“Clang.”

The bus door shut behind Lin Xuan as he walked away from the bus stop, heading towards the entrance of the residential complex. After scanning his access card, he proceeded to the right, his gaze wandering through the gaps in the tree canopy, casually scanning the building numbers on the wall.

Building 7, Unit 1.

Recognizing the familiar numbers, Lin Xuan changed his direction, walked downstairs, and glanced up to confirm his destination. Only after verifying the accuracy of his destination did he reach into his pocket, retrieve his proximity card, and place it on the access machine. A “beep” sounded, and the glass door beside him began to slide open.

With relief, Lin Xuan entered the first-floor lobby with his backpack. Turning left, he saw the elevator. Upon entering, he first closed the door and then examined the array of digital buttons, locating the button for the 10th floor. He gently pressed it.

The elevator began to rise slowly.

The red numbers on the display changed steadily.

“Ding.”

The elevator doors opened on the 10th floor, and Lin Xuan retrieved his keys to unlock the door of Room 1002.

The living room, decorated with exquisite details, was bright and cozy, yet empty. With a silent sigh of relief, Lin Xuan breathed that no one was around, sparing him the need to adjust to their presence. A troubled sigh escaped his lips as he replaced his shoes with slippers and walked towards the sofa. He absentmindedly threw his backpack onto the sofa after not carrying it for who knew how many years. Sitting down, he gazed at his reflection on the TV screen, lost in thought.

It had been over two months since he had arrived in this world, and Lin Xuan had accepted the fact that he had traveled to a parallel universe. However, he still found it difficult to fully adapt to his new surroundings and family setup. His environment had shifted from the hospital to his new home. His parents had divorced but had not lost their zest for life. They had moved on and remarried, with his father finding a new wife who helped them live a fulfilling life. Under her guidance, Lin Xuan had not only stayed on track academically but also excelled in his studies.

Moreover, he now had a younger sister who shared no blood ties with him. Despite being unrelated by blood, their bond was strong and deepened through shared experiences and care. The thought of his sister - her presence in this new world - filled him with mixed emotions as he looked forward to getting to know her better and sharing life’s joys and challenges with her in this parallel universe where they were both residents together under one roof without any biological ties binding them together.

Lin Xuan looked at the home that was completely different from his memories. He glanced at the family photo hanging in a prominent place in the living room, rubbed his temples, sighed, and stood up. Carrying his backpack, he planned to go back to his room first.

Just as he turned around, the door of the room on his right, with a cute purple character "Qian" in artistic font, suddenly opened. A beautiful girl in a purple fringed skirt hurriedly ran out.

Her black and shiny hair flowed like silk, and her face was pure and exquisite. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her skin was as white as snow. Despite her slightly immature appearance, she was enough to make a strong impact on people’s hearts.

In this world, due to reorganizing the family, a girl named Jiang Qianyu who did not exist in his memories became his younger sister without any blood ties.

Lin Xuan tried to put on a smile, but Jiang Qianyu didn’t pay much attention to him. She only glanced at him briefly, knowing that he had been strange since the car accident when he was hospitalized. Then she quickly picked up her skirt and rushed into the nearby bathroom on her flip-flops with a quick pattering sound.

Lin Xuan smiled helplessly and was about to leave when he heard a familiar female voice from his sister’s open-door room: “ACE!”

He was slightly taken aback and glanced at the bathroom, “Can you win without someone or are you being wiped out by the other team?” He pondered aloud without expecting an answer to this idle thought.

Not thinking much about it, he pushed open the door marked with the same cute and slanted character “Xuan” in brown in the adjacent room and walked into his room. He threw his backpack on the bed and lay down. Lin Xuan continued to stare blankly into space for about a minute or two before he suddenly heard a scream from his sister’s room next door: “Ah!”

He was momentarily stunned and listened carefully.

“It’s driving me crazy! I failed to make it again…”

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but laugh. Such Jiang Qianyu was undoubtedly not very ladylike. It was probably a scene that could not be imagined by the boys in her school who regarded her as a goddess. However, it was undoubtedly very real because Lin Xuan understood this feeling very well.

The days of conquering the Summoner’s Rift!

Lin Xuan let out a long sigh. When his parents divorced, he was only five years old. After the divorce, his father became more depressed, sought solace in alcohol, and became addicted to gambling while neglecting him completely. In such an environment, Lin Xuan could not focus on studying, and he began to frequent Internet cafes and became addicted to games from an early age in primary school. By high school, he was fully immersed in League of Legends and his academic performance suffered greatly.

However, as an old saying goes, “What is lost on one side is gained on the other.” Despite neglecting his studies, Lin Xuan exhibited great talent in gaming. He joined the youth training team of a top domestic club with dreams of becoming a professional gamer. After transitioning through multiple positions over the year, he finally started to gain recognition for his outstanding talent and hard work by making impressive plays and leading his team to victories. Unfortunately, an injury forced him to temporarily leave the game he loved so much for an extended period of time due to the rise of Korean imports in professional gaming circles which resulted in many strong local players being relegated to bench roles due to signing first-team contracts as Korean players were imported into clubs with their high-paying salaries and attitude issues that impacted team cohesion negatively while failing to communicate effectively with their teammates through language barriers creating more opportunities for domestic players who were waiting for their chance at playing time such as Lin Xuan who finally got his opportunity as a substitute AD player on a secondary league team after several failed attempts at changing positions within the team which never bore fruit until perhaps some divine intervention when two high-paying but unstable Korean players who were struggling with their teammates finally gave him an opportunity to play again after several seasons of poor performances that led to a collapse of their team including their AD carry and support players who were struggling with mental burnout leading up to their first game back on the field where he delivered an exciting Penta kill sequence that changed the game’s momentum in their favor!

After his return, he surprised the entire team, and he was seen to have an incredibly promising future, one that could impact the playoffs or even international events. He would have the opportunity to become one of the top professional players in the country and even the world.

But the magic and uncertainty of fate lie in the fact that you never know what will happen in the next second.

The first Korean player subsequently made several provocations against him, culminating in a physical altercation.

The conflict was broadcast live by other players and caused a huge wave. The club, which had been turning a blind eye to it, had to intervene. The final result seemed fair, but it was a mere drop in the bucket for the other player but a significant amount of his monthly salary alongside his father’s.

In the new season, even though he performed better than the starting players in the limited number of training matches, and even though several clubs extended offers to him during the break, the coaching team, mostly made up of Korean players, either strictly adhered to the first-team contract signed during the initial introduce foreign aid or had some understanding, still allowed the Korean player, who was not in his prime form but was earning several times his salary, to start.

He tried to tell himself it was because of his lack of experience, poor form, or shallow hero pool… and worked harder to practice, but there were no results.

Unable to bear it anymore, he finally exploded during a team meeting, but he directly provoked the management team. A player’s strength is too weak and insignificant when facing the club, and the outcome is foreseeable.

He went crazy like playing Rank games. His AD single-handedly rose to the forefront of Korean server masters. Before the end of the break, he received offers from other clubs. However, the club refused to let him go and made an outrageous transfer fee with no sincerity attached to it.

Cultivating young players is a way for clubs to make money. The contract signed was extremely harsh with no end in sight. No other team would be willing to pay such an exaggerated transfer fee. His choices were limited to being a substitute or retiring, and no matter which path he chose, he would not appear on the field again.

He thought that e-sports would compensate him. He thought he could rely on his efforts to create a good future without going to school. He thought he could lead a better life for himself and his father… But all turned into a bubble. His dreams shattered into nothingness after a night of heavy drinking. Upon waking up, he found himself here. A familiar yet strange world where everything has changed. With a strange family and an unfamiliar environment, except for his father and games, everything else was unfamiliar to him. Those familiar interfaces, sounds, heroes, and skills flashed through his mind as Lin Xuan hesitated to sit up and turned on his computer at the desktop. The screen flickered and displayed a completely unfamiliar wallpaper with red maple leaves covering the road leading to a beautiful figure of a girl in school uniform at the end. There were many icons on the desktop, but none were familiar ones.

“You are a good student.” Lin Xuan flashed the memories remaining in his mind and smiled. In another world, he was often absent from class and played games all day. After the final exam, when he was scolded by his father or asked about his grades, he did not have the desire to study hard. He just hadn’t expected to be a top student in this world.

He sighed and found the game download on the official website. The internet speed was fast, but after several updates, the league’s download package was also large and required a lot of time. Lin Xuan also browsed the news.

The familiar game has also changed here, such as being more popular, having a more complete professional system, and professional players being more prosperous. However, today, after hearing several classmates talk for half a day, it seemed that not only was the competition in the professional path more intense, but even applying for e-sports majors in universities was not so easy.

Some universities had opened e-sports majors in his previous life, but there were not many. Thanks to the more complete professional system and more job opportunities, the development of e-sports majors here was better, and many students wanted to apply for them. Lin Xuan’s class had several students who planned to apply for e-sports majors during the post-year college entrance examination.

The living room suddenly made a noise, and it should have been his parents who came back. Lin Xuan opened the door and took a look. Sure enough, his father Lin Yi sat on the sofa. His appearance and physique were the same as before, but his temperament and demeanor were slightly different. His father picked up a glass of water and asked, “Where is your sister?”

Lin Xuan knew from memory that his father was very fond of his younger sister Jiang Qianyu. He didn’t think it was a big deal because his stepmother Jiang Ya treated him just as well. If it weren’t for this, such a reorganized family wouldn’t be able to get along harmoniously.

“She’s in her room.” Lin Xuan pointed to the next room.

Lin Yi nodded and Lin Xuan asked, “Where is my mother?”

Lin Yi pointed to the bathroom, and Lin Xuan nodded as well. Then he saw his father shout, “Qianqian, Qianqian, are you in your room?”

Lin Xuan shrugged, closed the door, and returned to his room. He thought for a moment, took out his textbooks and homework from his backpack, and planned to finish the remaining homework first.

During his two months in the hospital, Lin Xuan had made up his mind about his next plan.

In his previous life, he played games because he liked them, but playing professionally was to earn money to live a better life with his father.

Turning a hobby into a profession is a painful thing!

So although Lin Xuan didn’t plan to leave the Summoner’s Rift, he didn’t intend to go for a professional route. Studying hard and playing games occasionally, taking on challenges, and carrying his sister, this kind of life is also very good.

Besides, League of Legends is also an IQ game. It’s not just about pure operation and reaction speed. To a certain extent, IQ and teamwork are the keys to victory. Reading more books is always right.

The game download progress on the screen slowly advanced.

Lin Xuan focused on his homework...
