[The King's Avatar] A Healer Who Can't Play an Elementalist Isn't a True Solo Player

[Blurb]

When Cheng Chuxiu first got into Glory, she played a healer.

But during the summer after the end of Season 5, the arena was full of Warlocks flying all over the place. After furiously typing two million question marks and still failing to get anyone's attention, she finally saw the light: God Fang, I'm done healing! I'd rather have the whole world against me!

…She switched to Warlock and named herself Big Cat Cow Milk.

“You can read it backwards too: Cow Cat Big. Pretty vivid, and it really suits a Warlock, right?”

She thought she'd be stuck playing Cow Cat Big… no, a Warlock, for the rest of her life. Then, when Glory opened a new server for its tenth anniversary, she went over to help people get started and ran into a powerful unspecialized player.

Cheng Chuxiu: “People still play unspecialized characters?”

She immediately pulled out a whole storage tab full of her own unspecialized characters and lined them up, every one of them gleaming silver.

…They were all cosplay characters equipped with custom gear!

Lord Grim had gone into the arena to see what an actual unspecialized player could do. “…”

Lord Grim: “Sure, why not.”

The real unspecialized player rolls up his sleeves and beats up every one of her ridiculous unspecialized characters, then kindly invites her: “You've got potential, my friend… Ever thought about becoming a pro?”

Cheng Chuxiu is beaten until her soul nearly leaves her body. It takes her a long time to recover, and all she can blurt out is: “That's so cool.”

The friends who've gathered to watch: “What's so cool about it? Wake up, Sister Xiuxiu, you're getting beaten to a pulp!”

Cheng Chuxiu argues her case: “Why can't power be beautiful too? Coach, I want to learn how to do that!”

And just like that, she gains half a master and gets carried all the way into the pro scene to take on the professional players.

Season 10: Warlock Big Cat Cow Milk and unspecialized player Rose Gem make their debut. Both are played by Cheng Chuxiu.

…Wait, wasn't she playing a healer when she first started?

※ A fanfic of The King's Avatar, starting from Season 8. The female lead is an Excellent Era Warlock and unspecialized player (with her own unspecialized characters), and she'll join in building the team. Pairing: Old Ye.

※ Chuxiu is pronounced “shiu,” with a falling tone. “Clouds drift without intent from the peaks; birds, weary from flight, know to return” is the source of the name Chuxiu.

※ As usual, this is written purely for fun.

Premise: Glory isn't a game for just one person.
