Blue Star, China, Jiangling City.

Yongxing Internet Cafe! This was an unlicensed internet cafe. Other than under special circumstances, there were basically no age restrictions for using the computers here.

"Hey! I'm telling you, Long Yun, could you pick Elementary Schooler Hand or something? If you can't do it, how about I play top lane instead? I feel like you're no good at top lane. I should be the one playing," a boy in a black tracksuit teased as he stared at the computer screen.

"Xia Tian, stop looking down on my Darius. My Darius has some real skill, okay? And today, I specifically bought Darius's God-King skin. This skin looks insanely good. I bought it the moment it came out, so I have to play it properly and enjoy myself today," said the boy named Long Yun, who sat beside Xia Tian and stared at the screen as well.

"Haha, as if I don't know your Darius. Your performance is always ridiculously unstable. Nine games out of ten, you're dead weight. Only one game can you carry a little. You're bad, but you still love playing. Have you forgotten your nickname?"

"Elementary Schooler Hand!"

"Haha!" Xia Tian mocked.

"What do you know? I just didn't perform well. My Darius is still pretty good at carrying, okay? Besides, we're elementary schoolers ourselves, aren't we? There's nothing wrong with calling me Elementary Schooler Hand," Long Yun said unhappily.

"We're not elementary schoolers anymore. Once school starts, we'll be middle school students. Hehe," Xia Tian said with a grin.

"That's true." Long Yun shrugged helplessly.

He had only just turned twelve this year and had happened to graduate from elementary school, leaving the ranks of elementary schoolers behind. He was now a prospective middle school student. Back when people called him Elementary Schooler Hand, he could still accept it, since he really was an elementary school student. But now, it meant something different. It meant he was bad at the game! That would not do.

Long Yun was only twelve today, and his face still retained the innocence of an elementary schooler. He was not particularly tall, around the common height for elementary school students at roughly 1.5 meters. He was rather thin and weighed only around seventy jin. However, his little face already had somewhat defined features. His features were neat, and he was very handsome. Once he grew up, he would clearly become a dashing young man.

The boy beside him, Xia Tian, was his best friend. They had known each other since kindergarten, and their homes were very close, separated by only one street. They often played together, and their relationship was extremely good, like that of real brothers.

Xia Tian was the type who developed early. At twelve, he was already over 1.7 meters tall, with a sturdy build and a relatively mature-looking face. If people were not told his age, they would definitely think he was a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old teenager rather than a twelve-year-old child.

"By the way, I wonder whether we'll still be able to attend the same middle school," Xia Tian suddenly said worriedly. His relationship with Long Yun was so good that he naturally hoped they would attend the same middle school, even the same high school and university, but—

Long Yun turned to look at Xia Tian's worried expression. He immediately leaned over, spread his arm, and hooked it around Xia Tian's shoulders. Smiling, he said, "What are you worried about? Don't worry! With your grades, you can still get into Jiangling No. 1 High School. Have faith in yourself."

Xia Tian looked at Long Yun and smiled. "Haha, then I'll take your word for it."

"But I really envy you, Long Yun. You've had a good memory and been smart since you were little. Studying is just too easy for you. Sometimes you have even more fun than I do, yet your grades are always first in the year," Xia Tian said enviously as he looked at Long Yun.

Although his grades were considered good, there was still a huge gap between him and Long Yun. Even getting into Jiangling City's best school, Jiangling No. 1 High School, would be somewhat difficult for him. Yet for Long Yun, it was practically guaranteed. He could get in easily, and even enter the best class. It inevitably left Xia Tian feeling somewhat defeated.

"Why are we brothers even talking about this? Everyone has their own talent points and things they're good at. I may be a little better at studying, but when it comes to gaming, I'm nowhere near as talented as you. I've played for so long and I'm still Gold, while you're already a Diamond master. And you have plenty of other strengths too," Long Yun said, offering Xia Tian a string of rather mature words of comfort.

Ever since he was young, his parents had forced him to read. Over the years, he had read at least hundreds of books, sampling all kinds of subjects. As a result, he had encountered many things and matured mentally at an early age. He was like a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youth and understood many principles.

"Yeah! That does seem right." Xia Tian thought it over, then nodded with a smile. Although he knew Long Yun was comforting him, the gloom in his heart had still eased considerably.

"Alright! Then let me carry you up a few ranks!" Xia Tian declared loudly.

"Okay! Charge!" Long Yun laughed, then immediately got ready to play.

Five hours later!

"Ah, that felt amazing!" As soon as they stepped out of the internet cafe, Long Yun and Xia Tian both stretched deeply. Then they exchanged a smile and headed home, discussing the matches they had just played along the way. They chatted and laughed, occasionally taking jabs at each other.

"Alright, Xia Tian, I'm heading back first!" Long Yun said, waving to Xia Tian in front of his house.

"Okay! By the way, Long Yun, how about coming to my place for dinner? Didn't you say your aunt and uncle wouldn't be back until very late today?" Xia Tian asked.

"Um, forget it! After playing games for so long, I'm tired too. I want to go home and sleep by myself, hehe!" Long Yun said with a smile.

"It's only past six. Why are you going to sleep so early?" Xia Tian asked as he checked his watch.

"I'm just a little tired. I'm going back first!" With that, Long Yun opened the door, walked inside, and shut it behind him.

"You guy, I've never seen you sleep this early before. Seriously," Xia Tian muttered as he watched Long Yun go inside so quickly, then returned to his own home as well.

"Ah! Beds really are comfortable!" Long Yun went straight back to his bedroom and threw himself onto his little bed. He lay spread-eagled, his eyes slightly closed and his face full of contentment.

Just as Long Yun's eyes were slightly closed, a black dot suddenly appeared above him. Then the dot slowly expanded. In less than the time it took to breathe, it had grown into a Black Hole roughly one meter in diameter. Inside was a pitch-black expanse; nothing could be seen with the naked eye. It was incredibly eerie.

A mysterious and powerful force emanated from the Black Hole, a force that stood above heaven and earth and possessed endless might.

"Hm?" Long Yun seemed to sense something as well. His eyes slowly opened a little, but the moment he looked, they flew wide open in fright. He stared in terror at the Black Hole less than a meter above him. Just as he was about to move, the Black Hole unleashed an immensely powerful suction force toward him.

Long Yun had no ability to resist that suction at all. Before he could react in the slightest, before he even had time to scream, he was sucked into the Black Hole, his fate unknown.

The Black Hole gradually began to contract before disappearing completely. The room returned to peace.
