Healer, Why Is Your Healing Power Negative?

[This story is meant to be a light dessert after a meal. Saving the world is exhausting, so let the heroine relax and play a game for a while! It's a fairly traditional online-game story, set in a full-immersion ancient fantasy MMORPG. No esports, transmigration, or rebirth elements. It's lighthearted, so don't overthink the logic. Some groundwork will be laid for the world of the main course, the Unfading World, but it won't be explored in detail.] Ji Dongfeng never expected to be one in a hundred million lucky winners. With a casual draw, she won a trial access bundle for the beta of Fusheng, the world's first full-immersion online game, in a sweepstakes with over a hundred million participants. Then... she somehow chose a class dedicated to healing the world, stumbled into an adventure, and turned all her healing skills into damage skills. She also somehow ended up at the top of her sect's cultivation rankings, with the stats to prove it. And yet "Hey, Huajuan the healer, could you stop slacking off? Isn't it fun to keep wiping and getting jailed?" Ji Dongfeng looked up at the title above her head: "Damage Dealer, Not Healer." Did no one realize she was the top damage dealer? After being blamed time and time again, Lone Wolf Ji finally found a regular raid team of her own. Her ID was starting to get known, too, so she could finally leave behind a career of being blamed whenever a run went wrong. And yet How could a group of people be rulers in their own right when separate, but together... All I can say is, five lone wolves with absolutely no teamwork. Ji: What's wrong with leading the charge and wiping while we're exploring? Note: 1. Some of the online-game setting borrows from the world of the author’s Celestial Moon series, in the next-door column. It has nothing to do with the main plot, and you can read this without knowing the series. Some gameplay elements are also inspired by MMORPGs. 2. The protagonist's party is all female, but the player base is not. Most of the characters who appear are women; a few background cannon fodder characters used for satire or allusion may be male. 3. Relationships between characters are platonic by default. The ensemble story about the main cast mainly unfolds in the second half. (Platonic means non-romantic, not a euphemism for something suggestive. How did this strange misunderstanding even start?) 4. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all characters, including passersby, are women. Gender-neutral terms are also assumed to refer to women, such as player, expert, young man, teammate, and teacher.
