Kiana guest it! And then she saw it! She watched some of the videos. Well was forced by Raynor! But she saw it!

Giggling breasts! Panty shots! Butt shots, they are here!

And that is extremely crucifying for her!

Honestly, she wanted to just erase these memories and be done for!

Thankfully Raynor didn't even bother mentioning it. He was all about video quality and music.

Eventually, he just fell asleep while holding her, and that was enough for her as well as she started to sleep as well.

What she dreamed was space and stars, almost like a reminder to her that her 'Real' body was sealed away in a pocket dimension far away.

~~~

As Raynor opened his eyes, he saw white hair; it made him slightly mystified by this hair.

It was beautiful. Eventually, he realised that he had Kiana sleeping with him. The girl was most certainly almost completely naked.

His eyes went to the clock on the wall. It was just around 6 in the morning.

He still has around 1 hour, and he is quite sleepy as he only got around 2 to 3 hours of sleep.

Though his slight movement woke the white-haired girl, her eyes slowly opened, and she looked around.

"Mmm?"

The girl swiftly realised where she was.

'Ooh…once again, my half-baked ideas got me in trouble.'

What she mean by that is that she was in an ambiguous relationship with Ryanor. And he holds all the cards, in the most literal sense.

What does number one waifu even mean!? Like she has no idea, all she wanted was the top, and that's about it!

"Morning, Kiana~," Raynor said with a drowsy tone. The beauty slightly moved for the first time in several hours.

"...Morning… so…I have been..wondering…."

"...About what?"

"...What does it mean to be number 1 Waifu?" She asked with an embarrassed tone. Thankfully she could not show her face as her head was on his chest.

"I don't know. That's something you came up with."

"...Ugh…"

For a second, she wondered what to say. This was, well, she was more capable with her actions, not words.

So.

'I should just do it?'

"... well…I think it would be more concrete. Stable? Solid? If we are a c-c-c-couple!?"

"...Uhhh…now you are working fast."

"Gah!?" She turned stiff. He is using her words against her!"

"...Though I see your point. However, my mother doesn't want anyone who can't cook…."

His words made her feel empty.

However, she won't ever give up. She experienced far too much for something simple as that to make her give up!

So she lifted her head and looked at him, and then she moved forward, kissing him on the lips! It was a simple peck! But! It was her first kiss!

"Hehehe! I won't give up so easily! This was my first kiss! Do you understand? Ray?" There was a certain confident look on her face.

"I see… quite crafty; I guess we can always see where this will go." He was only surprised for a short while as he quickly adjusted.

"...Hmm?"

"It's only a matter of time until I get more companions like Mei, Rita, Kallen…especially Mei; I want to see your reaction to her appearing here."

This made her start sweating. Yep.

Though she quickly put up a brave front.

"Then, it's fine. After all, you that I keep my promises!"

He hummed to himself.

"I guess you do. In the end, I can just don't summon you again."

"..."

*Gulp*

'He is right! He can just don't summon me ever again! This could even lead me to return to the seal!'

"...Understood."

"But I don't need to worry. Do I?"

To his question, she swiftly very quickly nodded to him.

"Yes. You don't need to worry."

After a serious conversation that Kiana started, of all people, Raynor snoozed around for a bit before getting up at seven.

Though the pair needed to be quiet until his mother left to work, only then did the pair walk downstairs to the kitchen.

"We need some regular clothes for you. By the way, can you use your solidified holograms?"

"...Umm? Yes? But I need to charge them up first. It absorbs my movements as energy before releasing them in short bursts."

"Nice; I assume you haven't had a chance?" He said that after handing over a few sandwiches to her.

"Sorta? Since we were in close quarters. I didn't want to hit you with projected cat pawns…." She said with a slightly embarrassed blush as her eyes went to the sandwiches.

"I see…" He nodded before thinking for a bit.

"I guess we are going to spend this afternoon training and checking out the elemental magic book I got, and when it is night time we will return to Honkai dungeon."

"Sounds like a plan."

~~~~~~After Classes~~~~~~

"It has been a while since we walked this far into the forest," Arno said to Raynor as they were walking a dirt pathway in a forest. Next to his path, a small ledge down is a river.

"...wow…this place looks nice! Can't remember when I was in a similar place before!" Kiana said with a slightly gushing voice.

"When you were a kid and walking through the Siberian wilderness. I am not counting the simulation you experienced."

"...Damn…you are like an encyclopedia…" Kiana said with an impressed tone, quickly returned to his side and proceeded to lean her head on his shoulder.

Arno, who looked at them from the side, could only look with a baffled look. Did he get Kiana as some sort of girlfriend?

"Ray, what did you do to her?" The blonde friend asked him; he needed to know what magic did he use!

"...Hmm? Do what?"

"How did she become so affectionate?"

"I always am! I and Ray—" Raynor swiftly intervene. " It's Ray and I, Kiana." To his words, she slowly nodded.

"Ray and I decided to become a c-c-couple!"

"...and Mei?"

"Gahhh! Why does it always come to Mei-senpai!?"

Arno looked dumbly at her.

"Because it's Iconic. Ray knows it. That's why he kept you at a distance."

She pouted at him before pointing her finger.

"Yes! I get that! BUT! I am in a different world; my original self is sealed away. It's already past…." She started it with a high amount of vigour but then deflated.

"...Right…"

"...Gahhh! Why you don't believe me!?"

"Hard to see after seeing the amount of 'Mei-Senpai'."

'Was I that bad!?' Kiana realised that her overeagerness might have been too much; even when she is in a different world and her original self is sealed, people still mistrust her dedication!

After walking for a bit more, they arrived at a small clearing. There was a small walkway down to the river.

"...Wow…so quiet here, no need to be on edge in case a Honkai beast will just lunge at you from somewhere. It's just awesome!" Kiana exclaimed as she ended up dropping on the grass under a tree.

"Yeah, and this place is extremely quiet; it's not season yet for swimming the river is still cold," Raynor said to her as he looked around.

He then thought of something.

The teen closed his eyes and imagined his 'Deck' window.

That moment he made a hand motion, and a golden card manifested in his hand!

"...Bro, what the hell!?"

"Heh! It worked! You see, the menus work with mental commands, so I can open but what if I imagine and use mental commands at the same time?"

The teen spun the card between his finger, then it glowed, and white golden armour replaced his regular clothes, followed by a cape, eventually, the Holy Sword Arondight.

"Holy fuck!" Arno exclaimed when he saw this!

"Did you just get a get-up!"

"I know, right? He just takes Lancelot's powers with simple card motion!" Kiana added her own two bits with a lazy eye roll.

"Yeah. For some reason, this reminds me of Digimon 2 and those egg evolutions. But I feel it leans more towards Fate Kaleid card inclusions."

"...I guess…" Arno was still baffled as he walked around and inspected him.

"Is the sword real?" What his friend asked was if the sword was a 'real' holy sword, not a real weapon.

"Very."

Raynor even made it glow for a second.

"Weird… isn't it powered by Gaia?"

"...Don't ask. For some reason, Kiana can use Honkai, and I can use Lancelot's powers. It's like everything works."

"...The Dungeon, then? It allows things to work?"

Raynor slowly nodded. He then fished out a card and handed it over to the blonde.

"Try it out."

Slowly, Arno took it and inspected it.

"It feels…like a normal card, but it looks like real bronze."

"Yeah, I know, now says the magical words."

"...Right! Manifest?"

The card glowed bronze and formed into a club.

"It works!"

"Yeah. I wonder can you learn magic the same way I can?"

"Bro, using your cards and learning magic are two different things!"

"They are, and we should see if we can make that hoop."

"I guess…"

After that, Raynor just lent him his introduction to Sorcery book.

While he in question proceeded to practise and see how far he could wield Lancelot's Template.

He wanted to see if he could use it similarly to Excalibur—for example, channelling energy through bursts of energy in the form of waves or arks.

For that, he just channelled magic into the blade and tried to release it in a burst. To do that, he tried to abruptly stop the flow.

'Nah, the wrong way.'

…

'Nope…'

…

'...again…'

"What is he doing?" *Crunch* Kiana asked him as she stuffed herself with potato chips.

"Hmm? You are already eating snacks!?" Arno, who heard the sound of the package being opened, exclaimed.

"Bored." The girl casually shrugged her shoulders.

"This doesn't mean you just start eating!"

*Crunch*

"Then what should I do?" She asked with a curious gaze.

"I don't know!? Train? You don't have your special Herrscher body now, do you?"

"But, I don't know to train against what! Ray can go to any sort of place!"

"That's the point! You need to be prepared!"

"...Not a problem! Ray is working to unlock my Herrscher forms. By the time we go somewhere crazy, I could have my Finality form!"

"...Right, you just want to eat your food. I get it."

"Gah! You said you don't know much about my place!"

"I am a weeb. You fall into stereotypes I can predict." Arno said with a snort.

"...Is that some sort of superpower!?"

"In a way. It's like you train for years for something until you eventually develop a sixth sense. Similar to battle sense you have."

"...Whoa…"

At that moment, an arc of light burst from Raynor's Holy Sword and rushed into a tree, chopping it cleanly off.

"Crap baskets!" Arno nervously exclaimed as he got up and rushed over to the cut-down tree.

"Bro, what now!? You do know that this place is considered an ecological park!" The blonde said with a worried look.

"Well, the cut was so clean that people might think it was done by aliens."

"...You kinda right about that. Jeez, so clean, it's like magic!" The fellow teen forgot about the issue of cutting down trees; instead, he focused on how slick the cut was.

"Yeah, looks nice. Your mythical stuff is unfair…." Kiana said to him as she walked over. Her hand was inside the potato chips bag. She looked like she was stuffing herself with them.

When Raynor said that, he deadpanned at her, he motioned her to come over.

The white-haired girl was confused for a second as she walked over and looked at him.

At that moment, the teen dismissed his fusion and lifted his hand; he then proceeded to clean her face up from all the crumbs she had on her face.

His actions caused her to start blushing like a tomato.

"Maybe I should lick it off?"

"...Ugh…can pass on that?"

"Why you should? Who was the one who stuffed with food?"

"...Fair point…"

~~~

Thankfully Raynor didn't start licking Kiana's face. Which she was thankful for; instead, he proceeded to read on elementals.

The thing was, it was strange because he felt feel that he could learn everything.

His mind would wander to the mist, which builds the dungeons. That thing should be extremely powerful.

Where did it come from? How did it appear in his mind?

Now that he could think about it, this mist could summon Kiana from a different realm of existence. He knows that Hoyoverse has its multiverse. So he summons someone from a completely different reality, and then he has Lancelot's Template.

Fate is another reality which is closed up on its own with its own rules and laws.

'It feels like Chaos and middle finger to everything….'

Yet, it felt right for him!

'Yeah, I should stop questioning this stuff; it works. It works. If I can wield sorcery, magecraft, Ki, Qi, whatever, then it's better for me.'

After coming to a decision, he proceeded to start practising magic. Since he was in a forest, fire magic is not recommended for obvious reasons. So instead, he equipped Lancelot's template again and proceeded to walk on the river.

"Well… let's see."

He slowly lifted his foot and tried to place it on water.

"Does it work?"

Arno asked curiously; Kiana was looking at this as well with curiosity.

"Yeah…though…I feel that I am standing on jelly." Raynor said with a small frown as he put his other foot on the moving water.

"Interesting. How does this even work?" The white-haired girl asked with a small frown.

"Well, in legends, Lancelot was raised by fairies, More specifically by the Lady of the Lake. She gave him her blessing so he could stand on water. Well, this was not confirmed until now.

His ability, the 'Protection of the Lake', usually improves one of the parameters of his choice, and walking on water is not mentioned." Arno explained to her as he watched how Raynor was trying not to faceplant into the water.

"...Parameters?"

"Like Strength, Speed, Endurance, except for Luck."

"...Oh, I see."

While the pair are discussing Lancelot's abilities, Raynor eventually gets the hang of walking to some degree and proceeds to try to summon water.

'Spread out magic, try sensing water, feel the unique characteristics of water.'

Remembering the book, he tried just that.

Moving water was even better. Because he can feel it move, all he needs to do is try to get control over it.

The first step is to stop the flow.

"Hmm?"

He opened his eyes and looked in front of him.

What he saw was water stopping in front of him, which meant that the water was trying to flow around!

I then tried to raise it, which failed instantaneously.

'Not Avatar style…sadge…'

Well, he can add some incantations.

'What if I try this?'

He closed his eyes and imagined his deck, and then, with a hand motion, a silver card appeared in his free hand.

The card glowed and turned into a staff.

"Oh… now we are talking!" Raynor could feel the surge of controllable mana! He lifted the staff and pointed up.

Strings of water proceeded to rise from the river. He then motioned a circle, and the water started to gather into a ball.

The whole process lasted for some time.

Once it was ready, the teen pointed forward, which ended up launching the ball of water into the distance.

It ended up creating quite a large splash in the distance.

Though after this, he felt quite tired. This was a pure magic exercise as the water was mixed with his magic.

"That was interesting… kinda slow," Kiana said from the shore.

"Yeah. However, this is only the third day of him having this power."

"True…"

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

After spending the whole afternoon at the riverside, the trio went back.

Raynor left the Introduction to Sorcery with Arno, who will be reading up on it at home, while the teen himself decided to spend the remainder of the day reading on Elementals.

Later on, when his mother got back, he recalled Kiana and got back to doing his homework.

Soon after, he was back in his dreamland and in front of him were his options for the dungeon.

[Continue Dungeon Diving?]

(Honkai Impact 3rd) [Dungeon 2/10]

[YES] [NO]

[Select Another Dungeon]

[Create New Dungeon]

After pressing [Yes], he appeared in a much more advanced-looking research room.

In front of him were double automatic doors, and the lightning itself was built into the walls and the ceiling. The place was far brighter than the previous one.

'This is giving me Schnicsal vibes.'

He thought to himself as, after looking around; he summoned Kiana.

"Oh? Is my turn already?"

"Yep. It appears the surroundings improved considerably; this means we are in for more serious threats."

"Alright!"

With a nod, Raynor summoned his card and fused wordlessly.

He clenched his sword for a bit before proceeding to walk towards the doors.

Once they walked out from the starting room, they were greeted by a corridor which is running horizontally to them.

This means they either go left or right.

"...Right… already we have to make a choice." He said with a sigh.

"Left or right?"

"... Let's go left!"

She pointed to her left.

"Sure."

As they were walking, they looked around. It was silverly white corridors built from some sort of metal. The lights kept this place extremely bright. This means no one can jump on them, but at the same time, it gives the vibes of a hospital.

Eventually, they reached another set of double doors.

"...Honkai beast!"

Kiana said extremely seriously as she lifted her guns.

With a nod, they took a step, and the doors opened up.

It was a dead end, but it was a wide room.

One by one, zombified girls appeared, and right behind them, a templar manifested as well!

"The dungeon is not holding back! We get the previous boss as a random mob now!"
