About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

Orson finds himself bound to a pillar in a dim tent, realizing he is not alone—Talula, the villainous boss from "Arknights," stands before him. Confused and suffering from a headache, he struggles to recall details of a recent traumatic event involving a village he had been in. Talula presses him for information about the village, revealing that he was found holding a girl who had died in his arms amidst signs of horrific violence. Orson, initially adamant that he has no connection to the girl, eventually admits to witnessing her death, leading to a realization that he himself has become an "infected person"—a term he had not previously understood as anything more than a game mechanic. Frost Nova, another character from the game and Orson's wife, enters and suggests that Orson should be eliminated instead of protected. Orson, in a moment of desperation, offers to perform stand-up comedy as a means to contribute to their efforts, a response that only leaves him feeling embarrassed. Talula questions whether she has seen him before and why he refers to her as "wife," leaving Orson feeling foolish. After the tension, Orson realizes he has survived the encounter and reflects on the dissonance he feels regarding Talula and Frost Nova compared to his memories of them. He deduces that he has arrived in a timeline just before major events in "Arknights" and is intrigued by the implications. As he begins to navigate his new reality, he encounters other infected warriors. Despite their circumstances, they share a common goal of survival. Frost Nova threatens Orson, hinting at the precariousness of his position, but he is filled with relief to see her alive. As he tries to adapt to his new role, he contemplates his relationship with the infected and the potential for cooperation amidst the chaos. Orson's journey has just begun, and he is determined to carve a path forward in this unfamiliar world.
