The Narration System Is Wrong in Honkai

A Person in Honkai, This Narration Isn't Right / Honkai: The Dog-Eat-Dog Path

Author: Old Moon

Synopsis:

After transmigrating to Changkong City in the Honkai world and learning that it's early 2014, with the Third Honkai Outbreak imminent, Lin Yu chose a path.

As long as I'm not dead, I'll go all out.

My precious Honkai, today I'm going to out-grind you to death!

The second day after transmigrating to the Honkai world.

System: [Host, there are budding beauties like Kiana, Mei, and Bronya here, as well as mature women like Himeko and Cocolia—]

Shut up, don't disturb my Dao heart.

Even though I've out-grinded the Herrscher of Thunder, it's not enough. I'll continue to grind.

The fortieth day after transmigrating to the Honkai world.

Today I out-grinded Chiyou, but it was all thanks to the finishing blow. It's still not enough. I'll continue to grind.

The eighty-fifth day after transmigrating to the Honkai world.

Today I halved Kevin, but it's still not enough. I'll continue to grind.

The one hundred and fifteenth day after transmigrating to the Honkai world.

Otto has already been executed, but since he didn't get a chance to become a pseudo-god, his death is just his death. I'll continue to grind.

The two hundred and thirty-sixth day after transmigrating to the Honkai world, Lin Yu, who had been grinding for eight months, gazed at the Cocoon of Finality before him in the Imaginary Space, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Yo, Cocoon, are you ready?"

"Now, I'm going to 'embrace' you!"

Volume 1

Chapter 1: Takeoff! Takeoff! What a Wonderful Start!

It's been five minutes since I was run over by a truck.

But now, the young man named Lin Yu finds...

That he, seemingly, isn't dead again?

The intense pain from being hit by the truck has completely vanished from his body.

If not for the memory being so incredibly vivid, he might have thought he was just too tired and was having a bizarre hallucination.

[??????. Looking at this unfamiliar room, you've actually thought of a possibility. Death, a brand new environment—without a doubt, you've transmigrated!]

What the heck?

After hearing the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind, Lin Yu felt that he was truly hallucinating.

And what's with this ?????? Could it be that I've really transmigrated, and the world I transmigrated to is Dou...

[Transmigration, oh, what a cliché word. But after calming down, you've begun to feel a hint of excitement in your heart.]

Forget it, excitement.

Right now, I just want to go home and drink my iced cola.

However, the voice that appeared in Lin Yu's mind ignored his internal grumbling and continued on its own.

[Perhaps for people with ordinary relationships, transmigrating to another world after death means eternal separation from their family and friends. But you don't have to worry about these trivial matters.]

[After all, you're an orphan with no parents and no close friends. In that regard, you've already taken the first step towards invincibility!]

Wow, I've had enough.

While it's true that I have no parents and no friends, wouldn't anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence refrain from saying such an annoying thing upon first meeting?

Annoyed, Lin Yu stood up and walked to the bathroom of this unfamiliar house, carefully examining his reflection in the mirror.

Then, he looked at himself in the mirror and was slightly stunned.

Lin Yu's current face was only slightly different from his previous one, but these minor adjustments to his features had elevated him from a merely somewhat handsome young man to a whole new level of attractiveness.

[Oh, look at this unparalleled beauty, enough to make any maiden fall for you. You look at this face and silently vow that what you didn't get in your previous life, you will reclaim with this face in this one.]

No, that makes it sound like I only plan to rely on my looks to get by.

Who are you, anyway? Can you stop just talking in my head and actually come out for a meeting? It's not that hard, is it?

The moment Lin Yu said that, he no longer heard the strange voice.

Instead, a line of English appeared in his vision.

[CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD, YE NOT GUILTY]

Before Lin Yu could even react to the meaning of that English phrase, it vanished from his sight.

Then, a line of text that made Lin Yu feel something was very wrong appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Randomly Made Narration System' 0.1ver test version!]

[Detected that the host meets the binding conditions. Binding... Binding successful!]

Ah, a cheat system after transmigration.

While having a cheat system is great, this name... why does it feel so unreliable?

These words naturally wouldn't stay in Lin Yu's vision forever.

In fact, after a few seconds, Lin Yu saw the specific template of this system.

Of course, calling it a specific template is a bit of a stretch; it actually only had [Settings], [Host Profile], and a bunch of [Open] options.

Clicking on Settings, two options appeared: [System Unbinding] and [Close Narration].

But both of these options were grayed out. If you're not going to let me use them, why even put them there???

After opening the Host Template, Lin Yu felt even more uneasy.

[Current Skills List]

[Basic Cooking - Guided by a master, you have mastered cooking skills far beyond most of your peers.] [Beginner Honkai Resistance - After physical treatment, you can ensure you won't instantly turn into a zombie when encountering Honkai.] [Intermediate Unarmed Combat - After training, you have acquired a certain level of unarmed combat skills.] [Intermediate Weapon Proficiency - After training, you have acquired a certain level of weapon proficiency.] [Intermediate Hacking - Ordinary electronic defense systems are no longer a problem for you.]

Behind these skills, more were listed. However, upon seeing a certain skill, Lin Yu already felt that the situation was a bit off.

[Take off! Take off! As a transmigrator, you have already mastered so many practical skills at the beginning of your journey!] [Among them, there is even one of the most important skills in this world.] [Such a wonderful start! Looking at these skills, you feel your life is about to reach its peak.]

Well said, but one of the most important skills in this world...

Honkai energy?????????

What the heck?

The skill mentioned by the narration, in Lin Yu's opinion, was the same thing as the skill he noticed.

Honkai resistance, this skill itself is a normal passive defensive skill.

The problem is, if this skill appears on him, doesn't that mean... this is the Honkai world?

The Honkai world is an extremely unfriendly place for ordinary people.

This world has a phenomenon called Honkai, and explaining it is troublesome. Simply put, it's aimed at killing humanity.

As for the "Little Finality looking for friends" thing, that's pure nonsense. How many ordinary people died on the way for Little Finality to find friends? Does that even matter?

If it were an ordinary world, Lin Yu might not be so panicked.

But if this really is the Honkai world, then once a Honkai phenomenon erupts around him, even if he doesn't turn into a zombie, he'll be killed on the spot by the Honkai Beasts that appear.

I'm done for, I really drew the short straw.

[Short straw? No, you don't actually think that.] [There are budding beauties like Kiana, Mei, and Bronya here, as well as mature and charming older sisters like Himeko and Cocolia.] [There's even the Great Pillow Sword Immortal who's over five hundred years old, the Flat Immortal who's fifty thousand years old, the Blonde Goose who already has big breasts at a young age, and the Short Academy Head in her forties for you to choose from.] [Even if you want to go big, there's Honkai God Prometheus, the Soul Steel Body-Swapped Archbishop, and Cyborg Amber, who are also good choices.] [You feel like you're already fired up!]

No, no, no, you narrator, you only know how to stir up trouble, right?

Putting aside everything else, which one of these people is easy to mess with?

And a forty-something short academy head? If Otto were to lay a hand on Theresa, he'd make my life a living hell.

To even think of touching Otto's soul steel body is absurd. I swear, you just don't want me to have an easy time!

Calm down. The first thing I should do now is figure out where I am...

[Changkong City! The place where destiny began! This is the perfect spot for you to take your first step after transmigration!]

[Let us celebrate!]

Celebrate my ass!

Please, just shut up already (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!

Chapter 2: My Foolish Younger Brother

Changkong City, in a sense, can indeed be called the starting point of the Honkai world.

Back when miHoYo was still planning to make a game about cute girls fighting zombies, the protagonist of Honkai Gakuen 2, Kiana, fought her way out of Changkong City wielding a baseball bat.

As for the legendary Honkai 1... that thing can't even be found anymore, so it doesn't count!

As for why Lin Yu is panicking right now, the reason is very simple.

If this is Honkai 2, then there's at least a Herrscher of Thunder here.
