August 2014
K423, Kiana Kaslana and co. officially enrolls in St.Freya.
Valkyrie Academy St.Freya. An isolated academy for aspiring Valkyries to learn and live in. Because Theresa, no-, Cecilia Shariac believes that the Valkyries shpuld be more than just soldiers.
Though modeled after a high school, it's actually more like a college or a university.
Gazing upon the manmade island built by Otto Apocalypse, specially for his beloved granddaughter, Theresa Apocalypse, was the new World Serpent recruit Raihou Fukai.
'Man, should i just hack into the Gray Serpent? That seems to be the fastest say to jump into the executive position.'
Entertaining random thoughts while eating, Raihou Fukai is on a day off.
*Why would you join the evil World Serpent, Fukai?*
'Because I wanted access to the Elysian Realm, duh.'
Before publishing a game, there are many things that needs to be done. Chief among them is to secure a "Copyright". Doing this means that you have to reveal the name, genre and content of the game you plan to release to related governing bodies...
But unfortunately, the title "HOUKAI: Star Rail", is a little bit TOO suspicious.
Did you know? In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, the subject of "Honkai" is a well guarded secret.
Only Honkai related factions, and perhaps the higher-ups of the government(?) knows of the Honkai Crisis.
Whenever a Honkai Eruption strikes, Otto Apocalypse would cover it up with various excuses ranging from natural disasters, nuclear generator explosion, gas leaks, and so on, and so forth.
The fact that a "Civilian" company is trying to use the name "Houkai", had brought investigators from Schicksal and even Anti-Entropy to his office.
But hey, they all backed off after seeing no related elements to standard Honkai related disturbance. After all, in HSR, there is no Zombies, Honkai Beasts and not even Herrchers. At first glance, not even old fans from Honkai 3rd could see any similarities to Honkai at all.
The concept of Aeons? They only viewed it the standard JRPG requirements of killing God. Which wasn't quite wrong. The Trailblazers were going to do that sometime later.
With less than 4 years before Honkai 3rd Part 1 ends, HSR needs to be launched as soon as they can, so as to tell the story of Amphoreus while Raiden Mei stays in the Elysian Realm.
'Raiden Mei isn't exactly a "game" person..'
'But, there are a group of super bored "ancients" down in the Realm. I'm sure they'd appreciate a little bit of "fun".'
'And when the Amphoreus Arc starts...when they see "Kevin's" face on their screen... Surely they would grow curious enough to focus on the game's contents.'
Finishing his meal, he began walking towards his office, the Mi**yo Ltd. Headquarters just a few blocks away.
"The 2nd Beta Test is almost over, I sure hope a lot of people notice the differences. I've put in quite a lot of effort to rewrite them so that they wouldn't be a pain in the ass after all."
