The Steel Throne

Red came into his team. He saw his teammates.

Rodrigo was the tanker for the team. His character, Iron Golem was slow but it could accept huge damage while absorbing damage from the enemies.

Matteo was the team carry. In both fights, he was too slow to build his character, Pandarium Monk than the enemy's carry. His damage dealer position even taken by Jason in the first game. Most of it was because the opponent banned the character that he used to play, the Elf Hunter.

Rehaan is the disabler. His character, Venomous Viper was both a stunner and an AoE damage dealer for enemy creeps. He was also the mid-laner of P-Tigre. The mid-laner character had responsibility to protect the mid lanes from opponent creeps and also to support the other two lanes in danger.

Andi is the support. He played a buffer character, Troll Priest. Normally he would follow Matteo until he grew stronger. After that, he would become an observer who scouted the enemy while giving buffs to his friend before the team fight with the opponent.

Jason himself was the jungler with Grizzle Orc. He also positioned as the ganker with the Orc burst damage. However, he was ambushed twice during this time. It was usually Andi's duty to find the opponent and prevent the teammates to be ambushed.

"Jason, can you participate in the third game?" Martinez was the manager of the team. V-Light was a strong team. They always got the victory as their name said. P-Tigre needed to win the next match or they would lose the game.

"I am." Red was confident. He got enough memory of Jason. Jason was a professional athlete who had studied every character ability. Red himself had reached 10 Star as a gamer during his life as an Arch God. His reflex and experience were unmatched by these young athletes.

"Good. You will return to the team. Ernest, you will return to the subs." Martinez said. Ernest was the subs of the team. He didn't strong in a certain job, but he could play as a ganker, support, or disabler.

"We will go with a similar strategy. Rehaan is still in the mid lane. You will start as the pusher. Keep the opponent from destroying our tower there. Use your character AoE attack! Try to unlock all skills in the first 10 minutes. After that, team up with Jason to gank the enemy carry or jungler!"

"Matteo, you will be supported by Andi. This time, you should avoid the lane if you met with their disabler."

"Andi, after Matteo reached level 20, you should be more aggressive. Open more field vision for your teammates."

The team continued to plan their strategy. On the other side of the stage, the V-Light continued to decide their strategy.

"That's it! You started to enter the dive machine again." Martinez concluded the team talk. It was already hard to win in this condition.

While the manager talking, Red was more focused on Jason's dream or his Destiny Missions. The Destiny Missions were his goal for his reincarnation as Jason. Each would reward him with energy for his cultivation.

[Lv 3 Mission: Win the Steel Throne MVP.]

[Lv 2 Mission: Win the world league with the P-Tigre.]

[Lv 1 Mission: Become a professional eSport Player.]

[What is this?] Red accepted those mission.

[Lv 1 Mission: Become a professional eSport Player.]

[Mission Completed]

[User got 1 Special Destiny Energies.]

Red knew this. If he absorbed this, he would become a cultivator again.

[This isn't the right time. I will release impurity after I become a cultivator. This isn't the right location. I want to save it, for now, Master Rabbink.] Red thought.

"Ok. I will keep it. Now go and play the game, this Rabbink wants to watch it." Master Rabbink ran into the dome.

Red didn't know where the Rabbink went.

Red came into a black pod in the center of the stage. It was metallic steel with a black matte finish. The was the reason for the Steel Throne name. He took a small dark blue card from his clothes. The dark blue card was the ID card for identification in the Steel Throne.

Red tapped the card and the machine slightly raised its front, left, and right covers. Those covers were a unit that lifted up to give the player the access to the neural bed inside the machine. Its design was inspired by an aircraft canopy.

Red moved to enter the cabin inside the machine. He felt the soft gel bed.

[This is cool and likes floating on the water.] Red thought. He always fascinated by the advanced modern world. [Technology is also a magical wonder.]

The machine cover started to return to its position after it detected Red was inside the cabin. There were sensors to prevent an accident.

Red started to lose his eyesight. A cold metal arm started to cover his back neck. Red felt a bit cold.

[This machine connected the neural with the machine using this area.] He thought. It wasn't long before he didn't feel his real body.

The time, he could sense his surrounding, he appeared in a metallic tube room. His current body was an all-white humanoid robot.

In front of him, a panel appeared. There were various characters on it. Red used Jason's memory to pick a character.

"Let return to the third match with your favorite streamer CURSEboy."

"The P-Tigre, the impotent Tiger has replaced the SilentBoy with NoobKid23D again. Wait he input his new name, RedEverflame. Has he ever thought about his team demise soon? Your beloved streamer has picked V-Light for this match."

"Look at what both teams picked for this match. Both had banned three characters for each of the team. P-Tigre picks Iron Golem for their tanker. Once again, they have Pandarium Monk as their carry and main damage dealer. Their disabler who also the pusher is the Venomous Viper. They changed a strategy. The Troll Priest is replaced by Shining Angel. They want to use a character with higher mobility to reduce the gank. And Wow... This is a surprise. Really a surprise."

"Ahem... It is a surprise pick, NoobKid23D also changed. He is a famous Grizzle Orc user. He changed his nickname and also perhaps his play style. RedEverflame picked the Ice Phoenix. Rather than a jungler, this character was more a disabler with the bird's freezing ability. This is a hard character to play."

"Most people would avoid using non-humanoid character since it is hard to control. The P-Tigre used two non-humanoid characters now, a Viper and a Phoenix."

"Their opponent still used the last setting. Their carrier also their line-pusher is Merlin the Wiz. Shining Elf is also still used as a jungler and ganker. The Troll Shaman is still used as the disabler. While they used Dwarf Healer as a support. It is a unique option since this support has high defense. Their tanker is also Devotion Crusader which could protect his teammates. It won't be easy for the Tigre. Once again, my bet is with the V-Light."

Martinez was shocked. It was outside his strategy when Jason picked up another disabler. It would be hard for them in the jungle killing competition.

[I have to discipline Jason after this match.] He thought.
