A Person in Arknights, Starting as Griseo

A Person on the Ark, Starting as Griseo by Stellar Dream

One day, Ye Li suddenly transmigrated. Not only did she transmigrate into the world of Arknights, but she also transformed.

On the surface, it seemed pretty good. However, when the Reunion's beloved Griseo, the phantom thief Pardofelis who robs the rich to help the poor in Lungmen, the immortal Fu Hua who protects the common people of Yan, and Elysia who has many interactions with various girls on Rhodes Island... all turn out to be her, the story becomes far from simple. (Transformation is limited to female characters, this story is yuri.)

Chapter 1: Snowfield and Conflict

'Cold... so cold...'

As the bitter wind howled through the forest, the snow accumulated on the trees suddenly loosened and slid down, falling entirely onto the small figure murmuring softly beneath the trees.

"Mmm!"

Buried by the snow, the small blue figure under the tree suddenly woke up, opening her beautiful, confused violet eyes.

"…?"

Upon clearly seeing the unfamiliar scenery before her, the girl's eyes, besides confusion, showed surprise and bewilderment. She then tried to struggle to her feet.

However, before the girl could stand steady, her body's stiffness caused her to stumble. She instinctively grabbed onto the silver-dusted tree beside her, thus avoiding falling back into the snowdrift.

But it was clear that reality didn't give the girl much time to observe and think. In the next instant, countless memories exploded in her mind.

"Mmm!"

The pain made her involuntarily let out a muffled groan, and she simultaneously clutched her small head, trying to alleviate the ache.

"Ah... who am I... Ye Li... or Griseo?"

Because the memories that surfaced were too vast and not from the same person, the girl's sense of self became confused.

The shorter memory in her mind told her she was just an ordinary person from Earth. However, another seemingly monotonous but exceptionally vast memory told her she was one of the thirteen Elysianes of the previous civilization, a Fusion Warrior bearing the mark of Stellar...

"..."

After a period of recovery, once the headache subsided, the girl quickly calmed down and began to sort through the jumbled memories in her mind.

And after calming down, things she had previously overlooked were now noticed.

Although she couldn't see her face without a mirror, by observing her body and attire... she could confirm that she should currently be Griseo, at least physically.

Otherwise, the girl didn't think an ordinary person could survive in such a cold, unknown place with bare feet, bare legs, and wearing a thin dress.

But even after calming down, the girl still couldn't distinguish whether she was a transmigrator who had become Stellar, or Griseo with a transmigrator's memories.

Both sets of memories were too real and clear. Whether it was the ordinariness and unwillingness in Ye Li's memories, or the bone-deep loneliness Griseo felt when facing the universe alone, the girl deeply empathized and was touched, as if she had personally experienced them.

"So... how do I paint the world?"

The sky was already dim due to the blizzard, and it was even more so in the forest blocked by trees—gloomy, cold, and quiet filled the place.

"Gulp~"

The expressionless little blue loli currently clutched her stomach, which was emitting a mournful cry, and walked step by step through the dim, cold forest.

From afar, one might mistake her for a pure spirit of the snowy woods.

But she knew herself best. The girl... no, Griseo, was acutely aware that her inner state was far from as calm as her outward appearance suggested.

She was cold and hungry right now. Although these two points were not fatal for a Fusion Warrior, nor did they have a major impact, they were still uncomfortable.

Moreover, rather than being outwardly calm, it was more accurate to say that Griseo showed no other emotions on her face.

Although her heart became active due to the influence of the other memory, this activity was confined to her inner world due to Griseo's memories, and it didn't show on her face at all.

"Mmm...?"

Suddenly, Griseo stopped in her tracks, tilting her head slightly as she looked ahead. Through the trees ahead, she saw a faint light and heard indistinct human voices.

"..."

For a moment, Griseo hesitated. She didn't know if it was a good idea to approach rashly.

But she was eager to understand her current situation. If possible, she also wanted to fill her stomach.

So, after a period of internal struggle, Griseo still chose to go and see. She lightly lifted her little feet, which were already slightly flushed red from the cold, out of the snow and walked forward.

However, as she got closer to the firelight, Griseo realized that everything was completely different from what she had imagined.

What reached her ears were the noisy curses and loud, sinister laughter of a group of people...

What met her eyes was a thin, blood-stained figure, surrounded by people with ferocious expressions holding weapons that gleamed coldly... and a patch of blackness.

"Boss, a little brat popped out from over there. What should we do?"

While Griseo was stunned by the scene before her, someone else noticed her.

"Tsk, do I even need to ask? Of course, we kill her! Anyone who sees us doing this can't be left alive!" The boss who was asked flashed a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes before roaring impatiently.

"Wh-what..."

The antlered girl, cornered by the group and already injured, heard this and turned her head sharply towards her back with a look of horror.

As she turned her head, her eyes met Griseo's beautiful gaze.

In that instant, only one thought remained in the girl's mind: to do everything she could to keep this adorable child alive.

"Run... Run fast!"

"…?"

Clearly, Griseo, who had just fallen into thought, didn't react quickly to the girl's words. Instead, she stood frozen, watching her with a confused expression.

And in that brief moment, one of the people surrounding the girl, a man with a long saber and a ferocious face, rushed towards Griseo.

His stance suggested he intended to slice the little girl, who was standing there blankly, in two.

"No!"

Witnessing the scene before her, the fear and anxiety in the antlered girl's eyes involuntarily turned into boundless rage.

Dragging her injured body, she burst into a speed she never thought possible, lunging towards Griseo to shield the little girl.

Even though she knew this would likely mean her death, and that she couldn't protect Griseo for long, perhaps only for a fleeting moment, she still did it…

The instant they made contact, the immense force of the antlered girl's lunge sent Griseo tumbling to the ground.

Before Griseo could say anything, the girl tightly embraced her, covering her completely with her own body.

"Don't be scared... Sis... Sister is here with you..."

After doing all this, the girl still remembered to whisper words of comfort to Griseo in her arms…

"..."

At that moment, Griseo noticed the surrounding darkness quietly fading away, replaced by a faint, warm, golden hue.

But when she looked up again, at the murky colors surrounding the person about to swing their blade down at them, a ripple stirred within her heart…

"Mister Knight, please!"

ps: New author, new book. Please be kind if you don't like it. Your guidance is appreciated.

Chapter 2: Perception and Escape

"Mister Knight, please!"

"Clang—"

As Griseo's voice faded, a knight in handsome silver-blue armor suddenly appeared out of thin air before them, blocking the long saber aimed at them with his knight's sword.

"What... Ah!"

The man holding the long saber was shocked when his attack was blocked. But before he could react further, the silver-armored knight struck again, his knight's sword sending the enemy flying backward, crashing through several trees.

All of this happened in an instant.

"…?"

The antlered girl, who had been embracing Griseo and waiting for pain to strike, now sensed the commotion behind her and cautiously turned her head to observe.

After all, she had heard the little girl in her arms exclaim, "Mister Knight, please!"

Upon seeing the situation behind her, the antlered girl quickly stood up from the ground, still holding Griseo.

?;

While she didn't know what was going on with the knight who seemed to be only half a body, she knew it was a good opportunity to escape.

However, as the girl took Griseo's hand to flee, she found herself being held back by the blue-haired little girl.

Sensing this, she began to worry, as she had no idea how long this sudden knight could hold off these Infected.

"It's warm... Don't worry, Mister Knight will protect us." As if sensing the antlered girl's anxiety, Griseo looked up at her, her voice calm and soft as she comforted her.

"..."

For some reason, after meeting Griseo's calm, beautiful purple eyes, the antlered girl's anxiety and urgency subsided considerably.

And at that very moment, the silver-blue knight, who had stopped after repelling the attackers, began to move again as if receiving an order.

"Ah, boss, that monster is coming! What should we do?!" Clearly, someone among the group of bullies panicked at the knight's approach.

After all, the person who had been sent flying by Griseo's Mister Knight was still groaning in the distance, looking severely injured.

"Why panic! All of you, attack! A few of you hold off that monster, and the rest of you... Heh, kill that woman and that brat!"

"If we let them get away, I don't need to tell you what we'll face next!"

Giving someone next to him a shove, the organizer of this act of violence's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he issued his command.

"Yes!"

Hearing their boss's order, the surrounding people suppressed their fear and, brandishing their weapons, charged towards the silver-blue knight and the two behind him.

"Warm, don't be afraid..."

Sensing the fear resurfacing in the antlered girl beside her, Griseo intertwined her small hand with the hand she was holding, wanting to offer her a sense of security.

Even though Griseo hadn't figured out who she truly was by now, she had always been confident in Mister Knight. She believed he would protect her... and her friends.

As expected, the silver-blue Mister Knight didn't betray Griseo's trust or expectations. Facing the attacking enemies, he easily blocked and repelled them all with his knight's sword.

"Aaaah..."

"...No... Don't kill me!"

The infected, knocked back and sent flying, now lay groaning on the ground, their screams piercing the air.

Witnessing this, a flicker of fear crossed the eyes of the organizer of this operation. They then quietly took a step back. Noticing that the silver-blue Knight hadn't reacted to their movement, they immediately turned and fled into the forest behind them.

"..."

Watching this unfold, Griseo made no other move. She simply raised her head again, looking at the "warm one" beside her.

She wasn't interested in how these people should be dealt with, nor did she have any ideas. That's why she turned her questioning gaze to the person beside her.

Noticing Griseo's gaze, the doe-eared girl was momentarily taken aback. Then, she lowered her blue eyes, thought for a moment, and softly said, "Let him go..."

"And then, let's leave here quickly too."

As her words fell, the girl took Griseo's hand and they walked down the path.

Although these infected were currently subdued, she still intended to leave quickly to avoid further trouble.

"Mhm."

After hearing the "warm one," Griseo simply nodded her little head obediently, then allowed herself to be led forward.

Griseo chose to respect the girl's decision, and besides, she wasn't surprised at all.
