Blossom (author): ヽ(^◇^*)/ I can't believe this book is growing so quickly! Thank you all for reading and voting! I'll make sure to update regularly by neglecting my math homework, as usual :D

Side note: (Y/N) didn't actually fall through a magic portal into Teyvat—they died. But since they don't really understand that, they think it was a portal. Just clarifying!

"(Y/N), (Y/N). Wake up! You're getting heavy."

"Wha...? Hm?" Your eyes snapped open, and for a second you forgot where you were. All you knew was that someone was carrying you, and you tensed up in fear.

Then you remembered. You had fallen through a portal into a magical new world. A world where there were monsters and fairies, and a system on top of that!

Lumine set you down on the ground, where you stretched your legs contentedly. It felt like you had been asleep for a very long time.

"Big Sis Lumi, how many days did (Y/N) sleep?" you asked, skipping alongside Lumine. Now that you had gotten some rest, you were full of energy.

"Days? You were asleep for about... four hours."

"...Oh."

The forest around you teemed with life. Squirrels scampered up tree trunks, flowers grew on the ground, and the air smelled pleasantly of adventure. Even the grass was a richer shade of green.

While walking, you gathered Sweet Flowers, no longer worried about being attacked under Lumine's watchful eye. You took off your mushroom hat and put the Sweet Flowers inside it, using the hat as a basket. After a while, the hat grew heavy.

The system told me I could store stuff in my 'bottomless backpack,' right?

You decided to try it. Picking up a Sweet Flower from your basket, you said, "System, store." You were proud of yourself for remembering that!

But instead of vanishing into sparkles like you expected it to, the Sweet Flower flew towards your face... into your mouth!

Except it didn't feel like a big, huge flower in your mouth. It felt like a small wisp of cotton candy, flavored like a Sweet Flower. Within a few seconds, it had disappeared. You couldn't even taste it anymore.

So weird... is my 'bottomless backpack' just my stomach?!

You looked to the right and saw Paimon looking at you, evidently having heard you speak.

"Uhh... (Y/N)? How come you're eating Sweet Flowers and talking to yourself?" Paimon asked.

"Paimon! They're probably playing a pretend game. Lots of kids do that. Leave them be," Lumine said.

"Ohh, so that's it."

After storing all of the Sweet Flowers into your mouth—ahem, inventory—, you were eager to test out the other features of the system.

Let's see... what else was there? There was the voca... um, vocaluberry one...

You saw an unfamiliar blue flower growing by the winding forest path. It gave off a cool, sharp scent when you approached it. "System, what's that?"
