I woke up uncomfortably on my back. I heard waves crashing down and when I got up I felt sand in my hands. I looked around me and saw a beach in front of me and a large cliff behind me and wondered where I was. I realised I was wearing some weird looking clothes and I noticed a path with trees and greenery on the right side of the beach. I decided to follow it. As I walked through the path. I felt a weird sense of familiarity. On the path I had to get over a small cliff to continue. When I was over the small cliff, I saw a small weird animal munching on some weird looking peach.I approached the small animal slowly but the animal was startled by me and ran away. I took a look at what the animal was eating. It looked like a sunsettia from genshin? I was shocked and decided to take a bite from a sunsettia tree nearby. My mouth was completely overwhelmed by the sweetness from the fruit. As I was eating. It hit me. If this is from genshin… I immediately dropped the fruit and ran along the path.
That's when I saw it. A statue of the seven between a small lake and I could see the small city of Mondstadt behind it. This place was called Starfell lake. This was the start of Genshin Impact. I was on top of a large cliff and as I walked down to take a look at the statue of the seven. I thought to myself. How did I end up here? After reaching the bottom of the cliff. I had to swim through the small lake in order to reach the Statue of the Seven on a small piece of land. After swimming through. I walked towards the statue of the seven. I saw the anemo archon on top of the statue and thought to myself. If I touched the statue like the traveller did, would I get an anemo element? I reached my hand to touch the statue. At first, I hesitated. Then I touched it. I saw small blue lights from behind the statue that started surrounding me. One of the light touched my hand and absorbed it.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
After that, I felt excited to try out my new anemo element. I decided to replicate the traveller elemental skill which was a windburst that sucks in,charges and blasts anemo at the end. I held my hand out and? Nothing happened. That was weird. Nothing happened at all. I thought the skill would activate if I tried doing it like the traveller did. I tried once again but nothing happened. I was mind boggled and didn't know what to do. I remembered that in genshin. There was a UI that could store artifacts and items. It also had a map. I remembered watching SAO back at home and Kirito starts pressing the air out of nowhere to get the UI. I decided to copy what Kirito did and started pressing the air around me. Ayo what? Nothing came up. I tried double pressing but I started I looking like a dumb retard trying to touch air like I never felt one before. I recalled when I woke up. When I was at Starfell Valley, at the beach where I woke up. I remembered in the game there was a teleport waypoint at the beach but I did not find any teleport waypoint near there.I decided to start heading towards Mondstadt as my new objective to find what would I do next and maybe to apply at the Adventurers Guild in Mondstadt.
