Bonus: I'm Yasuo (Part One)
I'm a college student named Zhao Xin, and like many others, I love the game League of Legends and have devoted a lot of time and energy to it. 👣🔥 🐍♡
League of Legends has been a significant part of my life during the most precious years of my life.
Life is full of miracles. I never imagined that one day I would go to Runeterra, meet so many heroes, and experience so many adventures.
After being transported to Runeterra, I didn't stay in my original form; instead, I was transformed into a person named Leivo, as if possessed.
Leivo is the young master of the Laurent Family and the younger brother of Fiora, the Fiora, the Duelist. He is a wealthy young man living a life of luxury.
The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Fiora, and I was captivated by her beauty and fell deeply in love with her. Unfortunately, our social status prevented us from making any real progress.
However, being able to train in swordsmanship with Fiora was already a very happy thing, and I gradually integrated into this unfamiliar world and adapted to life here.
This idyllic life lasted only three short months before I was forced to leave Fiora's side due to the war.
The reason for this is a prophecy given by an old man named Tabor, who said that I am the savior of Demacia.
I naively thought I would achieve great things and win Fiora's favor, but I never expected to die in battle!
However, it was Leivo who died, but my consciousness did not disappear. Instead, I became Zhao Xin, the man whose "a flash of cold light appeared first, followed by a spear strike like a dragon."
I woke up in a gladiatorial arena, and it was here that I forged an inextricable bond with Tam and Darius.
I later learned that during the brief period I was in changing my identity, a full ten years had passed in Runeterra!
A lot has happened in the past decade.
Fiora remained as beautiful as ever, but was no longer young. She vowed never to marry and became the head of the Laurent Family.
When we talked about Leivo, she seemed very sad and her longing was intense, but once the sadness was released, she returned to her original self: exuding an unapproachable and aloof aura.
My longing subsided, and I joined Darius in beginning his conquest plan, the first step being to seize power in Noxus.
Before taking action, I picked up a fourteen-year-old girl, Riven, the Blade of Exile.
At first, I only took her in because I didn't want her to become a war casualty, but because of our special backgrounds, we cherish each other like family.
In the game's lore I understand, Darius successfully staged a coup and, together with Swain and LeBlanc, established the Tri-Force Council to govern Noxus.
However, our coup failed, and after heavy casualties, I was teleported by LeBlanc to a passenger ship bound for Ionia.
Here I met Poppy and learned a lot about the Yordle, such as the "The Will of the Yordles" that brought them into being, their absurdly long lifespans, and their immense power.
As we approached Ionia, we encountered a shipwreck. First, we heard beautiful singing, then we entered a wonderful illusion, where I even saw Riven.
After the illusion was broken, we faced off against countless Skeleton Soldiers for several days before finally ending the war by detonating explosives.
Apart from me, Poppy, Witt, and the captain, everyone else was blown up. The captain said it was the work of the "Sea Demon," and that we were still in the illusion even after the beautiful illusion was broken.
I still don't know what happened, and I haven't encountered a similar situation since.
Stepping onto the land of Ionia, I witnessed what true pristine nature is, because we landed on the east coast, where there was no destruction caused by the Noxus army, and everything was well preserved.
My original plan was to help Poppy find her so-called "great hero" and then leave, taking her with me to Noxus to help Darius, and also to let Riven know I was safe.
Instead of finding the great hero, they encountered Poppy's nemesis, Jhin, and had their first encounter.
After Jhin escaped, we embarked on a journey to the Kinkou Order, intending to ask them for help in capturing Jhin and, incidentally, helping Lux find the legendary Ageless Water.
During our journey, we met Alanta and her daughter. At first, I thought she was Akali, but after getting to know her, I learned that her daughter was Akali.
As the journey was nearing its end, an uninvited guest appeared—Zed—and killed Alanta. Alanta seemed to have lost on purpose, but I later learned that she felt guilty towards Zed.
When I arrived at the Kinkou Order, I found Shen. My first impression of him was very good; he was humble and polite.
So I entrusted Akali to him with peace of mind, and then went to the Fountain of Youth, but Buck Ageless Water doesn't exist at all, it's just something people made up.
I also heard about Shepherd from him and was surprised to learn that I was also Shepherd and could instill instinctive fear in animals.
That night we were attacked by a group of men in black, but we were able to defeat them with Kennen's help. I thought they were from the Shadow Stream, but Kennen suspected it was Shen.
Kennen proved to be right. After returning to the Kinkou Order, we were drawn into the feud between Shen and Zed, and it turned out that Jhin was the mastermind behind it all!
We had a second round of fighting with Jhin, and in the end, I was killed by Jhin's explosion in this feud.
The victim was still the original Zhao Xin, but my consciousness drifted away again and transmigrated into Yasuo's body.
Speaking of Yasuo, I'm sure everyone has mixed feelings of love and hate. To be honest, I have absolutely no liking for him, but he's somehow become the very thing I hate the most.
To be fair, learning the Wind Riding Technique was indeed very enjoyable. Not only did my strength improve significantly, but my moves also became more elegant and graceful.
However, I forgot one thing: time.
As I descended the mountain, I learned from Souma that six years had passed and the Noxus army had once again invaded Ionia!
At first, I was a bit conflicted, unsure which side to help. Later, I wanted to go back and ask Souma for his opinion, but then a tragic scene unfolded:
Riven killed Souma!
What's meant to happen will happen eventually. I tried to stop Riven from taking the path of violence, but she still ended up on that path because of me.
Because of this incident, I decided to help Ionia. Although my individual strength cannot influence the course of the battle, it can prevent the upcoming assassination.
Riven said that she, Katarina, and Talon split into three groups. After tracking them down, we found Talon at the Wuju Swordsmanship and were fortunate enough to witness his duel with the Sword Saint, but Talon ultimately lost.
Katarina was heading in the direction of the Kinkou Order, and after several years, I should go there for whatever reason.
Let's do a brief recap and a simple explanation of the setting of Runeterra, connecting the dots.
