Lin Ye's fingers flew on the mechanical keyboard, making a heavy tapping sound like a shower. In the Shanghai E-Sports Center in 2025, the final round of the "World of Warcraft" global finals was being staged. The human mage "Xingluo" he controlled shuttled through the arena like a ghost. The moment the ice ring froze the three opponents, a storm of flames exploded under his feet.
"Beautiful! The explosion of Xingluo! Three kills! The championship is ours -" The commentator's roar was drowned in the frenzy of the audience. Lin Ye took off his headphones, sweat dripping from his forehead on the keyboard. As a legendary mage who has won the global championship for three consecutive years, his name has long become a totem in the "World of Warcraft" e-sports circle. But the moment the trophy was handed to his hand, a strong sense of dizziness swept over him. The lights in the venue were distorted into strange light spots, and the cheers in his ears turned into a sharp buzzing.
