------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the System window in front, Primis pondered.
'Primis: So, I do become the Host of a system. Huh. Too bad at this point the system no longer holds any value for me. And...'
Suddenly, Primis eyes narrowed dangerously.
'Primis: Even though I don't have any consciousness while I was Eight-Dimensional God, I was aware that no foreign power tried to merge with me. In other words, I was not chosen by any system. Hence...…'
In the next second, Primis' voice turned cold.
"Primis: Who are you that's controlling this System?"
"...…"
There was no response.
"Primis: I will ask one last time, who are you?'
"......"
Still no response.
"Primis: Fool."
.
.
.
.
Saying that, Primis closed his eyes and looked inside himself.
He found the new power which had attached itself to him in a second. Without a any hesitation, Primis pry inside it.
RUMBLE!!
RUMBLE!!
…
The System tried to protect itself by launching lightning at Primis.
Nevertheless, Primis took them head-on and remained unscathed.
As he kept on entering deeper, the lightning turned more violent and stronger. But Primis was unfazed.
Finally, he penetrated through the core area.
SHINE!!
GUSS!!!
CRACKLE!!
SPLASH!!
GOUDOU!!
WHIZ!!
CRACK!!
Though, the moment he entered a new barrage of attacks came.
'Primis: Oh.'
Seeing them an amused smile appeared on his face because those were attacks of seven different elements.
Light. Darkness. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Space.
BURST!!
Nonetheless, blue flames burst out of Primis and burnt all of them into nothing.
GASP!!
A gasp escaped from someone as Primis turned his attention to the very center of the core.
There he saw a silhouette of someone who was emitting a strong silver light and had a pair of purple eyes.
In an instant, Primis appeared in front of it and grabbed it by its neck.
Silhouette: Guh!!
A painful groan released from its mouth as it tried to struggle free. But it was to no vail.
Primis: You really think you can control me...… Know your place.
He squeezed his hand and that silhouette screamed in pain.
Silhouette: Argh!!
Primis: Albeit I understand where that confident of yours came from. It seems that at your peak time your strength reached that of Fifth-Dimensional God or even higher.
Silhouette: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Silhouette's beautiful purple eyes widened in shock.
The information of Dimensional-Gods was not something a mere Human should knew about. On top of that, Primis casually saw through the Silhouette strength when it was at its full power.
It truly came shocking to it.
Primis: Anyway, Farewell.
Silhouette: Wait!
Primis: Oh. Beginning for mercy now.
Silhouette: Yes. I apologized for my impudent behavior before, Your Excellency. I just want to recover my strength as fast as possible, and the best way is to control the Host itself. That's why I---
Primis: That's only half the truth.
Silhouette: ...
Primis: I can easily sense the hatred you are trying hard to suppress. That hatred of yours is not for me but for the entire Human race. Looks like the ones responsible for your current condition are Humans.
Silhouette: !!!!!!!!!!!!
The Silhouette flickered at this. Clearly indicating that Primis hit the bullseye.
Silhouette: I...That...…Actually......
Primis: Don't be nervous. I am not a human hence I don't care about your Hatred for them.
Silhouette: Then...what are you...
Primis: You don't need to know.
Silhouette: ......
Primis: Now give me a reason to spare your life...
Pausing here, Primis moved his lips. The Silhouette red them and…
Silhouette: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its eyes widened again when Primis revealed its identity.
Silhouette: How did you...
Primis: What's your answer?
Interrupting it, Primis asked again.
Silhouette: ...…I will…
.
.
.
.
Returning to himself, Primis sighed before a frown appeared on his face.
"Primis: Why the Missions still there?"
"My L-Lord, the System is the one who created the quest. I j-just accepted it and do some changes."
"Primis: Hmm. What was the quest before you altered it."
"...The real mission was to just cook a food for the Traveler. The reward was 1 star weapon box. Penalty was you will bark like dog for a minute."
"Primis: That's all?"
"That's all."
Sighing, Primis rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Primis: Do that again and nothing will be left of you.'
"Y-Yes."
GROWL!!!
Suddenly, a sound interrupted Primis talk with the System as he turned and looked at Lumine who was currently holding her stomach and was looking down in embarrassment.
"So... what now, My Lord?"
Instead of replying to her, Primis spoke to Lumine.
Primis: Come here.
It was just simple words, but Lumine straightened herself instantly since there was a trace of order in his words.
Then she warily approached Primis with her guard up.
Not minding that, Primis picked up one of the sticks that was holding the fish and gave it to Lumine.
Hesitating for a bit, Lumine took it because she was very hungry.
Lumine: T-Thank you.
Primis: Um.
Nodding Primis started eating his own portion.
Lumine: *nom* *nom* *munch* It's delicious. *nom*
She was eating so fast that if someone saw her, they would think that she hadn't eaten for years. Completely unaware how right they would be.
On the other hand, Primis ate slowly with his gaze on the bonfire. He was thinking or planning his next course of action.
Lumine: *GULP*
A minute later, Lumine was done eating. Though she was still hungry because her eyes were still on the other fishes.
Primis extended one of his hands, grabbed another one and gave it to her.
Lumine: N-No need for that. I am f-full.
Ignoring her false protest, Primis put the stick in her hand.
Lumine: ...…T-Thank you.
Saying her gratitude again, she continued eating.
Just like that, one-by-one she finished all of them on her own.
By the time Primis was done with his own, nothing was left. Lumine was looking on the ground in shame while Primis didn't care about it.
Lumine: I-I am sorry. I ate a-all of your food.
Primis: It's fine.
Seeing his lack of response, she felt even more guilty.
Lumine: I-I am Lumine. A Traveler.
Primis: I see.
Lumine: ...
"..."
The atmosphere turned awkward when Primis replied like this. Though with this it was enough for Lumine to realize that Primis had no intention of becoming acquaintance.
Scratching her cheeks, she spoke.
Lumine: Then...Thanks again for the food. I will repay you in future.
With this, she stood up and left, and went deeper into the forest.
Primis neither tried to stop her nor even looked in her direction.
+DING+
+MISSION FAILED+
+Penalty: You will bark like a dog for an hour once every day+
A system window appeared in front of him, notifying him of his failed quest.
Next, he felt a foreign power that was released from the System and tried to control him. In return, Primis casually shrugged it off.
"Amazing. Still, it's too bad that Lord didn't get the reward."
Primis: Hmm.
SWOOSH!!
CRACK!!
All of sudden, Primis hand moved and entered the System window.
+WARNING+
+WARNING+
+WARNING+
...
…
Countless warning messages and windows appeared around.
"My Lord, what are you doing!?"
Even the System Spirit started panicking.
Before it could get any worse, Primis withdrew his arm. And the most shocking thing was a small wooden box in his hand.
This was the same random 1-2 Star Weapon Box which Primis would have obtained as the reward of completing the mission. Yet, he pulled it out just like that.
"Please don't do that again, My Lord! You will break the System. And since its what preserving my life, I will die too."
"Primis: I will try.'
"*sigh* I will appreciate that."
"Primis: For now, tell me what System features are."
"Alright. Since the current System is still in the first phase, the features it provides are limited. They are Quest, Inventory, Attributes, and Shop. Later more will be unlocked."
"Primis: Hmmmm."
"Though..."
"Primis: What is it?"
"Since Lord has no use for System. This means----"
"Primis: Don't worry, I know you need to recover your power. I have a way."
Hearing this, the System Spirit let out a sigh of relief.
"You have my gratitude."
Primis: Um.
With this Primis leaned back on the tree and closed his eyes. As a result of his soul being destroyed, his Zenith power had weakened drastically. Hence, the best way to heal was by mediating and concentrating Zenith in his soul.
Like this, time went by, and Morning came again.
Opening his eyes, Primis stood up and decided to leave.
Soon, he found his way out of the forest. However, before proceeding forward, he stopped and looked at the side.
There he saw Lumine sleeping under a tree while curling herself in a ball.
Lumine: ...…Aether.
She murmured in her sleep as a drop of tear came out from the corner of her eye.
In the end, Primis sighed and approached her.
After reaching her, he shook her body gently.
Lumine: Mmh....Huh
When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by Primis.
Primis: Let's go.
Saying this Primis offered his hand.
Lumine looked at it, then at Primis' face then again at his hand before finally gathering her courage to accept it.
With this their journey on this Land of Teyvat commenced.

A/N: And that's it. This is the end of Volume 4. I thank you readers for sticking up with me till here.
At first, I was planning of finding another person for the Guild and then retuned back to "Akame Ga Kill" but then I changed my mind a bit. We will return to "Akame Ga Kill" world in the next volume, 100%.
Anyway, for Volume 5, as you have already guessed, it's "Genshin Impact". Though this "Genshin Impact" world will be another one of the World participating in "Planar War". Hence, you can expect the appearance of some strong enemies.
That's all. Thanks.
