2 Chapter 2 - Isn't this Kosma?
*Yawn*
"Good morning," Kaiserin said as he woke up from his slumber.
[Morning! So what are we going to do for today? Are we heading to Liyue?]
"You seem to have a fondness for Liyue, don't you?" Kaiserin replied with a smile.
[Of course! It's our first destination! Also, why haven't you asked about my abilities as a system?]
"Ah... I apologize, it slipped my mind. Considering I just arrived here yesterday, understanding your capabilities wasn't my immediate concern," Kaiserin admitted apologetically.
[That's all right! Adjusting to a new world can be overwhelming at times]
To be honest, it completely slipped my mind...
I only transmigrated here yesterday, so I was still trying to make sense of everything.
Despite being known for my calm demeanor in my previous world, I couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.
"Do you have a name other than 'system'?" Kaiserin inquired.
[Fufufu~ Behold! The system accompanying you is called 'Lynx'! I'm one of the few systems that have been given names!]
Wow... That must mean Lynx, my system, is one of the top systems in their department...
"That's incredible, Lynx!" Kaiserin exclaimed with excitement.
[Fufufu~ That's right, shower me with more praise!]
"Lynx is so cool!" Kaiserin sincerely praised.
I genuinely appreciate Lynx, it's great that they have a name. I can't keep referring to my companion as 'system' every time we talk.
[All right! Rin, say 'Open Status'!] Lynx instructed.
"Open Status," Kaiserin complied.

...
[Well? Are you shocked? I knew it~ I selected a body that can withstand the energy of Teyvat! So, what do you think, Rin?]
Sigh... This is something I didn't anticipate...
A clone of Kiana Kaslana, albeit a failed one... She's now the Hersher of Finality, and she sacrificed herself on the moon. Thinking about it brings a tinge of sadness...
*Slap*
No, I need to remain calm. For now, I should focus on understanding my current situation.
[Why did you slap yourself? Are you all right?]
"I... I'm just taken aback by who I am now," Kaiserin responded to Lynx.
[Mhmmm.... Okay... So, what are your thoughts?]
"Yes, I love it. Thank you, Lynx!" Kaiserin sincerely expressed.
[Fufufu~ I knew you'd love it!]
"Mhmm..."
[Ah! I almost forgot! You have a package from someone!]
"Oh? Who is it? I haven't met anyone yet," Kaiserin wondered.
[Hehehe~ I can't tell you just yet~]
"All right then, go ahead and open the package," Kaiserin instructed.
* * *
Hello, this is a note for Seiji.
I hope you are adjusting well to the body I've given you.
I apologize for not being able to meet you in person.
But, I genuinely hope you can enjoy your second life there.
Wishing you a fulfilling journey in this new world.
[Congratulations! You have received 1000 System Points, Light Vision, 1-Time Body Transformation, and 50 Status Points]
* * *
"Well, this is surprising..." Kaiserin muttered.
[I know, right? I had no idea she left behind so many system points]
"She?" Kaiserin caught onto a key detail.
[Never mind that! Should I explain anything?]
Hmmm... Perhaps I'll learn more in due time...
"I have a basic understanding of the status, but I'm not entirely sure about the purpose of system points or the 1-Time Body Transformation..." Kaiserin admitted.
[Okay! The System Points can be used in the Shop. Rin can call out 'Shop' to use them! The 1-Time Body Transformation is a complementary feature to the Light Vision. It will align your body with the constitution of the God of Rebirth, who governs the light authority.]
"Wow~ Then I'll use both Vision and the 1-Time Body Transformation now," Kaiserin exclaimed with excitement.
[Okay! Initiating... Putting the Host to sleep for enhanced effects...]
Huh... I feel sleepy now... What did Lynx say....?
*Step* *Step*
Huh? Who's there?
I can't stay awake... Is it a monster?
"This presence... It feels like an old friend has finally returned," a deep voice resounded from the direction of the sound.
Ah... It's Zhongli...
I'll... be safe... with him... here...
[Body Transformation Initializing... 10%.... 34%.... 61%.... 87%.... 98%..... 100%... Complete...]
[Initializing a hidden legacy... Memory Acquisition... Complete....]
[Congratulations on becoming the reincarnation of the God of Rebirth, Adonis.]
*Waking up AGAIN*
"Seriously, what's with me and sleeping," Kaiserin complained to Lynx.
Wait, why is there an extra memory in my head?
...
Huh... So, with the body transformation, I have also inherited the memories of the late God of Rebirth...
That's interesting... It's like watching a movie... It doesn't affect me emotionally...
"Ah! Wait! Lynx! Where am I?" Kaiserin asked, looking around.
"Also, I vaguely remember someone nearby, who was it?"
[Host! You are awake! That perverted God took you to Liyue and changed your clothes without telling you! He's a pervert, I tell you!]
"Eh? What?!" Kaiserin shouted, looking down at himself.
*Knock* *Knock*
"May I come in?" a deep voice sounded from behind the doors.
"Um... Okay," Kaiserin replied to the door.
Opening the door, I saw someone incredibly handsome...
With long brown hair tied back, golden eyes, and a figure that seemed strangely familiar...
Well, he has always been the object of admiration among fans, so I guess he's supposed to be this handsome.
I've seen Moraz in my memories, but back then, he was full of life, like a teenager looking for a fight wherever he went...
"Are you awake? You were unconscious out in the wild, you could have gotten hurt, you know?" the man said.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Kaiserin unconsciously looked down, mirroring how Adonis used to apologize to Morax.
Oops, I wasn't supposed to be affected... I guess it's because Morax is someone he knows...
Looking up, I saw a hint of surprise in his golden eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"It's fine. Are you hungry? Do you need anything?" the man inquired.
I know what to avoid saying right now, but I have the urge to say bamboo shoots...
...
Fine! I'll just go with it! I'm starving!
"Uhm... Yes, I'm a bit hungry... Is it okay if I have some Bamboo Shoots?" Kaiserin meekly replied.
The man's eyes softened for a second, then he replied, "Yes, I'll go and prepare them. Don't go anywhere."
"Why would I go anywhere if I haven't eaten anything!" Kaiserin subconsciously shouted.
Oops! He put both his hands on his mouth.
"I-I'm sorry! That slipped out! I-It was a habit that I somehow developed growing up," Kaiserin stammered.
"It's okay, I also had an old friend who would bicker with me like this in the past. It brings back memories, thank you," the man said, reminiscing.
"No, no, you're welcome. Thank you for bringing me here!" Kaiserin replied.
"Before I go, may I have the honor of knowing your name?" the man suddenly turned around and asked.
"Oh, right. Nice to meet you, I am Kaiserin Kaslana. I'm from a nearby countryside." That's true though, both Adonis and I were born in the countryside.
"Kaiserin..." the man mumbled.
"It is an honor to meet you. I am Zhongli, a consultant at Wansheng Funeral Parlor," Zhongli introduced himself.
"I'll go prepare the meal now."
"You don't have to personally prepare-" and he left," Kaiserin said.
[Why did you guys happily talk to each other and ignore me!] Lynx complained.
"I apologize, Lynx. It's not that I forgot about you, but I find it difficult to talk to you in front of other people," Kaiserin said apologetically.
[Hmph! Then I'll just stay with you!]
Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared nearby, revealing a teenager who resembled Kosma from Honkai Impact 3rd.
The teenager emerged from the smoke, arms crossed, and exclaimed, "Fufufu~ Here I am!"
This was Lynx.
"Lynx, you can do that?! And this appearance... Isn't this Kosma?" Kaiserin exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes! I thought this appearance would attract Rin more, so I chose it!" Lynx proudly declared.
Ah, he discovered my preference for handsome men...
"Hehehe~ Now I can hug Rin as much as I want!" Lynx exclaimed, leaping towards Kaiserin and embracing him tightly.
"Ah! Ehm... Please don't use that appearance to hug me! I'll die!" Kaiserin protested, his face clearly blushing.
Just as Kaiserin tried to free himself from Lynx's grasp, the door suddenly swung open, revealing two individuals. One was tall enough to almost touch the doorframe, while the other was considerably shorter. It was Zhongli, returning with bamboo shoots, followed by Xiao.
"What..." Xiao stammered, taken aback by the scene in the room.
Meanwhile, Zhongli's expression darkened, mirroring the pot he held in his hands.
"What are you all doing?" Zhongli asked, his voice strained.
'Ah, I'm in trouble,' I thought to myself.
Meanwhile, Lynx, still in my arms, glanced at Zhongli and playfully stuck out his tongue in a teasing manner, a look of victory on his face.
Zhongli's expression grew even darker at the sight.
Beside him, Xiao sensed the chilling atmosphere and remained frozen in place.
"Explain," Zhongli demanded, his gaze fixed on Lynx.
"W-well..." Kaiserin stuttered.
HELP!
