The winter Lu Li turned fifteen, on the very first day Glory went live, he squeezed into a tiny internet cafe and casually created an account named “Frost-Cleaving Sword.”
Back then, he had no idea that the top player sitting at the next computer was Ye Xiu, whose game ID was “One Autumn Leaf.” The world would later know him only as Ye Qiu, captain of Team Excellent Era. In truth, he played professionally using his twin brother’s ID. The other voice in their headsets belonged to Su Muqiu, a genius equipment designer. Three people, one editor, and a sword that would one day be named “Drunk Gazing at the Waves” turned the pioneering days of online gaming history into a legend.
While Ye Xiu became a god on the competitive stage and Su Muqiu dreamed at his keyboard, a boy named Lu Li used nothing but a swordsman and a carefree attitude to go from rookie to Excellent Era’s “Sword Immortal.” He lived through the heights of their three consecutive championships and bore witness to the collapse of Season 4.
He wasn’t aloof or weighed down by bitterness. He loved to laugh, knew how to get along with people, and could brush himself off and say “Let’s go again” even after a loss. Yet this seemingly frivolous man took up the sword Su Muqiu had left unfinished and played the season he never got to finish. Only when the sword was complete could the poem be whole: half a man, half a sword.
This is a story from the prequel era, when the professional league was just taking shape and no one knew they were making history. The ordinary man who stood beside legends eventually became one himself.
I like it. The author should be productive now. I will give you all the dowry of my future girlfriend in my tomatoes.
Is there a cp? 🤔
It's okay, just a little too bland. Keep up the good work💪
