I Was Reincarnated Into Honkaiverse, But I’ve Never Played the Game

Well... yeah, this happened. Some people were requesting me to keep Honkai arc Urien the same way without making him remember his Evil Lord persona. So, here it is, I’m making a new fanfiction for that. Since I’ve already planned a sequel for the Honkai arc of “I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?”, I might also make the separate fanfiction for that. Don’t worry, I’ll also update the Evil Lord fic. The starting will be the same, but I’ll be editing here and there to make the MC of this fic more alive. I’ll be adding more things I couldn’t add in the Evil Lord fic. The story will keep going the same until Urien gets his memories unsealed. After that, it’ll be a whole new storyline, different from the Evil Lord one. Let’s go! No system, no canon knowledge, just our new MC trying his best in the new world. Yes, I'm keeping Luna aka Sakuya Izayoi in this story. Thank you, Soko for this amazing cover art!

Death and Reincarnation

Inside the hospital room, a young man at the age of around 23 is lying on the bed. He is a good-natured young man with a bright future ahead. But that bright future changed at his 20 years of age.

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

3 years ago,

At night, a dark-haired young man walks through the neighborhood while reading the latest chapter of Sousei no Onmyouji.

"Damn, it never feels old to see the interaction between Rokuro and Benio," he smiled a little. He remembered the first time he met his girlfriend.

"We were also like them when we met for the first time, huh?" he thought. He then noticed a young girl around the age of 10 was trying to cross the road alone without looking at the lane. So the coincidence of a truck is also coming with speed.

As a good-natured young man, he couldn't just stand there and let the girl die in his watch. So he quickly ran toward the young girl and pushed her out of the way. But he didn't have time for himself to dodge and got hit by the truck.

Luckily or rather, unluckily, he didn't die right there. But instead, his legs got smashed to pieces, and his spine stopped working. Of course, if it were some other families, they would stop caring about him right now. But his family loved him dearly, and they had done all they could to make him live. And his girlfriend never stopped visiting and always visited him twice or thrice a week.

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

Present,

"Elle, you shouldn't waste your college life by coming here whenever you are free. My injuries are getting worse and worse. During the last 3 years, I can't even take you out for a date. Seriously, I am a failure as a boyfriend," the young man said while having a sad smile.

"It is okay, I don't mind. Don't you dare have negative thoughts, idiot," the white-haired girl beside him replied. She is currently putting flowers in the flower pot.

"Elle, let's break up," the young man said with a serious face.

"And like I've replied to you for past thousands of times, NO! Just because you became crippled and couldn't go on dates with me, it doesn't mean I need to break up with you," she replied with a humph.

"Seriously, what did I do to deserve such a girlfriend," he sighed wryly.

At that time, the door opened, and three people walked in.

"Oh, you arrived early, Elle," said the middle-aged man.

"Yes, I came here as soon as I finished the lecture," Elle replied.

"You must be tired coming here with haste. I'll do the cleaning. You can sit down and take a rest," the middle-aged woman said.

"Yes, you should take the rest now that we are here, Elle," the boy at the age of around 20 said.

"Sigh, I will take a rest now," Elle finally gives in.

"I don't know how to repay you for taking care of my idiot brother," the young boy said.

"Hey! I am still here, you know. You shouldn't talk to your brother like that, Troy."

"But you are still an idiot. Oh, and here you go. The light novels you ordered just arrived. Can I read the title?" Troy asked.

"Sure, go ahead."

"Let's see. Kuro no Maou, Katahane no Riku and… Isekai Nonbiri Nouka? The theme is different from the two before. And all of them are isekai. Wait, didn't Katahane no Riku is release in 2014?" Troy read out the novel titles.

"Hey, those are not that different!"

"Of course, a mature theme like war and gore is not too different from Slice of Life like Isekai Nonbiri Nouka. Like your brother said, you are an idiot, Owen," Elle snide from the side.

"Well, I saw the manga of that LN and am going to try it out," Owen replied.

"And look at here, I got Caren with a ticket," Owen said while showing his FGO servant list.

"Goddammit, you are making me angry!" Troy replied angrily. And so, the bickering between the two brothers continues.

After an hour or two later, his family said goodbye and returned home. Then, an hour later, his girlfriend too left to go back home.

"As I thought, it took a lot out of my energy. Seems like I don't have much time," he muttered. He is fully aware of his body breaking down. Yet, he tried to stay as nothing had happened because of his family and girlfriend.

The next day,

Just like any day else, his girlfriend and family visited Owen. But he knew that he won't be able to live past today. Even breathing became a chore to him.

"Elle," he started.

"Save your breath, Owen. I'm not breaking up with you," the girl replied, not wanting to hear more of it.

"Did something happen, brother?" His brother Troy, noticing the strange atmosphere coming from Owen, asked.

"I don't think I'll be able to live past today," he smiled a little. He wasn't sad about dying. But he was sad to leave this awesome family and loving girlfriend like Elle alone.

"Stop joking, dude. It's not funny," the horrified look appeared on his brother's face when he noticed that Owen was not kidding. "Wait here, and don't die on me. I'm calling mom and dad," with that, Troy left Owen's bedside.

Elle, noticing the situation, came to his bedside sluggishly and dropped onto the chair like a puppet whose strings had been cut. "It's a lie, right?" she sobbed. "Please tell me it's a lie," she added.

Owen smiled wryly. He wanted to caress her cheeks, but he noticed that he couldn't move his body. "Ah... I'm going to die," tears swell up in his eyes.

At that time, the door opened with a bang, and three people rushed inside the room. "Owen!" they shouted, not caring about their manners.

"Mom... Dad...," he started. His voice is soft, not like his usual happy-go-lucky voice. "Thank you for being a fantastic parent. I am fortunate to be your child," he smiles, albeit tears fall down from his eyes.

"Troy, stop being a dick and take care of them," he tried to joke, but it made his family more sad than happy.

"And Elle," he started. "Move on," with that final word, Owen Frost died of heart failure.

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

Standing in the void, Owen opened his eyes. "Hmm... where am I?" he muttered. "I remembered dying on the hospital bed," he added.

"Yes, you are dead. You know the procedure, and so do I," the voice boomed behind Owen. Standing there is a man in his late forties. "There are many behind you waiting to be reincarnated. So without further ado, let's start."

Without waiting for Owen to understand the situation, the man brought out six wheels. "Here are six wheels of gacha to help you with your new life," the man said, without waiting for Owen.

"The first wheel! This will determine what ability you will be getting," the man spins the wheel, making Owen looks at it intensely. And the pointer stops at...

[Blank]

[Knowledge is power, and if your opponent knows about you will have advantages over you. But with this skill, nobody will be able to see you with clairvoyants, and even danger senses cannot warn their users of an incoming attack from you. Furthermore, your future and past cannot be observed with divination.]

"Hmm... a nice support skill," the man nodded. "Now! Onto another one. This one is the same as the last one," he said and spun the wheel. The pointer stopped at...

[Technological Invisibility]

[The user cannot be detected by any technological systems, rendering security systems useless. It is impossible to videotape or photograph the user unless they allow it.]

"That's weird... another support ability. It looks like fate is urging you to be a spy or something," the man scratches his head. He had never seen someone who got two support skills in a role.

"Now, onto the final wheel to determine your ability. I wish you luck, boy," the man said and prayed for Owen. But to their horror, the wheel stopped at...

[Heroic Background Music]

[Like the name said, heroic background music is a skill to open BGM when the situation arises. No need to worry, as the BGM will be chosen automatically to match the situation the user is facing and play it for the people around the area to listen. During the duration of BGM, the user's overall ability will be significantly improved. The cooldown of this ability is 24 hours.]

"I...," The man was speechless, and so did Owen. "I don't know what to say," the man added. He looked over Owen with pity.

"Now, this time will be a totally different wheel," the man said, trying to dispel the awkward situation before. "This will determine your weapon you will be getting," the man said as he spun the wheel. And the pointer stopped at...

[Nine Five Legendary Brick]

[Rank - Legendary]

[One brick in hand can dominate the entire world, able to ignore all defensive capabilities. One hit on the head will 100% guarantee knockout for one minute, can repeatedly be used, not effective on other parts of the body.]

"FuHAHAHAH!!! What's up with your luck!" the man couldn't control his laughter and laughed out loud in front of Owen.

Poor Owen doesn't know whether laugh or cry; his face is full of helplessness. He wanted to ask why or how he got here, but the man in front of him was speedrunning the reincarnation process.

"Now, this will determine which companion will be accompanying you," the man walked over to another wheel and spun it. And the pointer stopped at...

[Sakuya Izayoi]

[The all-powerful time-stopping maid. Agreed to accompany the reincarnator after her mistress died of old age. Since she connected her life with time, she cannot die as long as the concept of time exists. Her loyalty to the reincarnator will be set to max.]

"Hmm... after all of the memeable rewards, something nice came," the man nodded, looking satisfied at his handiwork.

Owen was also happy about the result. Sakuya Izayoi is one of his favorite female characters. With her helping him, Owen believed that he could at least survive in any world he'd be dropping into.

"Now, onto the final wheel, which will determine the world you'll be reincarnating into. Let's start," the man started as he looked over to the result. And the result was...

[Honkai Impact 3rd]

Do you remember what Owen said before? Yeah, scratch that. He's going to die. He regretted not playing the game when his brother and girlfriend told him to. The only thing he knew was the game was depressing, Otto was a good villain, Elysia is cute, never buy what Senti-chan sells, and be nice to Mei. That's it. He needed to go into that world with just that knowledge.

"Now, let me tell you the things you needed to know before reincarnating:

1. You'll be reborn as a baby.

2. Your companion will arrive near you whenever they like.

3. There will be no reincarnator like you in the place you'll be reincarnating.

And finally, have fun," the man said. "Oh yeah, your parents died of old age. Your brother took over your parents' company and worked hard to make you and your parents proud.

Your girlfriend opened an orphanage while remaining single, not being able to move on from your death," the man suddenly dropped a bomb on Owen.

"Wait... what—" even before Owen could finish, he was sent to the reincarnation cycle.

"Have fun," the man grinned and waved goodbye. "Man, it never gets old to drop a bomb like that," he laughed. "Next!"

Year xxx, Date xx, Previous Era

Location: Somewhere around Australia

It was hell. A strange lady suddenly appeared in the sky and started burning down everything on her way.

She has fiery red hair with her eyes burning bright with fire.

To fight against this powerful opponent known as the 7th Herrscher, Dr. MEI proposed to insert the useful Emperor Class Honkai genes and DNA into the human body to give them a better chance against the Honkai. And those who underwent the test will be called MANTIS, (M)assively (A)ugmented (N)eo-(T)ech (I)ntegrated (S)oldiers.

To battle the 7th Herrscher, many people volunteered to undergo the test. But only two people survived. The first one is Kevin, and his gene donor was the Emperor Class Honkai Codenamed Parvati, with the power of freezing the water molecule.

The second one to undergo is Lloyd Mervyn. His gene donor was the Emperor Class Honkai Codenamed Vayu, with the power of manipulating the wind.

The two of them were immediately dispatched to battle against the enemy rampaging in Australia.

The two of them fought hard against the Herrscher with the help of the backup sent by the HQ. The battle lasted for nearly a day, but they had won. Humanity had won against the 7th Herrscher. The only thing they needed to do was to kill the woman.

"I am sorry, Himeko," a white-haired boy was straddling the lying body of the woman with a sword in his hand.

The woman said nothing and touched his cheek while smiling.

"Don't be. Between humanity and me, you chose humanity. And I am proud of you," she said weakly.

"I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry," the words keep on repeating like a broken cassette, and tears are falling down from Lloyd's eyes like a broken dam.

"Now, do what you need to do," there is not a hint of anger in her eyes as she had already accepted her death.

"Himeko… I love you," Lloyd said while aiming his sword to the heart of the woman.

"And… I only wanted to create a peaceful world for the two of us," Himeko said weakly as the sword stabbed her heart.

The relationship started as childhood friends had ended just like that when Lloyd killed his beloved with his own hands.

Year 2013, Month June, Date 17, Current Era

A young boy at the age of 16 woke up from the bed with cold sweat covering his body.

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

Author's Note;

Yup! I'm doing this. No system, no chaotic MC, no canon knowledge! Just plain old Urien now renamed Lloyd's adventure. Since I have the story outline before Urien gets his memory back, I'll be updating this faster than my Evil Lord fic.

Now, onto the two rewards of Lloyd. Yes, that BGM and Brick. I would add them in Evil Lord fic as a reward when Urien gets back his memory. But you guys got to see it here first.
