Nagaroza City
In a city bustling with people dating, talking, playing, and more,
there sat an unusual young man who looked like he was in his late teens. He had blonde hair and jade-green eyes. His hands were interlocked as if in thought, and his expression made it clear his mind was elsewhere.
Finally, after seven years, my cheat arrived, the boy thought to himself. After a few seconds, he stood up and walked home.
After a few minutes of walking, he arrived at his house, closed the door, and said to no one in particular:
"A Honkai resistance comparable to a Herrscher."
The boy glanced at the mirror, then went straight to the bathroom. He removed his clothes, revealing an above-average build—not too muscular, not too skinny—and stepped into the shower.
As the water ran, he spoke again:
"A mind comparable to infinity and helix."
He smiled, happy to finally confirm something he had been waiting to know.
"Two special abilities. One, the ability to analyze and understand anything physical," he said again, looking at himself with satisfaction. After closing the shower, he stepped out, dried himself with a towel, and wrapped it around his waist.
Entering his bedroom, he opened his closet filled with clothes, dressed up, and said to himself once more:
"Another ability: to see the people talking about me. The more they know, the more I know too."
He glanced at the time, sighed, and smiled widely.
"Becoming a knight of Schicksal is a no-go. Becoming a scientist in either of the big organizations also goes against my morals. Joining World Serpent might be useful, but they'd only study me to figure out my resistance. If I join St. Freya as a biology, engineering, or general science teacher… what would happen?" he wondered, still smiling.
That's the best option for now, given my age, he thought as he lay down on his bed.
"Hey, System. What's your purpose?" he asked the floating yellow screen in front of him.
[Affirmative, User. As my name suggests, 'Popularity System.' My goal is to make you popular. However, there is a twist: in another world, you will be viewed as a game character.]
"Let me guess. That world is a version of this one, but without Honkai," he said to the screen.
[Yes, User. As per the request of ¥¢°`§∆¢—or as you call him, ROB—the world of Honkai Impact will be viewed as a game in another version of this world, but without Honkai. How did you guess, User?]
"I just remembered a Genshin Impact fanfic I read. Unluckily, it stopped updating before I got isekai'd here," he said to the yellow screen, treating it like a person thanks to its mechanical female voice.
"Open status, System."

"Getting the watered-down version of Visionary Uniqueness is still good," Adam said.
"Such a coincidence to be named after the Visionary Adam," he added.
"Oh well, it was part of my wishes anyway." He looked at the window and spoke again:
"The flow of this story will go as I planned this time."
He smiled faintly and closed his eyes, already aware of the danger approaching ten days from now.
