Chapter Title: The Legend's Beginning
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wild was in awe.
At a play that only a legend could pull off.
And he acknowledged it.
That the old legend had returned.
—"Your voice changed so much I thought it wasn't you. You really are Legender, huh?"
"Hyung."
—"Why?"
"No, call me hyung. Don't you remember the bet?"
And that legend was a bit cruel.
💬 Comments — Viewer1 lololololololololololol — Viewer2 Busted Wild trying to pretend the bet never happened! — Viewer3 Freeze! Sleight of hand!? — Viewer4 Tinker pick and lose. Tinker pick and lose. Tinker pick and lose. — Viewer5 Wild! Trash legend! — Viewer6 Lost to 2-2-2-Jun like a total dog again. Lost to 2-2-2-Jun like a total dog again. — Viewer7 How's someone's name 222JunJunJun lololol — Viewer8 What's with trying to brush it off all heartwarmingly lololol —"....Legender hyung."
"Yeah, little bro?"
—"You were that confident you'd get the first kill no matter what?"
"Well, as long as my skill didn't miss."
—"The turret made it even harder to aim. You got a protractor in your eyes or something?"
The Tinker's turret had collision detection, so it could block non-piercing skills.
And when the Illusionist dueled one-on-one, instead of making the Q skill non-piercing, he took the trait that boosted damage by 30%.
Wild's Tinker had cleverly hidden among the turrets, making it even tougher to land skills.
Yet Jeon Jeonseol had hit both magic missiles of the illusion as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
'Hiding between the turrets and not taking Flash was the fatal mistake, huh.'
The spells Wild had chosen were Ignite for sustained damage and Exhaust to reduce the enemy's damage.
Both were insanely efficient in 1v1 Arena Duels.
But who could've guessed Jeon Jeonseol's Flash would pull off more than just closing the gap.
It was a perfect miscalculation.
A delightful one.
'It really was down to a hair's breadth.'
If there had been any mistake at all, or even if his hand had been just a bit slower.
Wild's Exhaust spell definitely would've come into play.
The problem was that by the time it activated, Jeon Jeonseol's skills had already landed fully.
The Illusionist's blink range was longer than Exhaust's cast range—it was unavoidable.
But if the opponent's hand had been even a fraction slower, or if he'd spent just 0.1 seconds aiming the skill.
It would've been the Illusionist taking reduced damage and falling.
Down to a single hair's breadth.
A feat only Jeon Jeonseol could've pulled off, aiming through turrets without wasting even 0.1 seconds.
You had to be certain it'd hit the moment you fired.
The realm of superhumans.
'Gonna go pro? You have to, right?'
Not every gaming master goes pro.
But Jeon Jeonseol's talent shone too brightly to stay out of it.
Just like with Victory, Wild couldn't help but dream of it.
Jeon Jeonseol competing in pro matches.
His heart raced.
"Alright, hierarchy sorted. Shall we go hit max level?"
💬 Comments — Viewer1 Ooooh — Viewer2 Finally — Viewer3 Isn't massacring normies with Wild joining too much? — Viewer4 Opponents are Diamond/Masters they haven't touched in ages — Viewer5 That those Diamond/Masters keep getting massacred — Viewer6 Facing two pro-level guys is kinda harsh — Viewer7 What's the point of 30-0 in solo queue? tsk tsk — Viewer8 Coming to a game stream to yap about value. Just fun > all — Troll1 Salty cuz you can't do it yourself lol — Viewer9 Go study something valuable and log off — Viewer10 fr lol — Viewer11 Ban the troll? — Viewer12 Stop feeding the trolls — Viewer13 Jealous? Go try it yourself — Viewer14 How do you even copy that lol — Viewer15 If it was copyable, trolls would be streamers A single raging troll showed up briefly, but vanished when the chat didn't bite.
Nothing's more pointless than asking gamers why they play.
Because it's fun, duh.
And so began the normal game adventure.
A modest challenge to hit level 30 undefeated.
....A modest challenge no one's ever achieved.
💬 Comments — Viewer1 It's different alright ⭐ Top Comment — Viewer2 Chant it! Jeon Jeonseol! Jeon Jeonseol! — Viewer3 Wild's nuts too — Viewer4 Master tier so pitiful sob sob — Viewer5 Can't play? Then lose lol — Viewer6 Opponent was bomb mage and magic swordsman, that's it — Viewer7 fr? When'd opponent tier go up again? — Viewer8 Bring five Challengers!!! — Viewer9 Boss! One shot of Legend dopamine here! — Viewer10 Game Shredder Duo ㄷㄷ With such an excellent teammate, it didn't look hard at all.
Jeon Jeonseol was very satisfied with the assistant he'd brought today.
As he thought, having no one reliable on the team versus having a comrade was worlds apart.
For one, game times had shortened dramatically, which was hugely welcome.
"Surrender again?"
In Teamfight Arena, games almost never went over 30 minutes because of the special surrender event at 25 minutes.
But conversely, games ending in under 20 minutes were rare too.
Instead, surrenders became possible from 10 minutes, and that happened occasionally.
Every game with Wild had ended in under 20, and half of them surrendered at 10.
When Jeon Jeonseol solo queued normals, scores were even, so surrenders hardly happened.
It was a miracle no forced surrender event occurred where he voted no but the other four yes.
Surrender votes pass with four out of five in favor.
If that had happened, the undefeated max level challenge wouldn't have even started.
Anyway.
Average game time over 25 minutes had shrunk to 10-15.
Nearly halved game times meant the time to max level would drop sharply.
For Jeon Jeonseol, eager to dive into ranked, this was great news.
"Wild and I were enemies from start to finish. There was Legendary Clan and Winner Clan. How that started was......"
Viewers had already surpassed 3,000.
A drop compared to Victory's 50k+, sure.
But for a day-two newbie streamer, it was overly generous.
Most came for Wild, no doubt, but plenty were falling for Jeon Jeonseol's charm too—that was undeniable.
Feeling pretty good, Jeon Jeonseol shared the story of bonding with Wild that viewers wanted.
"At first, Victory and I were in Legendary Clan. But we crushed every clan we faced. Games need some balance for fun, but we shattered them all. Got boring."
💬 Comments — Viewer1 ㄷㄷ ⭐ Top Comment — Viewer2 Victory and Jeon Jeonseol same team? Heart swells just imagining — Viewer3 Feels like the real legend's origin story — Viewer4 When's Wild coming out? — Viewer5 Matdak's story sack ㄷㄷ — Viewer6 Why so romantic? So cool — Viewer7 The age of romance existed — Viewer8 Feels like a garage startup story in America — Viewer9 So this manwha's ending is Jeon Jeonseol vs Victory at Worlds? "So Victory split from me. Then I gathered top players and made another clan. Me leading Legendary, Victory leading Winner. Balanced the teams."
💬 Comments — Viewer1 Legend vs Victor showdown ⭐ Top Comment — Viewer2 Nicks, clan names, story—why so romantic? 📰 Breaking News Don't fall for it, those guys are magical girl otakus — ??? ???: I'm big tits faction, he's flat faction — Viewer3 Dunno if otakus, but damn cool anyway "Once we split, games got fun again. Wild was in Winner Clan there. Victory brought him."
—"Magical Fight was fun, yeah."
"Hear that, folks? Magical Fight is that good a game. Start it up now."
—"Hey, hey, hey! Promoting other games gets me in trouble!"
"I'm hyung today, right?"
—"Hyung or not, Teamfight Arena's more fun. Don't fall for the cult."
"You traitor! Money that good?"
—"Yeah, love it. Way better now."
💬 Comments — Viewer1 Money bird lolol — Viewer2 How ugly can Wild get lol — Viewer3 Money copy bug now vs pure romance past = obvious choice — Viewer4 That's right — Viewer5 Romance needs poverty to be romance — Viewer6 All the romance rice eaters starved to death — Viewer7 Life's real combat — Viewer8 So when's Jeon Jeonseol pro debut? Coming then — Viewer9 Come then and regret hard, every moment now is legendary — Viewer10 Jeon Jeonseol living up to the name — Viewer11 Change nick to Present Legend? — Viewer12 But why from Legender to Jeon Jeonseol? "Legend was taken obviously, and Legender was in use too. So no choice. Ah. Queue popped."
Everything was going smoothly.
Too smoothly, almost surreal.
But after wrapping the next game in another quick win.
A message popped up on Jeon Jeonseol's stream screen.
🚫 BAN NOTICE 🚫 [Unfair Game Usage Suspension]
