Was I a Grandmaster in This World? Now I'm Bronze
I had filled my stomach with the cup ramen I bought from the convenience store and zero cola. Now, I was wondering what to do next.
Next Monday was the start of the semester, so there was nothing special to do. Naturally, I sat in front of the computer and launched the game I loved.
The game I play is Overmatch, also known as Opti, a hyper FPS game. In normal FPS games, players control characters with added special abilities, battling 5v5 to complete missions first and win to climb ranks.
Normally, I would play it every day without missing, but yesterday, after confirming that the world had changed and wandering around to check things out, I didn't play the game I always do.
When the game screen appeared, my account's nickname 'WlrTkqjflrlrhtn' appeared, and I immediately started the ranked game.
Ah, maybe in the Gender-Reversed World, the game characters have also changed?
With a slight expectation, before starting the ranked game, I entered the training room to check the character selection.
Oh! Not all characters changed, but some male characters became female, and some female characters became male.
What to say... The genders of the characters I knew were reversed, so it feels new? But only the gender changed; the skills and structures they had were all the same.
Anyway, even if the gender changes and the appearance changes, since it's an FPS game with first-person view, I won't care about the gender change and will focus on killing the opponent. So, for an hour, I switched characters and toured the training room.
It was fun to make expressions to see my character in 3D momentarily and watch how the originally male characters' bodies changed into sexy ones. It even implemented the bouncing of breasts.
Of course, I quickly checked the female characters who became male and moved on. No need to carefully observe male bodies.
After happily observing the characters, I was about to start the real game when something unbelievable appeared in my eyes.
"Eh, what is this...! Why is my rank like this?"
My account that had achieved Grandmaster not long ago had now dropped to Bronze in the depths.
No, what the hell is going on? I was startled and was about to post a inquiry in the center, but stopped. Thinking about it, I'm not in the world I originally lived in. I'm in the Gender-Reversed World now... So, isn't the low rank I'm seeing in front of me the rank that the person who lived in this world originally raised?
How many games did I not play to drop to Bronze? Or was I just playing around in Bronze?
Feeling a bit upset, I unconsciously started the ranked game.
Bronze? I'm Bronze? Even when I first started ranked, Bronze didn't come out. Just playing without thinking, I at least got to Diamond, but Bronze is a world I haven't been to.
The ranked game started immediately, and without thinking, I chose 'Zenji' with a ninja concept. Zenji is a character with excellent mobility, able to freely move over walls and do aerial dual jumps, like a character that can fly around in low ranks like Bronze.
For Bronze players, it's almost impossible to aim at Zenji who jumps around above their heads, so unless it's a tank, they can just kill them alone, and with good ultimate skills, they can do massive massacres.
So, this game was one I prepared with the intention of carrying, and then one chat message came up.
I thought this was nonsense, so I checked my account records to see...
"Wait, what the hell is this?"
The unbelievable numbers appeared in front of me. What kind of thing did I do in this world that my KD is not even 1, but around 0.7?
In this game, kills increase not only by directly killing enemies but also if damage is dealt and the enemy dies to another ally, so even if you're bad, it's not easy to go below 1. It is a game where if you hit the enemy roughly and the ally kills them, the kill count goes up.
But this account hasn't even reached 1, so I thought maybe my eyes were wrong while looking at it.
Yeah, if it was an account where I almost never shot with normal guns and only plugged in heals, but honestly, even that doesn't make sense.
But this account was a dealer-only account. Even though I mostly played Zenji, I had this KD. That means I couldn't even put in proper damage, and just died without killing.
There really isn't a separate bug account...
Ah, this is my account now?
"Haa... What the hell, how did I play the game like this? Did I use my feet instead of hands? No, even with feet, I can't play better than this."
I couldn't believe this account was mine, as the owner. But when I checked the records with the same team, it made me understand how unbelievable it was.
It would be better to make a new account and play...
But I didn't want to.
For someone, it might be just one account, but in my head, there are memories of climbing to Grandmaster with this account. So, I didn't want to easily abandon the account.
If not abandoning the account, what should I do?
Actually, the answer is simple. Just play ranked games seriously and climb the rank.
And I'm currently playing in Bronze, but isn't it okay to climb back up? The rank went down, but it's not because my skill decreased?
Moreover, it feels like a new goal to climb back to Grandmaster. Then, let's play properly.
I expected this kind of reaction from that person. Since he was the type who would insist on being a dealer, he had no choice but to throw in a losing game.
But there is a way to turn around such a person's mind. It's also a very simple way.
If you make the game that seems like a loss into a win, they will naturally play properly. Looking at his records, he seems to have dropped from Silver recently.
I decided to ignore what he said and play the game. Anyway, since I can't persuade him through chat, it won't work.
So, let's go?
This game was an attack team pushing the cargo to the destination and the defense team blocking the cargo from moving.
I was on the attack team and ran towards the team of 4 who were sticking to the cargo, unlike them, I left a chat and ran forward.
As expected, he reacted, but I ignored it. It was good to stick to the cargo together, but I needed to prove my skill now.
Using Zenji's mobility, I circled around the map and arrived at the defense team's location. The enemy team didn't expect me to come back, so they were waiting for our team to come to the cargo's location.
In normal FPS games, it's normal not to stay still, and it's not easy to hit all enemies with thrown attacks unless it's hitscan. Even if the first attack hits, the enemy moves when hit, so the attack might miss.
But what rank am I playing now.
It's Bronze, the depths, so I thought there was no enemy, and there was one healer who was just standing still. I carefully shot a repair beam from behind the tank towards the healer, and the healer who was standing still took all my attacks.
I didn't miss that moment and quickly approached with Zenji's skill, Qilpumseon, slashed and hit again with repair beam and used normal attack cancel to put in burst damage and instantly got the kill.
Then, in the right kill log, the message appeared that I killed the healer.
Suddenly surprised that their healer was taken by me, the enemy team attacked me, but using the property of Qilpumseon that the cooldown resets immediately when kill is obtained, I fled to another place leisurely.
The chat kept coming with question marks because I suddenly took their healer.
But my carry doesn't end here. Bus or hold on tight, team.
"What is this crazy woman?"
A while later, before my team met the enemy team, one message appeared in the kill log. I thought the Zenji who ran first died...
Huh? Why did you die?
I want to ask too. What the hell happened?
