Chapter 54
[Victory]
[+ 9 LP]
[2000 LP]
Seeing the letters pop up, I let out a deep sigh.
“Phew…”
Just how engrossed was I? It’s still cold enough to be called winter, yet the room is steaming.
Catching my breath, I slowly clicked on the ranking section of the stats site I had opened beforehand.

Should I say finally? Or maybe at last?
I can’t quite figure out what expression to use.
Solo rank 2000 points.
I have stepped into the uncharted territory that no one had dared approach before.
Honestly, I didn’t think I would get this far.
No, even if I could, I figured I’d lose quite a lot along the way.
After all, having a flawless record at 2000 points made no sense.
But I achieved 2000 points without a single loss.
I was left speechless by my own accomplishment.
“I did it…”
For some reason, my eyes felt a bit teary.
It must be because of the flood of emotions.
…Or maybe it’s hormones.
After a few deep breaths to regain my composure, I logged into the community.
Even if I’m leaving, I should at least catch a glimpse of the real-time reactions, right?
– Prisoner is a god, currently playing Legends of League. Prisoner is a god, currently playing Legends of League. Prisoner is a god, currently playing Legends of League. Prisoner is a god, currently playing Legends of League. Prisoner is a god, currently playing Legends of League.
– Congrats Prisoner for being the first to break 2000 points!

– An amateur reaching 2000 points, lol. Looks like the pros need to eat dirt, haha.
– Isn’t Rainbow just a bubble? Getting wrecked by an amateur???
– This is really ridiculous… Prisoner is a legend…
The moment I opened the community, a whirlwind of messages praising Prisoner filled the screen.
Honestly… it’s a bit overwhelming.
Sure, it’s overwhelming, but I kept reading through the posts.

Rainbow said that if Prisoner had been the opponent in the Red Cup finals victory interview, they wouldn’t have won.
Surprisingly, that’s a fact.
────────
– As expected from a winner’s insight, lol.
– Did you already know?
– Rainbow… what are you even?

Why shooting stars fall. Fact

With every refresh, the community page changed by the second.
It was literally insane firepower.
The attention on Prisoner was that heated.
‘But it’s only for now.’
Do people know?
That today, Prisoner will disappear.
‘It’s bound to cause a ruckus.’
An amateur who is the first to hit 2000 points suddenly vanishes on the same day…
There will be all sorts of speculation and suspicion.
‘Still, it’s something I have to do.’
As I was about to log off the Legends of League client, my gaze suddenly stopped on the friends list.
+
[SY Rainbow]
Online.

Rainbow.
Looking back now, it was quite a long relationship.
After starting Legends of League, I naturally became something like a friend after running into each other one or two games here and there.
Even before Rainbow debuted as a pro, we played other games together quite often.
Maybe that’s why.
[Me: Mr. Rainbow]
[Me: I have something to say.]
It was a small whim.
If it were normal, I would have planned to vanish without telling a soul about Prisoner’s end.
Since I was disappearing anyway, I didn’t want to burden anyone else unnecessarily.
But even so, I felt that telling Rainbow was a matter of last courtesy.
[SY Rainbow: Yep]
[SY Rainbow: Ah, congratulations on 2000 points. Wow.]
[SY Rainbow: Seriously… I can’t win a single match. Amazing, amazing.]
[Me: Haha, thanks a lot.]
A brief silence followed.
I needed a moment to gather my thoughts.
“Whew…”
Steadying my breath, I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard.
[Me: So… it seems I might have a bit of difficulty playing from now on.]
[SY Rainbow: Huh?]
[Me: It’s been fun ㅎㅎ]
[SY Rainbow: What do you mean… is something wrong?]
[Me: Personal reasons.]
[Me: Ah, I think I need to be going now. Take care!]
With that, I concluded my conversation and logged off the Legends of League client.
It felt as if I only said my part and finished, but that was just right.
If the conversation with Rainbow dragged on, I might have changed my mind.
‘That said, saying something as heavy as life and death feels a bit extreme.’
If it were anyone else, it might not matter, but somehow, that felt like a lie I shouldn’t tell Rainbow.
So this was the right amount.
After logging off, I immediately accessed the Legends of League homepage.
[Login]
Since I don’t usually log into the homepage, the login screen felt strangely unfamiliar.
[Account Management]
I clicked through the procedure carefully, one click at a time.
[A verification code has been sent to the Eu@g* address. Please enter the verification code.]
‘What? Was there this feature?’
Well, it makes sense I wouldn’t have experience since I hardly ever click on account management.
[Account Deletion]
Finally, seeing the words appear, I unconsciously hesitated with the mouse.
Of course, it would be fine to leave the account untouched since I wouldn’t be logging in again.
But I didn’t want to show the disgrace of the Prisoner account collapsing in front of everyone.
Dropping into inactivity,
no longer being first, nor even a Challenger,
bitterly fading into a memory.
So it’s better to end it here.
“……”
For some reason, my hand didn’t move easily.
It was inevitable.
Prisoner.
Prisoner was almost my life itself.
If someone asked what value there is in the life of Yoo-jin, without a moment’s hesitation, I would answer Prisoner.
Prisoner’s life is everything I’ve built so far.
I was Prisoner, and Prisoner was me.
And now, I must end the part of Prisoner with my own hands.
Even knowing this, I found it hard to move my hand.
‘But… I guess I have to.’
Steeling my resolve, I slowly moved the mouse.
[Processing Withdrawal]
“……”
I was prepared.
All that’s left is action.
[Are you really sure you want to withdraw?]
[Please enter your password.]
The life of a prisoner has finally come to an end.
Now, I will greet true freedom.
[Account withdrawal completed.]
Not as Prisoner,
but solely as me.
