Mu Hanzhi is widely recognized as the Alliance’s number one Ghostblade enthusiast. This isn’t about skill, but purely about her love of Ghostblades, which has earned her the title of Glory’s most devoted fan, with one condition: Ghostblades only. Other teams come up with all kinds of pre-match antics, from jokes and awkward singing to every trick in the book. But when it’s her turn, she always says the same thing: “Developers, buff Ghostblades!!” The funny thing is, her officially registered class in the Alliance is actually Elemental Mage. Before she debuted, her senior teammates told her again and again that Ghostblades had no future and she should give them up. Playing a Ghostblade against ranged opponents was pure torture. So in the end, she switched to Elemental Mage and led her team to the championship.
When she gave her victory speech as captain, Mu Hanzhi was on the verge of tears as she pleaded, “Developers, can you please buff Ghostblades?” And then she lost her championship.
Not because the officials were petty and took away her champion’s ring. She had transmigrated into an esports novel modeled on the real-world game Glory, becoming a background character. For a moment, she couldn’t decide whether to mourn the loss of her championship or worry about her bank balance soon hitting zero.
But in this world, she played a Ghostblade.
Mu Hanzhi accepted this reality in just 0.01 seconds. And so, in Season Six, she made a name for herself as Mu Chunfeng with her outstanding Elemental Mage play, and was named Season Six’s Best Rookie.
But wait, wasn’t she supposed to play a Ghostblade?
Part 1
At a press conference, a reporter asked Mu Hanzhi why she kept calling for Ghostblades to be buffed but rarely brought one into a match.
Reporter: “Miss Hanzhi, you’re always calling for Ghostblades to be buffed, but you almost exclusively play Elemental Mage. Is this just a way to draw attention to yourself?”
Hanzhi glanced at the manager.
Hanzhi: “Manager, manager, look, someone wants to see me play Ghostblade. I was thinking…”
Manager: “No, you weren’t.”
The manager answered firmly and forcefully, rejecting Hanzhi without a moment’s hesitation.
Manager: “Let me make this official: Hanzhi doesn’t play Ghostblade because Team Samsara needs an Elemental Mage more. So stop bringing up Ghostblade with her. She really does want to play it.”
Part 2
Wu Yuce looked at Mu Hanzhi with a grave expression, his tone more serious than ever.
Wu Yuce: “So which do you like more, Ghostblade or me?”
Hanzhi: “...Do you really have to ask something like that? Wuli Xinnaiji Jiji.”
Wu Yuce: “Don’t change the subject. Answer me.”
Hanzhi: “...Ghostblade.”
Wu Yuce: “?”
Li Xuan happened to pass by and decided to join the Ghostblade line’s conversation. He’d said he would play Ghostblade and suffer through a lifetime in prison, so how could he miss a moment like this?
Li Xuan: “Then date me. I don’t mind that you like Fengshan Guikui.”
Li Xuan: “I can be the other one.”
Wu Yuce typed out a question mark.
Part 3
“Who says every story has to have an ending?”
Third-person POV. OOC. Her classes are Elemental Mage and Ghostblade, but she’s a Ghostblade superfan. Paragraph comments are open. Team Samsara. Samsara wins the Season Seven championship, and Team 82 wins the Season Nine championship. Everything else stays the same. There’s a male character who’s the equivalent of a first love, but he won’t appear for a while. I’ll add anything else I think of later.
The cover is really nice. Did the author invite it?
