Star Railway, starting as Kiana

Starry Sky Railway, Starting as Kiana (Author: Moon Palace℃)

Kiana arrived in the world of the Star Railway because of a questionnaire.

However, there's no system, no so-called cheat code, only a jinx that's sometimes right and sometimes wrong.

"Ah, why am I not the Great Sage Qitian?" Then Kiana gained the power of the Void.

"Ah, we're heading to Arilo VI. If I turn into a duck, will Bronya be excited?" And so, Arilo Kiana transformed into a duck.

"Cocolia, actually I am your long-lost granddaughter." Kiana felt a sense of pleasure as she looked at Cocolia, whose CPU had almost burned out because of her words.

"Nonsense, foxes have long ears!" So, on that day, Tingyun's ears turned into "donkey ears" just like Yae Sakura's.

"I...."

"Shut up, don't say another word!"

"Okay, then I want to drink Mei's sister juice." Looking at Kita-Tatsumi Mei and Yomi, who both had knives to their own necks, Kiana felt what a chaotic scene was.

Chapter 1: Words that become law or a jinx?

If one day you were given the chance to become your favorite character and enter a game world you love, what would you choose?

An alarm clock rang out.

Kiana woke up groggily, rubbed her hair which had become messy from sleeping, took off her pajamas, and changed into the staff uniform of the Black Tower Space Station.

"Sigh, why is it that everyone else either gets a system or activates a cheat code to become invincible, while I only get lucky with my words?"

Despite saying that, Kiana is still very satisfied with her current life.

This all started a month ago.

That morning, since it was the weekend, there wasn't much to do.

As soon as Kiana woke up, she turned on her phone, tablet, and computer and logged into three games.

"Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai Impact 3rd, activate!"

Upon launching the game, it was discovered that red dots appeared in the announcement boards of all three games. Unsurprisingly, clicking on them revealed more surveys.

Kiana only wanted to do one thing with the survey: quickly skip the version update content, find the Abyss satisfaction survey, and fill it out—it was very simple.

Even in every Honkai Impact 3rd survey, since there's no option for Abyss satisfaction, our Kiana would even write down her own thoughts in the optional comments section.

Questionnaire content: What are your complaints about this version?

Kiana didn't even think twice before writing down the answer she had written countless times.

The Abyss and Memorial Arena are too easy. I suggest adding more phases to the bosses, such as increasing temperature and inflicting status effects! GKD!

To talk about this, we have to bring up some past events.

Once, a friend saw Kiana's gameplay and even snatched Kiana's device away, angrily saying:

"So you're the one who makes things so easy every time, huh? I'd like to see if you can max out your Abyss every single time!"

After switching to the miHoYo community account and discovering the data from Honkai Impact 3rd's Abyss of Desolation, Battlegrounds Tier 1, and Genshin Impact's solo clear record, my friend fell silent.

Iron Bomb, on the other hand, hasn't had much of an impact because it hasn't been around for very long.

However, after Kiana filled out the three questionnaires for the day, she found that a new window had appeared.

Which of miHoYo's games do you prefer right now? If you could choose one world to travel to, which world would you choose?

A. Honkai Impact 2

B. Honkai Impact 3

C. Genshin Impact

D. Honkai Impact: Star Railway

...

There are also Otome games from Old Mi's house, and Terminator Zero, but since Kiana didn't play them, the options are grayed out and can't be selected.

Looking at this option, and recalling the recent meme-filled actions of Honkai Impact 3rd, Kiana wondered if the project team was running out of memes and wanted to use a survey to find them.

But this questionnaire about time travel intentions was already overused more than a decade ago.

However, Kiana still chose D.

There's no other reason. With the end of the first 1.5 installments of Honkai Impact 3rd, her youth had vanished, and the second installment lacked the same anticipation and desire for the storyline.

As for the original?

Haha, if we could go back two years, Kiana would definitely choose that path, but working every day and being a complainer is nothing compared to playing with memes all the time!

After clicking submit, a new window popped up.

If you could travel through time, who would you want to be?

Below is a list of all the characters in Mijia games, including various NPCs and characters that only exist in other people's conversations.

Kiana flipped for several minutes before sliding to the bottom, and then slid back to the top.

Without hesitation, she clicked on Kiana and Kaslana's names and selected submit.

After all, Kiana initially got into Mijia games because a classmate said there was a game with the exact same name as hers, so if she really time-traveled, she would definitely become the super cute Kiana.

The surname "Qi" is not found in the Hundred Family Surnames; there's no need to delve into it. The author is terrible at naming.

Please enter your nickname. Do not use your real name or in-game name; your nickname will become your identifier.

Seeing this, Kiana understood.

"Oh, so that's the purpose of all this. There aren't enough names for the NPCs, and they also need code names. The developers are directly borrowing the players' ideas."

However, if you really need to use the game, then I'll have to step in!

As the tapping stopped, the questionnaire was completed.

As for the final question, Kiana's answer was "Chizha Yuehai Yuyu Mao" (叱咕月海鱼鱼猫).

"Hilarious! If you've got the guts, go ahead and use that nickname. I'd respect you as a man! If there wasn't only one option, I'd definitely give you something like 'Blooming Prosperity Grilled Duck,' 'Brick King Recognizes the Emperor,' 'Horse Breaks the Sky,' 'Dumb Goose,' or 'Island Explosion,' or something like that!"

However, after filling out the form, the message that appeared was not the one that usually appears.

Thank you for your answer.

Instead, it's a voice prompt.

"Well then, Miss Chizha Yuehai Yuyu Cat, may you accompany me on the journey ahead."

Hey? Old Mi really put his heart into this. This Easter egg is pretty good. I would have recorded the voiceover if I had known there was one.

Then Kiana felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Kiana felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

In the last moments before my consciousness faded, I thought it was because I had stayed up too late and was about to die suddenly from excitement.

"Ah, if I could really travel through time, I hope I could become Estella's dog! Being a rich woman's dog is easier than working a regular job."

"Wait, Estella already has Pepe, so I guess I'll just stay a cat."

When Kiana woke up again, she found herself being held in Estádio's arms.

"Oh, I really have turned into a cat."

Just as Kiana was thinking this, she realized that her perspective had changed drastically.

If you had a god's-eye view, you would see that the white cat that was originally being held in Estella's arms suddenly grew bigger and then pinned her to the bed.

After the explanation, Kiana finally understood what was going on.

"You mean, I'm a gift from the Black Tower?"

"Yes. Lady Black Tower said that since I like pets, she found you on a dying planet and brought you here."

Estella blushed. For some reason, when she looked at Kiana, who was also a woman, she felt that Kiana was as handsome as a prince or knight from a novel she had read.

However, because Kiana's situation was special, Estella contacted her teacher, Black Tower, after speaking with Kiana.

The Black Tower was also very interested in Kiana, and after a series of examinations and experiments, they discovered Kiana's special qualities.

In Black Tower's words:

"To put it nicely, you almost have the ability to make your words come true; to put it bluntly, your ability is an uncontrollable jinx."

Chapter 2 Stop Napping

After a month, Black Tower also lost the desire to explore Kiana's abilities.

In her opinion, Kiana's gift might be a gift from some fun-loving star god, after all, the other party had done such things before.

Only Kiana knew that her abilities might be related to the email she filled out before she traveled through time.

However, Kiana's abilities are truly uncontrollable, lacking the invincible power of a fantasy world where words can come true and pronouncements can become law.

In most cases, it's more like a jinx.

For example, I once saw a staff member with severe dark circles under his eyes, and Kiana complained, "Be careful, you're staying up all night, you're almost turning into a panda."

As it turned out, the other person really did turn into a panda, but thankfully it only lasted for five minutes.

Such blunders have happened quite a few times, but there are exceptions, such as when Kiana first tested it and, without thinking, blurted out:

"Ah, since I am also Kiana, I am not the Great Sage Kiana, but I still have the strength of a Herrscher, right?"

What started as a joke turned out to be true. In those five minutes, Kiana gained the full power of the Herrscher of the Void, and the full combat power of the six-core pufferfish during World War II.

Unfortunately, Kiana didn't get to experience it for long; she only summoned three Void Spears before the effect wore off.

The good news is that some of this acquired power will remain, albeit very little.

Kiana currently only possesses a very small portion of the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, and can only function as a storage space. Even when she uses her full power, she can only summon a Void Spear.

Another passive ability is that it increases the favorability of those around her, but this was mentioned during the Black Tower's test, and to be honest, Kiana didn't feel anything.

Perhaps some of her previous jokes have come true, or perhaps this ability already existed when she filled out the questionnaire; Kiana has no idea.

"However, the results of the questionnaire have all come true. My current state is roughly the same as Kiana's when she first joined St. Freya Academy. But I must say, the Kaslana family bloodline is truly powerful."

Kiana opened the door and started wandering around the space station.

Perhaps because of her affinity with Estádio and the Black Tower, they treated her quite well.

Okay, never mind what I said about the Black Tower.

Kiana's life now is the life that countless people dream of. Every morning she gets up, has breakfast, goes out for a stroll, and spends the rest of her time doing whatever she wants.

Estella also gave Kiana a high-level access card, allowing Kiana to go anywhere except for certain areas of the Black Tower experiments.

Kiana doesn't need to worry about money, since her nominal guardian is Estádio. She might lack other things, but she certainly doesn't lack money.

If Kiana hadn't strongly objected, Estella would probably have bought Kiana a planet to live on out of her own pocket.

Kiana, why are you up so late again?

When Kiana arrived at the main control module, Estella glared at her angrily, expressing her displeasure at Kiana for not having eaten breakfast.

"Well, the main problem is that the food provided to the staff is really hard to describe. Besides, we bought a lot of bread beforehand."

Thinking of the cafeteria food, Estella's anger immediately subsided by half.

Although for the researchers here, food is merely a way to replenish energy so that they can continue their experiments, not to mention Kiana, who has enjoyed the delicacies of Earth, even Estádio doesn't particularly like it.

"never mind."

Estella shook her head, which meant she let Kiana go.

Kiana thought that Estella's purpose in calling her had ended there, but just as she was about to turn around and leave to go to the greenhouse at the end of the confinement warehouse to check on the cultivated green value,

Estella tugged at Kiana's hem again.

"what happened?"

"Have you forgotten that Lady Black Tower's new collection is arriving today, and the train crew is also coming? Didn't you say you didn't want to just laze around at Black Tower Space Station or work for Interstellar Peace Corporation? What, now that the Star Train is here, aren't you going to meet the crew members?"

It was only when Estella mentioned this that Kiana remembered it.

I never imagined that a casual remark I made back then would be remembered by Estella to this day.
