ALL NOVEL Chapter 3: The Journey Begins!
Wende felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a surge of strange, unknown power coursing through his body, making him feel tingly all over, like he had just undergone electrotherapy.
It seems like the system had replicated his character data onto his actual body.
Looking at his hands, which felt unusually light, Wende sensed a vibrant, life-filled power within him.
“So this is… the power of a pathstrider?”
Wende murmured, observing arcs jumping around his hands.
A few minutes later, as time resumed under the system’s control, everyone on the train returned to their previous state, oblivious to the time pause.
Through the carriage’s window, Wende watched as the train slowly pulled into an empty platform, feeling a sense of strangeness deep within him.
He... had truly entered the world of Star Rail... and gained the power of “Abundance.”
“Dear passengers, we have arrived at the Herta Space Station! The train will dock here for a week. Passengers may disembark and move around freely!”
In the lobby, March 7th had already been waiting at the train exit, ready to jump out on a moment's notice!
“I still have some matters to handle on the express, so I won’t be getting off for now.”
Welt adjusted his glasses.
“Passenger Himeko! Here is the shopping list!”
The cute conductor handed the list to Himeko. Due to the nature of the Astral Express, Pom-Pom couldn’t leave the train directly, so shopping had to be entrusted to the passengers on board.
“Alright, Wende, come with us.”
Himeko nodded, ruffling Pom-Pom’s small head, and said to Wende, who was still adapting to the power of “Abundance.”
“Ah... Right!”
Hearing Himeko’s call, Wende snapped out of his trance and followed Himeko toward the train door.
In the train car, Welt frowned as he watched Wende leave.
“The abundance...”
Just as Wende stepped out of the train, he too frowned.
The familiar system voice reappeared and—
[Star Rail’s official release has begun!]

Reality
Countless players waiting for the Star Rail launch clicked to enter the game at ten o’clock, preparing to start their own unique “space adventure.”
Some people who couldn’t enter the game immediately due to work used their spare time or breaks to watch the “space drama” unfold through various streamers.
This time, there were no announcements blocking their entry. Although there was a 200MB update, in the era of 5G, such a small update took less than ten seconds to download and didn’t attract much attention from players.
To them, a mere 200MB update was insignificant. Entering the game as soon as possible was the key!
Little did they know, this small 200MB update could bring significant changes to their “trailblazing” journey...
