Silvermoon Realm.

A Silver Moon hung here, never setting.

Previously, only her figure inhabited this space, and even the wind sweeping past carried a hollow echo.Full novel: HSR: Columbina Enters the Gacha — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

It was only after the Kuuhenki were born one after another that this place gradually came to life.

Some of those little ones preferred the planet of their birth and chose to stay there.

Others, however, were exceptionally attached to her.

They followed the Silver Moon’s aura here, turning every corner of the space into a playground.

And the Silvermoon Realm was originally a part of the Silver Moon itself.

Columbina had long ago granted the Kuuhenki the authority to come and go freely, allowing them to dwell at ease in this world.

At this moment, Columbina was lying on a Crescent Moon crafted from pure Moon Soulstone.

This Crescent Moon was astonishingly large.

Its entire body glowed with a soft, cold light.

The Moon Soulstone’s texture resembled flowing Moonlight.

Just the curve of one side was enough to snugly accommodate her entire being.

“Host, your current state is so pitiful.

Wait, I just realized, the first Selenic Chronicles could be opened right now!” The System’s voice was wrapped in delight.

Columbina lowered her eyes, her voice devoid of even a hint of strength: “I thought you would care about me first.” After returning from that Dead Sea, Columbina’s condition could hardly be described as good.

Several Kuuhenki circled her wrist, their soft light rubbing against her fingertips as if gently coaxing her.

“You could borrow some power from the Stellaron,” the System’s voice paused, its tone softening.

“Besides, the Selenic Chronicles will really be interesting.

Maybe it could make you feel a bit better…

But I’ll listen to you.

If you don’t want to open it, we’ll wait until you recover.” Columbina fell silent for a few seconds, a very faint sigh escaping her throat.

Without moving her body at all, only her eyelashes trembled: “Then…

let her in.” (For the sake of temporal consistency, Columbina and the player will not discuss matters regarding the Trailblaze journey.

Additionally, this side of the protagonist can be considered the main timeline.

The game’s plot serves the Columbina of this world, rather than this world adapting to the game’s plot.) At the same time, in another room wrapped in night, the light from a computer screen illuminated Lil’ Hafu’s face.

She held a blueberry-flavored lollipop in her mouth, the wrapper still clenched in her palm.

The moment she pressed the “Start Stream” button, her voice overflowed with irrepressible excitement: “Wei!

Fam, who gets it?!

I dragged myself out of bed at four in the morning just to do my wife’s Selenic Chronicles.

I’ve been waiting for a whole week!” As soon as she finished speaking, the bullet comments flooded in like a tide.

[The streamer’s biological clock has completely synced with the Goddess!

At four in the morning, I’m still cuddling in bed.] [Let’s ask the important thing first!

What flavor is the lollipop today?

It looks like blueberry from the color, but I want to hear you say it yourself!] [Floor above +1!

Starting every day with sweets, isn’t the streamer afraid of cavities?

My teeth would hurt after three days.] Lil’ Hafu smiled with the candy in her mouth, reaching up to rub her cheek.

“What does it feel like to have cavities?

I eat sweets every day and haven’t experienced it yet!

Today is indeed blueberry flavor, super fragrant!

How about you guys?

None of you are sleeping at four in the morning.

Are you waiting for the Chronicles like me, or secretly watching the stream?” After teasing the audience, she wasted no more time, her fingertips quickly tapping to open Honkai: Star Rail.

As soon as the loading screen passed, a silver-white avatar outline floated prominently on the main game page.

That was Columbina.

Immediately after, two lines of pale blue text slowly emerged in the center of the screen, as if someone had written them with moonlight: “The new moon always quietly listens to the wishes of all living beings, whether they be laughter and tears, happiness or sorrow.” “If that’s the case, then does the new moon have a wish all its own?

The Ring of the Silver Moon seems a bit different today…” “Here it comes, here it comes!” Lil’ Hafu’s eyes lit up, and she immediately opened her inventory.

The Ring of the Silver Moon was usually just a decorative item that could only be viewed, not used, but today it was exceptionally different.

A never-before-seen option had appeared in the bottom right corner, with a button that read: Enter Silvermoon Realm.

“My dear Lady Goddess!

My dear Wife!

Your most, most beloved Lil’ Hafu is here!” Lil’ Hafu didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

A burst of silver-white light suddenly exploded in front of Stelle on the screen.

Countless tiny silver moon fragments slowly rotated, gradually forming a portal.

The next second, the screen suddenly blurred, and when it cleared again, the scene before her eyes had already changed to a completely new one.

It was a small space, with a path paved with silver sand and shallow water beneath her feet, and blue flowers and grass planted all along the sides of the path.

Lil’ Hafu couldn’t help but let out a “Wow,” her voice pitching a bit higher: “Oh my god!

Is this my wife’s home?

It’s just too beautiful!

Huh?

Did the character automatically switch?” She controlled Stelle to walk forward two steps, and as the silver sand was stepped on, fine particles of light could be seen scattering.

But after walking for a while, she still didn’t see Columbina.

Lil’ Hafu frowned, her voice laced with a hint of confusion: “Eh?

Where is my wife?

Could she be waiting for me inside?” Just as she finished speaking, her gaze fell upon the grass by the roadside, where several Kuuhenki were circling around the flowers and grass.

“Aww, aww, aww!

These little guys are just too cute!” Lil’ Hafu was instantly captivated, controlling Stelle to crouch down as if interacting with the Kuuhenki.

The bullet chat also grew excited, scrolling past rapidly.

[My god!

This space looks way too relaxing!

You can tell it’s super comfortable, it’s still the Lady Goddess!] [What do you mean “too relaxing”?

That’s not right, person above!

Our Lady Goddess has saved so many sentient beings, isn’t it only right for her to have such a gentle little space?] [Exactly, exactly!

Maybe this space was always like this, exclusive to the Goddess, and now she’s willing to let us come in, which means she’s already spoiling us too much!] [Stop arguing, stop arguing!

Find the Goddess first!

Streamer, go forward and see if your wife is inside!] “Okok!

I’ll go take a look right now.” How could Lil’ Hafu still care about admiring the surrounding scenery right now?

She controlled her character to run straight ahead.

In one breath, she rushed to the Crescent Moon at the very center of this space, which was glowing with a soft, cold light.

“I see my wife!” Lil’ Hafu locked onto the figure in the center of the Crescent Moon at first glance.

After taking a closer look, her tone immediately softened.

“She seems to be…

sleeping?” Stelle lightened her footsteps and quietly drew closer.

A very, very faint voice drifted out from Columbina’s direction, carrying a hint of weakness that was hard to conceal: “Is that you, Stelle?” Her voice paused, as if she had gathered her strength for a good while before continuing: “I’m…

so sorry.

Meeting you is clearly a lucky thing, but today…

I can’t properly entertain you.” The screen suddenly zoomed in, and Stelle had already walked to Columbina’s side.

Perhaps sensing the aura on Stelle, the Kuuhenki that had been circling Columbina immediately flew silently to the other end of the Crescent Moon.

One of the Kuuhenki was a bit special.

She first tilted her head, carefully observing Stelle with her eyes for a moment, then slowly backed away a little, yet never left.

“Are you hurt?” Stelle’s voice was filled with worry.

“Did I…

disturb your rest?” A very classic line broken into two sentences.

Columbina gently shook her head, her voice even weaker than before: “No…

it’s not your fault.

It’s just that…

I’ve had a little problem myself.

Just like how ordinary people get sick, it’ll…

be better soon.” She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and her voice dropped even lower: “Um…

this is a secret between the two of us, okay?

Don’t tell anyone else.” Stelle was worried sick, and Lil’ Hafu was worried sick too.

The players in front of the screen were even more worried sick.
