[The King's Avatar BG] Daybreak

Question: I just heard my male idol suddenly retired. What should I do?

Answer: Thanks for the invite. I'm still mentally stable. Right now I'm on my way to throw paint at the entrance to Excellent Era, but I got lost and ended up outside an Internet cafe called Happy. I see a pretty lady getting so upset she's crying because of some scruffy old guy. Which foot should I kick him with first? Waiting for an answer. This is urgent.

A King's Avatar BG fanfic. The main pairing is locked in: Ye Xiu.

The heroine is an exorcist. She's beautiful, powerful, and has a mouth as hard as diamond, but she's hopeless with directions and gets lost at life's crossroads on a daily basis. She'll hang around with Happy during Season 10, but will transfer later. This is going to be a long fic covering the World Invitational in Season 11. I'm sure of it.

A bit of mentor-disciple romance with an eight-year age gap. The main appeal is watching things gradually get twisted under the boss lady's strict watch. [Actually, it's a wholesome story with no fish to fry.]

Please don't ask why an exorcist player's male idol would be someone as boring as Ye Xiu.

There's a kind of love in this world that says, "If I love you, I have to beat you."

You say he's past his prime?

Nonsense. Have you ever heard of a textbook being scrapped because it was revised?

You say he isn't at his peak anymore?

That's fine. We'll just charge back to the top with him. I'm good at setting up an Ascension Formation.

No one is going to stop me. After all, the view is better when you fight at the summit.

Reader's Notes:

1. A slow-burn, canon-oriented leveling story. The heroine's only golden finger is that she's beautiful and great at fighting. There are some angsty plot points, so proceed with caution if you can't handle angst. But the author is a sweet-romance fan, so it shouldn't get too tragic.

2. I'm trying this story again in the hope that a change of scenery might get someone to read my ugly writing. No writing lessons, please. If you don't like it, just leave quietly. Don't flame me, I'll wilt. If you like it, leave a comment or something. I'm easy to keep happy.

3. I'm a middle-aged subway writer with a four-hour commute. I write fanfic just to stay alive and have no great ambitions, but the good news is that I finish what I start. I've got enough chapters saved up to keep updating daily for now.

4. There's a completed long BG fic at a certain pigeon farm, also paired with Ye Xiu, but the Excellent Era version. Feel free to check it out. I'll move it over when I have time later.

5. Please mind your manners in the comments and help create a pleasant reading environment. I hate black-and-white thinking. Rude comments, putting other works down, or anything that ruins the mood will be deleted and blocked.

6. I commissioned a cover from a teacher I fell in love with at first sight. It's Xinmei as a calico cat. Come see the finest cat in B City. [Hey!]

That's all. Thanks for your support.
