National Destiny: Golden Spatula, Five Hearts of Steel from the Start?!

[Teamfight Tactics + National Destiny + No Romance + No Dumbing Down + Strategy + Original Traits]

In a parallel world, the Gods' Gambit national-destiny game begins. China has lost thirteen games in a row, and a fourteenth consecutive loss will wipe the country off the map. Could heaven really have abandoned China?!

Du Xun, who had just gotten a three-star Darkin Blade in the game, transmigrates here by accident.

“Follow me... and plunge into destruction!”

Even his three-star Darkin Blade stays by his side. As its ultimate ability activates... one slash sends Du Xun into the Gods' Gambit as a player.

Bearing the hopes of everyone in China, Du Xun chooses an unprecedented Hex from the start: [Fortune's Favor].

This is the final match of Set 12: [Magic and Mayhem].

[Fortune] traits? What trash... No thanks!

[Sugarcraft]? You call that a fun trait?!

[Heartsteel]? Show your face and you're dead!!!

How did Du Xun start with five Heartsteel in Set 12, which has no fun traits?

[A heart as strong as steel grows stronger with every setback!]

Amid everyone's doubts and mockery, Du Xun begins his losing streak...

Even if failure means being scorched by flames, consumed by frost, and having his body utterly crushed... he'll carve a path to survival through sheer will!

The Neon Nation's player hits full health and rolls huge traits like [Nine Frost], [Ten Eldritch], and [Nine Faerie].

Just as everyone thinks Du Xun is about to finish in eighth place and get eliminated, he calmly opens a travel chest glowing with rainbow light. “This chest with ten thousand layers is about to burst... let's see what goodies are inside.”

The next moment, a voice rings out:

[I am the Chosen One! And the only one!]

“By the way... I'm Du Xun. Du, as in Du Fu; Xun, as in Xun Yu.”
