41 parts Complete Mature
Final year university student Ajax dreads graduating. A lifetime of sitting in a shitty office at a shitty computer, making shitty cups of tea for his shitty coworkers is his last idea of fun. But when he (quite literally) runs into the mysterious, handsome Zhongli who-lucky him-agrees to a date, he's gifted a Vision-an ancient artifact from an era long since passed. With the Vision in his possession, he begins to recover memories of a past life of exhilarating battles and heroic deeds, propelling him into a lifestyle of delivering justice to Snezhnaya's streets, slamming down would-be criminals with a well-placed fist to the face. However, when these memories begin to take a darker turn, Ajax starts to question who he really was, and what these memories mean for who he is today.

Every war that the world has faced, he witnessed. He watched as Liyue changed Archon every Archon just like the other more nation. The new modern watches. Being an adepti has been tied unto him, not just by the God of Contracts but also a curse tied within the realms of his sin. There is only one answer to his suffering, and that is the mortal that he waited for thousands of years. [ Xiao x Fem!
