[Welcome to the esports life, dear __ player! Your first playthrough data has been saved. You have received 10,000 free attribute points and unlocked an achievement: The Gods Are Merely the Threshold to Meeting Me.]
[Choose your faction for your second playthrough:]
You: I think I heard someone shouting, "Don't pick Team Excellent Era! You'll be miserable!"
Then picking the faction opposing Excellent Era should be fine, right?
[Ding! You have chosen Team Royal Style!]
As it turned out, the much-favored Team Royal Style lost to Excellent Era in its very first season. After that, it declined at a hair-raising pace, eventually becoming a regular-season gatekeeper.
Excellent Era, meanwhile, won three seasons in a row and cemented its place as the dominant team.
...Who said not to pick Excellent Era?
[Special event triggered. Due to poor team management, you are facing the threat of layoffs. Please choose:]
[→ Throw tens of millions in the face of the ungrateful boss and tell him he's fired.]
[→ They say changing your name can bring a huge boost to your career luck. Want to give it a try?]
[→ Accept reality. Maybe esports isn't the right path for you. Try another career.]
[→ Enter battle and Oorah everyone! You're getting fired anyway, so what have you got to lose? You know the feeling: battle, so good!]
Watching Team Royal Style come close to missing the playoffs entirely, you were completely numb.
In the end, you couldn't take it anymore. With the maxed-out starting bonus from your roguelike game, you charged from the youth academy to the first-team practice room and kicked the door open.
[‹You› have challenged ‹all first-team players of Team Royal Style› to battle!]
[Congratulations! You won the battle. Intelligence +5, Charisma +3.]
[Your Glory skills have amazed everyone at Team Royal Style! Charisma +100, Reputation +100.]
[Your position has changed to ‹Team Royal Style Captain Lv. Max›. Achievement unlocked: A Meteoric Rise.]
"All right," you announced without mercy. "I'm playing the game now."
First, you were going to take down Excellent Era.
1. A pure professional-player storyline, like my previous book.
2. The timeline runs from Season 4 to Season 10, with some seasons in the middle skipped.
3. Fine, I just want to kick Xiao Shiqin out of his box lunch.
4. All pairings; an experimental attempt at writing romance.
Theme: Never give up hope, no matter how desperate things seem.
