"You're really unlucky, huh."
An enemy hero stood not far away, striking the classic pose of a longsword knight.
He approached me while taunting nonstop.
'Voice chat with the enemy is enabled too?'
I'd seen allies voice chatting in normal games before, but never an enemy striking up a conversation like this.
"Checked your match history—you're a total newbie. Don't take it too hard. Your opponent's me, after all. It's like getting wet in the rain~"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Voice chat activated. AllyEnemy
'This should do it.'
I slowly advanced toward the taunting enemy, flicking my fingers mockingly.
"Acting all high and mighty, you fucking prick."
"...What? A girl?"
The opponent let out a sleazy laugh. To think that handsome face could pull off such an expression. VR really was something else.
"If you're a girl, go play support nicely in bot lane. How dare you crawl into a man's lane—top! Looks like someone needs to teach you some manners."
"Save your bullshit for your buddies."
"Call me 'oppa' right now. Who knows? I might go easy on you."
No point in talking more. I leaped forward, greatsword in hand.
Boom—!
A burst of acceleration.
I soared into the air and slammed down my greatsword. The enemy clearly hadn't expected the rush—he blocked late.
Clang—!
His guard faltered against the blade heavy with gravity and momentum. He staggered back, a black mark searing onto his body.
"Fuck...!"
I kicked off the ground to close in instantly.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Shadow Slash
Dark energy surges along the greatsword.
Black energy rose from the massive greatsword. The moment the blade was engulfed in darkness, I swung it wide.
"Argh!"
The horizontal slash struck the enemy's side. His armor blocked the blade, but not the raw impact.
He tumbled across the ground from the heavy blow. Off-balance after just two exchanges.
"Fuck...!"
He scrambled to get up, but I gave him no chance. I charged and smashed the flat of my blade into his face.
Bam!
He face-planted. I mounted him and thrust the greatsword through the gap in his shattered armor.
Stab—!
The tip pierced his body easily. Half-severed at the waist, the enemy died.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ First Blood
The victory fanfare echoed across the battlefield.
'Hope that streamer Elena likes it.'
She had nothing to do with me, but who knew? She might remember me later and do a collab. It'd help my sister's stream grow too.
"Waaaaaaaaa—!"
Minions charged down the top lane. Enemy and allied soldiers clashed.
Whoosh—!
The hero dwarfed the minions. Each swing of my sword pushed their line back bit by bit.
Slash—!
I cut down sword-and-shield minions and picked off the archers behind them.
"You fucking bastard—!!!"
A voice thick with rage. The enemy hero I'd just killed respawned and charged back with his minions.
✨ LEVEL UP! ✨ Lv. ? → Lv. ?
The moment I cleared six minions, I leveled up. I mentally assigned my skill point and raised my greatsword.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Shadow Leap
Body engulfed in darkness. Explosive acceleration.
My body turned pitch black. I launched off the ground like a spring, hurtling toward the enemy hero.
Clang—!
The momentum-charged greatsword tore through the air and smashed his torso dead-on. A heavy thud resounded.
Rumble—!
He slid back from the impact. His metal boots scraped the dirt, kicking up dust. I used the obscured vision to close in.
Whoosh—!
I raised my greatsword diagonally at the sound slicing the air.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere with the sharp metallic clash.
"Knew you'd do that, you bitch!"
The voice came from beyond the dust.
"Guess you're not a complete retard after all."
He seemed to have basic combat knowledge. Otherwise, he couldn't have reacted like that.
"Pathetic. I was careless before. For real, you're no match. Got it, retard?"
"Yeah? Then show me your 'real' game."
I charged, grinding the earth.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Shadow Slash
The blade blackened. Through the settling dust, I saw him desperately retreating.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Shadow Leap
I bridged the slight gap with another skill.
Boom—!
His body rolled across the ground from the greatsword hit. After several rolls, he twitched. He propped himself up with one hand, lifting his head.
Thwack!
"Guh!"
I kicked his head. With a crunch, his body crumpled. I stomped his gut and plunged the greatsword down.
Stab—!
The blade pierced through the shattered armor. Blood sprayed as he met his end.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Enemy eliminated.
"...Boring."
I'd expected competitive to differ from normals. I wasn't even hoping for a win—just some resistance. Guess that was wishful thinking.
"Tch."
Lost interest. Time to end this game quick.

Elena stared blankly at the crumbling nexus.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ Game Time21:42
Only 20 minutes since the game started. Yet it was already ending.
"...Is this for real?"
The cause? Top laner 'Carrier.'
"A newbie who just finished their first normals absolutely demolishes—not just beats—a Master top laner, soul and all... Is this even possible?"
💬 Chat — Viewer1 Can't believe it. — Viewer2 His trash talk was legit lololol. — Viewer3 Damn, he's insanely good;;; — Viewer4 First time seeing Kairon played like that at this tier. — Viewer5 Even Masters don't have that skill level...
The viewers were just as shocked.
Everyone predicted defeat. For a newbie top to turn it around? Unthinkable!
And the opponent was that infamous Elena sniper, a Master vet—the demon who always shredded her allied tops.
— [Enemy] SpyOfTheMoon Ah, seriously, top kid shat the bed and now the game's fucked?] — [Enemy] GuestOfACentury Told you not to overextend, stick to tower. But nooo, you keep diving lololol] — [Enemy] OopsHappened Whispers show he's a streamer sniper lol just leave and die ffs]
Yet that guy was getting flamed hard.
"...Gonna disable all chat this game."
The toxicity was escalating. No choice—she turned it off. Not a pretty sight.
— Viewer Feels so good seeing the troll get rekt lol — Viewer Loving the toxic sniper getting owned lol — Viewer Toxic sniper BTFO!!! 💸 Donation [Nickname: Anonymous] donated 10,000G! Thumbs up for Elana feeling refreshed rn lol
"Thumbs up."
She smirked and gave a thumbs up. Honestly, seeing her tormentor get flamed felt great.
"Didn't think we'd actually win, though. Figured it'd be a close stall at best..."
💸 Donation [Nickname: Anonymous] donated 5,000G! "No special reason, just queueing? I'll carry." << And it was real ㅇㅇ; — Viewer Cya~~~~~~ — Viewer God tier lololol — Viewer He meant it!!! — Viewer Damn! Didn't believe him~~~~~~~~ 🎉 VICTORY! 🎉
"Oh."
The nexus must've fallen while she respawned.
"Bus go brrr. Bus going too fast!"
Grinning wide, she checked the results screen. Overwhelming stats stared back.
⚔ PLAYER STATS ⚔ [Top Lane] - [Kairon] KDA: 21/2/5 Damage Dealt: 67,372 Damage Share: 52.3% One-Liner: Overwhelming skill.
"Whoa, solo carried by the throat."
Amazed, Elena sent a friend request to 'Carrier.' Surprisingly, it was accepted right away.
📱 Private Chat [Elena:] Hi there! [Carrier:] Hello. What's up with the friend request? [Elena:] You were amazing! Mind a quick interview? Possible? [Carrier:] Hm... — Viewer Clinger mode on lololol — Viewer Thirsty Elana ㅇㅇ — Viewer Elana, my horns hurt... — Viewer Good at game = instant thirst. So desperate ㅇㅇ;
"I'm not thirsting! Just curious! No ulterior motives!"
It was true. She just wondered who 'Carrier' was.
📱 Private Chat [Carrier:] Gotta game... Duo interview instead? [Elena:] Huh? Normal queue interview? [Carrier:] No? Ranked, obviously? — Viewer Eh, this is iffy; — Viewer No good... — Viewer Ranked for interview? Nah.
"Uh... What to do?"
An interview game wouldn't play normally. But she really wanted that carry to Gold.
Why hadn't she hit Gold yet? Skill? No—bad teams!
'Duo here and Gold's within reach!'
Chat wasn't thrilled. Her tomboy bro-ette concept was one thing; duoing a guy another.
'But I want to...!'
Curiosity about Carrier. Gold ambitions. They steeled her resolve. For the first time, Elena defied the crowd.
📱 Private Chat [Elena:] Sounds good! Game and interview! — Viewer Fuck; — Viewer What the hell!!! — Viewer My horns... — Viewer Bullshit!!! — Viewer Slutty bitch lol finally clinging to a guy for tiers ㅇㅇ; <<< Message deleted by mod!
"Don't freak out! Just gaming together. Right? And admit it—you're curious about him too?"
She calmly soothed the flaming chat. Two years streaming—she was used to this.
— Viewer True... — Viewer Forgiven... this once.
Chat settled. She invited Carrier. Default purple avatar—no gender clues.
📱 Private Chat [Elena:] Text interview might be tough. Voice chat possible? [Carrier:] Sure. One sec. ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ 'Carrier' joined party voice chat!
Someone joined. Elena beamed with an energetic greeting.
"Hi! Carrier!"
"Yes. Hello."
Elena froze. The voice was slightly low—but unmistakably female.
— Viewer ?????? — Viewer What the!!! — Viewer Fuuuuuuck~~~~~~lolololol — Viewer Knew it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chat exploded.
