MILES ACROSS THE DISTANCE
They fell in love without ever holding hands.
When Shakti meets sophia during a random co-op mission in Genshin Impact, he never expects a stranger from another country to become the most important person in his life. What starts as casual gaming turns into daily chats, late-night calls, and a friendship that feels safer than the real world around them.
Soon, friendship becomes something deeper.
Feelings grow in between quests, laughter, and quiet confessions shared through screens. Though they’ve never met in real life, their hearts feel closer than two people standing side by side.
But loving someone you’ve never seen beyond a camera comes with its own fears.
Distance, time zones, family pressure, and the uncertainty of an online relationship begin to test the bond they built in a virtual world. Doubts creep in. Misunderstandings hurt more than they should. And when real life starts pulling them in different directions, they are forced to question if what they have is strong enough to survive outside the game that brought them together.
In a story about digital love, emotional intimacy, and the fragile line between online and reality, two hearts must decide:
Can a love born in a game exist in the real world… or was it only meant to stay behind the screen?
