16 Distributing the PV - part 1

The company had been established for more than ten days, and the game development was going smoothly. The staff of Schicksal had inherited the game's prototypes and code, which were surprisingly well-made and advanced. The code team was amazed by the game code and the engine, but they also noticed that the game code had some traces of Homu's style. They wondered if they would get sued by the Homu company, but they were relieved that Homu had given up their rights to Schicksal.

The official website was also ready, and Luo Mo was very pleased with it.

The dubbing team had also finished the first four chapters as planned, and they even 'kindly' invited Theresa, the school director, to do some of the voice acting. She 'happily' agreed to lend her voice.

It was a cause for celebration!

The animation team, however, was lagging behind. They had only completed two PVs under Luo Mo's guidance.

"Quick, come here, the PV has been uploaded to the website, let's watch it together." Luo Mo called everyone over, which included Mei, Kiana, Bronya, and Fu Hu.

Theresa and Himeko were still at the academy office, but they were also curious about the game they had voiced and Schicksal had invested in. They promised to watch it later.

The five of them gathered around the computer and clicked on the video site, where the video was being promoted by all the major platforms of Schicksal. The viewers were quickly drawn in by the video's stunning animation.

The screen went black, and then Mei's voice came in, sounding sad and reluctant.

[We didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.]

[So… I won't think of this as farewell]

The first scene showed Mei's voice, and then an illustration of

Kiana on the left, Mei on the right, in the middle was the rooftop of a school with barbed wire around it, and beyond that was a dark sky, with flashes of lightning and thunder announcing a storm.

Only Kiana and Mei knew this place among the students of St. Freya's Academy. This was where Mei became a Herrscher in Chiba Academy, where Kiana saved her, where Mei and Kiana confessed their feelings, and where everything began for them.

Then the scene changed to Kiana on the right and Mei on the left, with Kiana lying down, her eyes closed. The barbed wire fence was broken and there was a slash in the middle, as if to symbolize their separation and estrangement. Outside was the rooftop where they first met, but with a warm color scheme, while they were both heartbroken and drifting apart.

Kiana was unconscious, and Mei had her back to the sky and the sun. She was dressed as a oni warrior from the far east, with two horns on her head. She didn't have the madness of the Herrscher, but her eyes were full of tenderness, sorrow and reluctance.

She tilted her head slightly, as if she was about to look away at any moment, or as if she wanted to take one last look at Kiana.

"Wait, boss, what do those two pictures mean? And besides, Mei and I are not going to split up! Let alone… That farewell!" Kiana was already anxious after seeing the beginning. It was like a thunderbolt out of the blue for her.

"It's just a game, it's normal for it to be a bit exaggerated," Luo Mo said, without any guilt.

"As for what it means, you'll have to play the game to find out."

The screen faded to black, and then the narration continued, in a neutral tone, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with them.

[The war has begun, a continuation of the last war]

The next scene showed the battlefield of the Second Honkai in Siberia, starting with a shot of a snowy plain, covered with snow, and a tower with a huge hole in it in the distance.

On the snow, Theresa, Cecilia, Siegfried, a mature man with glasses and Sirin, who was floating in the air with six Gems around her, were confronting each other, with a blonde clown masked figure in the corner.

"Look, it's my parents and my great aunt," Kiana exclaimed, pointing at the screen, "and my sister? Why does she look like a bad guy!"

The scene changed again, and Fu Hua was holding the Taixu Sword God, a massive golden sword that reached the clouds in the sky. Next to her was a woman in Divine State clothes holding a green sword, as she helped the blonde man, who seemed to be seriously wounded, with blood coming out of his body. Across from them was the purple-haired Sirin, who was under the sword, and looked terrified.

"Is that really the class president? She looks so cool in that outfit, and what a pose!" Kiana said enviously, looking at Fu Hua on the screen.

She really wanted to learn that move herself. With a swoosh sound, the sword fell from the clouds. It was so awesome. This was what suited the name of the strongest female Valkyrie.

Fu Hua, however, was silent. This was supposed to be a game?

Wasn't this the scene of the second Honkai, and her own Taixu Sword God?

And Luo Mo seemed to know her identity. He had also called her Red Kite Immortal on the plane. Fu Hua adjusted her glasses, and there was a cold light in her eyes.

[Honkai girl: The outline of desire with six types of light].

Then Sirin's figure appeared in the center, still surrounded by six gems. Then her figure faded away and disappeared. In her place six gems occupied six parts of the screen. The image was split into six parts: Conquering Thunder and Lightning, Blistering Flames of Blight, Storms of Desire, Quiet Death and the Core of Herrscher of Reason and the Core of Herrscher of Void.

[As a symbol of their power that can be attained]

The Core of the Herrscher of Reason changed into the image of a mature man with glasses;

The Core of the Herrscher of Void showed the image of Kiana, but her eyes were golden, and she had a presence that Kiana lacked.

And then the Conquest Gem revealed a sword-wielding figure with a plain black silhouette; the Blight Gem displayed the image of a mature woman with a great sword; the Desire Gem showed the image of a person in a wheelchair, whose gender was unclear; and the Tranquility Gem remained unchanged.

Gradually, Kiana's eyes also changed, the proud and rebellious golden eyes slowly turned into a serene blue color;

And the figure of the man with glasses transformed into a short loli with a black shadow.

The foundation of reality was buried with the ashes of a shadowy flame.

And at the last moment of the transformation, the Blight Gem's figure abruptly changed into a black silhouette with a high ponytail and a large sword.

[This is a warning to the intruders]

The POV changed, and the screen showed an empty island, where Kiana with long hair and golden eyes was floating in the air. Next to her feet was Fu Hua, who had fallen to the ground. She stared coldly at a blonde man on the opposite side, who was wearing the uniform of the Heaven's Schicksal Bishop. He didn't look afraid, but calm and even smiling. He had a casual and confident attitude, and he didn't back down from the confrontation.

[The throne of God in the high heavens was never meant for you.]

[But O usurper, don't stop there.]

No one can be a bystander.

Watch.

The screen went black, and then only a few large words appeared on the screen - The Beginning and End of the Dream - with four small words on top of it: St. Freya.

[St. Freya - The Beginning and End of Dreams]

[The campus is where a young girl's dream starts.]

"But it's also where all the 'nightmares' begin."

[The dream will end someday. Is it still beautiful when only she protects it?]

The screen showed Kiana fighting with Mei and Bronya, in a metal tunnel with them, the Crash Beast and the Mechanical Titan.

The screen focused on Kiana, who still had a smile on her lips despite the battle. She kicked down, smashing a giant cat claw into the Crash Beast, while Mei was next to her holding a knife to defend against the Titan. Her eyes glanced over to Kiana's side.

Bronya was a bit further away with her gun, and a giant mechanical arm behind her held her small body. It was ready to support her at any moment.

"Ugh, why does this line sound so bad? It's nightmare and dream again." Mei complained after reading it. After all, it was a story based on herself, so she still cared about it.

"A tragedy for sure." Bronya said succinctly.

"Hey, I asked my boss and he said it's a story with a happy ending and a healing process too." Kiana said as she cuddled up to Mei.

The duo decided to give the story a chance for now.

(Schicksal Headquarters - Journey to Tomorrow)

[In the Void Space, the Apostle of God was killed]

[In her last moments, she sacrificed everything for her students to return to tomorrow]

The screen showed a space where nothing made sense, where there was no sky or ground, where only the eternal black color was the main theme, and where things that defied logic appeared. A huge meteorite was scattered and floated slowly in the air, ignoring gravity.

Himeko-sensei, wearing her fiery Armor, was holding a blazing sword and facing 'Kiana', who had golden eyes and a long dress that gave her a queenly aura.

At this time, 'Kiana' had changed her usual twisted braid. Her long hair hung down, and her expression was wild and domineering. 'Kiana' had a blue dragon under her feet, while Himeko's sword was about to burn out. The two sides looked mismatched in power.

Kiana's face was relaxed, and she had a huge dragon by her side. Himeko's body was marked with Honkai energy, and she was still panting, as if she was on the verge of death.

In the end, Himeko Murata swung her great sword with force, and with a slash, red flames erupted. Instead of showing the clash, the screen jumped to the next scene.

Somewhere in St. Freya

Cecilia teased her adopted daughter's slightly chubby face and said, "This is the game your sister Kiana made. She was boasting about it to you. It does look pretty good."

The strongest Valkyrie of the past had lost her power after the second Honkai. And it seemed that Sirin recognized her. If Cecilia wasn't around for a few days, the sound of the Honkai would drag her back into the abyss.

So, for various reasons and according to her own wishes, Cecilia now lived in St. Freya's Academy. On one hand, she wanted to take care of her two careless daughters. On the other hand, this was what she and Theresa had agreed to do: to find a reason for more Valkyries to fight, not just for the sake of the good in their slogan.

How could one be so determined to protect the good in life without experiencing it? She and Theresa believed so and acted accordingly.

She had already asked Bishop Kallen about it, but the bishop trusted the teenager completely. It was clear that Schicksal intended to bring the Honkai into the public eye. And her child Sirin… The personality issue and the control gem issue were still not completely resolved. And the matter of Sirin Herrscher…

"Hmph, that Kiana-like villain must have been modeled after me. I'm going to teach her a lesson when she comes back," Sirin said. She was wearing a t-shirt and shorts with teriri's promotional slogans on them.

Her hair was simply combed back, and she was skillfully playing the game on her computer. She watched the video as she did so, ignoring her teammates' complaints in the game.

"So, when are you going to go outside more?" Cecilia said helplessly.

"Hmph, I only need Bella and mom anyway. All the other humans don't matter."
