Divine Error

*NOTES*

This is certified cringe, and I'm just realizing this now. I don't know what 16-year-old me was thinking, but it's too late to turn back now. No proofreading, we're going in raw. I'm still learning how to post on Tumblr, also I'm quitting fashion school.

*CHAPTER 2 : Marked as a Pretender*

"Wait a minute-"

"You fake! How dare you try to impersonate me?!"

Before you could even defend yourself, all the knights, including the Acting Grand Master herself, were after you.

This is what your bad feeling was trying to tell you, warning you of what's going to happen, and you immediately regret not trusting your instinct. Fortunately, your body reacts to the situation much faster than your mind, and you start running for the exit.

Fortunately, you were still near the entrance, you didn’t dare to look back as you quickly pushed the people out of your way and sprinted out of the Cathedral. But it didn’t take them long to be on your tail again.

Somehow, you’re lucky enough to manage to get out of the city with a few grazes, but it didn’t seem like they were going to give up anytime soon, as they continue to chase you.

You barely managed to dodge the arrows before you suddenly slipped and fell into a hole. Instantly taking advantage of the condition, you curled yourself into a ball, trying to make yourself less visible to them. As you heard them coming, you prayed to any god out there, hoping they wouldn’t find you.

Fortunately, your prayers were answered, and you heard them run past your hiding spot, unaware of your presence there.

You let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding, trying to calm down your rapidly beating heart. You tried looking for a wound on your arm that was grazed by the arrows earlier, but to your surprise, there was no wound mark anywhere. Although your sleeve had a slight tear, there was no sign of bleeding anywhere. Which you find odd, but you quickly brush it aside for now, trying to focus on getting out without being seen by them.

After some attempt, you finally managed to climb out of the hole and quietly scan the area. Just a few blocks from here, there were a few hilichurl camps and a domain in the opposite direction.

“There’s no point in me getting isekai’d here if I’m the imposter…”

You tried to make up a plan as fast as you could. Walking around while you’re wanted in broad daylight will be a problem, but sitting in that hole all day was definitely not an option for you.

After giving some thought, you decided to go to the neighbouring region, Liyue. Getting to Inazuma from Mondstadt would be difficult, especially when you don’t have a boat.

Getting to the border wasn’t an easy task. Everywhere you go, there are knights all over the place. But luckily for you, you’ve been playing Genshin for years now, so it was easy for you to tell their next move and avoid their blind spots.

After a lot of hiding and almost getting caught because you’re smart enough to try that sneaky roll move. But you successfully passed all the guards and made it out of Mondstadt ground.

There weren’t a lot of people near Stone Gate, but just to be safe, you kept hiding in the shadows, trying to keep a low profile, and you tried to come up with another plan.

You wander halfway to Dihua Marsh, and your stomach decides to give you another thing to worry about. Your stomach growled as if it hadn’t been fed for days. The last time you ate was when you were grinding on Genshin before falling asleep, and that was hours ago.

Seeing there were no possibilities of the knights looking for you in Liyue, you decided to risk it and look around for something to eat.

You were sure there was supposed to be some sunsettia nearby, but oddly enough, there was none.

“I’m so hungry… What else can I eat here?”

Right when you were contemplating eating a slime, you stumbled upon a hilichurl camp ahead of you. Remembering that some camps have some fruits, you carefully approach the camp. If you had elemental vision, you could probably take out the hilichurls easily. But sadly, you have no powers or combat skills.

But the thought of the hilichurls might attack you still linger in your mind. In the story, the mobs wouldn’t attack the Creator. But you were convinced you were the impostor in this story.

Your stomach suddenly twists in pain from being starved too long. Being aware that there was nothing else around you, you continued to make your way to the back of their camp.

You observed them for a moment, trying to understand their body language and pattern. Some were dancing, and some were sleeping. It was the perfect opportunity for you to raid their stuff.

Just as you were about to make your move, you unexpectedly feel a presence behind you. Fearing what you thought it was, you slowly turn around, and you somehow feel your soul leave your body.

Behind you was a hilichurl, just staring at you and not doing anything, which made you even more anxious, and you mentally prepared yourself to get rocks thrown at you.

But it didn’t move at all, it was just staring at you, as if waiting for you to do something.

At this moment, you regretted not paying attention to that Hilichurl guidebook.

You slowly raise your hand and wave at it as if you’re greeting it. A few seconds later, the hilichurl copied your move, bringing its hand up and waving at you back. And this left you speechless. Did you just discover a way to communicate with the hilichurls without talking?

Then an idea suddenly pops up, and you put your hand on your stomach, as if trying to say that you were looking for some food.

But to your dismay, the hilichurl just left.

You let out a sigh. Of course, the hilichurls couldn’t just understand your based on just movements. Just as you was about to give up, the hilichurl returned with a bunch of fruits in its hands.

In an instant, you thank the hilichurl and take one of the apples from it, savouring its sweet taste.

After parting ways with the hilichurl, you blindly continue your journey.

Even though you were currently being hunted down, you couldn’t help but enjoy the beautiful scenery. You closed your eyes, letting the warmth of the midday sun settle on your skin. For a moment, you let go of everything. No footsteps behind you, no weight on your shoulders. Just the soft rustle of grass in the breeze, the distant chirping of birds, and the quiet stillness of a world at peace.

All of a sudden, you hit your head hard into a pole. Stumbling back in pain, you rubbed your head where the impact was. You’re sure that it was going to leave a bump.

But as you look up, you notice your surroundings and find yourself standing in front of a familiar-looking inn.

“This could be the best or worst place to be at right now.”

You decided to approach the place, half expecting to get chased out again. But to your surprise, people were happily greeting you. Just when you thought the knights had already informed the whole Teyvat about you. Liyue seems to be uninformed about the matter.

You awkwardly greet them back as you make your way up using the elevator.

Just like in the game, Soraya was still in her usual spot. But right after she sees your figure, she immediately bows down to you.

“Your Grace, what a surprise to see you here. I thought you were celebrating your arrival in Mondstadt.” You could practically hear the shakiness in her voice. You couldn’t help but wonder if she was scared of the Creator, or is the Creator that intimidating.

Whatever the case was, you are not someone people should be bowing to. You’re just another teenager who plays games in their room all day. Definitely not the right person to bow down to.

You grab her arm in an attempt to make her stand.

“I’m just stopping by.. Seeing how things are going here.”

The chances of her believing your obvious lie were slim. She’s a scholar, of course, she can detect any lie on the spot. But if she does know that you’re a fakie, you could always try and jump off the balcony.

Your characters barely took damage, you’ll be fine.

“You really mustn’t worry yourself over this, Your Grace. Things are going well here.”

You let out a sigh of relief. You didn’t know how you managed to get away with that, but you’re not complaining.

You quickly nodded and excused yourself, continuing your way to meet a certain boss lady.

Once you made your way up, Verr was just as shocked as everyone else upon seeing you.

“Your Grace, what brings you here?”

Honestly, you weren’t sure why you even came up here.

“Verr, did you uh, receive any letter or something…? You managed to mumble out.

You were sure that if the knights were on a hunt for an imposter, they would inform the other region as soon as possible.

“A letter? No, I don’t think so.”

Well, at least that’s some good news for once.

‘I should probably go somewhere else before they realize-‘

Your thoughts came to an abrupt halt as a delicious aroma caught your attention. And your reaction didn’t go unnoticed by Verr.

“Your Grace, perhaps I could offer you something to eat before you leave? The kitchen has already prepared some Jade Parcels and Almond Tofu.”

If the circumstances were different, you’d be happy to accept her offer. Trying out cuisines from different nations has always been a dream of yours ever since you started playing the game. Alas, right now was not the perfect time to do so.

“That’s kind of you to offer, Verr. But I have to leave soon.”

You politely decline her offer. But she kept insisting, saying ‘it would be an honor to have Their Grace dine at their inn’. 

Seeing how persistent she was, you gradually accepted her kind offer. Happy with your decision, she led you to one of the empty tables before leaving to get your meals.

While you were looking forward to a nice, delicious meal, the people of Mondstadt were facing your copy’s wrath.

Divine Error

So uh, I'm just putting my old fic from AO3 here

*SUMMARY*

While grinding for some materials for your favorite character, you doze off, only to wake up inside the game world itself. Confused and stranded in a digital landscape, you now have to navigate the mechanics and dangers of a place you once controlled from behind a screen.

*NOTES*

the summary sucks i know, this is my first SAGAU fic I wrote for fun in high school. I'm just posting this bc I wanted to test whether the AO3 curse is real or not (which I hope it's real)

*CHAPTER 1 : The Shift*

“Their Grace is here!”

Amber shouted through the halls inside the Knights of Favonius Headquarters. Jean and the other knights waste no time preparing for your arrival.

Meanwhile, you find yourself at a Teleport Waypoint.

How you get teleported to your favourite game was a mystery. You last remember teleporting to a waypoint to do your weekly boss fight. But somehow, the loading screen was taking forever to load, and you fell asleep.

“This is probably just a dream. Although everything looks so…” You scan your surroundings, admiring it until your eyes land on a familiar group of cryo slimes. Panicked, you slowly back away from them, but they notice your subtle movement anyway. Before you could make your escape, you realized that they weren’t chasing after you, nor attacking you. They simply pay no mind to you, and you quickly use the opportunity to get away.

After some exploring, you make your way to a certain Winery since it’s the nearest place you were spawned at. On your way, crystalflies would sometimes gather around you, some would even stay on your head, and you couldn’t help but wonder why they would approach you. But you couldn’t complain since this was the first time, they would willingly come to you.

You finally arrived at the Winery, and to your surprise, all the people who would stand around here were nowhere to be seen. But you pay no mind to this and make your way to the front door. Before knocking, you realized you didn’t have any plans, you just started walking without really thinking much, and now you’re contemplating whether you should even knock or not.

‘It’s Diluc, you talked to him like a million times already.’

‘Technically, you didn’t talk to him, it was the traveller.’

‘Okay, fine. But if I just tell him what happened…’

‘He’s going to think you’re crazy.’

In the middle of your overthinking, the door suddenly swung open, revealing the red-haired man himself.

Upon landing his eyes on you, he looked as surprised as you are. But all of a sudden, he immediately bows down to you.

“Your Grace, how may I assist you?”

“Huh..?”

You panicked and quickly made him stand up, which he easily obeyed. That’s when you suddenly realize that he called you ‘Your Grace’ and you feel like screaming.

‘Is this seriously SAGAU?’

Meanwhile, Diluc stepped aside, insisted that you come in, which you hesitantly did. And you were immediately greeted by a shocked Adelinde, who almost lost her grip on the basket she was holding.

You awkwardly gave her a little wave before following Diluc to the living room.

“Adelinde, could you prepare a drink for Their Grace?”

Meanwhile, in Mondstadt, everyone was gathered at the Cathedral, celebrating their Creator’s arrival.

“Your Grace, can you tell us more about your adventures?” Asked by one of their acolytes, and soon more joined.

“Ugh, can’t you see I’m trying to enjoy my party here? Go bother someone else.”

They were instantly stunned by Their Grace’s response. Nonetheless, they quickly apologized for bothering them.

Suddenly, they felt a slight tug, and they glanced down and saw Klee holding out her specially-made bombs. But Their Grace just scoffed at the sight.

“Don’t talk to me so casually, and get that thing away from me.” They pushed her hands away, dismissing her gift.

The room went silent in an instant, and everyone stopped what they were doing. Their eyes widened when they heard those words coming out of Their Grace’s mouth.

Once they take in what they had just said, they quickly turn back to Klee. “Of course, I was only joking. We can go blast some fish someday, alright?”

The fake smile on their face effortlessly managed to fool those around them, and they all easily believed Their Grace’s words.

Back at the winery, you sat down on the couch anxiously as Adelinde served you some grape juice. You give her a quiet thank you before taking a sip of the juice.

While you were enjoying your drink, you noticed Diluc kept standing in front of you as if waiting for your orders. And this made you feel a little uneasy, so you patted the seat next to you, signalling him to sit down as well, which he reluctantly followed.

As you briefly glanced outside, you remembered that he looked like he was just about to head somewhere before he bumped into you.

“…Were you heading somewhere?” You managed to ask.

“Yes, I received a message to go to the Cathedral to attend to, well, celebrate your arrival.” He then hands you a letter, and you thoroughly scan it. And sure enough, there was a Knights of Favonius crest on the letter, which proves that it was real.

“A celebration? Just because I’m here?” You mumbled, trying to grasp what was happening.

“Wait, if they are holding a celebration for me, I should probably be there then...”

With that, you hurriedly down all the grape juice and quickly walk out. Diluc immediately rushed to follow you.

On your way to Mondstadt, you couldn’t help but keep getting this bad feeling. Every time you tried to brush off the feeling, it kept coming back. From all the SAGAU you’ve read, all of them just end with the player getting executed, and now you've started to fear for your life.

The sound of you slapping yourself back to reality caught Diluc off guard, and he immediately checked up on you. You reassure him it was nothing, and both of you continue making your way towards the city.

You both finally arrived at the front gate of Mondstadt, but you found the place in the same condition as you first arrived at Dawn Winery earlier. It was eerily empty. No guards guarding the gate, no people walking around, even Katheryne wasn’t in her usual spot.

“Everyone is most likely at the Cathedral by now.” As if he read your mind, he reassures you and leads you to where the celebration was held.

It was quite a walk, but you finally found yourself standing in front of the Cathedral. As soon as your fingertip touches the handle, you could feel your anxiety growing, screaming at you not to open the door.

Diluc, sharp as always, noticed your hesitancy.

“Your Grace, is everything alright?”

His voice managed to snap you back to reality, and you quickly composed yourself. You take a deep breath in an attempt to calm down.

“Mhm, everything’s fine.”

With that, you push the door open, and somehow, everyone in Mondstadt is here. As you walked in, one by one, people started to notice you, and soon, all eyes were on you.

Confused stares and whispers immediately filled the room, and before anyone could say anything, a voice, similar to yours, broke the whispers.

"What are you people standing still f-"

Standing in front of you was... you? It was like looking into a mirror. They're the same replica as you.

More gasps and whispers can be heard in the room, but you pay no mind to them. All of your attention was on your copy, or was it the other way around...

When a voice spoke, it was when you finally grasped the situation you're in.

"Seize them!"
