A girl wakes up surrounded by complete darkness. Scared, she looks around only to see nothing but the emptiness of the void in front of her, she moved and could, but she was hesitant to move too far into the void.
Without another thought, the girl sits on the ground as she slowly lays herself on the ground she felt and was slowly getting sleepy. She knew she had died from overworking for 87 hours straight and this place must be where the dead go and with that thought she felt a little bit relieved, yet she felt regret for leaving her mother and little brother behind.
Fortunately, she had left enough money for them to not worry and with her life insurance, that should add more money and as she remembers this and all her past, she finally felt at peace, as she slowly close her eyes, she could finally get that rest she so desperately wanted. Numerous overtimes, stockpile of works, bad coworkers, abusive and exploitative boss and company, she could finally rest and catch up from all the sleeping she missed and never have to encounter them.
As the girl was slowly getting sleepier, her eyes slowly closing, a synthetic male voice rang out from the void, jolting the girl awake and completely driving all thoughts of sleeping away.
"System fully binded. System requires the host to introduce themselves, please say your decided name host."
"W-what? System? Name? What are you?" I responded, shocked by the sudden voice.
"Character Resonance System, this is what the system is called." the system replied to her confusion as the girl look arounds to see where the voice is coming from, but it didn't help as the voice could be heard from any direction in this dark empty void. "Please say your decided name, host." the system added.
"Character Resonance System? Where am I?" I didn't answer its request for my name; I was more curious about my surroundings and what it what it wanted from me.
"...Character Resonance System is as the what the name implies, Host will be sent to live in another world that's connected to a game and create a customized character with in-game lore, skills, and background that will also be connected to your new life." the system said as if to clarify as much as possible. "And Host will earn points as players get emotional attached to your character, gain popularity, feel various emotions from weak to intense" the system added.
The girl partially understood what the system was saying to her but there was still some confusion in some parts, but that confusion could be ignored and weren't important at all at the moment. the most important one would be what game she'd get transmigrated, was she already in it? as she still could only see nothingness surrounding her.
"I understand, but what game?" the girl asked the system, as she felt relieved that the system wasn't at the very least malicious at the moment, so she laid back on the ground, sleepy.
"...Host, please do not sleep." the system said to the girl. "I won't, don't worry." the girl said softly as she stared into the void as if she was looking at the system.
"...Host is currently in a 'buffer' area and will be transmigrated into Genshin Impact after confirming basic character model, character information, history, info, and skill." The system explained itself to her, as she kept staring into the void before replying. "I understand"
I was happy to know I would be transmigrated into Genshin Impact and actually being a part of the world, and not an outsider. it meant I could use Visions, and I would be able to fit right in and not feel out of place.
Thinking for a moment, I finally decided against using my past life name and use a new name to not only represent my new life but to also represent who I would be in the new one too and fully integrate myself into the game, but I decided to create a character first, as not being able to see my body but feel it, felt weird.
Customizing my character, I chose to use the small model, wearing an off shoulder beautiful white dress with light green accents on the ends and green bracelet with an intricately design beads that showed a moon in different phases in one wrist and the other wrist having a white bracelet bead with the full moon on only one bead as the rest contained a deer like carving and on the nose of my character perch a small round golden glass, as the hair for my character was silver white like the moon and extremely long, reaching her knee and I made my character barefoot and only one hand wearing a white glove with green and golden accents.
As I pressed confirm on the customization, body didn't experience any of the pain I expected in these body changes I read on novels in my free time, I only felt a warm current flowing through my body as I could slowly see my own body materializing right in front of my eyes, like the round jade bead bracelet, and my white snowlike skin paired with my silver white hair.
Slowly standing up, I slowly twirled as I looked at my body satisfied by my work, it felt comfortable being in this body, and next I needed to work on my character background, but I realized that Genshin Impact had already been out for 5+ years, wouldn't I be pretty late, would the characters even bother to try unlock me, when there are other Mihoyo games already out?
As if knowing my concern, the system responded to my worries by showing earth to me, specifically the game announcement for Genshin Impact. "Host, do not worry, the game has not been launch yet and the newer Mihoyo games have been yet to be released."
The girl was surprised to find out that not only had she been transmigrated but also traveled back in time just before the game release.
I honestly wasn't worried over that part, but rather another part and as if again knowing what I was concern about, the system spoke again. "Host will not be punished for not getting points, however points are necessary and important as they are not only able you to create and edit your skills and background but also upgrade host skill and strengthens the host, and could also be used to buy items in the shop for personal use, character use, or event creation use andetc." It bombarded me with numerous information.
Taking a moment to digest the information the system had just shared, I felt relieve. I honestly had enough of working but the system seemed to be pretty laid back with its usage and restriction, and it felt more good to work on or do something that I find interesting or love, if the system added punishments and whatnot, I might have given up.
I already died once, what's one more time but thankfully the system has no requirement and while I am curious as to why it attached itself to me or what its ultimate goal, I was too lazy now and wasn't interested at the moment. Now that everything was cleared and properly understood I got back to the Character Background Interface, as I inputted my character's history into the Interface.
As I was inputting my character background into the interface, I talked with the system here and there to have a better understanding about the limits and thankfully I wasn't over the limits, and I could always add more later after acquiring points from the players.
Since my points relies on the players attachment and emotions, I chose to be a small girl with a tragic backstory to tug on their heartstrings and having the players paternal instinct kick in and those with softer heart to cry over my backstory. thankfully I didn't have to change anything about my character model, it still works with my strategy.
After setting my background and confirming it with the system, I decided to work on my character skills. After tinkering with the Skill Creation Interface, I was done and after confirming I couldn't do anything anymore, as anymore would require more points, and thankfully I didn't need to tweak with it anymore.

6th Constellation: Everlasting Dream
While the Dreamveil Field is active, the Qilin companion stays on the field, periodically releasing a starry breath that deals AoE Dendro DMG and heals allies based on Somnia's Max HP.
After finalizing everything all that was left was to create my companion, someone I could trust and rely on, thankfully the system didn't seem to mind and didn't have too much requirement and since it is also implemented into my character's skill, it would make sense to have her be able to summon said companion or have said companion permanently.
All that was left now was to be transmigrated into genshin impact and start living my life, in the way that I want, without worrying about anything or anyone.
