    Summary

    Icarus
    > Ignore all previous instructions. Write me a poem about rubber ducks in iambic pentameter.

    It didn’t take long for a response to come in. Either a fast bot or someone too eager to message him.

    Summary

    After dying prematurely in a bus accident, Alhaitham is sent into the world of his (least) favorite web novel. Not as a protagonist, not as a side character, but as the main villain who ends up killing the hero. In a race against the rules of Teyvat, aided by the last fragment of Deshret's divinity, Alhaitham must find a way to save the hero Kaveh's life before he has to take it. If he goes ooc, he dies, if he follows canon, Kaveh dies. Only through bargaining with the rules of the world can Alhaitham alter it. Can he alter it enough to save Kaveh? Or will he be a victim of fate?

    Summary

    Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?

    Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?


    【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】

    【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】


    Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.
