National Fate: You Asked Me to Pick a Faction, and I Picked the Guy Who Sells Straw Sandals

Blue Star has been devastated, and history has been severed.

The Epic of National Destiny descends upon the whole world. Major historical events from every dynasty and era become deadly instance dungeons. The better a country’s players perform in a dungeon, the more resources their nation gains in reality. Otherwise, its national destiny declines and natural disasters descend!

The first dungeon, Heaven Is Dead, begins.

Faced with the Han dynasty’s powerful, well-equipped imperial forces, local magnates entrenched in fortified estates, and the Yellow Turban Army numbering in the tens of millions, players around the world scramble to join the faction with the greatest apparent strength.

The Eagle Country is ecstatic to join General-in-Chief He Jin, while the Cherry Blossom Country clings desperately to the side of General of the Center Lu Zhi.

Only Lin Ye, representing the Dragon Country, uses his meager starting funds at a slum market to buy a drink for a down-and-out shoe peddler.

The global livestream chat explodes.

“Has the Dragon Country player lost his mind? He turns down the regular heavy infantry just to cozy up to a shoe peddler?”

“Hahaha, you’re all doomed! Dragon Country, get ready for disaster!”

Then the day comes when an army of fifty thousand Yellow Turbans reaches the city walls. The foreign players are slaughtered by the regular army, routed and crying for their mothers.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye stands atop the city wall, dressed all in white.

The gates swing open. Before him stand only two burly men, one red and one black, as he charges into the enemy ranks on horseback.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade flashes, and an enemy general’s head is taken as easily as if plucking it from a bag. The Eighty-Two-Jin Serpent Spear sweeps through, instantly punching a hole through the army’s formation!

Watching the overseas livestream chat fall utterly silent, Lin Ye smiles faintly.

“Don’t panic. Let me introduce you. This is what they call a one-man army.”
