Honkai Star Rail: I am the Emanator of all Eons

-Well, it looks like I'm in trouble.

I don't know how I got into this situation.

I started today like any other day, I woke up after having spent the whole night playing the Honkai Star Rail video game. Following this pattern, I should wake up and then go to college, study, come home, train and go back to playing video games. But, now, I find myself floating aimlessly in space?

For some reason, I can breathe normally even though I'm in a vacuum. Anyway, I won't think about it too much; at least I'm still alive.

In front of me, there's a really fascinating view but... this is really boring. I can't do anything...

No matter how much I shake my limbs, I can't move from the same place, I'm in space after all.

-I know, maybe I can kill time with something I find in my buns. Let's see what I've got~ Well, I've got my cell phone!

And, for some reason, the battery bar shows the infinity sign.

-I also have a portable mirror.... Why the heck do I have this? And also... why do I have a banana in the bowl...? Anyway, I'll eat it when I get hungry.

The surprises don't end there. When I saw my reflection in the mirror...

-Huh? Why did my face become so young?

Not only my face, but my body too! This is me when I was 9 years old!

-... Anyway, I'll kill time playing with the cell phone.

It was my original idea until...

-Oh, no. What the hell happened?! Who uninstalled all the gacha games for me?! Arknights, FGO, Azur Lane, Honkai Impact 3, Honkai Star Rail, none of them are here! Who was the bastard who committed such an atrocity?!

Not only the porridge games, all the apps in general are gone.

-But, come to think of it, there's no wifi in space either. Well, at least I still have chess, although I'll only be able to play solo....

And that's what I did.

Time passed and so, I discovered several more changes about my body. For example, I don't feel hungry or thirsty, nor do I need to go to the bathroom. Most of my basic needs no longer need attention. But what is still there is tiredness, it seems that I will still need to sleep.

-*Bostezo*~ Man, how bored I am. I'm going to take a nap. By then, I hope to have woken up from this weird dream.

Of course, something as surreal as being in space could only have been a dream I thought.

I couldn't have been more wrong...

...

..

-Hm?

I felt a strange vibration caress my skin.

When I rubbed my eyes to get a better look, an absurd scene appeared before me.

-Aren't those two Lan and Yaoshi from the Honkai Star Rail gacha game? What are they doing fighting?

They are both Aeons. So to speak, the deities of the Honkai Star Rail game.

-Am I still dreaming? Anyway, at least they'll serve as entertainment. Where did I keep my banana?

While I was looking for which bun I had kept the banana in so I could eat it as a snack and enjoy the divine fight that came my way, Yaoshi escapes towards this direction and Lan shoots his arrows in response.

-Oh hell. At this rate, I think I'm going to get hit. There's no choice, dodge! Hum!

I tried with all my might to move from the spot. So to speak, I tried to swim into space with the frog kick; but it was no use. I almost got hit by one of Lan's world-destroying arrows.

-You bastard! You almost hit me! Don't you have any aim! Come on, I'll teach you a lesson!

I tried to act threatening but I look really stupid if I think about it again. I am challenging an Aeon...

For some inexplicable reason, Yaoshi stops running away and Lan stops attacking. They both look in my direction with genuine curiosity.

-You know what? Forget it, no lesson is needed anymore.

The presence of both Aeons is suffocating, I immediately cringe as I feel their direct stares.

Come to think of it, what am I doing talking to them? We're in space, it's the void. It's not like they can hear me, so nothing will happen even if I insult them.

But, just in case, I'll still behave myself. Make no mistake, it's not that I've chickened out, it's my own dream, what's there to be scared of? I'm just showing basic education because it's the right thing to do, that's right. It's not like the Aeons can read mints, right...? Right?

-What's the matter with you guys? -Why are you staring at me? Keep fighting, ignore me and pretend I don't exist. Go ahead.

-...

-...

No answer.

Devil, did I offend you? Hm... well, that didn't sound polite at all I guess. I'd better pose as a corpse to pass unnoticed.

After an awkward silence, both Aeons come to an agreement of a ceasefire, both approaching me.

(What a curious existence. By any chance, do you come from another universe?)

-Huh?

An ethereal voice rang in my mind, was it that Yaoshi?

(Tell me human, what is your name?)

Is that Lan's voice?

-My name... Teehee~ What was it?

(...)

(...)

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! How embarrassing!!!

-You can call me Nadie.

Even though I have all my memories intact, for some reason I don't remember my name. So I decided to call myself by the nickname I used in Honkai Star Rail for the time being.

(Tell me Nadie, how do you feel?)

-Me? How do I feel? Well, normal... I guess.

I didn't quite understand what Yaoshi was referring to but I answered as best I could.

(Hm... Well. Tell me Nadie, do you want to become my Emanador? Do you want the blessing of Abundance?)

-Huh?

Again I was puzzled, me becoming Yaoshi's Emanator? If I remember correctly, the power of Abundance grants longevity in exchange for being possessed by Mara.

-No thanks.

I declined.

(Hm... okay. I'll give it to you anyway.)

-Hey!

Why are you asking if you'll still give it to me?! Oh, hell no. I can feel a strange energy enter my body!

(Yaoshi, you wretch! How dare you mess it up like that in front of me!!!)

-Stop, why do you have to say it like that? Now I feel violated...

I'm a healthy 20 year old man (mentally by my 9 year old body now) and it's the first time I feel so strange about my own body.

In this way, both of them started arguing again and are about to fight again.

-Both of you, calm down, don't you have any dignity? You are Aeons, you should show dignity no matter what the situation is. While I understand I'm charming, that doesn't give you reason to fight, so don't fight over me!

Damn, I always wanted to say that sentence sometime in my life.

-So here, Yaoshi, take a look in the mirror and reflect on what you've done to me without my consent! And you, Lan, eat this banana and calm down!

Oddly enough, they both play along and actually calm down.

-Good, good boy.

I praised them both.

Again, the curious gaze of both of them rested on me.

(A truly unique existence.)

(You even know about our identities.)

Oh, so they know I'm not from here. Hm... wait, this is getting too realistic. This is a dream, right...? ...Right?

I mean, I said too many things that I owed to an Aeon...

I'm only able to act like this because I thought I was in a dream. Don't tell me that...

(It's okay, I'll share my powers with you too then.)

-Huh?

Wait, two Aeons are going to make me their Emanator just like that?

-Wait!

Lan didn't let me finish speaking and I felt another strange power flow inside me.

 Hey, why are you guys giving me your powers just like that!!! Two Pathways at the Emanator level, what do I do if I explode from some kind of overload or whatever!!!!

I know that the Pathfinder also runs several Pathways at the same time, but the power quality is too different!

Also, is it okay to just hand over your powers just like that? I'm just a guy you met less than 5 minutes ago.

(Fine. Now you're free to do whatever.)

-Wait, you'll just leave after blessing me? By the way, where is Yaoshi?

She disappeared without a trace....

-Ah no, there's a note. Let's see.

Some letters shone on the space in front of me.

"Thanks for the mirror Nadie, I'll take care of it."

-...

(...)

Escaped.

(Death to Abundance!!!!!!!!)

-Hey, wait!

Lan is gone too. Now I was alone again.

-Hell, at least they were able to get me to the nearest planet.

Wandering in space again, but this time without my mirror and banana, what am I supposed to do...?
