Summary
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

Summary
Suddenly, and before he could recompose himself, the door opened to reveal a tired Childe. Xiao froze, staring at the man who'd opened the door while he blinked the sleep out of his eyes, clearly surprised by Xiao's appearance.
"...Xiao?" He furrowed his brows gently. "What are you doing here?"

Summary

And Zhongli is just one such god.
// A character study on Zhongli, showing insights into his past, his thoughts and his erosion.

Summary
When Childe didn’t immediately reply, Zhongli raised his other hand to his chin, eyes falling from Childe's as he thought.
"A time loop," he added, pensive. "It is said that Rex Lapis was caught in one during the Archon War, as one of the other gods hoped to capture him there instead of actively fighting him. Since his prowess in battle far outweighed theirs, they chose instead to curse him into a loop of repeating the same day, over and over."
A tap to his lips with one hand. "He was able to break the loop only by overcoming the regret and the guilt that had locked him there. Finish the unfinished business, as it were."
or: Childe can't fight his way out of heartbreak, and he certainly can't fight his way out of a time loop. Living a day of the worst week in his life over and over (with a heart definitely, absolutely not still aching from Zhongli's little lie) was not in the itinerary for his stay in Liyue.
