Becoming a Legend Again in an Esports Novel

# The world's Esports skill level has fallen by ten thousand times, but I remain at my original level #

One day, former Grand Slam champion Lin Luo opened his eyes and found himself transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character with the same name in an Esports novel. In the book, the protagonist is an all-around player who can instantly defeat the heavens, the earth, and everything in between. Lin Luo is a minor cannon fodder who gets sacrificed in Chapter Three on the protagonist's path to godhood, then repeatedly used as a point of comparison to make the protagonist look good until the very end.

Lin Luo: ...Written by a hater?

The System told him that if he wanted to survive in this novel, he had to earn enough achievement points to avoid the miserable fate of a cannon-fodder character.

Lin Luo had been planning to lie flat and wait for death. But then he opened the game and took a look. That's it?

Unusual things began happening in the tranquil gaming world. First, an unknown new account took the top spot on the national server. Then an unknown new streamer casually posted a tutorial video that changed the landscape of professional competition. Stranger still, the players everyone considered geniuses had lately been getting thrashed in solo queue again and again...

At first, nobody paid any attention.

That is, until a strange newcomer appeared on the professional scene. In one year, he switched between three clubs, went from substitute to starter, and played every role from support to marksman, mid, and top. He not only swept major domestic and international championships, but also clinched victory with his teammates completely collapsed and a ten-thousand-gold deficit. At Worlds, he used an off-meta champion to thrash the world's number-one mid laner, and once again climbed to the top of both server rankings.

At first, Lin Luo thought this was just an Esports world full of holes.

After all, in the author's story, anything could jungle, the tournament was a joke, and the protagonist could stomp players at their fountain in seconds or pull off a classic 1v5 in the dragon pit. The game was so full of version exploits it had more holes than a sieve.

Then he discovered that this world had a unique vitality of its own. Whenever something unreasonable appeared, the game would promptly patch it out. He rolled up his sleeves at once, determined to give this world a taste of real professional play.

[Reading Guide] 1. A power fantasy: the protagonist is invincible, similar to a story where the world's Esports skill level drops ten thousand times while the protagonist remains at his original level. 2. The love interest is not a professional player, but a wealthy backer who fixes version exploits behind the scenes. 3. The game setting is LoL. There will be plenty of author-invented details. You can follow the story without playing the game, and it won't affect the fun.

Blurb: # The ultimate flirt, with the stats to prove it #

When Gu Qinzhou was preparing to return home and build his career, a friend made sure to warn him about one thing: never mess with a player whose ID was Just. That was Bai Zhuo.

There were two reasons. First, Bai Zhuo had incredible gaming talent, a brutal playstyle, and a petty streak. The last person who offended him got killed so often they quit the game, and the grass on their grave grew two meters high.

Second, Bai Zhuo was exceptionally good-looking, and every teammate who ended up on his team without exception fell for him. Whenever one of them left, things ended very badly.

Gu Qinzhou, a gifted player who was straighter than a steel pipe, scoffed. "Let him try."

Later, Bai Zhuo really did join his team. On the day he arrived, he wore a black baseball jacket with silver earrings and had a lollipop in his mouth. Gu Qinzhou's first impression was that he looked well-behaved but wasn't particularly obedient. He was undeniably gorgeous, but nowhere near as stunning as the rumors claimed.

Then they were assigned to the same room. Bai Zhuo took off his shirt, revealing a well-defined back and a slim, strong waist. He casually pulled a cigarette from his pocket. "Got a light?" Before Gu Qinzhou could react, he leaned over, lit it from the cigarette in Gu's mouth, took a couple of drags, then smiled at him. "Thanks, bro."

Gu Qinzhou drew a deep breath.

...Damn, that hit hard.
