Three Thousand Years Later (A Jian Wang 3 Online Game Novel)

A strategy-and-saber versus Li Ye CP-centered online game novel, set in Jian Wang 3, with elements of a faux past-life-and-present-life connection. If you spot any glaring errors in the game-related details, please feel free to point them out. There's very little information about the Li Ye CP, so most of it is made up. Please point out any plot holes, but don't flame me. The title is borrowed from a song. I just like the feeling of a past-life-and-present-life connection it evokes, nothing more. Disclaimer: The story begins in 2010–2011, so please keep in mind that many game details, including dungeons, faction battles and strategies, class skills, and gear scores, reflect that period. Blurb [Historical Version] In the glorious Tang dynasty, the world was in turmoil. In just a few short years, the Sword Manor of West Lake had grown from a rising clan into a force to be reckoned with. Its master, Ye Mengqiu, had toppled a century-old prestigious family with one hand and raised up a new clan with the other. Since the first Famous Swords Tournament, the name of the Sword Manor had become known throughout the land. Yet no one could have guessed that Ye Mengqiu's eldest son, Ye Ying, was a fool who made little progress in learning the sword. He was beaten and punished day after day, yet barely reacted, driving Ye Mengqiu to the brink of fury and despair. In the seventh year of the Kaiyuan era, the Sword Manor held its second Famous Swords Tournament. Ye Ying had just turned fourteen, yet he was still the foolish young master known throughout West Lake as someone who "couldn't wield a sword." Then he met Li Cheng'en, the commander of the Tiance Army, who had come from Luoyang in the eastern capital. [Modern Version] Ever since Chen Fei started playing J3, he'd never met a player like Ye Ranqiu. You might call the other guy a total noob, but he could take on a Tiance player in faction gear by himself while wearing nothing but guild-contribution gear. But if you called him a skilled player, he died all the time, even in a simple daily dungeon, and he never died the same way twice. Could it be... there was some secret about this guy? = = = = = Jumping up to beg for support, Wind Comes from Wu Mountain style = = = = = = Completed: a Jian Wang 3 master-disciple story with a swordsman CP New danmei project: ruthless, taciturn dragon gong / sharp-tongued, shameless Daoist shou The procrastinating author's Weibo~~ Theme:
