Ye Xiu didn't believe in the supernatural…that is until he woke up after a car accident to discover that he was no longer in his original body, but in the body of a certain Ye Chung, an average 16 years old girl with a Glory-obsessed brother, a work obsessed father and an absentee mother. Ye Xiu had always said that he could play Glory for another 10 years without getting bored; looked like he now has the chance to prove how true that was. Fem!Ye Xiu. All!Ye

Chapter 1 A Brand New Beginning

"Ye Chung!"

Was someone calling me?

"Ye Chung! Wake the hell up!"

No, not me. Who was that voice? And who was Ye Chung?

"Ye Chung, you lazy bug! If you don't wake up right now, you'll miss dinner!"

Ye Xiu's eyes snapped open and the image of a 16 years old teenage boy with messy brown hair and definitely-not Asian features immediately appeared in his field of vision, looking impatient and annoyed. He was wearing a graphic t-shirt - black with a familiar logo emblazoned at the center - and tight blue jeans. Although he looked like a foreigner from every perspective, his impeccable Chinese made Ye Xiu wonder if that was really the case.

"Finally," the boy snapped, once he noticed that Ye Xiu has finally opened his eyes. There was a certain arrogance and impatience in his voice as he spoke, reminding Ye Xiu of a young Sun Xiang, one who has yet to grow in to the mature Vice-Captain he was today. "Really, sis, how lazy are you? How you can fall asleep at 4 in the afternoon and stay that way for a whole 2 hours?"

Ye Xiu opened his mouth to say something but was unceremoniously cut off by the other.

"That was a rhetorical question." the teen rolled his eyes, his arms crossed over his chest, an expression of you-bore-me clear on his face, "I don't want to know and I don't care to know. Just get up and go eat dinner."

With his mission completed, the boy turned on his heels and left the room without another word, making sure to slam the door behind himself.

What on Earth just happened?

After the stranger had left, Ye Xiu just laid there, immobile in his admittedly rather comfortable twin sized bed, his mind a mess.

What the hell was that?

In the 10 minutes after the teenager's abrupt departure, Ye Xiu made a lot of discoveries regarding his current situation; discoveries that, unfortunately, brought up more questions then answers.

1. He was no longer in his old body, but he was, at least, still in China.

2. He was now a teenage girl by the name of Ye Chung.

3. According to the news - or to be more precise, according to the web search Ye Xiu had done a few minutes ago, Ye Xiu - the old him - had died in a car accident a few days ago.

And…

4. If Ye Xiu hadn't lost his mind, it means that he has gone through some kind of reincarnation.

The teenage boy, who had so rudely disrupted his sleep and called him a lazy bug, turned out to be Ye Chung's 17 years old brother, Ye Ling; a high school student with an obvious obsession with Glory, if the huge collection of Glory-related posters plastering his bedroom walls was anything to go by.

Oh wow…

Standing near Ye Ling's open bedroom door, Ye Xiu couldn't help but gape at what he was seeing. In truth, the 30 years old-now 16 years old had always prided himself for loving Glory more then other people, but after seeing Ye Ling and his horde of Glory memorabilia - some of which were actually limited edition items that would definitely take a lot of time and money to acquire - he was beginning to wonder if he could even be considered a fan in face of such dedication.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Ling, having noticed Ye Xiu's presence, refused his opponent's offer for a rematch, took off his headphones and turned to him, a confused look on his face.

"I was just passing by," Ye Xiu answered honestly, shrugging as was his habit, "And I saw you playing Glory. You're pretty good." Not good enough to go pro but pretty good by casual players standard, that he didn't say.

The confused look turned skeptical as a scowl crawled its way on to Ye Ling's face.

"What do you even know about Glory?" he glared, unimpressed and untouched by Ye Xiu's praise. He probably thought Ye Xiu was only saying that to try to put him in a better mood. That, Ye Ling decided, was unacceptable. "You never touched the game before. How do you know if I'm good? All you do is study."

To be asked that question, in that tone of voice, by someone who wasn't even a pro player made Ye Xiu want to laugh. What did Ye Xiu know about Glory? The better question was what didn't Ye Xiu know about Glory? 10 years of experience playing the game wasn't something to laugh at. After all, Ye Xiu wasn't called the personified Glory Textbook for nothing.

But, Ye Xiu wasn't an idiot, he didn't laugh out loud. His IQ may not be the highest among his peers but he was intelligent enough to know that considering his current identity as a 16 years old girl with no Glory experience, he was in no position to retort Ye Ling's comment.

"I want to try though," Ye Xiu said instead, giving Ye Ling a what-he-hoped-was-a sweet, angelic smile.

Ye Ling stared at her for a few moment, annoyance starting to dissipate in face of what he was seeing. And just as Ye Xiu was celebrating his win, the boy asked:

"What is wrong with your face?"

Ye Xiu's smile melted away, like the last snow on a sunny day and a sudden urge to hit this moron over the head engulfed his body. It was an urge he had only felt a few times before, mostly towards the unstoppable blabbermouth that was Huang Shao Tian, but that wasn't anything unusual. Huang Shao Tian could make anyone want to hit him over the head in order to shut him up.

Who could have thought that Ye Ling could also be this annoying?

Resist. Don't do anything. This is your brother. Ye Xiu repeated those words in his head like a mantra. It was the similar mantra he used when facing Shao Tian in the past.

"Fine," he finally hissed out, eyes blazing, "Be that way."

Without another comment, he stomped away.

If Ye Xiu was in the right state of mind - and not on the verge of a tantrum - he would have realized just how un-Ye Xiu he was acting. It couldn't be helped though; getting reincarnated in a 16 years old female's body had to have to effect on Ye Xiu's personality. Luckily, at the moment, Ye Xiu's attention wasn't on his own actions but on Ye Ling.

He wondered what Ye Chung had done in her past life to deserve such a terrible brother.

That evening, Ye Xiu met his father for the first time.

"Ah Ye Chung," the older man said, smiling at Ye Xiu tiredly over his newspaper, a cup of steaming hot liquid in front of him.

No wonder Ye Ling or Ye Chung for that matter, didn't look Asian but could speak Chinese, Ye Xiu thought, they must be Mixed-blood. The father was obviously European so the absentee mother must be the Asian one in the relationship. From Ye Xiu's experience, it was pretty unusual for an Asian parent to be so absent in their children's life but Ye Xiu wasn't curious enough to risk raising suspicion by asking why.

"Hello Father, it's good to see you back home," said Ye Xiu instead, a little surprised by the fluent English falling from his mouth.

If Ye Qiu could see him now, Ye Xiu thought non-nonsensically once he got over his surprise, chuckling a little on the inside, he would probably be green eyed with envy. Ye Xiu knew just how much effort Ye Qiu had put in to be as good of a English speaker as he was today. Hours upon hours of tedious studying and he couldn't even be considered perfectly fluent. And as for Ye Xiu? He had never put in that effort, having decided since young he wouldn't need English to play Glory.

"Is your mother home?"

Ye Xiu shook his head, brought back to reality by his father's words.

"No," he answered, wondering just where the matriarch of the family was, "She hasn't contacted us."

"Not a surprise," his father got up and folded his newspaper neatly before tucking it under his arm, "I'll be in New York for the next 2 weeks. If your mother comes back home, please tell her where I am."

"Yes father," Ye Xiu replied dutifully, mentally wondering just how dysfunctional this family can be.

"Oh one last thing."

His father suddenly stopped in his tracks and returned to Ye Xiu's side.

"For you," he said, handling over a box he extracted from his suitcase.

Ye Xiu looked inside and was surprised to find a Glory-card reader and an account card.

"My company just signed a long term contract with the game company who made Glory. The CEO gave me these as gifts. I know you don't play games but you could still take a look, it could be fun," his father smiled before uttering a good night and dissapeared up the stairs.

Could be fun, Ye Xiu mumbled to himself, a small amused grin tugging at the corner of his lips.

With his father now gone upstairs to rest, Ye Xiu cleaned up the rest of the dishes before returning to his room as well. Once there, he unceremoniously plugged in the card reader in to his computer, downloaded Glory's Game Client and logged in.

Now that he was back, it was time, Ye Xiu decided, his eyes blazing with determination and self confidence, to reclaim his throne.

TBC.
