Who Isn't a Herrscher?

Who Isn't a Herrscher? By: Asada Deck's Shallow Person

Synopsis:

Luo Mio stood on the deck of the Hyperion, putting down the mop and bucket in his hands, and looked at the enemies in the sky.

The corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile.

"Sorry, I just finished cleaning the deck."

Then, he held the Domain of Sanction in one hand, pointing it at the enemy.

He inserted the Original Sin on his back into the ground beside him with his other hand.

Void Fissures appeared behind him, and within them, the Domain of Truth slowly materialized.

"Now is the time to twist all phenomena—!!!"

Chapter 1: The Captain is Also a Valkyrie

"Huh? What... did I transmigrate?"

Luo Mio woke up from his slumber, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.

A pure white, flawless space, with only himself standing out in this expanse of white.

As a teenager in the 21st century, he didn't die from staying up late and transmigrating to a cultivation world like in the novels, nor did he get hit by a car while going out or crossing the road and get reincarnated into another world as the grandson or son of some big shot. At home, he wasn't doted on by his father or loved by his mother; he was like an invisible person at home.

He just picked up his phone as usual, opened Honkai Impact 3rd, clicked on the scan code, and scanned the QR code on his computer desktop to log into the game. He grinded his daily tasks, finished the Abyss, played the Battlefield, and finally interacted with his waifu. He even remembered the ancient times when his waifu would kick him off the ship with a single tap. Unexpectedly, while tapping, his waifu suddenly moved and kicked him unconscious. When he woke up, he was in a foreign land.

"Other people transmigrate with cheat codes, but all I have is this blank, silent space?" Luo Mio complained, looking at the pure white space surrounding him.

He swallowed, looking at the quiet, soundless space around him.

"Ding—"

"Eek—!!!" The sudden sound made Luo Mio jump, and he then looked towards the source of the sound.

In the pure white space, behind Luo Mio, a mechanical-looking elevator appeared. The open elevator door clearly indicated that Luo Mio should enter.

"Gulp."

Luo Mio swallowed and walked in.

"Ding—"

The door closed, and Luo Mio clearly felt that he was... no... ascending.

However, Luo Mio looked at the mechanical elevator that was already etched into his mind, the transparent elevator doors, and the scenery outside the doors.

No way, no way.

Luo Mio, who had been somewhat fearful, gradually calmed down.

The door opened.

"Captain on the bridge."

Luo Mio listened with a headache to the door-opening voice that was etched into his DNA and the background music that made him want to grind—

"Ding."

"Welcome, Host, to the ship."

A mechanical voice sounded.

"You're my system?"

"Confirmed, that is correct."

"Can you explain why my bridge deck is appearing here?"

"Confirmed, this system will select something deeply imprinted in the host's memory as a carrier and bind to it."

Luo Mio's mouth twitched, and he said, "So, all the scenes and BGM from just now and now are from Honkai Impact 3rd?"

"Yes."

"Now, please prepare yourself for transmigration."

"Huh? What? Transmigrating worlds? So soon?" Luo Mio exclaimed upon hearing the system's words.

"Negative. Before transmigrating to a world, the host must prepare a skill."

"Hmm? A skill? I have to learn it myself?"

Luo Mio asked in surprise, "Skills aren't something you should give me a gift pack or skill points for, and then I just learn them?"

"Query: Is the host living in a dream? This system does not provide any skill gift packs."

"Huh?"

"This system is merely a tool assistant to help the host become stronger on their own, not like the ones in the host's memory that give out a lot of rewards."

Luo Mio gasped as he listened to the system's explanation.

"Alright, then tell me, what skill is it?"

"The international common language from the host's world."

Luo Mio: "..."

Luo Mio: "Σ(☉▽☉..."

Hearing the skill name given by the system, Luo Mio was stunned on the spot.

"No, say that again, what is it?"

"International common language."

"(╬￣皿￣)凸..."

"@!＃￥%, do I have to learn the international common language after traversing worlds? Huh? Little bro, I suspect there's something wrong with you."

Luo Mio directly cursed.

"?, Query, does the host think that the whole world, the whole universe speaks Chinese? The system suspects the host has watched too many M-country blockbusters, anime, H-country romance dramas, and Huaxia cultivation novels."

"I..." The system's explanation left Luo Mio speechless. After an internal struggle, Luo Mio chose to compromise and said to the system, "Okay, how do I learn it then."

"Confirmed, the system will contact the world consciousness and establish a time management space for the host."

"Ding—"

"Confirmed, establishment successful, please host proceed to the spatial gate on your left."

Luo Mio looked to his left upon hearing this and saw a vortex-like door appear. Inside the door, a spacious library could be vaguely seen.

As soon as he stepped in, Luo Mio felt a wave of dizziness. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a super-large library space.

"Please rest assured, host, the flow of time in this space is different from the outside, and your spirit will never feel tired, allowing you to study continuously."

Luo Mio looked at the library before him, his mouth twitching.

"Can't your established spaces have a little more innovation?!"

Luo Mio complained, because the library before him was all too familiar. It was the library from Chapter 2 of Honkai Impact 3rd's story and Theresa's side story!

"Query, is this what the host should be concerned about now? Please host study seriously now."

The space around Luo Mio instantly transformed into a different appearance. Inside the circular library, Luo Mio sat in the center of a circular desk, with books on various languages and scripts appearing around him.

"Other people's transmigration either starts off invincible or meets beautiful heroines and reaches the peak of life. But me? I'm being rushed to study by my own system from the start."

"Ahhhhhh, wsm!!!"

After an unknown amount of time, a vortex in the bridge flashed with dazzling light, and then Luo Mio walked out of it.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh, I'm finally out!!!"

Looking at the changed environment around him, Luo Mio, who didn't know how long he had spent in the time management library space, shouted excitedly, tears of sorrow streaming down his face.

"Ding—"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the skill mission. Please select a host character carrier and traverse worlds."

The system's ruthless voice echoed in Luo Mio's ears.

"Can't you let me rest for a bit!"

"What does selecting a character carrier mean? Please explain," Luo Mio asked the system with confusion.

"Confirmed, the character carrier will be selected based on the Valkyrie armors in the game Honkai Impact 3rd."

"..."

After a while, Luo Mio, having calmed down, asked the system, "So, as the Captain, I have to transform into a Valkyrie and traverse worlds?"

"Confirmed, yes."

"Then bring up the Valkyrie interface."

"Confirmed."

Then, a translucent blue screen appeared before Luo Mio's eyes, displaying various Valkyrie armors.

"System, can I check the world I'm about to traverse?"

"Confirmed, please host check the upcoming world in the 'Deploy' option."

With a thought, Luo Mio exited the Valkyrie interface and brought up the deploy interface. Upon opening it, Luo Mio saw that the main story chapters in the game's deploy menu had been replaced with the words "World Traversal Journey."

Luo Mio complained, "Can't you, this system, have some innovation?"

The system directly responded with a query: "?, Are you teaching me how to be a system?"

Despite the complaints, the system still opened the traversal interface.

Then, a flash of white light appeared. The sudden white light forced Luo Mio to close his eyes. After a while, Luo Mio opened his eyes, and the surrounding scenery had changed. It was a deep and brilliant starry sky, and what caught Luo Mio's attention was a massive world bubble in front of him. Below the world bubble were a few large characters.

"It's a world I know."

Luo Mio looked at the world bubble before him and asked the system, "System, is this the world I'm about to traverse?"

"Confirmed, that's correct, this is the world the host is about to traverse."

Luo Mio pondered in silence for a moment before speaking.

"System, bring up the character carrier interface."

"Ding—"

Luo Mio stared at his wives, recalling the worldview of the Chivalry of a Failed Knight world.

After thinking for a while, Luo Mio opened his eyes and selected a character on the character carrier.

"To ignite the soul of ACG action, it has to be my Fu Hua 3rd!!!"

"Confirmed. Host has selected character carrier—Fu Hua. Please confirm Valkyrie battlesuit. Due to rule limitations, the host can only choose an A-rank Valkyrie battlesuit."

"A-rank, huh..." Luo Mio fell silent for a moment, then chuckled, "Then what's there to say? Of course, I'll choose my physical battle god, Bai Ye!"

"Confirmed. Host has selected Valkyrie battlesuit—Night Squire. Please select a weapon to carry. Due to the rules of the Chivalry of a Failed Knight world, the weapon you choose will transform into a Unique Spiritual Gear. Please choose carefully."

"A weapon... can I choose a Divine Key?"

"No. The Honkai Impact 3rd bound by the system will restore the world according to its plot and settings. Divine Keys are the authority weapons of Herrschers, which the host cannot wield at this time. The power of Stigmata is also beyond the host's current grasp."

"Is that so? Stigmata won't work either... Then I'll choose the weapon, Eternal Twilight Wolves."

"Confirmed. Host has selected character carrier Night Squire, maximum SSS rank. Weapon Eternal Twilight Wolves, maximum level 50. Execute transmigration now?"

Luo Mio didn't execute immediately. Instead, he asked, "System, you just said, 'due to the rules of the Chivalry of a Failed Knight world.' What are those rules?"

"..., World rules are the origin of that world's consciousness, that is, the world consciousness. Every world has rules set by its own world consciousness."

"Whether it's someone within the world or someone from outside the world, no matter how strong you are or whether you've transcended, your status and rank within the world will be lower than the world's. Therefore, you must abide by the rules set by the world consciousness and must not interfere with or change the world."

"And what if I don't abide by them?"

"The penalty for minor offenses is expulsion; for severe offenses, it is annihilation."
