As they stood behind the stage curtains, the roar of the crowd beyond reached their ears—waves of cheers, excitement, and energy filling the Hong Kong City Stadium.
The night sky above the harbor was lit up like a festival. In the distance, the city’s skyline glittered, reflecting the spirit of a new generation of digital entertainment. Myth Game’s seasonal tournament wasn’t just another competition—it had become a cultural phenomenon, drawing in not only avid gamers but also curious spectators, media professionals, and industry veterans.
When the event’s host stepped into the spotlight and began the opening speech with passionate fervor, the atmosphere erupted into applause. The competition was officially underway.
On the massive LED screen suspended above the stadium, live footage of the in-game action unfolded, showcasing dramatic face-offs between the country’s six top-tier teams. Each team, handpicked from hundreds of applicants, represented the pinnacle of skill and strategy. These were not just players—they were national representatives, fighting for glory and the fulfillment of their dreams.
Outside the venue, millions watched through simultaneous television and mobile livestreams. The electrifying atmosphere extended beyond the stadium walls, uniting fans across the country in a shared moment of competitive gaming history.
Over thirty media outlets had gathered at the scene, their reporters and bloggers documenting every heartbeat of the event from unique angles. Tactical analysts broke down plays and strategies in real-time. Game reviewers debated the balance of the new patch updates and praised the creative innovation behind the Myth Game’s evolving gameplay.

As the matches advanced, the intensity inside the stadium climbed. Each precision kill, every unexpected counterattack, and all masterful team synergies drew roars from the crowd. It was a celebration of skill, effort, and passion. When the MIK team emerged in the final round and displayed remarkable coordination and explosive strength, the audience erupted.
Their every move seemed instinctual, synchronized with a level of communication that stunned even seasoned commentators.
Despite their youth—the average age of the MIK players was barely eighteen—they exuded the composure and hunger of professionals. In the closing minutes of the final match, when they executed a flawless strategy and claimed victory, the crowd leapt to its feet.
The MIK team huddled together at center stage, arms wrapped tightly around one another, their eyes wet with the tears of triumph. The months of training, sacrifices, and dedication had finally borne fruit.
Camera flashes lit up the stadium like a meteor shower, all lenses focused on the young champions. Their victorious image was projected across the screen in a sweeping cinematic frame—this was their moment, and they stood tall on the stage they had earned.
Backstage, Han Zaijing watched with quiet pride. Her heart swelled at the sight. To her, this event was more than a competition—it was a culmination of dreams, the embodiment of a vision that had started as a mere spark. Now, it was a blazing fire lighting the way for the future of professional gaming.
After the championship ceremony, Han Zaijing walked to the front of the stage to meet the winning team. She extended her hand to the MIK captain, a young man whose face still bore the traces of tears.
“Congratulations,” she said sincerely, her voice warm. “You were phenomenal out there.”
The captain gripped her hand firmly, his voice hoarse with emotion. “Thank you, Miss Han. We’ll keep fighting—we won’t let you down.”
The event not only elevated MIK into the national spotlight but also helped dispel lingering stereotypes about gaming culture. Myth Game was no longer just a pastime—it had become a symbol of aspiration, a platform for excellence.
At the closing ceremony, Han Zaijing announced a massive update: moving forward, the tournament would carry a 10 million yuan prize pool across all four seasons annually, with plans to scale internationally the following year. The goal was clear: to establish Myth Game as the premier, most professional competitive platform in Asia—and soon, the world.
As her voice rang out in the stadium, signaling the end of the event, she made one final announcement that brought the house down.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” she declared from the center of the stage, her voice full of determination and pride, “I am honored to announce that all shares have been fully subscribed. Myth Games will be officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange tomorrow—making us the fastest company to go public in China’s history!”
The crowd erupted into thunderous applause. Cameras flashed like lightning, capturing the moment from every angle. Han Zaijing stood tall, composed yet glowing with emotion. She understood the significance: this wasn’t just a listing—it was the realization of countless people’s dreams, built on years of faith and tenacity.
The next day, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was abuzz with excitement. Traders moved briskly, monitoring the tickers scrolling across the massive electronic screens. Amid this hive of financial activity, a special listing ceremony was about to begin.
Han Zaijing arrived with her closest allies—Jiang Shutong, Jiang Wan, Liang Zheng, and other key members of the Myth Games leadership. Dressed sharply in tailored suits and elegant dresses, they walked confidently to the ceremonial stage. Friends, family, and media representatives filled the hall, all gathered to witness the landmark moment.
Liang Zheng leaned toward Han Zaijing, his voice a whisper of wonder. “Is this really happening? We made it.”
Han Zaijing gave a small, proud smile. “Yes. This is the result of everything we’ve worked for—together.”
Standing beside them, Jiang Shutong was visibly moved. She had witnessed the company’s journey from its humble beginnings to this moment of triumph. For her, today’s success was a powerful validation of the vision she had believed in.
The emcee stepped onto the stage, his voice echoing across the chamber. “Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the official listing ceremony of Myth Games. Today, we celebrate a new chapter in the industry and the rise of a visionary company.”
With the crowd holding its breath, Han Zaijing, Jiang Shutong, Jiang Wan, and Liang Zheng were invited to the stage. A large bronze bell stood at the center—a symbol of the birth of a publicly listed company.
“Please welcome Miss Han Zaijing to strike the listing bell!” the emcee announced.
Han Zaijing stepped forward. She paused, took in the crowd, the lights, and the weight of the moment. Then she lifted the mallet and struck the bell. The resonant sound rang through the exchange hall, a triumphant peal signaling the dawn of a new era.
As the company’s stock code flashed onto the screen and trading began, the numbers climbed rapidly. Investors showed strong faith in the company’s future. Behind the scenes, the Myth team celebrated quietly, proud smiles all around.
