Genshin Impact : I became a Traveler?

Chapter 2: Paimon, And The Journey Begins



10 days have passed since the System Intelligence went Offline

During these 10 days, Aether continued to fish by the lake every day. In addition to fishing for fish, He was also waiting to soon fish out her drowned guide.

In these 10 days, Aether also noticed that except for the fish in the lake and some wild vegetables growing around his simple camp. Not a single living creature came to her campsite.

Though every time He cooked, it would be impossible to cover it up at all. Be it from the smoke or the odor it produced.

And in the end, Aether could only make a conclusion that the area around here had been sealed by the System.

And if not for the System's assurance, he would have doubted it. Would her guide really be hooked in this lake.

Other than fishing, he did not forget to practice and simplify all his techniques to suit his body's current strength.

While he was practicing Martial Arts, the fishing rod by the lake shook more strongly than usual. Aether quickly rushed to the edge of the lake and then pulled the fishing rod firmly.

When the end of the fishing rod came into view, what he found was not a large fish but a small creature that seemed to have fainted.

Aether immediately pulled it to the edge of the lake and looked at it. The little creature that looked like a fairy had white hair and a crown-like object floating above its head.

Unmistakably, this little creature in front of her was none other than Paimon. The traveler guide who has a mysterious background and also emergency food.

'Still breathing, and no sign of swallowing water. It looks like she recently fell into the water.'

Aether then placed the cute little creature not too far from the campfire, so that he could get some warmth.

'I hope she won't be too scared, when she wakes up.'

The reason Aether said that was because, this little creature seemed to have a bit of trauma from being used as emergency food?

An hour later

'Why is this little thing still unconscious?' He said.

After thinking about the little creature's habits in the game, he tried another way

Aether then cleaned some fish that had been hooked, and started grilling them. As the fish began to produce the aroma of ripeness, the little creature began to respond.

Due to the delicious aroma of the cooked fish, the little creature started drooling. And then it seemed to laugh happily before it finally came to its senses and then floated into the air while looking around.

'You finally came to your senses little creature.'

'Hey I'm not a little creature, my name is Paimon!' She shouted

'Then Paimon, why did you drown?'

'Ah that's right Paimon had drowned before, was it you who saved Paimon?'

'Yes, I accidentally lured you Paimon.'

'Ahh Thank you, and umm sorry for yelling at you earlier umm mister.'

'My name is Aether, you can call me that. No problem Paimon, I won't get angry over such a trivial thing.'

'Hehe then from now on Paimon will call you Traveler.'

'Hmm?'

'What's wrong Traveler?

'Paimon, can you say my name one more time?'

'Traveler, right?'

Hearing the name Paimon called her, Aether began to think of something. If it was in the game, it could be justified because each character had a different nick name and for convenience Aether or Lumine would be called Traveler.

But now that I think about it, there seems to be something else about the pronunciation of this name. If it's in the game, of course it's set by the program.

So, no matter what kind of nick name you make, you will still be called Traveler even if you make a nick name called Aether or Lumine.

Why do I think that, because before arriving on Teyvat the people I interacted with always called me Aether.

This was not only the case on my home planet, but also on the various planets I had visited with my sister. So I thought there must be something wrong with the nickname, and I didn't believe that this was the system's doing.

'Is there something strange about the way Paimon calls you Traveler?'

'No, there isn't.'

'By the way Paimon, do you want some?' I asked as I handed her the cooked fish.

'Hehe of course Paimon will, thank you traveler.'

'Sure, by the way Paimon. You haven't answered my question how did it drown.' I said while eating the fish

'Ahh how can Paimon forget.'

'Well Traveler, at that time Paimon was taking a walk to look for fruit in the wild. Then suddenly there was a very strong wind and Paimon was blown away by it.'

'Before losing consciousness, Paimon remembers falling into the water and then when Paimon came to, Paimon met you Traveler.'

Aether nodded and continued eating her fish, as did Paimon. The two of them ate a lot of grilled fish, and Aether marveled that Paimon could eat almost as much as him.

You know, he had to eat a lot because he needed large amounts of calories to train. But Paimon didn't do that, after eating she just sat in her tent and watched me train.

That afternoon I once again caught fish in the lake, but not like before using a fishing rod. This time I caught it directly by going down to the lake.

Because the main reason for fishing was to catch Paimon. And since Paimon had already been caught, fishing is no longer necessary for now.

In the evening

'Hey Paimon, can you write and read In the language of Teyvat?'

'Of course, but Traveler, aren't you currently speaking the language of Teyvat?'

'For some reason, I can understand and speak language of Teyvat. But I can't write and read it.'

'So Paimon, can you teach me?'

'Well, Paimon doesn't know where to go anyway. And here you can eat that delicious grilled fish every day.

'Then please do me a favor Paimon.'

'Of course Traveler!

Two months later

On the seashore located under a cliff

Aether was now wearing her traveling uniform, exactly the one seen in the Game but with her stomach covered. Because he was not interested in showing his six pact belly to others.

'What?

'Traveler, are you actually from another world?

'Yes, because Teyvat was in a state of war at that time. My brother and I intended to leave Teyvat immediately.'

'And when we reached the border of the world, a woman who called herself a Heavenly Guardian stopped us.'

'That woman was so powerful, she easily sealed away my younger sister. Out of anger I began an all-out fight with that woman.

'During the fight that lasted for one day and one night, I had realized that I could not defeat her and neither could that woman who would not be able to easily seal me away like my younger sister.'

'At that time, I had already intended to escape and then return to training to increase my strength. Before returning to look for that woman to defeat her and make her release my little sister.'

'But in the end it was all a plan and when the critical moment happened an accident, that's when that woman took the opportunity to seal me away.'

'I don't know how much time has passed while I was sealed. And in the end the seal was broken more than two months ago.'

'But apparently that woman also put another seal on me, which sealed away my main power, the light element. That's why I've become so weak now.'

'Waah Paimon didn't expect such a thing to happen to you Traveler.'

'Then have you found a way to break the seal Traveler?

'Yes, if my guess is correct by mastering the seven elements of Teyvat I should be able to break the seal.'

'I don't know for what reason that woman tried to seal me and my sister in this world. But I will find out while also looking for my sister.'

'Because I believe she should have also broken the seal, even before me. Once I have found my sister and my strength has returned, the time to search for that woman has come and I will make her pay for what she has done.'

'So Paimon, will you come with me and be my guide in Teyvat?'

'Of course!

'Even without you asking, Paimon will still follow you. Because Paimon doesn't know where to go or where Paimon came from. As far as Paimon remembers, Paimon has been on the Teyvat continent for quite a long time.'

'Then let's add one more goal to this journey, finding out your origins Paimon.'

'Hehe thank you Traveler, then Paimon will also try to be the perfect guide!'

'Then let's go my guide.'

'Let's go Traveler!'

The two of them then left the beach and walked towards a path that led to the forest

'By the way, Traveler, according to Paimon, the woman you're referring to seems to be a goddess. So, if we want to find out about the gods, we should ask a god.'

'It just so happens that this direction leads to Mondstadt which is the territory of Lord Anemo Barbatos, so let's go there first.'

'Maybe we can get information about your sibling and that Goddess from the Anemo God.'

'Alright.'

The two of them then finally reached the path that led to the forest, Aether looked around for something but couldn't find it.

Yes, what Aether was looking for was a Teleport Waypoint. Because in her memory there should have been a Teleport Waypoint on the path to the forest

'What's wrong Traveler?

'It's fine, let's walk back.'

The two of them then entered the forest, the forest was not too dense and the path also looked well-maintained which indicated that there would at least be people crossing this path.

After 30 minutes of walking, the two finally came to a cliff that wasn't too high. Not far away they could see a statue in the middle of a lake that was not too big but not too small either.

Looking further, they could see a city located on an island on the edge of a vast lake. Compared to the first lake, it didn't even reach 10% of the lake's size.

'Woooow!' Paimon shouted

'What a beautiful view.

'Yes, what a beautiful view.

'Ahh Traveler look, the one on the small island in the middle of the lake is the Statue of the Seven. In each region there are several such statues.'

'These statues confirm that this is a region protected by an Archon. Since we are in the Mondstadt region, it is certain that the statue belongs to Archon Anemo.'

'Come on Traveler, let's go to that statue. Maybe you can communicate with him through the statue.'

'Alright, but before that.'

Aether then took out a camera from her storage bracelet, and then took a shot of this beautiful scene.

'Click'

'Click'

The sound of the camera could be heard as Aether began to take pictures

'What's a Traveler?

'It's a camera'

'Camera? But it looks very much different from the camera from Fontaine.'

'Of course, this product belongs to a world that contains advanced technology like this bracelet of mine. Let me show you Paimon.'

'Start automatic photo taking.' Aether said while pressing one of the buttons on the camera

'Automatic photo taking activated.'

Along with that voice, the camera in Aether's hand began to hover

'Come on Paimon, let's pose.'

'Ahh okay Traveler.'

'The target you want to photograph is found'

'Start taking the right angle'

'Will start photographing in 3..2..1'

'Click'

'Click'

'Click'

'Automatic Photo Capture has been successful.'

'Re-entering Manual mode.

Then the camera floated back into Aether's hands.

'Look at the result Paimon'

'Wow it's so beautiful, even Mondstadt in the distance was captured.

'I don't know how good the camera that came from Fontaine is, but it certainly can't produce photos like this.

Yes, Paimon thought so too. And Fontaine's camera definitely won't be able to fly on its own like yours, Traveler.'

'And also Traveler, from now on let's start taking pictures of every beautiful scenery we encounter.'

'That's a good idea Paimon.'

'Then Traveler, let's go to Archon Anemo's statue right away.'

'Alright.'
