Ten thousand years later, ice has melted.

In the era of popular esports, a globally popular game called "Destiny" was born.... more>>

This is a close-quarters holographic reality game with a focus on cold weapons such as swords, spears, guns, bows, and other melee weapons.

The charm of close combat, the interplay of flashing blades and shadows, the brutal battle where only one survives out of a hundred, captivate players and make the major world esports tournaments thrive.

Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, wakes up from slumber and finds himself in a strange world, becoming an ordinary student at the Capital Esports Academy, endlessly worrying about how to reach Silver rank.

As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, broadsword, silver spear, dagger, long whip, and more in the game... Chen Xingran falls into contemplation.

"I'm familiar with this."

Thus, in "Destiny," a formidable specialist in weapons emerges.

His swordsmanship is sharp and elusive, his heavy sword has no edge, his gun moves like a dragon, and his dagger is as agile as a serpent... No matter how challenging the weapon is, it becomes a magnificent and dangerous performance in his hands.

"A Tang Sword is not used like this."

"Protecting teammates? Not necessary."

"Isn't it enough to eliminate all the enemies?"

...

In the world of "Destiny," a legend begins to spread about a fearsome demon king.

It is said that every professional player who faces him in combat meets a tragic end...

However, the good news is that this demon king seems incapable of using ranged weapons?

His archery skills are astonishing. Even with a rapid-firing crossbow, he can't hit a single shot, earning him the title of the "Master of Human Outline Drawing."

Yang Yunchen, the former champion of the FPS World Championship and hailed as the number one marksman, says this while watching the young man who effortlessly takes on three opponents with a Tang Sword.

"Why need ranged weapons when I'm here?"

The blushing young man, finished with the fight and sharpening his sword, chases after him and slashes three blocks.

PS:

1. This is a fictional holographic close-quarters battle royale game with many imaginative elements. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the story.

2. Game skills and settings are inspired by games like "Eternal Punishment," "Apex Legends," "Overwatch," and others.

3. The weapon master is invincible in close combat but terrible at using guns, while the archer never misses a shot. They pretend to be weak and rely on their spouse, the cunning world champion, to save them.

4. This story doesn't follow the typical trope of the protagonist being overwhelmingly strong. There may be initial setbacks, but later on, the characters reach their full potential and dominate the game, creating various highlights. Please avoid making assumptions about the author and enjoy the story and comments harmoniously. Thank you.

Title: The phrase "磨刀不误砍菜弓[电竞]" in Chinese is an idiomatic expression commonly used in the context of eSports. It translates to "Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the cutting of vegetables with the bow [eSports]."

This phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of preparation and practice in esports. It means that even though it is essential to hone your skills and improve your strategies, it should not hinder you from taking immediate action and engaging in competitive gaming.

Xu Qingran agrees, determined to fight back fiercely.

He then becomes a master at ruining others' plans.

The system advises, "Act obedient to win back your father's love and reclaim the wealth left by your biological mother!"

Xu Qingran responds, "Alright, I'll be obedient."

He kicks open the door, confronting the despicable couple occupying his mother's property, demanding, "Will you leave peacefully or be carried out?"

Outside, people label him as a jealous brother, disruptive and ill-tempered, a notorious young master of the Yin Long faction.

The system says, "You have a natural advantage in appearance. Just act like a 'green tea' character, clear your name, and you'll be more beloved!"

However, Xu Qingran not only counters all accusations but also outmaneuvers every 'green tea' character and intimidates even the haughty Third Prince.

Moreover, he was diagnosed with a deficiency in spiritual power. As a Guide without spiritual power, he became infamous across the galaxy overnight, a laughingstock of colossal proportions.... more>>

The Lin family paid a hefty sum to the noble academy to enroll him, out of sight and out of mind.

At school, the young master was ridiculed at every turn. He was everyone's target, looked down upon, and easily insulted as a "good-for-nothing."

Lin Fu, the transmigrator, faced with such circumstances, withdrew from the noble academy overnight, reclaiming his exorbitant tuition fees and knocking on the neighboring military academy's doors.

The Sentinel who opened the door was dumbfounded, staring at the frail-looking little Guide before him.

Little Guide: "Hello, I'm here to attend the military academy."

Artemis Military Academy had an addition to its ranks—a Guide without spiritual power.

The same individual who once became an interstellar laughingstock.

On the combined military training competition field, he piloted a mech, slashing through enemies with a dark, lightless steel giant, boldly confronting S-class Sentinels and securing the final victory, stunning the interstellar populace.

Everyone knew that Guides, with their fragile physiques, couldn't pilot mechs or engage in frontline combat. Yet, this Guide was an exception.

After the training competition, the visiting Brigadier General was nowhere to be found.

Half an hour later, when he reappeared, his face bore a bright red slap mark.

“The identity of that hero – the ‘Black Knight’ – is actually the disgrace of the Marquis family. I heard that, Master.”... more>>

“ Damn it!!!!”

In a noble knight family that has produced many talented people, including heroes and knight commanders, there was a boy.

Adele had no talents and lived a self-indulgent life, and for this reason, both his family and the world called him a “disgrace”

However, it turns out that Adele is actually a hero who has been saving people – a “black knight.”

“Oh no, if this continues, I will be given a free one-way ticket to the carriage road ……!”

“It seems that the head of the house and his family are rushing back to the mansion, so there is no escape.”

If word spreads that the disgrace of the marquis family is actually a hero who has saved the lives of others, he will definitely be made to play an active role as a knight because of his family’s status.

If that happens, the carefree life he wants will be far away.

So…

“That’s right, let’s run away to the academy!”

The school is a boarding school for three years.

It is the perfect place to escape to until things cool down.

Therefore, Adele decided to enter the school.

However…

“Huh!? Are they seriously going to expel me if I don’t put my mind to it?!”

“Fufu, then you have no choice but to be serious, …… master♪”

The best academy in the kingdom is a merits-based school that refuses to accept the weak.

What will happen if that “Black Knight” gets serious?

And even though the hero attends the school, he is still kind, but will he be able to leave the troubled people he encounters one after another, such as princesses, saints, and siblings he hasn’t seen in a long time?

“I don’t think you can. …… Well, that’s the reason why I fell in love with you♪”
