Death Is Counting Down, but I'm Charging Toward the World Championship

Three years ago, he was Ghost, the peak champion of Starfall Legends: a master of keyboard-and-mouse play, crowned world champion and FMVP. One cruel car accident notice shattered his glory and his life in an instant. With both parents gone, his younger sister, Lin Xiaoyu, became his only reason to keep going. He clipped his own wings, retired, and returned home, content to live an ordinary life. Three years later, a rare terminal illness called progressive neurofibroglial fusion disease pushes eighteen-year-old Xiaoyu to the edge of the abyss. The price of the exorbitant "Neural Reconstruction Gene Therapy," tens of millions, hangs over them like the cold blade of death. Their savings are gone, and hope is about to burn out. Meanwhile, the gaming giant Genesis Engine launches its revolutionary new title, Quantum Era, and it takes the world by storm! Equipped with the groundbreaking Quantum Neural Link Pod, it opens the door to sensory evolution and offers a prize pool worth tens of millions of dollars! Its dazzling promise pierces the darkness of Lin Feng's despair. Su Qingli, a frosty female boss with plenty of money at her disposal, finds him. She runs the newly founded Morningstar Esports Club, which desperately needs a star player to make a splash in Quantum Era. She presents him with a harsh "Immortality Contract": An exorbitant signing bonus and a guarantee of Xiaoyu's treatment: an offer he cannot refuse. He must abandon keyboard and mouse, the tools that felt like extensions of his body, and use the cold Quantum Neural Link Pod instead! He must become the team's core shot-caller and leave behind his elusive assassin role! He must meet the required standards within a month. Otherwise, it all falls apart, and he'll be saddled with debt! The minimum target is a top-eight finish in the Rising Stars Tournament: lead a troubled new team from scratch
