The Heroines Can Hear My and the Protagonist's Inner Voice!?

"Brother Feng."

Jiang Feng stopped.

Chen Hao scratched his cheek.

"I heard."

"Everyone has."

"I didn’t ask them to..."

Jiang Feng raised one hand.

"You don’t need to explain."

Chen Hao became quiet.

Jiang Feng looked at him.

"You’re taking the starting position?"

"...Yes."

"Then earn it."

Chen Hao blinked.

Jiang Feng pressed the elevator button.

"You wanted my position."

"Now you have it."

The doors opened.

Jiang Feng stepped inside.

Before they closed...

Chen Hao called out.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Feng looked at him.

Then smiled.

"Eternal Realm launches tonight."

The doors began closing.

"I think I’ll play a game."

. . .

That evening...

Jiang Feng returned to his apartment.

It was small.

Far smaller than anyone would expect from a former world champion.

Most of his tournament earnings had gone toward family expenses and investments.

He had never cared much about luxury.

His bedroom contained little more than a bed...

A desk...

Several trophies...

And sitting beside the wall...

A brand-new full-dive capsule.

- ETERNAL REALM -

The logo glowed across its side.

Jiang Feng stood before it.

He had originally received the capsule through Titan Esports.

Management had forgotten to request its return.

Or perhaps...

They simply didn’t care.

He ran one hand across the surface.

His phone vibrated.

Notifications covered the screen.

- Titan Esports announces roster change ahead of Eternal Realm launch. -

- Former captain Jiang Feng released. -

- Chen Hao promoted to team leader. -

- Has the former champion finally fallen behind? -

- The end of an era? -

Jiang Feng scrolled.

Comments appeared beneath the articles.

Some defended him.

Others didn’t.

"He hasn’t been good for two years."

"Titan made the right choice."

"Bro is washed at 22."

"Chen Hao is way better."

"Imagine getting kicked right before the biggest game ever launches."

"Retirement incoming."

Jiang Feng stared.

Then...

He turned off the phone.

"...Washed?"

He looked toward the capsule.

A smile slowly appeared.

"Alright."

He opened it.

"Let’s see."

. . .

If Xu Ning had been there...

She would have seen something extraordinary.

Golden threads surrounded Jiang Feng.

Thousands.

Tens of thousands.

They stretched toward the unopened game capsule.

Toward Eternal Realm.

Toward hidden quests.

Legendary equipment.

Secret NPCs.

Unexplored dungeons.

First-clear rewards.

Ancient classes.

Future guild members.

Future enemies.

Future allies.

World championships.

Fate enormous enough to reshape the entire gaming industry.

And above Jiang Feng’s head...

An invisible panel displayed:

----------------

[Name: Jiang Feng]

[Identity: Fallen Professional Gamer]

[Protagonist Type: Return-to-the-Peak / VRMMORPG]

[Current Fate Value: 200,000]

[Special Trait: God-Level Gaming Talent]

[Destined Path: Eternal Realm Supreme Player]

[Able to Die: No]

[Current Destiny Stage: Beginning of the Comeback]

----------------

The game capsule closed.

Darkness surrounded Jiang Feng.

A voice appeared.

[Neural connection established.]

[Identity confirmed.]

[Welcome to Eternal Realm.]

Jiang Feng’s eyes opened.

And an entirely new world appeared before him.

. . .

Meanwhile...

Jiang Feng wasn’t the only person beginning a new Chapter.

At a quiet private garden belonging to the Shen Family...

Shen Tian sat beneath a large tree.

The afternoon sunlight passed through the leaves.

A small pond rested nearby.

Fish occasionally disturbed the surface.

Sitting beside him...

Was Chi Lingxi.

Neither had spoken much.

They didn’t need to.

The past several days had been difficult for her.

Sometimes...

She seemed alright.

Then something small would remind her.

An empty chair.

A particular food.

A joke her grandfather would’ve made.

A message she almost sent him.

And suddenly...

The grief returned.

Shen Tian hadn’t tried to force her out of it.

He didn’t tell her she needed to be strong.

He didn’t tell her to stop crying.

He simply...

Stayed nearby.

Today...

Chi Lingxi had asked to see him.

So he had brought her somewhere quiet.

Away from the mansion.

Away from everyone else.

Away from questions.

Chi Lingxi sat with her knees pulled slightly closer.

Her eyes remained on the pond.

Shen Tian sat beside her.

Several minutes passed.

Then...

Chi Lingxi spoke.

"Shen Tian."

"Hm?"

"Do you really think you can do it?"

He knew exactly what she meant.

"Bring your grandfather back?"

She nodded.

Shen Tian didn’t answer immediately.

He had spent days researching.

Cultivation records.

Ancient texts.

System information.

Anything Xu Ning could access.

The answer remained complicated.

Revival existed.

But true resurrection...

Not possession.

Not turning someone into an undead creature.

Not placing memories inside another body.

Actually bringing the same person back...

Was far more difficult.

Shen Tian looked toward her.

"I still don’t know how."

Chi Lingxi lowered her eyes.

"But..."

He continued.

"I know it’s possible."

She looked back.

"Really?"

"Really."

"You’re not just saying that because..."

She stopped.

"Because you’re worried about me?"

"Partially."

Chi Lingxi blinked.

Shen Tian smiled faintly.

"I am worried about you. But I wouldn’t lie about something like this."

He looked toward the pond.

"There are other worlds beyond ours. Techniques we haven’t discovered. People powerful enough to do things that would sound impossible here. I’ve seen enough now to know that."

Chi Lingxi listened quietly.

Shen Tian continued.

"So I’m going to keep looking. For as long as it takes."

Her eyes became wet.

She quickly looked away.

"...You’re too good to me."

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"That’s questionable."

She laughed weakly.

"No. It’s true."

She wiped beneath one eye.

"You barely knew me. Then you invited Mom and me out. You helped us. You saved me. You gave us all that money. And now..."

Her voice became quieter.

"You’re promising to do something impossible because I’m sad."

Shen Tian shook his head.

"Not because you’re sad."

Chi Lingxi looked at him.

"Because I gave you my word."

She became silent.

Shen Tian leaned back against the tree.

"And I don’t intend to break it."

Chi Lingxi stared at him.

That familiar warmth returned.

The same feeling she’d experienced during the street race.

The same feeling she’d felt when Shen Tian opened the prize case and simply handed it to her.

The same feeling she’d been trying to understand for days.

Except...

She already understood.
