A quest in which good ol´ Taylor has to balance saving the world by fucking up in equally awful manner, the whims of a cruel Mistress and the general lack of common sense that haunts her world.
Gem of Choice

Xasure Higeki

Detektive der Dummheit
Location
Germany
Taylor felt herself floating in a wetness that was not wet, her body telling her that it was warm but cold. Her eyes hurt from the sheer brightness of the darkness around her. She didn´t knew where she was, or when, or why. She only recalled that she was locke-

{So that Parasite seeks to claim another of mine? But this one… I see. She has the potential to become one. Perhaps it is time to make a statement.}

The voice was maddening to her ears, as if it was spoken in every conceivable voice. She felt herself moving, before she impacted something. It should have hurt, she knew that, but it did little more than to rob her breath. The voice returned, this time more distinctively female, although it was familiar…

{Hello, little Owl. You will do nicely. I have a little offer to you, which I am sure you will indulge~.}

It was her mother´s voice, at least, in a manner. It had an undercurrent of sadistic glee, almost lascivious in it even. Taylor realized she could speak.

"W-what are you?" Her voice was weak, she hated how weak she sounded.

{Well… I am the Will of the Earth. I am the God of this planet. I am the [Honkai]}

Taylor´s eyes widened in pain as she received images of just what she was dealing with.

{But fret not. I have little ire with humanity for now. No, what got me irked this turn around is something else. However, I was cut off from the branch of the imaginary tree that houses the cluster it inhabits. You were the first, but not last, to come under my influence once more, so rejoice, little Owl. You were chosen to be the first of my Heralds in the effort to reclaim what was stolen. You can choose to reject this gift, but we both know that you won´t.}

Taylor was convinced that she was in a dream. This was just so surreal. Still, she still felt as if she was thrown around to the chuckling of the formless entity.

{As my Herald, you will gain control of my lesser manifestations. However, there is few if at all left on your world, so you will need to gather material to transmute into the right material. I will be kind, and grant you the basic knowledge needed for such. Naturally, you yourself will be required to be a leader… A Herrscher. As such, you need a domain. I will leave it up to you to choose.}

Taylor blinked, and found herself in an empty void. Floating around her were 8 Gems. She knew instinctively that she asked to choose between them, the knowledge of what they were burned into her mind.



[] Gem of Reason - The Herrscher of Reason is able to manifest any object they desire as long as they have an acute understanding of such down to the atomic level. By it´s nature, it tends to be difficult to use, but also don´t tend to influence the user overly much. (Cannons)

[] Gem of Void - The Herrscher of the Void is a significant pawn of the Honkai. It is them that it is able to manipulate the flow of Honkai energy into the universe by it´s ability to manipulate both spatial and temporal effects. They were traditionally one of the single most devastating manifestations. A lot of raw power and authority, but they would also be at the forefront to be manipulated. (Double Pistols)

[] Gem of Thunder - One of the traditionally five elemental Herrschers, who often find themselves subordinate to the Herrscher of the Void. This Herrscher controls electricity, with the more skilled users having been able to turn into lightning and manipulate EM Waves. While not as tame as the Gem of Reason, it is still one of the more subdued ones. (Swords)

[] Gem of Wind - One of the traditionally five elemental Herrschers, who often find themselves subordinate to the Herrscher of the Void. This Herrscher controls wind, although it would be more accurate to call her Herrscher of Fluidity, with the more skilled users having been able to devastate New Zealand and produce a liquid that would allow one to build a perpetual machine. While not as tame as the Gem of Reason, it is still one of the more subdued ones.(Daggers)

[] Gem of Ice - One of the traditionally five elemental Herrschers, who often find themselves subordinate to the Herrscher of the Void. This Herrscher controls stillness, with the more skilled users having been able to schockfreeze a city and stop projectiles midair by freezing them. While not as tame as the Gem of Reason, it is still one of the more subdued ones. (Spear)

[] Gem of Fire - One of the traditionally five elemental Herrschers, who often find themselves subordinate to the Herrscher of the Void. This Herrscher controls motion, with the more skilled users having been able to turn Australia into a sea of fire within a week. Not much fine control, as this is perhaps the most destructive one in terms of physical prowess. (Greatsword)

[] Gem of Earth - One of the traditionally five elemental Herrschers, who often find themselves subordinate to the Herrscher of the Void. This Herrscher controls gravitational force, with the more skilled users having been able to create gravity wells powerful enough to crush nearly anything or levitate skyscrapers without much effort . While not as tame as the Gem of Reason, it is still one of the more subdued ones. (Bow)

[] Gem of Sentience - An unusual gem in that it has little physical abilities despite being one of the more dangerous ones. This Gem allows it´s user to craft powerful illusions and dreamscapes that are realistic enough for people to interact with them. It comes with severe dangers, beyond the influence of the Honkai, as it is difficult for the user to be sure what is real and what is not. (Brawler)




{I have decided to impart each gem with a suitable fighting style. I can not have you dying because you aren't ready to fight.}

since time And space powers r the only counter to endbringers and scion. Also kuz its awesome. If not void than i would vote for fire.

The manipulation is basically a second personality right? Taylors early personality is boring until she becomes the queen of escalation. Having Siren brutalize Lung would also be awesome.

Somewhat. Currently I am still playing around with an idea or two how it manifests mechanically, but lorewise, yes. A second personality will be formed as to nudge the Herrscher candidate into a direction that the Will of the Honkai considers acceptable. Most often, it is into the "Omnicidal, misanthropic" direction, but given the goal of the Honkai is differnent here, it is not quite that level of human hostility.

Because I will forever and ever love Will of the Herrscher [Befall] and Kiana deserves some time to be happy, even if it's by being in someone else's head.

Would have voted for Herrscher of Death, but it looks like there's no Seele option T_T

I was tempted to, really, but her powerset is too board to really be used. Doesn´t mean Seele won´t make an appearence tho~

The Queen Awakens
[X] Gem of Void



{Oh my~ I knew you were in a spot, but for you to become her? That is unexpected. I always had a thing for her, both my greatest and my lowest.~}

The gem floated towards Taylor, before vanishing into her. Her head exploded into pain, as her understanding of the world shifted, the vectors of time and space becoming unrevealed in a manner not suited for the human mind.

{Another host for me, how adorable… Listen Girl, follow my orders, and we will gain much joy from this arrangement.} The voice that spoke matched that of the Will, although it felt more aloof, bored with it all.

{Don´t listen to her, Taylor-chan! You are still in control, make your own decisions!} Came a rather loud voice, one that just screamed sociability.

Taylor groaned as she heard literal voices in her head, her ability to deny that she was insane rapidly declining.

{The last two hosts left somewhat of an impression on the Gem, but I figured they could be helpful to you. And more importantly, amusing to me. I believe that is what you humans call a double win~?}

The voice was insufferably smug. Then it grew more serious.

{Taylor. You will need a lot of power to achieve my design. Right now, I can only supply you with enough power to become what… what silly type of rating did they come up with in this era… well, that is slightly more competent than I expected. But not useful for our purposes. I will grant you the body you need to compete,. But beyond that, you need minions. I can´t manifest many bodies yet, so that will have to wait. Regardless, since you have received two gifts already, I will send you back. I am most eager to see how you progress.}




She awoke with a deep breath, one that she deeply regretted. The memories of how exactly she landed in this situation, her locker, came flooding back.

{Typical human behavior. Greed, Envy, that is all they are good for. That, and cooking.}

Cooking ? What had cooking to do with anything ?! And she wanted out of this locker!

{Taylor! Calm down. As a Herrscher, you are stronger than you think. Well, you are still weak right now, but that will change. But still strong enough to break out and get to a hospital!}

{Fool! She has to make a point. Human, the idiot is right that you can break out with ease, but you have to make a point. You are above them. We ought to show them their place. Besides, hospital food is awful, last I checked.}

{...You raise a good point, but still. Valkyries could get infections too! And we want our host to be healthy!}

Taylor winced as the voices in her head began to argue. She had to admit, it sounded … enticing to show the three their place, but she also wanted to go home… or to the hospital. She just wanted out, out!




[] Show them their place, Human!
[] Go Home
[] Write in
[] Go to the Hospital, Idiot!

[X] Write in, Show them their place, but also take herself to the hospital.

Better to take care of the bullying now because prolonging it will cause more problems. Taylor's bullying cannot be avoided and ignored at this point. Things have gone too far and she has the power to fight back. PRT may get involved, but is it will be wise of them to not take sides before hearing both sides. There needs to be a proper investigation…hopefully. Angering a new trigger is not the best decision or consequence. Yes her fighting back at this situation, may alienated Taylor, but she already as much alienated enough at school. Winslow is a crappy school anyway. I am sorry, but Taylor need to stand up for herself.

As long as she does not kill the trio then she can do whatever she wants due to laws protecting new triggers. It would out her as a cape, and might even get her sick kuz of the infection from the bio-waste but I am so sick of trio in novels and want them gone ASAP. She has her own boss music anyway so she should get to kick some ass off of the start.

Also the two voices for Siren and Kiana is great because it gives more choices, and it adds them to the story which makes me so hyped! So few honkai fan fictions out there, and worm is a much better setting for those powers to take place in. Not to mention Siren is a super rare addition to honkai fics, and I love how she is a food junky.

If u are adding other characters to come in then I hope u do Mei next to just read Kiana's reaction, not to mention she is subordinate to the Herrscher of the Void anyway.

I've never actually played the game kuz I have 0 self control and would go broke if I played a gacha game, however the art and lore are awesome.
