《Glory e-sports》Chapter 217.2: Aced!
Advertisement
Bottom lane’s Piglet was Y1’s gentle and responsible one. Although he looked tall, built, and even a bit fierce, he revealed his balanced temperament every time he opened his mouth.
His voice was soothing, gentle, and polite. He could take care of himself even when left on his own in the bottom lane, and when there were two of them, he could take off and fly up to the heavens. When he grouped up into a team of three, then it was like a team pushing engine.
He was a player who could fight and avoid battle, who was good at the early stages and could also keep himself stable until the late stages. He was balanced in all aspects and was a very high quality player.
This was last year’s global championship team, the ceiling for Glory’s strength, and they were a truly strong team for which no flaws could be found.
Unsurprisingly, FTW lost the fight for the small silver dragon. When faced with Y1 who had all reached level 6, FTW could only attempt to avoid all of their attacks.
They cleared out their lanes from beneath their towers, and their jungle zones had been taken over. The gap in farm gradually increased.
Bai Cai gritted his teeth. “I can’t find any breakthrough points.”
Wei Xiao was finally able to pick up the river crab creep and snatch up some farm. “I’ll be level six soon.”
Bai Cai: “Try a wave of suppression in the mid-lane?”
Wei Xiao: “Bottom lane.”
Ning Zhehan had no way to go and provide support. If they didn’t pay attention to the bottom lane soon, then Yue Wenle was going to collapse.
Bai Cai nodded. “Okay!”
The shadow thief reached level six!
It was as though the other side had known that they would come. When Wei Xiao and Bai Cai arrived at the bottom lane, the berserker thief tossed out a scythe.
Wei Xiao’s heart quivered.
Brother Cai was more aware this round and positioned himself in front of Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao: “Not bad, Old Bai.”
His hands never stopped as he spoke, launching and stacking a combo of shadow attacks and assaults. The DPS ratio was already set up, and the light arcs were about to fill up the sky… suddenly, there was a crisp bang.
The shadow thief who was about to take off was shot down, the stacked damage was interrupted, and the light arcs were scattered!
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath.
Yuan Ze’s eyebrows raised up slightly from where he sat beside him, his dark eyes heated as he stared at the screen.
This wave of operations was enough to shake the chins off half of the professional players in the circle if it were to be clipped and released.
The elemental shaman’s totems had been tossed out too fiercely. That forced control totem made by trading in his own health was launched with finesse as fine as a strand of hair. Only Yan Jiang would dare to use it, and he managed to use it accurately, beating down the shadow thief from an almost impossible angle!
Wei Xiao wasn’t any ordinary player, either. Even if his combo was interrupted and he was caught unprepared, he was still able to stop the loss in time. Eight light arcs couldn’t be brushed out, but seven were still possible. He retreated and went for the second best option, stacking up seven light arcs at the last moment.

Even if it was just seven light arcs, even if the shadow thief was low levelled and had insufficient equipment, this attack still dealt considerable damage.
After all, they were still in the early stage of the game, and everyone had limited health. The berserker thief lost half of his health bar to the move.
Bai Cai managed to survive and quickly healed himself.
Wei Xiao: “Withdraw.”
It was impossible for them to try and fight. The berserker thief could deal continuous DPS, while the shadow thief needed a small recovery period after brushing out its light arcs. It was enough to be able to avoid death or injury without sending out a kill.
Although he was reckless, and although he could get in over his head, Yue Wenle was most willing to listen to Wei Xiao.
Yue Wenle had already started pulling away from their opponent with that one word.
However, Y1 didn’t intend to let them off.
The berserker thief shifted and burst in, using his scythe to lock in on him.
Bai Cai shuddered, “I think I…”
Sure enough, he was unable to dodge. This scythe was so accurate it made his scalp go numb.
Bai Cai’s heart pounded. “You guys go!” If he was going to die, then so be it. It was better for him to die than for Wei Xiao or Yue Wenle to die.
Wei Xiao had the feeling that something was off. He called out, “Old Yue…”
But it was too late. The berserker thief’s target wasn’t Bai Cai at all. He used Brother Cai as the springboard and locked in on Yue Wenle, who had limited mobility.
Yue Wenle hadn’t hesitated with his retreat, and there had been no delay, but he couldn’t stop the berserker thief from leaping to a spot behind Bai Cai, then to the big ‘treasure’ Bai Cai was protecting behind him.
Another scythe, launched at the maximum distance, locked into both people at the same time.
Yue Wenle: “……”
Wei Xiao gritted his teeth, “DPS!”
Yue Wenle reacted quickly and had already started to release skills. He was able to deal out the maximum amount of damage he could before he died.
Bai Cai also knew that he wouldn’t be able to get away. He tossed out a bubble tune to try and control the berserker thief, but unfortunately, the berserker thief who had no teammates close by wasn’t afraid of this 0.1 second of control. Once his berserker mode started up, he was able to tear up any squishy talents in an instant.
Wei Xiao was too far away for the berserker thief to hook into him.
However, how could he not try his best to recover this loss after seeing that Bai Cai and Yue Wenle were going to die?
At the moment when the berserker thief used up all his skills, Wei Xiao launched his attack. He avoided the damage from Y1’s marksman and stabbed out a critical hit from behind. The berserker thief who only had one third of his health left fell to the ground.
Two for one…
Although it was a loss, but…
No, wait!
Wei Xiao sucked in a breath, then used up all of his movement skills to escape the berserker thief’s scythe.
The berserker thief hadn’t died?
He had.
But he’d resurrected again!
One second before Wei Xiao killed him, the elemental shaman in the distance had used up almost all of his health to create a resurrection totem.

The berserker thief’s health had emptied out just as the totem landed.
His empty health bar triggered a resurrection, and the berserker thief stood back up again.
If Wei Xiao hadn’t avoided it quickly and had been locked in by his scythe, then he would’ve been killed on the spot by Y1’s marksman.
In this round of fighting at the bottom lane.
FTW suffered heavy losses!
This was the global championship team, this was Y1, this was the supernova team trained up by Y1!
When faced with such a downwind, Wei Xiao didn’t grow depressed. Instead, his fighting spirit soared to unprecedented highs.
Y1 wasn’t just going through the motions.
Yan Jiang wasn’t underestimating his opponents.
They respected FTW and were using their real strength.
Then, how could FTW not go all out!
Chen Feng sat at the sofa of the training room, his heart calm.
There was a definite gap in strength and experience. Even their levels of confidence were as different as heaven and earth.
But…
They didn’t panic.
Growth was an uphill battle. It was a difficult road to walk, but only by doing this could they see the scenery at the top of the mountain.
Chen Feng believed in today’s FTW, believed in the little ones, and he believed that they could walk and explore a path that belonged to them!
Y1 did what L&P couldn’t do in the last game. They suppressed the shadow thief and didn’t give Wei Xiao any chance to breathe.
The elemental shaman interrupted the light arcs.
His DPS was constrained by the berserker thief.
The mid, bottom, and top lanes all had airtight formations, and Wei Xiao seemed to be running into walls everywhere.
A real routine wasn’t a routine.
Y1’s play style was simple and rough. They relied on brute strength, and if this was what the game was like, then there would’ve been no problem opening up a live stream.
If anyone was able to play out this effect?
Then they could take the championship trophy and go home with it!
Was FTW finished for good?
No.
They hadn’t given up yet.
None of them could give up!
Even Salted Fish Bai had built up courage.
There was too much oppression, too much fire! When had Little Lunatic Wei ever suffered such grievances before!
Brother Cai was angry!
28 minutes into the game, there was a 6000 gold difference in farm between the two sides.
At first glance, this number sounded terrible. But in fact, it wasn’t so bad. When shared amongst the five members of the team, it meant that each of them were half a piece of finished equipment short.
Wei Xiao had worked very hard to ensure that his farm didn’t fall behind too much so that it wouldn’t be too big of a problem to try and cut down c-positions.
Lu Feng had given up some of his resources to Wei Xiao. Although it meant that he was a bit short, the divine warrior was more of a functional talent and could still be effective with low farm.
If they kept dragging the game out like this, then Y1 would nibble away at them and win the game.
Was it going to end like this?
Impossible!
Wei Xiao breathed in lightly. “Old Yue, drop the bottom lane.”
Bai Cai: “Gank?”
Lu Feng: “Be ready to teleport.”
The four little ones, “Okay!”
Another long three minutes passed. The harassed FTW seemed to be in a desperate situation, hovering on the brink of losing with no way to turn the tables.
Bai Cai: “Someone’s stepped into the river!” He’d inserted vision there.
Lu Feng was closest to the top jungle river channel. He stabbed out with his spear and landed a hit on Dxrus, who was in the bushes.
“Come.” The entire team pressed their transmission buttons at Close’s command.
F*ck him! If they didn’t fight back now, they would no longer have a chance.
Y1 could see what FTW intended to do. They weren’t anxious as they surveyed the scene, and then the five of them gathered together and sounded the drums of war.
The divine warrior charged in first, his buffs fully stacked up. He hefted his gun and flew at Dxrus while rushing to Y1’s back ranks.
Quas and Piglet had experienced the world and weren’t frightened by this sudden head-on assault.
They calmly shifted positions and dispersed the damage.
At the end of the day, the divine warrior was a functionality based warrior. It had mediocre DPS, and its strength lay in injury resistance and control.
Close had been quiet for the whole game, but he’d now finally found the right opportunity.
His spear stabbed through the air, and his divine miracle landed in the canyon. Under this unexpected ultimate and flash combo, he sent Y1’s core DPS position flying.
Yan Jiang’s totem was inserted right at the edge of his divine miracle skill, restoring most of his teammates’ health.
Quas threw his skills at Close.
Piglet stood steady, dealing non-stop DPS.
Bai Cai followed up quickly, tossing out all of his skills at the divine warrior. At the same time, he sent his bubble tune into the crowd to control their opponents.
The divine warrior had a skill that allowed him to share the damage being dealt. Brother Cai had arrived just in time, giving Lu Feng a chance to breathe.
Another spear shot out, and this time it sent the berserker thief flying!
One warrior and one priest was enough to disturb Y1’s formation!
Although they had to take on a lot of danger, they were still able to open up a bloody path for their teammates!
Wei Xiao fixed his eyes on Yan Jiang’s position. Taking advantage of the time when he tossed out the healing totem and had absolutely no time to create a control totem, he’d stacked up enough damage. Eight ars combined with Close’s divine miracle to create explosive damage applied huge pressure on the other team’s health bars. Y1’s overall state plummeted!
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were given enough of an opportunity to deal DPS. The berserker thief had taken down the divine warrior, but unfortunately, he’d been held up and couldn’t reach the mage and marksman off in the distance.
Wei Xiao pounced on Quas and sent him home.
Yan Jiang handed his resurrection to Piglet. Piglet lived up to his trust and achieved a double kill with his continuous shooting.
Bai Cai gave Wei Xiao his last bit of healing before falling to the ground. Wei Xiao used shadow attack and backstab and left Piglet seriously injured.
Yue Wenle took down Piglet before he died.
Wei Xiao locked in on Yan Jiang…
As those in front fall, those behind take up their positions.
Stepping on this road that the captain had opened up with blood, walking on steps formed by his teammates and corpses, Wei Xiao’s short blade pierced the elemental shaman’s chest!
Ace!
Y1 had been aced!

In the process Liu Zhu will come across lucky chances, have brushes with death, and slowly expand his world beyond that of the small country he lives in. NOTE: Currently dropped for various reasons. The short version of why I dropped it is because even the shortest form of my outlining resulted in a main plot of at least 300 - 400 chapters and I messed up massively by directly adapting it from my first attempt at this, which was a choose your own adventure on another website. It did not make the jump well at all imo.

The Apocalypse Show - Dungeon Core
There were lot's of ways that people had predicted that the world would end. A few even had it partially correct. But how could they have predicted it would be a combination of the system apocalypse and aliens. Specifially aliens that wanted to create the equivlant of a TV show about the system apocalypse on Earth. Arthur woke up with a headache and the option to create a character. Most people would have gone with the safe choice and selected to stay a human. Arthur suspected that wouldn't be the safe choice in his new world. Instead he decided to see what other races were available. Eventually he decided to become a dungeon core instead. Of course being a dungeon core comes with a number of challenges. Starting with the fact that he was a giant crystal instead of having a body, managing a bunch of unintelligent minons, and most importantly the reaction of his human neighbors when they discover him. If he can overcome these challenges he may be able to enjoy some of the benefits. Such as the fact that dungeon cores are immortal and he would eventually have an entire army of dungeon minions that would obey any of his commands. Perhaps even find some female companions that are looking for a safe place during the apocalypse. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, nudity, and sexual content. This isn't something you would find in the young adult section. This does not mean that this would be rated NC-17 or X, if that is what you are looking for try lewd dungeon.

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
