The land of Teyvat is filled with many wondrous places, from the icy winds of Snezhnaya, to the windy fields in Mondstadt. From the highest mountains in Liyue, all the way down to the caverns that hide beneath this lands wonderful terrain.

There are so many places to go to, so many flowers to find, so many enemies to fight, it would be a waste to not explore everything this world has to offer, no ?

These were the thoughts of a novice adventurer from Mondstadt, dead set on discovering every little secret Teyvat has to offer. Although they knew how big of a task it was that they were taking on, they still would not let fear and worry trample all over their dreams.

This is a story about Y/N, how this adventurer was able to scale the tallest mountain in Liyue and traverse the deepest of caves in Sumeru. And how I...... never mind that, I'm sure you're excited to hear about Y/N's adventures aren't you ? Well then let's begin !

"Thanks for the ride !" I wave off to the friendly merchants who let me ride their cart from Dawn Winery all the way to Stone Gate.

What nice people they are. I smile to myself thinking of the stories me and some of the merchants shared in that cart.

"Welp, better get going ! Teyvat isn't going to explore itself." And with that I run off.

I walk around Stone Gate for awhile asking for directions from the people around and thankfully, one of them gave me an updated map of Liyue. I thank the person who gave me the map and I'm on my way.

"All right so to the east of here should be Qingce Village...... but straight ahead is..... Wangshu Inn !"

Thank Barbatos there's a place to stay nearby ! The sun was about to go down and I needed somewhere to spend the night if i didn't want my tent ripped up by hilichurls like last time....

I kill a few boars and cooked myself a bit of steak before I set off to Wangshu Inn !

"Welcome to the Wangshu Inn ! How May I— oh my ! What happened to you ? Are you hurt ?" Asked Verr Goldet, the owner of Wangshu Inn

"I'm.... fine.... can I have some food ? And a place to stay ?"

"Oh of course ! Talk to Smiley Yanxiao and go grab a bite to eat and then come back to me so I can take you to your room."

"Actually, can I take a shower first ?"

"Ah yes right this way."

Verr Goldet led Y/N to the showers while Smiley Yanxiao started making Y/N's meal.

You may be wondering, what happened to Y/N that made them that tired and disheveled, well right before they reached Wangshu Inn, they took a quick look at the umbrellas by the bridge to admire them when suddenly. A group of slimes showed up and attacked Y/N.

Y/N isn't exactly weak but the sudden appearance of slimes took them aback and so, the battle ended but not without Y/N nearly dying from shock. But a chest did appear after the slimes were slain so I suppose there is a silver lining...

I step out of the shower, drying my hair off to find a nice pair of clothes by the door, I put them on and walked to the entrance of Wangshu Inn to talk to Verr Goldet.

"I forgot to ask before but how much is it for 2 nights and food ?" I ask, worried since I'm not exactly rich......

"Ah well you were attacked by slimes while inside the land owned by Wangshu Inn so I can give you a discount on your 2 night stay and 2 free meals daily as an apology. It should add up to around 10 thousand mora. Is that within your price range ?"

"Really ? Thank you so much ! And yes my funds should be able to cover it." I sigh in relief.

"It is our pleasure." Verr Goldet smiles at me "Now go down to the kitchen, Smiley Yanxiao should be finished making you your Golden Crab soon."

I nod and walk down to the kitchen to see a gorgeous plate of Golden Crab on the table. "Eat up, kid, oh and your room is upstairs in case Verr hasn't already told you." says Smiley Yanxiao.

I thank him and dig in to the food.

It's delicious ! I've never had anything this good before. I finish quickly and go up to my room but before I can enter, I catch a glimpse of a person by the balcony.

I blink for a second and they're gone. I shake my head thinking I'm just seeing things, I am quite tired from all the action today. I sigh and open my eyes to see that person in front of me.

I jump back from shock while the person just...... stares at me ?

"Uh, nice to meet you ?" I extend my hand hoping for a hand shake but instead the person just stares at my hand.

"Who are you ?"

"I-I'm an adventurer staying here at Wangshu Inn, ah pardon me I haven't told you my name yet, I'm Y/N from Mondstadt. What's yours ?"

The person looks down and says "Humans.. what strange creatures. So willing to share private information with random people." He takes my hand and shakes it. "Xiao."

Xiao huh... what a cool name. "Nice to meet you Xiao ! If you don't mind me asking what brings you to...... ah. He's gone."

I wonder what's up with that guy... I should ask Verr about him tomorrow. But for now I need sleep.

I walk into my room and jump into my bed and very quickly drift off into sleep.
