He should have had boundless prospects, but unfortunately, he was struck with a terminal illness and had to retire at the peak of his career.

Full of unwillingness, impulsiveness, and desperation… Jiang Chen decided to gamble his life, choosing to freeze himself.

Fang Jingxing cooperatively drew lots and ended up drawing the “Pretend to be a newbie.”

Under the watchful eyes of the viewers, he walked up to a player.

Fang Jingxing: “Boss, it’s my first time playing, can you carry me?”

Jiang Chen glanced at him: “Are you over ten years old?”

Fang Jingxing: “I am.”

Jiang Chen: “Alright, Daddy will carry you and show you how to dominate.”

Fans gathered around the stream: Hah, let’s see who ends up carrying whom!

Ten minutes later, Captain Fang and the fans watched collectively as he single-handedly subdued and struck the dungeon boss to the ground.

Fang Jingxing raised an eyebrow: Oho.

Fans: …Daddy! <<less

NOTE: This story has a Shounen-ai sub-plot. It is not explicit(actually quite vague and barely there. Better to term it as bromance) and can be overlooked.... more>>

The world champion of the holographic mecha battle game “Warfall” is announced, and Ji Mingzhu claims the throne with an overwhelming dominance, well-deservedly so.

However, before the trophy could even cool down in his hands, he opens his eyes and finds himself in another world.

Alien invasions, colossal monsters spreading throughout the world, humans forced to retreat to the Twelve Satellite Cities and establish fortified walls for survival.

Self-proclaimed immortal mysterious beings become the rulers, overlooking all beings from their sky cities.

Complex belief systems, hidden forces at work, intelligent AIs coexisting with humans, and people struggling to survive in a shattered prosperity…

And he, not only devoid of the memories of his original self, but upon opening his eyes, he is tasked with a dangerous mission of hostage rescue…

Ji Mingzhu: Well, it seems like I’m in for a rough ride.

When the battles approach, Ji Mingzhu sits inside the mecha and gazes at the c*ckpit filled with intricate circuits and control buttons.

Ji Mingzhu: It looks somewhat familiar.

Ji Mingzhu: …Isn’t this the interface from “Warfall”?

Question: When you suddenly find yourself in a world overrun by monsters after winning an eSports championship, facing a deadly start with no knowledge other than gaming, how do you deal with the perilous situation of being surrounded by wolves?

The young man sits in the Titan mecha, known as the “God of Mortals,” and loosens his gloves, skillfully manipulating the complex buttons above.

Then, under his control, the hundred-meter-tall Titan rushes towards the alien creatures, with the power core emitting a deafening hum, alloy blades tearing through the clouds like lightning, firepower systems pushed to the limit, and explosions and flames engulfing the Titan, resembling an ancient deity, its immense power eclipsing the sky.

Ji Mingzhu: Thanks for the invitation, but I think we can crank up the intensity a bit more.

…

PS:

1. This story leans towards the plot and has a minimal focus on romantic relationships. Please be aware if that’s not your preference.

2. In the original world of “Warfall,” the c*ckpit design is semi-holographic, allowing the protagonist to quickly adapt to operating a real mecha. This will be explained in the story.

“Yes, you.

“Come on, let’s fight, if I lose, I will call you ‘dad’!”
