Morning, at the outskirts of the forest near Mondstadt.
Wayne Stonewell was confronting a group of Pyro Slimes, the pyro slimes shot out a few small fireballs at Wayne.
"Pyro? I just happened to have the perfect counter" Wayne smirk as he transformed into Anastasia, she then summoned Viy as she wiped out the group of Pyro Slimes including a few Large Pyro Slimes in a single Cryo attack.
After which Anastasia ordered Viy to gather the Slime Secretions drop by the Pyro Slimes which can be sold or used in alchemy or even cooking or other various uses.
After Anastasia finished collecting the loot, she was about to leave when she heard a voice.
"Wait miss" Anastasia turned around and saw Amber who approached her.
"I'm Amber, the Outrider of the Knights of Favonius. I heard sounds of Pyro Slimes, so I came to check, but it looks like you took care of it, miss…." Amber looked at Anastasia as she asked for her name.
"Anastasia Imunlaukr" Anastasia answered, feeling no need to use a fake name while in this form, but Amber's eyes widened in surprise.
"Imunlaukr? I thought I was the last of Imunlaukr" Amber said as a smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Let me introduce myself again, My name is Amber Imunlaukr, the last descendant of the Imunlaukr clan, well not anymore since I found you miss Anastasia" Amber looked at me with affection as she felt a kinship with Anastasia.
'wait, was Amber an Imunlaukr in the game? I'm pretty sure she was not, so the simulation was real? Which means Amber's grandfather was not from Liyue but fromImunlaukr?' Anastasia thought, the simulation had indeed become real, now Teyvat history and simulation were mixed.
"Amber, my dear, I'm not a descendant of the Imunlaukr clan…, I'm the ancestor" Amber frowned at Anastasia words, thinking that she was lying to her, but before she could say anything, Anastasia summoned Viy.
"I believe you already know Viy, the fairy contacted to the Imunlaukr clan" Anastasia cold aloof face now has a warm smile.
"No way….." Amber said as she summoned Viy, which she received from her grandfather who is also an Imunlaukr.
"I know you have many questions but how about we talk along the way, I also want to see Mondstadt, the city my descendents helped built" Anastasia said and Amber agreed, the two of them then walked back to Mondstadt, along the way, Amber would ask questions while Anastasia would answer them, Anastasia answered all questions truthfully, only keeping secrets about her identity as Wayne Stonewell and the simulation system.
At the gate of the Mondstadt, Amber told the guard knights that Anastasia was her friend and an Imunlaukr, Anastasia was then allowed inside with the help of Amber.
At Amber's house, two girls sat down and Amber made tea.
"Call me Anastasia, Amber" Anastasia noticed Amber struggling on what to call her since she had never been in this situation.
"Okay Anastasia, I noticed that you tend to be cool and aloof towards strangers, then you are warm and soft to me, why is that?" Amber asked as she never experienced kinship aside from her grandpa.
"That's how I treat my family and descendants, and you are my precious last descendant" Anastasia explained as she sipped on the tea.
"Good tea, remind me of my husband's tea" Anastasia said complimenting Amber.
"I think that because the recipe was passed down to me from my grandpa who also got it from his father" Amber said impling that the recipe came from Anastasia's husband.
Anastasia then looked around the room and saw a painting, it was a painting of Amber and her grandfather.
"From the painting, I can see that your grandfather was a kind and brave man" Anastasia analyzed, already knowing her descendants are always brave, that trait will never change, no matter how many years pass.
"Yeah he was, he also painted it himself" Amber said reminiscing about her grandfather.
"Amber, you haven't completed the contract with Viy, haven't you?" Anastasia asked which surprised Amber.
"How do you know? Grandpa didn't tell me how to contract with Viy before he disappeared" Amber said sadly about the mysterious disappearance of her grandfather.
"I'm the one who contracted with Viy the longest, so naturally I know about it. How about I teach you, and help you master your powers?" Anastasia said, offering to train Amber.
"Really? You will do that? Thanks Anastasia" Amber said as she hugged Anastasia.
After spending time with Amber and teaching her for a few hours, it became lunch time.
"Oh, it's lunch time already, Anastasia, let's go to the Good Hunter restaurant, I will treat you to some delicious meals" Amber said as she held Anastasia's hand and took her to the Good Hunter.
Anastasia and Amber walked through the streets of Mondstadt, Bard's singing, people going about their daily life, Mondstadt seemed free and peaceful, after a few minutes they arrived at the Good Hunter.
"Good afternoon Amber, are you here to grab a bite? And who's your friend?" Sara, the boss of Good Hunter, greeted Amber and asked.
"Hello, Sara, this is Anastasia Imunlaukr, one of my clan members and we are here to eat" Amber greeted back and introduced Anastasia to Sara.
"What will you be having?" Sara asked as she handed them the menu.
"We will be having two Fisherman's Toast, two Chicken-Mushroom Skewer and two Berry & Mint Burst" Amber said after asking Anastasia what she wants, which Anastasia replied with anything is fine.
Amber and Anastasia sat down at a table and talked, after a few minutes the drinks and food arrived.
"This is quite delicious, thanks for treating me Amber" Anastasia said, eating a piece of Chicken-Mushroom Skewer and sipping Berry & Mint Burst.
"No problem, glad you like it" Amber said, taking a bite of Fisherman's Toast.
After Anastasia and Amber finished eating they paid for their food and went back to Amber's house.
"Amber, I want to find a job, I don't want to freeload off of you" Anastasia said sitting at a chair with Amber next to her.
"Alright, you can find a job after three days, about the food and rent during the three days just think of it as a fee you get for teaching me" Amber suggested and Anastasia nodded agreeing with her.
So just like that Anastasia spent three days at Amber house, teaching Amber how to contract Viy and how to use and control the Cryo element.
Three days later, Wayne Stonewell went to the Adventurers guild to register as a Adventurer, not as Anastasia but as Wayne Stonewell.
"Ad astra abyssosque! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild" Katheryne the Receptionist of the Adventurers' Guild greeted.
"Hi miss Katheryne, I would like to become an Adventurer" Wayne greeted and stated his purpose.
"Sure, please fill out this form and pay 500 Mora for registration fee" Katheryne responded mechanically as if she was a bionic puppet.
Wayne spent a few minutes filling the form and handed it to Katheryne and paid 500 Mora for registration fee.
"Do you have any questions? If so please ask" Katheryne said after looking at Wayne form.
"None at the moment, thank you" Wayne replied.
"Then please take this badge and card, the badge represent that you are a member of the Adventurers guild and the card shows your general information such as Adventure rank, name, etc, Please note that you are currently adventure rank 1 and if you complete enough quests and commissions, you will be able to rank up your Adventure rank, please report back to me after you complete your commissions and quests or if you complete enough quests to rank up, please let me know it you have any questions" Katheryne said continuously without stopping.
"Thanks" Wayne said as he took four daily commissions from the quest board and got to work.
The four daily commissions Wayne took were quite easy, he just needed to wipe out some Hydro Slimes and a Hilichurls camp.
Along the way Wayne decided on his fighting style, he would fight with a sword that he purchased from the blacksmith and with the Cryo element, Although as Wayne Stonewell he can't summon Viy but he can still use Cryo element and still has [Experience, memories and strength of Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova] which means he can use sword, base on the memories and experience of the simulation.
Wayne decided not to use [Snow-Tombed Starsilver] since it would link him to Anastasia.
Anastasia was not as good as her husband at swordsmanship but still decent, Although as Wayne Stonewell can use Anastasia memories and experience, but not her strength at swordsmanship.
All of this means that Wayne fighting style will be swordsmanship with Cryo element while Anastasia fighting style will be mage-like with long and mid range Cryo element attack.
Now that Wayne Stonewell and Anastasia's personality, fighting style and appearance are separated, he doesn't have to worry much.
