Like a River (Diluc x Reader)

Rivers start as brooks in the mountains

The first morning she woke up. The day went by in a daze. When she was back in bed again, hoping to see if she would return at nightfall.

But she didn't.

Moments before she came into Mondstat, the events were actually hazy. Was she attacked at night? Did she die? Is she still asleep in the real world? She couldn't recall.

It was sad, but truthfully this is something that she had read many times from online novels and webtoons. 

Transmigration.

She couldn't help but be excited. There was so much to look forward to.

She doesn't know whether she'll wake up one day in reality again. But for now, she'd want to make use of the chance to explore the world in Teyvat.

One thing is a fact, this Donna isn't the one from the game. Perhaps it was that one online post that once broke the fandom as they compared the in-game Donna and the webcomic Donna.

Donna, this dear Donna was insanely hot!

Piping wide hips! And she had a fuller chest. God, this body was way better compared to her old life! Her hair was long, hazel, and presented neatly as a braid. She felt healthy and light! Like walking around outside was now a refreshment, not a workout! If she could snap a picture, she felt so good about herself now.

If Genshin NPC simps saw this Donna, they would scream MILF. As vulgar as it is, she couldn't deny the qualities she would own now.

She is Donna now.

It was not that Donna hated her old self. But damn, do we now understand the difference of women in medieval times versus modern ladies. This Donna had such nice skin, probably because staying up late is not a thing. Cramped with schoolwork from five to early twenties after that, life revolves around work. Stress here did not exist as much.

The beauty of the NPC life screams at her now!

As much as her foot hurts, standing by that one stall near the town gate and talking to customers. Often dropping by to chatter with Marjorie of the souvenir shop. And as much as she wanted to talk to Katherine, she wasn't even an adventurer to begin with.

There was nothing else to do, really.

But she was itching to exit Mondstat city and explore the vast world of Teyvat that she used to see only on her computer screen.

"Hah! Travel outside?"Marjorie almost scoffs at her, as if she heard the funniest joke.

"That's impossible dear, unless you commission an adventurer to escort you and travel. You do realize it is dangerous outside right?"

"It's not that bad, right? I mean there are just a bunch of hilichurls?" Donna pouts, thumbing her fingers across Timmy's hair. The boy came every afternoon to play with her after feeding his pigeons.

"Oh no! Big sister! You have not seen an actual hilichurl have you?" Timmy playfully waddled his legs as he sat on Donna's lap. She thinks deeply and comes up with a strange answer, how was she supposed to explain that those poor hilichurls used to guard treasure chests in a game and she beat the hell out of them? "I believe, I did see them once in erm... moving pictures?"

"Moving pictures? That's possible?!" Timmy cackles in delight, "Do they have moving pictures of ruin guards too!?" Donna happily nods at the happy boy. Only if the little kid knew how she massacred his pigeons in the game. Donna silently apologizes in her mind.

"Even if you did see them in pictures, the real deal is still different Donna," Marjorie sighs, "Hilichurls have the height of an average male adventurer. Mitachurls and lawachurls are sizeably troublesome. And none of them goes alone, they come in packs."
