"Huh, you knew me?" Paimon was surprised that Alexy knew her name.
"I...uh...there is a famous toy doll that looks just like you and its name is Paimon so I blurted out." Alexy lied. (Maybe it's not good to tell her that I knew her from a dream.) he thought.
"Really?"
"Yes, of course...it is." Alexy continued to lie while avoiding Paimon's piercing eyes.
"Hmmm...anyway, let's go to the main topic. Congratulations, you are now the host of Genshin Impact System."
Alexy: "Genshin Impact System? What's that?"
Paimon: "You probably heard about the main protagonists getting a cheat-like system in many novels. And Genshin Impact System is a cheat-like system just like those."
Alexy: "Wait, you mean I have become like a protagonist in a novel."
Paimon: "Yep, just like them."
Alexy: "I don't want to. Those who get cheat-like systems always have to fight and put their lives on the line."
Paimon: "Sorry, but 'He' chose you."
('He'? Just like the one whom the blond boy...Aether talked about. Maybe they are the same person.) Alexy connected the 'He' Paimon mentioned with the 'He' he heard from Aether, which was still very vivid in his mind.
"'He'? Who?" Alexy asked.
"The One True God of the world of Teyvat, the King of Celestia." Paimon answered.
"Why did he choose me?"
"That you have to ask him when you meet him."
(Ugh.) Alexy could not help but lamenting in his head.
"Anyway, let's look at your status window." said Paimon.
"How do I do that? Just say 'status window' or..."
Before Alexy finished his words, the status window screen popped out.
"Yep, just say the word or think about it." Paimon answered Alexy's question. "Hurry up, look at it." Paimon was so enthusiastic even though it was not her status window.
"Fine!" Alexy was not enthusiastic as Paimon.

(Constellation should be about the stars, right? But shouldn't mine be Leo since I was born on August 22nd? And what the heck is Vision?)
"Hey, Paimon, what's Vision?"
"A Vision, formally "Eye of God", is a gift bestowed upon mortals whom the Gods recognize. They grant the user elemental abilities based on the element of their given Vision. It is said that those with Visions have a chance of ascending to Celestia and attaining godhood themselves."
(Hmm, Celestia, Paimon mentioned before that One True God of Teyvat is the King of Celestia.)
"What is Celestia?"
"In the world of Teyvat, where Paimon was in before, it was where the Gods reside. It is...was a floating island in the sky above Teyvat."
(Wait, a floating island!) Alexy immediately remembered the scene of the burning gigantic island on the ground. Before, he thought it was a normal island which was destroyed and thrown onto the land. But now, with Paimon's description, the island he saw could very well be Celestia.
(Wait! Then the twins who destroyed that world and killed Paimon were powerful enough to destroy a divine realm. Can I relinquish the ownership of this system?)
Then Alexy turned to look at the status window again.
Alexy: "What's the Adventure Rank?"
Paimon: "Similar to level, you can increase it by doing [com]missions, fighting, etc."
Alexy: "So what's about the characters?"
Paimon: "That's the most important part of this system. Through the gacha system, you can summon the characters and they will aid you in solving problems, doing [com]missions, etc."
Alexy: "Are they strong?"
Paimon: "They are the...most trustworthy peple Paimon has even met."
Alexy: "How can I summon them?"
Paimon: "By doing [com]missions, you can get something called primogem. With 160 primogems, you can purchase a ticket to perform the gacha. But there is a chance you will get a high-rank weapon, instead of a character.
(I can't fight. What do I need weapon for?)
"Look on the bright side. In fact, the gacha system has been greatly simplified. Before, it was more complex, and many disasters happened because people had poor luck in this gacha system." said Paimon with a positive voice.
"Alright, can I get missions now?" Alexy asked (I must hurry and summon characters to help me, or else, I'm doomed.)
"I think I'll take care of this from here."
Alexy heard a female voice, and when he turned around, he saw a black haired young woman.
"You are..."
"My name is Katheryne. I am the one who will be giving you commissions. In case you ask, this system has multiple A.Is, each of whom was given a different and unique responsibility. I'm in charge of daily commissions."
"..."
"Here are your daily commissions." Katheryne continued without letting Alexy have a word.

(What! Aren't these telling me to become a good child? And my brother is being bullied!)
"Heh, to become a hero, one must be a good family member first." Paimon looked at the commissions and smiled at Alexy.
"Do your best! Ad Astra Abyssoque!" said Katheryne.

Alexy opened his eyes and woke up in the morning.
"Ouch!" Alexy felt the pain when he immediately sat up on the bed.
"Oh, that's rare! You're awake already. Go wash your face and come down for breakfast!" said Alexy's mother, who intended to wake him up.
"Yes, mom!"
After his mother had left, Alexy checked to see if the system was real or it was just his dream.
(Status Window)
And there, the status window appeared in front of him.
(It's real!...It must be that weird encounter with that old grandma.) Alexy remembered his encounter with the weird old lady.

Meanwhile, in another place
An old woman was sitting leisurely, enjoying her tea. However, she was not leisurely enjoying the tea as she seemed.
"Sigh, Monad, I hope your choice is wise!" she mumbled.
