Ailin was pulled from his game into Teyvat and woke in the body of Ellin, the Future Knight, discovering he had become a girl. As he accepted Ellin’s parents as his own, a Cryo Vision and a bow appeared in his arms.

• Ailin tried to complete Ellin’s commission by firing Ganyu’s arrow from Dragonspine and teleporting to Mondstadt, but a light pulled him into the game world.

• A cold storm filled Ellin’s room, and an icy blue Vision and a bow appeared in Ailin’s arms.

After receiving a Cryo Vision and Amos' Bow, Ailin accepted life in Ellin's body and took her name. A system then loaded, granting him Ganyu's skills and talents and materializing his game inventory.

• Cryo transformed Ailin's appearance, and Hermann and Ellin's mother celebrated her new Vision before leaving her alone.

• After Ailin accepted the name Ellin, a system loaded and granted her Ganyu's skills and talents, along with her original game inventory.

Ellin inspected her new system and discovered talents that let her learn any demonstrated move and gain extra Visions by befriending other Vision bearers. After recovering from her training, she went out to explore Mondstadt, where her new appearance drew curious and admiring attention, and arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.

• Ellin noticed Mondstadt residents watching her, learned that Hermann had told people about her Vision and appearance, and reached the Adventurers' Guild.

Ellin met Fischl and bonded with her over their shared melodramatic manner of speaking. Fischl helped Ellin register with the Adventurers' Guild and secure a C-rank commission, then took her out of the city.

• The fireball barrage devastated the forest and surrounded the group with flames, leaving Fischl trapped as the Whopperflowers approached and Oz stood between them.

Fischl and Ellin coordinated their attacks to break both Whopperflowers’ shields, then Ellin unleashed a powerful Frostflake Arrow that blasted away the flames. Outside the forest, Jean learned that Fischl and Ellin were trapped inside and prepared to rescue them, but spotted a blue light in the fire.

• Fischl and Ellin coordinated their attacks to break the Whopperflowers’ Pyro shields and send them flying together.

• Amber told Jean that Fischl and Ellin had accepted a commission to eliminate Large Pyro Slimes and that their parents were frantic.
• Jean promised to bring Fischl and Ellin back safely, then spotted a blue light in the flames.

After Ellin and Fischl collected their commission reward, Cyrus and Jean apologized to Ellin and her father for the danger caused by the Guild’s misinformation and the Knights’ failure to find the Blazing Whopperflower.

After the forest fire, Ellin reflected on the dangers of Teyvat and realized she needed to improve how quickly she channeled elemental energy. She inspected her system inventory and wondered whether an energy-recharge artifact could help her channel energy faster.

• Ellin returned to her room after the fire was extinguished and thought about how dangerous real battles in Teyvat were.

• Ellin examined an attack sands artifact and learned that the inventory's artifacts had only a set, main stat, and level.
• Ellin saw that her level 20 Anemo sands had energy recharge as its main stat and wondered whether it would let her channel elemental energy faster.

• At sunset, Fischl told Ellin how happy she was to have met her, and Ellin promised to protect Fischl whenever she was in danger.

Ellin visited the Training Ground to learn how to control her Cryo Vision, and Noelle taught her how to form shields and elemental greatswords. Ellin quickly applied the lesson in surprising ways, leaving Noelle stunned as she summoned a huge ice greatsword.

• Ellin summoned a dull-edged greatsword and drew the surrounding freezing air into an ice greatsword nearly eight meters long, shocking Noelle.

• Fischl's parents noticed how happy she had become since befriending Ellin.
• Fischl and Oz visited With Wind Comes Glory, where Fischl chose a Cryo Slime pendant for Ellin but was short of the Mora needed to buy it.
• Fischl accepted a Church of Favonius commission to gather wolfhooks in Wolvendom so she could earn the remaining Mora.
• Fischl and Oz searched the woods until they heard digging and saw two Abyss Mages directing Hilichurls around a Statue of the Seven.

• Fischl's mother told Ellin that Amy had not returned from gathering Wolfhooks in Wolvendom.
• Ellin called for Feng'er and hurried toward Wolvendom to search for Fischl.

Fischl was gravely wounded after fighting the Abyss Mage and its Hilichurls, and she called for Ellin before losing consciousness. Ellin arrived in time to send Oz and Feng'er to carry Fischl to Mondstadt, then faced the Abyss Mage in a furious rage.

• Ellin turned on the Abyss Mage, her eyes bloodshot and her killing intent making it tremble.

Ellin used the Wind-Pressure Sword and fought through severe injuries to defeat the Hilichurl Berserkers. Exhausted but still furious, she turned her attention to the two Abyss Mages.

• Ellin combined her increased physical strength with her practiced instincts to unleash the Cryo-infused Wind-Pressure Sword against six Hilichurl Berserkers.
