“Ye…Xiu…?” Su Muqiu mumbled hoarsely, then coughed, blinking blearily at the man standing in shock above his bed. “…Where am I?” he finally managed to get out.

Su Muqiu wakes up from a coma, confused, to Ye Qiu blaming himself for the accident. It's good that he has such good friends, who will stick with him so that together they can regain the glory that should have always been theirs.

Blue River will Want to Cry (TKA fanfic)

Lord Grim: Want to help me research Boneyard?


Lord Grim: There are places where you can get the skeletons stuck in the spawn cracks. Help me make sure I've found them all. Also there might be a way to get the second boss stuck.


Autumn Tree: I'll take a look. Do you want me to help set the record? I can probably level up in time


Lord Grim: I have someone in mind. He'll have better equipment and is already leveled up


Autumn Tree: That'll be better then. Come on, let me check out your new strategy


Autumn Tree: Excellent Dynasty broke your record


Su Muqiu messaged Ye Xiu as soon as Lord Grim came online.


Lord Grim: How much? Oh, only 20 seconds? Well, we'll see


Autumn Tree: Are you planning to break it again?! How are you so sure? And how did they break your first one? It shouldn't be possible without our strategy


Lord Grim: I didn't use that mid-air Delivery Gun you pointed out because I didn't think that team could get the Boss in position properly. Hateful Sword was Liu Hao from Excellent Era and he used our strategy for their record, but I have someone else coming tonight


Su Muqiu watched the announcements for a new record. He was leveling in Boneyard when they came out, beating the record by 32 seconds. He ran over to congratulate them in person, since he was close. When he got there, Ye Xiu was nodding along to some noisy guy. 


Su Muqiu waited for a slight pause in the monologue. " Congratulations, this is why you were so confident!"


"Yep, he used an Orange weapon, how could we not have broken the record?" Ye Xiu gestured at Flowing Tree.


"Oh? Who is this? Your helper?" Su Muqiu asked.


"Don't tell him who I am don't tell him don't tell him—" Huang Shaotian said frantically.


"Yeah, do you remember Troubling Rain form the old server? The kill stealer?" Ye Xiu said, directly ignoring the other.


"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!" Huang Shaotian shouted. 


Ye Xiu had an idea. "Pretend to worship him," messaged to Su Muqiu. 


"Oh, you're The Troubling Rain? I love you, you are my favorite player ever! I will forever bask in the glory of being able to meet you this day."


Ye Xiu burst out laughing. " You look like you want to go die in a hole! He doesn't know who you are, it's ok."


"Yeah, um, what's your name? I'm Su Muqiu," Su Muqiu introduced.


"Fuck you fuck you fuck you! You told him to pretend to know me, you—" he yelled at Ye Xiu, then turned to Autumn Tree. "You be careful, don't let this shameless guy corrupt you too much."


"Oh? How do you know who corrupted whom?" Muqiu responded quickly, with a straight face. 


"Fuck both of you! I'm going home," Huang Shaotian complained.


"Give me back the Vampiric Lightsaber first," Ye Xiu said.


They continued leveling together when a few days later, someone named Plantago Seed, apparently the guild leader of Herb Garden, attacked Soft Mist without warning.
