Chapter 7: Watching the Trailer for Honkai Impact 3rd
{Hello guys, Author here~ just saying this now. The game created by Morgan will be slightly different from the one we know and love. If you want copy pasted content, there are other fanfics for that. For this one, i want to make it as if Honkai Impact 3rd have a higher budget and passion than our world version, that's why there's a difference and i don't like how they disrespected my girl Wendy TwT. Anyway, to the chapter!}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within the internet, there are many who holds influence, whether it be celebrities like Eden or Internet sleuths, yet there's no denying that the one who holds the highest authority on the internet are influencers and content creators, one of them is literally breaking her keyboard in fury.
"AAAAHHH THIS STUPID GREEDY GAME!!" BANG BANG BANG BANG
It was a famous streamer, one of the most watched in the world with millions of subscribers that got famous not only because she is an actual girl gamer, but because of her funny and expressive reactions (mostly raging). Her username, MagicalGirlGamer or most fondly called as Miss Pufferfish because of her expressive reactions when playing games.
{"Whoever recommended this game is evil lol"}
{"Miss Pufferfish, try again! i won't stop donating until you finished the game!"
{"Here's to buy her a new keyboard because she deserved a better one"}
{"Maybe keyboard made out of tungsten so it won't break when she slammed it against a wall"}
"Aaaah! chat, shut up! i won't listen to you guys anymore! Hmph! i'm looking for a different game!"
{"Boo~!"}
{"Come on, just one more game!!"}
Sirin rolled her eyes and leaned back, she genuinely got angry from playing the game recommended to her by the chats, her messy purple hair glanced to the side. "Silly Sister, get me a Cola!"
Kiana who is just minding her own business and lazing around on their bed sat up, going to the kitchen and tossed her a bottled water instead. "Here!"
"Hey, didn't i ask for a Cola?!"
"You always drink Cola, mom told me to give you water whenever you ask for Cola"
"Hmph! whatever..." Sirin proceed to drink the bottled water anyway simply because she's too lazy to argue or walk to the fridge. She leaned back to her stream and begin scrolling the chat, of course interacting with her community while taking a break from gaming. That was until she sees someone posted a link on her chatroom.
{"Miss Pufferfish, check out this video game trailer. It's totally insane (Link Here)"}
"What's this, a new video game?"
{"Never heard of Honkai Impact 3rd before, must be some indie game right?"}
{"Looks like it's made by some company called Mihoyo, never heard of it before"}
"Bah! some indie game made by unknown company, it's probably nothing great right? What kind of name is Mihoyo anyway?"
"Mihoyo? that's the company that Teacher Morgan owned, he said he's making a game with me as the main character!" Kiana overheard her sister talking to the chat and immediately intruded in their stream.
"Wait, seriously? my silly sister is the main character? no way..." Sirin rolled her eyes, not believing for a second that their idiot sister would be chosen as a character in a game. But, she is still curious about this game that Kiana's teacher created, if its good or not.
Sirin clicked on the link and watched the trailer video in front of thousands of people.
The video started with the ultimate devastation caused by Honkai in a city, buildings destroyed and Honkai Beasts roamed the streets, killing innocents, this trailer doesn't hold back on the graphic depiction. Morgan made sure to have people understand how much of a threat Honkai is, that's why he made this decision.
{"Whoa, this is way too detailed for a trailer..."}
{"Seriously, isn't this just a mobile game?"}
{"Maybe only the trailer is flashy, don't be fooled people"}
The screen faded to black, showing a few text as well as started playing a BGM in the background.
[Honkai, A Mysterious Force that has destroyed many human civilization has descended on this Beautiful World]
[Fighting on the Forefront of this war, are Valkyries]
The screen shifts into perspective, turning their attention to a falling star above the ruined city that has been broken down by Honkai, the falling star as the symbol of Hope. As it landed on the city, kicking up a cloud of smoke, Kiana came out of the cloud and begin fighting the honkai beast, all of it done in a cinematic fashion.
"Hahaha! Look at that Sister! Do i not look cool?!" Kiana is happily shaking Sirin's shoulder, bragging about her own appearance in the game.
"Damnit, Stupid sister...." Sirin pouted, why isn't he invited to be the main character of a game. She is totally jealous.
{"This trailer is really cool, a unique concept"}
{"Wait a minute, it says Real In-game Gameplay At the bottom right, this is the game play?!"}
{"No way right? nothing except a high end phone can handle gameplay like this"}
{"Wait, there's still a lot more to see, the video haven't ended yet..."}
The trailer continued, now suddenly another Valkyrie arrived out of nowhere to assist Kiana, a beautiful indigo haired girl with an elegant and polite personality, casually slicing the honkai beast around Kiana with a high speed movement.
Kiana and Mei, faced with a crowd of Honkai Beast would look up to the building beside them, where Bronya stands and started showering the horde with her artillery barrage, and guns. each one of the three being showcased and having their own unique style.
The trailed changed perspective to the three valkyries standing together after defeating all of the honkai beasts, their gaze trailed off into the distance where the cloud swirled together, the core of the honkai eruption.
[Honkai erupted in this beautiful world, led by the apostle of destruction known as the Herrschers]
In the trailer, it shows the magnificence and power of each of the herrscher, at least a small part of it. their figure and identity shrouded in shadows. the audience sees a herrscher who created a black hole in the sky, the one who manipulated space itself, those who commanded over thunder and lightning and the one who controlled the winds and weather to their very whims. Although it is only the tip of the iceberg, it lets the audience understands the power of these mysterious beings.
In a world where imagination stagnated and is less developed, these revelations and trailers brings a chill into the audience core, similar to the feeling when you watch Dragon Ball for the first time as a child.
{"Wow..."}
{"Is this really a mobile game, i got chills!!"}
{"Miss Pufferfish, play it again, i want to watch it again!"}
Sirin felt refreshed after watching that trailer, honestly she is getting frustrated and bored by games that came out recently, the only one that bothers with Innovation is Anti-Entropy. So, she eagerly excited for this Honkai Impact 3rd.
With that Trailer, Honkai Impact 3rd has generated enough hype to go global, especially after Morgan released the trailer in multiple commonly spoken languages. the marketing department of the company already working hard to promote the game.
["Congratulations Host, Beginner Mission has been Completed!"]
["Detecting more than 2000 fans value, Hidden Objective complete, assigning Bonus Reward!"]
Morgan would be extremely happy, but he can barely pay attention to the system giving him the reward for the beginner mission, because currently he is face to face with two beautiful girls smiling at him from across his desk.
One of the girls is a famous model and beauty influencer, known for her cheerful and bright personality. a well known person in the fashion and beauty community that holds the title of the most beautiful girl in the country, Elysia.
The other one is a Global Diva with wealth that rivals a small nation, golden eyes and an elegant demeanor, her voice struck the hearts of billions across the world, a true world superstar, Eden.
"..." Save me.
---------------------------------------------------------
"So, how can i help you, Miss Eden and Miss Elysia?"
He sits down, his eyes revealing a calm temperament, but this was all acting, he is actually breaking a cold sweat right now because he didn't expect to meet them this soon by just engaging with Sakura. Talking about Sakura, she seems to be just sitting quietly between the two bigshots.
"Oh? I'm just visiting the company my close friend is invited into, no harm done right?" Eden smiled while maintaining her gaze into Morgan.
"I'm just worried about Sakura, she is smart but really easy to be tricked...what if she suddenly fall for a bad man like you~"
"ELYSIA!!" Sakura blushed out of embarassment, even she didn't expect that Elysia would even drag eden here, this is completely shameless. "I'm sorry Mister Morgan, i didn't mean to offend you..."
"Bah, it's fine" Morgan waved his hand as if its not a big deal. "In fact, i think it's prove that Miss Sakura have friends that care for her, and that's quite admirable..." He maintained his cool.
"I'm glad you can understand, Mr. Morgan..." Eden politely nods, it seems she appreciates how open minded he is, at least based on their first impression. "Then, lets get back to business...Sakura, what do you think of the contract?"
After some back and forth with the three, they finally decided on an agreement, Morgan explained how he valued character more than skill, and it seems to earn him some respect among the girls, Sakura has officially become a programmer under the banner of Mihoyo.
As they finished finalizing the contract and preparing to leave, Elysia with her unpredictable and inscrutable nature suddenly started walking close to Morgan and shamelessly hugged his arm, pressing her soft chest against his arm.
"Boss Morgan, you are trying to hire Sakura but why are you not showing any interest in Ellie~" Morgan blushed immediately after being hugged all of a sudden.
"Ellie, what are you doing?!" Eden.
"Elysia, that's rude!" Sakura.
Morgan is too stunned as she stared right into Elysia's eyes, that is dazzling brightly. his face looks red as a tomato, yet suddenly, a shocking voice sounded inside his mind that immediately snapped himself out of this trance.
["Warning host! Subject Elysia is confirmed to be a Herrscher!"]
What....?
