A mystery left unresolved by TV dramas: Why do villains stop to taunt the hero when they're already about to win?
Then everyone heard the voice chat from Glass's semifinal match, where jungler Mu Chengan got carried away during a crucial game: "Don't push. Let's mess around a little longer. Wait till I spawn-kill them."
Mu Chengan was always mistaken for an Alpha, but in reality, he was an Omega who had yet to present despite being well past the usual age.
In matches, he specialized in flashy jungler heroes that made his opponents' scalps tingle. A nightmare for the backline, he had charged ahead as a dark horse from the moment he debuted, only to take a terrible fall in the semifinals due to his youthful arrogance. He abruptly left the team and disappeared without a trace, only rejoining two years later.
A newly hooked esports fan asked, "Who is this guy?"
Older fans started to worry. "He plays so recklessly. Can he adapt to the faster games after the latest changes to the meta?"
While everyone waited, excited or nervous, to see Mu Chengan create another "legendary moment," Glass captain Bian Hui complained about the nasty comments while patiently reminding him, "This match is crucial, so..."
The Omega player, whose features were sharp and strong, looked annoyed and covered his mouth, finishing the sentence for him. "Don't play recklessly, right?!"
On the day Mu Chengan returned to Glass for tryouts, the newly appointed Alpha captain, Bian Hui, stood casually with his hands in his pockets and glanced down at him. Unhurriedly, he turned him down. "The rumors say that two years ago you got jealous over an Omega, ignored the rules, and fought someone with your pheromones in the backstage area during a match. You both ended up in the hospital."
Mu Chengan: "That was a misunderstanding."
At that, Bian Hui casually raised his eyes, his dark, deep gaze full of scrutiny. He was about to press him for details when Mu Chengan, broad-shouldered and long-legged, a full 185 centimeters tall, suddenly stood up from his chair and bowed solemnly. "Pardon my rudeness."
"?"
Before Bian Hui could respond, someone grabbed him by the collar and yanked him forward. A strong hand pressed down on the back of his head, making his nose crash into the other man's hard collarbone. The sudden pain made his eyes well up, and he thought, This Alpha really is just like the rumors say!
He was about to fight his way free when the faint, pleasant scent of Omega pheromones reached his nose.
Bian Hui: "!!!"
He'd been tainted!
