Chapter Text
Childe quickly opened his eyes. He took a few seconds to understand and remembers what happened before his blackout. He opens his eyes and rises quickly. He sits down and watches the translucent blue screen appear before his eyes. He hears the familiar voice of the system saying:
[Greeting Player#4819, you have ended this life. However, you have failed the following mission "Find the One Piece"
As a result, the jury decided to deduct 2,000 B-points.
B-Points: 35197]
He looks shocked at his points being deducted. He takes a scowling look and grabs the screen and shakes it.
"You hustlers !! From where I lose more points than I win !! I remind you that the success of the main mission is 1000 points ! You want to steal from me that’s it, you dirty system of my two !!"
[Wow ! Player please calm down ! It’s the jury that decided so, I’m just a poor messenger who works! TwT]
"What ?! You already have to explain to me how death works in the universe of One Piece ! Like we don’t die of lightning or combat. A fall from a step of a staircase, on the other hand, is death assured. I couldn’t stand 5 years of being insulted by "Marimo" by the other cook of m*rde just to die missing a stair walk during the fight with Kaidou’s crew ! Give me back my points, you thieves !"
[C-calm down player ! The jury has consulted ! He apologizes for taking your thoughts wrong and decides to give you compensation !! ><"]
"Compensation you say ?" he says in a hopeful tone as he drops the screen.
[O-yes ! Your next life will be Childe, the 11th of the Fatuis Harbingers ! You will be in the game world Genshin Impact and your mission is to "become the great villain of history" with a reward of.... player#4819 ?... is everything okay ? Your eyes are empty...]
"COMPENSATION MY ASS YES!! I MUST KILL THIS JURY!!"
[Kyaaaaa ! Player calm down! ><]
So... Genshin Impact... a game where you play one of the two twins : Lumine or Aether. The other will become one of the Villains in the story. In search of his lost twin, the traveler will have to cross all Teyvat and reveal the secrets of this world. He met many friends and enemies with charismatic and unique personalities. It’s an interactive story where you can pick up your twin or go pick up the characters in the game. Among them is Childe, the villain of history par excellence. In couple with Zhongli after the Liyue arc of the game, on Tuesday shamelessly Xiao, one of the closest followers of Zhongli but also the boyfriend of the traveler. Of course, this one goes crazy and does everything so that Childe is judged and punished. At the same time, Zhongli breaks with Childe believing his trust. With his friends met during these trips, the traveler manages to make a trial or Childe is dishonored and tortured in a prison. He succumbs to these wounds while Zhongli and the traveler live their happy lives and set themselves in Couplage. All is well that ends wel-
"What a shitty story !! He does not even tell the time when Xiao is the worst! He is painted as an angel and I who killed him with jealousy !" Scream indignant Childe. "Besides, I didn’t kill him ! He killed himself and I’m the murderer ! What a lousy world !"
He looks at himself indignant in the mirror of the toilet. The universe of systems was strange for Childe. There’s no one but you and the system communicating. It’s kind of a waiting room. If Childe were to compare this must be the waiting room before a game of Among Us begins... Ah this game, a nugget for Childe during his 34th life and his first life in the modern world. One of the best life... anyway....
He looks at himself in the mirror. Red hair, blue eyes and freckles... his first-life appearance. He touches his cheek looking at each other.
"What the fuck am I good-looking at the time ... to say that this face is going to be destroyed by the traveler "... he pretends to wipe an invisible tear." What a shitty life... this time, I’m really gonna have to kill Xiao... Bruh.. It’s not that I don’t love him... but for 1,000 points."
He sighs. Honestly, Childe didn’t want to kill him, even if Xiao killed himself. This one had kept a certainty of not having saved the adept even if it was annoying. That was the reason for his silence when Zhongli asked him if the executioner had actually killed the adept. Xiao’s death was one of Childe’s great regrets. That’s why when he was accused of murder, he accepted some of the blame.
He considers the main mission "to be the great villain". In itself, he is a villain since he is a Fatui. Given the age of his body, he is clearly an executor. He notices in his mission that it is rather open. Nothing about the method is set... so Childe can do what he wants as long as he accomplishes his mission. So he wouldn’t have to kill Xiao (he’ll regret not killing him later).
Then he looks at the timer. There’s 8 minutes and 55 seconds left. When the timer reaches 0, Childe will fall asleep to wake up in his first life (which is also his 169th life). He then touches in the blank and the menu is displayed. He presses "B-Points". It can see its B-points displayed but also other types of points: affinity points, hate points and blackening points. The system had told him that as they were points that serve as indicators in the Otome Game. Finally the system said it explained it in due time and to block Childe after he threatened him.
"I have 35197 points-B. I can go buy items !". He presses the menu button and goes to the shop option. He watches his surroundings become the entrance to a store. He enters and goes to the counter.
B-points is also the currency of the system. They allow to buy items usable in lives. These items can be used to reach the goal quickly or earn more points.
"Hey ! What are the objects that can be used in the Genshin Impact universe ?" asked the salesman, who looked stressed.
"These are these objects !" After a few seconds, a screen with different items appears.
Childe goes through it and looks at an item that looked interesting. "I’m going to buy a "Vision Reset" and a "Vision Storage" !"
"T-that's makes 15,000 points.. Hiiii" he writes in panic when Childe laggripe at the pass.
"Listen to me, you hustlers ! I took over 100 lives to get 10,000 points and still if I passed my main mission since the jury gives me missions that are almost impossible ! So you’re not gonna steal my points too !"
"I-I'm so sorry ! But it’s the prices displayed ! I can’t reduce it !"
"Give me a fucking discount, right ! 10,000 points is the price of the One Piece !... and I died because of a staircase because the builder was lazy enough to put a slab !"
"I-I... 20,000 B-points and you leave with a free Aura !! But please no violence ! I’m just an intern !" He cries with crocodile tears.
"A free Aura ? I take it ! I want the one from the Great Villain !" said Childe happy and satisfied. The auras, a super powerful item. You can activate it and deactivate it as you wish. When it is activated, the aura takes control of the character’s body and plays the chosen role. Here, the character will say and do the actions that a villain will do and so the others will perceive him as a big bastard.
For Childe it was the jackpot, if he was in trouble, he’d use the aura to increase his hate for him and become the big bad guy. That’s perfect! He pays and looks at these points being 15197. It hurts but it’s for the mission. He greets the seller and leaves the store and wait for his awakening in the universe of Genshin.
The trainee after giving the purchases to Childe sighed. This customer was flippant, his heart was not close. He watches the boss come back to the counter. He hears his boss say, "Hana... where’s the White Lotus aura box ?"
"Uh... that’s the red box, right ?"
"No, it’s the Big Villain’s aura box. The White Lotus is the blue one."
"E-eh ?!... but I gave the box to the customer... he wanted the one from the Great Villain"
"What ?!... you gave prototypes ?!.. these boxes are not for sale ! They were overdosed and their effect is immediate ! Especially that of the White Lotus !...."
"So I gave this prototype for free to this scary customer ?"
"Free ?... you’re fired, Hana."
"E-eh ?"
