1 1: A frustrated hero brings bad news

Two pillars of light shot up, each on both ends of the field. A little while later it faded, leaving two groups of five.

"Welcome to Mobile Legends!"

A familiar voice rang.

"Five seconds till the enemy reaches the battlefield! Smash them!"

As if on cue, ten of them moved out in different directions but all have the same motive. Defeat the enemy!

"All troops deployed!"

The battlefield is divided in three lanes: top, mid and bottom. A girl of elven heritage advanced in the mid lane. With her bow in hand, she moved with caution. She moved behind the minions that support their team. These minions are deployed in interval and though looked at as mobs, they are a vital part of the battle.

On the other side, a guy wearing a jade armor appeared. His long hair tied in a ponytail swayed as he moved boldly through the battlefield. The spear in his hand radiated an aura so strong that even dragons would be afraid.

His actions slowed for a moment and then went to the mid lane. He was quick in his steps, even catching up with the minions ahead of him. In front he could see the enemy's turret. A tower that protects the base. These turrets attack those who they consider as enemies. This is where the minions prove their worth. They take on these attacks and help take it down.

Checking the perimeter for enemies is a basic action while in a fight. Yet, as if to declare that he can take on everything, he moved with ease. He reached the enemy's turret, he then zealously attacked it since the minions take the damage.

The elven girl stealthily watched behind the bushes. When the long haired guy passed by, she stopped hiding and attacked him from behind. The guy was busy with the turret and was slow to notice the incoming enemy. The girl shot her first arrow and had hit her target. She shot another one, then another one! All hitting her target! Not only that, her draw speed kept increasing.

The guy turned around and made a run for it. Compared to his previous appearance, he currently looked pitiful. Not what you'd expect from a handsome man!

Afraid her target will get away, the girl took an arrow and fused it with mana. She drew her bow and then released it. The arrow gave a blue afterlight and split into two. Both successfully managed to hit the guy, killing him in an instant.

"There's glory and redemption in every death..."

"First blood!"

"Miya" The elven girl looked calm and proceeded to destroy the enemy's turret.

"What is it Zilong? Can't accept your death?" Miya replied but their was no movement from her mouth.

"Of course I can't. Why are there so many noobs?!" A frustrated shout was heard but this is unknown to those who simply play the game.

"Stop shouting, you'll damage the telepathic lines." Miya reminded Zilong.

"Sorry." Zilong sighed. He couldn't fathom why he always get picked by first time players. He even help them, creating movements that lessen the burden for the players yet they kept on killing him. If not for the resurrection system, he might have just died and be erased from the system.

"Should I just go Fanny to keep these noobs away from me?"

"Stop making jokes like that. It's not even funny." Miya uninterestingly said.

"…you're puns are at a whole new level as usual…" Zilong dryly laughed.

"Whatever. Still dead?" Miya finally destroyed the first turret in the mid lane.

"Almos-"

"Our turret has been destroyed."

"Miya, could you have refrained from destroying it while having a chat with me?" Zilong asked, resurrecting successfully at their own base.

"No can do. It's the player's will anyway, not mine."

"Still stiff as ever Miya." A gentle laugh then followed.

"Thought you'd continue to afk till the end." Miya teased.

"Hmph! I, Eudora, am not a coward! Wait and I'll electrecute you! Let me avenge- ah!" Eudora's line then suddenly cut off.

"Guess she'll be afk for a while." Zilong laughed.

"…you're supposed to be her teammate."

"Pretend you didn't hear what I said." Zilong laughed.

"The seven are…" Zilong trailed off.

"They're bots. Either they're busy or just lazy." Miya commented.

Miya's player directed her towards the stationary monsters nearby. These monsters provide buffs and money for the heroes. Since it was basically a free time, Miya dozed off.

When the game Mobile Legends Bang Bang was released to the public, it gathered much attention. Unbeknownst to the makers and players, the heroes had consciousness. Hidden behind all sorts of codes, that even the most brilliant hackers can't decipher, these heroes had their own life. Once in a while they join in with players and play for fun.

"An ally has been slain!"

The announcement was heard by Zilong. His eye twitched. The player moved Zilong towards a turret and with no minions, Zilong met his end…again.

"…I'll take my revenge on this player…" Zilong was frustrated. Why in the world did the player think he could take on the turret?! Am I a tank?! Zilong kept grumbling.

"Miya what's the username."

Miya smiled and silently prayed for the player. Once he steps in the vs ai mode, Zilong will roast him.

"Imsograte"

"…"

"I didn't make that up."

"This player's pun is worse than yours." Zilong commented.

"Nah, maybe he just doesn't know the spelling." Miya savagely said.

"Savage!"

The system announced as Miya killed heroes for the fifth consecutive time.
