After Crossing the Book, I Became the Mid-Lane Demon King

Professional player Luo Yuchen drunkenly finds himself in an eSports novel written by a hater, where he becomes a background character—a rich second generation. Determined to avoid being just a side character, he decides to return to his old profession and pursue a career in eSports.

In his first ranked match, Luo Yuchen transforms an underwhelming champion into a must-ban, must-pick character. Soon after, he receives an invitation to join TYG, a team struggling due to a lack of a mid-laner.

Before the spring season, online users comment on TYG’s new mid-laner:

– “The pinnacle of eSports visuals!”

– “The prettiest vase of TYG!”

– “A streamer mid-laner who climbed the ranks through backdoor deals.”

After the spring season, the online commentary shifts to:

– “Luo, the Demon King, wreaks havoc in the Rift, achieving brutal pentakills.”

– “The pinnacle of the league’s power, the ultimate unit of measurement for combat strength!”

– “When Luo goes out, one stab is three hundred!”

Along with the changing commentary comes an avalanche of game updates, with the developers altering skills every three days, removing items every five days, adjusting talents every ten days, and nerfing champions every two weeks…

Luo Yuchen also earns a string of achievements such as “Designer’s Lifelong Enemy,” “The League’s Ultimate Bug,” and “Child of the Reverse Meta.” On the night of the S Championship victory, Luo Yuchen was asked by a reporter about his relationship with captain Yu Chengfeng. He had just answered “teammates” when Yu Chengfeng pulled him backstage.

Yu Chengfeng cornered Luo Yuchen. “Teammates?”

Luo Yuchen blushed. “Not just ordinary teammates…”

“What kind of not ordinary?”

“Just, the kind that lasts a lifetime…”
