Novel/Chapter 1

Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng are playing Glory at Excellent Era Club.

Team Excellent Era #19 came 2nd to last place.

The club manager then tells Ye Qiu that Sun Xiang will take over his position as captain.

Sun Xiang won Best Newcomer title and led Team Conquering Clouds to 8th place. He then transferred to Excellent Era because they had one legendary player named Battle Mage One Autumn Leaf, the Battle God of Glory.

The manager then tells Ye Qiu to hand over the account card of One Autumn Leaf to Sun.

Before Ye hands the card to Sun, Ye asks if Sun likes Glory. When Sun is flustered on how to respond, Ye gives the card and leaves. But the manager says Ye can stay as a training manager.

Ye passes and requests to cancel the contract.

Su tries to stop Ye, but Ye said it's no use as his departure is the club's goal.

Even though he still has fame and is courted by advertising agents, he rejects them all. The Glory Professional Alliance these days was too commercialized and full of greed.

Ye assures Su that he will be back.

The contract cancellation condition is for Ye to announce his retirement. Ye was 25 years old, so this age was normal for retirement in esports. Retired players could not participate in tournaments, but could return only after 1 full year.

Ye assents and then leaves. Su follows him.
