Synopsis
A soul returned from the future, carrying abilities that don't belong to this age, and set out on an entirely different path.
Being reborn is the greatest variable of all. Everything begins to change.
Having inherited the legacy of Geomancer, a hero whose flaws are just as conspicuous as his strengths, what kind of power can Lu Mibo bring forth?
Where will the future lead?
The story is primarily set in the world of Dota, with an Infinite Flow-style format. For reference, see Mad Dota and Dota: Strongest Bloodline. After being reborn, the protagonist, Lu Mibo, chooses the Geomancer legacy. There are some wish-fulfillment elements, and the story doesn't completely follow the current version of Dota. Some tactics and techniques are pure speculation...
I've seen stories set in League of Legends, but I feel that using an entirely different world as the setting takes away the passion, camaraderie, and appeal of competitive matches themselves. I'm more familiar with Dota, though I don't know how many people here play it. Sorry for posting this out of the blue, but if you're interested, come take a look.
I don't know whether this is any good or whether it'll suit your tastes. I just didn't want to write purely for my own amusement. I can't really define the story's genre or the characters' romantic roles myself. Sometimes I intend to write something a certain way, but readers might see it differently. I don't want to mislead anyone, so I'm not adding tags I'm not sure about.
P.S. 1. Romance isn't the main plot, so anyone looking for a love story may be disappointed. 2. Because of the protagonist's clone bodies, the story is very likely to develop into an NP relationship. Those are the two points for now.
Dota keeps changing with every update, and I can't keep up with the pace of the changes. My skills are limited, and I can't adapt quickly to new rules and changes. I had only just gotten used to Geomancer being able to put a point into his ultimate at level four, and then the new version changed it to level three... And the attribute bonuses for Geomancer's clones are so confusing that I don't understand them... So most of the time, I won't follow the latest version. I'll mainly refer to version 6.78 and some parts of 6.79, though of course I won't use an absurd version like the Four Heavenly Kings.
I know my ability to choreograph battles is limited, so please point out any bugs you find. I'll fix them if I can. But if something is explicitly stated to be wish fulfillment, please don't nitpick it.
