The Demon King Coach Gets Chased Down by the Jungler

My new novel, My Straight Best Friend Keeps Trying to Turn Me Gay!, is coming soon. The blurb is below. Please add it to your library~~

#Three-Time Champion Demon King Announces Retirement on the Eve of the Annual Finals# Even two years later, this topic still drew more discussion than anything else.

The great demon king Ling Mo led TGD, a team that had been runner-up for ages, to three consecutive championships in his first year as a pro. His signature move, "gentle slaughter," made him a legend in the league. Yet he announced his retirement on the eve of the annual finals, just one step away from becoming the youngest player to win every major title.

The "Demon King Era" of TGD came to an end, and Ling Mo became synonymous with betrayal.

-

The once-beloved Ling Mo had no idea he had a superfan.

To become Ling Mo's teammate and take the stage with him, Han Shi made a name for himself at the rookie tournament by taking down eight opponents in a row, then learned on the night he won the championship that Ling Mo had retired.

From then on, he turned down every team's offers and devoted himself to issuing challenges on his personal livestream, becoming a nightmare for streamers and pro players alike.

-

Two years later, TGD officially announced that it was selling its league spot. Rumor had it that some sucker of an owner had spent a fortune buying the failing team, whose cooking auntie had already jumped ship to the team next door.

No player with any sense would join TGD at a time like this and try to rebuild it.

But Han Shi was the first to submit his resume to TGD publicly on his stream.

Before Ling Mo's comeback, Han Shi was like this:

The powerhouse teams: "Come play for us, and you can name your signing bonus!"

The top teams: "Come play for us, and you'll start right away!"

The championship teams: "Come play for us, and we'll build our tactics around you!"

Han Shi: "No."

After Ling Mo's comeback, Han Shi was like this:

Han Shi: "Big Bro, I want to join TGD."

Han Shi: "Can I, Big Bro?"

Han Shi: "I can try out. Watch me play, then decide."

Han Shi: "Why aren't you replying, Big Bro?"

The other teams were all devastated: "??????"

A notorious menace to all in public, a little sweetheart in private, the king of the jungle and his biggest fan seme x the strongest player in the league, a demon king coach who blushes at the slightest flirtation uke

1v1, happy ending~

The game heroes are inspired by Honor of Kings. The competition format, game modes, and setting include a few original elements, and the game versions are all mixed together. Everything is designed to serve the story, so please bear with me~

I'll do my best to explain the game scenes without too much rambling, so readers who play games and those who don't can follow along. But it's okay if you don't understand every detail. Just enjoy the fun.

There are more everyday scenes in the early chapters, with the competitions starting around the middle. Later on, the two will alternate~

Some teammates will get their moments to shine, but not too much. After all, this is a team game. TGD will grow into a well-rounded team in service of the story!~

No real-life inspirations. Really, none.

My Straight Best Friend Keeps Trying to Turn Me Gay!

Xu Yi opened his eyes to find himself lying in a man's bed. The man was a stranger, but handsome.

He had transmigrated into an esports novel as the scumbag ex-boyfriend of the genius male lead. In the original story, the scumbag couldn't win the male lead's affection, so he got him drunk under false pretenses, pretended they'd slept together, and used it to force the male lead to take responsibility for him.

Even after they started dating, he kept flirting with other people and getting into trouble, eventually causing the male lead to get injured and nearly miss his prime. Then the scumbag was the one who broke up with him, saying, "Being with you puts too much pressure on me."

Xu Yi: ??? Could a decent person really say something like that?!

But there was no going back now. Xu Yi resolved to protect the genius's love life, change his miserable fate, keep him straight, and help Chinese esports thrive!

This was his plan:

First, keep up the scumbag act until the genius hated him.

Then, gradually make himself less noticeable until the genius forgot about him!

But after trying everything he could think of, Xu Yi was surprised to discover that the genius wasn't staying away. Instead, the way he looked at Xu Yi grew more and more suggestive???

I'm straight! You're straight too, genius!!

-

As the original author of the novel, Jiang Qihan had transmigrated into its main character and felt indifferent toward everything around him, himself included, until the scumbag suddenly vanished from his bed.

The man who should have been doing everything he could to pursue Jiang Qihan had suddenly started avoiding him. Jiang Qihan couldn't help wondering: had something really happened between them that night? Had he been disappointed by Jiang Qihan's performance?

Although the scumbag still seemed like a womanizer on the surface, he was actually awkward and inexperienced, unable to hide the innocence and kindness that slipped out by accident.

But this was nothing like the scumbag who had betrayed and abandoned the male lead in the original story.

For the first time, both in the past and now, Jiang Qihan felt such an intense possessiveness toward just one person.

-

In the original story, the scumbag did whatever it took to get close to Jiang Qihan, even moving into the team house.

In real life, Xu Yi worked like crazy to earn money and move out of the team house to get away from Jiang Qihan.

He took every job he could find, seeming busier than the team owner, until he landed an assignment from the league to film a player's daily life.

The player was Jiang Qihan, and the requirements were: 24 hours, up close, nonstop filming.

Living in the same building turned into living together. Jiang Qihan, who still had to get up early for work during the off-season, suddenly felt much better.

-

At a team dinner, Xu Yi lost a game and was punished with a round of truth or dare. The question he drew was one everyone already knew: his sexual orientation.

After a few drinks, Xu Yi answered with a completely straight face: "I'm straight, straight as an iron rod. I'm straighter than Highway 215!"

Jiang Qihan, who had written the scumbag character himself: "?"

Xu Yi's childhood friend, who'd watched him be gay for more than ten years: "???"

At the end of the next round, Jiang Qihan, the game's reigning champion, somehow lost. Without showing it, he drew the card with the slightly curled corner.

The genius's sexual orientation: now that was a bombshell of a question. Everyone watched with starry eyes, holding their breath.

Jiang Qihan said leisurely, "I like purple."

Everyone: Who asked what your favorite color was!

Jiang Qihan raised his eyes to look at Xu Yi and added solemnly, "Gay purple."

Xu Yi's eyes slowly widened: What purple???

A scheming, playful flirt who doesn't care if he lives or dies seme x a pure and sensual uke with nothing going for him except trying to survive, unaware of his own feelings

---Reader's Guide---

1. Both leads transmigrate into a book. Sweet 1v1.

2. The uke is simply a fan who admires the original male lead as a genius.

3. The game is a fictional 5v5 MOBA, and the game content and tournament setting are entirely fictional. But the game is only a backdrop. This isn't an esports novel, and there won't be long, detailed match descriptions.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything~

Theme: Leave no regrets, and bravely move forward
