Top-tier star Omega Yan Su dies, and during his heat, he arrives in the real world, where he meets an Alpha carrying a bag. The other man's Alpha pheromones are so strong, Yan Su has never smelled anything like them.
He drags his feverish body over and asks, "Could I trouble you to give me a quick hit?"
Cheng Ze has just finished a match when a slender wrist suddenly grabs him. The other person says something outrageous, asking him right off the bat to give him a heal.
Cheng Ze thinks for a while. "...I don't play support. What team are you on?"
Yan Su blushes, bewildered.
-
still recently got a new support player. He's beautiful but terrible at the game, a mascot that ace player Cheng Ze picked up and brought back to the club. Fans call him Little Pretty.
During livestreams, Cheng Ze teaches Little Pretty: "Heal me, heal me, jump on my back and heal me!"
But Little Pretty has no idea how to heal.
That is, until fans spot a hit esports drama trending online. The lead actor, playing an esports ace, is amazingly skilled, exudes a top player's confidence, and looks awfully familiar...
Sharp-eyed fans recognize him:
still's mascot!
The Little Pretty who can't heal!
He's improved so fast!
In his original world, Yan Su was an actor. After a villain harmed him and gave him a poisoned suppressant, he ended up here.
He never expected people here to be just as cruel. The only exception is Cheng Ze, who took him in.
He learns to play games from Cheng Ze, and the villains accuse him of putting on an act.
He gets opportunities through Cheng Ze, and the villains drag him all over the internet.
He hides out at Cheng Ze's club, and the villains mock him as useless.
The villains are just as awful as the ones in his original world, but Yan Su is no longer the same Yan Su. Cheng Ze has taught him how to fight back.
Before long, a resounding slap lands across those villains' faces:
The supposedly useless top-tier star Yan Su stands beside an esports ace, about to compete in the World League as still's support player.

[Bonus scene]
After winning the championship with his support mentor, Yan Su goes back that night to film a scene, casually takes on an endorsement, roasts some paid trolls, then sneaks back to the club to get his beauty sleep.
The next morning, he wakes to the rich Alpha scent on Cheng Ze and feels his body heating up again.
"What's your pheromone, Master? It smells so classy, and it even repels mosquitoes. I've never smelled anything like it."
Cheng Ze is used to Yan Su's strange behavior by now. Knowing Yan Su likes the smell of his floral mosquito repellent, he sprays on half a bottle in one go.
He beckons Yan Su over, leans close to his ear, and teases him softly. "Call me darling, and I'll tell you."
Yan Su blushes, his heart racing. "...Darling Master."
Cheng Ze shakes his head and smiles. "Hmm, here's a hint: call me your man..."
Yan Su: "My male master."
Cheng Ze: "..."
