Honkai: Ouroboros

'Don't end up like me'

That's the best advice a monster like him can give to the gray-haired knight in front of him.

Not much of an advice, he admit, but he was never much of a thinker, that's more of his wife thing.

His opinion toward the descendant of his friend Fu Hua rises as the fist of the young man began to enlarge, it's rapidly filled the entirety of his vision.

'Just like his mother' He thought, no matter who they face, they would treat their foe with the greatest respect a warrior should receive at the end of their life.

Dying to their opponent's strongest strike.

The moment when the gray-haired knight punch strike his head, Loki knew that his time has come, as his body turn into particles, Loki's life began to flash before his eyes, and many of the scenes that he recalls brought a smile to his disfigured face.

It's a shame of how far he had fallen, choosing to become the very being his friend and family swore to defeat, but in the end, looks like everything turned out to be pretty alright.

The future of this world is much brighter than his own after all.

A Spin-Off story of Honkai: Pravljica, this story is mainly focusing on the origin story of the Herrscher of Storm, Loki.

Spoiler: There would be no bad nor tragic ending for the protagonist, since this is a What if story in which Loki didn't die and got summoned as a Herrscher in the Pravljica universe.

You can regard this Hero of Storm Loki and the Herrscher of Storm Loki as 2 separate entities, because while it's true that they have the same start, having the same opportunity and encounter, but in the end, the both of them choose to take a different action.
