At the summit of the Bird’s Nest, draped in the glory of five championship titles, Xu Bicheng can think only of that hot phone screen from the beginning, back when he was in the Starshine tier.
When he opens his eyes again, he’s returned to the first year after King of Glory launched.
The professional league is nonexistent, tactical understanding is primitive, and investors are waiting to pounce.
In this life, he won’t be a lonely king.
He’ll start with scrappy internet cafe tournaments, gather the future’s disillusioned prodigies around him early, and use a game-version understanding five years ahead of its time to crush the competition. He’ll build a healthy esports ecosystem with his own hands and give the middle finger to every injustice.
When a reporter asks, “God Xu, what do you think about the miracle of going from Starshine to world champion?”
He smiles at the camera. “Let me correct you. It wasn’t a miracle. I’m back.”
