It's taken the gaming sphere by storm since being published in 2020, is enjoyed by millions of players all over the globe, and even if you've never played Genshin Impact before, you've definitely heard about it.

Up until this video, I was in the heard about it but didn't know anything about it category.

Not for any particular reason, I kind of just don't do anything ever.

I don't know why, I should probably figure that out.

As I was sitting on the floor, barely existing one day, Genshin Impact themselves suddenly reached out.

Hi Jaiden, I see you're up to your usual nothingness.

How about we pay you to play Genshin Impact?

Okay, so yep, this video is surprisingly sponsored by Genshin Impact.

I'm being paid to play Genshin Impact, but it's still gonna be a good video and experience.

I'm talking to Paimon, my spirit companion that I see all over my Twitter feed, about my past.

Yeah, I was literally just minding my business, traveling from world to world with my sister, when all of a sudden some sustainer of heavenly principles goddess appeared, absorbed my sister with cubes, and chained me to this land.

Anyway, thanks for saving me from drowning in the ocean.

As we walk and talk, a bunch of little critters are scurrying around.

Of course, I was scooping up all of them.

The ecosystem was definitely starting to crumble with me on this planet now.

As I'm chasing a squirrel around the lush forest, we discover a mysterious statue in the middle of a glistening pond.

Maybe this isn't the time to have 12 lizards stuffed in my pockets.

I'm suddenly granted mystical powers by the statue, and can now see the map.

The city of Mondstadt is close by, so we decided to head over there to see if anyone knows anything about my lost sister.

But while walking, we ended up stumbling into a strange bard talking to a dragon.

Unfortunately for everyone, I have a little magic hiccup, which gets us caught in both the bard and dragon scatter.

Closer to Mondstadt, we run into Amber, a knight who warns us that a dragon called Stormterror, an awesome name, has been terrorizing the town lately.

She then joins our party to lead us to safety, which is crazy because I thought you had to spend money to get girls to join your party in this game, but this one just joined us for free.

In Mondstadt, Amber then gives us a wind glider.

I take a running leap off the side of a building to try out my new wings, when suddenly the dragon shows up and spawns a bunch of tornadoes all over the town, catapulting me into the air.

With a full view of the dragon, I do what any sane person would in that scenario.

Stormterror ends up fleeing, and as a reward for shooing him off, I'm introduced to basically the protectors of Mondstadt.

I'm Jean, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

Very impressive going up against a dragon.

They take me to various temples, crushing these dragon's breath crystals that apparently gave Stormterror power.

I was just happy to be smashing rocks though, and some random moth guy that probably has significance, but he's dead now, so.

As the group was talking amongst each other about important stuff, like what to do next to ensure the safety of the townspeople, I wandered off and kind of started doing my own thing.

Helped some people, did some cooking, fought for my life against some hyper-aggressive and pissed animal hypostasis Rubik's Cube boss named Beth I accidentally stumbled into, which definitely didn't take me way too long to defeat.

I then found the bard from earlier, doing a guitar solo for the town.

He introduces himself as Venti, and tells about how him and Stormterror, whose real name is Dvalin, used to be friendly before it was attacked and poisoned by another dragon, leaving him bitter and angry.

Do you want to commit a burglary with me?

With a freshly stolen holy lyre, we were able to summon Dvalin, who pulled a bit of a tsundere and was like, if you really cared about me, then you'd come to my castle, but you probably won't because you hate me, don't you?

Bada bing, bada boom, we entered his lair and started fighting him in a swirling vortex.

The dragon eventually falls, we purify him, and the day is saved.

Wait, I was supposed to find my sister, not fight a dragon.

Even though I'm riding the high of saving all these people, and a dragon, and being awesome, I head off to Fontaine to continue my journey.

The town sits on the edge of a cliff, sparkling waterfalls pouring off the sides around it, framed perfectly by the mountains behind.

Is that girl about to jump off the cliff?

The water will rise and eventually drown everyone here, leaving our Hydro Archon to sit weeping on her throne for all eternity.

Oh, sorry, did I interrupt you talking about the prophecy where everyone in Fontaine is born within sin and one day we will all dissolve in the waters?

The magic twins, Leni and Lynette, decide to take us to the opera house, but on the way there, we're actually stopped by the Hydro Archon herself, Farina.

Welcome, travelers, to my city of Fontaine!

They're fierce and noble warriors who have done much good for the land and its people.

Actually, I hereby declare the traveler under arrest for having a flying object, which is illegal.

Paimon doesn't count because she's a... a balloon.

We get to the opera house and the magic show begins.

Everything is going well, but as Linny was about to do a trick where he swaps boxes with a random audience member, a giant water tank falls onto the box, obliterating it.

Oh my god, we killed... my assistant Gowell?

Why is he here and not the audience member?

A murder mystery plus disappearance case was now in place, with everyone looking at Linny as the prime suspect.
