Currently serializing: After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became a World Champion Jungler x Mid Laner Shen Er spent years in his professional career without ever winning a championship. He retired with a body full of occupational injuries and the title of "E-Rank Luck." Then he missed a step and fell down the stairs. When he woke up, he was lying in a hospital bed. He picked up his phone and found himself looking at a wish-fulfillment esports novel from a web fiction site. When he realized the cannon-fodder side character in the book shared his name and had gone through exactly the same things, he understood. Shen Er: ...Could the author show a little kindness? · Broke and back in the real world, Shen Er had no choice but to return to his old line of work and make ends meet as a paid gaming partner at an internet cafe.

First, he got a pentakill and won the internet cafe's grand prize. Then he carried a game on a casual paid-partner gig. After that, a man with a deep, pleasant voice hired him at a high rate for a long-term arrangement, and his wallet grew fatter and fatter. Then one day, Shen Er unexpectedly received an invitation to try out for a rising team in the League.
