Viktor crouches next to him on the ground, cane leaning against his shoulder, and raises an impeccable eyebrow. Viktor distinctly does not swoon. Jayce wants to play the disparaged martyr. Before the world ended and Jayce finds himself sitting behind a curtain, drinking coffee and tap water while three people tell him his outfit looks stupid, and he wonders if his ability to make shit up on the spot will finally fail him this time, he used to earn his daily bread working part-time as a hairdresser between classes and crawling through vents for Kiramman.
His mother thought it would humble him. Instead, Jayce developed the unfortunate ability to shit-talk everyone in their neighborhood, the uncanny supernatural talents of synchronizing with little old ladies, and an unflinching ear for gossip, all while wielding sharp things in his hands with dubious precision.
Viktor was contracted by Clan Medarda to steal things from people sometimes. They were very proud of each other. Viktor tugs on his hair. Jayce moans. Perhaps I enjoy seeing you on your knees, begging for forgiveness. Jayce returns to divine forces and begs them to swallow him into a neverending chasm. Jayce bows his head in contrition, and Viktor is standing on a rooftop somewhere laughing his ass off.
Viktor swings himself off the roof once she leaves, wiping the questionable grub of the railings he hauled himself over on his pants as Jayce breathes deeply, counting to ten, and flicks the lights on. Viktor allows his hair to be tugged. The heat and the wetness of occasional summer rains brought the bugs, yes? He sits Viktor down, drapes the styling cloak on his shoulders, skims his fingers through his hair, and marvels at the roughness sifting through his fingers.
Jayce generously performs a move that used to get him caned by grandmothers: dabbing it off with his sleeve. Viktor cranks open one brown eye to glare at him, before settling back down while Jayce gathers his wet hair into his hand and squeezes. That was where people went to get inked if they wanted a semi-respectable job.
Now, Viktor walks his fingers down Jayce's neck, and he nearly drops the bottle in shock. Viktor retracts his arms and closes his eyes with the speed of a fleeing gopher, one of his beautiful obnoxious half-smiles twitching frantically upwards, before Jayce can discover the triple-joint that somehow hinges his shoulder to his torso.
Viktor does not. He knows too much. Oh, you unsullied toddler. Viktor closes the book with a definite thump and tosses it onto the counter. Jayce blinks. Do you need five minutes to snap back and form an ulcer?
Go on, prove yourself, you salivating, eager, dog. Jayce hopes Caitlyn never interacts with an actual human child. Maybe her girlfriend will stop her.
Viktor glances up. Jayce licks a line down his neck and pulls all three of his fingers out at once. Jayce cites the lack of oxygen content in his brain for the enthusiastic agreement which catalyzes the unfortunate events that follow. This coat looks terrible on you. Put this on. Piltovans are so delightful. Viktor sighs heavily. How on Earth were you bred in the Kiramman estate? Jayce attempts to explain to her that Caitlyn is a darkin incarnate and the secret corrupting force of Piltover.
As usual, no one believes him. Jayce flashes his most charming smile. Several hours later past his promised respite, he senses a horrible sort of concentrated unholy energy and ducks behind a bannister to find Viktor. Do you know what cheese goes with a shrimp plate? What can I say? Viktor kisses him in reply. Maybe Jayce wails a little. Viktor pushes a finger in, and Jayce flails, bracing his arms behind him on the desk.
Jayce shudders, arms trembling against the deck, as Viktor finds his prostate, pulls himself back to watch his fingers work, and he feels all sorts of terribly bare. Additionally, champions have increased movement speed, reduced healing, faster passive gold gain, and faster attacks. League of Legends is funded through microtransactions using Riot Points RP , an in-game currency that can be purchased by players in the client store. RP can be used to purchase champions, champion skins, ward skins, summoner icons, emotes, and certain multi-game boosts.
An additional currency, Blue Essence BE known as Influence Points from — , is earned by playing the game and leveling up. League of Legends is free-to-play and all in-game purchases with a material effect on game-play may be acquired by either RP or BE.
The final currency, Orange Essence OE , can be used to unlock champion skins, ward skins, summoner icons, and emotes via the 'Hextech Crafting'. League of Legends takes place in the fictional world of Runeterra.
In Runeterra, the champions of League of Legends are a collection of heroes and villains who have a variety of backstories, often related to the political struggles of the various countries of the main continent of Valoran. Additionally, some champions are extraplanar and come from worlds other than Runeterra, but are visiting for their own purposes. These champions sometimes clash with each other, roughly reflected in the gameplay of League of Legends.
The setting has gone through two phases: the 'original' setting that was canon from —, and the rebooted setting from —present. The MOBA predecessor to League , Defense of the Ancients , featured two warring sides with two separate hero rosters; however, in League , any combination of champions was legal to create a team. To explain this, in the original setting, Valoran was functionally ruled by extremely powerful time mages who could intimidate the other nations into compliance with their whims.
They created the 'Institute of War', also known as the 'League of Legends', to resolve disputes and act as something like an international sports league. In these disputes, 'Summoners' a. Additionally, these time mages would actually power-down the characters to 'level 1' before each match to make things 'fair'; some character's backstories even involved them explicitly having their powers sealed by the Institute of War due to them being too powerful otherwise, such as the demigoddesses Kayle and Morgana.
This explained why characters might participate in multiple matches and have to relearn the same skills each time. After a match, a 'Judgment' would sometimes be handed down, with the winning Summoners able to give land and privileges to those they favored.
The narrative team at Riot eventually decided this setup was too constraining, and 'rebooted' the story behind League of Legends in Many champion's lore did not give them reason to join the Institute, such as serial killer fire spirit Brand or void monster Rek'Sai.
Riot wished to let champions take the center stage and have stories of their own, pursuing their own unique goals. For example, Riot has since released a plotline about a lost empire in the Shurima desert [38] and a plotline about a clash between the pirate Gangplank and the pirate-hunter Miss Fortune in the city of Bilgewater, [39] both of which were driven by the champions of League of Legends, not Summoners.
Riot compared this style of narrative to comic book characters and classic literature, where interesting characters can have many adventures over time and not necessarily have all of them make sense in the same continuity. The world of Runeterra consists of a number of countries and city-states, locked in a web of rivalry, alliance, and conflict.
Demacia is inspired by an idealized Medieval European kingdom, while Noxus is reminiscent of the Roman Empire. Demacian champions tend to value themes like chivalry and honor, while Noxus prides itself on vision, might, and guile.
Ionia is an island nation with a strong connection to magic and features champions inspired by monk and ninja archetypes, as well the Vastaya, a race of animal-human hybrid creatures also unique to League of Legends.
The Shadow Isles is an island chain that was magically corrupted, and has become haunted by a malign force known as the 'Black Mist' which leeches life and empowers the undead.
Shurima is a recently resurrected empire that was until recently lost to the desert, with a somewhat Egyptian theme. He ported and expanded the 'Aeon of Strife' mod to the new engine and named it 'Defense of the Ancients'. Guinsoo later made DotA Allstars by inserting his own mix of content to 'DotA', greatly expanding the number of heroes, added recipes and items, and introduced various gameplay changes.
Guinsoo then passed the mod to IceFrog after accepting a job at the newly formed Riot Games. The idea of a spiritual successor to Defense of the Ancients was that it would be its own stand-alone game with its own engine, rather than another mod of Warcraft III , began to materialize at the end of League of Legends was born 'when a couple of very active DotA community members believed that the gameplay was so much fun and so innovative that it represented the spawning of a new genre and deserved to be its own professional game with significantly enhanced features and around-game services.

A simplified representation of Summoner's Rift. The yellow paths are the 'lanes' where endless waves of troops known as minions march; blue and red dots are the defensive turrets that defend the lanes. Not pictured are the two turrets that flank each Nexus — the ultimate goal of the game, which are within each team's base in their corner.
