Li Yi is a Silver-ranked newbie who dreams of becoming a gaming streamer.
One day, three voices ring out in his mind, one after another: a sword genius from the immortal cultivation world, a tough guy surviving a zombie siege in the apocalypse, and an ancient crown prince imprisoned in the Eastern Palace. They are all versions of himself from parallel worlds.
Each has problems of his own, yet they end up helping him play games: the cultivation expert teaches him to sense enemies, the apocalypse survivor teaches him danger instincts, and the crown prince teaches him the art of ruling.
From then on, his livestream has three extra “substitutes.” His fans call him “the intermittently gifted one,” since he plays like a champion one moment and a Silver noob the next.
Only Li Yi knows the truth: it isn’t one person taking over, but three.

“I’m just a college student who plays games! I really can’t deal with all this!”
