[You have been reborn]
[In the second week after turning eighteen, by a twist of fate, you embarked on the path of a professional player.]
[Through twice the effort of your peers and an exceptionally positive mindset, you maximized your otherwise unremarkable talent and finally reached the LPL league in your second year, joining the RNG team as a substitute.]
[But due to the darkest moment in the LPL region during the S12 World Championship, when the team nearly faced a complete wipeout in the quarterfinals, countless players were left utterly disappointed, and the league’s development, along with many teams, hit a bottleneck.]
[As an unremarkable player, you faced pay cuts and wage arrears as soon as you joined the team.]
[Yet none of these seemed to matter to you; as long as there were matches to play, you appeared genuinely happy.]
[You languished in the shadows of geniuses, served water beside the veterans’ benches, and finally earned a starting spot. But due to various reasons, you never had the chance to showcase your signature heroes, to the extent that no audience could even remember your ID.]
..............
[At thirty, your parents’ relationship shattered amid arguments about your past choices, and your professional career came to an end. Even RNG grew indifferent to renewing your contract.]
[Walking out of the club, disheartened, you began to question your choices from years ago, and for a while, you lacked the courage to open the game again.]
[You wanted to buy a bottle of soda from the corner shop to ease your worries, but suddenly, an out-of-control dump truck barreled toward you, flinging you eighty meters away!]
[Now, you have been reborn. You are determined to relive your professional career and carve out a brilliant golden path!]
[Restart League of Legends: Claim the “Rebirth Privilege”]

“..............Bro, what’s going on here?”
“This system must be bugged!”

Ye Bo, an optimistic and sunny homebody, besides being a dedicated League of Legends player, was also an avid novel enthusiast.
Throughout the past year, he had fantasized about countless kinds of systems he might receive.
Exaggerated ones: superpowers like X-ray vision, bullet time, even time reversal...
At the very least, something like a slight boost in intelligence or a Korean meta advantage would do!
But rebirth—that was the one possibility Ye Bo never considered.
Not because he hadn’t read rebirth novels—but because he believed he had no chance to be reborn at all!

Those familiar with rebirth stories would know:
To be reborn, you first have to realize you’re reborn, carrying the memories of your previous life. Only then is it truly rebirth.
Without memories, that’s just reincarnation!

Ye Bo was born into an ordinary family but had a fairly good childhood.
Especially Ye Ying, who always respected his genuine wishes. Allowing him to take a leave from school to grind achievements at home was only possible with her support.
Every moment of his upbringing felt incredibly real.
So Ye Bo was absolutely certain he was not reborn, nor was he suffering from memory loss or anything like that.

“And what this system says is just ridiculous!”

“What do they mean by ‘S12 was the darkest moment for LPL’? We just won the world championship last year, didn’t we? There’s no way we nearly wiped out in the quarterfinals this year. Are they trying to fool kids?”
“And about my experience...”
“Damn it, it’s hard to imagine that ‘I’ am even a person!”

Ye Bo, who always thought he had some gaming talent, found it difficult to relate to the experiences described by the system.
What does ‘unremarkable’ talent even mean?
Who are they insulting?
Who exactly?

He took another close look.
He joined RNG, endured a year on the second team, and finally made it to the main roster.
His debut was poor due to a limited hero pool and unfavorable meta, drawing everyone’s doubts. Then he worked tirelessly, practicing late into the night to expand his hero pool and master strong meta picks.
But by the time he was ready... the heroes kept getting repeatedly nerfed or buffed in unpredictable ways!

Later, RNG began to tank completely from 2023 onward, often delaying salaries, and even started auctioning off club trophies to make ends meet.
The team’s roster was subpar, and the squad itself struggled to achieve results.
Bound by a ten-year contract, Ye Bo couldn’t transfer elsewhere and had no choice but to rot alongside the team in this sinking ship.
No matter how hard he practiced or honed his skills, chances to shine were scarce, and he was quickly forgotten in the shadows.

He barely dared to imagine living through that.
If that were true... what kind of unlucky soul would I be?

At that moment, his phone buzzed in his pocket, displaying an unfamiliar number from the Shanghai area code.
Ye Bo instinctively answered.

“Hello, is this Ye Bo?”
“This is the head of RNG’s second team. We contacted you through the phone number you left on the streaming platform.”
“We’ve been watching you for some time and wanted to ask if you have any intention of pursuing a professional career...”

Ye Bo froze.
He had taken a break from school to grind achievements at home and occasionally streamed, although without a streaming contract, so his viewer count was low.
But as a well-known “grind king” in the national server with a high rank, it was normal to attract some attention.
It was just... the timing felt strange.

Reviewing the system’s memories, Ye Bo noticed several key phrases.

“At the second week after turning eighteen, you began your professional journey by chance.”

Suddenly, his pupils dilated as realization dawned.
His eighteenth birthday was just two weeks ago—exactly to the day!
Had the system guessed this by coincidence?
Or was it somehow “predicting” the future?

“Wait! If that’s true, then could the outcome of this year’s S12 really be...”

“Hey? Hey? What did you say...”

Beep... beep... beep...

Without a word, Ye Bo hung up immediately.
Because, if his analysis was correct, everything the system described might be events yet to come, or perhaps facts that had already happened in a parallel universe.
What’s the point in telling me this?

According to the system’s memories, RNG locked him into a ten-year contract.
They owed him eight years of salary!
After playing professionally for ten years, Ye Bo still owed 439.60 yuan on his Ant Credit!
Unbelievable!

Even one more word felt like a curse.

Ye Bo quickly pieced together most of the puzzle.
After all, “Progress Bar” had been with him for a year; he was mentally prepared, but the gap from expectations was huge.
Since he suspected the system was “misaligned,” the experiences it described probably belonged to “another version” of himself. The system was originally designed for that other self.
That meant there should be tools or preparations for a “rebirth path,” too.

Then the last line was the key:
“Please restart League of Legends: Claim [Rebirth Privilege].”

Ye Bo burst out of the bathroom, exhilarated, and dashed back to his room.
