[Synopsis dated December 5, 2023]
Li Chu, the top sniper in the NGC Asia region, is suddenly transported into a game created by his haters, becoming a cannon-fodder character with the same name, designed specifically to make his life miserable.
And his start is a complete disaster.
Debt, tuition, living expenses...
Li "soon-to-retire pro player" Chu quietly picks up his old trade and starts streaming.
Ten consecutive MVPs, 28 kills by one player in a single match, never missing a shot...
As "Akashic" shoots to the top of the rankings, passing viewers wonder: ?? Who's this, some general's secret account?
To avoid the original character's tragic ending, Li Chu keeps his identity hidden. Then one day, he quick-scopes and takes down the mysterious [Commander] on the opposing team with a single shot...
Teammates: ...
Opponents: ...
Livestream chat: ...
That night, a supernova-level captain suddenly appears in Akashic's livestream, tipping two million star coins. The ID belongs to the [Commander] he'd just shot in the head three minutes earlier!
By the customs of the interstellar livestream scene, Li Chu connects to his patron's communicator. But before he can say a word, a military transport is already parked outside his door.
The only message from the other end of the communicator is: Get in.
Li Chu: ! Sir, I sell my skills, not my body...
-
A supernova streamer with the callsign "Akashic" appears on the interstellar livestream rankings. At the same time, a new tactician joins the side of a Federation general.
"That tactician? I hear he's a genius from Emperor Luan Academy."
"A genius is still human, isn't he?"
"An ordinary human should stay in logistics. Taking one to the front lines will just make him dead weight, won't it?"
Only when the "dead weight" switches from rifle to blade and performs his signature finishing move from the game do the people of the stars finally realize:
The barrier between idol and fan has been shattered!
Li Chu, completely unaware that he's shattered that barrier, holds the gravely wounded Aerns in the middle of the ruins and instinctively reaches for the back of his neck...
Aerns grabs his wrist. "How... do you know my activation code?"
Li Chu presses his lips together. "Because I'm your dad."
