I’m The Only Master - Chapter 2

 

2.

I was regressed?

It was a feeling of waking up from a deep sleep.

Slowly, my eyelids that were closed tight opened involuntarily.

I saw a familiar ceiling.

The moment I regained my consciousness, I felt extremely strange.

Clearly, I thought I was killed by the accelerating truck.

Even if I survived with some miracle, it was something I could not understand at all.

Not hospital but my home?

My mind was still unclear.

But I could roughly guess the story that I missed.

Most probably, it would have been something to do with my financial status.

Still being a pro gamer trainee at this age, I have not been saving any money.

I supposed I was chased out from the hospital because I did not have money to be confined in.

And hence, I was at home that was a room big.

But why here..? No, How serious was my injury..

I did not have the courage to turn my eyesight.

If my memory was right, it was the truck that seemed to be 2 tons heavy.

Even if I recover from such injuries, it was an injury that I could not lead life as a pro gamer anymore.

The after effects of the accident would affect not only my life as a pro gamer but in daily lives as well.

I would not be able to belong in the team that was my only hope.

s.h.i.+t, money is always the problem.

Angered, I punched the ground hard in despair.

The low cla.s.s floor rang with a loud bang.

It is obvious to produce a sound after hitting but somethings were really unexplainable.

How am I able to even move?

I was ran over by a 2 ton truck.

It could not be an minor injury that could be recovered in just 1 or 2 weeks.

But my movement was too free to be a patient after the accident.

Rather, I felt my body in really good condition.

No bruise or scratcheswhat is this situation?

Moreover, there was no problem with speaking even.

Anxiety filled my brain.

Calendar, I need to find the calendar.

No, not calendar in 21st century.

I rapidly scampered around the house to look for my smartphone.

Galaxy S? What a junk.

Although I did not even have a laptop that the whole world has, I had a gadget that I was proud of.

It was Galaxy S7 that I bought after saving money from my little salary as a trainee.

That phone turned into something that I have used 6 years ago.

Was it terminated for my hospital fees?

No.

I could never feel any pain on my body.

There is a saying , Never say never.

Calming down my nervous mind, I swiped my phone to unlock it.

Wow.. it really did happen.

27th April 2012

I was at the past which was 6 years ago.

I experienced a feeling of regression that I could only happen in fantasy.

Maybe its wrong.

I accessed the Internet with my phone, searching.

As I struggled in the sea of information.

There was no record of28th April, which was the next day, and so as the records 6 years ago.

This was impossible unless the country was messing with my life.

Just in case it was just a dream, I pinched my cheek really hard. Indeed, it was painful.

I really did regress to the past.

Oh G.o.d

A second life.

Is this even possible?

What if I can start again to become a pro gamer with 6 years of knowledge?

What a great chance to be successful.

No, there is no need for it.

I can just work at construction sit for 1 or 2 years, and invest all the money in the stock market.

I recalled that stocks of CoreMedicine rose sharply 2 years ago from the news report.

They were successful in the development of new medicine.

Gulp.

I could hear a clear sound of my saliva in the esophagus.

Every sense of mine was extremely active.

A life to live again.

There is so much potential to be successful.

But I cant just give up here.

I can use the knowledge of future in other aspects. But that applies to becoming a pro gamer as well.

This life, it is not a dream to gamble with life.

rather, it is a clear guarantee.

If I make good use of hero pools and knowledge?

And if I can perform at the standard of the past?

If my memory is correct, there was no clear was of managing the game 6 years ago in season 2.

There were many mistakes made as I was still not comfortable with the champions.

I remember laughing at the LoL champs for making silly mistakes when I watched it again after 6 years.

I can do it..!

My objective cant just be to become a rich person with stocks.

I was going to clench the highest position as a pro gamer.

My name, SiHyeon Kim these 3 words.

Im going become famous in Korea and in the world.

The worlds best mid Laner Taker?

The G.o.d of jungle Airplane?

There are of no use.

Im gonna be the best.

The first thing that I did was to recall the situations that led to my life now.

I recalled what kind of person was I 6 years ago.

Dispatched from army, jobless, LOL silver.

After national service I remember working really hard to reach master.

And I thought to myself.

If I could reach master in just one year, that would mean that I have more than enough potential.

Gaming team accepted me just for that potential, but reality was harsh.

I was master all along, s.h.i.+t!

I had to lead an exhausting life as a trainee for 5 years.

But not in this life.

I have my skills that Ive been training for 6 years.

Grandmaster is something obvious, and with my hero pool, its a birth of a superstar.

Lets do it.

I pressed the power b.u.t.ton on my old model computer with my right toe.

There was no need to press with it but its a habitant its the most comfortable way.

Droom droom droom.

With the noise of machine running, the old computer was switched on.

I had no choice.

I was not a rich guy 6 years ago as well.

I could not afford a good computer.

But Lord of Loads, in short LOL does not require high specifications to run, so its fine.

I did not feel like that were lags on my computer back then.

Just that I have to play with clays

Clays refer to bad graphics.

To prevent lagging, I had to lower the graphics to the lowest.

However this was still bearable for me.

A computer that can be turned on just in 10 seconds with SSD took a minute to perform the same task.

But I should not take it for granted, rather it is something to be thankful for.

Just with this computer I can reach grandmaster and can get scouted to great teams.

By the way, was there even pro teams 6 years ago?

As my memory was unclear, I searched for it up on the Internet.

At this moment, LOL was not the mainstream game played by the public.

But as the hype grows, there was few teams preparing to run in season 2.

27th April, at present time, there was LOl champs Spring season held in Korea.

Obviously there were a few teams partic.i.p.ating, and there was slight attention towards

some players as well.

Of course, overseas players were more famous back then.

As the hype continues, Korea will soon become better than any other countries.

Therefore, it was a perfect timing to have a dream to become a pro gamer.

But before that, there was one thing.

I need basic living expenses even if I was going to play game the whole day.

Did I have money back then?

When I called the bank just in case, I had an account balance of a thousand dollars.

It was the money I had been saving from many part time jobs.

If I cut down on my expenses, it will last at least for 2 months.

If possible, even 3 months.

I can get it done in that period.

I accessed LOL with my junky computer.

I checked my ID and it was something was so familiar.

It was Allmaster.

Now that I think about it, this ID was the beginning of my miserable life.

Tsk Tsk, thats why I could not go higher than master.

Allmaster, means that one has mastered all the champions in LOL.

But at the same time, there was a curse of not being able to reach grandmaster.

As I mumble to myself, I checked my statistics if my account.

Silver 3 28P.

Rank matches 72 wins 65 losses.

In one sentence, its a trash results.

How did I even dream of becoming a pro player when my rank was still silver after playing 100 matches.

Considering myself, it was still an impossible challenge.

Haha, but not anymore.

Im gonna make an appearance as a hot rookie.

Im gonna beat everyone and become number one.

Naturally, then I will be scouted to the team.

Be prepared, everyone gahahaha.

With a confident mindset, I began my first solo rank match.

From now on, the path I will be taking will be filled with flowers.

There was a time in youth that I could still think in this way.

Why is this dude returning to base? Is he not going to have a team fight together? Does he even want to win? Should I just throw (give up and trolling) the game for him?

Hilariously, I got cancer from playing a few matches.

Teammates never listen .

They never know whose loss is this after losing.

-Please fight together. Just get your champ up here and I will kill them all

-I make my decision. Dont give me orders

-Who are you to make orders? Im gold for top lane lol

ARGHHHHHHHHH!

It has been 10 matches since I turn on the computer and started smas.h.i.+ng it down.

It was not a result to fall in despair but it was way below my expectations.

7 wins 3 losses, it wasnt that bad after all.

if it was me back then, I would have ordered fried chicken being so excited.

However, I am a master player who retuned to 6 years ago.

I could not believe that I can lots 3 matches despite the big gap in standards compared to silver tier.

If they stay still, I can still carry the game, but my teammates kept trolling around.

Why are they not listening? I am carrying the team and making good orders, what are they complaining about?

Is it so difficult to do something as told?

Why cant they just take cs in every lane and meet for team fight?

Even if they just show up in front and I can kill them all by myself.

Haiz I need a break.

As I think about it again, I felt that I did something wrong too.

I should not give orders for these deep see (A term to group low skilled players, commonly from bronze to gold) guys.

I should have killed them all by myself.

If I were to engage a typical team fight with such teammates, I can never expect a positive result.

For instance, there was a story among the defensive jungles.

They lost to a silver Lees.h.i.+m while smirfing as Amomo.

Bang!

Finally, another match was found.

This time, for sure, Ill carry the whole team.

Kill the opponent jungle.

And kill the rest.

-5 pick jungler please. Im master smirf.

I put this up on team chat.

It wasnt a lie.

If I was given a jungler position, I can hard carry the team even with the the teammates on previous round with the heart of a Buddha (means being generous).

-Master smirf, why is your recent stats like this?

-If you are master, Im grandmaster.

-I met him in previous round, he is just silver tier standard. My KDA is better lmao

-Ill go jungle. Ive never seen anyone doing well after saying all this~

Bullied in numbers.

Even the add player that I thought I carried is disturbing me now.

How is he in a position to say about me when he could not even do basic attack with Haclyn, a long ranged add champ?

The more I think about it, the bigger my anger became.

Should I just make a troll pick and throw the game?

-5 pick Ill go support ^^ We can do this guys!

Its not the younger self of mine before the regression.

I could not be making the same mistakes after aging this much.

I can handle this. I must put up with them.

So I went support, a duty as a 5th pick.

The game result was indeed a loss.

Adding another loss, its 7 wins and 4 losses now.

5th pick support is indeed an equation to a must loss.

Gosh What am I doing.

How did I even lose 4 times in the deep sea.

Its definitely because I wasnt so lucky with my teammates.

I guess I did not focus really well with all that anger.

I can also give an excuse that I did not get used to the patches in the past.

But after thinking carefully, I could finally find the right answer.

Im not able to pay full attention to the game.

Regression that can only happen in novels.

And all the stress that Ive been acc.u.mulating.

Sadness and patience I had to deal with in Matbam gaming for 5 years was.h.i.+ng dishes were my obstacles.

As my life flows smoothly, I rather got more anxious.

I need to relieve my stress.

But, how?

I dont have the money to go for a vacation, neither do I have the time to waste taking break.

If I become lazy there will be no end to it.

Stress that I gained from LOL has to be relieved through LOL.

That’s the rule of my life as a pro gamer.

I need to find someone to release my stress.

Of course, I dont mean to troll or misbehave in game.

There is a better way.

Targeting the streamers!
