Honkai: Star Rail, Marrying Acheron Upon Landing

Honkai: Star Rail - Marry Acheron Upon Landing Author: Peachless Association

Synopsis:

[Orange] The moment I transmigrated, I fell right into Acheron's arms.

The system told me to confess to Acheron.

Am I, Lin Shuang, that kind of person?! I'd rather die out here—

What, there's a Stellaron in this cursed place?

Sorry, I was a bit too loud just now. Let's talk about how to marry Acheron instead.

"Acheron, would you cooperate with me for a simple ceremony? Don't worry, it's very easy."

Even if we get married, it'll only be under duress. I, Lin Shuang, would never be that kind of scumbag!

But marrying a Herta doll... that's just me being weird, not a scumbag.

Flirting with game characters in a game, going crazy over virtual characters... how can that count? How was I supposed to know she was Silver Wolf?

Similarly, when I married Stelle in the Simulated Universe, it was purely to test the Simulated Universe!

And marrying Firefly in my dreams... dreams aren't real, are they? I just wanted to give her a complete life.

Also...

"Mmm, keep making excuses. I'm listening."

Acheron, with her white hair, gripped her sword hilt and calmly looked at Lin Shuang, who was sweating profusely.

On her left ring finger, a silver-white ring glinted coldly.

"First, explain the meaning of these rings to me."

Volume 1: Chapter 1 - I Get It, I Have to Marry Acheron

Amidst boundless ruins, two suns scorched the earth.

Void creatures and the Destruction Legion roamed the world, now utterly silent.

A tall woman with long, dark blue hair, wielding a massive blade resembling a great katana, her expression as calm as the void, walked among the Void creatures and the Destruction Legion.

Her sword remained sheathed, yet she casually swung the scabbard.

Wherever she went, all monsters were instantly sliced into pieces.

"There's... a Stellaron here."

After temporarily repelling the nearby monsters.

Acheron, her face half-hidden by her bangs, looked at the corpses littering the ground, her expression still calm, tinged with a hint of emptiness.

No wonder she'd been delayed crossing the galaxy here; a Stellaron was blocking the path.

But it didn't matter.

For her, the Stellaron's impact was limited to this; it would merely slow her down a bit.

She could leave the Stellaron's sphere of influence with a little time.

As for these Void creatures and the Destruction Legion, they were nothing more than bothersome insects.

Just then.

Above Acheron's head.

A small wormhole opened without warning.

A white-haired girl fell straight down from the wormhole.

Acheron watched the falling girl.

Sensing no danger or malice, she chose to raise her hands.

Poof—

Lin Shuang, falling headfirst, landed directly in Acheron's embrace.

Acheron merely shifted her arms slightly, absorbing the impact of the fall.

"Huh?"

Lin Shuang, suddenly snatched by the system, had expected to die from the fall after exiting the wormhole.

She never imagined feeling the warmth of another human.

When she opened her eyes, she met a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed vacant, yet somehow full of emptiness.

Holy crap, Acheron!

Lin Shuang's first reaction was excitement. The real Acheron was even more beautiful than her 2D counterpart!

Her second reaction was shock. She'd landed right in Acheron's arms, being held like a princess.

[Random teleportation complete.] [Target detected. Honkai: Star Rail System officially activated.]

[Target: Acheron]

[Affection: 50 (Friendly)]

[Relationship: None]

[Novice Quest: Propose to Acheron. The more fervent the emotion, the deeper the impression.]

[Reward: (Novice quests do not require establishing an intimate relationship) Random card draw.]

Lin Shuang stared at the quest the system had given her, speechless for a moment.

Fine, fine, so that's how we're playing.

Damn it, is this a player-harem system? I'm a pure love warrior!

She was just at home, eating hotpot and singing, watching those two anime about Acheron, when this stupid system hijacked her.

Lin Shuang wished she could grab the system and punch it twice.

Is this damn system trying to make me go crazy? It's clearly trying to kill me!

Acheron seemed easy to talk to right now because she had memory loss, making her seem a bit dazed.

But who knew when she might suddenly consume a battle record point and slice her down.

Great Void was gone just as inexplicably.

As Lin Shuang gritted her teeth and cursed the damn system, a chilling premonition washed over her.

Lin Shuang immediately turned her head and saw that, at some point, enemies from the Destruction Legion had appeared from all directions.

However, before Lin Shuang could react.

Or rather, Acheron's speed was so fast that Lin Shuang didn't have time to react at all.

Lin Shuang only saw a flash of blades before her eyes, and all the approaching enemies were torn to shreds.

"Gulp..."

Looking at this extreme display of violent aesthetics, Lin Shuang's heart couldn't help but race.

Is this someone I can handle?

Before Lin Shuang could sort out her thoughts, she felt Acheron gently set her down.

Her feet touched the ground again, and as Lin Shuang looked up at the tall Acheron.

She suddenly realized she was actually shorter than Acheron when standing. Did the stupid system steal a bit of my height when it swapped my body?

"@#%..."

Acheron's voice was beautiful, but unfortunately, Lin Shuang couldn't understand a single word.

Lin Shuang paused for a moment before remembering that the background of Honkai: Star Rail was a vast galaxy with the universe as its stage, and countless races possessed countless languages.

Without a Synesthesia Beacon, communication was impossible.

It's over.

Lin Shuang thought this, and her face instantly dimmed again.

Acheron looked at the white-haired girl standing before her.

For some reason, upon seeing those sky-blue eyes, she felt an involuntary closeness.

She watched the girl's expression change continuously and inexplicably found her rather cute.

Just seeing the girl's bewildered look, Acheron realized something.

This girl didn't have a Synesthesia Beacon.

Thinking this, Acheron fumbled inside her clothes for a moment and pulled out an injection.

Then, Acheron saw the girl's expression suddenly turn extremely fearful, as if she wanted to escape.

However, Acheron merely reached out, and a powerful force immobilized the girl's body. The injection was successfully administered.

"Now, can you understand me?"

The voice, which had sounded like garbled code, suddenly turned into a language she could comprehend.

Lin Shuang's struggling movements immediately calmed down. She looked at the syringe that had been discarded on the ground.

"This is... a Synesthesia Beacon? Thank you."

"Mm, you're welcome."

Lin Shuang resisted the urge to ask. In this world, a Synesthesia Beacon was like a vaccine given to every newborn.

Who would normally carry such a thing around when going out?

"I am Acheron. They say I am a Pathfinder. You may address me as such. Who are you, and why were you able to open a wormhole in the vicinity of a Stellaron?"

Acheron could naturally tell the difference between a spaceship being thrown off course and falling due to a Stellaron, and someone opening a wormhole to teleport here.

Her tone was flat, but Lin Shuang could feel her curiosity.

The moment Lin Shuang heard "Stellaron," she inwardly muttered, This is bad.

I had assumed the Destruction Legion was after Acheron just now, I never imagined it was because of the Stellaron.

This is troublesome. If it were just an ordinary world, Lin Shuang wouldn't necessarily need to gain power immediately to protect herself.

But if it's a world corrupted by a Stellaron, she truly wouldn't be able to move a single step without power.

Neither Void creatures nor the Destruction Legion were something a half-baked fighter like Lin Shuang could defeat.

However, Lin Shuang also didn't dare to travel with Acheron for too long.

Currently, Acheron's information was incomplete, and her condition was unstable. Although she was perfectly fine in her normal state.

But whether her alter ego was insane or not, Lin Shuang wouldn't risk her own life to find out.

After all, Lin Shuang didn't even know what triggered that state of hers.

Under these circumstances, the plan to shamelessly stick with Acheron was clearly not safe enough.

If possible, Lin Shuang wanted to get one or two chances to draw from Acheron, and then part ways after gaining a certain level of self-preservation ability.

"Lin Shuang, my name is Lin Shuang. I don't know why I was teleported here, and I didn't open the wormhole."

Lin Shuang shook her head, responding to Acheron's words.

Meanwhile, she was contemplating if she should try to save herself.

Along with the mission, the system had also provided some information.

Aside from the beginner's mission, as a "Sea King System," Lin Shuang could exchange for gacha chances every time she established an intimate relationship with a suitable target.

And depending on the intimacy level of the relationship, she would receive different tiers of gacha chances.

From ordinary friends all the way to marriage, the gacha tiers were obviously different.

But the system didn't mention how insufficient affection would affect the gacha tier.
