Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Windrise.

"Honkai Character... Role-playing System?"

Standing on a hill in Windrise, Kaito muttered to himself, a dazed look on his face.

The sudden transmigration from his dorm room to the Genshin Impact world had already left him reeling; the appearance of the Honkai Character Role-playing System stunned him even further.

He couldn't help it. Both transmigration and systems were things he'd only ever read about in novels, yet now they had genuinely appeared in his life.

『Host, would you like to perform your first gacha pull?』

At that moment, the system's voice echoed in Kaito's mind.

『Then pull it for me.』

Without much thought, Kaito instructed the system to begin the gacha pull.

Since a system truly existed, it would be a shame not to try it out.

Besides, he knew this gacha pull would summon characters from Honkai as character cards.

『Gacha pull commencing—』

As the system announced the start of the pull, a series of purple cards with golden patterns on their backs immediately appeared before Kaito, rapidly scrolling from left to right.

Then, the cards slowed their scrolling, gradually coming to a complete stop.

It's coming...

Seeing the cards finally halt before him, Kaito's heart couldn't help but pound faster.

There was no helping it; gacha pulls were always this thrilling.

Is this... a gold pull???

As the card in the very center flipped over, Kaito's vision was instantly enveloped by a golden light.

『Congratulations, Host, you have drawn character card: Wendy (Honkai 2)!』

Before the golden light had fully dispersed, Kaito already knew from the system's announcement which character card he had drawn.

Holy crap... Wendy?

And Honkai 2's Wendy, at that?

No... she should be called... Heavenly Empress Wendy!

Upon hearing that the character card he'd drawn was Honkai 2's Wendy, Kaito was stunned.

He knew that Honkai 2's Wendy was incomparable to Honkai 3's Wendy, who got soloed by a Titan.

She was, after all, Heavenly Empress Wendy, the freest Herrscher in all of Honkai!

『Not bad luck, but how do I use it? Do I have to yell 'Henshin?'』

After a brief moment of joy, Kaito wanted to try out the Wendy character card.

『Host, you simply need to use it from this system's 'Owned Character Cards' interface.』

Owned Character Cards interface?

Prompted by the system, Kaito finally noticed an 'Owned Character Cards' option on the system panel. Inside, Wendy's character card was displayed, with a 'Use' button just below it.

Aside from that, there was also an 'Unowned Character Cards' option next to it, where all the cards displayed a large question mark.

So that's how it works...

Alright then... Use!

As Kaito used the Wendy character card, a burst of golden light immediately enveloped him.

Why is it a magical girl transformation effect?

Kaito was speechless.

But just then, the system suddenly blared a series of warnings.

『Warning: Unknown error detected in this system.』

『Warning: Unknown error detected in this system.』

Kaito: "???"

What's happening???

Still in his transformation state, Kaito was utterly baffled, having no idea what was going on.

『Warning: Unknown error detected in this system.』

Before he could think further, Kaito, hearing the system's warning for the third time, saw the system panel turn entirely red.

Oh no... is this system about to...

Boom—

Accompanied by a loud bang, Kaito's thoughts were abruptly cut off.

In a daze, he could feel as if something had separated from his body.

-------------------------------------

Splash—

What's that sound...?

Who's taking a bath...

In her groggy state, Wendy seemed to hear the sound of water, instinctively assuming someone was bathing.

Soon, however, Wendy recalled what had just happened.

I think... I transmigrated?! And there was a system...

At that thought, Wendy, who had been lying on the beach, jolted awake, swiftly shifting from lying down to a sitting position.

Right... I really did transmigrate...

Sitting on the beach, Wendy looked around and spotted a few Whopperflowers not far away.

But how am I... huh? Why does my thigh look like this...?

Just as she was about to stand up and confirm where she'd been blasted, Wendy suddenly realized her body felt a little different.

Not only was her thigh wrapped in bandages and her feet bare, but there was also a strange pattern on it, and it was exceptionally pale.

More importantly, why was she wearing a skirt?

That's right... I just used the Wendy character card...

Just as Wendy was completely bewildered, more memories of what had just happened flooded back.

So I'm Wendy now...

Standing up and looking at her reflection in the water, Wendy confirmed that she indeed looked like Wendy.

What kind of busted system is this... blowing up right after I used it...

After figuring out her current predicament, Wendy couldn't help but complain about the system.

She had never imagined that a system could actually explode.

If she hadn't used the character card, she probably would have been blown to bits by this embarrassing system.

Oh right... I wonder if the system's still around...

Thinking this, Wendy decided to call out to the system to see if it would respond.

『System?』

『Hey, Sys?』

『Little Sys?』

Calling out to the system three times in a row, Wendy received no response.

No way... did this system really blow up and vanish?

Wendy was speechless. She had never imagined a system could blow itself up.

Even more importantly, without the system, she had no idea how to change back.

No... I have to go check the place where it exploded...

Unwilling to give up, Wendy decided to check out the system's explosion site.

If I walk towards that big tree, I should be able to find where the explosion happened...

Glancing around, Wendy quickly spotted the large tree in Windrise.

Because she had been able to see that big tree from where she stood before the system exploded, and it was even closer, she figured she just needed to walk towards it and then pay attention to her surroundings to find the previous spot.

Without further ado, Wendy walked directly towards the large tree in Windrise.

However, as she walked, something suddenly occurred to her.

The current her... can fly!

How could I have forgotten that...

Scoffing at herself, Wendy took off directly from the spot.

This feeling is great...

Suspended in mid-air, Wendy savored the exhilarating sensation of flight, feeling quite good, though it was a bit breezy down below.

That pit... surely it wasn't blasted out by the system, was it?

Suddenly, Wendy, still in mid-air, spotted a crater on the ground not far away and quickly flew over.

I was standing right here just now...

Landing around the crater, Wendy looked around, convinced that this was indeed where she had been standing.

Upon closer inspection, Wendy noticed some footprints around the pit, seemingly left by more than one person, which made her feel that things were not so simple.

Could it be that the system exploded and something popped out, which someone then picked up?

Her gaze constantly sweeping over the footprints on the ground, Wendy fell into deep thought.

Afterward, she flew up again, wanting to see if she could spot the people who had left the footprints.

However, perhaps because it was already evening, she didn't see anyone. Instead, Mondstadt in the distance caught her attention.

Never mind... I'll go check there first...

After some thought, Wendy decided to head to Mondstadt and take a look.

Firstly, she needed a place to spend the night. Secondly, since she had transmigrated to Genshin Impact, she naturally had to visit Mondstadt.

And most importantly, the people who had left those footprints might very well be inside Mondstadt.

-------------------------------------

Mondstadt.

"Do you guys know what that huge bang this afternoon was about? I was asleep then and just found out. You were all on duty here, so you must know something, right?"

At the entrance of Mondstadt, a Knights of Favonius guard who had arrived for his shift asked about the strange loud bang from the afternoon.

"That loud and it didn't wake you up? You sleep better than a pig, then."

"Haha, indeed!"

...

The question from the inquiring Knights of Favonius guard made the other guards burst into laughter.

"Why are you all laughing so much? You still haven't answered my question!"

Although quite embarrassed, the guard still feigned composure and spoke.

"I don't know much, only that Amber brought back a black-haired boy in strange clothes from where the loud bang came from..."

A black-haired boy?!

That sentence, it must be said, made Wendy, who was just about to enter Mondstadt, freeze.

Because the description of a black-haired boy in strange clothes was too similar to her, someone who had just transmigrated, not to mention the boy was brought back from the place where the loud bang originated, which was that freshly blasted crater.

But Wendy also knew that she was currently in her character card form, so that boy couldn't possibly be her.

Which means... that black-haired boy is the system that exploded???

"So where is that boy? Did he cause the loud bang?"

"Don't know if he did it, but he hasn't woken up yet, I think. He's at the Knights of Favonius Headquarters' resting area."

...

At this point, the conversation between the Knights of Favonius guards reached Wendy's ears once more, as she had already stepped into the city.

Knights of Favonius Headquarters? I have to go check it out...

Glancing at the city layout, which was nearly identical to how it was in the game, Wendy walked straight towards the location of the Knights of Favonius Headquarters from her memory.

No matter what, she had to go see that black-haired boy.

Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

There are guards... they probably won't let me in...

Observing the Knights of Favonius Headquarters from a distance, Wendy noticed two guards stationed at the entrance.

While she could just barge in, there was no need for that.

Right... windows...

And there should be an entrance on the roof too...

Soon, Wendy knew how she would get in.

Without delay, Wendy quickly found an empty corner and leaped directly onto the roof of the Knights of Favonius Headquarters building.

Just as Wendy had expected, there was indeed an entrance on the roof, and the door wasn't even closed.

They didn't even bother to close the door properly... That's not good...

Gently pushing the door open, Wendy stepped inside the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.

So many rooms... Do I have to check them one by one?

Upon entering, Wendy found many rooms, all quiet, as if deserted.

Of course, even if she was discovered, Wendy wasn't afraid; no one here could defeat her.

Just then, Wendy noticed one of the room doors was ajar, prompting her to walk over.

Creak—

Gently pushing open the half-closed door, Wendy saw a person lying inside the dimly lit room.

Though she couldn't see clearly, for some reason, she found the person strangely familiar.

This made Wendy quite puzzled, and she couldn't help but walk closer to get a better look.

Isn't that... me???

After recognizing the face of the person lying on the bed, Wendy froze on the spot.

Because that black-haired boy was none other than herself.

Am I seeing things???

Instinctively rubbing her eyes, Wendy suspected she was hallucinating, but even after rubbing them, she still clearly saw herself lying on the bed, which left her utterly dumbfounded.

Just then, the boy on the bed slowly opened his eyes, and at the same instant, Wendy felt herself starting to awaken from unconsciousness.

"What's happening?"

"What's happening?"
