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.

TN:

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.

It highlights the balance between preparation and execution in the world of competitive gaming. <<less

He had plenty of regrets.

The most regrettable thing was before it all began,

Lee Danwoo returned.

“A monster is about to trample thirty people in front of us. If you intervene, you’ll die, but they can survive. What will you do?”

Without hesitation, Cha Woowon answered Lee Danwoo’s question.

“Stopping it seems like the right judgment.”

‘This guy is a good bastard…’

More urgent than strategy or anything else, there was a pressing issue.

Why did Cha Woowon die in the [Last Dungeon]?

Without a doubt, it was his good personality that was the problem.

This time, Lee Danwoo would save him.

"F*ck, what the hell are you doing?"

"You think it's okay to discard people like old shoes?"

Who was the one who abandoned whom first?

"If you want to know what it feels like to crawl on all fours, go ahead and try running away again."

Shou’s Perspective ... more>>

The Zombie King found a job that seemed to never end, becoming the boss of the infinite world.

But on his first day, he was kidnapped into the infinite world as a player by a strange, tall man who had no heartbeat. Since then, he was forced to flee with the strange man. In the next moment, he found himself transformed into that strange man’s wife.

“This is my wife, Jiang Shishi,” the strange man introduced him.

The strange man was dressed in a decent suit that did not fail to highlight his handsome appearance.

“Three years ago, she had a car accident, and since then, she’s been mentally confused and wants to bite everyone when she sees them. She always likes beautiful clothes, and her initial skill is to change clothes with one click.”

Thus, the newly crowned Zombie King became ‘Jiang Shishi’.

The Zombie King couldn’t bear to hear the strange man’s words any longer. He opened his mouth and attempted to bite the man,

However, the bad guy’s skin was very hard and tough, and his teeth couldn’t break through it at all!!

“Shishi must behave like a good girl and absolutely not bite people!” The man smiled as he slowly pressed his cold lips against his ear, whispering like a lover, “If your mouth misbehaves, it’ll be tied up just like your legs. Okay?”

After enduring repeated beatings, the Zombie King found himself reduced to a state of mute and lame, akin to a powerless and incapacitated individual, forced to continue as the man’s submissive and voiceless spouse.

Gong’s Perspective

When the King of Zombies broke away from the control of the infinite world, he accidentally brought out a beautiful little mute zombie with jade-like golden appearance. With time running out, he had no choice but to take this person with him.

To blend more safely into the infinite world, the Zombie King, dresseed the little zombie in women’s clothes and presented them as husband and wife.

Carrying him along, their relationship evolved into one where they slept in the same coffin.

The cunning and sly King of Zombies (Attack, You Wusii) who loves to pretend and show off, possessing numerous secrets unknown to others, X the Zombie King (Jiang Shishi) who has no memory, no brains, and no inclination to think or learn, deceived by the main system to drain energy and work as a laborer.

Points to note:

Shou at initial stage was forced to act as women

Both Gong and Shou are king of Zombies but in different version. Like in game version 1.1 and version 2.1 <<less

"Who are you? Tell me how you got here."

A breathtakingly handsome man I had never seen before appeared before me.

'Is this the reward for clearing the SSS-rank quest?'

The warm food and comfy bed I’ve been dreaming of!

Thanks to him, I have a new goal.

'I will protect my reward!'

In a world filled with frail humans, I will carve out the seeds of destruction to live happily with my handsome husband.

Game Tester Mu Sichen was pitted and transmigrated into a holographic game. The game was an apocalyptic world after a cataclysmic event, where there were unnameable monsters everywhere, and they had divided the world into different towns.... more>>

The monsters had divided the world into different towns, and the survivors were scattered in these towns. Mu Sichen waved his pickaxe and swung it to kill an unidentifiable monster that terrorized the town.

A teary-eyed survivor took the tools and asked expectantly, “Won’t you lead us to build a home?”

Mu Sichen: “I am only a trainee, the ideal home is still to be built by you, I am only responsible for grabbing the site.”

So Mu Sichen carried his pickaxe through the different towns and snatched the territory, and accidentally snatched Qin Zhou, who was called “the last hope of mankind”.

The leader of the survivors chased after him, “You robbed the wrong person, Qin Zhou is the protector of our safe zone!”

Mu Sichen looked at Qin Zhou, who was holding him tightly. He was a bit silly. He seemed willing to be robbed by him-

The Qin family had a secret, they guarded human beings in the last ages with their strength. He was going crazy. Each person with the ability of “field” would eventually become an indescribable monster.

In order to delay the attack, Qin Zhou became weaker and weaker. Until one day, a man with a pickaxe came to the safety zone. Qin Zhou immediately hugged him and whispered, “Take me away quickly. ”

The man pinched Qin Zhou’s hand, “I can take you away, but loosen your grip, I’m a little out of breath.”

“Oh.” Qin Zhou agreed but his grip tightened. <<less
