February 2014.
Nagazora, Far East.
"February 2014, Cocolia detonates a Honkai energy bomb, Raiden Mei snaps, absorbs the suddenly abundant Honkai energy around her and ascends to the throne of the 3rd Herrscher..."
The young boy, our diligent Narrator is none other than our Protagonist, Raihou Fukai. (AN: Protagonist name reveal so late lmao)
Stading atop one of the many ruined apartments in the now devastated Nagazora, Raihou Fukai sets gazes upon the horizon, watching the departing Hyperion that took away Raiden Mei, K423 and Bronya.
"Although I understand that they believe abaolutely no human would ever survive being in the vicinity of a Honkai Eruption, it pisses me off that they never sent out any rescue teams, or at least investigation teams to see if there were any survivors at all."
Being a reincarnator, Fukai knows well that there were survivors in the area, most of them were children that Raven picked up, and according to the game's events, a few adults too though Raven most definitely didn't care about the adults. Neither did the game honestly, it was mentioned in passing from the mouth of the children.
"2015, Manila eruption... Owl... And after that, the Game Canon starts at 2016, with a clean Finality (haha) in December 2018.
'Would Star Rail end by the time Kevin passes away..?'
"No, I only need to time Amphoreus to end by mid 2018, to maximize the impact. After all, the Amphoreus Flame Chasers are a loose imitation of the Elysian Realm Flame Chasers. If nothing else, I'd love to see the looks in their faces, and Raiden Mei's too, as they witness a story and characters not so different from their own."
Perched on the broken rooftop like some cheap imitation of Spider-m*n, the young man continues his monologue despite being surrounded by Zombies radiating purple, evil looking miasma.
"Yeah, that should be a good enough rough idea. For now,"
*hup* (leaping noises)
The young man, having finished his monologue decides to move, leaping directly in front of the dangerous Zombies.
The horde of Zombies, corpses corrupted by Honkai Energy and became monsters that hunts down humanity, parted to give him way.
"Uhh, right, is there any of those mosquitoes around? I need someone fast."
Prompted by his words, a singular Angel-type Honkai Beast floats down. Before it even managed to transmit a wave of message-
*Chak* "!!?"
Raihou Fukai, the current pseudo-Herrscher of Corruption, stabbed the Angel's head with a purple curved dagger.
The Angel's pink Honkai energy is thus corrupted, gradually changing from Pink to Purple, from a mere servant of the Honkai...to a servant of the Herrscher of Corruption.
"Send a message to about every Honkai Beast and Zombies around here... No moving or fighting for 3 days."
The Angel, it's body radiating purple miasma, sets out to accomplish it's task.
"Time to help people or, whatever. Sure hope Raven is around, I don't think I have the money to make shelters and stuff."
Hopping and dashing across the damaged buildings and roads, this Sung-Chin Woo wannabe that is our protagonist sets out to do charity for once in his life...
*Author's note: I'm revising the story to make it less complicated and make it more focused on the actual Star Rail content, but plain points like that doesn't have any charm, so i'm forced to add more interaction and stuff between MC and other people.
Additionally, I may alternate between Corruption or Corrosion to refer to his Herrscher powers. Bear with me lol.*
