[Complete!] Please check out my upcoming novels: "Childhood Friend of the Entertainment Industry's Top-Tier Star," "The Scorned Savior After Watching the Show," and "Did My Tycoon System Pull It Off Today?" Please add them to your favorites! After winning his tenth championship and earning the FMVP after switching to support, momo chose to retire. The internet erupted, but momo, suddenly at the center of a storm, logged off for good after retiring. He left behind the words, "I'm going to experience a different kind of life," then went abroad. He changed his phone number and all his contact information. No one could get in touch with him. He vanished without a trace, as if he had disappeared off the face of the earth. The next time anyone heard from him was three years later, on an esports variety show. A group of retired veterans had received invitations from the production team. The game publisher had specially planned a show modeled on an esports All-Star event to bring back old users and attract new ones. They had deliberately invited all the star players from the golden age of Myriad Realms. Back when Myriad Realms was at its peak, these esports top-tier stars had been household names. After retiring, some became coaches, some became commentators, and others became streamers. Most stayed in the public eye and continued contributing to the esports scene. After receiving the publisher's invitation, they were forcibly added to a group chat. These retired top-tier stars were all busy people. None wanted to give the publisher their time for free. The group's response to the show was lukewarm at best. Instead, the screen filled with profanity and sarcastic remarks. The young woman in charge of communications was sweating bullets. She could feel the players' oppressive presence through the screen and thought, What a bunch of spoiled princes! Just as she was at her wit's end, the director's WeChat profile picture appeared in the group chat. A plain black avatar simply posted a few words: momo's coming too. The group chat fell silent at once. A few seconds later, the long-neglected group poll was smashed by the players' lightning-fast fingers. And the players weren't the only ones getting excited. Big names from every field were worked up too. As soon as word leaked that momo would appear on the show, entertainment industry's top-tier idols, chart-topping singers, revered movie stars, and directors and screenwriters behind several hit productions all fought over a spot as a guest, even taking to Weibo to proclaim their love for momo. All they wanted was a chance to play a game with God Chi. Sports stars and Olympic champions also began quietly making moves. Even entrepreneurs and scientists who had made their mark in their respective fields announced that they wanted to take part. The netizens watching the drama unfold were baffled. One person asked, "It makes sense for people in entertainment to come, but why are all you big shots from other industries joining in?" The big shots unanimously pushed back: "What's wrong with that? Entertainment stars can play games, but we (sports stars/Olympic champions/scientists/entrepreneurs) can't? Come on, don't be so narrow-minded! We're people too!" -- Myriad Realms is the world's game, and momo is the world's treasure. . Despite suffering from asthma and psychological illness, Chi Mo takes part in the show while seizing power and becoming the center of authority. The first thing he does after taking charge is purge the management and carry out sweeping reforms. He assembles a team of his own and leads them under the national team's banner to compete in the World Championship Cup. The spirited young man who once shone as a player becomes chairman of the Huaguo Myriad Realms League and head coach of the national team. Under momo's intensive training, this handpicked team brings Huaguo back from the depths after three years of silence, returning it to its former heights. As a dark horse, it emerges as an undisputed world-class powerhouse. The domestic esports scene is utterly fired up, while the overseas community is left in shambles. They all marvel that the Demon King really is the Demon King. As a player, he mercilessly won ten world championships. They thought he would finally settle down after retiring, but instead he changed roles and kept dominating the competition. momo's devoted fans proudly puff out their chests: That's what a god is! No CP. Everyone has a one-sided crush on the protagonist and worships strength. The whole story revolves around the protagonist and his devoted fans and bootlickers. Career success all the way! [Protagonist profile: Admired and worshipped by millions without realizing it. Gentle and powerful, he is surrounded by admiring male and female fans wherever he goes. Everyone respects him. He has stunning looks and a touch of frailty, but only the first two parts of "beautiful, strong, and tragic" apply.] The game is original. Reader's guide: 1. A no-brain power fantasy. The protagonist is the strongest, period. Over the course of his career, he wins ten world championships and completes the Grand Slam in four major circuits. He earns an FMVP skin for every position and is unquestionably the greatest of all time. This game was made for him. 2. Every man and woman in the story is the protagonist's devoted fan and bootlicker. Everyone starts off with absolute favorability toward him because they admire strength. They're all momo-brained. 3. There's no romance, so readers can ship whoever they like. It doesn't matter. This story is just for fun, so ship any couples you want. Players in competitive gaming ship each other all the time anyway. The most important thing is for readers to enjoy the story. There aren't that many rules. Important: No real-life inspirations. I just wanted to indulge myself. Don't project this story onto real life. Esports in reality isn't this wonderful. Regret and tears are its defining colors. You'll soon come to your senses when your favorite team loses. (Blurb written on September 8, 2024, screenshot archived.) Theme: When you become powerful enough, you can break the rules.
