Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 151 Esports Room

Niall remarked, "It's not just that. There might be flooding, but the bigger issue is the island next door. Their foundation isn't stable, and a tsunami could cause it to collapse."

Liam, sitting on the sofa nearby, frowned at this.

Zoren walked over and placed a reassuring hand on Liam's shoulder. "Your sister and brother are still there."

Liam didn't respond.

Violeta put the cake on the table, sat on the carpet with her legs crossed, and said, "If that island collapses, they're in big trouble. Aren't you going to help, Liam?"

Liam knew he couldn't avoid helping, even if he didn't want to.

Hattie and Benson were part of the Ridge family, even though they were born out of wedlock. They had been accepted back into the family, and his grandfather subtly recognised them. If something went wrong and it came to light that Liam was there but didn't assist, his grandfather would be angry.

Additionally, Liam worried about the backlash if they survived and decided to go against him. Explaining his actions would be tough.

The more he pondered it, the more anxious Liam became.

"We'll talk about it once it collapses. When their time comes, no one can stop it.

"It's all up to destiny."

The lounge had various board games and a pool table.

The staff brought in a bottle of red wine and some glasses.

As Violeta enjoyed her cake, they started a game of pool, and Niall was busy on his phone.

Violeta, still nibbling on her cake, explored the area and found an esports room behind the lounge.

She looked at Niall and asked, "Can we use this esports room, Niall? It's likely pouring outside, and the inte cafes might be shut."

Niall, covering the phone, responded, "Yeah, we have inte here."

When they were setting up the island's wirelesswork, they took the island's weather into account and made special adjustments. Unless a tsunami hit and flooded the island, the inte would remain stable.

Violeta checked out the esports room and noticed the impressive setup.

The equipment is top-notch, with large monitors with a cool, futuristic vibe.

Considering them playing pool outside, Violeta decided to just pull up a chair and play inside.

She opened up the computer and started browsing.

There were plenty of popular games, but "MLSS" caught Violeta's eye.

During middle school, Violeta, like any other teenager, enjoyed playing games.

But later on, she aimed to get into Toland University, so she gave up gaming and concentrated on studying hard.

Finally, she was admitted to Toland University with top-notch grades. She had planned to make up for lost game time after getting into Toland University.

However, little did she know that before she even started university, Zelena would come back.

From then on, her spare time at

university was spent working to earn

a living Gaming was completely out of the picture. Until her death, Violeta never found the time to revisit those happy moments.

Reflecting on it now, she longed for those moments.

MLSS belonged to the MOBA genre.

In this life, her account may have been idle for just two years.

But now, as Violeta sat in front of the computer screen and entered her game account on the keyboard, she was the only one who knew that it was not just two years, buta whole lifetime.

The game interface has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the gameplay has also been updated.

Fortunately, the core of the game remains unchanged, and Violeta quickly became familiar with it after a little exploration.

Her account used to be top-tier, but now it's fallen to the bottom. Despite that, she's confident that her skills are still top-notch!

She launched a game and completely lost herself in the excitement.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

...

In a different room, following a video chat with Zelena, Hattie geared up to join forces with Zelena and Casey from the dance club for some gaming. "Violeta, you're our ace player. You should take the jungle role and guide us to victory."

"We're counting on you!"

Hattie felt a surge of pride. "I'm not that outstanding, just decent. But if you're all game, let's do this together!"

"Oh, don't be so modest."

"You've got a knack for those heroes, it's impressive, especially for a girl like you. As for me, I'm more comfortable with support characters haha ... '

The trio teamed up and launched into a game while exchanging banter over voice chat.

Interestingly, at the same time Violeta was indulging in a slice of cake while waiting for a match!

The delightful sweetness of the cake danced on her taste buds, filling Violeta with anticipation.

It had been a while since her last game, and she was determined to shine!

She pondered whether she still had the same level of performance as in the past.

She played a few warm-up matches, and once she felt self-assured, she would transition to ranked games. Her current ranking couldn't match her expertise!

All roles were swiftly assigned.

Violeta was the flexible substitute player.

Observing that there was one

position left in the mid lane after her teammates had made their choices, she casually picked a hero with simple mechanics that could swiftly eliminate enemies.

...

On the opposing team, Hattie took on the jungle role, Zelena chose the mid lane, and Casey opted for support.

With roles decided, the game commenced loading.
