In the online game Glory, Ye Xiu is regarded as a textbook and a top-tier pro-player. However, due to myriad reasons, he is kicked from his team. After leaving the professional scene, he finds work in an Internet Cafe as a manager. When Glory launches its tenth server, he who possesses ten years of gaming experience once again throws himself into the game. Bringing with him the memories of his past and an incomplete, self-made weapon, his return along the road to the summit begins. The novel follows Ye Xiu as he rebuilds from level 1, reforms a team from scratch, and pursues the Glory championship again.
Progression: Glory is a level-capped MMORPG with explicit structured advancement central to the entire narrative. Characters level from 1 to 70 (later 75 with expansion), gaining skill points, class-specific skills, and equipment tiers at fixed level brackets. Ye Xiu starts over on a new server at level 1 and must grind dungeons, field bosses, and materials to level and craft his signature self-made silver weapon (Myriad Manifestations Umbrella). Advancement includes: player levels, skill-tree ranks and cooldown tiers, equipment grades (orange/silver), guild contribution levels, arena ranks, and professional league tiers (rookie to All-Star to God-level). The entire plot is driven by leveling, dungeon clears, boss steals, and climbing the pro circuit—textbook progression fantasy applied to esports. Verified via Goodreads work description, reader reviews detailing 1728 chapters of leveling and tactical growth, and Webnovel/Qidian serialization (2011-2014).
