Red Cliffs: I Got Stuck in the Game After Clearing It

Lin Su, an overworked office worker and veteran of the game Red Cliffs for ten years, transmigrated by accident on the eve of the classic server's launch. He became a “Level 1 Refugee” who had squeezed in through a bug when the server was full. With no class and only his weapons, a spear for charges and a crossbow for sniping, he had to survive in this realistic Three Kingdoms war MMO using the strategy guides he'd memorized ten years ago. But when the NPCs gained souls, famous generals were no longer just dungeon bosses, Zhuge Liang really could borrow the east wind, and Zhou Yu's naval camp really did shoot spies on sight, Lin Su realized this was no longer a game. It was an epic of the Three Kingdoms unfolding in real time. To stay alive, he exploited bugs to snatch quests and built up his reputation with Wei, Shu, and Wu alike. To grow stronger, he ventured deep into Yunmeng Marsh, honing his spear and crossbow skills in bandit hideouts. He had planned to develop quietly, but his skill with an “unorthodox spear” caught the eye of Wu's female general Shen Qizhou, earned him a wanted notice from the Wei warlord Tang Zhao, and even prompted Zhuge Liang to remark, “This man is not part of Heaven's design.” As the chained ships at Red Cliffs burst into towering flames and the beauty route at the Bronze Sparrow Terrace quietly began, Lin Su tightened his grip on his spear and looked at the faction battle notices filling the screen. A smile tugged at his lips. “Since I've transmigrated here, I'll fight this Battle of Red Cliffs myself.” Weapons are your class, and national war is your destiny. This time, he would fight his way through the entire Three Kingdoms, starting as a Level 1 Refugee.
