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.

Qiao Nan unified the devil race, pacified the human world, and almost killed the gods when the “Sacred Realm” was deleted.

Qiao Nan, who should have been ejected from the game, was trapped in the game, experiencing one censored internal test after another.

During this period, Qiao Nan changed countless camps, magic, elves, sea, human, and even the divine realm, relying on the deletion of the file, but also recklessly increasing the goodwill of the NPCs and races.

Then on a day when Qiao Nan was quietly unaware, “Sanctuary” was publicly tested.

Thinking the file had been again, Qiao Nan once again chose the Demon camp.

The man who was appointed by him as the Archduke of the Demon Clan knelt down on one knee and kissed his hand.

Welcome back, my king

Qiao Nan: ????

However, the situation was still much more than that, and when he went to the other races, he found that things seemed to be a bit big.

Being listed among the top 500 in the country? Being listed among the the top 500 in the world? Or, becoming a boss-level entity that transcends nations, ruling the world as de facto rulers, just like those companies listed below?

The Umbrella Corporation in ‘Resident Evil’, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation in ‘Alien’, the Concordance Extraction Corporation in ‘Dead Space’, Gentek in ‘Prototype’, Vault-Tec in ‘Fallout’, the Shinra Company in ‘Final Fantasy 7’…

Zhang Heng’s goal was to have his company listed among all those giants mentioned above, even eclipsing all of them in terms of size and achievements.

Regular people might not be able to achieve such a goal, but what about a person who possess all of that ‘black tech’ developed by the aforementioned corporate entities?

The company named ‘Stellar Biotech Corporation’ is founded by one such person, a man who goes on a crusade of monopolizing all aspects of development of civilization—medicine, biology, physics, philosophy, you name it—at an unprecedented rate, eventually becoming a goliath that would transcend nations and monopolize every single aspect of human technological development! <<less

Fortunately, the Game Treasury System awakened, allowing me to climb to the throne of the Game King by creating hit games!

So, the goal of this Game Director is to expand and create brilliance once again!

When a laid-back CEO encounters a determined game designer, the company's direction gradually becomes abstract.

"You said no one plays mech games? What is this 'Titan's Fall' you created?"

"You said the horror game market is lacking? What's the deal with this 'Escape' game?"

"You said second-generation shooters are easy to lose money? Are you remaking 'Call of Duty'?"

As Shen Miaomiao looked at the profitable financial reports, her mind buzzed.

Not a single penny was lost, so she made up her mind!

"From now on, let's torture the players mercilessly!"

She couldn't believe that she couldn't lose this money!

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. Just like sharpening a knife is necessary for efficient cutting, training and preparation are crucial in esports, but they should not become an excuse for procrastination or hesitation. It highlights the balance between preparation and execution in the world of competitive gaming. <<less
