    Summary

    spoilers for hsr 3.3

    When it comes to predatory, soul-sucking gacha games, Cosmic Impact Rail Zero was probably the worst of the worst. Did it have incredible characters? Yes. An engaging storyline? Double yes. Did it make Mydei want to blow his entire paycheck on weapons and skins and more rolls? Of course it did.

    But it also killed off basically every character in the game, including the crown prince that shared Mydei's name– Mydeimos the Undying, Son of Gorgo. How the hell was that even possible?! He literally had undying in his title!?

    So when the developers ask for feedback, Mydei goes off on a heated tangent– and finds himself reincarnated as his namesake. You know– the doomed prince, destined for a life of hardship? Destined to die?

    Not if Mydei has anything to say about it.

    Summary


    And as the wave of rage washes over him, fierce and ever-sharp, he catches sight of it: the darkness that has been tearing him away closing all around him, suffocating him. Furious, heartbroken, he tries to scream, and as he does the lines of code choking him begin to glow the dull red of hot metal. He tears at them with his hands, ripping them away; they cling to his body like spiderwebs, growing ever brighter.

    Phainon is faintly aware of Mydei shouting, but that is happening somewhere else. Here, in the dark, he sees only one thing: a single line of blinking red code that makes his blood freeze solid.

    modified boot sequence initiated: irontomb.exe


    irontomb shatters the peace of the exotale and phainon resolves to sacrifice himself and end things permanently. mydei and the other heirs have a different outcome in mind.

    Summary

    “Ha! Not even the King of Kremnos can defeat the Great Imperator in drinks,” Cerydra crows, slurring proudly. “I shall remain the greatest, most undefeatable in history!”

    That actually gets Mydei to perk up. He sluggishly lifts his head, the movement so unsteady that Phainon’s hands shoot out to steady him by the shoulders. Mydei doesn’t even seem to notice—which is worrying. Sure, this might be an era of peace for them, but would he really let anyone touch him like this when he’s this drunk?

    “Pah! Hish—history?” Mydei fires back, the word wobbling out of his mouth so badly Phainon briefly wonders how much they’ve been drinking. “I’ll—I’ll tell you about history. It starts in Cycle Zero.”

    Wait. What.

    When Aglaea asked him to pick Mydei up after a drinking session with Cerydra, Phainon did not expect to hear Mydei recount all the different ways he has loved across 33 million cycles.

    Summary

    The future is space,
    earth-colored space,
    cloud-colored,
    color of water, air,
    black space with room for many dreams,
    white space with room for all snow,
    for all music.

    Behind lies despairing love
    with no room for a kiss.
    There's a place for everyone in forests,
    in streets, in houses;
    there's an underground space, a submarine space,
    but what joy is to find in the end,
    rising,

    an empty planet
    great stars clear as vodka,
    so uninhabited and so transparent,
    and arrive there with the first telephone
    so that so many men can later discuss
    all their infirmities.

    -Future is space, original by Pablo Neruda.

    Phainon leaves Amphoreus seeking a new path. A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs (plus Stelle and Dan Heng) follow him.

    This triggers a chain reaction of surprising friendships, unlikely alliances and lots of adventures.
