New Beginning (Honkai Impact Fanfic)

Chapter 3 Revelation

The chapter is a long one, I am conflicted about changing Kiana's name since in the game she fought hard for that name. So I make a decision to just add a name in front of her name. This chapter is filled with original lore so it is just an explanation or review of the game's lore, I might be wrong here and there so comments are welcomed.

The dinner is tense since it looks like the calm before the storm

"Hey Einstein, tell the cook that his food is delicious"

"Ok Herrscher Kiana, will do, now will you explain yourself?" Einstein answered

"Ok, Ok, so where do I start?"

"Start by where you came from?" Tesla interjects

"I come from the future, I was walking alone in Kolosten when a voice started resounding inside my head and suddenly I woke up to the scene you two are fighting Benares" I point to Niggurath and Kira

"Stop lying, what do you mean time travel?" Tesla said

"It's true, it's fine if you don't believe me but I really do travel from the future and that's why I know some stuff that will occur, granted now that I mess with it so much, there will be no use in that knowledge."

"You said you travel to the past, what happens when you change it like what you did? what will happen to you?" Einstein asked "Since you change the past, the future where you're from is changing right?"

"Well the nature of this world is like a tree we call it the imaginary tree, every choice someone makes is like a new branch forming, it is similar to how a save game is behaving, the world autosaves every whatever unit of time is the smallest. When you want to load a save, you need massive amounts of energy to do that, but it is possible since my world's Otto did that."

"What? Grandpa did?"

"Yup, he did it to save Kallen, his childhood sweetheart 500 years ago who he thinks died unjustly. He sacrificed his body to be able to return the branch 500 years ago and 'Load' into the world and presumably saving Kallen, I'm not sure though since Otto is dead after the ordeal."

"Kallen, you mean Kallen Kaslana?" Siegfried asked

"Yup, the same Kallen Kaslana as your ancestor 500 years ago, the holy maid of Schicksal, the one that is falsely sentenced to death and at her death scene tried to save a little girl from a honkai beast that is rampaging around the execution ground and was stabbed and died. Otto thinks her death is unjust seeing that both of them hate the then Schicksal which is corrupt, thus Otto leads a rebellion and manages to win and become the Overseer to this day"

"So Otto is planning to save Kallen from the start?" Kira asked

"Well that is the reason AE is created, after all, we can't let him control the power of the first Herrscher" Tesla interjects

"Yup, and he is doing all the things he did, such as the experimentation of Sirin to achieve the goal do you remember seeing it in my memories?"

"Yes and I still won't forgive him, he experimented and tormented us for such a selfish goal" Sirin stands up and looks at me with a piercing gaze, honkai energy starts to materialize around Sirin

"Sirin calm down ok, I haven't finished my explanation"

"I'm still extremely mad but I'll listen to you" Sirin then sits down, but the anger is still present in her eyes, well learning that your suffering is to achieve such a selfish goal, I would be mad as well, especially what I personally have been through.

"Any way you said that Otto time traveled at the cost of his life, why are you not the same?" Cecilia ask

"As I said it is not time traveling, more so creating another branch, or loading a previous save and choosing a different option thus generating a new branch in the form of a different story, so from now on I will refer to it as loading a save ok? I personally don't know how I arrive here but one thing is for sure, it is the voice that resounds in my head, its power is the one that makes me return here."
