(RE) It doesn't rule anything

*??? PoV*

As he walks into the void, a vast field of feathers welcomes his return. Those feathers which hold different kind of meaning for him scattered showing him where he should go. He keep walking with a slumped back indicating the result of his journey.

*Step*

"...Putting off all spell."

His mind which is painted with failure can't even bear the consequences of his meeting, and with nothing to be trusted, no one can help this man from succumbing to his own regret.

*Step*

"...I ended up running away again from someone..."

Numerous thought popping out one by one from his mind, and each time those thought could be comprehended by him, another one appear to make him drown in guilt. Everytime regret fall onto him, he'll wail and trying to understand it, but never once he try to mend the bond with others.

*Step*

"The feather for her memories, then her black case and...ah...I left that lantern on the beach didn't I? Thankfully my bag is still there."

Looking for justification of his deed,the man keep consoling himself as if he forget how her face and her trembling sound the first time he met her far before in the distant past.

*Step*

'Pre..sent.....The-their face...N-No..Noo.'

Her sounds which should've been sealed inside his feather once again can be heard by his mind. Terror filled her face while trembling on the ground with her tribe members, those memories slowly leaked and make him falling into the deep abyss.

*Step*

"Haha~ What am I expecting? I didn't hurt her that much so it should be...fine...haha..."

Another thought pass his mind as he slowly drowned to liability of his deed. He always looking up to that one figure alone when its about his journey, that one figure which changes his life but also serve as his burden.

*Slump*

"..."

Another wail had begun, falling to his knees, no tears from his eyes and nothing he could see beneath him. There's no image of him who encourage or illusion of his lost family who told him they'll always stay with him.

He can feel something clutching his heart,no matter how many memories he seal this pain will be something he never forget. Something that he can feel crawling under his skin whenever he got pushed onto the edge.

'...'

However, that fool is not so easy to fall, even if he did no matter how many time he fell, it won't take him down...I know it. Because even with failure and guilt filled his heart, his eyes had never loses its focus.

"...Pain and suffering...I'm used to those things! I know not everything will reach its happy end, be it normal or even bad end anything about those!"

The man said as one feather appears on his hand. Before he done something with that feather, he picked up one smartphone from his bag and did his plan about log in chain. He reset the stamp which is the progress he has made in the past.

'Not yet..I can't fall down in here. Wake up! Stop showing those ugly cries for the dead!'

'There's still many thing I want to do. The same as you, let's go to clear our own path.'

'...Don't you want to enjoy everything about this beautiful world? You'll soon come to like it!'

'Are you happy to live? Ahaha...What kind of question was that? Can't you guess from how close we're right now?'

'Your dream will never come true, those pathetic hope for peace is just your nature of a human.'

"...That's why I'll created mine...*Sigh* I'm being too emotional again."

Another memories flowing into the feather and another story end according his act. He'll soon come to forget about every each of his past journey and loses another part of his memories. However, he didn't even doubt for once when he sealed his memories into the feather.

The feather on his hand glow warmly, it's a pretty common act of him to seal his memories inside the feathers and placed it at this void. After glowing for a few second, the feather flowing down from his hand, sleeping with his past memories in front of him.

He stands from his place with a new resolve, he has threw his past to keep moving without its burden, in order to face his tomorrow all memories about his encounter with Skadi sealed inside the feather. The more I saw this, the more I think how ridiculous and pitiful his act of moving forgetting his past.

That's why, as long he's still being a fool. I don't want to meet him.

"Where next? Let's get it done."

The babbler spoke another verse of his journey, alone without any companion to color his life.

He walks to where it's supposed to be exit from this void. Just like a moth who chase after the flame yet no one but him who'll be burn to crisp. He's not a hero, no one push him to be hero, he could just use his power and reverse all creation to his liking because no one can stop him in his own world.

He could create or transfer to another world with his delight, add another woman who always love him and stand a top of the food chain.Collecting treasure, ascending mortal realm and travel with all of his woman to any universe he wanted.

Nevertheless, the man picked this choice. Based from how he respects another fictional character way of living and their moment which gave birth to how he's now. Along with that feather, he continues toward another adventure filled with demise.

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

*His PoV*

"...Hmm? I still haven't check my daily sign in again...reset?"

Noticing a phone in my hand I remembered something, as a message for the future me, I keep this little mischief in case I become stubborn and never intend to change my reasoning. Even if it's hard I need to change little by little to chase my goal.The easier one is this, log in chain which is the progress of my ninja road.

"...ha..haha.."

"Ahh I see,I..failed again didn't I."

Even if I know of my failure, because of how I barely know about the person I've faced, there's barely any remorse and weigh that drags me down while I keep blaming myself. Who knows if it's just some random ugly bastard or just me missing a lottery.

*SLAP-SLAP-SLAP*

As soon as negative thoughts appeared, I slapped my cheeks, buttocks, and soles of my feet. Like the man who always said "Everyone is a tool." or something, a good physical explosion to slap you back to reality.

"Yosh..next world we go,I wonder what's in my surprise this time."

After self-pleasure activities,I step into the gate to continue my "waifu-sagashi". White light envelope me as I enter the gate,the light still shining even though I already exiting the gate.

...

....

.....

'Ohhh..another surprise.'

When I opened my eyes there's nothing but black and white, even my self. The dancing green grass is not here but white dancing grass instead,the land where I stand is also nothing but white with some shade in it just like something in manga.

It's a silhouette world,nothing but black and white in here, or maybe a manga world? There's also big chance if this is from doujinshi world. Then, this small tower behind me...

'If I'm not wrong it's one of those'

Looking back I can see small shrine with some rune emitting brighter white from it.

'A key..or clear a challenge isn't?'

Putting my hand on this kind of invisible wall. I reminisce when I was a Traveler in Teyvat.

'Just till I meet Amber though.'

At the time it wasn't just storage and RAM that was the source of my problems for this game, but whenever I wanted to skip things down, and wait for a dialog box to pass, it took me about ten seconds or so, so I just took the pre-registration gift and uninstalled it again for another game.

I install it again when Hu Tao banner came up though in order to test my might but as you can guess, she never came home.

"Ah..yeah my phone and how can I forgot about You Kaban-kun."

These items always beside me whenever I'm hopping to different world or universe.

Why I know this? Whenever I put my memories inside the feather, I never pass "the point". Simply put, I only remove my memories about "that" world and set an anchor so I don't erase another memories beside those that's important for me. Same as Fuka-san when she's a flame chaser.

My smartphone is white so it turned black in here with little crack on it's top-right, Kaban-kun is my black backpack so it become white, inside the bag is my headphone and small diary note I used to write or whenever my phone battery dies.

'Yosh let's go.'

Deciding to continue my walk I keep my guard up while in my trip, who knows when there's suddenly "YAAAKHH" ten meters from you and bgm start rolling or a bushi with a counter skill appear and shout his special moves, or maybe this is just Dusk's painting and some random dog monk shouting "Natto..." yeah like that.

'Then where is this? Mond? Li Yue? Inazuma? Ganaji?...wait the last one seems different.'

Not a long after crossing the forest, I came into a cliff where I can see a Hilichurls base as a free exp for Traveler. However there's nothing beside their house over there, do Hilichurls moving out or something? There's no way they're from THAT doujin Hilichurls' right? Right?

Well for now let's concluded this place from Genshin, as for most part of main quest in Genshin it's always involves an Archon and their pet,if it's not then some national cases where Traveler need to solve while looking for clues about their sibling.

You can get lot of rewards there or more exactly Primos.

Enough with my self less monologue, I walk closer to step into the range where they could notice me.

...

....

.....

"...No one?"

There's no drumming nor fire slime flying at my face. It's weird, usually even when they're still cooking that'll not stop them from greetings me with their club. Yet now, not even one Hilicurls come into my sight.

Creeping inside their base I peek inside their houses.

"...Hmm not even common chest in here."

Knowing no harms reside, I enter their base and houses to check anything as a clue which shows nothing good.

'No one.'

Getting inside their house,I found nothing in there. Not even their camp fire and cauldron so no cooking for me in this place, not like I want to taste food in this area either. But who took it? Do cooking utensil are not part of this world so they can be erased?

After being disappointed by this catch, I walked away from their thatched base and forest to return to the cliff from before.

'Is it doujin? Calamity? or Dead world? If it's dead world then how can there's grass which show the sign of living things?'

One by one as I kept guessing at the roots of this world with my eyes closed and suddenly an idea popped up. Not only because when I closed my eyes, but also when I remember more taller place than this cliff.

'I guess it's change too,it's kinda weird.'

Surprised as when I closed my eyes it's turn into white space instead of black.

"...higher place then."

Opening my eyelid,thinking if it's better to have a large range of view I decided to search for higher land. That I'll soon regret it on the way, I mean who wouldn't travel every nook of this map when they're once a beginner? What only me? Fine then.

...

....

.....

"Hufff...I guess I really need to go Dragon Spine huuuff."

After what I felt for an hour in my search, I was able to see the Dragon Spine which was covered in black snow. I thought since this is a mountain, there will be a rainbow and I can see the difference from the canon one, looks like my guess failed again.

"...nahh too cold and I'm not into mountain climbing."

Giving up in my search of high land and to black snowy mountain, I rest my body beside a lake on the grass and decide to rest my body only to remember what happen when you keep your eyes closed.

'Wind,water and earth still coexist with fire yet why is this happen. Not even bug fly or bit me on this grass.'

"Hupp..."

I raise my body with a weird sound effect comes out from my mouth. While on my journey of this place, I can feel the resonance of element worked fine and they're still in balance with each other, which made another assumption if there's third party taking part.

"All this elemental harmony and following the common senses...while no humanoid creature nor bug as the development of living things...Did I got transferred to when the game being created?"

Even when I play the game, Paimon keep dragged me "To not go here","To not go there" , however she can't stop me from doing whatever I wanted, well...in the end I've to do main quest to meet laggy dragon for the first time.

Most of my time is just me trying to escape from Paimon drag me away from exploring another areas.

'Now then, it's time to move into the stage. Implementing bio restructure for self, shift excessive energy to enhance body performance.'

"Using the feather to sense any sentience, and my spell to enhance my stamina."

Using two of my power to gain drastic change than with on foot, I searched for any sentience that I could find in this world using the feather as the sensor of living being and raising my body performance to find anyone.

...

....

...

'...Found one.'

I spin my head to where I've found the sign from my feather and tensing every muscle in my body.

"Soko Da!."

Naruto dashing to the signal way inside my head, I run through meadow, jumping from trees to other trees, leap across the river to not miss the chance from meeting this sentience being. Doesn't matter if it'll turned to be unknown god, because there's should be a reason for her descend.

...

....

.....

Not long after I can see a familiar places,with the crumbled walls and all this vegetation.I can remember this place from afar because of how phenomenal this bridge where most pigeon dies were. The same bridge I'm standing right now.

'No Timmie,too bad.'

I thought I can try it for real but to no avail that kid is not here. For once I thought he's the one waiting for me in this place, and shows his ultimate form or something.

"Whoaa...Normally it took many years to make it molded like that, how many years I wonder..."

The Mondstadt before me is not the same city in the game, because of how old this place seems and due to negative filter of black and white, on the contrary it gave me a vibe of ghost city more than city of freedom.

There's only torn and broken windmill,the wall that protect this city already reduce to rubble,houses that fill along the street is nothing but a boulder and rubble now, the houses got destroyed and removed to each side as if someone have used their hand to wipe the middle part of this city.

I keep walking deeper toward their church to where Barbatos statue supposed to stand tall.But again it's already destroyed, left with a small part of it's leg and at the end of my view where the church build was...

There's no church over there too.

'...Something happen to this world?'

When I keep looking for the remnant of the church, I found it destroyed down near the water. It's sleeping down there and turned into a rubble when I gaze down from the cliff where the church stand before, with another clue to add, I has found huge trace of slashing which seems to cut this land and destroyed this building.

'Archon war!? But wasn't Mondstat established after it...Could it be someone from Mondstandt?'

I felt if there's something really wrong happening inside this Genshin world right now.

'Escape? or search? but what about that signal before? Could it be she lives down there?'

I hesitant to pick,but I decided to raise my reasoning and calm my mind. Using the feather as sensor for anything that catch into its net. Once again I closed my eyes, to gain better focus.

"...Close."

Because both the spell and the feather are still on, I can feel if the one I need to look for is not too far, even closer than how I thought which is clearly not under those church.

*Tuk*

A small stone rolled into my way.

'..so it's her.'

Turning my head I can see a teenager with long ears and twin tails standing locking it's eyes on me. Hard to tell her clothes color but as I know She's an elf, her hair must be blonde and that hat plus a cute rabbit ball which was from that one child character.

There was a hint of hesitation on her face when her eyes and mine met, even now she wore that surprised face as if someone had gotten a six star limited character in a limited banner with one last pull of their primos.

Not long after that, I guess she can finally comprehend the being in front of her. She start teared up and weeping her eyes with her long sleeves while sobbing alone in this destroyed land.

"..."

However, I didn't immediately hug her and comfort her frail figure right now, because...one thing. I don't want to give her a false hope.

"..Some..one..*sobbing* K-Klee...Uhkkk....alone...Kuhkk...ha..."

After hearing that piece from her sobbing self, I can pull some theories from it. However, using the feather to confirm her true statement...

'Thankfully...Thankfully there's someone in here...I...Don't want to be alone anymore in here...'

"..."

For now I'll comfort this teenager pyro terrorist first, and maybe...treat her well.
