[Blurb] (Some of the plot in the blurb takes place in the extra chapters.)

He Yunze, former Hearthstone world champion, had only been streaming for a few months when disaster struck: the Chinese server shut down.

The young champion got mad, just for a moment. To make a living, he had to switch careers and look for a cheaper place to rent.

On his first day after moving in, he thought his landlord was a bit off. But he put up with it so he wouldn't get kicked out.

The landlord was amazing at games. His fluid, seamless plays utterly crushed the opposition, and He Yunze's fans jokingly called him a god-tier booster.

The real god-tier booster, eccentric landlord, former champion jungler, Fu Yue: Call me big brother and I'll help you crush the other team.

The year GK won the championship, Fu Yue waved goodbye to the competitive scene without looking back. There was no other reason: he was getting old. After years of wear and tear, he had lost most of his passion for League of Legends. With plenty of younger talent coming up in the LPL, he could finally let go and take it easy.

One day, a young guy moved into the attic he was renting out. And, well, he played pretty steadily.

Steady young guy, trash-talker, somewhat skilled novice player, He Yunze: Can you please aim that thing properly?! (Referring to Nidalee's spear.)

Fu Yue: Sure, I'll aim better.

[Other]

The author is an extremely intense CP fan, and only wants to write about sweet, lovey-dovey couples (repeat after me).

My stories aren't for any kind of shipper who fixates on character roles. I'll start cursing immediately if I see kk comments, self-insert ship fantasies, or comments about tops and bottoms.

Theme: Overcome adversity and become yourself again
