Synopsis
After being forced into retirement, former esports player, Ye Xiu, wasn’t sure he would ever return to the world of video games. Once the world’s best player of the multiplayer online video game, “Glory”, Ye Xiu stepped away from the game, giving up both the hard-earned title “Battle God” and his team, Excellent Dynasty. But not even a forced retirement could keep him away from the game for long.
Working as a night-shift manager at a local internet cafe, Ye Xiu tried to keep his distance from “Glory” but when the game launched its tenth server, Ye Xiu just couldn’t resist the temptation to create a character from scratch. With his early in-game achievements, Ye Xiu’s new character, Lord Grim, quickly captured the attention of the game’s players and guilds. Drawn to Lord Grim’s success, several talented players soon joined him in his quest to reach the top.
With a group of talented players at his side, Ye Xiu forms a powerful new guild that soon becomes the talk of the gaming world. With this new team at his side, will Ye Xiu finally reach the pinnacle of success, both in-game and in real life?
