[The King's Avatar] Battling Across the Continent of Glory After Retirement

[Some Arknights background, but you can still enjoy this without playing]

Lu Xiao, who struggled to survive on Terra, died at last, then somehow came back to life:

It's good to be alive. And if you're alive, Earth is the place to be.

After entering the world of Terra because of some godforsaken game, she worked herself to the bone until she died, then retired. At long last, she made it home. It wasn't her original home, but at least it was still Earth.

With a pension whose amount was as long as a phone number, Lu Xiao suppressed her urge to cause trouble and wandered around until she became a Glory gaming addict. (A girl?)

*The timeline starts with the semifinals of Season Five. The extra chapters will reach Season Ten, though I'll skip ahead in places. The early part focuses on online gaming, while the middle and later parts are about competitions. I have some ideas for the team, but I'm still torn between two options. I've already written part of the plot for one of them, up to the betrayal, but I think the other has plenty of potential too. I'll decide when I get there.

*There are lots of original characters and matches early on. I'll fill in and expand on the many parts Blue has only briefly touched on, and I'll mention any added worldbuilding and content in the author's notes at the end of each chapter~

*I love doing research, so I'll try to keep all the details consistent with the original.

P.S. I'll do my best to get the details right, and I'll fix anything that differs from the original as I go.

P.P.S. If I just can't get something right, then never mind. =.=

*As things stand, there won't be romance in the main story. It's all about teammates and hand-holding. But, but, I'm a die-hard Ye Qiu fan, so I've already written an extra chapter for someone, plus an extra chapter to that extra chapter. It's longer than the main story I've written so far... I'm on my knees TT

*I started working on the setting and first draft in 2022. Lu Xiao was originally meant to be the Doctor themself. But this year, the Babel storyline in Arknights betrayed me so badly that I had to rewrite it. The Glory belongs to Blue, the OOC belongs to me, and the betrayal belongs to Hypergryph :)

*The heroine plays a greatsword swordsman because there's a game on my phone called Arknights: Frontline (just kidding).

Theme: As long as life goes on, the battle never ends
