Got It, I'm Going to Marry Acheron

Honkai: Star Rail, Marry Acheron First Upon Landing. Author: No Peaches Association

Synopsis:

The moment Lin Shuang transmigrated, she fell into Acheron's arms.

The system told her to confess to Acheron.

Was Lin Shuang that kind of person?! She would rather die out here—

What? This godforsaken place had a Stellaron?

Sorry, she had been too loud just now. Let's discuss how to marry Acheron instead.

"Acheron, cooperate with me for a ritual. Don't worry, it's very simple."

Even if they got married, it would only be because circumstances forced them into it. Lin Shuang would never do something as scummy as that!

But marrying the little Herta dolls only made her a pervert. How could that count as being scummy?

Flirting with game characters in a game and going crazy over virtual characters—how could that count? How was she supposed to know the person on the other end was Silver Wolf?

Likewise, when she married Stelle in the Simulated Universe, it had clearly only been to test the Simulated Universe!

And when she married Firefly in a dream, could things done in a dream even count? She had only wanted to give her a complete life.

And also...

"Mhm. Keep making excuses. I'm listening."

Acheron of the White-Haired Form calmly looked at the sweating Lin Shuang, one hand gripping the hilt of her sword.

A silver-white ring gleamed with a cold light on the ring finger of her left hand.

"First, explain the meaning of this Pair of Rings."

Volume One: Chapter One: Got It, I'm Marrying Acheron

Amid boundless ruins, two suns scorched the earth.

Rift monsters and the Destruction Legion wandered through a world that had fallen utterly silent.

A tall woman with long dark-blue hair, wielding a massive sword resembling a tachi, walked among the Rift creatures and the Destruction Legion. Her expression was so calm that she seemed almost empty.

Her blade never left its sheath; she simply swung the scabbard casually.

Every monster in her path was sliced into pieces in an instant.

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

She had temporarily driven back the nearby monsters.

Acheron, half her face concealed by her bangs, looked at the corpses scattered across the ground. Her expression remained placid, carrying a trace of emptiness.

No wonder she had gotten stuck here while crossing the galaxy. A Stellaron had been blocking the way.

But it didn't matter.

To her, the Stellaron's influence amounted to no more than this—it had merely slowed her down a little.

With a bit of time, she could leave the Stellaron's range of influence.

As for these Rift creatures and the Destruction Legion, they were nothing more than pesky little bugs.

Just then.

Above Acheron's head.

A small wormhole opened without warning.

A girl in the White-Haired Form fell straight out of it.

Acheron watched the falling girl.

Sensing neither danger nor malice from her, she raised both hands.

Pfft—

Lin Shuang fell directly into Acheron's arms.

Acheron merely shifted her arms slightly, dispersing the force of the fall.

"Huh?"

Lin Shuang, who had suddenly been abducted by the system, had thought she would fall to her death after emerging from the wormhole.

Who would have thought that she would feel the warmth of another human being?

When she opened her eyes, she met beautiful eyes that seemed both dull and utterly empty.

Holy shit, Acheron!

Lin Shuang's first reaction was excitement. The real Acheron was even prettier than her 2D version!

Her second reaction was shock. She had apparently fallen into Acheron's arms and was being carried bridal-style.

Random teleportation complete.

Target detected. Harem System officially activated.

Target: Acheron

Affection: 50 (Friendly)

Relationship: None

Novice Mission: Propose Love to Acheron. The more passionate the feelings, the deeper the impression they leave.

Reward: (No intimate relationship required for the Novice Mission) Randomly draw one card.

Lin Shuang looked at the task the system had given her and was speechless for a moment.

Fine, fine, so this was how it wanted to play.

A fucking harem system? She was a pure-love warrior!

She had been at home, eating hot pot and singing songs while watching Acheron's two animated shorts, when this damn system had fucking abducted her.

Lin Shuang wanted nothing more than to grab the system and punch it twice.

Was this damn system trying to make her lose her mind? It clearly wanted her dead!

Acheron looked easy to talk to in her current state only because her memories were missing, which made her seem a little dazed.

But who knew when she might suddenly spend an Achievement Point and split Lin Shuang in two?

Great Void had fucking died for no reason at all like that.

As Lin Shuang gritted her teeth and cursed the damn system, a bone-chilling palpitation suddenly rose within her.

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

But before Lin Shuang could react.

Or rather, Acheron was so fast that Lin Shuang had no chance to react at all.

Lin Shuang only saw flashes of sword light before every approaching enemy was torn to pieces.

"Gulp..."

Watching that ultimate display of violent beauty, Lin Shuang's heart began beating uncontrollably.

Was this really someone she could handle?

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

Once her feet touched the ground again, Lin Shuang looked up at the tall Acheron.

Only then did she suddenly realize that she seemed to be even shorter than Acheron. Had that damn system switched her body and stolen some of her height too?

"@#%..."

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

After freezing for a moment, Lin Shuang remembered that Honkai: Star Rail took place in a vast galaxy where countless races spoke countless languages.

Without a Synesthesia Beacon, communication was impossible.

She was screwed.

As Lin Shuang thought this, her expression darkened once again.

Acheron looked at the girl in the White-Haired Form standing before her.

For some reason, whenever she saw those sky-blue eyes, she instinctively felt a little closer to her.

Watching the girl's expression constantly change, Acheron inexplicably found her somewhat adorable.

But seeing the other girl's confused look, Acheron realized something.

This girl did not have a Synesthesia Beacon.

With that thought, Acheron rummaged through her clothes and took out an injector.

Then Acheron saw the girl's face suddenly turn extremely terrified, as though she wanted to run away.

But Acheron merely reached out, and her immense strength immobilized the girl's body as the injector was smoothly administered.

"Can you understand what I'm saying now?"

The voice that had sounded like gibberish suddenly became a language she could understand.

Lin Shuang immediately stopped struggling and looked at the syringe that had been tossed onto the ground.

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

"Mhm. You're welcome."

Lin Shuang held back her questions. In this world, Synesthesia Beacons were like vaccines every newborn received.

What normal person carried one around when they went out?

"I'm Acheron. They say I'm a Galaxy Ranger; you may call me that. Who are you, and why were you able to open a wormhole in an area containing a Stellaron?"

Acheron could naturally tell the difference between a spaceship being forced off course by a Stellaron and someone opening a wormhole to teleport here.

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

The instant Lin Shuang heard the word Stellaron, she inwardly cursed.

She had thought the Destruction Legion had come for Acheron. Who would have guessed they were here because of the Stellaron?

This was troublesome. If it had only been an ordinary world, Lin Shuang would not necessarily have needed to gain strength immediately to protect herself.

But if this was a world infected by a Stellaron, then without strength, she truly would be unable to take even a single step.

Neither the Rift creatures nor the Destruction Legion were opponents that a half-baked person like Lin Shuang could defeat.

Yet Lin Shuang did not dare to keep traveling with Acheron forever.

The information she had on Acheron was still incomplete, and Acheron's condition was unstable. Although she was very nice under normal circumstances.

Lin Shuang did not dare gamble her life on whether Acheron's other personality was insane or not.

After all, Lin Shuang did not even know the conditions that triggered that state.

With that in mind, the plan of shamelessly sticking to Acheron was clearly not safe enough.

If possible, Lin Shuang wanted to mooch one or two card-draw opportunities off Acheron, gain enough power to protect herself to some extent, and then part ways.

"Lin Shuang. My name is Lin Shuang. I don't know why I was teleported here, and I wasn't the one who opened the wormhole."

Lin Shuang shook her head as she answered Acheron.

At the same time, she wondered whether she should try to save herself.

While assigning the mission, the system had also provided some additional information.

Aside from the Novice Mission, as a harem system, it allowed Lin Shuang to exchange every intimate relationship she established with a suitable target for a chance to draw cards.

Different levels of card-draw opportunities would be awarded depending on how intimate the relationship was.

From ordinary friends all the way to marriage, the card-draw tiers were obviously different.

But the system had not said how insufficient affection would affect the tier of the card draw.
