Reincarnated but as a Zombie

we aren't paid for this sh-

[....]

[ if one hasn't noticed, yet I am rewriting all the chapters lol ]

[ the reader is uh- kind of good person ]

[ content warning; lots of thinking about death, also excitement over death ]

The city was a sight to behold, they didn't know how to describe it, but the feeling of the wind was different here, the air, the breeze, the sky. Everything was different, yet the same.

Amber walked forward "Let me officially introduce the city of wind, dandelion, and freedom. Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonious... Welcome to Mondstadt!"

What they were most interested in was finding information, whether of the Hexenzirkel or Fatui, they're going to make sure to be prepared for everything. "Finally! No more having to camp outdoors!" Paimon said with cheer,

In the game, Paimon just said it and never brought it up ever again, or- well that's just how they remembered it, who has time to remember every tiny detail anyway? Not them, they had better things to focus on. But here they were.

Ah, they'll just ask Aether himself what happened.

"But the city folk don't look too cheery." Paimon said in a sad tone "Everyones been put out of place by Stormterror recently. But everything will turn out fine as long as Jean's with us!" Your turned your head at the familiar name "Jean?' Paimon questioned. "Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonious, Jean, Defender of Mondstadt!"

'Or the most overworked person of Mondstadt'

"With Jean on our side surely even the vicious Stormterror will be no match for us!" Amber said with the same characteristic of hope. "Before I take you guys to the Knights of Favonious headquarters. I have a present for the two of you, Aether and [_____]. It's a reward for helping me clear out the hilichurl camp." They paused, ah, right, wind gliders.

"He-Hey! Why doesn't Paimon get a reward!?" Paimon yelled offendedly "Ahh...Because this reward is useless to you, Paimon. But I'll you to a Mondstadt delicacy, Sticky Honey Roast!" Paimon looked with joy "Sticky Honey Roast!" She cheerfully said looking towards the both of them. "Come with me, we'll head to the cities, uhh... high ground."

[_____] and Aether walked up the stairs as Amber lead the way, "So...that thing, when we were at the hilichurl camp.." Aether turned to look at them "What was that?" 

They froze in their steps, fuck, so he did notice.

The mask of innocence and playfulness almost broke before they gave a warm chuckle.

"Well...You see.." The golden boy looked intently at them, fuck- they would have to tread carefully "I have no clue!" And to really sell it they gave a jokingly bonk to their head, Aether stared at them with a dumbfounded expression.

"You...You don't know.." He repeated after [_____] with a look of disbelief, "Well do you know why you can control anemo?" Aether with a blank expression looked at them and then at himself before looking away. "Yeah, I thought so."

"So, the present I want to give you is.."

"A Wind Glider! Outriders use them to ride the wind, and the people of Mondstadt love using them too. I brought you here to give it to you, so you can experience it right away!"
