The girl who crossed through dimensions
The girl, reborn from the modern age into a fantastical world mirroring the otome game she once played, found herself entwined in a destiny fraught with divine complexities. The overarching threat of the demon king loomed, and a fervent mission to collect the sacred gnosis from six revered temples became the crux of her existence. Each temple, venerating gods of wind, fire, water, electricity, dendro, and martial prowess, held within its sacred confines a precious gem known as gnosis-a quintessential power needed to confront the malevolence that sought to plunge the realm into eternal darkness.
As the self-proclaimed saintess, she embarked on a journey alongside the kingdom's prince, her ally in this cosmic struggle. The Temple of the Wind God, embodying benevolence, willingly relinquished its gnosis to her cause. However, the other temples, though compelled by the gravity of the impending doom, hesitated to part with their divine treasures. Reluctance clung to their actions, and negotiations turned into precarious bargains, leaving the girl grappling with the realization that not all paths to salvation were paved with willing cooperation.
The pivotal moment unfolded at the hallowed grounds of the Temple of the Martial God, where the head priest staunchly refused to yield the coveted gnosis. Undeterred by the sanctity of the place or the implications of her actions, the girl, fueled by a potent mix of self-righteousness and determination, orchestrated an audacious invasion. Royal knights, torn between duty and the sacred, became instruments in a tragic symphony of clashes that stained the sacred grounds with the blood of devout followers and invading forces alike.
The head priest, standing at the precipice of mortality, spoke cryptic words in his dying breath. "To cleanse the land and defend our safe harbor, that was your first contract in Liyue, and now the final contract too has been set in stone." His utterance, laden with enigma, lingered as an ominous echo, a portentous precursor to the irrevocable changes that would cascade through the tapestry of fate.
Having wrested the gnosis from the unwilling temple, the girl, now ablaze with newfound power, embarked on the fateful quest to confront the demon king. Yet, blinded by the echoes of her otome game memories, she failed to recognize the stark disparity between her pampered existence and the hardworking heroine she once controlled.
The climactic confrontation with the demon king unfolded in a maelstrom of cosmic forces. However, the girl's hubris became a chink in her armor, a vulnerability the demon king exploited to enthrall her within a malevolent grasp. In her desperate struggle, a rift in reality manifested, and a figure emerged- the Martial God himself.
In a swift, decisive strike, the Martial God vanquished the demon king, revealing a truth that shattered the girl's illusions. "Don't think you're special just because of those memories of yours," he declared, his voice resounding with the weight of ages. "Stop relying on powers of gods. You know why they call me the Martial God? Because I am not a god at all. I ascended to godhood relying on my own mortal body. Even if you don't save the world, somebody else will save it. The world isn't so weak to require help from you, outsider."
In those poignant moments, the girl, humbled and defeated, gleaned a profound lesson. The world, resilient and enduring, transcended her fleeting presence. The Martial God's admonition echoed as a timeless truth, a testament to the indomitable spirit of mortals and the limits of an outsider's influence in a realm that had thrived long before her arrival.
