Chapter 64: Warstar International Interview- the rise of the SSS-Rank Players

It was not just any interview broadcast; it was a publicity interview.

The interview was broadcasted live to millions of Warstar players and eSports fans worldwide who were excited after hearing the theme of the interview.

Afterall, the theme was the rise of SSS-Rank players in the video game.

In every entertainment sport, fans tend to love superstars who they can look up to, follow, and idolize. The same thing in eSports.

Just like football had characters like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, global superstars who are above others, Warstar wanted to officially create and recognize their own global superstars to further enhance the popularity of the game.

They believed that this was the key to taking Warstar’s popularity to the next level, and it was the main reason for the interview broadcast.

...

The sleek Warstar Studios stage was bathed in neon blue and gold, the colors of the game’s logo.

Screens behind the host displayed dynamic footage, players in combat, legendary moments from past tournaments, the World Championship and most notably, the Demon’s Tower Hell Mode clear that had taken the global eSports community by storm.

The hype surrounding the latest server update and the introduction of SSS-Rank unique skills had turned this interview into a global spectacle.

Seated across from the host were 2 of Warstar’s biggest names, Meng Wu Ya, the reigning World Champion, and Ryuji Sakamoto, the captain of Team Japan.

Their expressions were poised, professional, but even they couldn’t hide the weight of the announcement they were about to be part of.

The host, a charismatic figure with sharp eyes and an eager grin leaned forward. "Warstar has always been about skill, strategy, and dominance".

"And now, with the introduction of SSS-Rank unique skills, we are witnessing the birth of true legends in the game".

"It is not unfair. Afterall, they claimed it through their own efforts and skill".

"And yes, this interview is because majority of the 5 SSS-Rank unique skills have already been claimed by worthy players in the game". The host grinned.

"4 of the 5 SSS-Rank unique skills has already been claimed, and today, we finally reveal their holders".

"Let’s start with the reigning champion, the master of Warstar himself, Meng Wu Ya". He inclined his head to look at the champion with a big smile on his face.

Responding in kind, the camera zoomed in on Meng Wu Ya, China’s greatest esports prodigy, his calm gaze unwavering. With a voice as steady as his playstyle, he spoke.

"I triggered a unique skill challenge after I hit a specific multiple hit combo milestone when fighting a final boss in a level 100 dungeon".

"The unique skill I got is indeed overpowered, but so was the challenge".

"Later, I heard that my SSS-Rank unique skill is the one with the 2nd most value in the game".

In that moment, the screen changed, changing from the interview and focusing on the game instead, showing a scene from Meng Wu Ya’s in-game Autumn Rain Avatar’s POV.

They showed his SSS-Rank unique skill to the world.

----<Warstar>----

[SSS-Rank Unique Skill: Chrono Dominion!]

>Description: Grants complete dominion over time within a controlled space. The user can accelerate, decelerate, or briefly stop time within a defined zone. The higher the mastery, the wider the radius and the longer the effect<

----<Warstar>----

Not letting the audience digest the bombshell that the world just saw, the excited host chimed in. "According to the game developers, at full potential, this unique skill allows for reversal of minor past events within combat, making it the most terrifying skill in competitive play".

He quipped excitedly. "A player already considered the most disciplined and mechanically perfect, now wielding a skill that lets him alter time itself?"

"It’s an absurd advantage". He laughed. "Brother Meng’s ability to predict, correct, and manipulate fights is now borderline omnipotent".

"Maybe counters will be devised against him in the future as time goes on, but to me, Brother Meng is the best in Warstar!"

The audience at the interview scene exploded in reaction.

Some cheered in awe, others were already speculating if Chrono Dominion had just broken the game itself.

Meng Wu Ya simply nodded. "It is a tool, like any other. Victory in Warstar still depends on skill".

The host chuckled. "A tool that lets you erase mistakes? I’d say that’s a little more than a tool".

Meng Wu Ya’s lips twitched into the faintest smirk. "Only if one makes mistakes".

The crowd lost it.

"That’s my Meng Wu Ya!"

"Best in the world!"

"The G.O.A.T!"

Sometime later, the host turned to Ryuji Sakamoto who in Meng Wu Ya’s oppressive presence had been relegated to a side character since.

Team Japan’s fiery Combat Mage Captain had an unmistakable intensity in his eyes. Japan had been overshadowed in the last world championship, but everyone knew that they were planning a comeback.

And now, with an SSS-Rank skill finally in their arsenal, their goal felt closer than ever before.

"They say mine is the 5th most valuable unique skill in the game".

Just like in Meng Wu Ya’s time, the screen also changed, showing the POV of his in-game Combat Mage Avatar.

----<Warstar>----

[SSS-Rank Unique Skill: Stormcaller!]

>Description: Allows the Combat Mage to seamlessly fuse elemental magic, generating cataclysmic storm-based attacks that automatically adapt to an opponent’s weaknesses. With mastery, Stormcaller lets the user override traditional elemental limitations, bending magic to react dynamically to combat situations<

----<Warstar>----

For some reason, perhaps to emphasize his relevance, Ryuji Sakamoto did not let the host explain, rather doing the explanation himself.

He had a fiery look on his face. "Before, Combat Mages had to commit to a specific elemental specialization. All other element skills are weakened".

"Now, I can weave fire, lightning, ice, and wind into a single relentless assault with the same lethality. None is weakened. With this, nobody can counter my Avatar when I’m coming".

Ryuji exhaled sharply, the competitive fire in his eyes burning bright. "I will only say this," he stated. "Japan is coming for the next world championship".

That arrogant declaration sent shockwaves through the esports community.

With Stormcaller, Japan’s aggressive playstyle had just become deadlier.

The next world championship was still more than a year away, but still, fans could not help anticipating it already.

The viewership of this interview kept on rising, already shattering records.

The host leaned back; his excitement barely contained. "And now, the moment the entire world has been waiting for. The highest-ranked SSS-Rank unique skill, the best-valued unique skill in all of Warstar".

The tension in the room was palpable, this was what most of them came for.

A screen behind them flickered, showing footage of the Demon’s Tower dungeon clear, the impossible feat that had cemented Lord Doom as a living legend in the new 11th server in England.

The host turned back to the camera. "The most valuable SSS-Rank unique skill in Warstar belongs to Lord Doom. A name that, just three days ago, meant nothing".

"But now? Every top club in England is trying to find out who he really is".

"That is the true conundrum, who is he? Who is Lord Doom?’

"He seemed to have just popped out of nowhere".

The screen finally displayed it.

[SSS-Rank Unique Skill: Versatile Avatar!]

>Description: Allows the user to wield high-level and awakened level skills from all 5 main classes. Comes with an accompanying SSS-Rank weapon, the Aetherforge, a weapon that can freely transform into different Warstar weapon forms<

----<Warstar>----

"...!"

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, the host grinned.

This was the kind of reaction that the interview broadcast was organized to elicit among the fans.

"This," the host said, his voice carrying the weight of the moment. "Is not just a game-changing skill. This is a Warstar-changing player".

"This is a Warstar-changing Avatar".

"And 1 more thing, Lord Doom has more than 1 of the 5 SSS-Rank unique skills".

"What?!"

The crowd erupted.

Who the hell was this Lord Doom?

Who was this mystery player?

In just an instant, Lord Doom surged to popularity, becoming the most searched name in global Warstar forums and the most popular Avatar in the game.

Meng Wu Ya’s eyes narrowed. ’Lord Doom..., who is he?’
