and get used to something. But one way or another, there was no trace of the last smile on she's face. — My tongue, my enemy… In fact, R*** knew that she could die soon, because she had been diagnosed with brain cancer. However, accepting your death is the same as giving up. And that was something she couldn't let happen. It would be foolish to say that she made no attempt to fight for life. She worked hard not only from home, but even took a few odd jobs handing out leaflets on the street in a stuffy bunny suit. And indeed, it is a blessing that beautiful appearance was not needed for this. All these torments of hers were in order to earn more money for treatment; she even learned how to buy and sell stocks to get faster and easier money… But in the end, even those could not save her: she did not have time to collect the necessary amount. Probably, you now think that the author will focus on her past life? By no means, now is not the right time for this… But maybe one day? — Ha… — The girl just exhaled heavily, smiling fatally, — Did I really die because I allowed myself to gloat a little? — Technically, you're not dead yet. — Said a robotic voice from somewhere above, but she did not detect its source. «And what does that mean?» — the girl asked curiously, looking around. — As mentioned earlier, the conditions for activating the system have been met… — The voice began to explain slowly. However, she quickly realized everything and immediately became angry. — So it's because of you that I'm here?! Quickly bring me back! The boyish voice instantly faded away, and at the same moment a door that had not been there before opened in front of her. A barely familiar silhouette of a small creature in a purple train conductor costume appeared from it. His big rabbit ears perked up from the scream, and sincere surprise froze on his cute furry face. With his tiny paws, he clumsily approached her, and then said discontentedly: — What do you mean, return back?! You said yourself that you can die! — OMG but I didn't say that in the literal sense of the word! There was an awkward pause for a moment, the first to break it was the express guide, who was disgusted that he could have made a mistake: — Ahem, ahem! If you want to go back, then you will have to finish your journey in the world of Honkai. He did not focus on his mistake, only pretending that everything was going according to plan. And who has seen this, so that the Guide himself is not of this world, admitted his defeat!? Vaguely similar to Pom-Pom (original conductor in the game) with emphasized a sly grin on the face utter: «You have no other way.» — What do you mean by “finish”? — The girl, to the surprise of “Pom-Pom,” quickly accepted reality and listened carefully. However, the Guide ignored her question and continued: — There are many options for paths: find the path in which the threads will bind into a tangle. Don't let fate come true!... It seemed that he wanted to add something else, however, gradually disappeared, as did this whole world of dark, starry space around the girl. And again she felt that an unknown force was closing her eyes and seemed to be pulling her somewhere into the abyss.***
Through Stella's eyes.
«Well, she won't forget you… I'm think…» — It was heard from somewhere from the side. «And why does this plot remind me of something?» — the girl wondered, looking at two familiar silhouettes. – «Huh? What's wrong with my inner voice? It sounds completely different…» The girl opposite with a charming smile, purple bright eyes, and hair the color of ripe cherries began to say something quickly and was almost about to leave, when at the same moment my consciousness finally cleared. «Indeed have I been reborn into Honkai: Star Rail?! In a game in which there is not only no end, but also the arch on the Xianzhou Lofu has not ended!» I blinked a few more times before believing in the judgment of my thoughts, but it was real. —Silver Wolf? Kafka? — I immediately called out to the girls present nearby, who were now looking at me with some surprise. — I don't remember uploading data about me to you. — Silver Wolf said. Her medium-length hair really looked like silver, and her gray eyes looked at me with undisguised suspicion. I just grinned, realizing that even if the game is half raw, I know enough to change the plot. Even if for me the game stopped at version 1.1. — Does it really matter? Anyway, my consciousness will turn off now, after which you and Kafka will leave. The girls looked at each other puzzledly and Kafka said: — Maybe He was mistaken? — Only time will tell, and we need to hurry. — She answered her, shaking her head. As a result, which was to be expected: the girls left the room pretty quickly, leaving me alone. I remembered for sure that according to the plot at this moment the main character turns off… And just when I wanted to think that I could change something at the very beginning, my eyelids immediately closed, and my head seemed to be hit with something heavy. Severe drowsiness and weakness did not allow me to open my eyes for a long time, until I felt someone else's tender lips on my lips. The fear of suddenness woke me up, and I quickly pulled away, as did Dan Hen, who had just «kissed» me, trying to do artificial respiration. Furtively looking at his piercing, blue, almost emerald eyes and black slightly curly hair, I now regretted that I did not want to know more about his lor when I played this game… He looked truly beautiful! — You're finally awake! How are you feeling?! Do you remember your name? — Thousands of questions poured out of the mouth of the restless March 7. She quickly pushed the boy away, literally, looking at my face with her eyes that shimmered from blue to pink, which looked more fascinating in real life than in the game. And finally, I remembered the plot in which, according to the original, Dan Han did not do artificial respiration, because the main character woke up himself. After a while, we were already walking through the corridors of the Hertha Station. I, in turn, decided to follow the plot as long as it would be profitable for me. — Here, try this! — Marth 7 exclaimed joyfully, handing me a baseball bat, whose short, pink hair was developing from her every movement. I nodded, accepting it and weighing it in my hand, but there was a not very pleasant thought in my head, which I voiced: — But I don't know how to fight… — Hmm? — She just looked at me questioningly, as if expecting to hear something else, — Then it will be a little difficult for us, but you, most importantly, hold on. Then I thought: «On the other hand, I was reborn in the body of the main character, right? So I should have his strength, too?» I decided to take a chance… But moments later, in the battle with the monsters, I realized that I had made a fatal mistake! Fuck, I almost died! And only miraculously survived thanks to the fact that Dan Heng protected me in time…… {WHAT THE FUCK DO I HAVE NO POWERS IN THIS WORLD A-A-A-A-A?!} But that's not all my pain… I even have to walk a few meters through this damn station is a lot of work! And to see the enemies in these corridors is a test from the category of the 5th difficulty of the virtual universe of Hertha! And as soon as I thought about such a frightening injustice, a notification immediately popped up in front of my eyes on a blue background and in black letters with a manga font. System: [The conditions for unlocking skills have not yet been met.] — And what do I need to do? — Irritation accumulated, but I did not let it get out, only sincerely realizing that everything has its price. System: [Meet the basic requirements] — Simple. Fuck. Tell. What. Me. Bitch. Need. Do?! — Mentally, I was ready to strangle this cute ball of fur. And I don't even know what annoyed me more: the lack of strength or the fact that I was dragged into this world without my asking… And while I was all thinking, a notification popped up in front of my eyes: [Find. Fuck. Way. Open. Fucked. Destruction. Is it clear for you, bitch?] Stelle: ..... Stelle: ?????????
