Times are changing, Heaven is developing, faith is fading, and the immortals... are being sent out on assignment.
At this time of abundant vitality and vigorous growth, Nezha seized the opportunity and took any position he could find working among mortals, joining the Heavenly Dao Development Group. In truth, he was trying to escape his suffocatingly affectionate birth family.
As it happened, Ao Lie, the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon King and Nezha's assigned contact, had lived among mortals for years and adapted completely to the times. He had become... an incurable hardcore gamer.
And so, Nezha, assigned as Ao Lie's roommate, naturally made gaming his entry point into modern mortal life.
Three months, two Switches, two high-end gaming PCs, and Nezha had begun his life in the gaming world from scratch...
A year later, Li Jing finally found his youngest son, who had run away from home and was living among mortals. Watching Nezha, the star player of Heavenly Dao Entertainment, top player in the Investiture of the Gods simulator, and most-followed full-dive gamer on the internet, Li Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought:
Had our meticulous protection really been an obstacle in our youngest son's path?
· The protagonist has no romantic pairing, but some side characters do.
· This is my take on Nezha, probably a combination of Nezha from The Legend of Luo Xiaohei and Non-Human.
· This is a new story following [Honghuang: My Nemesis Is My Wife]. It uses the same setting and the author's original interpretations. It differs a little from orthodox Honghuang stories and the original Investiture of the Gods, but you can read this without reading the previous story.
· This Nezha won't forgive Li Jing, but has acknowledged their father-son relationship. For the specific changes during the Investiture of the Gods era, see the previous story.
· The author's next long story will begin once it reaches 350 advance readers. In the meantime, I'll write a few short stories for a change of pace.
