In that of the middle of space, you would think that space would be less colorful, less vibrant. Well, I guess things can be a bit wrong in the sense of the word, as in the middle of it would seem to be a space station. This space station's name was Herta Space Station, owned by one of the Genius Society's members, Herta herself. Inside of it were many staff members and people working along, doing their jobs, and everything else. Leading them was a young woman with red hair, a white-like dress, or uniform to be precise, and blue skirt. She seemed to be holding some sort of telescope-like weapon as she was telling everyone to do their job.

As next to her was a dark-skinned boy with white hair. He seemed more like a bodyguard than a worker for her, but it was clear from how they interacted that they seemed to be at least somewhat good friends, or good friends in general. He had purple eyes, dark skin, white hair, looked like straight on, looked like more of a bodyguard kinda.

They seemed to be talking as they were walking. With them was a small little puppy, who was also going by duty as well. As they were walking, they heard the alarms go off, and immediately got scared. As they basically told everyone to move their butts, or move and get to safety, the black-haired boy looked around before he was ready to fight as well. Well, they were all in a different place with two other people. One was a young girl, or young woman to be more precise, with shoulder-length light pink hair and pink and blue eyes. She wears a white top with a golden button that tips up to her black collar, as well as loose pink and blue overcoat. She also wears a blue and white plate skirt with a black vest around her waist. Her camera attaches at her hip, as well as black and blue boots. She also wears ordinary archery gloves on her right hand as she was holding a bow and arrow.

Next to her was another man. He seemed a little bit older than the girl, but maybe not by much. It was hard to tell how old he was. If anyone asked him, they would say someone around his twenties to early thirties, or more or less that. But little did anyone know that this man was much, much older.

As he looked at the girl, the girl nodded as they started to run. Running with them seemed to be very tall. He is a young man with blue eyes, fair skin, and black hair. He wears a black turtleneck, dark green with a quick-pocked inspirational fasting, along with a white and green collar coat, with golden smoke-styled acceptance, and a piece of jade armor on his left shoulder. On his right arm is a dark-colored marker. He wears dark gray pants and black high-top shoes. He wears white stoles, as well as an Othello-style jade hassle, even with a lace contact with the outer air. This man's name was Dan Heng

Meanwhile in that of an elevator was a woman, she can be described as being very beautiful and charming — a young woman with red wine-colored hair that she ties in a messy ponytail with two loose bangs hanging on either side of her face. Her eyes are of a similar, lighter color, and she wears dark pince-nez sunglasses on top of her head along with a pearl earring in her right ear.
She wears a white dress shirt that exposes the top of her back and shoulders along with a black jacket that is draped over her shoulders. There's a silver butterfly pin on its left lapel, and on the back there is a large, spider-like pattern in the center, along with webs on both shoulders and a burgundy inside. There are also wine-colored straps with golden accents on both her jacket and thighs, and gloves of a similar shade. She has large silver rings on each of her fingers, and her gloves have silver spiderwebs on the backhand.
She wears black, high waisted shorts and nylon tights, with a thigh garter on her right leg. She also wears black boots with two different lengths: the right goes over her knee, while the left goes slightly over

Next to her was man, tall handsome and everything, he is a man with fair skin, long dark blue hair with red tips, and red eyes.
He wears an oriental-styled black tailcoat with red clothed insides and gray trousers. The tailcoat is embroidered with gold and dark blue colors, and he wears a black belt alongside a styled metal decoration on his left thigh. He also wears a black glove on his right hand, and bandages can be seen wrapped around his right arm, right thigh, and on his left hand.
[ Insert image of Blade ]
Blade looked at Kafa. "Did I have to be here"
Kafka smiled back at her husband. "Oh come on blady, it all part of the script"
They walked out, as bonch of monster came too attack them but Kafa shot them with her bullets and blade sliced them with his sword, Blade grunted as they started to walk, as they did another tryee to attack them, but he was turned to digital data, as they saw who to was
She is a petite young woman who loosely resembles Bronya in terms of appearance. She wears a short, black coat along with a crop-top which covers the upper part of her body, exposing her navel. She also wears black unbuttoned shorts with a decorative piece of black and purple fabric that hangs off the back, along with a white belt that has a game console attached at the hip.
On her head she wears purple glasses, as well as a black bow which she uses to tie her hair into a loose ponytail. She also wears a pair of black, white, and blue boots, along with a knife attached to her right leg and short fishnets up the calf on the left. In addition, she has blue bandages on her left knee and lower back.
[ Insert image for Silver Wolf ]
Silver wolf looked at Blade. "Don't question it, original plan only me and Kafka, so let's go to the room where the setlleron is".
These were a team of 5 space criminals kinda, or that what the IPC sees them as they, walked into a room where the stelleron was as they then actived something, Blade sigee, as he plucked a part of his hair, and so did kafak.
Silver them looked at them. "Alright pick a gender"
The they both looked a monitor screen with two people
[ Insert image for Caelus and Stella here ]
Kafa looked at the two people and smiled a motherly smile. "They both are cute, my adorable little baby's, I pick the boy"
Silver wolf sighed as she pressed a button, as they startee to basically 3d print a human as it was done, a blast of energy as there was another
Silver was shocked seeing Stella there as well. "Will shit"
Blade picked her up. "Leave the boy and take the girl that is what Elio said"
The trio then left, leaving Caelus alone.

"The void it cold kinda, I don't remember must but I don't remember either
[ Your name is Caelus ]
"Who is that"
[ I am your System ]
"The hell is a system"
As Caelus floated there, suspended in the cold vastness of space, a gentle hum pulsed in his mind, the only warmth in an otherwise freezing emptiness.
[ I am your System, Caelus. I am here to guide you, to help you harness the powers that lie dormant within you. ]
"The powers... within me? What does that even mean?" Caelus's voice was shaky, uncertain, and a bit confused.
[ You are destined to become the Herrscher of the Stars. I am here to help you discover that destiny. ]
"Herrscher... of the Stars?" Caelus repeated slowly, testing the words. They sounded foreign, yet there was something oddly familiar, like the faintest flicker of a memory he couldn't quite grasp.
[ Correct. You have a unique role in the cosmos, Caelus. As Herrscher of the Stars, you wield powers that can influence worlds, control starlight, and protect or destroy at will. ]
"So... I'm supposed to be some kind of hero?" Caelus asked, a mix of excitement and fear in his voice. "Or... a destroyer?"
[ That choice lies with you. I am here to provide the tools, but your path is your own to forge. ]
A flicker of light began to coalesce around him, small particles of stardust swirling into forms he couldn't quite decipher. The cold began to recede, replaced by a gentle warmth, as if a star had started to awaken inside him. Information began pouring into his mind – abilities, skills, and knowledge about distant galaxies and ancient cosmic forces.
[ Would you like to activate your first skill, Stellar Manipulation? ]
Without fully understanding, Caelus nodded, and suddenly his hand glowed with a radiant light, illuminating the darkness around him. He looked down at his fingers, seeing traces of starlight flowing through them like veins of cosmic energy.
"This… this is amazing."
[ That is only the beginning. Your abilities will grow as you journey through the universe. However, be warned, the more you discover, the greater the challenges you will face. The power of the stars is not without its burdens. ]
Caelus took a deep breath, still processing everything. "So... what happens now? Am I supposed to go somewhere or meet someone?"
[ For now, you are alone, but not for long. There are others who will seek you – allies and enemies alike. The Stellaron you were created from has drawn the attention of powerful forces. Trust in the power within, and you will find your way. ]
Caelus looked at his system. "So what is a Herrscher"
[ Herrscher — also known as a Lawman, Lawmaker, or Ruler — is an envoy, or rather apostle of the Honkai, who inhabit human vessels that are capable of adapting to it, manifesting out of the host's negative emotions. They are powered via a Herrscher Core, which is essential to their entire existence. If the Core is not neutralized when the body is destroyed, the Herrscher can take over another person as a vessel, provided that vessel has the Core implanted.
Herrschers, as their title suggests, effortlessly transcend human capabilities, are capable of bending worldly laws to their whim and command entire armies of zombies and Honkai Beasts, to overwhelm and destroy human civilization, the goal of the Honkai.
One Herrscher alone is quite powerful, but against humanity's technology, it often takes more than one of them to actually destroy the world. Additionally, as the Honkai adapts, the Herrschers adapt too. Two Herrschers of the Previous Era were able to bring destruction to civilization with abilities engineered specifically to counter them, while lacking the ability to contend with the destructive capability of other Herrschers.
the Herrschers that descend upon humanity are not 'true' Herrschers. Instead, their Herrscher Cores are projections of the Cocoon of Finality's powers through different dimensions, thus making them appear in reality. The Cocoon of Finality is the only imaginary singularity and the one and only 'true' Herrscher core. Thus the Cocoon of Finality is the only 'true' Herrscher, while the other Herrschers are shadows, or fractions, of Finality.
Fortunately, not all Herrschers are against humanity, as in rare cases they can conquer the will of the Herrscher inside them that is making them succumb to their hatred against other humans, or can become allies instead. This "will" can also align with its host, like the case with Raiden Mei and the "voice" inside her head.
The Herrscher of Sentience formed in Fu Hua but instead of becoming instantly destructive like a regular Herrscher, Fu Hua's memories of more than 50,000 years diluted the Herrscher personality, making it want to fight the Honkai and resenting it for destroying everything she loves. The Herrscher of Sentience initially even assumes that it was the new and improved Fu Hua until it realised its error and went off the grid after returning Fu Hua's body.
Kiana is also mostly able to suppress Sirin and even retains her personality while fighting off Honkai and even saving people as she did in Arc City. A few people even admire her for her bravery as shown in
NOTE: Current Era Herrschers are organized in the order set up in the Previous Era, but their order of appearance in the Current Era is as follows: Herrscher of Reason, Herrscher of the Void, Herrscher of Thunder, Herrscher of Wind, Herrscher of Ice, Herrscher of Stars, Herrscher of Sentience, Herrscher of Domination, Herrscher of Corruption, Herrscher of Finality, and Herrscher of Death. ]
Caelus wanted to grab his non exgistion head. "What the hell dum it down"
The System processed Caelus's request and then displayed a simplified explanation.
[ In short, Caelus, a Herrscher is like a superpowered being created by an ancient force called the Honkai, which wants to destroy humanity. Each Herrscher is formed out of someone's negative emotions and has a special core inside them that gives them incredible powers, like controlling elements, summoning monsters, and even bending reality. They're usually meant to fight against humanity, but a few rare Herrschers manage to break free from the Honkai's control and can actually help humans instead. Each Herrscher has unique powers, and there's a specific order to them based on past events.
If you become a Herrscher, you'll get powers beyond any human's, but the Honkai will try to control you. You'll have to fight it off if you want to keep your mind intact. Think of it as gaining powers but with a constant battle to keep control. ]
Caelus nodded slowly, still absorbing everything. "So... I get crazy powers but have to keep my mind in check or lose it all to this 'Honkai' thing? Noted. Anything else I need to know?"
[ Yes. You will also need to understand how to use your Core wisely. The path of a Herrscher can be one of destruction or salvation, depending on your choices. ]
Caelus took a deep breath. "Alright, looks like I have my work cut out for me."
