《That Guy Is This Guy》 CH 0 0. Prologue I''m good at playing video games. This was for sure. I''ve always been in the top 1% from the days of elementary school that I didn''t know anything to until now. That''s what the game is all about. But on top of that, there was a bastard, who was chasing after me. It was four months ago that I felt that reality deeply. ¡°What the fuck!¡± I sweared and slammed the keyboard. An expensive gaming keyboard flashed with colorful lights. ¡°I¡¯m carrying this again, like a dog¡­¡± Enemy team ¡®Jungle¡¯ was attacking the base and beating the Nexus relentlessly. I was already dead and stared at the gray-filled screen with an angry expression, then the chat of the enemy team came up in red text. [All] LVS gamgack (Serrata): ???? [All] LVS gamgack (Serrata): ??? [All] LVS gamgack (Serrata): ?? ?? (haha) [All] Hunsu is blocked (Luna): ??? (lol) [All] That Geminion Ie (Umpa): Kya Bus, it¡¯s sweet What? Jungle (enemy team) chat? My both eyes burned hot. No, this is the start... Pros against regular users Win the fight and make a difference? Of course, I will! If I had the ability to fight ¡®Jungle¡¯ team and make a lot of money as a pro, would you be doing this here? Does that bastard really have no brain? ¡°Hey, it¡¯s really hot¡­¡± The game ended without a break. The screen changed and the deal amount window appeared. The amount of damage I dealt twice as much as those who were in the other team. You fucking bastards...¡­¡­¡­. When I turned off the chat window and only sighed, the enemy team Jungle started chatting with me. However, I was not curious about what was going on, so I quickly pressed the exit button. ¡°Whoa¡­¡­¡­¡­.¡± Even if I start the next game in this state, I don''t think I''ll be able to concentrate properly, so just as I was about to turn off the game, a yellow light came on in the friend list window. "What?" After doing something, it turned out that it was a request message from the enemy team ¡®Jungle¡¯ to add a friend. It was a request for a friend from a famous person who is a popular pro, is amazingly good at games, and has a good face and attracts fans wherever he goes, but my forehead was wrinkled horribly. ¡°How many times is this already?¡± It doesn''t matter how smart your opponent is. The important thing is that this guy was the enemy team he just sold, and he''s the one, who''s given us a humiliating defeat every time we''ve met up until now. I raised the corners of my mouth and laughed and pressed the mouse. [refuse] Did you think that if you get to add a friend, you would be excited to receive it? Because of my friend, I''ve been struggling and did things that I wouldn''t do before. Putting that bastard on the block list right away. ¡®Now I feel a little relieved.¡¯ ¡®Jungle¡¯ team belonging to the LVS team. An opponent I''ve met dozens of times so far, but never defeated it. Unlike me who stays a thousand days and nights in the Grand Master and can hardly go up, he took the top challenger in two weeks and as soon as the new season started, he goes back and forth between the top rankings. Even if there wasn''t a shortage of people in the Celestial Grand Master and Challenger tiers, I wouldn''t have met that monster as an enemy. Apparently, my position is the same as in the ¡®jungle¡¯ team, so every time we run into each other, we met as an enemy. In the end, whenever I met him, I wanted to cry so I had to play the game while feeling how high and thick the walls of the pros were. Dodge? My pride didn''t allow it. I took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and took a sip of cold water and took a deep breath. To be honest, the reason I''m disassembling like this is clearly for the defeat in that bastard. After playing games with me for some time, ChinChu sends me a request message. With how stressed I was, one day I even dreamed of chatting with a request for a friend sent by the senses. He said, ''Can I teach you how to defeat jungle?'' Even though it was a dream, the message was looked so real. "...done. done." As I recalled the tremendous insults I had received from the games in the past, I felt like something was cut off in my head, and a huge hit came rushing in. As the years go by, my age has turned 24, and it is funny to be genuinely passionate about the game. I returned to my seat and looked at the monitor screen for a moment. HOL. Its full name is Hero of Legends. It is undoubtedly the No. 1 online game in name, and it was a famous AOS game that even held huge competitions around the world. The sense of being a popular professional in a game like this will make a lot of money. ''Well, after finishing the last world championship ended, I haven''t been active but¡¯ It sounds like you''re going to take a break, but anyway. It is such a great game and there are many users. I too was ranked in the top 0.01% in such a game, but it felt meaningless. It''s a game I''ve been holding on to for a while because of one regret that I wish I could beat the game just once. I closed and opened my eyes slowly and without hesitation, I turned off the game and deleted it. It was supposed to start next week anyway. Return to School¡­ There were a lot of things to learn and things to learn again. It was obvious that I don¡¯t have the time to play the game. *** My expectations were somewhat beaten. After returning to school and starting to work as a part-timer, he continued to live a life of not having enough time to sleep, let alone games. But it''s only during the semester. When the vacation came back, a lot of time was empty. I''m working part-time, but since I got a part-time job according to the timetable during my school time, I only had to go three or five hours a week and it was over. During the first week of vacation, I was busy drinking with my classmates, but as soon as two weeks passed, I got bored and struggled to crawl around the corner of the room. ¡°Shall we play a game?¡± The words that came out of my mouth reflexively reminded me of HOL. After I deleted it, even if I went to a PC room with my friends, it had been a while since I had access to the account as an unconditional sub account, and the account I saw was dusty for a long time. ¡°What if¡­ ¡­ ¡­ While muttering, I steadily opened the Internet window. Just when I put my hand on the keyboard to check the bulletin board to see what the situation is these days, I saw a familiar word in the real-time search term. [Zenoris] It was an MMORPG game that people say a lot about fun these days. As if possessed by the mouse, it headed towards the link. ¡´The popular game ''Zenoris'' is buzzing about the release of a new job....> There was a rush because of a new job. Dark mage? What''s with the name like that? I naturally clicked on YouTube video. On the screen, a character who appeared to be about 5-figure was holding a staff with a pointed tip and using various skills. "Hmm¡­..¡± I carefully looked at the video and skill description. I licked my lips. It didn''t even miss a single timing. The skill combo was tight. ¡®Even if the skill is slightly out of order, only about 70% of the original damage can be done, and more mana is drained, right? The range is also drastically reduced.¡¯ Everyone likes it because it''s a new job, but in the end, it was obvious that there would be fewer than one user who could properly digest that job. Tickling my tongue, I began to download Zenoris. Ironically, the fact that it''s terribly difficult has set fire to my heart. ¡°Well, let¡¯s play it a little bit¡­¡± Even though no one was listening, I made excuses and waited patiently for the gradually rising installation gauge. Note [+1] Dodge: means dodging the game by forcing the player to quit on the screen in which the character is already selected to start a team-based game ------ CH 1 Of course, it was lower than the worldwide hit game HOL, but Zenoris was also a pretty good game. It''s been two years since it opened, and it''s still maintaining the top spots, moving back and forth between the 2nd and 4th places. Once a new job appeared on the list of real-time search terms, I told myself. It''s been a while since I''ve played other games because I''ve only been playing HOL. Thinking these thoughts, my hands felt itchy, and I felt a little excited. If I want to deeply immerse myself, RPGs are better than AOS. It''s worth the time and money I put into it. I smiled happily and pressed the button to start the game. A loading screen appeared with a bright and cheerful intro song. First, I must choose a server. For a game like this, a server with a lot of people was the best. I took out my phone before selecting a server. I have already decided who to call for help in the selection process. -Hello? (Another person) As soon as the other person answered my call, I asked which server he was on. Kim Dae-seok. He and I went to college together from high school to college. He lightly skipped the hello and asked. ¡°Which server are you on?¡± -server? ¡°Zenoris. Which is the server?" -Why are you asking? Are you playing Zenoris? Kim Dae-seok had been telling me again and again to play it together since the day Zenoris opened. The guy, who understood what I said at once, picked up his loud voice and exclaimed excitedly. -Is Gura good? Guramyeon is dead! (Server name is Guramyeon *???) +they are talking about having less people. "I¡¯m on the server access window now, but if I don''t tell which server within 10 seconds, I¡¯ll just turn it off and delete it. 10, 9......." - Rotel, Rotel! oh shit. I am on that server, and it has many people. ¡°Is Rotel the most popular?¡± -uh. It eats everything there. It''s definitely Rotel. (He says that the server gets the most out of the game, also meaning it has a lot of people and that¡¯s probably the most popular.) Let''s choose Rotel then. When I double-clicked the server in the center, a wonderful queue appeared. Looks like a server that is popular after all. -Hey, I''m going in now too, so send it* to me via Kakao Talk. (*it-they are talking about requesting to be friends in the game.) "Uh." -I''ll give you mine first. Kim Dae-seok hung up the phone without any care and focused on the screen. Finally, the queue ended, and the game screen moved to the character creation window. Before I put the cache (as in weapons), I decorated the character. Anyway, I just chose the normal brown hair and the best-looking features and entered the game. Of course, I chose a mage for my job. I had to pick a mage to become a dark mage at the next job change. (He wanted to get the dark mage job, nice) Now all that''s left is to set a nickname (game name). "It''s a nickname." (Proclaiming of what to choose as his nickname) There was nothing I could do. Since it is a popular game, the good names must have already been preempted (already taken) ...¡­¡­¡­. After thinking about it for a while, deciding ended up bothering me. So, I copied the nickname of the original game (HOL) account as it is. After that, the character creation was completed without any problems. [I''m sleepy] I don¡¯t know that anyone has already taken away such a cute nickname, but at least I can use it though... Being Satisfied with the selection of my nickname, I sent Kim Dae-seok the nickname through Kakao Talk, and then connected to the server with the newly created character (like he just entered the game for real, not entering the server again// if you played game, you would know clearly. It shows connecting to the servers.). [2000 years ago, the world was born...] I skipped over the opening video that appeared as soon as it started, with the ESC key and started the tutorial right away. As soon as I finished the small quest for beginners, a request to add a friend came. [Soeso: Ya, to 12 ??] (he talks about his location.) As expected, it was Kim Dae-seok. Why did you name the account like this? Once I moved to 12, the guy standing in the center of the city recognized me and ran towards me. [All] Soeso: Hahahahaha [All] Soeso: I¡¯m sleepy¡­ lol [All] Soeso: You named it* weird lol (*game account) He talked about my nickname as soon as he saw me. I walked over and frowned a bit and looked over Kim Dae-seok''s character. It was a girl with wavy blonde hair and a bright pink dress. [All] I''m sleepy: Better than you at least, your character is shorter than me (**Right, that¡¯s for sure! says his own words back to him like provoking him for saying about his nickname) [All] I''m sleepy: What a *Soeso like** (*it means female''s appearance or behavior) [All] I''m sleepy: Are you Nekkamajit(????, male to female said by google)? **Sell out! (????, kinda like he is saying that he¡¯s offended) As I wrote down my thoughts in the chat, Kim Dae-seok was the flagship and quickly invited me to the party. [Party] Soeso: Are you rapping while cursing me? [Party] Soeso: And what about the girl (referring to his own character)? [Party] Soeso: It''s worse for a man to be male. ** _ _ (wwww, seriously! The fact that he is saying this. Just to provoke. www...) [Party] I''m sleepy: Okay [Party] I''m sleepy: Just give it to me now or give it* to me as a gift. (*They are talking about starter packs; they are not saying this directly.) I sent the link I had been looking at (which starter pack he wanted to use) for a while in chat. It was a beginner starter pack. There were several, but the most expensive one was worth using. [Party] Soeso: What? Are you really going to continue playing this game? Kim Dae-seok, who saw the link, showed a bewildered reaction (as in the fact his friend was going to continue playing this game, not the price of the pack or something). Well, I haven''t touched an RPG since high school, so it''s worthy of a reaction like that. [Party] I''m sleepy: Oh, so buy it for me There may be few thrilling and breathtaking fun games like AOS or FPS, but RPG games have their own fun. Above all else, the number of people who throw and troll from time to time will be a little bit low. [Party] Soeso: Hahahahaha Kim Dae-seok gladly sent a 35,000 won starter pack as a gift. He lived in richness, so he had quite a lot of money. [Party] I''m sleepy: ? [Party] Soeso: If you don''t know something while oo (eyes of expecting something), ask me Then, the party ended. Most of the early quests had to be done alone without anyone''s help, so it was natural. After I opened the starter pack, neatly organized the items obtained from it, and put the Zenoris strategy page on the sub-monitor, I started the game in earnest. *** [whisper] Soeso: To/Lai New/Ki (?/?? ?/?, to/ry sae/ki, not sure what that means) It was the first chat that Kim Dae-seok gave me, exactly after ten days since I started playing the game, after I reached level 200 and finished the next job change. For reference, the max level of Zenoris is 250. There were 50 levels left until max level, but to be honest, it was a real fight from now on. (it will be harder to reach levels later). Previously, I had been doing well as a solo player, but it was difficult to do so in the raid dungeon, which can be reached from level 210. ¡®I have to join the guild.¡¯ Even if I looked at the strategy, it was obvious that I would be lost or made a mistake if I continued like this. It was too inconvenient to be with people who I had never met before. So, I knew I was a newbie and needed a guild with someone to help me. Fortunately, I had a scoundrel named Kim Dae-Seok with me. [Whisper] I''m sleepy: Hey Dae-seok [Whisper] Soeso: Huh? [whisper] I''m sleepy: Are you in a guild right now? [Whisper] I''m sleepy: I think I''ll have to enter a guild if I want to continue playing safely. [Whisper] Soeso: Is it time to go on a raid already? You are crazy about the game**(include the fact he completed the character level 200 in 10 days) [Whisper] Soeso: But our guild is not in the recruitment period, so it''s a bit unclear (unclear about the fact that he can join the same guild as him) [Whisper] I am sleepy: ? This is an unexpected twist. I quickly moved my fingers (on the keyboard) and asked. [Whisper] I''m sleepy: what should I do now? (????, *I personally don¡¯t understand what that says) [Whisper] Soeso: Hahahahahaha [Whisper] Soso: Hey, other guilds, other than our guild, are being recruited. [whisper] I''m sleepy: No, I¡¯m fine, that¡¯s just looking for a guild. [Whisper] Soeso: Oh, don¡¯t be upset lol What are you on about? (To the ¡®don¡¯t upset¡¯) I smiled and opened the guild list window. I can''t go to the guild where Kim Dae-seok is anyway, so I guess I''ll have to find it myself. After choosing a few good guilds, I closed the guild window and saw a whisper sent by Kim Dae-seok. [whisper] Soeso: Early evening ¡´¡´This is the number one server guild here. [whisper] Soeso: To be honest, it''s not a place for a scoundrel like you to enter... (what good friends they are I say sarcastically) [Whisper] Soeso: The recruitment is Just once a year (the recruiting for that guild is up on the list right at that moment) [Whisper] Soeso: You and I knew a little bit (so, let¡¯s teach each other¡­ is what I think it means; he trying to tell him to choose which guild while persuading) [whisper] Soeso: I''ll teach ?? you well ?? (? ??????? ??? ??) [Whisper] Soeso: We are friendly in our guild, so come here or there, that''s it The number one guild on the server? I turned off the guild-list page to view that guild. I turned on the list window again. Obviously, the guild name of Early Evening was engraved on the first line of the front page. [1. early evening | Guild Level: Grand |Inn circle: 172 | Guild Leader: Chae Yoo] Is it ok? It¡¯s 1st place after all. I felt suffocated (by the high ranking). [Whisper] I''m sleepy: Can I really join? [Whisper] Soeso: ooo Gilma nim (????) (the name is confusing, nim means dear) [Whisper] Soeso: I''m with Bou-gilma right now. [Whisper] Soeso: Bou gil-ma(????) can help you with that joining guild, so if you get permission from Bou gil-ma, you can join. That¡¯s Right. If it was possible to enter a guild that could be used with a parachute or anything else, there were no complaints. (Means if he uses the correct steps to enter the guild, there would be no complaints) [whisper] I''m sleepy: haha (??) After sending the chat, I looked around the auction house until the conversation between Kim Dae-seok and Bou Gil-ma was over. Now that I''m constantly leveling up, I don¡¯t have to buy any expensive items right now, but once I hit the max level, I''ll have to match my equipment to a certain level. While looking at the items on the auction house and tapping the calculator (of the prices of things in the auction) in my head, Kim Dae-Seok sent a whisper again. [whisper] Soeso: Yaya Yaji (??? ??) {Happy feeling} [whisper] I''m sleepy: o [Whisper] Soso: Aren''t you running around the dungeon right now? [Whisper] Soeso: Bou gil-ma noona says that you are going to see her, okay? See her? What is this interview feeling? I just wanted to do everything in the game, but when I think about it, HOL had to have a simple conversation with the manager to join the clan. (Yes, that¡¯s what¡¯s happening. Interview!) Seriously, there are a lot of crazy people these days, so it would be more comfortable for them to have an interview. After thinking about it, I answered lightly. [Whisper] I''m sleepy: ?? (okay) Note [1] Note: In game, high-level users form a party with low-level users to help the low- level users hunt or catch monsters instead. CH 2 The place Kim Dae-seok said was in front of the lighthouse on a small island called Pherocco in the corner of the second continent. I went straight to the main quest, where it pointed out the points (to the location), so I moved quickly. [All] Drink some water: Hello [All] Soeso: That''s her?? (?? ??) The character next to Kim Dae-seok sent me a greeting. She was a girl wearing pure white armor and carrying a large shield on her back, and the guild name of Early Evening was written on her nickname along with the image of the crown. The interview, which started naturally with a casual chat, went as expected. In the early evening, Bou Gil-ma asked my age, whether I was discharged from the military, and whether I would participate in voice chatting and messenger group chat rooms, and finally pointed out my occupation. [Party] Drink some water: Now then, you already did the mage as your first job and took the second job? As a Dark Mage? [Party] I''m sleepy: That''s right. [Party] Drink some water: Are you trying to become a Dark Mage?? By this time, I had a feeling of what Boo Gil-ma wanted to say in the early evening (the dark mage job is hard to continue, especially with leveling up). But I can''t lie. [Party] I''m sleepy: yeah, I''m going to shut up then¡­ [Party] Drink some water: Um¡­ As soon as I answered honestly, the atmosphere became cold in an instant. Still, it was understandable to some extent that the other party had such an attitude. I got the least job out, so I had tried it out of curiosity. You''re probably worried that I might be a newbie who will grow up for a little bit of fun or grow up for a moment. Kim Dae-seok also noticed that, and for the first time, he intervened between the two of us. [Party] Soeso: Drink some water Noona [Party] Soeso: He''s not the kind of guy who''s going to stop for a while ?? [Party] Soeso: Do you not believe me? * The messages sound like a real *beggar. But he''s the only guy on my side, so he stayed still without getting involved. [Party] Soeso: This guy is a real game fanatic [Party] Soeso: Didn¡¯t it take you 10 days to reach level 200?(this question refers to the main protagonist) It took him that long. (exclamation that it took him that long.) [Party] Drink some water: Oh yeah? [Party] Drink some water: It''s not easy for a Newbie to do that. [Party] Soeso: Right, that¡¯s hard to do Ha ha ha Boo Gil-ma of Early Evening showed a harsh reaction. Great. Add, more. [Party] Drink some water: Since I think you''re a Newbie [Party] Drink some water: So, you should be afraid (about joining the guild) ... [Party] Soeso: I really believe in him. [Party] Soeso: He''s a Hero Grand Master hahahaha [Party] Soeso: It''s not that I got lucky in this, I''m a friend who takes pictures every season of the ranking; [Party] Drink some water: huh? hero ha please send (the picture)? The cold atmosphere from earlier has disappeared. Bou Gil-ma of Early Evening, who had softened her vigilance to some extent, sent me a strange affection. It''s not a good feeling between a man and a woman, but what can I say... Guild manager''s favoritism towards users with good gaming experience, perhaps? [Party] Drink some water: haha [Party] Drink some water: So, sign up and get used to it for about two weeks (talks about the joining in the guild stuff) [Party] Drink some water: I''ll send you a guild request message. Please write a line stating that the interview with me is over and click OK. As soon as the Request message was uploaded, the application message immediately appeared in the center. As Bou Gil-ma said, I wrote a letter saying that I had successfully completed the interview and submitted the application, and after less than a minute, the guild name came above my nickname (that happens in game. It usually shows like that above your game name). Not bad. I immediately opened the guild window. The nicknames of the guild master, sub-master, and guild member were lined up in a row. Chae Yoo [Offline] Drink some water(Boo Gil-ma) [Online] (manager will be used for chat while administration is like formal word for it. So, it will most likely be used in Game screen) Let''s do it [Online] Hwa-son(???) [Online] TheHunter [Online] Park Seung-jin99 [Online] [Summary-??] (the meaning meant is the about the total summary of the guild like introduction, this chat is only shown to the main protagonist) [Party] Drink some water: If you look at the guild window, you can see that there are about 70 people in the guild. [Party] Drink some water: The youngest is 18, but most of them are adults. [Party] Drink some water: I''ll invite you to the group chat room today as well. Bou Gil-ma, who poured just out explanations of the guild, announced that I had joined the guild in the guild chat, where the chats were coming up one after one (a live chat). [Guild] Drink some water: new recruits~ [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Gosh! heh heh heh (????) [Guild] Hwa-son: Hahahaha~ Welcome [Guild] Lerreek(??????): Hello!! [Guild] Let''s do it: You were a newcomer, not a scumbag ~ [Guild] Haeren(??): There¡¯s a new guy too haha [Guild] I''m sleepy: Yes, nice to meet you. I stared at the chats that came up one after another, a bit tiredly. I was thinking abit out of my mind. It''s been a long time since I joined a guild or clan, so it took me a while to get used to it. [Party] Drink some water: I''m a 27-year-old girl yes [Party] Drink some water: Take it easy (like the words of a senpai, who is in the guild) I was mesmerized by the guild chat window, which was quickly filled with gossip, and Bou Gil-ma spoke to me friendly as if to relax me a bit. I also responded appropriately. [Party] I''m sleepy: You''re 3 years older than me, so I''ll use respectful words and call her noona. [Party] I''m sleepy: So, be comfortable with me too [Party] Drink some water: ha ha ha I''m comfortable I hadn''t talked for a long time, but I knew right away that they were pretty decent people. It''s not a bad start now. The guild atmosphere is also good. A satisfied smile touched the corner of his mouth, and a familiar nickname appeared in the guild chat window. [Guild] Chae Yoo: Is Drink some water online right now? [Guild] Drink some water: Why? Chae Yoo had just gone online. Still, I''m a newcomer, so should I say hello (to the guild master)? Isn''t it overkill to have a big greeting time and say hello again (as in the main live chat of welcoming already happened and the guild master didn¡¯t even say hello so it¡¯s an overkill to say hello again)? [Guild] Haerun: You seem to be looking for Drink some water LOL [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: There''s Drink some water lol (meaning she was online) [Guild] Seasoned crab (?????): Don''t do it ** (he knows that Chae Yoo is asking Drink some water to do something) [Guild] Chae Yoo: Do you still have Athero seeds left in your inventory? Gil-ma, completely ignoring the guild members'' chat, brought up the main topic (the newbie). The Drink some water summoned something from the inventory, wandered around for a while, and then gave it to Chae Yoo. [Guild] Drink some water: oo have some left [Guild] Drink some water: If you need it now, Come to Pherroco Lighthouse ? [Guild] Yu Chae: okay [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Can I get some if I go to see Drink Some Water? Just finished the raid Dungeon [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: I want to go too [Guild] Me in the hunt: 2 people wanted to go then, to 8 by 20 minutes ??(it¡¯s the location number, 8) [Guild] Haerun: Are you with the newbie? Then, I am going too [Guild] Drink some water: Ahhh, newbies had joined the guild. [All] Chae Yoo: Newbie? (He only realized that now, that a newbie was in the guild) The reply from him finally came back to the chat about the newbie. Perhaps it was due to a quick movement before I realized, there was a male character named ¡´Chae Yoo¡µ standing behind me. With black hair, red eyes, and a black cloak covering only his left arm, he wore a chain of golden lustrous colors on his waist. If that''s the color, is it about level 9? ¡®They say that if it¡¯s the 9th, it¡¯s a big price to call.¡¯ This is definitely the number one guild on the server. I need an item like that too. [All] Drink some water: Haven¡¯t you seen Guild chat? [All] Drink some water: I''m sleepy , the PvP between users was very active compared to other games. It was probably because damage was a matter of skills. After I reached level 100, I got out of the beginner zone and I could turn on the PvP setting at that time. It was a system that allowed users to battle with each other at any time. When I move the mouse over Chae Yoo¡¯s character, the mouse pointer changes to an attack icon, and it seems that he also has PVP turned on. Just looking at it, I felt like a muscle brain. [All] Haerun: Ah haha no matter what, its pro vs newbie who haven''t even reached their full level...heh ; [All] Let''s do it: Please don¡¯t do it [All] Chae Yoo: (©V ©V) [All] Let''s do it: damn it [All] Park Seung-jin 99: hahahahahahahaha The golden-luster level 9 item chain, which Chae Yoo wore around his waist, was glimmering brilliantly. This one hasn''t even reached the max level, let alone have items that were strengthened. A real ignorant bastard indeed. [All] Park Seung-jin 99: I will do my best at being the announcer then... [All] Park Seung-jin 99: It''s a newbie who hasn''t even reached the max level yet¡­ i''m sleepy on one side [All] Park Seung-jin 99: vs Chae Yoo, the Guild Master of the No. 1 guild in the server [All] Haeren: Kyaaa let¡¯s goooo ???? [All] Let''s do it: When are you going to start? Looking at the weapon, it was clear that Chae Yoo''s job was Chain Blade. Before Dark Mage was released, Chain Blade was the most difficult job to handle. ''Certainly¡­ except for a couple of basic skills, they were all non-targeted skills.'' Non-targeted. In other words, when focusing, most of the attacks can be avoided unlike targeted skills. Of course, I also have an overwhelming number of non-targeted skills, so it''s not advantageous for me at all. In the end, it was a battle of who had better control over their skills. Avoid the enemy''s skills and match your own skills to a certain level, so that you can survive. The difference between me and Chae Yoo is huge, so if I get hit once, I''ll be done in five moves. After stretching the fingers of both hands and readying the weapon, the opponent attacked first. Instinctively, by pressing the evasion skill, my character rolled over the ground to avoid the attacks. [All] Park Seung-jin 99: Oh? Boom! Every time Chae Yoo whipped his chain, lightning struck from the sky. Evasion skills also have a cooldown, so I had to wait 7 seconds to use them again. I narrowly avoided a direct attack and fired a quick-cast Ice Bolt. As expected, Chae Yoo did not get even a single hit. Still, Ice Bolt was a pretty fast skill. Unlike me, who avoided using the evade skill, I got a sense of how skilled that person was when I saw him dodging without even using a skill. I turned on the moving-casting spell, a skill that uses advanced magic while moving my character and started charging the ice spear spell. The required time to cast the spell is 15 seconds. Crush! "Oh." As soon as I thought I''d somehow hold out for 15 seconds while casting, a chain swung right towards my character. Tsk, I barely managed to dodge the attacks that came in succession by clicking my tongue and hastily using evasive skills. In that one shot, half of my stamina flew away after he tried to attack me. I sense that I wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on after the 5th one... If that''s the case, just one more hit and it''s over. [All] Haeren: The battle is really crazy¡­ [All] Park Seung-jin 99: That final moment was impressive, but it seems that the battle is not looking good for I¡¯m sleepy? It¡¯s because sleepy-nim is a person who only knows how to use skills lawfully The witnesses had already predicted my defeat. I twisted the corners of my mouth and smiled. If I was thinking that I would lose, then I wouldn''t even be fighting here in the first place. I concentrated intensively and avoided every attack that was pouring out without a break while also checking the ice spear spell charging gauge in my spare time. 95%, 96%, 97%. Just a little bit more. 98%, 99%. 100%. All gauges were filled with blue. Finally, I used the evasion skill to roll on ground and without a moment of delay I drew the Ice Spear into the air. [All] Soeso: ???3 Since the Ice Spear Spell was a targeted skill, it can never be avoided. The character of Chae Yoo, who was excitedly swinging the chain, was wrapped in ice and stiffened. The damage itself was weak, but it was a skill that can bind the opponent for 5 seconds. ¡°Five seconds is enough.¡± As soon as I confirmed that the opponent was caught, I started charging the fireball spell by mashing the buttons repeatedly. It was the highest ranked skill among the ones I have and has the strongest damage. It has a big drawback that the character cannot move while charging, but there was no need to worry as Chae Yoo was frozen by the ice spear. Charging the fireball takes 5.3 seconds. The ice sphere lasts for 5 seconds. Even if there was a period of 0.3 seconds to escape, it cannot be avoided because the fireball range was quite wide. It¡¯s my win! Five seconds had passed and I threw the fireball at Chae Yoo, who was just released from the ice spear. ¡®Even if you don''t die with this one shot, there will hardly be any health left, so if I just use a skill with a fast-casting spell...¡­¡­¡­¡¯ As I was about to cast a sub-skill in case of an unforeseen situation, I spotted a chain that was shot towards my character. Ahh! I instinctively pressed the evade skill in a hurry, but it didn''t activate because there were still 2 seconds of cooldown time left. Clutch! As the fireball was exhausted, a chain pierced my character''s heart. [All] Haeren: Wow, how is it???? [All] Let''s do it: What happened? On the opposite side of my character who fell to the floor, Chae Yoo had barely survived with 10% of his health left. As I looked at the gray screen, I sighed and wiped the corners of my eyes. I was careless. Even afterwards, I was hoping that I could still attack without giving up in that situation. Of course, I had to consider it though¡­ ''Have I become a fool after taking a break from games for nearly 4 months¡­¡­¡¯ It was a disappointing battle in many ways. Oh, if only I had reached level 210, the result would have been different. [All] Park Seung-jin 99: Sleepy-nim, that newbie was actually really good, right? [All] Park Seung-jin 99: I''m surprised ; [All] Drink some water: If I¡¯m being honest, I thought I was having a heart-attack with how intense this battle was [All] Haeren: Me too Drink some water used a resurrection item on me. Until then, Chae Yoo, who was quietly drinking potions to heal himself, gave a comment. [All] Chae Yoo: Not bad [All] Park Seung-jin 99: It''s crazy to be able to avoid that without using a skill break LOL [All] Haerun: Even I, who has been doing this since beta, wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid that [All] Let''s do it: That''s your finger problem [All] Soeso: It¡¯s a skill he gained from HOL [All] Haerun: He plays HOL too? [All] I''m sleepy: I guess partially Being annoyed, I answered roughly and drank the recovery potions. I lost the battle, so I have to leave the guild. It''s not funny to continue to be in this kind of situation. Just when I thought I found a good guild too, but I know when to step out. This was all because of Kim Dae-seok. [All] Drink some water: oo that¡¯s right [All] Drink some water: He used to be a top ranker in every season too [All] Chae Yoo: What? It was then that Chae Yoo, who had been indifferent to the conversation, gained an interest in me. [All] Chae Yoo: He plays HOL? [All] Chae Yoo: Hero of Legends? [All] Drink some water: ? [All] Chae Yoo: You are a HOL top ranker? ¡°¡­¡­?¡± What, what''s wrong with him all of a sudden? [All] I''m sleepy: Yeah [All] Chae Yoo: How about your username? [All] Chae Yoo: Could your username in HOL be ¡®I¡¯m sleepy¡¯ as well?? Now I have to say something as a reply. Oh mom, I''m scared of this bastard. I guess he really knows me there...¡­¡­¡­ [All] I''m sleepy: ?? ; [All] I''m sleepy: If I say yes, then what are you going to do about it¡­ ¡ª TL Note: 1 (Like when you are bragging, the insult works in this case) 2 (Player vs Player) 3 (kinda like praying) CH 4 [All] Chae Yoo: I''m really curious [All] Chae Yoo: I see that you¡¯re not going to answer [All] Chae Yoo: I¡¯m right? Right? [All] I''m sleepy: ??; No matter how much I think about it, this guild was not for me. It would be bad if there¡¯s such a bastard in it. At this point, I was rather grateful that that guy dropped by to talk crap about my username. If it wasn''t for that, I would have been working in the guild without even knowing that such a guy existed. [Whisper] Soeso: I''m a little creeped out right now... Is this normal? [Whisper] I''m sleepy: Hmn Even the watching guild members were flustered by Chae Yoo''s sudden change of attitude. It was as if his character was suddenly possessed by a ghost. [All] Let''s do it: Am I dreaming?? [All] Let''s do it: Guild Master is actually using polite wording¡­ [All] Haeren: Woah our Guild Master is actually a guy who knew how to be polite [All] Park Seung-jin 99: What is this magic of suddenly being a polite person? [All] Haerun: Guild Master is trying hard As I looked at the monitor, I sighed and rubbed my forehead. I''m not even curious as to why he suddenly changed. I just want to get this situation sorted out and go hunting. ''What kind of trouble is this while trying to enter a guild?'' I took a moment to organize my thoughts and chatted again. [All] I''m sleepy: I''m leaving this guild [All] I''m sleepy: I will pretend not to know you guys if we run into each other in the future [All] Drink some water: Wait ; [All] Chae Yoo: No [All] Chae Yoo: Don''t leave [All] Drink some water: ? [All] I''m sleepy: ? After regaining my composure and opening the guild window to leave, I once again distorted my face at the newly uploaded chat. [All] Haeren: Wow.. [All] Park Seung-jin 99: I''m sorry Guild Master, but I think you¡¯re crazy [All] Haeren: This is a bit¡­ [All] Chae Yoo: I won''t kick you out [All] Chae Yoo: So, please be active in the guild [All] I''m sleepy: ? [All] Drink some water: I think I''m going crazy if I¡¯m the only one seeing this ¡°Ha, damn it...¡­¡± Unexplainable emotions rushed over me. I lowered my head and rubbed my forehead to soothe the upcoming headache. ¡®What the hell is wrong with this kid?¡¯ I wouldn''t usually be bothered, but now that I fell in love with the game Zenoris itself, I feel bothered. ¡®No.¡¯ This won¡¯t do. Thinking back on how hard I''ve been working on this game in the last 10 days. But just because of this¡­ Calm Down. If I put a reason to why I was leaving, I will get caught up in this chat again. I held back my anger, calmly erased what I originally typed -¡¯Where do you live ah?¡¯, and wrote a new one. [All] I''m sleepy: I''m leaving [All] I''m sleepy: I''m going [All] Chae Yoo: I don¡¯t want that, so don¡¯t leave please [All] Chae Yoo: You don¡¯t even need Drink some water to accept you [All] Drink some water: Don''t put my name in this... take care of it yourself ¡®Aa, I''m going crazy! I want to leave!¡¯ [All] I''m sleepy: No, what can I do now? I mean ; [All] I''m sleepy: Even if you''re not going to talk about the username, you''re still telling me to leave, right? so I will leave [All] Chae Yoo: You don¡¯t have to change your username [All] Chae Yoo: Before when I told you to leave. I didn''t really mean it... Bang! Unable to handle the bursting anger, in the end, I could only hit the keyboard furiously. An expensive gaming keyboard flashed with colorful lights... This situation right now, I feel a sense of deja vu. [All] I''m sleepy: Okay then [All] I''m sleepy: I will go out on my own I clicked on the guild window again. There must be a leave button somewhere here. [Whisper] Soeso: Ummm... Yoo Ji-han After looking around for a while, I finally found the small leave button in the lower right corner. But why is it gray? [Whisper] Soeso: For a short while...you can''t leave...? [All] Haerun: Oh, I¡¯m sleepy, how is it.. [All] Park Seung-jin 99: Tears are covering my eyes lol [All] Drink some water: You won''t be able to leave [All] Drink some water: Unless you are being kicked out, you can only leave after a week [All] I''m sleepy: ? No way. Denying the reality, I hastily pressed the gray exit button, but nothing changed. My expectations, in which I believed an information window would come up with the words ''You have left the guild'', were mercilessly shattered. [All] Let''s do it: hahahahaha [All] Haerun: No, you came in without knowing [All] Drink some water: Because of the traffic and stuff [All] Drink some water: Once you join a guild, you can¡¯t leave for a week... [All] Park Seung-jin 99: Hey everyone, don''t laugh! [All] Park Seung-jin 99: How would you feel if You were I¡¯m sleepy right now! [Whisper] Soeso: Hey, sorry [Whisper] Soeso: I forgot to explain ;; I looked at the chat window that came up one after another in vain. Hence¡­ I can''t leave? Does this mean that I have to spend a week in this guild? [All] Chae Yoo: lol (??) [All] Chae Yoo: Please take care of me, I¡¯m sleepy ¡°¡­¡­¡± I felt scammed into being like a real dog. *** No matter how ruined your life is, tomorrow''s sun will still rise. It''s funny to say that I have to be in the wrong guild for a while, but it can''t be helped. For gamers, games are life. Before logging in to Zenoris, I paused and thought for a while, then I changed direction and started installing HOL again. It''s been a while since I deleted the account before the classes started. The account has been successfully recovered. After finishing the installation and starting the game, the main window with the play video was displayed to see if a new hero had just appeared, and a friend list window appeared next to it. In the past, as soon as it was turned on, I would have started doing ranked matches right away. After taking a few months off, I didn''t feel like doing anything. Even so, only the thoughts of Zenoris, which I had been working hard on for the past ten days, grew stronger. I didn''t have the confidence to last a week in that guild, so I thought I''d log into HOL...¡­¡­ ¡°Isn¡¯t there anything that¡¯s going on?¡± I also just need to leave. Thinking like that, I moved the mouse, and a message came from someone in my friends list. [Flying away] Oh Yoo Ji-han is online [Flying away] It''s been a while [I''m sleepy] Hyung hi hi haha It was Seo Tae-young, a pro who worked as a mid-player for the LVS team until last year''s spring season. He''s four years older than me, and he retired a year ago and turned into an internet broadcaster. He''s also one of the few streamers I like. [Flying away] You must have been busy. [Flying away] Vacation break? [I''m sleepy] Vacation is already over [I''m sleepy] I wasn¡¯t here because I was playing other games lololol [Flying away] What were you playing? [I''m sleepy] Zenoris [Flying away] Isn''t that where Alphizia-nim is? [Flying away] That¡¯s a little surprising [Flying away] Is it fun? [I''m sleepy] It''s not bad [I''m sleepy] What are you doing these days? There were several more chats about each other''s regards. Seo Tae-young, who was preparing to get married to his girlfriend, who he has been dating for three years, laughed that he would be busy. [I''m sleepy] Congratulations hyung hahaha [I''m sleepy] Has the date been set? [Flying away] oo October 9 haha There is a little over 2 months left [Flying away] Can you come? Is there still school in October? [I''m sleepy] Even if I''m busy, my Hyung¡¯s wedding is a must go of course [Flying away] I''m not the kind of bad adult who rips off congratulatory money from students hahaha [Flying away] I will send you the wedding invitation when it comes out, so just come, eat, and go [Flying away] With Ji-han in mind, I will put all my heart and soul into choosing a place that tastes like rice. lol Seo Tae-young, who has become a groom, looked very happy. Seeing him like this puts a smile on my face. [Flying away] Even if you don''t turn on the game, please chat over Kakao Talk at least once in a while [Flying away] There are still a lot of people who wonders about you [I''m sleepy] Hahahahahaha After saying a last goodbye to Seo Tae-young, I closed HOL and turned on Zenoris. After failing to leave the guild yesterday, I turned it off right away, so the location was still at Pherroco Lighthouse Island. [Guild] Let''s do it: Huh [Guild] Let''s do it: I''m sleepy-nim, hahaha [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: I¡¯m sleepy hahahahahaha [Guild] I¡¯m getting lazy: Newbie haha~ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: hehe [Guild] I''m sleepy: Hi The guild members who knew about the resignation event sent greetings with laughter. I responded with a sarcastic attitude and hurriedly opened the guild window list to check whether the most important opponent was connected. Chae Yoo [Offline] Thank God. During this time, I have to hurry and change my status to Away or Offline...¡­ Chae Yoo has logged in. [Guild] I¡¯m getting lazy: Guild Master-sama heh2 [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Hahahaha [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Whoa? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: As soon as I¡¯m sleepy came online, the Guild Master came too? [Guild] Haerun: (£»£þ§¥£þ) ~? [Guild] Let''s do it: hahahaha Oh my god. How could that bastard¡¯s log in timing coincide with his damn personality? I was seriously thinking about whether I should change my status even now and pretend not to know him, but Chae Yoo, who had taken all the greetings from the guild members, called me. [Guild] Chae Yoo: Here [Guild] Chae Yoo: Sleepy Hyung With a form of address that no one had ever imagined him using. ¡°¡­¡­.?" I closed my eyes, wondering if I was dreaming for a moment. [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: ? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: ? [Guild] Haeren: ? [Guild] Let''s do it: ? [Guild] I¡¯m getting lazy: ? [Guild] Bright Clouds: ? [Guild] The Hunter: ? [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: 3 people who are ready to play 7 battles with a duel1 [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: ? [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: ? [Guild] I''ll take care of you: and with that, I will stop the chat here I looked at the guild chat that had become a crucible of chaos, as my brain had finally started again, I answered cautiously. [Guild] I''m sleepy: No, I don¡¯t think so [Guild] I''m sleepy: Were you calling me? [Guild] Chae Yoo: Yes ¡°¡­¡­¡± It has only been 3 minutes since I made up my mind and logged into Zenoris. I slowly moved the mouse cursor to the [end game] button. ¡ª TL Note: 1 (there are seven people on the screen, who put ¡®?¡¯ first, would have to fight with the three people, which are Drink some water, Chae Yoo and I¡¯m sleepy) --- As Much as I want to live a long life, I didn''t think there was a cuteness like this. wwww~ Sleepy Hyung 0w0~ If I could say it, it would sound really cute- I am wondering how Chae Yoo got the same log in time as the protagonist.... Does he have a spy on him or something? O well... Look at the character profile and all the way down to the end. First, Press the table of contents that''s right down at the end of the chapters. It''s after the summary. tell me about the new layout 0w0 through the contact form or something. I love designing websites but the layout amn''t the best for mobiles. CH 5 ''Haaah, no. Let¡¯s be patient.'' Even if you turn off the game, that bastard will turn it off too. So, why should I turn it off? That bastard was the one who did the wrong thing. So, why should I run away? [Guild] Chae Yoo: Hyung? [Guild] Chae Yoo: Why is there no answer? [Guild] Let''s do it: I think I''m going to throw up With my trembling hands, I barely removed the mouse from the game end button. I forced a smile and started chatting. [Guild] I''m sleepy: Why am I¡­ [Guild] I''m sleepy: your Hyung...? heh ; [Guild] Chae Yoo: You¡¯re 24 years old [Guild] Chae Yoo: I¡¯m 23 years old [Guild] Chae Yoo: So, of course, I should say hyung. What? 23 years old? He¡¯s one year younger than me¡­¡­ I forcefully swallowed the notion that boosted my ego. [Guild] I''m sleepy: I don¡¯t think we¡¯re close enough to have you call me hyung ^^; [Guild] Chae Yoo: So, from now on, I''m going to get closer to you [Guild] Chae Yoo: Where are you? Please join my party [Guild] Bright Clouds: What is this? Am I watching a drama, not a game? [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: ? Guild Master and newbie ? [Guild] I''m sleepy: What... [Guild] I''m sleepy: Please stop calling me Hyung [Guild] Chae Yoo: I have to get close to you so I can call you hyung then [Guild] Chae Yoo: You need to tell me where you are, so that we can get to know each other well [Guild] I''m sleepy: I''m just going hunting anyway, so don''t worry about it ; [Guild] Chae Yoo: Hunting? Where? [Guild] Chae Yoo: There are only a few places worth going to at level 200 [Guild] Chae Yoo: Hell Swamp? Are you hunting already? Where are you at? [Guild] Chae Yoo: I''ll go with you, I''ll catch them all, I''ll give you the experience points [Guild] I''m getting lazy: Kya, crazy [Guild] Bright Clouds: Please do not chat here, but rather use whisper for 2-minute conversations; [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: ? Zenoris Garden ? [Guild] I''m getting lazy: lololololol I¡¯m getting pretty angry. After I watched the guild teasing Chae Yoo and me in the chat, I could only laugh out loud. [Guild] I''m sleepy: No need I don''t know why he kept making a fuss about going with me. Firstly, using quick move, I left Pherocco Island and headed for the central city. I need to finish the collection quest for 50 red poisonous crayfish. I should finish the quest quickly. Today, I planned to level up at least to lvl 205. As I was sorting out the quests, the guild chat lit up again. [Guild] Chae Yoo: I really want to go with you Ah, it''s really annoying. After I gave the NPC my weapon for repairs, I replied indifferently to the chat. [Guild] I''m sleepy: Just call me whatever you want [Guild] I''m sleepy: I''m leaving the guild in a week anyway This time, there was no response as to whether he had seen the words or not. I''m a little comfortable now. [Guild] I''m getting lazy: But Guild Master and newbie, are you originally acquainted with each other or something? [Guild] I''m getting lazy: You look friendly to each other, I agree too ???; [Guild] Let''s do it: Nah (?¡ä?¦Ø?)?áê©ß©¥©ß hahaha [Guild] Let''s do it: It just happens hahahaha [Guild] Haerun: Yesterday, the two of them filmed an epic steamy narrative that can even make the drama writers cry [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: How far did it go?? ¡´System¡µDrink some water is logged in. [Guild] Bright Clouds: The idea is ridiculous, but now I''m getting curious... [Guild] Let''s do it: Drink some water hahaha [Guild] Park Seung-Jin 99: Drink some water heh2 [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: Roughly tell me what you guys saw [Guild] Haeren: It can¡¯t be explained in words¡­ you''ll have to see it for yourself [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Let''s make a video of what happened [Guild] Drink some water: hahahaha [Guild] Drink some water: So, what''s the answer? [Guild] Chae Yoo: We know each other In the exciting atmosphere among themselves, he dared to ignore my chat and reply to Drink some water. I didn''t want to reply anymore, so I tried to ignore it. However, in the end, I couldn''t stand it and replied to somehow stop the unreal rumors from escalating. [Guild] I''m sleepy: What... we don''t know each other ; [Guild] I''m getting lazy: Yes..that''s right haha ; [Guild] Haeren: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡°Damn it¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± I really hate this guild. Just bear with all this for a week, and then I will leave without looking back. [Guild] Bright Clouds: Water noona [Guild] I''ll take care of you: Is there anyone here who would buy a lvl 5 glove from me? [Guild] I''ll take care of you: I¡¯m selling it cheaply because of an emergency ? [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: I want three [Guild] Bright Clouds: Don¡¯t you have water noona with you?? [Guild] Drink some water: Oh sorry, wait, why do you need me? [Guild] Drink some water: Why? [Guild] Bright Clouds: I¡¯m going to give back you the robe you lent me back then [Guild] Bright Clouds: Where are you at? [Guild] Drink some water. Oh, wait for a while... [Guild] Drink some water: I¡¯ll be there in a second After repairing the weapon, I also fully stocked my potions just in case. Looking at the neatly organized inventory, I smiled and turned on the map. The Wilderness area is a hunting ground for level 200 players, red crayfish are usually scattered here and there, but if you know the points where they respawn, it will be faster to collect them. After checking the best respawn point on the strategy page, I press Quick Move, and move a little west from the side corner to the center of the wilderness to reach a respawn point. ¡´System¡µ A surging heat encapsulates you in the Wilderness, your stamina is affected. ¡´System¡µ You have entered the battle area. Pay attention to your safety. After a very brief loading time, a desert covered with red sand appeared. To prevent the flame debuff, I wore the special hood that I bought in advance and summoned a horse. Unlike in other places, in the desert, you cannot ride a horse at full speed. On the other hand, if you ride a camel, you can move a little faster than the horse, but I am not going to pay for one, so I just ride a horse. I set the destination marker on the map to automatically navigate to the respawn point. Then, I turned on nutube as I waited for the trip to be completed. Without having to worry about the path, I clicked on an animal video straight away. A puppy with soft wheat-colored fur runs around and clings to its owner''s feet. The round belly, round eyes, and short tail are so cute. After all, the countryside mixed breed dog is the best. The stress that had accumulated because of Chae Yoo melted away. I would like to raise one if the circumstances allowed it. If possible, I want one that¡¯s a little bigger and the fur must unconditionally be brown. I also wish for it to have a lot of affection for its owner. With a happy smile on my face, I turned off the video and turned my gaze back to the game screen and crumpled my face at once. "Crazy, why are you here?" [All] Chae Yoo: Why did you come so late? [All] Chae Yoo: I waited for a long time [All] I''m sleepy: ? Why is this bastard here? I was staring and blinking repeatedly at this ridiculous situation while Chae Yoo walked towards me, who was standing blankly. [All] Chae Yoo: What is that hood? Did you buy it at a store center or something? [All] Chae Yoo: Can you give it to me? [All] I''m sleepy: Before that, what are you doing here? When I finally came to my senses and questioned it with an uncomfortable feeling, the guy who didn''t respond for a while, sent a message asking for a deal and started chatting. [All] Chae Yoo: As I said earlier [All] Chae Yoo: If it''s a level 200 hunting ground, then it''s Hell Swamp [All] I''m sleepy: lol that''s why now [All] I''m sleepy: You mean you want to form a party with us two? [All] Chae Yoo: Ummm... I thought about rejecting the transaction request message. Had I known this, I wouldn¡¯t have gone to Hell Swamp. It was a half-and-half risk, but what would it take? I regretted it belatedly, but a new guild chat has been uploaded. [Guild] Chae Yoo: We met [Guild] Drink some water: On my way [Guild] Drink some water: there ¡°¡­¡­.¡± After seeing it, I thought about it for a while, and then asked for more context. [All] I''m sleepy: Are you sending Water noona to Hell Swamp? [All] Chae Yoo: I don''t know what you mean [All] Chae Yoo: But why are you calling her Water Noona? [All] Chae Yoo: I wasn¡¯t allowed to call you hyung [All] Chae Yoo: You just met her for the first time yesterday and already called her noona.. [All] I''m sleepy: Shut up¡­ If you look at it, the problem is you, who is 23-years-old and uses impolite words to a 27-year-old person without even using a title... Are you really crazy? "Haa......¡± The will to enjoy the game has plummeted. I took a deep breath with my hand wrapped around my head, but I kept hearing the beep of a transaction request. [All] Chae Yoo: Accept the party request [All] Chae Yoo: It''s a deal with a hood and an ice attribute buff on the hand [All] I''m sleepy: Can''t you just log off? [All] Chae Yoo: You are not nice T-T You¡¯re the one that¡¯s not nice, damn it! I don''t know why you''re so obsessed with me. You hated me so much at first, but what the hell? How am I supposed to get this damn bastard out of here? [All] Chae Yoo: Accept it just once [All] Chae Yoo: I know you will really like the attribute buff item As I was about to refuse the transaction request that kept coming at a terrifying speed, I realized something and blinked my eyes. "Ah." A great plan flashed through my mind. Crazy. Why didn''t I think of this earlier? I wanted to run out of the house right now and run around the neighborhood shouting. I''m a genius. I quickly sat up straight on the chair, accepting the transaction request message that I had been repeatedly rejecting, and quickly chatted. [All] I''m sleepy: Hood and buff items? [All] I''m sleepy: Will you be giving them to me? Not lending them? [All] Chae Yoo: Sure [All] Chae Yoo: Is there anything else you need?? [All] Chae Yoo: What about a Robe? After I received the deal, the excited Chae Yoo put a hood and a buff item on the trade window. I proudly asked with a bright smile. [All] I''m sleepy: Give it all to me, okay? ¡ª TL Note: Respawn - regeneration of characters or monsters in a video game after they are defeated. Korea¡¯s countryside mixed breed dog. Adorable <3 (from editor-san!) (credits: to Sellychi{Editor} for the dog pic 0w0) (it''s cute owo. The editor asked me to put it so I did. She thought that the readers will like it.) --- Yaa... You''re a genius.. As if it stopped him, from giving things to you. Well we will see... These two chapters are being posted so that it matches with the other novel, which has 5 chapters currently. The next week is a break from posting~ My vacation also started, so I need a break too- CH 6 [Guild] Chae Yoo: Hyung [Guild] Chae Yoo: You need Linnaeus feathers, right? [Guild] Chae Yoo: Can I give it to you? [Guild] I''m sleepy: oo How many do you have? [Guild] Chae Yoo: About 50 [Guild] I''m sleepy: Give me all [Guild] Chae Yoo: Haha, where are you now? [Guild] I''m Sleepy: Go to Kelp Forest fast travel point It has already been four days since I joined the guild. After the first day, when I was shocked that I couldn''t leave the guild, and the second day, when I was terrified of being stalked by Chae Yoo, I was easing down from the shock on the third day, and on the fourth day, I was slowly getting used to it. [Guild] Chae Yoo: Hyung, what level are you right now? [Guild] I''m sleepy: 207 [Guild] Chae Yoo: At level 208, there are the three evils that you can wear, would you like to have them? [Guild] I''m sleepy: o As soon as he realized that I wasn''t refusing his offers, he started to pour out items with his eyes shining. And I just took everything he gave me. It is good to just stay for now and leave the guild after a week. But when that happens, I will only be leaving the guild, that bastard''s stalking will still be there. The important thing is not only to leave the guild after a week, but also to cut off the interest of the incomprehensible Chae Yoo towards me. Take everything he gives and never do anything in return. Humans inherently have a ''reward mentality''. If you are giving out this much, you will expect that even a small reward will come back. And if those expectations are not met, you will be disappointed and heartbroken. I smiled deeply as I watched Chae Yoo gather all the items I needed. ¡®It''s going according to plan.'' Accept it in moderation and ignore it in moderation. Then I don''t have to be stressed, and I¡¯m still going to be able to get items, according to my wishes. [Guild] Chae Yoo: Hyung, Hyung [Guild] Chae Yoo: The shoes you''re wearing right now are lvl three, aren''t they? [Guild] Chae Yoo: It''s being sold out at the auction for lvl seven, should I buy it for you? Level 7? I immediately stopped killing monsters and opened the auction window. I didn''t tell you what kind of shoe it was, but the price would be similar to the other level seven shoes. I shook my head when I saw that the level 7 shoes on the auction house were worth 800 million gold. [Guild] I''m sleepy: No [Guild] Chae Yoo: Why? It¡¯s good [Guild] I''m sleepy: I¡¯ll be done with you if you buy it [Guild] Chae Yoo: Meany ??? [Guild] I''m sleepy: I need help in the swamp Of course, there are conditions to this plan too. Like not accepting extremely expensive items. If you do something like that, then you¡¯ll become a scammer who grabs a pushover and rips off an expensive item. It¡¯s a bit of a burden to carry the guilt of that expensive item. The items I have received so far were only the materials required for the event quest or items to be worn that were below level five. For those that were level 5 or higher, the probability of failing increases tremendously when strengthening, so the price often rocketed as well. When I checked the ratio of game money to cash on a cash exchange site, it was about 100 million gold in game money to about 100,000 won in cash. So, 800 million gold is 800,000 won. ''What is with this bastard, you''re trying to give a gift of 800,000 won to someone you have only met for a few days.'' It was funny for me to think like this, but to be honest, it was a bit pathetic too. Of course, the Guild master of the No. 1 guild on the server would have that much gold unlike me. [Guild] The Hunter: What am I looking at? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Just ignore it [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Do they not give a damn? I think I¡¯m going to go crazy soon haha [Guild] I''m getting lazy: Oh me too lololol [Guild] Drink some water: Why not just get married and use partner chat? [Guild] Chae Yoo: Is that so?? Hyung, do you want to get married? [Guild] I''m sleepy: Do you want to ; [Guild] Chae Yoo: Well, I don¡¯t want to be proposing through the Guild chat Oh, is that right? The past four days felt like it was endless. I was able to ignore Chae Yoo''s nonsense to some extent, and checked the whispers that came from Kim Dae-seok. [Whisper] Soeso: Oh, I''m really sorry lolololol [Whisper] Soeso: I¡¯m really responsible for leaving out this important information [Whisper] Soeso: Loyalty! Loyalty! Kim Dae-seok, who made a great contribution to the development of this situation, has promised to let me join his guild after this week, after he begged the guild master of his guild. The guild to which Kim Dae-seok belongs to is , it was one of the guilds which had a good reputation and always maintained the top 15 ranking. What¡¯s more is that it was one of the few guilds that maintained exchanges with the No. 1 guild, Early Evening. Newcomers are not welcome there too, but Kim Dae-seok, who somehow ended up introducing me to a stalker, explained the situation to the Guild master of his guild and agreed to let me join in. ...No, to be precise, it was an agreement. If that fails, I''ll have to go to another guild. ¡®Why is it so hard to join a decent guild?¡¯ It''s been a few years since I''ve played an RPG, and I don''t know much as I didn''t join a guild in HOL. [Whisper] I''m sleepy: I will be watching you [Whisper] Soeso: I swear I¡¯ll be faithful this time ^^7 What¡¯s more important than that is the raids. I''ve already hit level 207, so I''ll have to prepare soon. Most of the rewards from level 210 can be gained from raid quests, where party play was significant. Of course, it¡¯s possible to level up by solo play without a raid, but to do that, you have to clear the same quest 3 times or more. So, no matter how lacking in control, I definitely have to participate in the raid quest. [All] Chae Yoo: Hyung! Hearing my request, Chae Yoo, who came all the way to the Hell swamp, rushed to me as dozens of leeches from the swamp were getting ready to fight. I look at my stamina, it was affected by stamina drain that would kill me if I even got one shot of a wide-area skill. The swamp leeches have very high defense and stamina, and it is a quest that can be cleared by catching 50 of them, so it is a time-consuming quest, but thanks to that good stalker, it took me less than 5 minutes to clear. Kuung! Kieeeiek! I aimed at a swamp leech at the center and dropped a fireball with accuracy. Then, a group of monsters that were barely alive drenched with blood from time to time succumbed to death, and the experience points increased. After receiving the experience of killing monsters and the experience of completing the quests, I successfully reached level 208. Now, I can wear the accessories I got earlier. [All] Chae Yoo: It was just 50, right? [All] I''m sleepy: oo [All] Chae Yoo: Did I do well? [All] I''m sleepy: oo When I answered silently while cleaning out my inventory, which had become crowded with auto-acquired items, Chae Yoo said nothing for a while, and then immediately started expressing his emotions. It was the blushing emoji that was created by pressing Alt F1. I was doing everything to make a difference in his character so that he gets annoyed at me and loses interest. So, I went forth with the plan. When I turned off the inventory after I organized it, the guy, who was quietly waiting, asked me. [All] Chae Yoo: Do you have more hunting quests? [All] I''m Sleepy: 30 Black Ghosts to the East [All] Chae Yoo: I''ll come with you too [All] I''m sleepy: Okay ??; Since this is the northern end, it was faster to use a scroll to go east. I opened the party window to move like Chae Yoo, I typed something in the name field, and clicked the Start Recruit button. ¡´System¡µ You have started recruiting people to form a party. [All] I''m sleepy: Join the party ??; Even though I chatted to ask him to join, Chae Yoo stood still for a while as if in thought. What¡¯s wrong with you again? [All] I''m sleepy: ? As there was no response for over 3 minutes, I thought that he might have left without a word, so I chatted once more, and just then, the sound of joining the party rang. Chae Yoo has joined the party. [Party] I''m sleepy: Why didn¡¯t you join right away? [Party] I''m sleepy: Are you using a scroll? There was no answer this time as well. What are you doing now for real? I didn''t want to waste any more time, so I used the scroll. The flashing effect obscured the screen, and the scenery changed shortly after. The black swamp boils and rises like lava, sprinkling debuff rains from the sky. It was only when I put on the robe for blocking the debuff, that Chae Yoo started chatting. [Party] Chae Yoo: Just a little [Party] Chae Yoo: surprised... [Party] I''m sleepy: About what [Party] Chae Yoo: to be in a party with hyung [Party] I''m sleepy: It¡¯s just being together, is there anything more than that? There are many surprises it seems. It wasn¡¯t my first time playing in a party. [Party] Chae Yoo: I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m in a party with you [Party] Chae Yoo: You did say you were going to let me join you [Party] Chae Yoo: When I join a party, there''s a title that gives buffs [Party] I''m sleepy: Is that so? Then use it right now [Party] Chae Yoo: hahahaha I don''t know why he¡¯s laughing, but Chae Yoo, who¡¯s complex was good and stood in my way, changed his title straight away. As soon as the title name ¡´Grandmaster Pursuer[1] Chae Yoo¡µwas changed to ¡´Sacred Master[2] Chae Yoo¡µ, my character''s health increased, and the mana recovery speed became noticeably faster. [Party] Chae Yoo: Increases stamina by 20, recovery mana speed and experience by 3% [Party] Chae Yoo: It¡¯s not an actual buffer title, there aren¡¯t many useful buffer titles [Party] Chae Yoo: Sad ??? [Party] I''m sleepy: Thanks If there is a buffer job, then the title seems to give you a buff too. From now on, I have to be friendly with users who have jobs as a buffer. [Party] Chae Yoo: Should I go after the monster? [Party] Chae Yoo: I can get 30 Black Ghosts within a min [Party] I''m sleepy: oo As he had said it so himself, he quickly dragged 30 Black Ghosts to where I was. ¡®Oh, he¡¯s really good¡¯. He has a skill that draws nearby enemies to one place and deals with the damage impact, it''s easier to destroy monsters in such a way than other ways. So, with the help of Chae Yoo, I completed the quest at an incredibly fast speed and achieved the feat of reaching level 210 within 5 days of taking level 200. Chae Yoo, who had fun partying with me and playing games, hit the chat right away as soon as I reached level 210. [Party] Chae Yoo: Hyung [Party] Chae Yoo: Should I explain to you about Raids? ¡ª TL Note (also a bit of the editor-san¡¯s note): [1] Also could be translated as [Stalker] could mean that this specific title could be used to help him keep track of a certain someone ??? [2] Also could be translated as [Leader] was implied afterwards that this title grants the user the ability to provide party buffs --- wwww... Let''s just hope that his plan of getting rid of Chae Yoo actually works- Chae Yoo is kinda interesting~ Wonder what he thinks of I''m sleepy... O, I need another editor for this novel. I would like a person, who is confident in doing the editing and a bit of experience. (P.S./ As much as this is a really hard novel, I have half-confident in completing each chapter. ><) CH 7 In Zenoris, raid quests become available once reaching level 210. Raids are divided into field raids and dungeon raids. Field raids are generally easier and simpler. That¡¯s why all the quests from level 210 to level 220 are field raids. It was time for raid quests. The first accessible field raid quest was the White Dragon Hunt. The white dragon that inhabits the northern snowfield is a restricted area, a threshold of 50 players is required for entry. After Yoo Chae¡¯s explanation and advice on how to complete the raid quest, we immediately moved to the snowy area. At the entrance to the restricted area where the White Dragon resides, players waiting for the raid to start were gathered. [Party] Yoo Chae: Once the raid starts, chatting would be difficult [Party] Yoo Chae: So Hyung, can I hear your voice? [Party] Yoo Chae: like in discord [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Discord ?? [Party] Yoo Chae: Please tell me your code [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: YooJi-han#62146 When I turned on Discord and gave my discord name, a friend request came right away. This guy¡¯s discord name was the same as what he used in Zenoris, Yoo Chae. Back then I didn¡¯t want to bother with it and used my real name. Had I known it would be like this, I would have changed it to my game username first. [Party] Yoo Chae: Wait a minute [Party] Yoo Chae: I¡¯ll call you. The chat stopped for a moment. Wait. Could it be just the two of us talking on the phone? ¡®It¡¯s a bit awkward...¡¯ I¡¯m not a very shy person, but it was a little uncomfortable to talk to someone I had known for less than a week on a call. It might create an unpleasant situation. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Are you talking to me without anyone else? [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes [Party] Yoo Chae: Of course When I asked him, the answer that came back was quite resolute. Guess I can¡¯t help it... It¡¯s not like I can refuse and say no to the raid now. [Party] Yoo Chae: Come Yoo Chae urges with an attitude that makes it somewhat hard to refuse. I slowly moved my gaze to the program window. There was no one else in the room he invited, only the two of us. I plugged in the microphone that had been put aside because I had no reason to use it until now back onto the headset and returned to my original position before participating in the call. Yoo Chae, who had entered before me, started talking first after a moment of silence. ¡°Hyung?¡± ¡°¡­¡­Uh.¡± An unfamiliar emotion rushed up and my hand that held the mouse trembled. ¡°Is it awkward for you to speak like this?¡± ¡°... No, it¡¯s not awkward.¡± When Yoo Chae heard the soft and tentative voice from the other side, he laughed, making the situation even more awkward. It was the first time in my entire life that I spoke to someone that I had only known for a few days in a game, so I wasn¡¯t used to it. Hearing his voice actually makes me feel less like chatting. Before I lose my mind from the brewing silence, Yoo Chae brought up the main point at the perfect time. ¡°See the rock in front of you over there? If you click that, you can participate in the raid.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± As we went through the area filled with players and got closer to the entrance of the restricted area, I saw a blue rock that Yoo Chae must be speaking about. When I clicked on it, an opaque window with usernames popped up. There are currently 47 people participating in the raid. When 50 people are gathered, it starts, so if there are 3 more people that join, the raid will start. ¡°It¡¯s not bad to have only three spots left. After all, people usually gather pretty quickly at this time of the day.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°Yeah. From 8pm to 10pm, a group gathers around immediately¡­ After 11 o¡¯clock it will probably slow down a little with the returning numbers. It¡¯s a weekday after all.¡± Yoo Chae continued to explain. He has a voice that girls will swoon over when they hear it. Still, he talked to me in a comfortable manner, so my tense shoulders relaxed a little. ¡°It¡¯s starting now. Hyung, have your weapon ready.¡± As he said, the three numbers were filled quickly and the entrance where entry was restricted before had opened. I hurriedly entered the restricted area with my staff and Yoo Chae followed right after me. The white snowfield with swirling snowflakes was spread wide in front of us, and in the center of it, a huge white dragon can be seen. Suddenly, a thunder-like rumble sounded. You have entered the battle area. Pay attention to your safety. The Lord of Frost is nearby. The Debuff will begin due to his presence. Field entrants are automatically given the quest ¡®Subdue the White Dragon¡¯. There were three debuffs given by the White Dragon: movement speed reduction, attack speed reduction, and recovery speed reduction. ¡°Hyung, I¡¯ll give you this, so wear it.¡± With the debuff, the movement speed has been significantly slowed down. Knowing this, Yoo Chae handed over a coat to me. ¡°If you wear this, your movement speed and recovery speed will return to normal. Only two of the three debuffs can be blocked, so keep in mind your reduced attack speed.¡± Since I am a mage, it didn¡¯t really matter if the attack speed was a little slow. I put on the coat that I was handed with and replied reflexively. ¡°Um, thank you.¡± ¡°Yeah? It¡¯s no p-¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± Yoo Chae¡¯s voice, which had been steadily explaining without a change in pitch, suddenly shook violently after I said thank you. Before this, his voice flowed like we were chatting normally. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you its movement pattern.¡± Unlike before, Yoo Chae spoke with a slightly flustered tone. ¡°Field dragons in aggro have differing movement patterns depending on their health percentage. See the gauge at the top?¡± ¡°Is it the one that says 30?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± As he had said, at the top of the game screen, there was a bright red health gauge. Looking at the 30/30 gauge, I was able to guess how much hp the White Dragon had without having to listen to the explanation. ¡°Down to 25 hp, it¡¯s quite easy because the tail swipe and the stomp are visibly different in action and timing. It¡¯s a good time to unleash skills, so make sure that we fill up at least half of the required damage during this time.¡± Both the level quest and the raid area entry quest could be cleared only by inflicting 500,000 or more damage to the White Dragon. I don¡¯t know how much skill damage the White Dragon will take depending on the defense, but it¡¯s clear that the more I hit, the better. ¡°From 24 hp downwards, the dragon will fly to the sky, so it gets a bit tricky, but if you control your skills as usual, Hyung, that would be enough.¡± ¡°I heard that it uses magic too.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. From 24 hp, the dragon uses Hailstorm and Thunder from above. However, the speed is not that fast, so you just have to watch the floor markings and avoid it.¡± Of course, it¡¯s easy to avoid if it gives markings on the floor. I nodded. ¡°And?¡± ¡°It will be shooting breath attacks at 17 hp¡­ This is a bit tricky. The attack power is also high, so if you weren¡¯t wearing that coat, Hyung, it will be considered a deadly[1] attack as soon as you get hit.¡± ¡°How do I avoid it?¡± ¡°It traverses the entire map and spins around once, so you can use the evasion technique at the right timing. The direction is always clockwise.¡± ¡°I see.¡± ¡°And from 5 hp downwards, meteors will pour down. I will explain more of this to you then, since it¡¯s a bit hard to explain it with words.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± I was still a little nervous about what I should do and wanted to make it clear about what to do again. However, I had no choice but to accept it due to not having time to ask for a reexplanation. As soon as the conversation with him was over, a video of the white dragon howling appeared, and the raid began in earnest. [All] Herrera: You guys are crowded around 7 o¡¯clock[2]; [All] Herrera: There¡¯s a lack of people at 12 o¡¯clock [All] Kola: Who is a buffer or healer here?? [All] Rabbit woof woof: Whoever is the sharpshooter in front of me move away [All] Rabbit woof woof: You¡¯re bothersome for moving backwards As soon as the video ended, 50 users rushed at the White Dragon. As Yoo Chae said, it was to fill up the damage during the moment where the pattern was easy. I also mixed among them and cast spells as much as I could. Thanks to the fact that they were in a party together, Yoo Chae¡¯s chain damage was much more distinguishable from the damage numbers of other users. While the others did 2,000 or 3,000 damage or so, Yoo Chae continued to pour over 20,000 damage by himself. The white dragon, who had been wailing from being beaten by 50 people, flew away with its huge wings wide open. It was exactly the moment when the health gauge reached 24/30. Thud! A hailstorm and pure white thunder, which causes wide-area stun when nearby, randomly fell on the field. I was more wary of the Hailstorm than the narrow-ranged Thunder and moved around it. The users who were stunned due to the hailstorm were hit by thunder and started to collapse one by one. [All] Rabbit woof woof: Ah, long-distance bosses are frustrating [All] Coffee Aroma: It¡¯s too late, there¡¯s blood all over the place;; [All] Shadow Drawing: No, it¡¯s just that we¡¯re lacking long-distance attackers.. [All] Shadow Drawing: I have to change the field arrangement to fill 25 people in the far distance [All] Mishare: Surely the speed at which the gauge decrease shows the level of the game It was noticeably slower than before. There were about 16 ranged attackers, but since the number was smaller than that of the close-range fighters, the attack power was also weakened. Roaaar! Still, after steadily whittling down the gauge, the dragon came down to the ground again. Then it opened its mouth wide and let out a long, pure white fire. It was Breath, a skill that only boss dragons had. It was clear that the dragon was breathing out in a clockwise direction, but it was slightly more difficult than I thought to use the evasion technique in the right timing. ¡°As expected, you are doing well.¡± When I barely escaped the fourth breath, Yoo Chae, who had been playing the game quietly, praised me. It was a compliment from the person who told me the pattern, so I quietly accepted it. Unlike me and other novice players, who are busy avoiding the breath attacks, the gauge quickly decreased due to the power of Yoo Chae and other veteran players, who skilfully dodged and kept attacking back. After the 8th breath, the white dragon whose health gauge reached 5/30 started flapping its wings again. Finally, it was Meteor time. If you survive this turn, you can catch the White Dragon. I immediately stopped casting skills and asked. ¡°What should I do?¡± ¡°Come to my side.¡± As the white dragon climbed high into the sky, it created a bright red fireball, the number 10 appeared on the screen. It meant that after 10 seconds the meteor was going to pour down. ¡°See the blue stone in the front? When the meteor pours, the stone turns on the shield. That is the only way to avoid it.¡± ¡°Is that at the end of the 12 o¡¯clock position?¡± ¡°Yeah. There¡¯s four. The 12 o¡¯clock, 3 o¡¯clock, 6 o¡¯clock, and 9 o¡¯clock positions are at the edge of the map. Meteor will fall a total of 4 times, and in each time, we have to move to a different stone.¡± I ran quickly as I listened to the explanation and arrived at the 12 o¡¯clock position. At the same time, 10 seconds passed, and a large meteor fell with a deafening roar. It was a daunting moment. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be able to make it in 10 seconds on the next turn though.¡± It was impossible to summon a pet because the field quest was in progress. Looking at Meteor inside the opaque shield, Yoo Chae confidently answered the question. ¡°That¡¯s why I told you to stick with me.¡± Yoo Chae put his golden chain away and took out a red chain instead. Clack clack, the character of Yoo Chae turned the chain round and round as if he was charging a skill. ¡°Hyung, please send me a bond request.¡± ¡°What?¡± Is there such a thing? Curious, I right clicked on Yoo Chae¡¯s character and a new item called [Bond Request] was added to the list. When I pressed it, my character was closely attached to Yoo Chae¡¯s character. That¡¯s what this was for. ¡°Is there such a skill?¡± When I asked this question, Yoo Chae said in an excited voice. ¡°It¡¯s one of the hidden skills of the chain job¡± Just as the Meteor ended, Yoo Chae swung the long chain and swirled it towards a pole in the distance. Me and Yoo Chae¡¯s character, who were sticking together, flew to that place in an instant. ¡°The hidden skill is good, but it seems like a skill that can¡¯t be used often.¡± ¡°I certainly can¡¯t use this anywhere other than these types of situations...¡­¡­¡± ¡°Yeah. After all, there are few chain users.¡± Easily moving to the 3 o¡¯clock stone, we survived the second Meteor without any problems. Other users asked a nearby buffer to increase their movement speed or received teleport help from a max level wizard. Those who were running ignorantly were brutally beaten to death by Meteor. If you survived Meteor, then what comes next was easy. Since Meteor was the final skill, the white dragon that came down to the ground was attacked by everyone and collapsed without making a click. When the health gauge reached 0/30, a bright light burst, and the quest was completed. [All] Rising full moon: ???3 [All] Script: ????4 [All] Kankan2: ?? dragon [All] Mishare: Good work~ ¡°Hyung, have you filled the required damage amount?¡± ¡°I filled it.¡± I opened the completed quest window and checked how much damage was dealt. 502,361 damage. It was really a narrow success. ¡°I passed the required amount by about 2,000 damage and barely did it.¡± If I had hit even one less, then the quest would have been unsuccessful. Still, the level quest and field quest experience came in at the same time, so it was rather salty. ¡°Hmm. Hyung, what kind of staff are you using now?¡± ¡°Luna.¡± ¡°I think the damage dealt is less because of the staff. Wait.¡± When the White Dragon died, we were automatically kicked out of the area. Yoo Chae took out his inventory and immediately set up a trade. I frowned at the staff that was placed on top of the trading window. ¡°I do not need it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not expensive, Hyung.¡± Yoo Chae replied straight away, as if reading my thoughts. ¡°As I¡¯m used to the staff I am using right now, it will be hard to react quickly in the upcoming raid quests.¡± ¡°What¡¯s different about using this?¡± I looked at the staff on the trading window. It has the 4 same stats as I have. There is no difference in attack power or durability. However, the Lux 2.0 written at the bottom of the spec window was a bit suspicious. ¡°Hyung uses elemental skills often, so the Solis staff will be more useful.¡± ¡°What is the extra spec at the bottom?¡± ¡°That¡¯s just¡­ It doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s like extra damage, but 2% isn¡¯t that big.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± I was suspicious and didn¡¯t want to accept the transaction, so I opened the auction house window to check its price. The answer to every problem will always be in the auction house. I looked through the list of staffs at the auction and saw a few things tagged. Let¡¯s see... 4 lvl Luna staff. The price of Lux 1.0 is about 5,000 gold. It¡¯s not super cheap, but the staff price was not expensive. It doesn¡¯t seem like a big deal? Then it¡¯s not a big deal to receive it. I lightly pressed accept deal to get the staff. ¡°Thank you.¡± As soon as I held it, the blue jewel embedded in the tip of the staff shone brightly. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen this effect. ¡°What the..¡± In response to my gratitude, Yoo Chae spoke in the brightest voice I had ever heard today. ¡°Use it well, Hyung.¡± ¡ª Author¡¯s Note 1 Deadly: The state on the verge of being impossible to survive. Even one hit will kill you. TL Note: 2 [O¡¯clock] usage means like they are talking about the ground in a clockwise area. Think of the land like a clock and clockwise direction. Then the markings will be of the 1-12 hours 3 [???] It¡¯s a clapping emoji 4 [????] It¡¯s the disco dance; it¡¯s something like a pattern for it CH 8 (Guild Manager¡¯s POV) I¡¯m sleepy [Offline] While I was looking at the member list in the guild window, I chatted my thoughts on the guild chat. [Guild] Drink some water: Come to think of it [Guild] Drink some water: Isn¡¯t it tomorrow? That the one-week period ends [Guild] Bright Clouds: How are you? [Guild] Haerun: Ah ???? [Guild] Haerun: Come on hahahaha Sleepy-nim, it¡¯s been a week since you have joined lol hahahaha Six days ago, a newbie joined the Guild Early Evening. ¡®I¡¯m sleepy¡¯, was a newbie that drew attention in many ways. He was not at all intimidated by the attitude of Yoo Chae. But even I was fed up with it, so I was curious as to how I¡¯m sleepy endured it. [Guild] I¡¯m getting lazy: huh, if you don¡¯t want to leave, it¡¯s okay ? Aside from the first impression of the guild master, ¡®I¡¯m sleepy¡¯ was a good user to get along with in many ways. Not at all like a newbie, he has good control, excellent fighting sense, and has a pretty good personality. A person who does not draw too much line or distance from others and does not burden others. If someone gives him a small help, he always says thank you. He also does not forget and will remember the person who helped him, then he will repay even if it was a little help. To be honest, if they were a newbie, people wouldn¡¯t have any complaints even if they just understood carefully. On the contrary, when people help him not only does he understand perfectly but also show more than that, so it was fun from the view of veterans. For that reason, most of the guild members, including the Guild master, Yoo Chae, were in a state of interest in ¡®I¡¯m sleepy¡¯, who had good game skills. [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Where do you get newbies like that? lolol [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Really.. I really would like to take you in and teach you [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: I was in the Dragon Raid earlier. [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Gil-ma came together with the newbie [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: He never loses and puts in damage well [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: Oh, what was I doing at that level; [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: I must have been digging in the back during that quest [Guild] Haerun: I saw them avoiding the hits with Gil-ma¡¯s skill [Guild] Haerun: Blood is cheap lolol [Guild] Park Seung-Jin 99: Water-nim [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Now that the week¡¯s going to be over, the time of his stay is ending soon too [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Are you going to register ¡®I¡¯m sleepy¡¯ as a member? [Guild] Drink some water: Hmm Guardian Guild Selection. In , there are several towns and cities, and there are guilds that protect the city. It was one of the large-scale guild events because various buffs and management amounts are received when a city or village is protected by winning the preliminary round. The most popular and most competitive city was the centrally found Veritas. It was located in the center of the map, so it was a city used by many users, and it was the largest as well, so there were a lot of buffs and money that came with it. The Guardian Guild of Veritas City was currently Early Evening. When the preliminary round starts, Early Evening has to win the final victory against all the guilds that challenged them that want to take over the seat as the Guardian Guild of the Veritas City. [Guild] Drink some water: Don¡¯t know [Guild] Drink some water: I think we should at least get confirmation from I¡¯m sleepy if he¡¯s willing to stay in this guild. In order to participate in the preliminary round, at least one new user who reached max level within two months had to be included. It was also the reason that Early Evening started the recruitment of new guild members. In such a situation, the emergence of a newbie with excellent control skills was truly fate. [Guild] Drink some water: Yoo Chae [Guild] Drink some water: What do you think about the newbie? ¡®So, that guy was the biggest problem. If it wasn¡¯t for Gil-ma¡¯s thoughtless personality, he wouldn¡¯t have asked I¡¯m sleepy to leave the guild and I would have completed registration for the preliminary round sooner.¡¯ Yoo Chae answered the question immediately. [Guild] Yoo Chae: I don¡¯t know? [Guild] Drink some water: Oh - - [Guild] Haerun: No; [Guild] Haerun: You were supposed to be nice and then confidently say yes ?? [Guild] Mocha Bread: Yes [Guild] Mocha Bread: Solis wand with Lux 2 is such a good item [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Solis is a real all-time legend lolol [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: Ah fuc.. I want it too, who will give me such a new item for free? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Don¡¯t talk to Hyung about the weapon [Guild] Yoo Chae: I think he took it without knowing it Yoo Chae, who warned the guild members in advance, then continued. [Guild] Yoo Chae: most likely [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung will leave [Guild] Drink some water: Is that so? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Yes [Guild] Drink some water: Then let¡¯s pick another newbie? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Wait [Guild] Yoo Chae: I have an idea The guild members, who had been silent for a while at the command, soon began to gossip. [Guild] Mocha Bread: Oh, this feels ominous [Guild] Mocha Bread: Is it only me? ??;; [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: Anyone visiting the incident bulletin board again? [Guild] Haerun: It was quiet for a while ^^ [Guild] Bright Clouds: I shouldn¡¯t get involved.. *** (Back to MC¡¯s POV) After finishing my part-time job and working out at the gym, I got a call from Kim Dae-seok on the way home. - Yoo Ji-han, why haven¡¯t you logged in? ¡°I¡¯m out.¡± -Ah, part-time job today? ¡°Yep..¡± Actually, I was late not only because I was working part-time, but also because I was working out. I was too lazy to explain it, so I just answered roughly. I was sorting out books at the bookstore, but my shoulders felt extra sore due to working out. While tilting my head back and forth to slightly loosen the muscles, I asked. ¡°Anyway, why?¡± -Isn¡¯t it today that you¡¯re leaving the guild? Oh, yeah. Until yesterday, I had forgotten about it because of the field raid. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± -Are you going to come to our guild right away? I already informed my Gil-ma Hyung. I blinked my eyes for a moment and pondered. ¡®I think so, but...¡­¡­¡­¡¯ For some reason, my heart was feeling too complicated to answer meekly. As I was quiet, Kim Dae-seok suddenly asked straight away without patience. -Are you not coming? ¡°No. I¡¯m coming. When I get home, I will wash up and log onto the game right away, so wait.¡± -Okay. My house was right in front. After I hung up the phone and entered the house, I immediately finished taking a shower and sat down in front of the computer. ¡®Wait.¡¯ As usual, I tried to access the game, but I changed my mind and went to the Zenoris website. I thought it would be better to leave the guild before joining the game. If people say hello through the guild chat for nothing, things will get complicated. Fortunately, leaving could be done on the website as well. Without hesitation, I went straight to the guild management page and clicked the [Leave] button next to the guild name ¡®Early Evening¡¯. //You have left the guild// I looked at the message on the screen for a moment and then turned it off. It was supposed to be like this. Of course, I feel a little uncomfortable when I think of the guy who surprisingly cared for me for the past week, but it can¡¯t be helped. Above all, was the plan somewhat successful? Even Yoo Chae will have a lot of emotions when he sees me finally leaving the guild. Thinking like that, I felt a little uncomfortable. Swiping my bangs, which were slightly wet, I logged into the game. I went to bed early yesterday because of my part-time job, so I turned it off as soon as the raid was over. Hence, I was standing in a black zone, where the dragon raid happened. After leaving the guild, the guild name above the username was blank, and the guild chat window was greyed out and disabled. [Soeso: Heh heh] [Soeso: Central] [I¡¯m sleepy: Okok] After replying to Kim Dae-Seok¡¯s message and moving to the central city, I realized that there was no one but Kim Dae-Seok on the window of my friend list. Guild chat is so convenient, I didn¡¯t even think about adding friends. ¡®No, of course, even if I remembered, I would have not added any friends either.¡¯ I was going to leave anyway, but I made friends with the guild members in Early Evening, so I wasn¡¯t sure how to interact with them if I added them as friends and then left the guild. I¡¯m rather glad I didn¡¯t. When I arrived in the central city with useless thoughts, Kim Dae-seok, who was waiting for me at the warp point, ran straight up and opened the party window. Next to him was the Guild Master of¡´One Heart One Will¡µ. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Let¡¯s go ?? ?? I didn¡¯t expect the Gil-ma to come right away. Still, it wasn¡¯t bad because I wanted the conversation to be quick. After I entered the party, guild master, Unyum, greeted me. [Party] Unyum: Hello haha [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Hello [Party] Unyum: I heard a lot about you from Dae-seok haha Kim Dae-seok called him Hyung, so he must have been a man, but I felt a very neat and gentle energy in the chat. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Is that so? [Party] Unyum: Yes, He says you are very good [Party] Unyum: Of course, I also heard about your guild work, and your personality looks so good. So, are you on good terms with the Early Evening guild? Unyum was wearing a bright red sword on his back that didn¡¯t match the character¡¯s smiling face. I think that weapon was for a Berserker. ¡®Are you slashing mobs with a greatsword with a smiling face like that?¡¯ After a few small conversations with me, Unyum said with a bright smile. [Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim, would you like to come to our guild? [Party] Unyum: It¡¯s totally welcome haha [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s me that should be saying thank you Because Kim Dae-seok had already said everything, the procedure was simpler than when joining Early Evening. I wrote a few words of greetings in the guild join request that Unyum sent me and clicked the OK button. [Party] Unyum: I gave a rough explanation to the guild members. [Party] Unyum: You can stay here comfortably! At the same time as that chat, guild name was created above my username. The re-energized guild chat was filled with unfamiliar names. [Guild] Kyokyokyoko: Hello~ [Guild] Beecher: Hehehe~ [Guild] Popabam: Wow, there¡¯s a newbie~< [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Hi young one ?.? [Guild] Jang-hoon: Hahahaha [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Hello I was introducing myself again... However, this time, it was fortunate that everyone seemed to have good personalities. [Guild] Soeso: My friend haha [Guild] Soeso: Real friend~ [Guild] Beecher: You have friends? LOL [Guild] Unyum: Sleepy-nim is a newcomer so a real newbie [Guild] Unyum: Please help him a lot with quests and raids haha~ [Guild] Jang-hoon: Yep I laughed lightly at Unyum¡¯s cheerful chat. [Whisper] Soeso: So? [Whisper] Soeso: What do you think about the atmosphere? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s good This was going pretty well. Of course, I didn¡¯t see the same troubles like in Early Evening, but there¡¯s no need to have anything like that to play a game anyway. [Party] Unyum: Sleepy, what level are you now? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m at 212 [Party] Unyum: Heh, hasn¡¯t it been less than a month since you started? [Party] Unyum: That¡¯s really fast. [Party] Unyum: Then can I help you with the raid quest? hehehe [Party] Soeso: ?? I want to go too [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Thanks thanks [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: The Dragon Raid is red now [Party] Unyum: Indeed red [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯ll scroll and take a look When I was just about to open my inventory and click on use Scroll to move. Suddenly, the system was overtaken by another window that appeared in the center of the screen. The ¡®Early Evening¡¯ guild has declared war on the ¡®One Heart One Will¡¯ guild. War voting is in progress. The voting period is 3 days. [War Voting] Are you in favor of going to war? [Agree] [Against] [Hold] ¡°¡­¡­?¡± [Party] Unyum: ?? [Party] Soeso: ? [Guild] Jang-hoon: ? [Guild] Beecher: What? [Guild] Popabam: ? ;; [Guild] The greatness of chicken: Huh?? Gilma, are we at war? [Guild] Speechless: Suddenly...? ¡ª New names: ¡´One Heart One Will¡µ Unyum Jang-hoon Seol Ji-hye Kyokyokyoko Beecher Popabam CH 9 [All] Phohong: Hahahahahaha is it Early Evening again? [All] White fox: What a bummer [All] Water eating hippo: Looks like their Gil-ma has anger issues again [All] Dragon dragon: Ah, a sweet match [All] Oh Lovebird: But isn¡¯t our One Heart One Will guild on good terms with the Early Evening guild? [All] John¡¯s tasty beef restaurant: Cassak Bread1 go go go ?? ?? The whole chat went into an uproar at the sudden declaration of guild war. Unlike me, who was dazed and stiff, the Gilma, who managed to gain back reason, spoke quickly. [Guild] Unyum: ??;; [Guild] Unyum: Everyone, please press hold off with the voting for now [Guild] Beecher: Gil-ma [Guild] Beecher: So, we¡¯re not going to war, are we? [Guild] Popabam: ??really.. we better evade war [Guild] Popabam: vs Early Evening, we would be robbed like dogs... [Guild] Jang-hoon: Then what else is the point of doing this again haha [Guild] Jang-hoon: It¡¯s not that, right? [Guild] Soeso: OX It¡¯s not like them to go to the extent of doing this dog shit [Guild] Soeso: I feel like I¡¯m going to be robbed of my inner core lol [Guild] Jang-hoon: ? [Guild] The greatness of chicken: Early Evening why? [Guild] Unyum: I¡¯ll go and find out [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: then go lol [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: I was beaten up at that one time, and I¡¯m terrified now I watched the situation unfold with my hands prone on the keyboard, I frowned at a sudden thought. ¡°No way¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± ¡®Do you think it¡¯s¡­? It probably isn¡¯t.¡¯ An ominous speculation suddenly surfaced, and a chill ran down my spine. ¡®Wake up.¡¯ Anyway, there¡¯s no way I¡¯m that precious or something. To declare a guild war because of a newbie you¡¯ve only known for a week? And it¡¯s to the only friendly guild you have? I laughed out loud at the absurd thought. This is called being too self-conscious. It shouldn¡¯t be like that. [Party] Unyum: I¡¯m [Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim [Party] Unyum: I¡¯m sorry about the Raid;; [Party] Unyum: I don¡¯t think we can do it right now Resolving my confusion, I quickly moved my stiff fingers to answer. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: no no [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I understand. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: it¡¯s okay [Party] Unyum: ?????? I could feel the embarrassment that Unyum felt even through the high-pitched monitor. What¡¯s going on, really. I couldn¡¯t say anything recklessly because I don¡¯t know how guild wars are fought and progressed, but seeing the reactions of the guild members, it doesn¡¯t seem like a normal thing. ¡®More than that, if there¡¯s even a vote system, isn¡¯t it possible to not go to war?¡¯ It doesn¡¯t mean that we have to unconditionally accept the invitation to war. While looking at Unyum, who was struggling to get things right, I poked Kim Dae-seok. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Hey so [Whisper] Soeso: Hm? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Can¡¯t we just refuse the vote all together? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: What¡¯s all the fuss about? [Whisper] Soeso: Oh, this is... [Whisper] Soeso: A bit more complicated than you think [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: What is it? After the chat, Kim Dae-seok became quiet. He seemed to have some reason, so I waited quietly to hear it. [Guild] Kyokyokyoko: It¡¯s time to go on a raid; [Guild] Kyokyokyoko: I was in a hurry, so I pressed hold for now;; [Guild] Kyokyokyoko: How¡¯s it going with Early Evening Gilma?? [Guild] Unyum: There¡¯s no answer ?? [Guild] Unyum: Ah, for reals what¡¯s happening.. [Guild] Popabam: Are you sure you didn¡¯t make a mistake or something? [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: No, not even [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: I am sure that it was a joke from the number one guild or something as it was so sudden [Guild] Jang-hoon: ?? No manners Like the buzzing guild atmosphere, the entire chat was cluttered. The players seemed to be very excited at the rice cake thrown at a boring time. [All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? [All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? [All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? [All] PCTa: how many times has Early Evening applied for war? [All] When the engine is peeled off: Continuous attacks doesn¡¯t make harm [All] granduca: it¡¯s not the Fever Guild? [All] granduca: Suddenly, why One Heart One Will? [All] Pebble Class: Azon or not, Groak Four sec Early Evening Carvings 2 [All] Angel¡¯s Anchor: Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? Cassak Bread? [All] Pa-seok: Is this not the 3rd time? [All] Take a special lecture: Let¡¯s give it a shot [All] Liu Bei Guan-Woo: King Chiman,, Yoo Chae-chan is a Gwanjong,, 3 [All] Park Destiny: Blood,, fool,,,, [All] Knock knock: Ah don¡¯t do it [All] Independence Fighter: [email protected] hahaha Watching the chat going crazy all over the place gave me a headache, so I turned the whole channel tab out of sight. As long as the guild war declaration was released on all channels, it was understandable that the resulting wave was not small. Early Evening is the number one guild, so the guild it is competing with must be huge as well. [Whisper] Soeso: Sorry, I suddenly got a call from my mom [Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, what was this about? [Whisper] Soeso: Rejecting is possible but [Whisper] Soeso: If you reject the same guild 3 times [Whisper] Soeso: It¡¯s considered as a defeat [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? [Whisper] Soeso: 3 rejections ¡ú 1 defeat ?? [Whisper] Soeso: If we lose a battle, [Whisper] Soeso: A lot of our guild places will be taken away [Whisper] Soeso: If you make a mistake, your level will drop, and you have to do stuff again. I tilted my head to Kim Dae-seok¡¯s explanation. So, even if you reject this guild war, if Early Evening recklessly declares war two more times, you can refuse and lose, or start the war and lose, right? ¡®Of course, if you just start the war, then if Early Evening loses and One heart, One Will wins...¡­¡­¡­¡¯ Considering Yoo Chae¡¯s skills and the amount of damage he deals during raids, plus the skills of their guild members, the likelihood of that happening was remarkably low. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Hey, this system is a bit weird; [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Isn¡¯t it only good for top guilds? [Whisper] Soeso: But the number of guild proposals is limited for each guild. [Whisper] Soeso: Five times a year... [Whisper] Soeso: If I remember correctly, For Early Evening, this is their 3rd war this year [Whisper] Soeso: So, it¡¯s a waste of time for them to use up their two remaining chances [Whisper] Soeso: In terms of gaining, it¡¯s better to defeat another guild than ours [Whisper] Soeso: If we are at war the second time with the same guild, we wouldn¡¯t be able to kill them [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: So, there¡¯s a chance that the other 2 chances would be used later. [Whisper] Soeso: Hahaha that¡¯s right [Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, this is something tacit among the guild masters. [Whisper] Soeso: We don¡¯t really get along until we are in need of each other [Whisper] Soeso: Long story short, it is unconditionally known by the public [Whisper] Soeso: Even if you win, doing the war itself is troublesome and you will have to deal with a lot of damage [Whisper] Soeso: Let that idea go before we decide if we go on war [Whisper] Soeso: Let¡¯s not go far as to meet them before the war either~ It would be troublesome [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: oo [Whisper] Soeso: It¡¯s always Early Evening to use it all up first haha ?? [Whisper] Soeso: Most guilds don¡¯t even use their 5 times [Whisper] Soeso: Early Evening is the only guild who uses it up at the beginning of every year hahaha ¡°¡­¡­¡± So, in the end, the Early Evening guild is the problem itself. Since there is a high probability that they will only harm each other, the guild wars that are implicitly avoided are also limited to five times a year, and they use it to openly brag about their strength to guilds weaker than themselves. ¡®I didn¡¯t think it would go so far to even have these trashy kinds of rules.¡¯ I remembered the experience of doing the dragon raid while exchanging conversations with a microphone. It¡¯s also true that they gave me items and took good care of me, so it made me feel very uncomfortable that I had been doing things like that on the Internet. I was in the wrong guild, and they even said that I was good friends with the Guild master. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: I understand a little bit why they were reluctant about the guild war [Whisper] Soeso: Well, but that¡¯s not all [Whisper] Soeso: There are some things that are a way off. [Whisper] Soeso: First of all, ranked near Early Evening, I¡¯m not familiar with the guild called Fever. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Fever? [Whisper] Soeso: ?? [Whisper] Soeso: They don¡¯t have much to do with us lolol [Whisper] Soeso: It¡¯s crazy that they go and try to defeat Early Evening as if they were really sick. [Whisper] Soeso: It seems like they tried it twice with early evening this year and both ended in loss, so they still have a long way to go Fever Guild. I feel like I have seen it somewhere before. I immediately opened the guild window and typed Fever into the search bar. [3. Fever | Guild Level: Grand | Inn circle: 233 | Guild leader: Significant] It¡¯s the 3rd best guild on the server. It was then that I remembered the name of the guild as I saw often in the chart. [Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, why did you ask all of a sudden? [Whisper] Soeso: Are you saying that we¡¯re the ones that did the bad thing? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s because I didn¡¯t know about the war stuff in this game, so I asked After hearing Kim Dae-seok¡¯s explanation, I couldn¡¯t understand the behavior of Early Evening even more. They must have guilds that they have a bad relationship with, so the matter of guild war proposals must be quite important. Judging by Unyum¡¯s reaction, it doesn¡¯t seem like it¡¯s an event that can just be overlooked...¡­¡­¡­ [Guild] Unyum: Hmm; [Guild] Unyum: Guys, listen up [Guild] Unyum: Everyone can do it now [Guild] Unyum: Yoo Chae-nim didn¡¯t give an answer [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Yes [Guild] Popabam: Yep [Guild] Kyokyokyoko: ??? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Yes After trying to contact the Guild Master of Early Evening for over 30 minutes, Unyum finally gave up that approach with a sigh. As the person in question does not give an answer, he will have no choice but to make a decision. Early Evening, the one that started the guild war, did not show any response, the entire chat quickly withered. [Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim [Party] Unum: I¡¯m sorry, as soon as you entered the guild, ?? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: No, please don¡¯t worry about me After a while, I came out of the party to go on a hunting quest in a slightly awkward atmosphere. Whatever it is, if there¡¯s any problem, I can just post it in the guild chat. Until then, I¡¯ll have to level up. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯ll go and do a quest [All] Unyum: okay [All] Soeso: ?? I opened the inventory and rediscovered the scroll that I had not used because of the guild war vote. And right at the moment I was going to use it. [Server] Yoo Chae: Hello this is Early Evening¡¯s Guild Master. ¡°¡­¡­?¡± A large, bright red text appeared at the top of the game screen. It seems that a ¡®gigantic loudspeaker¡¯ was being used, it was a cash item priced at 6,900 won each and was a chat message that was released to all channels within the server. [Guild] Seol Ji-hye: ??? [Guild] Soeso: oo Eh? [Guild] Kyokyokyoko: What the heck? [Guild] Beecher: ? [All] Commander-in-Chief: What the fuck hahahahahaha [All] Hatcher: Greetings?? what is the Guild Master of a huge guild doing here? [All] Make it dazzling: Kyaaaah Yoo Chae Oppa [All] Bong-Joon Bong-Joon: Blegh The fact that Yoo Chae, who did not respond to Unyum¡¯s desperate message at all, used a gigantic loudspeaker, or Megaphone for short, started to run rampant again, not only in the guild chat, but also in the entire global chat that had barely faded. [Server] Yoo Chae: Sorry for the sudden guild war. [Server] Yoo Chae: We had no choice but to do it. [Server] Yoo Chae: It¡¯s because the guild took away something very important from us. To my surprise, the moment I saw that, the next chat popped up in my head. It was such a bizarre thought, and at the same time, it was very fucking disgusting. No way, no way¡­ it¡¯s not, right? Please¡­¡­¡­ [Server] Yoo Chae: Please return our Sleepy Hyung that you took [Server] Yoo Chae: Until then, the guild war will continue ¡°Oh, shit.¡± [Server] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung, come back..I will do better....cri As soon as the last message was posted, I couldn¡¯t take it any longer, and buried my face in both of my hands. ¡ª TL Note: 1 [Cassak Bread] is a gaming term in which players fight and the loser deletes their character, essentially resetting all their progress.

After a long while I managed to raise my head. As expected, the chat window reflected on the monitor was very chaotic as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped.

Calm down [Guild] Unyum: First of all, Yoo Chae-nim¡¯s chat still hasn¡¯t been answered yet ¡°¡­¡­¡± Fuck... The only thing that came out was swearing. Having caused a great inconvenience to the whole guild, I started chatting quietly.

[Guild] Beecher: oo Sleepy-nim is good [Guild] Beecher: So That¡¯s why he¡¯s trying to take him [Guild] Jang-hoon: Whatever it is; As I was about to apologize again, I stopped at the unfamiliar term. ¡®The preliminary round? What is that?¡¯ [Whisper] Soeso: Hey, is it because of that? [Whisper] Soeso: Is it for reals? Hahahaha I was curious about what it¡¯s about, but because the guild atmosphere wasn¡¯t so good right now it doesn¡¯t seem right to ask. Thankfully, Kim Dae-seok sent me a whisper just at this time so I could ask him comfortably. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Hey, what¡¯s the preliminary round? [Whisper] Soeso: Oh, that¡¯s... um... [Whisper] Are you sleepy: ? I narrowed my eyes at Kim Dae-seok¡¯s suspicious attitude. ¡®Why are you doing that without explaining properly?¡¯ But before I could ask, a large, red message popped out.

[Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Just me [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Let¡¯s talk a little because we¡¯re friendly I would never have dreamed of ever adding that bastard as a friend, but to leave Gilma Unyum to handle him alone, I realized will only end up with things going nowhere. Damn, damn. I mumbled curses as if wanting to really hit and write Yoo Chae¡¯s username in the Add Friend window at the same time. ? Yoo Chae However, even a long time after sending him the friend request, the sign that says that he¡¯s logged in did not appear on his username. ¡°Why, this bastard?¡± With a sudden surge of anxiety, I sent a whisper just in case. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Hey [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Can you add me back? The whisper chat responded with a . This means that Yoo Chae, that bastard did not even log out and was deliberately not accepting my friend request. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Add me as a friend [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Don¡¯t ignore my words, you fuck As I ground my teeth and sent a whisper, the server chat came up again. [Server] Yoo Chae: I¡¯m sleepy, I¡¯m not going to receive any of your messages until you come out of that guild so stop sending me whispers/friend requests ? [Server] Yoo Chae: Until you come out of that guild, I won¡¯t receive any friends and whispers requests [All] Aurel: Ooooooh ; [All] kwon: hahahahahahaha [All] Blue bird green: Wow, it¡¯s really an all-time greatest win to watch this happening in real time hahahaha [All] Tegongi: Oh, TMI? [Guild] Unyum: ??... [Guild] Beecher: Why is he like that really???? [Guild] Popabam: Now it¡¯s just.. it¡¯s funny.. ?? Bang! Unable to hold my anger by only seeing the Server chat like a dog, I slammed the keyboard with my fist. After starting Zenoris, this 250,000 won gaming keyboard flashed colorfully again, flaunting that it has already been hit for the second time. Taking a deep breath, I opened the Zenoris website and went to the payment window. I bought 5 ¡®giant loudspeakers¡¯ for 6,900 won and typed a message with all of my sincerity. [Server] I¡¯m sleepy: Add me as a friend right away, you bastard. [All] Yong Chan-kang: Pffffttttt [All] Be generous: Heuk hahahahahaha [All] Nitro Georgia: Sleepy Hyung typed-back hahahahahahaha [All] Blue Chopper: What¡¯s with that username? lol [All] snstmsns: The couple quarrels all over the place; [All] Jealousy: ?

[All] Red Lava: Please give me a server transfer ticket [Whisper] Soeso: Did you buy that? I left the screen with the friend list window open, but the only answer that came back was that there was no sign of login, and it was still questionable whether he had the intention to accept my friend request or not. [Server] Yoo Chae: Hyung, me too, I really want to be friends with you, but I can¡¯t until you come out of that guild okay? ?? [Server] Yoo Chae: Can you understand? Even so, don¡¯t doubt my love... I want to be friends with you.. Come back soon ??? [All] I want to be rich: Ah, Fuck!! Fuck ah!! Fuck! [All] Jun-ai: Bleeegh bleeegh [All] I¡¯ll take care of you: I might have witnessed a legend in my life, to see this not on Guild chat but on server chat [All] kan123: Don¡¯t start acting like it¡¯s a couple fight [All] Kim Moo Deok-bae: How do I block Server Chat please?

I barely managed to catch up and use the second loudspeaker. [Server] I¡¯m sleepy: If you ask me to put everything down and come, do I have to come to yours? I¡¯ve already said everything a week ago that I¡¯m going to leave the guild, so why are you doing this now? [Server] Yoo Chae: That¡¯s right, that¡¯s why I¡¯m trying hard to appeal to you to come back [Server] Yoo Chae: It¡¯s too much to say that it¡¯s rude... I¡¯m just trying to get along with Hyung and raid dungeons together in the same guild as before... [Server] Yoo Chae: I hate you! ??? Me¡­ what? I hate you? Shit, do you hate me? Is that really a chat from a 23-year-old boy¡¯s hand? [All] Forty: hahahaha Fuck hahahaha I hate you! >< [All] cobb990: I think it¡¯s quicker to just turn off the game [All] Wangane Mandu: I think I¡¯m going crazy [All] Senior Moon: To turn off server chat Go to Settings [All] Feel the difference: Thanks;; [All] Melon Musk: ? I came back here after eating, it seems that it¡¯s still in the middle of this lol [All] You gossip: I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on now, but why Yoo Chae? Why suddenly the hate??? ;; [All] Twice 2¡¯s Jihyo fan: Then that means that the newbie¡¯s taken~ Even though the temperature wasn¡¯t hot, my body heated up from the soaring tantrums. Aggravated by having my threshold crossed without restraint, I tilted my head back for a moment and exhaled harshly. [Server] I¡¯m sleepy: You¡¯re messing with me right now? [Server] Yoo Chae: No? I¡¯m not kidding, come out of that guild quickly [Server] I¡¯m sleepy: Even if I leave here, do you think I¡¯ll go back to Early Evening?; [Server] Yoo Chae: That¡¯s okay because Hyung QvQ you already know what will happen if you do haha [Server] Yoo Chae: I¡¯ll try to appeal to you again!! ¡°Ha¡­¡­¡± Biting my lip and lowering my head, I wrote down the question I wanted to ask on the loudspeaker. [Server] I¡¯m sleepy: Where do you live? ¡ª TL Notes: Melon musk meme - It''s a old meme I do believe. haha So, the function of Whisper is that You can talk to them, without having a connection to them like a guild, but if you can change the settings of Whisper to not accept any messages from strangers. (But so far I think they only use whisper, instead of Friend. SO I think it can be used for Friend to.) -- CH 11 Zenoris Player Forum: [Rotel] Yesterday¡¯s Zenorisian Love and War [Comments 30] Posted by: Mincho taste good | Views: 3,252 Recommended: 12 All the guys who played the game at 8 o¡¯clock yesterday are all gone. Hahahaha Early Evening was the one who started the fight unreasonably. (Image file) Fuck lolololol Really Ignorant and the way they lead lolololol The funny thing is that Early Evening and One Heart One Will are in an alliance with each other ?? Why did these bastards suddenly rush out like a sergeant who didn¡¯t wake up during dinner time? (Image file) (Image file) Did you see the Yoo Chae server chat? LOL That¡¯s why hahahaha (Image file) (Image file) Damn it, I wonder who that Sleepy Hyung is, everyone keep a note of that guy in your heads.

(Image file) I don¡¯t know what happened so I¡¯m in the dark, sorry, I was hunting. I hate it when I saw everyone talking about it ??; (Image file) It looks like the deep-seated newbie was trying to compromise using server chat lol, but that newbie was pissed off. (Image file) Hahahaha But Yoo Chae immediately rejected it hahaha I think the progress went too fast lol Last but not least, there was no other server chat, but anyway, it was like a fucking dog fight. So, it¡¯s roughly because of the preliminary round that is around the corner, it seems that Early Evening and One Heart One Will is fighting over a newbie lol Rumor has it that he was kicked out of the One Heart One Will Guild, but I can¡¯t confirm that. oo but it¡¯s a shame that he¡¯s leaving One Heart One Will ?? I¡¯m sleepy < If you accept this person to join the guild, you¡¯ll get beaten up by Early Evening, so be careful hahaha Three-line summary 1. Yoo Chae is being Yoo Chae 2.

That¡¯s shame on Early Evening ?? Even calling it a guild made up of only scumbags and gambler bastards, it¡¯s absurd. ?

Zeno, who is RP, can¡¯t; Let¡¯s compare Eos with RP LV70. dfafda [Like 0 | Dislike 0] Let¡¯s be honest. The Guild war system is really useless. Please, just get rid of it. If you hit another guild for something to brag about, you might be advertising a local roommate, and fighting between guilds is enough in the preliminary round. And no matter what, isn¡¯t it that only the large guilds have an advantage? Please get rid of it. ? It¡¯s true, but if I tell you about it later, will the management see it? lol ? It¡¯s good idea that a preliminary round is enough. There are a lot of things that are advantageous to the guild besides the war, do a lot of people already know that? People who spend a lot of money on stagnant games are here too haha ? Yeah, if you¡¯re envious, you¡¯re also going to throw money into the game~ Anyway, this kind of bullshit is always just beggars hehehe ?

That¡¯s the whole thing. *** ¡°Customer number 17, the set you ordered has arrived.¡± When I took the tray with the hamburger set at the counter and went up to the second floor of the store, Kim Dae-Seok, who was sitting opposite me, whistled, and poured French fries on the tray. ¡°No, it¡¯s been a while since I came here, so what does a hamburger taste like? Let¡¯s eat beef or something like that.¡± ¡°A hamburger is enough.¡± In response to Kim Dae-seok¡¯s words, I opened the hamburger package and took a bite. The slightly salty sauce and the taste of the patty spread throughout my mouth. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, though.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not your problem, what are you sorry for? I¡¯m fine.¡± Yesterday, with the rejection of the guild war with Early Evening, I finally got out of the guild . First I told them that I would go because I felt guilty of staying in the guild because I didn¡¯t want to drag them into a war because of me. Unyum was deeply sorry for forcing me to leave. And he has been sending out additional friend messages asking if I needed help with anything. He was a good person in many ways. ¡®In contrast, this bastard, Yoo Chae is...¡¯ As I remembered the server chat I had with him, I only sighed. Kim Dae-seok opened his mouth, noticing me as I took a deep breath without eating the hamburger. ¡°Hey, are you really okay?¡± ¡°What else would be wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that dogs are like that. What are you going to do now?¡± ¡°I have to give up.¡± A guild was needed to quickly finish the raid quest and reach the max level, but that doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t reach the max level without a guild. Of course, it will take a little longer, but... I can¡¯t help it. ¡°It¡¯s not like the situation is going to go away just by giving up on joining guilds. I sent you the link earlier. Did you see it? Your username became popular in the Forums.¡± ¡°Um, I saw it.¡± I looked, but nothing really affected me. There was nothing unfair about the comments posted as they knew who did the bullshit. Kim Dae-seok shook his head at my sarcastic attitude and began to put the hamburger into his mouth militantly. After eating a large hamburger in less than two minutes, he reached for some fries. ¡°There¡¯s going to be a lot of fucking bastards coming to see you, right? Wouldn¡¯t it be better to just open a new account?¡± ¡°In that case, I should just throw it away and do something else. Do you know how much I have done and to just throw it away after ten days of hard work?¡± ¡°Hmm, it is¡­ It¡¯s amazing to reach lvl 200 in ten days.¡± ¡°Even if I were to hold it in, the bastard who caused the problem should be the one to hold it in. Anyway, stop making weird noises and eat quietly.¡± Kim Dae-seok, who had lost his appetite at my words, quietly shoved French fries into his mouth. Kim Dae-seok, who participated in a local basketball tournament in high school, was quite tall and large, so he ate a huge amount. I also ate the hamburger I had in my hand and thought while biting the straw in the Coke on my lips. Nurture a new account. Just thinking about it makes my chest tight and stuffy. It¡¯s really terrifying to see your ten days of efforts of reaching level 200 turn into rubbish. Above all else, it was someone else¡¯s fault, but I didn¡¯t want to run away. My pride wouldn¡¯t allow it. ¡®Even if there are a few bastards who recognize my username and become aggressive, it won¡¯t last long.¡¯ If another incident happens like this, it will be buried soon. So, don¡¯t do that again. After meeting with Kim Dae-seok and returning home, I took a shower and then turned on the computer. When I connected by clicking the Zenoris icon, a screen appeared with the character standing still just before entering the channel. ¡°It¡¯s a new account¡­¡­¡± When I was eating hamburgers earlier, I firmly thought that there would be nothing new to grow, but it was also true that I was worried about entering the game. Growing up slowly without being disturbed by anyone with another account? Of course, it¡¯s good. It¡¯s good, but it was also true that a lot of regrets remained on the ¡®I¡¯m Sleepy¡¯ account. It was the first account I raised with the intention of wanting to try an RPG game after a long time, so I felt a lot of affection for it. It¡¯s so sad that I have to end it because of this issue. ¡°Haa¡­¡­¡± After squeezing my sore eyes tightly and arguing, I finally pressed the start button, instead of logging out. Yeah, let¡¯s do what I want. I¡¯m going to have to shoot out all the annoying bastards as soon as possible. The location was in the middle of the central city because I left the guild yesterday and turned it off immediately. I turned off the event page and reward message that popped up and looked at the chat window. [All] Orubi: hahahahahaha [All] Orubi: Friend, have you left the guild already? [All] Air Guys: Could you please tell me the skill tree to being a comedian here?? [All] Eongmwoeongmwo: Ugh hahaha I¡¯m envious of you [All] Limbom: Forum??People [All] Sweetic: @@@ Banned 5 turns / Waiting in the front yard / Current / Person / Recruitment of 3 people / Cut @@ [All] Blackshire: Buy a term book 0.5 per 1 book, 200 ginseng ear [All] Given : We are looking for cute new recruits for the friendship guild ! Newbie welcome! Friendship! >< Fortunately, no one recognized me and talked about it or quarreled with me. Looking back, this would be natural. Most of the users will laugh at what happened yesterday, and only some of them will talk to me. Feeling relieved, I turned on the inventory. I must quickly move to the battle area. I tore the scroll that could be moved directly to the desired area and arrived in the southern volcanic zone. In front of the restricted area where the Red Dragon Raid takes place, it was crowded with users who came first. It was at that time that he was about to move towards the red shining rock to participate in the raid. [Yoo Chae: Hyung!] [Yoo Chae: Hello haha] Beam, Beam. A message came from an unexpected person with a lively message sound. Astonished and hastily opened the window of my friend, I found the nickname and frowned. ¡°What the fuck?¡± Why is this bastard in my friend¡¯s list? CH 12 It was a violent sound that could not be heard as flesh collided flesh. Then, Seon-woo recovered his leg and immediately began to use his powers. He was also an expert at using his body as an S-class Awakener, but he realized something after bumping into Do-jin. Physically, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to beat him. Apparently, Do-jin¡¯s abilities were related to his body. So, there was no hesitation in using his powers. Drops of water spinning sharply were shot at him like bullets, but when he swung his fist hard again, they exploded as if they were being swept away. Meanwhile, the driver took Hyeon-woo and Kero out of the car and evacuated them outside. ¡®I know it wasn¡¯t okay for me to be attacked in the car.¡¯ Spontaneously, Hyeon-woo saw the two of them fighting with his own eyes. ¡®Well?¡¯ Hyeon-woo, who naturally judged the situation, stopped moving for a while. The man holding on to Seon-woo was stronger than he thought. ¡®During the time I have stayed on Earth, it seems that I have been exposed to a lot of the world through the media.¡¯ ¡®In the process, I came to know more about Seon-woo, and he did say that he was one of the strongest in the world.¡¯ Naturally, it also meant that he was the strongest in Korea. But that man looked stronger than Seon-woo. However, he did not show any intention of harming Seon-woo. So, it was difficult for the man to move right away, without harming him. Suddenly, Hyeon-woo made eye contact with the man. They were sharp but cool eyes. ¡®It was the man I saw in the department store. But I think I have seen him before.¡¯ Hyeon-woo tried to look through his memory to find where he had seen him before. There weren¡¯t many people that he had met in his life. He was only fifteen when he was sent to the Demon Realm, and he had no choice but to live in the Demon Realm. So, his memories before going to the Demon Realm were not that clear. Most of his remaining memories were of Seon-woo. ¡®So where did you get those eyes?¡¯ Hyeon-woo paused a bit and finally remembered. ¡°Han Ye-won.¡± Hyeon-woo remembered a person who had been buried in the back of his memory for a long time. Han Ye-won, a girl who was three years older than Hyeon-woo. A sophomore in high school that cared a lot about others ahead of herself, even in a difficult situation. She especially tried to take care of Hyeon-woo, who was the youngest. As soon as Hyeon-woo uttered her name, Do-jin, who was rushing like a madman, stood tall on the spot. Because of that, Seon-woo¡¯s attack hit him, but he shouted without regard for it. ¡°Han Ye-won, do you know Ye-won?¡± The words continued quickly. ¡°She has short hair, and her hair is lighter than other people. Her height is about 160 cm. Her personality is very bright and cheerful, and she likes to help others. She was eighteen years old at the time of her disappearance.¡± As the atmosphere strangely changed, Seon-woo lowered his raised hand, unable to attack. Do-jin stood there and shouted with an expression of wanting to really find out what had happened to her. ¡°That child is also a First-Generation missing person!¡± ¡®I know. Remembering these memories that had been buried all along makes my head ache.¡¯ Hyeon-woo was reminded of the terrible circumstances he had been put through at that time. Ye-won was a very kind person. But the Demon Realm was not a place where she could survive just because she was kind. She had to have a knack for combat and venom to survive. She did, but before a year had passed, she was killed in a reckless battle. He could still remember it even now. ¡®I have an oppa.¡¯ The last person to see her was Hyeon-woo and he even watched her die. It was because he was the person who was closest to Ye-won. ¡®He looks cold on the outside, but he¡¯s actually a good guy. I have to take care of him.¡¯ Ye-won vomited blood and wept bitterly. ¡®I can¡¯t protect you now. Oppa, Do-jin oppa.¡¯ Ye-won, who always tried to look strong, cried like a child. ¡®It hurts, it hurts a lot.¡¯ She didn¡¯t want to cry until she got her brother back. So, she clenched her teeth and endured it. Even Hyeon-woo was shaken at the end of Ye-won. He couldn¡¯t help but be shaken. Ye-won, who had died, was pitiful and Hyeon-woo was afraid that he would become like that too. He just wanted to cry too. ¡®It¡¯s alright, Ye-won. I¡¯m here.¡¯ He lied with his words. He tried to deceive her with his voice and pretended to be Ye-won¡¯s older brother. Perhaps the dying Ye-won would have already known it was him. It was all because of Hyeon-woo¡¯s clumsy consideration. Still, Ye-won smiled and said one last time. ¡®Oppa. Thanks.¡¯ That was the end of Ye-won. It felt like his stomach was going to explode. The deaths he had been trying to forget the whole time, shook Hyeon-woo¡¯s heart. He pressed his hand against his trembling chest and struggled to endure it. He did not want to show the suffering of the past in front of Seon-woo. ¡®Did he notice him?¡¯ Seon-woo said firmly. ¡°Hyung, ignore it.¡± Without thinking much. Seon-woo, whom Hyeon-woo knew, was a very friendly child, so he shook his head. It was okay for him to be in pain. Now that he met Seon-woo, he would endure this much. ¡°No, I know. I know Han Ye-won.¡± If so, that man must have been with that person at least. Han Do-jin. Han Ye-won¡¯s only one oppa. ¡°Then you would be Do-jin.¡± ¡°...That¡¯s right.¡± Do-jin¡¯s lips trembled. He hesitated several times, hesitated, and then opened his mouth. ¡°Ye-won, what happened to Ye-won?¡± ¡®He looks cold on the outside, but in reality he is a good person.¡¯ He remembered the story Ye-won had told him. Hyeon-woo looked carefully at Do-jin¡¯s face. His handsome face, like a man, looked cold at first glance because of his eyes, but his eyes were different. The black eyes swaying under the dim light looked so deep and beautiful. Hyeon-woo took a deep breath. ¡°Han Ye-won¡­ My younger sister.¡± He paused for a moment. ¡°She¡¯s dead.¡± Do-jin¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°I am the only First-Generation Awakened to return alive. The others are all dead.¡± There was some silence for a moment. Tears welled up in Do-jin¡¯s eyes, and then immediately fell to the floor. The soil on the floor soaked up the water and dyed it a dark color. ¡°Ugh.¡± A groan escaped Do-jin¡¯s mouth. Was it sad to hear the cry of an animal that had lost its young? The corners of Hyeon-woo¡¯s eyes looking at him trembled. ¡°Uh-a-ah!¡± Do-jin, who collapsed on the spot, smashed the ground with his fist and wept. The tears didn¡¯t stop. His parents hated Do-jin from an early age because he stuttered his words. The stuttering, stupid child was dismissed and abused because he was not their child. However, his three-year-old younger sister did not abandon Do-jin. She always smiled and stayed by his side. ¡®Oppa!¡¯ She was a bright and lovely child. So, he wanted to protect her. He wanted to protect her, but he couldn¡¯t. One day, 10,000 people disappeared from Korea. Among them was Do-jin¡¯s beloved sister, Ye-won. From the moment Ye-won disappeared, Do-jin¡¯s world became hell. Even in that situation he struggled to get himself to stand up again. Because he had to find Ye-won. From that day on, he started working by selling items. He traveled all over the country to find his sister, gathering information. But it wasn¡¯t easy. Around that time, 100,000 people disappeared again, and the portal opened. The world was a mess, but Do-jin did not give up and moved on. And then, some of the Second-Generation missing persons returned as saviors. ¡®You can come back.¡¯ Hope had arisen. His hope became the driving force behind Do-jin. It made him continue searching for her again. So, at some point, he was awakened. He gained strength, and he also fixed his stuttering. It seemed that he could find happiness just by finding his younger sister. Being Awakened made it much easier to gather information. It was easy, but there was a clear limit to what individuals could collect. So, a guild was set up. The name was Peace Guild. Being the Guild Leader made it easier to gather information, but he still couldn¡¯t find Ye-won with that. It was because the First-Generation missing people did not reappear in the first place. Some analysts have talked about it. Maybe the first 10,000 people who disappeared were experiments that were perished due to bad luck. Because as the generations went on, the missing people returned more quickly, and more survived. The first generation was a throwaway. That was the conclusion of others. Still, he did not want to give up, so he continued to pursue the information, and finally found the information of the First-Generation missing person. There was a First-Generation missing person who had returned. ¡®Let¡¯s join hands together.¡¯ He did think it was a bad thing to combine forces with him, but he still took his hand. The Seon-Hyeon Guild, who had the First-Generation missing person, refused to show him, so he made dozens of requests to visit him, but all were rejected. ¡®Just hold onto Ji Seon-woo¡¯s ankle. I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡¯ Was what Ga-jun said. However, Ga-jun failed, and Do-jin became more desperate. He was afraid he would never see the First-Generation missing person again. Because, once they entered the guild headquarters, meeting the First-Generation missing person would be like picking a star in the sky. So, he hurried to find them and came this far. He came. The news he found out was not good news. ¡®My beloved sister, my precious being, had died.¡¯ Do-jin lost control all over his body. He didn¡¯t know what to do with himself now. ¡®Is there any reason to live?¡¯ He didn¡¯t know. Do-jin blankly looked down at the floor. Darker thoughts began to fill his mind. ¡®I¡¯d rather end this.¡¯ He pulled out a weapon that he hadn¡¯t taken out the whole time. Kara. The cursed dagger he obtained from a dungeon. A dagger with a longer blade than normal rotated in Do-jin¡¯s hand. Then, the dagger held in reverse moved straight towards the target. That target was himself. CH 13 Kwajik. Do-jin lowered his dagger in an instant. However, he did not feel any pain. The dagger pierced because it wasn¡¯t his body. He hurriedly withdrew, but it was too late. Confused, Do-jin raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him. The First-Generation missing person, whose name he did not know yet, was standing right in front of him and frowned. A dagger blade was held in his hand. ¡°Hyung!¡± Seon-woo rushed in panic, and then Do-jin moved quickly. ¡°What, what are you doing!¡± Carefully, he opened the hand holding the blade of the dagger. His hands were supposed to tremble in this situation. Kara is cursed, sharp and hard above all else. Anything could be cut easily. It was natural to be worried as someone, who didn¡¯t have any strength, was holding it with their bare hands. Do-jin clenched his teeth and fully extended Hyeon-woo¡¯s hands. But it was weird. His hands, which were supposed to be covered in blood, were perfectly fine. Not a single scratch was seen. ¡°Why?¡± While muttering blankly, the outstretched hand was recovered. Then, Seon-woo, who ran, grabbed his hand again and spread it out. ¡°Hyung, your hand!¡± ¡°My hands are fine. I guess he was out of control when he heard the news. He didn¡¯t get hurt.¡± ¡®No, that¡¯s not possible.¡¯ Do-jin stared blankly at his dagger, then drew on his own hand with it. When he drew with his force, a wound was formed, and red blood flowed. The dagger was functioning normally. ¡°But what just happened now?¡± It was something that couldn¡¯t be figured out. He mindlessly stared at the flowing blood, and suddenly something of a soft skin touched him. Adjusting his gaze, he saw the First-Generation missing person putting his hand on his cheek. And then he pinched his cheek. He didn¡¯t seem to have any strength, but it hurt quite a bit. ¡°Your skin is so firm that it doesn¡¯t pull well. What were you trying to do?¡± When asked, Do-jin bit his lips. ¡°Hyung!¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, wait a minute.¡± ¡°It¡¯s dangerous.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t look that dangerous. Look, you¡¯re still here.¡± Hyeon-woo pulled Do-jin¡¯s cheek again and released it. Then he asked again. ¡°What were you going to do?¡± Do-jin couldn¡¯t even open his mouth. He wanted to die. But it only felt difficult to say those words. ¡°Do you think Ye-won would be happy to see this?¡± No, no. If it was Ye-won, that kind child would cry when she saw this. She would ask him why her Oppa didn¡¯t spare his own body and why he did such a thing. ¡°No, she wouldn¡¯t.¡± ¡°Then why did you do that?¡± Do-jin lowered his eyes at the questioning. The one right in front was not Ye-won. Yet, strangely, there was no feeling of rejection. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be apologizing to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, though.¡± As he apologized again, his eyes, which looked at him, slowly looked down. ¡°Don¡¯t die.¡± At those words, the corners of his eyes became hot again. While tolerating his tears, Do-jin asked him. ¡°Your name, I want to know your name.¡± ¡°Hyeon-woo, Ji Hyeon-woo.¡± ¡°Hyeon-woo nim.¡± ¡°Just call me Hyeon-woo.¡± ¡°Hyeon-woo.¡± When Do-jin called his name, Hyeon-woo patted his head as if he did a good job. It seemed that his heart had calmed down for a while. Do-jin didn¡¯t know why though. ¡°Hyung, come here.¡± Seon-woo, who had been staring at him from the side, quickly grabbed Hyeon-woo and pulled him towards himself. ¡°Then, is the business over now?¡± ¡®Is it over? I did find out what happened to my sister.¡¯ ¡®Yeah, you are right, now that everything is over.¡¯ However, Do-jin could not easily answer a ¡®yes¡¯. Do-jin already heard that she was dead, but he still had regrets. ¡°Not yet.¡± At those words, Seon-woo¡¯s expression darkened. But Do-jin did not back down. ¡°Hyeon-woo, can I follow you?¡± He wanted to hear about Ye-won¡¯s story. He thought about what happened when he only heard that she was dead, but he also realized that it wasn¡¯t just that happened to her and there was more to it. He has not yet found a body, nor has he been able to find out what happened. Do-jin made up his mind. ¡°I will do anything. So please let me follow you.¡± ¡°What kind of bullshit is this? Aren¡¯t you also the Guild Leader of a guild? Do you think that would be possible?¡± Seon-woo, who intervened in the middle, looked at Do-jin with an absurd expression. ¡°Then, I will quit being the Guild Leader.¡± ¡°Are you crazy?¡± ¡°I just have to hand over the guild to the Deputy Guild Leader.¡± ¡°Correct that phrase. Did you lose your mind?¡± It was not unreasonable for Seon-woo to say that. He was about to give up the Guild Leader¡¯s position in the Peace Guild, which was in the top 5. It was the same as saying that ¡®I would throw away everything I have now.¡¯ However, it was also understandable. If it was the same situation, Seon-woo would have done the same. ¡°Please let me.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to quit being the Guild Leader. If you come here from time to time, I will tell you her story.¡± Hyeon-woo suggested a reasonable alternative. ¡°But.¡± ¡°I keep my promises.¡± ¡°Not because of that, it¡¯s because I was worried.¡± ¡°What?¡± At that, Do-jin looked at Hyeon-woo¡¯s hand. It was the hand that held the blade of the dagger earlier. ¡°What if something like this happens again in the future?¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Hyeon-woo hid his hand behind his back with an awkward expression. ¡°If it happens again, I will just turn it around, like I did now.¡± Seon-woo stared at Hyeon-woo like Do-jin did. ¡°Why did you do such a dangerous thing, Hyung?¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t dangerous.¡± That was true. Even if it was the most dangerous weapon, there was no way a strong person like Hyeon-woo could get hurt by such a thing. However, neither Seon-woo nor Do-jin was unaware of that fact. So, it was natural to worry. ¡°It was dangerous.¡± ¡°It was dangerous, Hyung.¡± Do-jin and Seon-woo spoke together as if they had made a promise. ¡°Because I¡¯m not¡­¡± He tried to deny it, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller. He had the confidence to defeat both of them with his own strength, but he didn¡¯t know why his voice shrank so much. As he was able to turn his head away from their eyes, he saw Kero looking up with a subtle face. ¡°What.¡± Looking at Kero wearing such a tired expression, he grabbed Kero and pulled his body with his hands violently to relieve his anger. ¡°Wang.¡± Kero remained calm, entrusting himself to Hyeon-woo¡¯s hands. ¡®I¡¯m glad that I have a small body or else, I would have got hit.¡¯ ¡°Let¡¯s go back now, Hyung.¡± Seon-woo looked at Hyeon-woo, who was just escaping from reality, and held out his hand with softened eyes. And just around that time, Chan-young arrived in the area. ¡°Guild leader?¡± Chan-young, who arrived late, saw Do-jin standing next to him, with a wary expression on his face. Seon-woo then briefly explained the situation to him. ¡°I am the Guild Leader of the Peace Guild.¡± It was so brief that it was impossible to understand what was going on. ¡°Yeah?¡± ¡®Why is the Guild Leader of the Peace Guild here? I wonder if he was also targeting the First-Generation missing people, but his attitude is too docile for that to happen.¡¯ While Chan-young was wondering what had happened, Seon-woo put Hyeon-woo back in the car. Then he said to Chan-young. ¡°Oh, do you remember the chicken restaurant we went to last time?¡± ¡°The place you stopped by sometimes? Yes, I remember.¡± ¡°Bring only three chickens from there. Soy sauce, seasoning, fried.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°ASAP.¡± Having said those words behind, Seon-woo gracefully got into the car. Meanwhile, Do-jin¡¯s gaze was fixed on Hyeon-woo the whole time. So, Seon-woo urged the driver. ¡°Let¡¯s leave quickly.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The driver got back into the driver¡¯s seat and grabbed the steering wheel. However, just as they were about to leave, they saw several people standing in the way. While they were delayed for a while because of Do-jin, others seemed to have caught up. Seon-woo was annoyed and ruffled his bangs. ¡°This is bothering me.¡± Seon-woo had to get out of the car again. As soon as he came out, clicking his tongue, Chan-young quickly came to his side and walked alongside him. He decided that it was better to join Seon-woo than to protect Hyeon-woo now. Because his abilities were compatible with Seon-woo. ¡°The guild members will arrive soon.¡± ¡°How long will it take?¡± ¡°Most likely within 5 to 10 minutes.¡± That should be enough time to hold out those people. ¡°Keep it.¡± Seon-woo pointed to his car with his chin as he passed by the still standing Do-jin. With that being said, Do-jin quietly moved and stood next to the car. ¡°Hey.¡± Looking at Seon-woo like that, Ga-jun waved his hand. Standing next to him was a young man with a soft impression, his hair close to blonde, and a woman with a cool-looking appearance. It was Hye-sun and Ja-yun, the guild leaders of other guilds who were S-class awakeners. It was Hye-sun who spoke first. ¡°We¡¯ll see each other again soon.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother.¡± Seon-woo answered with a cold face. Then, Ga-jun shrugged his shoulders and spoke. ¡°I guess it can¡¯t be helped. I can¡¯t miss this great opportunity.¡± The plan to do next was to take time and play along. When you get chances, you have to hit more on the spot. If Seon-woo also had an idea of what to do, he would change the place where Hyeon-woo stayed after this. And he would set his guards up even more thoroughly. So, it was right to move now. ¡°You know I can¡¯t give it to you, right? ¡°I know. You¡¯re not fighting alone, are you?¡± Having himself suddenly surrounded, Seon-woo looked at the three people and snorted. ¡°Do you really think you would win if you guys gathered together? ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we at least try when we have the chance?¡± While saying that, he had a different thought in his mind. It was probably difficult for him. No matter how superior they are in numbers, the opponent was the same S-Class Awakener. It was close to impossible to defeat him within a short time. ¡®It¡¯s even during the day, so why didn¡¯t you choose another method to end this quickly?¡¯ CH 14 When all the party members gathered at the entrance of the dungeon, a system window automatically popped up. It was a dungeon difficulty selection window. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: What should we choose? [Party] Suwon Special City: Hell ?? [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Hell is the classic one; There were three levels of difficulty in Keyrant Dungeon: Normal, Hard, and Hell. Hell was the most difficult and Normal was the easiest, but it was true that Normal was still burdensome for beginners. ¡®Wait. You want to go with Hell?¡¯ Do these people know that I¡¯m a beginner? Do I have to talk about it now? It was at that time when I just placed my hands on the keyboard to chat. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: There are two newbies you know [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Hell sounds kinda difficult [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Normal? Cotton Candy Fox chatted in a very different tone from when she asked me if she could call me Oppa. ¡°Aren¡¯t they a Netkama? [1]¡± Since I have played various kinds of games for a long time, I have met quite a few female users who enjoy the game. What I learned while doing this is that most of the female users don¡¯t chat things like ¡®Oppa, I¡¯m scared~¡¯ or ¡®I can do this>.<¡®. No, of course, there are some people who do. However, the person who pretended to be a woman and approached them to eat support or wealth was overwhelmingly likely to be a man. I¡¯ve often seen these kinds of cases happening around me. So, I thought that the Cotton Candy Fox was definitely a male bastard doing a netkama scheme. I¡¯m sure that I may be wrong, and it was too soon to judge what¡¯s going on. [Party] Suwon Special City: ???? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ?? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I don¡¯t even want to battle in that mode (normal mode) [Party] Suwon Special City: Normal then?? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Ha¡­ Does it have to be Normal mode? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: If you don¡¯t want to do it, don¡¯t do it and log off ^^ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Let¡¯s start at 8 O¡¯clock [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Hahahahahahahahaha [Party] Suwon Special City: Hahahaha [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: For heaven¡¯s sake, it¡¯s the same, fox.. That must have felt so fucked up. However, the difficulty was set to Normal, so I already selected the mode and entered. Cotton Candy Fox, after seeing all the nonsensical words of Bumble Wing Wing, selected the same and immediately pressed the enter button. Soon the screen turned black, and the inside of the dungeon appeared. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa ¡°¡­¡­¡± Calling me oppa. Goosebumps appeared all over my body. Regardless of Cotton Candy Fox¡¯s gender, it was too bothersome for a stranger to call me ¡®oppa¡¯. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Have you ever seen anything related to attacking strategy for this dungeon? O.O [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Yeah, I¡¯ve seen a few posts and videos a few times [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Let¡¯s talk comfortably~>_< [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: heh.. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s okay When I refused with the utmost courtesy, Cotton Candy Fox bursts into tears, this time with a burst of emotion. A sound effect of ¡®hiing~¡¯ was also heard. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s Normal, so it shouldn¡¯t be too difficult! [Party] Suwon Special City: oo Avoiding attacks is still important [Party] Suwon Special City: Since you already know the strategy and the attacks, you are good enough [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: okok Since I¡¯m a newbie, the party members are probably a bit anxious and feel uneasy too. I know that the Normal route I saw in the video didn¡¯t have a lot of damage deals, so if I just focus, I¡¯ll be fine. With the mindset of dying as little as possible, I followed the party members deeper inside the dungeon. Before long, gigantic monsters that looked like zombies came rushing in. Dozens of monsters like this came rushing in until we reached the boss room. There were so many numbers that it was difficult to save the party members if they were to die even once. I quickly pulled the character back and lifted the staff. Even so, if you are crowded, you can get that much splash damage[2], so it was good for a wizard with a lot of wide area skills to put a deal. Tanker What Do You Soy Milk blocked the monsters in front. The Warlord, Suwon Special City, wielded dual swords, and the Archer, Let¡¯s Go Witcher, fired a poisoned arrow. As I watched them, I started charging the easiest attack fireball, and found that the cast speed suddenly increased. Not only casting speed, but also mana recovery and damage? ¡®Crazy.¡¯ So, this is what it feels like to be buffed. This is the first time I¡¯ve actually been buffed by a Buffer, and I really liked it. Buffer was one of the few jobs with as few users since they had to be healer first, so it was not easy to meet them. My likeability towards Cotton Candy Fox, who was dungeon crawking, increased slightly. Thanks to this, I finished charging the skill faster than usual, so I dropped the fireball right at the center of the monsters. Whoa! With a roar, the blood of the monsters hit by the fireball fell in half. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: That was so Cool! >¿Ú<)/ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: How was the fox¡¯s buff? ??? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: good It was true that it was good, so when I answered truthfully, the character Cotton Candy Fox, who was standing by the rear while giving buff, hopped up and down. [Party] Suwon Special City: Hey there haha [Party] Suwon Special City: Why didn¡¯t I get buffs? damn.. [Party] Suwon Special City: It seems like I will fall behind soon [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: you were buffing? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: damn, I didn¡¯t even get a buff, so I thought I was just playing [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ?? the buff is only being made for sleepy-nim~ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: I am happy with the heal you gave me lol [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ;; What, was I the only one getting it? It was only then that I realized that only my character was fully surrounded with twinkling effects. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: It seems that since I¡¯m a beginner, I didn¡¯t do much damage [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Sori Sori I was in the middle of dealing with a crowd of monsters, and while charging a Thunder that¡¯s as useful as a fireball along with chatting, Cotton Candy Fox intervened in consternation. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: No, please!!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s not like that.?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: there¡¯s no one else I could use it on, other than Sleepy-oppa [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: That¡¯s why I only buffed oppa ??? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Absolutely not meant like that [Party] Suwon Special City: hahahahaha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Oh, haha this is hilarious ha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim noticed pretty quickly lol [Party] Suwon Special City: really hahahahahaha [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: hahahahahaha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Okey fox-nim ? Everyone!! ?? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: hahahahahaha Fortunately, everyone passed it off lightly as a joke. It was at that moment that I was relieved enough to use my skills again. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah What Do You Soy Milk, who was standing stiff, was attacked by a monster and flew backwards. Above the character who collapsed on the floor with all the blood had drained out, the health bar turned black. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah ha ha ha ha [Party] Suwon Special City: Hey, why did you die here?;; [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: You¡¯re stupid.. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: No Fuck [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Stop sending me messages fox-nim [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: it keeps covering the screen ah haha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I¡¯m really sorry for suddenly dying [Party] Suwon Special City: ? LOL [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ?? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ??I knew she¡¯d be pissed off haha When I attacked something, Cotton Candy Fox stayed behind me. The tank died, but the number of surviving monsters was small, so we were able to clean it up without any major problems. What Do You Soy Milk, who died alone, expressed emotions in his dead state. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Spare me!! Fuck ?? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: But hey, that was crazy [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: looks like Fox-nim had to keep buffing [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: You should be busier than us ?? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: I heard that fox was no different lol [Party] Suwon Special City: Really, why is that bastard the only one receiving? He deserves to die lol [Party] Let''s go witcher: did you notice the difference in operation between him and you? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: No, it¡¯s not as easy as you say [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Mental attack is coming ?? You have to deal with this too, you know Fuck Finally, Cotton Candy Fox increased their stamina and mana recovery speed. The buffs received from Cotton Candy Fox reached a great height, and What Do You Soy Milk, who was lying down, continued to chat. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Stop talking and let¡¯s go [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ???? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Guys, I¡¯m still here¡­ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ok ok?? [Party] Suwon Special City: Being normal with skills is okay too [Party] Suwon Special City: Since you¡¯re dead and you don¡¯t have to be a tanker, isn¡¯t it easier for you now? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Oh you bastards [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Tsk¡ªHow could you say that to me?? Fuck hahahahaha I felt so sorry for What Do You Soymilk, who was heartlessly abandoned after being teased by Cotton Candy Fox. Cotton Candy Fox and the other party members really got themselves together. Sympathetic, I approached What Do You Soy Milk lying on the cold floor and pressed the button. He, who barely survived with my help, said while crying: [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ?????? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Are you an angel????? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Thank you ???? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: hahahaha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ???? In return [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Please Have this? What Do You Soymilk posted a small soymilk on the trading window. When I hover the mouse cursor over the item, the information [Creator: What Do You Soy Milk] appeared. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: haha thanks.. Anyway, food items had a little bit of a buff effect, so there was nothing bad about receiving them. When I smiled and said thank you, Cotton Candy Fox, who had been away from me, hurriedly rushed to me and clung to me. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy oppa saved you? ?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I am not going to let you take away him! Tankers should just die! ??? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: But why are you giving something to him? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Why are you saying thank you to that guy? ?? Whoa, that¡¯s noisy. Even though the letters were just floating on the screen, it somehow made my ears hurt. I roughly replied with annoyance. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s not a big deal [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Haha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim¡¯s Secret¡îMilk with me [Party] Cotton Candy Fox:? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: hahahahahahahahahaha [Party] Suwon Special City: Kill the Master? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Probably shouldn¡¯t, I¡¯m still not in my right mind [Party] Let''s go witcher: hahahahahaha ¡°Hung-ah¡­¡­¡± I couldn¡¯t just leave the chats alone since the second part of the game was about to start, so I exhaled wearily and tapped the keyboard to do something about this. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Let¡¯s stop this and go to the next room.. Note: [1] Netkama - Catfisher [2] Splash Damage: It means the damage deal to all enemies and monsters within a certain range, including the point from where the skill is hit. CH 15 It was not a dungeon in which the boss room was really far away, but it was difficult to break through quickly as the number of monsters pouring out on each path kept increasing. A wolf-type monster that was hard to kill because of its fast movement speed and high defense appeared this time. They came from all directions, so it was quite difficult to find a place to shoot the damage deal. Just as he was avoiding the attacks of the monsters with the evasion skill and poured out the skills that cast relatively quickly, someone suddenly clung to him. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Kyaaa, I¡¯m scared!!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It hurts so much, please help me ???!!! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Before I could do anything, I saw that it was Cotton Candy Fox getting beaten by a monster and had half of her blood drained. As the long-distance dealers, the Witcher and I were running around and putting damage deals in, the Buffer Cotton Candy Fox and Healer Bee Buzzing were forced to dodge the attacks and assist. Cotton Candy Fox was putting in heals in between and was doing well compared to the buzzing bee, but barely managed to escape with 20% of her remaining blood. So, it seems like she was hit on purpose. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Please catch it quickly T-T [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox is very scared~;_; ¡°Huh¡­¡­¡­¡± At the same time as chatting like a beggar, the buffs came in. I killed the monster that followed Cotton Candy Fox with my head facing downwards. That way, I won¡¯t see those horrible chats anymore. [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Everything is going well [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: But aren¡¯t the buffs being used too often? ?? ?? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Uh-huh [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Then the attack speed buff wouldn¡¯t hold on forever _ _ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Really ? ? [Party] Suwon Special City: Please be careful [Party] Suwon Special City: I need a recovery buff too Fuck The number of overlapping buffs is at most three, and the duration is short, so the buffer had to cycle through the buffs suitable for each job group without a break. At the words of the Witcher, Cotton Candy Fox used an additional buff skill. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ^^ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ha sweet.. [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: sweet.. heh [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: eh, let¡¯s go Fuck ??? [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: You¡¯re really cool [Party] Suwon Special City: Hold your head high;; It was a chatting conversation that only made me give a sigh of relief, but what was surprising was the fact that the number of monsters decreased rapidly as each of them did their job thoroughly while laughing and chatting like this. ¡®No matter how you look at it, it looks like this is a sidekick party¡­¡­¡­¡¯ Compared to others who got along for getting the quest reward or were wearing equipment that was relatively cheap, their understanding of the game and skills were far superior. For a party who are together for the first time, there were not one or two suspicious parts. It is clear that most of the people here are rich, considering that the amount of damage is not empty even while actively using the control to avoid attacks or chatting. Did you come here to help Cotton Candy Fox, who isn¡¯t at full level like me? But anyway, if you¡¯re going to do a raid dungeon, wouldn¡¯t you use a secondary dungeon? That was weird too. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy oppa, Well done! >_< [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Is it your first time here? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s amazing that you didn¡¯t die once or twice. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: yes it¡¯s the first time As soon as Cotton Candy Fox finished dealing with the monster, she ran to me as if she had been waiting and gave me all kinds of aegyo [1] and flirted non-stop. ¡®I mean, I guess it¡¯s amazing.¡¯ Of course, the strangest of them all was Cotton Candy Fox. Why is a Netkama doing such obvious tricks these days? To be honest, I¡¯m really dying to ask that question. Has anyone really fallen for something like this? [Party] Suwon Special City: Let¡¯s meet the main boss now [Party] Suwon Special City: Right??? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim, it¡¯s okay? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? Since it was normal difficulty, we were able to meet the boss right away without encountering the middle boss. The moment everyone in the party went through the warp portal, the screen changed, and a cutscene appeared. ¡¸New prey has arrived! ¡¹ The floor cracked, fire soared, and a lion-headed demon with large fangs appeared. This boss monster wielding a giant hammer was Marbas, one of Solomon¡¯s 72 demons. When the cutscene ended, Marbas cried out loudly in front of the gathered characters. The full health bar at the top appeared briefly and then disappeared. This is one of the reasons why the dungeon raid was difficult. Unlike field raids, the health bar was not visible, so it was very difficult to estimate how much damage to put in and hold on till the end. [Party] Suwon Special City: Avoid the initial pattern but it¡¯s okay if you do it anyway [Party] Suwon Special City: If you get hit, drink the potion right away without waiting for a heal [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Yes When What Do You Soy Milk raised the sword he was holding, a white shield appeared in the air. Cotton Candy Fox also started buffing accordingly. Marbas has a total of three phases: In the first phase, its attacks only reach the middle of the map, so the ranged dealer or assistant had to stay outside of its range and assault the dragon. Moving on to the second phase, the entire map was within the boss attack range, so the first phase was really the only time the ranged dealer could comfortably attack without getting hit in return. [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Sleepy-nim [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Move back further [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Even if you step back right in front of Fox-nim it¡¯s okay [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: okok Although I had already looked at the strategy video, it was my first map. I did not know exactly the attack range of the first phase, so I was content chatting with Let¡¯s Go Witcher. As soon as I retreated to the rear, Marbas slammed his hammer into the ground and the raid started. The ground violently shook and so did the screen. The demon Marbas roars! Fear reduces health recovery speed and movement speed. ¡°Don¡¯t expect that you can survive this!¡± It was the line that signaled the start of the first phase. Like I saw in the strategy, I started charging Thunder Lightning. Fireball did more damage, but in the first phase, where CC [2] was done to some extent, the Thunder Lightning was better. Krrang! A red light appeared on the map floor at the same time as the monster howled. It was an indication of the range of the attack. Marbas raised one leg wide. When Marbas slammed the leg down, the ground sharply shook and the part of the map marked with red cracked, flames rising. The Suwon city skillfully avoided wide-area attack by doing some backflips. As soon as the second consecutive strike was over, a red light appeared in the shape of a fan and the hammer swept heavily. After confirming that Suwon Special City had barely avoided it, What Do You Soy Milk cast the skill. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I put in my [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Deal ? It was one of the exclusive skills of the tank class ¡®Guardian¡¯. A white spark spread widely around What Do You Soy Milk, and Marbas¡¯ gaze flew towards him. In this brief moment when the boss¡¯s aggro was stuck on the tank, the dealers poured all their skills. I started charging for a fireball immediately after shooting a charged Thunder Lightning, and the Witcher pulled out a shining-silver bow. It was the Sharp Shooter¡¯s ultimate skill, the skill. It was possible to use the ultimate skill so quickly because it was a skill with a shorter cooldown time than the other skills overall. ¡°Kyaaaah!¡± After receiving all the attacks from the sharp shooter¡¯s ultimate to the full charge of my fireball, Marbas tilted his upper body and roared once more. ¡°From now on, I will deal with you sincerely!¡± It was the beginning of the second phase. From now on, the entire area in the map is included in the attack range. As expected, as soon as the dialogue was finished, a red light spread all over the floor. ¡®Oh fuck¡­¡­!¡¯ The problem was that I knew the order of the attacks but didn¡¯t know the exact range. I did not know which spots the first wide-area attack or the second wide-area attack would. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Come here After Cotton Candy Fox rushed to chat with me, I had no choice but to use the back evasion skill. I quickly identified the location where Cotton Candy Fox was. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t too far away. My hand moved first before deciding whether it was a good decision. Kwakwakwakwang! Marbas made a big 360-degree spin with its hammer horns nailed to the ground. While all the ground was being dug, I used my evasion skill and flew to the side of the Cotton Candy Fox, so I was able to arrive safely with only half of my blood gone. ¡°Haa¡­¡­¡­.¡± When I saw that the place where I had just stood had been decimated, I took a deep breath of relief. I couldn¡¯t completely avoid it, so it cut a little bit of blood, but that was okay. [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Gosh Sleepy-nim [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Glad you avoided that;; [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Oh this [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Try to dodge it without much loss So, it¡¯s a bit hard to dodge. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Stay with me this time ? Cotton Candy Fox, who got rid of the strange emoticons and tone of voice, continued chatting. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: This place is the second safe spot right now [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Let¡¯s go closer to the monster [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I¡¯ll need to see the position of the monster so hold on to me till the end [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Follow me At the same time as the Cotton Candy Fox hit the chat, she also used her dodge to avoid the second wide-area attack. It was an attack that was much easier to dodge than the previous one, so I frowned while evading it with control. ¡®¡­¡­You want me to follow you near the monster?¡¯ You are not even a max level... you are also a buffer at that? There aren¡¯t many skills either...¡­ ¡®Is Cotton Candy Fox a sub-account?¡¯ As a first-time user like me, there were too many obstacles to clear through. I was a bit troubled, but now it was not the time to discuss. I clicked my tongue and answered back. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: okok ¨C Note: [1] Aegyo ¨C behaving in a flirtatious, coquettish manner [2] CC (Crowd Control): A generic term for techniques that incapacitate a character¡¯s behavior by interfering with it. Usually there is fainting, sleep, bondage, and paralysis. CH 16 [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: This way I, who accepted the offer from the leader, quietly stood next to Cotton Candy Fox. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Well, then until we chat again¡ª [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Put in Deals ?? The new location we moved to was within the attack range, but I trusted Cotton Candy Fox¡¯s chat and started charging the fireball. Starting from the second phase, Marbas was not able to use any CC, so it was better to attack with the skill that has the strongest damage. ¡°You bastards!¡± Marbas screamed out angrily and swung his hammer on the ground in front of him. Kwaang, kwang! After hitting the ground twice in a row, the whole floor cracked, and the flames started soaring. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Now I expected to a certain extent that the monster would break the floor with its hammer, so I avoided the flames with the evasion skill while chatting with the Cotton Candy Fox. The red light that¡¯s directed in this spot meant the last attack. Unlike me, Cotton Candy Fox, Bumble Wing Wing, Suwon Special City and Let¡¯s Go Witcher were on the other side, easily avoiding two consecutive attacks. Unlike other jobs, the skill cooldown was short and there was one more evasion skill. The tank, What Do You Soy Milk, is basically immune to CC and has remarkably high defense and stamina, so there is no need to move because he won¡¯t die easily with only a healer to assist him. After seeing Bumble Wing Wing who was putting in deals uninterrupted from behind the monster for a long time, I finally understood the concept of the word ¡®Leader position¡¯ spoken by Cotton Candy Fox. ¡®Every job has a different role.¡¯ Originally, Cotton Candy Fox would also be giving buffs in a place like Bumble Wing Wing. When I watched the video, I didn¡¯t pay much attention to anything else because I was concentrating on the pattern and damage deals. Slowly understanding Marbas¡¯ overall attack pattern to a certain extent, I easily avoided Whirlwind, which was quickly swung by the hammer 360 degrees behind him, and the jump-wide attack that hit all the maps by jumping high. Then, Cotton Candy Fox jumped up and down and praised me. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: You were really good~!! >w< [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Cool~!!?? ¡°¡­¡­¡± How could you even type special characters in the middle of this frenzy? Crazy. When the Witcher¡¯s ultimate cooldown had just returned back to 0, and he fired again, Marbas, who was struck by it, staggered and spread his huge demon wings on his back. ¡°I will kill you all!¡± Finally, the line announcing the third phase came out. Even though I couldn¡¯t see it, I could tell that the health bar was about 30% left. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Beware of the sudden thumping of ground Unlike the previous phase, the third phase, called ¡®Balak¡¯ was particularly dangerous because Marbas stood still and attacked while standing in the center. After that, it¡¯d rush around the map swiftly. The rush attack, which came at a random user with great speed, was difficult in many ways because you had to press the evasion skill at the right time. Still, it wasn¡¯t difficult to put a deal on it, because every time you dash and hit the skill, there¡¯s about 3 seconds interval until the next dash. ¡°Die!¡± The first user Marbas caught was Suwon Special City. Suwon Special City, who lightly avoided Marbas, who rushed towards with its flapping demon wings, and along with his evasion skill, he summoned dozens of swords from the air and hailed them down. It was the Warlord¡¯s ultimate skill, . With a summoned sword stuck in his back, Marbas twisted its body as it designates the next opponent to charge towards. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Wow~ Whoa ~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: So scary~ fox is scared ??? Cotton Candy Fox, who found Marbas running like a bull towards her, floated a crying emote, while dodging its attacks skillfully. Avoiding the attacks while chatting and emoting, with such precise key controls¡ªshe was doing everything she could. She poured in all kinds of skills, flew in, and ended up near the wall while Marbas couldn¡¯t crush her. Looking at it like this, I feel a little pitiful for the dragon. ¡¸Ugh... Tsk¡­ !¡¹ Marbas¡¯ body turned bright red as he turned towards the third designated opponent. That meant he was about to die, and the last person to be rushed towards to was me. While Marbas was charging, anyone couldn¡¯t help me, since all damage and CC were negated. I calmly judged the situation while watching Marbas getting nearer. The moment when Suwon Special City used the evasion skill was when the distance with Marbas got close to the point of a finger on the screen. In terms of time, you have to wait 2 seconds to charge again. Cotton Candy Fox did not use an evasion skill but avoided it at a closer distance. It took about 3 seconds. However, in the case of Suwon City, Marbas started from the center of the map and towards him, and Cotton Candy Fox was across them from end to end, so the rush took longer. So, it was much more accurate to avoid it based on the distance on the screen rather than the time [3 seconds]. I¡¯m glad the party members avoided the attacks before me. I pressed the evasion skill when Marbas got close, just like Suwon Special City did. Kuung! Marbas, unable to hit me as expected, slammed himself against the wall again. [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Oh, Good Good [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ???? [Party] Bee Wing Wing: ??? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahahaha As the skills of the party members that were being prepared in advance poured out, Marbas dropped his hammer with a final scream and fell to the floor. At the same time, several notifications popped up on the screen along with a huge amount of experience. Keyrent Underground Dungeon Cleared! You have defeated one of Solomon¡¯s 72 demons, Marbas! You have acquired the title of ¡®Hunting the Devil¡¯! You have completed the quest to clear the Keyrent dungeon! You have completed the quest to clear the raid dungeon! You have completed the Devil Kill Quest! You have completed the Quest to kill the 1,000/1,000 monsters! Level-appropriate raid clear! Additional experience has been added! After clearing the dungeon, half of the experience bar was filled at once. It meant that I could hit level 216 by just one more round of the Keyrent [Normal]. ¡®Crazy¡­ That¡¯s why everyone is crazy about raids.¡¯ Even as a raid reward, equipment items and materials needed for remodeling were generously provided. I really understood now why everyone recommends Dungeon raids. [Party] Suwon Special City: That was great Yo~ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Good work Good work [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ???Great work, everyone. Imma go shut down now [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Whoa, finally it ended [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Sleepy-nim, were you afraid of the dog when it chased you? ??; [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: For real [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: It¡¯s hard to avoid when you smash into the wall [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: it must be weird to strangely die in the end ?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahahaha [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy oppa, good job hahahaha [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Did any of you had any trouble? Even so, I don¡¯t know if I like Cotton Candy Fox much. I thought this, while I thanked them and organized my inventory that had been wrecked out of order with new items. ¡®Are we disbanding the party now?¡¯ Usually, a raid party goes again for 3 times in a row, but there was no talk about such here... Besides, everyone¡¯s skills are good, so I don¡¯t think there will be any major problems if I left anyway. Thanks to this opportunity, I was able to participate in a raid party and got the experience I needed. While I was about to say my last goodbye and get out of their way, Cotton Candy Fox clung to me again. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy oppa! [Party] Are you sleepy: ? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Oppa is really good at games~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Do you want to keep partying with us??o.o Continuing together? I had to ask if it¡¯s okay, just in case. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Do you want to do more today? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Goodbye~ Let¡¯s continue tomorrow!! I want to!! ^?^ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Today too! Tomorrow too! And the next day after that too!! It means being in a long-term party. At Cotton Candy Fox¡¯s suggestion, I thought deeply. ¡®Why?¡¯ It was a party that went well without me. But, if they also run raids other than Keyrent seriously, they¡¯ll need a ranged dealer. Anyway, it wasn¡¯t a bad suggestion for me either. It cuts down on time spent looking for parties. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Then that¡¯s good for me [Party] Cotton Candy Fox : ???!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Then, Sleepy Oppa~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I need to find more equipment for you^^! What else does this mean? Are you saying that I need to wear more gear? Tilting my head after reading the incomprehensible chat, Cotton Candy Fox offered some items. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: These shoes that increases speed [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: and these bracelets that has Magic Resistance against all evils! The items on the trading window were shoes and a bracelet. Just in case, I hovered the mouse cursor to check the information and found that the movement speed and magic resistance mentioned by Cotton Candy Fox was true. ¡®What is this......¡¯ Netkama usually rips items off the other, but they do the opposite way? This is just great, really. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: it¡¯s okay; [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I can live without it [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Eh, are you not going to accept these two? ??? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: These two are not expensive~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Just take it! Let¡¯s just go back together now!!! ;_; It¡¯s definitely not an expensive item. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I will take only one;; [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sure, Sleepy Oppa haha [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Just take one item and let me know? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s no big deal~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: You said thank you to What Do You Soymilk earlier. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: exchange for that???^^ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox was so curious about that I almost couldn¡¯t even avoid getting hit by the wall~! ?.? ¡°¡­¡­¡± [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ? hahahahahaha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah ha ha ha ha what¡¯s this? LOL [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: For real, now I¡¯m also curious hahahaha [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: oo After seeing the reaction, I¡¯m curious about it hahaha I slowly shut my eyes and opened them. From a high level of understanding and skill in the game, to the bottomless and never-ending crush, and even the behavior of trying to do something over and over again¡­ I slowly moved my hand and typed ¡®Whisper/Yoo Chae¡¯ in the chat window and then sent a chat. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: hey Immediately after that, a system message came up. The other party cannot be found. Upon seeing this, I raised the corners of my mouth and laughed wildly. Look at this bastard? CH 17 17. [Party] This bastard is really back I¨C ¡®No, Fuck. Let¡¯s calm down...¡¯ After erasing the profanity in the chat window with backspace, I let out a warm breath. It was too early to be certain that Cotton Candy Fox was Yoo Chae. Above all, If I were to question him while pissed, there was no way to take it back if I found out that he wasn¡¯t Cotton Candy Fox. ¡°Ha¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± Now, everything fits like puzzle pieces. There¡¯s no way they would take the Normal route on a party like this without any reason. It was all Cotton Candy Fox¡¯s plan. Unknowingly, I just joined the party and became a stupid bastard like no other in the world. Ah, shit. I¡¯d rather join an official party recklessly and get kicked out than this. ¡®Somehow, I had too much luck.¡¯ I should have been more suspicious though. No, I mean who would have imagined that he would stick to me even while using a sub-account? Certainly not me. I came to this party and all I got was useless¨C Wait. ¡°¡­Huge amount of experience?¡± My forehead was horribly distorted at the answer that popped out involuntarily. Do you think that experience is important to you when you are being teased by that Chae bastard?¡­ There was nothing that could be said to be the truth of the matter. ¡®The experience was sweet.¡¯ It was so sweet that I thought my tongue would melt. It was even more so because it had been a rough week and I was craving for more. What is more important to a gamer other than experience in this type of RPG game? ¡°Fuck you bastard, damn it...¡± If you¡¯re going to deceive me by bringing a sub-account, then do it right. That way I can enjoy a happy game life without being guilty. At any rate, this bastard didn¡¯t do anything right other than playing games! After covering my face with both hands and muttering curses for a long time, I began to think seriously. First, I should leave the party. Should I just close my eyes and get rid of it, pretending not to know? After all, that bastard is an idiot and I am the innocent victim, right? Even if I refused this time, there was no guarantee that that Yoo Chae bastard would give up. I leaned against the back of the chair and looked at the ceiling. Actually, there was something else I was curious about. Yoo Chae, what the hell does this guy want from me? Why is he helping me complete Raid dungeons by bringing a sub-account? I must have said it in a message last time. If I see your username in my eyes just one more time, I¡¯ll block it right away. Recalling that, I raised one corner of my mouth and smiled crookedly. ¡®Well, looking at it, I didn¡¯t see the username Yoo Chae.¡¯ It¡¯s Cotton Candy Fox, not Yoo Chae, so that¡¯s a problem. Even with a beggar-like nickname of ¡®Oppa¡¯... ¡°Uh?¡± At that moment, an amazing thought flashed through my mind like a lightning bolt. I touched my lips and tilted my head. This is¡­ If I do well, I might even get a raid dungeon and feed that Yoo Chae bastard a shot of his own crap, right? I calmly considered various things and smiled deeply. I straightened my stretched body and immediately put my hand over the mouse. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Is Monday okay? ?.? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Why are you taking so long to answer?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: It¡¯s really not a big deal. ?? [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: ?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy-oppa?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Knock Knock [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: How are you? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Did it go like that?? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: You are not answering [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ???... [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ??..... [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ??? [Party] Suwon Special City: How long have we been here?;; [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: I think we¡¯re gonna lose him in the first round [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: oo I also wanna know when you¡¯re going to come back [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ?waiting The last chat about waiting for me gave me chills. The character of Cotton Candy Fox, which used to look pretty cute, now felt like a sly nine-tailed fox that wanted to prey on my liver. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Sori Sori [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: an urgent phone call suddenly came up [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s okay!! As I chatted, Cotton Candy Fox, who had been standing still, responded back and forth. I put up the soymilk that I received from What Do You Soy Milk earlier on the transaction window that is still on. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Thanks for this [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: soy milk [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: haha~ [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: What is it? [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: You threw trash at the benefactor who saved you;; [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: It¡¯s trash anyway [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I made it myself^^ haha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: It¡¯s Sleepy-nim¡¯s now haha [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ? ?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy-oppa~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: soy milk, do you care about it? ??? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: How about a trade with this fox? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: oo [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ahh, that¡¯s too sad After trading the soy milk, I received a pair of shoes and a magic resistance bracelet and immediately wore the items. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim, you¡¯ve suffered a lot of damage until now. ? ? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: How is the soy milk? [Party] Suwon Special City: The fox took it just because [Party] Suwon Special City: Drink well LOL [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Just now, I exchanged it [Party] Bee buzzing: Fuck ?????? ??? [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Ah, Fuck ????? [Party] Wat Do You Soy Milk: That¡¯s funny af I stared intently at the party chatting window. Seeing that they fit together so well, they must all be members of the Early Evening guild. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: So [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Oppa, are you going to keep playing with us???_? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Because you received my gifts!!^.^ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Can you add me as your friend~? Cotton Candy Fox sent me a friend request before I even answered. There was a sense of urgency in that action. I hit the Confirm button and hit chat. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Of course It was good for me haha [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Thank you very much. As soon as I accepted the offer, Cotton Candy Fox burst forth with a happy emoji. Seeing that, I laughed wickedly like a villain. ¡®Yeah, I really like it.¡¯ Because it will make you regret starting to do things like being a Netkama carelessly. *** After three days of arduous work, I found a decent newbie in the user cafe for Zenoris while humming and connecting to [Drink some water] account. [Guild] Drink some water: Hey Yoo Chae No matter how much he told me to do whatever I wanted, the guild master was definitely Yoo Chae. So, after waiting for a long time as Drink some water, which I called for Yoo Chae to make a brief report, there was still no answer, so I started chatting. [Guild] Drink some water: ?? [Guild] Drink some water: I¡¯m online right now [Guild] Drink some water: Not here? [Guild] Mocha Bread: ?? [Guild] Mocha Bread: Gilma is in the arena right now [Guild] Mocha Bread: The kids seems to have left the Guild chat to watch the arena?? [Guild] Drink some water: Arena?? The arena was a battlefield where users gathered together to fight in a large area that could only be accessed by purchasing a separate coin. It was also the only place where you could enjoy PVP without hassle since it¡¯s a system that can attack or receive anyone from the moment you enter. [Guild] Drink some water: Why suddenly the arena? [Guild] Mocha Bread: I feel so happy [Guild] The monster born of capital: oo He went there to relieve stress.. [Guild] Seasoned Crab Soup: The kids must be fucking dead by now [Guild] Seasoned Crab Soup: Poor kids [Guild] Haerun: Lord-nim [Guild] Haerun: Another 100 people have passed away¡­ [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: Hahahaha Fuck I should go too;; [Guild] Drink some water: Is something wrong? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Ummm [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: It¡¯s a bit long to explain. [Guild] Drink some water: ?? [Guild] Drink some water: I¡¯m fine, Please do it [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Shit, so what actually happened is¡­ Park Seung-jin 99 began to slowly talk about everything he had seen through the Suwon Special City account. *** The time was two days ago, that is, a day had passed since Sleepy-nim accepted Cotton Candy Fox¡¯s proposal and formed a long-term raid party. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Kya, sleepy oppa><~~!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Welcome~!!? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: haha [Party] Suwon Special City: hahahaha~ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Hi [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: Welcome [Party] What Do You Soymilk: Let¡¯s start quickly?? The start of the raid was very ordinary, no different from the first day. Yoo-Chae wore his Cotton Candy Fox mask like a natural and poured out her aegyo that was honestly burdensome to look at, and just like before, was unrepentant about it. That was until the raid had ended without many problems. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Fox-nim [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I think I¡¯ll make myself more comfortable with you [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: You¡¯re fine with it? Cotton Candy Fox jumped over the chat since no one seemed to expect it. It was understandable to some extent. It¡¯s probably because I¡¯m sleepy-nim, who kept pushing him away? Yoo Chae, who was one of the seniors who took in guild members and turned them into dope slaves, helped me to level up. It was only natural to turn around when the person he liked so much reciprocated. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sure! sure!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s totally fine ???!!! [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: hahaha [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ??? But the operation will start here. I¡¯m sleepy-nim will have to look obsessed with her, so starting now, I will be adding the word ¡°oppa¡± in every chat to refer to myself. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Oppa will do it for you^^ [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: How was your oppa just now? Did I do well? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Oppa thinks you¡¯re very pretty as a woman ha [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Oppa now knows who the person behind fox is~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ¡­¡­ CH 18 18. When this happened, chatting with Cotton Candy Fox decreased significantly. On the other hand, the mood of I¡¯m sleepy had an upward curve the more time passed by. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Fox is really good at games ?? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Your Oppa knows that a girl who is good at playing games is a gem ? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Does fox have a discord? ^^ [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Do you want to discord with your Oppa? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Hehe later... [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Later? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Later when? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Let¡¯s do it now [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m curious about Fox¡¯s voice?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ???... [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: If we¡¯re going to continue the raid anyway [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: We should go in discord [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: What abt you guys? [Party] Bumblebee: Ah;; I need to set up the mic.. It was literally five minutes before the opening. The only thing Cotton Candy Fox and the guild members, who were sweating profusely, could hope was for today¡¯s raid to end quickly. *** Park Seung-jin 99, who finished recalling what happened, flooded the chat box. [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: It¡¯s okay rn [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Sleepy-nim will come in late since he¡¯s working part-time. [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: But when Sleepy-nim comes later, [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: I have to be taken back to that hell ?? [Guild] Mocha Bread: ??I think I¡¯m going to fall behind on purpose.. [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: He keeps telling us to use discord [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: Makes me go crazy every now and then [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: I don¡¯t have any excuses damn it ?????? Except for Mocha Bread, who gave the easiest refusal since he had no microphone, the other three had no valid excuse. [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: If we want to conquer the Keyrent Dungeon, we have to dc(1) [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: we cleared the hard mode yesterday. [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: Hell mode¡¯s the only one left ?? [Guild] Haerun: a Keyrent Hell challenge within 3 days? [Guild] Haerun: It¡¯s not gonna be easy, but I¡¯m sleepy¡¯s participating [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: he¡¯s enthusiastically flirting even now [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Bring the whole guild to watch the performance? [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: I would love that [Guild] The Hunter: I heard they all hid their voices to dc [Guild] Drink some water: But what¡¯s up with Yoo Chae? [Guild] Drink some water: If he reacts like this [Guild] Drink some water: Shouldn¡¯t he like it(2)? why is he like this [Guild] Drink some water: I kinda miss my Cotton Candy Fox account [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: I guess he fell in love with the account ?? [Guild] Mocha Bread: What are you going to do about that? ?? [Guild] Mocha Bread: Gilma is not a steamed woman Fuck [Guild] Bright Clouds: If I were a woman, the moment I dc-ed him would have been the beginning of something ????????

[Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: I¡¯m sleepy doesn¡¯t even care. [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: He¡¯s an incredibly easy person for a girl to hitch with lmao hahahahaha [Guild] Haerun: Unlike Gilma, who doesn¡¯t give a shit to things like that [Guild] Haerun: It¡¯s because he¡¯s a man ?? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Men are like that ~ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: If I were a woman, we would have reconciled earlier [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: then the two of us will have raids together hahahaha [Guild] Drink some water: ?? And I too [Guild] Drink some water: wouldn¡¯t have to go out of my way to find a newbie?? [Guild] Yoo Chae: ?? [Guild] Drink some water: ?

It¡¯s a system in which the monthly membership benefits or participation event rewards increase depending on how much contribution has been accumulated, but that had all disappeared into thin air just now. The guild members, who realized the situation late, grabbed the back of their neck and roared to the chatbox. [Guild] Drink some water: Fucking hilarious fuck ??????

[Guild] Drink some water: ??I wasn¡¯t the one who talked shit about him Just like the guild master, the Guild Manager could have touched the guild contribution by chance and the victims relied on her because of that chance, but she, who had no intention of rebelling, only coldly beat them down.

[Soeso: heh 2] [Soeso: Are you coming after working part-time?] [I¡¯m sleepy: ??] [I¡¯m sleepy: How did it go at your home?] Kim Dae-seok has been staying at his parents¡¯ house in Daejeon for the past week and a half. He whined so much that he thought he was going to die of boredom because there was no computer in the chat room where his high school friends gathered. [Soeso: As soon as I arrived] [Soeso: I want to hug and cry??] [Soeso: It¡¯ll be so nice to see you in a week] [I¡¯m sleepy: crazy;] [Soeso: Anyway, what are you doing now?] [I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m waiting because I¡¯m getting raids soon] [Soeso: Oh raid?] [Soeso: With a temporary party?] [I¡¯m sleepy: No, a regular party] [Soeso: You can¡¯t even enter the guild.] [Soeso: How did you get a regular party?] I pondered the question for a moment, and then told him what had happened with Cotton candy fox. As expected, Kim Dae-Seok showed great interest. [Soeso: No, but] [Soeso: Is the buffer you spoke of really Yoo Chae? Are you sure?] [I¡¯m sleepy: almost 90% chance] [I¡¯m sleepy: His actions are the same from one to ten] [Soeso: It¡¯s amazing tho...] [Soeso: If it¡¯s real, it¡¯s really great.] [Soeso: But if he doesn¡¯t steal or does things like that] [Soeso: and If it¡¯s not really a girl] [Soeso: then I understand a little bit damn] [I¡¯m sleepy: ?] [Soeso: Being female is like a requirement for a buffer] [Soeso: I¡¯m also a bubbly buffer, and I put so much effort into the act.] [Soeso: Would you like to see for yourself?] I was wondering what kind of logic this was, but with how much time is left before the beginning of the start of raid, I replied that he can come along too. There was nothing to do, but it should be okay. When the party members arrive after chatting with Kim Dae-seok, we¡¯ll go do the raid. [Soeso: ??] [Soeso: Go to the entrance of the Keyrent Dungeon] [I¡¯m sleepy: o] Kim Dae-seok started organizing the inventory that he had been putting off for the rest of the year. Useless things were replaced, and the materials needed for remodeling were arranged on one side for easy identification. About 5 minutes passed like that, a pretty character ran up to me. I moved the inventory window which I had been organizing to the right side of the screen. [All] I got you I got you: ???? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: I want to puke at that username; Light pink hair in a white dress. Kim Dae-seok¡¯s sub account character, who wore a sweatshirt and had angel wings on her back, showed a winking emotional expression in my chat. [All] I got you I got you: It was taken from our Celtis-noona¡¯s outing song ?? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: If Celtis-noona could see this, they¡¯ll have you kicked out of the fancafe. ?? [All] I got you I got you: Fuck you But this bastard, the main account character, and the sub account character... You¡¯re not pretending to be a real Netkama, are you? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Do you reveal that you¡¯re a man? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Now I¡¯m seriously suspicious... [All] I got you I got you: Oh soon?? [All] I got you I got you: It¡¯s too much for me to be a man in a game [All] I got you I got you: And the Netkama thing must be done properly, and there must be talent behind it [All] I¡¯m sleepy: So you agree Looking back at the figure of Cotton candy fox, it wasn¡¯t just about pretending to be cute or showing aegyo. No matter how online he is, how easy was it to deceive people? [All] I got you I got you: But I [All] I got you I got you: I have the confidence to do well if I want to [All] I got you I got you: Do you want to see it? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: lol [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Try it [All] I got you I got you: Oppa, buy this for me and I¡¯ll give you a chu, won¡¯t you? [All] I got you I got you: If you buy this, I will kiss you ^3^ ¡°¡­¡­¡± This crazy bastard...¡­¡­ Seriously, this guy probably hasn¡¯t met a woman in a long time. I¡¯ll have to take a screenshot of this and post it on the group chat room. I need to update the Kim Dae-seok Black History? for the kids to see. I chatted back while pressing the screenshot button hard. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ??? Do more [All] I got it I got it: Oh I¡¯ll do a chu, I¡¯m so shy~>?< [All] I¡¯m sleepy: more and more [All] I¡¯m sleepy: keep going?? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ? [All] I got you I got you: ? Oh, shit. Startled by the unexpected appearance of the username, I quickly turned off the inventory window I had left in the corner of the screen. Then, to my surprise, I saw Cotton candy fox and the characters of the raid party members standing there. While chatting, the inventory window that I pushed to organize the dungeon obscured the entrance of the dungeon, so I didn¡¯t know immediately that someone else was coming. I couldn¡¯t even guess if these people had seen the chats already. [All] What Do You Soy Milk: ??.. [All] Suwon Special City: ??¡­ [All] Cotton Candy Fox: What are you doing now?^^ CH 19 19. In the awkward air that I could feel even beyond the monitor screen, I gripped the mouse tight for no reason. ¡®¡­¡­what?¡¯ I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, so why am I being self-conscious? Kim Dae-seok, like me, also sent a whisper to see if I sensed the low-key atmosphere too. [Whisper] I got you I got you: Ya ?? [Whisper] I got you I got you: What¡¯s with the situation right now?? [Whisper] I got you I got you: Are you kidding me? What a load of crap. I smiled and tapped the keyboard. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? keep it up Despite chatting that to my friend, I don¡¯t know what to do. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? [All] I¡¯m Sleepy: This is not what it looks like really [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Aha, Hello ?.?~ [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Who is that next to you? [All] I¡¯m Sleepy: Friend [All] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: ?? [All] Bumble Wing Wing: Friend, ?? friend, huh.. ?? [All] What Do You Soy Milk: What kind of chats between friends,, [All] Suwon Special City: If those are friends, then I have no friends.. [All] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: for real [All] Bumble Wing Wing: I¡¯m an outcast [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ah??? it¡¯s a real friend; I said it sincerely, but no one agreed. I don¡¯t know why everyone believes that if a character is a female, then the person playing is also a female. I can¡¯t. Even though this guy has a username, I was going to add an explanation that the inside is a strong male person, but the character of Cotton Candy Fox, who came close to me, clung to me asked me. [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ?? friend [All] Cotton Candy Fox: So, you¡¯re friends~ [All] Cotton Candy Fox: But your friend [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Why did you stop chatting?^^ [All] I got you I got you: Oh ?? [All] I got you I got you: I¡¯m sleepy, please tell her to stop. [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ??? [All] I got you I got you: ??.. [Whisper] I got you I got you: Hey, I think he really is Yoo Chae [Whisper] I got you I got you: I¡¯m scared Looking back, Kim Dae-seok and Yoo Chae did not know each other at all. Yoo Chae¡¯s Early Evening Guild and Kim Dae-seok¡¯s One Heart One Mind Guild aren''t close to each other, but I''ve seen their nicknames repeatedly that it slipped off my mind. ¡®Do you have to meet as a secondary character at a time like this, huh?¡¯ [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Oh stop it It felt so terrifying to be caught between the I got you I got you character and Cotton Candy Fox character. What are these men doing with a female character? It¡¯s annoying, really. [All] I got you I got you: I didn¡¯t do anything? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: You are too much [All] I¡¯m sleepy: what [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ???.... At that moment, Cotton Candy Fox suddenly took out a gorgeous-looking lira as if showing off. Judging from the gold flashing, it was clear that it was a weapon of considerable value. Kim Dae-seok, seeing this, freaked out and immediately sent a whisper. [Whisper] I got you I got you: Look at that ?? [Whisper] I got you I got you: Is this what I¡¯m preempting right now? [Whisper] I got you I got you: No joke [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Dae-seok-ah, shut up [Whisper] I got you I got you: Ugh ? [Whisper] I got you I got you: Isn¡¯t it time to raid anyway? [Whisper] I got you I got you: I¡¯m scared, so I should get going Yes. Please get out of here. It seemed that sending at least one person away would help clear up this mess. [All] I got you I got you: I will go now~ [All] I got you I got you: Sleepy, Raid Fighting^3^~! [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? Crazy Bastard, why did you have to say it like that? Before I could even argue my embarrassment, Kim Dae-seok logged out immediately. As the I got you I got you character disappeared, a member of the raid party, who had been buzzing at the entrance of the dungeon, slowly approached. ¡®Those people¡­ We must be making a lot of noise in the party chat.¡¯ It was obvious if you didn¡¯t see it. It¡¯s better to just restore my image a little bit by revealing that she¡¯s a man. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ah ??? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: My friend was just messing around. [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa.. [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Don¡¯t you like women too much? ¡°¡­¡­¡± I halted in my explanation that she was actually a man. This little bastard... The corners of my lips rose to one side. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Of course I¡¯m a man, so I have to like women~^^ [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Foxes are women too?? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: But you¡¯re a bit harsh ?.? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: What do you mean [All] I¡¯m sleepy: What are you talking about^^; [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Oppa is not such an easy guy~ [All] Cotton Candy Fox: But you look super easy? ?? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Then the fox can try to seduce me [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Let¡¯s go to discord? ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox doesn¡¯t have a microphone! ??? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: so do you want to call me? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Call me at ^^ [All] I¡¯m sleepy: 010 [All] I¡¯m sleepy: 3256 When I gave my actual cell phone number, Cotton Candy Fox was startled and pushed my chat up in a hurry. [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Are you crazy, oppa? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Why did you write your number? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s now all in chat; You¡¯re making a fuss about everything. Now, she¡¯s asking me why I threw in my number. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: You didn¡¯t have a mic, so I gave you my phone number ?? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Do you have your phone? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Phone? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Do you want to call me, oppa? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Then~ [All] I¡¯m sleepy: This oppa is very curious about the fox¡¯s voice ?? Why are you asking when you have no intention of doing anything? Disgusting bastard. He smirked inwardly, waiting for the cotton candy fox¡¯s answer. Then the cotton candy fox, who had been still for a while, asked with hesitation. [All] Cotton Candy Fox: But [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Is that really Oppa¡¯s phone number?? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: oo [All] Cotton Candy Fox: hello?~? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Call me next time! ~_~ [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Let¡¯s go raid now!>-< ¡®¡­ what?¡¯ There was nothing unusual about it, as I expected he would suddenly change his words to go on a raid. But, I was mindful that Cotton Candy Fox suddenly looked much better than before. Maybe it¡¯s because he¡¯s such a crazy guy, and I can¡¯t figure out his angle because he keeps doing random shit. [All] Suwon Special City: ??.. [All] Suwon Special City: If you are done talking, [All] Suwon Special City: Why don¡¯t you come to the party now? [All] What Do You Soy Milk: The episode ¡®Love and War¡¯ is over [All] Bumble Wing Wing: This is interesting [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ???; When I clicked on the party window floating above Cotton Candy Fox character and entered, Cotton Candy Fox started chatting as if he had been waiting. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: This is stupid ?_? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: o(o) (o¨Œ)o [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It¡¯s cute ?? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: o(Vo) (o¨Œo [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: o(Vo) (o¨Œ)o [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: It look like a fox^^ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ??? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Isn¡¯t it cute? ^-^ Is it cute?... But it doesn¡¯t seem like there¡¯s any damage compared to the ¡®oppa¡¯ attack from yesterday, is this okay? ¡®Are you used to it already? Then I can¡¯t.¡¯ Gotta find a new way to screw him. I thought it would take a week though. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy oppa! (bo) [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: (o¨Œ) Fighting! [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ??.. [Party] Let¡¯s Go Witcher: There [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: I¡¯m so sorry to interrupt [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: Can we start now? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? Without needing to explain, Witcher who set the level of difficulty in Hell Mode pressed the enter button. When the screen switched and the short loading was finished, lava flowed and bright red fires were blazing everywhere, revealing the interior. Because it was the final difficulty, the appearance inside the dungeon also changed. It was obviously harder and more difficult than Normal and Hard, but the overall pattern itself was similar, so it was enough to clear it. The monsters haven¡¯t come out yet, but Cotton Candy Fox already gave me a buff and fluttered around the area. I guess the reason why it¡¯s more effective than last time is that Lila has changed. The same goes for the items you gave me when I was in the guild. Do you have that much money? It¡¯s pretty common to pour money into RPG games, so it¡¯s not surprising... That felt a bit pathetic. No, it¡¯s not like you¡¯re upgrading your main character, and you¡¯re giving items to someone you haven¡¯t met for less than a week or changing weapons for your secondary character. Isn¡¯t it worth it? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa >< [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox got a few weapons! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I just wanted to give you a good buff, oppa~>.< With good timing, Cotton Candy Fox brought up the lira first. Yes, you are the boss. I pounded the keyboard with a dull expression. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Hey ??? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: The only thing oppa can think of is my fox~^^ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Hehe [Party] Suwon Special City: ?? guys, mobs are coming out now ?? [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: Stop with that lovey-dovey! [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: The mobs are all here... Be careful... [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: ??? [Party] Suwon Special City: There¡¯s too many [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Fuck ???? [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: ????????? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Why are you rushing alone when you haven¡¯t even said anything yet?;; ?? [Party] Suwon Special City: Fuck you [Party] Let¡¯s go Witcher: ???????? Gradually, the topic of conversation flowed naturally as not only Cotton Candy Fox but also the party members had adapted to my tone. Oh, I really need to find a new way. I rolled my head and fired a skill at the monsters approaching. CH 20 I successfully completed Hell, the last difficulty of the Keyrent Dungeon yesterday, and was able to hit level 220 without any problems. It is a record of the splendor of raising 5 levels in four days. But it¡¯s hard. Since you cleared each difficulty level at least two or three times at most, it was worth raising about 5 levels. Still, considering last week when I was at level 215 for a week, this speed was pretty good. ¡®Shelton is the next raid dungeon.¡¯ We had beaten Hell, the most difficult level of Keyrent, so there was no need to do that anymore. Shelton-only quests had already been received. Shelton¡¯s difficulty was in the order of Normal, Hard, and Hell, just like Keyrent. If I break all of that, I''ll be able to hit level 230 right away. After examining the skills of the party members and the speed of raid clearing, I thought quietly. ¡®¡­¡­Well done.¡¯ In addition, 5 items from Cotton Candy Fox have already been passed down to me. It was difficult to say no because he knew that I didn''t accept expensive items, and because I only picked out suitable items. Still, it wasn¡¯t easy to get it from the beginning. The third time, I said that I would buy it myself because he didn¡¯t seem like he''d relent. Then, Cotton Candy Fox smirked and said something like, ¡®Do you see Raid as a joke, Sleepy Oppa?¡¯ It was a load of bullshit. From then on, I just took it without saying anything. ¡°Hm¡­.¡± Crossing over to the raid area where the Shelton Dungeon was located, I slowly looked at the raid recruitment bulletin board. It¡¯s not bad to know the atmosphere in advance. [Shelton/ 4 reel / 2 tank 3 DPS 2 support /max level] 6/7 [??/10 reel/ intermediate support x/2-3-2] 7 [Pitanomal/3 Reels/Nortang 3 DPS 3 support/max levels only] 6/6 [Cell/Light 277/232 sets] /7 [???/Hell three times/3-3-3/max level is needed] 9/9 There were only Shelton and Pita dungeons in this area, so there weren¡¯t that many recruitment posts on the raid bulletin board. I think we need another tanker to get around Shelton. I touched the corner of my mouth and looked at the messages I received from Cotton Candy Fox again. [Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa] [Cotton Candy Fox: Today¡¯s raid is going to be hard ???!] [Cotton Candy Fox: something suddenly came up] [Cotton Candy Fox: It will take 3 hours;_;] [Cotton Candy Fox: Let¡¯s go together in Shelton some other time!] [I¡¯m sleepy: ok ok] [Cotton Candy Fox: If you go to another party, they''ll know...] [Cotton Candy Fox: I will get going then???] [I¡¯m sleepy: ????] [Cotton Candy Fox: Huk???] [Cotton Candy Fox: I will.. ?.?] He logged out as soon as those words were finished. It seemed to be true that he was busy. Or maybe it had something to do with the main account Yoo Chae. Anyway, as the master of the No. 1 guild on the server, there was nothing strange about being busy. ¡®But how long are you going to pretend to be a Netkama?¡¯ Now that you have to break a new raid dungeon, you must also have a microphone. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like you have made a mistake. Last time when I added Yoo Chae as a friend, I should have held onto him properly and questioned this and that. If I had, I wouldn¡¯t have to question about Cotton Candy Fox¡¯s behavior now. ¡°Because I don¡¯t know¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡° I crossed my arms and leaned my back on the chair. It was certainly not my fault for what had transpired with Yoo Chae before, but since I received everything I was supposed to receive, I didn¡¯t lose out at all. To be honest, it''s also true that Cotton Candy Fox, who had helped with the Raid stuff harder than anyone over the past few days, managed to relieve his ire a little. Of course, that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯ll forgive him for spreading my username like that all over the server, but I¡¯m getting a proper apology anyway. While doing the raid together, I also felt that this kid didn¡¯t do such a thing with terrible intentions. Looking back, it was strange from the beginning. He fell all over himself when we tackled my username, and it could be because he has a crazy personality, but his attitude changed immediately after that¡­ Isn¡¯t that a bit suspicious? At that time, I was so annoyed and lost 1:1 PVP, so I didn¡¯t take it seriously... Looking back now, there were definitely a few strange things. ¡°¡­I don¡¯t know.¡± After groaning for a while, I sighed and ruffled my bangs. Even if I tried to work hard alone, it wouldn¡¯t mean anything unless I caught that Yoo Chae bastard and hear the answer. Even if I went ahead and told Cotton Candy Fox to stop doing the Netkama, it wouldn¡¯t work. If I stepped forward for no reason, I may lose the only experienced raid party that''ll take me in. ¡®Yeah. Ignore everything and start reaching the max level.¡¯ Anyway, I¡¯ve been through a lot of trouble because of this bastard, can¡¯t I get on the level-up bus? I cleared my shaking heart and straightened my posture. What was the reason for starting Zenoris in the first place? Isn¡¯t it just to try out a new job, a dark mage? You can change to a Dark Mage only when you reach max level. In retrospect, it means that I haven¡¯t even played a Dark Mage yet. I turned off Cotton Candy Fox''s message box and moved to another place. Today¡¯s raid was canceled, but that didn¡¯t mean there weren¡¯t any quests to do. There were about five daily quests, called ¡®assignments¡¯, which would give additional rewards and experience points every day, and additional quests that only come to normal level users. Once I finished my assignments quickly, I went to the Eastern Continent to do additional quests. It was to catch a monster called Campara, which only respawns on islands in the eastern continent. Probably because it was a place with the fewest users, and there were only two people on the map except for me even though it wasn''t late, from what I can see, those two were also normal level, so it looks like they came for an additional quest. I turned off my mind and went to catch Campara, but the whole chat came up. [All] Ganbok: ??Let¡¯s try it [All] Ganbok: I told you so [All] Ganbok: Over there [All] Ganbok: I¡¯m sleepy-nim ?? As I was taking out the staff to hunt, I frowned at the subsequent chats. What, this again? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ? [All] Ganbok: Sleepy-nim, right? [All] Ganbok: I had a fight with the bastards from the Early Evening Early evening bastards? I turned off the inventory window and looked at the screen properly. The name of the guild that was clearly floating above the nickname that was written as ¡®Ganbok¡¯ was . ¡®Ah, that Fever.¡¯ It reminded me of the Guild Wars I had heard from Kim Dae-Seok before. It was the guild that fought with the Early evening guild two or three times a year. Was it ranked 3rd? [All] aoko1: ??? For real, those people [All] aoko1: Excuse me The guy next to the Ganbok belonged to the same Fever guild. I quietly stared at the chat window and narrowed my eyes. ¡®These bastards... I have a bad feeling.¡¯ My instincts of playing the game for a long time were shouting. You should be careful with those in front of you. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ? While giving a rough answer, I turned on the video recording program I had installed in advance. When the record button was pressed, the Zenoris play screen began to be recorded vividly. [All] aoko1: Then you can spit it out [All] aoko1: You were deprived for real? ? [All] aoko1: Right?? [All] aoko1: ???is that right? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: yes [All] Ganbok: It¡¯s so damn funny ??? [All] Ganbok: Sleepy-nim, I really wanted to meet you at least once?? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ? ?? Watching the recording time go by properly, I thought deeply. What do you want me to do? [All] Ganbok: As you know [All] Ganbok: Yoo Chae has always been acting up even before. [All] Ganbok: A lot of people don¡¯t like him. ?? [All] aoko1: Right ???? [All] aoko1: There are a lot of victims like you in the guild [All] Ganbok: That person is a bastard [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ??? I felt sour in my mouth at their words. I sighed and tilted my head slowly. To be honest, it was a bit annoying. If they have nothing important to say, I would like to just go hunting now. [All] Ganbok: Sleepy-nim [All] Ganbok: Are you still getting fired from the guilds you enter?? [All] Ganbok: That¡¯s why you play solo? [All] aoko1: The Early evening is awful, so who cares about them? ? [All] Ganbok: Will you come to our guild? ?? [All] Ganbok: Newbie¡¯s only the problem we have to deal with now~ When I received an unexpected offer, I couldn¡¯t react immediately and blinked. ¡°You want me to join the guild?¡± The Fever Guild is also ranked 3rd on the server and has a bad relationship with the Early evening? After thinking for a while, I answered. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ??? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: No, I refuse Guild¡¯s suggestion to join, of course, was good. Even if it was the Fever Guild, it wouldn¡¯t be easy for Early Evening to touch me. However, there are three reasons why I refused. First, I can¡¯t trust these two guys who suggested joining the guild at all. How many times have you chatted with a user you just met and you¡¯re taking him to the guild? Is joining the server¡¯s 3rd guild that easy? Second, I had no intention of joining a guild that I didn''t know well for one reason: I wanted to give Yoo Chae in Early Evening a bite back for what he had done. The annoyance would have multiplied ten thousand times. Lastly, I didn¡¯t want to get involved with such human garbage. The more I looked into it, the more absurd the proposal was. My opponent then responded that he was embarrassed by my knife-like rejection. [All] aoko1: ?? [All] Ganbok: You say you¡¯re not coming? [All] aoko1: ? ???? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Yes I¡¯m not going [All] I¡¯m sleepy: If you are done talking behind their backs [All] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m going hunting [All] Ganbok: ??? It was a waste of time to deal with more. I turned around and went to catch Campara, but something blue flew towards my character at high speed. ¡°What.¡± The body was faster than the head. After moving the character to avoid the attack, I turned my view of the screen and looked back. [All] aoko1: Fuck [All] aoko1: Aren''t you lucky? ?? I could see one, holding a staff and the other person holding out a spear, respectively. ¡®¡­¡­Are you attacking me now?¡¯ For rejecting an offer to join a guild? I was shocked and burst out laughing. CH 21 [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: What are you doing? ?? I pretended to be oblivious, chatted, and stealthily turned on the inventory window. I then drank the magic attack power increase potion, the cast speed increase potion, the stamina recovery speed increase potion, and the mana increase potion, which I had saved up so far. When I was in raids, I didn¡¯t have a chance to consume it because Cotton Candy Fox always gave me a buff, so I¡¯m using it like this. [All] Ganbok: Have merci on my me, dear pal.? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? It was 2:1, but unlike me, there were two Max level men who didn¡¯t have the same job as me, so it was enough. Looking at the weapon, it looks like a person has regrettably the same mage job as me. This seems like a situation where you have to deal with both long-distance and short-range at the same time. I quickly recalled the list of skills of the mage and the spearman in my head. Usually, you have 6 to 7 attack skills before. All you have to do is make it impossible to use only the Ice Spear, the 5-second bondage skill that Mage has. Then there will be a limit to the skills I can use, but there is nothing I can do about it. If the enemy team has both ranged and mage, you must kill the mage first. This was one of the basics that can be used in any game. I turned on the shield that reduces the stiffness time and short-range damage, thinking that the magic skill would not fit. Immediately, the spearman¡¯s skill flew in. Chiing, he used the evasion skill to match the sharp sound. That skill, which wields the spear and shooting it from afar, was one of the non-target skills that should never hit the opponent because once it does, it left a mark that the spearman could flash towards my character the moment it hit. As expected, the Mage was charging the Ice Spear behind the spearman. This will not be easy, really. As soon as I finished the evasion skill, I immediately started charging the chain lightning. This is a basic skill that stuns the opponent for 1 second and inflicts damage at the same time. It was a skill that I didn¡¯t use much when hunting because it didn¡¯t do much damage to the ambiguous CC of 1 second stun. But now, I ate various buff potions, and my opponent is a mage, so this alone was enough. I finished charging in almost 0.3 seconds because of the cast speed increase potion, and I quickly fired a chain lightning at the opponent Mage. [All] aoko1: ? The ice sphere, which had been charging hard, suddenly cut off and the opponent Mage, who had lost 15% of his health, chatted in embarrassment. After checking the damage with my own eyes, I smiled. The damage came out much better than I expected. There was an attack power increase buff on me, but it was mostly because the opponent¡¯s armor was weak. The spearman, who became much more urgent than before, began to intersperse the spear with a magic skill. Because it was such an obvious attack pattern, I was able to avoid everything except for two target skills. I also had the shield turned on, so there was no damage. I continued to hit the opponent mage with Chain Lightning while avoiding the spearman¡¯s attacks with evasion skills and full control. Because the skill casting speed is faster than the time the stun is released, it was difficult for the opponent to even move, let alone casting the skill, in the infinite stunned state. [All] aoko1: Ah [All] aoko1: Fuck The opponent who was hit with Chain Lightning 9 times in a row by me died without even trying to do anything. Now that the ranged dealer is dead, the situation is much more comfortable than before. Even so, my defense was weak, so there was a risk of death if the spearman got too close. He did not slow down, and this time I used one of the flame magic, the Flamer. With a blazing sound effect, a hot diamond-shaped fire spread around my character. This skill, which looks like shooting a flamethrower, was one of the best ranged skills, especially when dealing with characters close-up. While the fire was being shot, the spearman character, who was running towards the flamer skill that continued to give a stiffening effect and deal damage per second, staggered and began to bleed quickly. There was nothing more to do. Even if I just keep charging and shoot, the spearman will never stick to me. Perhaps the opponent realized that too, and when he had about 30% of his stamina left, he started running away in a hurry. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ??? Will you let me go, bastard. I recast the Chain Lightning that killed the mage by chatting like a joke and using it on the spearman. It certainly took less damage than the mage, but you can¡¯t escape because you¡¯re caught in CC anyway, so you can use it again and again like before. Kkeahak! In the final attack, the spearman also collapsed next to Mage. After winning the 2:1 match, I felt relieved and leisurely picked up the items that had fallen on the floor. When you die in field PVP, you have a chance to drop the item you are wearing. The Mage dropped the staff he was using, and the spearman dropped the bracelet accessory with the movement speed increase embedded in it. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Instead of being behind the scenes and cursing around, [All] I¡¯m sleepy: Improve your skills Compared to the experience of fighting Yoo Chae, it was quite trivial. Still, I¡¯ve relieved my stress, so it doesn¡¯t matter. I should just feed the items I picked up to my better equipment. The staff or bracelets or what I had was better, but I don¡¯t know why I have to return it after going through this humiliation. ¡®I¡¯m not going to do additional quests; I¡¯ll just go do something else.¡¯ I came here to hunt with all my heart in mind, but I lost interest after meeting these kinds of people. That was when I was going to use the return scroll to go back to Veritas city. There was a strong sense of foreboding. ¡°¡­¡­!¡± As soon as the evasion skill was pressed, the screen flashed bright red as a hit mark. I quickly rolled down the floor with only 30% of my stamina left, and I turned the view of the screen to the right. [All] Significant: Oou [All] Significant: Avoid this Dozens of swords falling from the sky. It was the ultimate skill of the Warlord. A bleeding indicator appears next to your health, and your recovery is incredibly slow. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ? On the other side stood a white character from head to toe. Judging by the twinkling black and golden colors he was holding; it must have been a level 9 weapon. It was the guild master of the guild. No wonder no one said anything, did you guys even whine through the guild chat? ¡®But why did the Gil-ma come here?¡¯ My head hurt all over because it was ridiculous(or outrageous). Shit, you¡¯re worse than Yoo Chae. [All] Significant: ????? It was not a joke to say hello as if I was a friend you haven¡¯t seen in a long time. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: What are you doing? [All] Significant: what do you mean [All] Significant: Vengeance As soon as that chat opened, something blue flew towards me and hit me. The Evasion skill was on cooldown, so I tried moving as much as possible, but was in no avail. It seemed to be an unavoidable target skill. The rest of the blood was swept away in an instant, and the screen turned gray. Ugh, my character, who collapsed while spitting out a flurry, dropped the staff out of the many wearable items. [All] Significant: ?????? [All] Ganbok: Ah, stop playing [All] Ganbok: Save me quickly ??; Ignoring the chat of the other guild member, the ¡®significant¡¯ man walked up to me and picked up the staff. [All] Significant: what is this [All] Significant: I thought it was garbage [All] Significant: Luck 2? You¡¯re using a pretty expensive one? ¡®¡­¡­Expensive?¡¯ I definitely searched the auction house when I received it? Did I search for something different from the one I have? [All] Significant: Why didn¡¯t you come to our guild when we asked you to? [All] Significant: Anyway, this happened either way [All] Significant: Then, I¡¯m taking this staff? ¡°Ha¡­¡­¡± [All] Significant: or [All] Significant: You can Join the guild now? [All] Significant: I¡¯ll give the staff back ??? ¡®Why do these bastards keep blaming the guild from the beginning...¡­¡­¡­ .¡¯ I rubbed the back of my neck, which had become stiff due to fever, a couple of times with my hand, and chatted with an irritated smile. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: fuck you bastard Even if I stayed dead longer, I wanted to see only bullshit, so I risked the experience and gold loss and pressed for the central city''s resurrection. My character, which was resurrected with half its stamina in the middle of a plaza crowded with numerous users, had both hands empty unlike usual. After suffering a painful defeat, my stomach was boiling hot. I got up from his seat, took out cold water from the refrigerator, and drank it gully. After drinking a bottle of 500 mL of bottled water, I returned to the computer and clicked End Recording. I managed to not cry, barely swallowing the rising resentment, and gradually cleared up the situation. So, what I need to do now is¡­ ¡®Of course, you should get your staff back, damn it.¡¯ Whose weapons these bastards dare to take. It¡¯s even expensive. I thought I would have to get my staff back and kill Fever Gilma to loosen up a bit. [Yoo Ji-han: Yo] [Yoo Ji-han: What is Luck 2?] [Yoo Ji-han: Please explain] First of all, I left a question in a personal message to Kim Dae-seok, returned to the Zenoris screen and opened the friend window. The hand on the keyboard hesitated for a moment, but then moved without hesitation. ?Yoo Chae¡´Invitation¡µ When I wrote the nickname of Yoo Chae in the Add Friends window, the guy was added to the friend list. After waiting like that for about a minute, a message popped up in the lower right corner indicating that Yoo Chae was logged in, and a message flew in urgently. [Yoo Chae: Hyung?] [Yoo Chae: Hyung, are you alright?] [Yoo Chae: Now, Hyung was the first to take the initiative to be friends with me?] "Haa¡­¡­¡­.¡± I sighed heavily when I saw the guy who was excited about adding a few friends and running around. After I made friends with him and didn¡¯t say anything, Yoo Chae-nim sent another message. [Yoo Chae: What¡¯s wrong?] [Yoo Chae: What¡¯s going on?] This was worth a try. I pressed my hand over my swollen eyes and chatted. [I¡¯m sleepy: Hey] [I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m thinking of using you.] CH 22 [Yoo Chae: Yees] [Yoo Chae: I am okay with it] ¡®¡­Does he understand me right now?¡¯ I shakily asked at the unexpected answer. [I¡¯m sleepy: ?] [I¡¯m sleepy: What¡¯s okay] [Yoo Chae: You can use me!] [Yoo Chae: Do as much as you want] [Yoo Chae: I don¡¯t care] [I¡¯m sleepy: ????] [I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s ridiculous;] [I¡¯m sleepy: I know what you¡¯re going to say] [Yoo Chae: You can really do anything] Come on. He doesn¡¯t seem to know that the world is scary. I laughed at the obedient Yoo Chae. [I¡¯m sleepy: Then] [I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯ll give you some money] [Yoo Chae: How much?] How much? Uh¡­¡­¡­. [I¡¯m sleepy: One.. 100,000 won?] [Yoo Chae: Please give your account number] [I¡¯m sleepy: ??? 200,000 won] [Yoo Chae: your account] [I¡¯m sleepy: 50] [Yoo Chae: Account] ¡°¡­¡­¡± Let¡¯s give up. There¡¯s no use in doing this. [I¡¯m sleepy: what are you doing now] [I¡¯m sleepy: If you¡¯re not busy, let¡¯s talk] [Yoo Chae: Yesyesyes] [Yoo Chae: I am completely free!!] [I¡¯m sleepy: Somewhere] First of all, since I lost the staff that Yoo Chae gave me, I have to explain the situation. But why doesn¡¯t he answer? [Yoo Chae: Well] [Yoo Chae: Will Hyung come here?] [I¡¯m sleepy: oo] [Yoo Chae: If you wait for an hour, I¡¯ll be there.. ??] [I¡¯m sleepy: ?] [I¡¯m sleepy: Are you free?] [Yoo Chae: I¡¯m free] [I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s okay if you¡¯re busy] [Yoo Chae: No..] [Yoo Chae: I¡¯m not busy ???] What exactly do you want to do? I¡¯m starting to get annoyed right now. [I¡¯m sleepy: ¨D ¨D?] Yoo Chae, who was hesitant when I sent a concise chat with many meanings, sent an answer after a while. [Yoo Chae: That Pherocco Lighthouse..] If it was Pherocco Lighthouse, it was a place I had stopped by before to join the Early Evening guild. It¡¯s also the place where I first met Yoo Chae. Having recovered all the stamina that had been cut by the city resurrection, I went straight to the Pherocco Lighthouse. As the screen changed, a lively BGM unique to Pherocco Island was heard. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung?_? The character of Yoo Chae, who was walking around the lighthouse building, rushed towards me. On top of the Yoo Chae character I haven¡¯t seen in a long time, the figure of Cotton Candy Fox character is half reflected. [All] Drink some water: ?? [All] Let¡¯s do it: Eh What? [All] Haerun: Am I dreaming right now? Next to the lighthouse building, there were not only Yoo Chae but also guild members from the Early Evening. He asked me to wait for an hour, and apparently it¡¯s because there was a guild job. ¡®You said you were free, this bastard...¡¯ Once we¡¯ve met, I have to say hello. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? [All] Haerun: Did you come to meet Gilma? [All] Let¡¯s do it: Why do you always fight with Gilma-nim here? [All] Let¡¯s do it: Just bursting with curiosity [All] I¡¯m sleepy: No [All] I¡¯m sleepy: I didn¡¯t come here for blood [All] Drink some water: ?? [All] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung came to see me ???? [All] I¡¯m sleepy : No [All] Yoo Chae:? [All] Drink some water: ???? [All] Haerun: huk?????? It is true that I came to see Yoo Chae, but the reason was that I had something to say about a guild anyway. No matter how crazy the opponent is, it is a guild that ranks third on the server in the end. It¡¯s not any other game, but in RPG, I had to have enough power to kill them and get the items back. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: You came to see me, right? [All] Yoo Chae: There¡¯s no one here, who¡¯s close to Hyung as me [All] Yoo Chae: You came to see me ?_?!! Whoa, that¡¯s noisy. And strictly speaking, no one here is close to me. [All] Drink some water: But what really happened?? [All] Drink some water: Did you two make up? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: No [All] I¡¯m sleepy: I lost that weapon [All] I¡¯m sleepy: I want to get it back [All] Drink some water: ? [All] I¡¯m sleepy: That¡¯s why I called you [All] Let¡¯s do it: A weapon?? [All] Haerun: A staff?;; [All] Drink some water: Losing the staff..? Judging from the reaction, these people already know that the staff that Yoo Chae gave is an expensive weapon. [All] I¡¯m sleepy: oo [All] Yoo Chae: ?? [All] Yoo Chae: To whom? ¡®Well¡­¡­¡¯ I was embarrassed, so I touched the corner of my mouth for nothing, and then started talking. When I went on an additional quest, I got into an argument with a member of the Fever guild, and I was attacked by another member, died, and I lost the staff. As soon as I finished my explanation, Yoo Chae immediately started chatting. [Party] Yoo Chae: Join the guild, Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Let¡¯s start reaching towards max level. [Party] Let¡¯s do it: Oh, I¡¯m all over it, fuck it [Party] Haerun: But Gilma-nim [Party] Haerun: You gave a surprisingly normal answer. [Party] Let¡¯s do it: For reals, I thought I¡¯m going to turn my eyes around???? [Party] Haerun: Fever bastards need to be beaten more ???? [Party] Yoo Chae: I¡¯m sleepy, I hate things like that [Party] Let¡¯s do it: ??.. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Why are you pretending to know? [Party] Yoo Chae: Of course it¡¯s possible for me to solve it for you. [Party] Yoo Chae: It¡¯s not impossible That¡¯s... that¡¯s right. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: oo [Party] Chae Yoo: Doesn¡¯t Hyung want to kill them himself? That too¡­ yes I do. [Party] Yoo Chae: For now, let¡¯s start with doing raid and reaching the max level You¡¯re not even pretending to not know; when you actually know me really well. But this guy...¡­¡­¡­. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: What are you doing? In response to my question, Yoo Chae, who was sitting quietly with both knees on the ground, made a dark sound and expressed a cry of emotion. [Party] Yoo Chae: Because of me [Party] Yoo Chae: Those bastards are fucking disgusting. ???huk [Party] Yoo Chae: So I¡¯ll kneel down and apologize!>.< [Party] Let¡¯s do it: Look at this guy, who¡¯s too confident [Party] Haerun: Are you apologizing for making me lose my temper? ?? [Party] Yoo Chae: It¡¯s not my fault [Party] Yoo Chae: The bastards who killed my Hyung are a problem ¡°¡­¡­¡± This unlucky guy... should I be annoyed even if it sounds right? [Party] Haerun: No ?? [Party] Haerun: Ever since I first met Sleepy [Party] Haerun: I have been hyping up myself till now; [Party] Let¡¯s do it: the guy, who had smashed him back then, is still same No matter how much the guild members teased him, Yoo Chae steadfastly maintained his kneeling posture. It was then that the Water-nim returned after she had been away for a while. [Party] Drink some water: I checked [Party] Drink some water: The Gilma seems to still have staff [Party] Drink some water: He said he¡¯ll strengthen it and give it to some newbie. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Newbie? [Party] Drink some water: they want to participate in the preliminary round there too [Party] Drink some water: Looks like they had a newbie It seems that the new Fever Guild is also a Dark Mage. As I nodded, I suddenly heard a door open. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: But [Party] I¡¯m sleepy. How did you get such information? [Party] Drink some water: ???? [Party] Drink some water: I have a sub account in Fever guild [Party] Drink some water: It¡¯s been quite a while, so I guess it¡¯s still a member of the guild ??? Wow, you even planted a spy? Multiple accounts are great. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: if you want to get the staff back [Party] Yoo Chae: Enter the guild and participate in the preliminary round [Party] Drink some water: oo [Party] Drink some water: Because we were having a meeting before the preliminary ?? [Party] Drink some water: the timing is good...¡­. [Party] Drink some water: I¡¯m not just saying this but [Party] Drink some water: If you don¡¯t want to do it, you don¡¯t have to do it [Party] Drink some water: I don¡¯t know if the newbie who received the staff equipped it or not; [Party] Yoo Chae: The preliminary round is not like before [Party] Yoo Chae: It¡¯s large, so if possible, all guild members should participate. [Party] Yoo Chae: Newbie who received the staff will also come unconditionally if they want a fight with us [Party] Yoo Chae: I¡¯ll kill him then [Party] Yoo Chae: Until the staff becomes dead lol The guild can participate in the preliminary round only if a newbie who has just created an account joined their guild. If Fever Guild¡¯s Gilma was certain to give the staff to the newbie, the round would be their only chance to get the staff back. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, think of it as a good thing [Party] Yoo Chae: You can just join us and participate in the round?? [Party] Yoo Chae: They said they¡¯ll give it back too [Party] Yoo Chae: Oh thank you so much [Party] Yoo Chae: Let¡¯s go with that ?_? [Party] Let¡¯s do it: For real ?????? [Party] Let¡¯s do it: This is going to be so sweet It sounds like an easygoing idea, and to be honest, I have a similar opinion. Anyway, the conclusion is set. Those bastards will die, and I will get my staff back. If they can even strengthen it in the meantime, it¡¯s fine for me too. [Party] Yoo Chae: That¡¯s right [Party] Yoo Chae: Join the guild quickly! Yoo Chae couldn¡¯t stand it and sent a message asking me to join the guild. As soon as I filled out the application form, a notification window popped up saying that the completion of the registration was successful. Were you waiting for me to apply? [Guild] Bright Clouds: ??? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Eh? [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Huh? ?? [Guild] Mocha Bread: What? What? What? [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: Is that the same Sleepy-nim that I¡¯m thinking of? As soon as I entered the guild, chats of guild members flowed up through the activated guild chat window. In the end, I came back here. It¡¯s frustrating and funny at the same time. I laughed and sent a greeting in the guild chat. [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Hello [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: it¡¯s nice to be with you guys again. ?? [Guild] Haerun: Fuck ????????? [Guild] Bright Clouds: ???????????? [Guild] Drink some water: ??????? [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: Ah ?? you¡¯re a newbie ? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Yes ?? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Oh, that¡¯s funny fuck ????? [Guild] Capital born monster: So how did the situation become like this ???? [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: Can¡¯t you see? [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: He ended up with Gilma-nim CH 23 The guild members, who had been making a lot of noise among themselves saying they were going to die earlier, sent me a question to see if they had come to their senses too late. [Guild] Mocha Bread: So [Guild] Mocha Bread: Is Sleepy-nim really going to stay? [Guild] Mocha Bread: For real, coming to our guild [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Yes¡ª ¡ª [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: Huk [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: ???? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Why don¡¯t you think about it again? [Guild] Haerun: ?? Then ok [Guild] Haerun: Gilma declared the battle [Guild] Haerun: On the guild, who asked sleepy-nim to join.. [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: did you two make up? [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: all of a sudden, they made up [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: it¡¯s kinda fascinating I¡¯m definitely sure that this guild member wants to do what these bastards do. But how do I say this? I met the Fever Guild and lost the staff to that Gilma... Do I have to explain it to them? ¡®It¡¯s a little vague.¡¯ Just as Early Evening put a sub account in the Fever Guild, there may be at least one Fever Guild member here. Currently, the number of guild members connected to the guild is about 30, including absences. It was late at night, so most of the people were out. Above all, the guild chat was very dangerous because it could be viewed while away or offline. Let¡¯s not make hasty judgments. You can get your staff back only if you act carefully without making any mistakes. As soon as I finished worrying, a whisper flew in. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: The staff incident [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I think it would be better not to say about it in Guild chat. I was surprised to hear Yoo Chae had thought the same thing as me and sent a reply. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: oo [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: I guess that would be better It¡¯s okay until you join the guild in Early Evening. Fever probably thinks that I ran away to the powerful guild out of fear or anger. It doesn¡¯t matter what they think. The important thing is that I am targeting the staff. If this goes to Fever, they will never wear the staff from the start of the Competition. Then, the opportunity to kill the opponent newbie and get the staff back will be blown away. For now, it¡¯s better for only Yoo Chae, Drink some water, I¡¯m getting lazy and Haerun to know. They must be reliable guild members to participate in the selection meeting. Hmm, hide the staff incident for now. What excuse should I have for coming back in the Early Evening? After staring into the air for a while with my hand on the keyboard, I quickly made a decision. It¡¯s very annoying. Let¡¯s just rough it out. [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Yes [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m actually reconciled with Yoo Chae [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: ? [Guild] Mocha Bread: ? [Guild] TheHunter: Huh? For real eh? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: This isn¡¯t anime? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: A while ago [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: We¡¯re close friends now [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: ??? [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: Wow.. it must be real [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: I¡¯m sure you two would have made up [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: If Sleepy-nim says so, then it¡¯s real ?? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Huk ????? [Guild] Haerun: Gilma-nim got lucky haha [Guild] Drink some water: Think whatever Fortunately, people who knew about the staff incident pretended not to know. Everyone has a good eye. Yoo Chae asked me, ignoring the chat of the guild members. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: Which raid should we go for? ?.? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Shelton [Guild] Yoo Chae: it¡¯s getting late today [Guild] Yoo Chae: Are you going? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Come with me! [Guild] Drink some water: Oh Shelton? [Guild] Drink some water: Newbies have to go to Shelton too. [Guild] Drink some water: Have a good day, it seems like we can all participate in it??? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: What kind of newbie is good to join the guild? [Guild] Drink some water: oo [Guild] Drink some water: It''s a buffer Well, since I wasn¡¯t there, they must have needed another newbie to participate in the preliminary round. [Guild] Drink some water: But not now. [Guild] Drink some water: I think I¡¯ll come in the afternoon [Guild] Mocha Bread: Very nice??? [Guild] TheHunter: It¡¯s like¡­ how should I say this? [Guild] TheHunter: Compared to Gilma-nim, you are at the polar opposite; [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: oh Anyway, I am now in a situation where I have to participate in the preliminary round as a member of Early Evening, so there was nothing wrong with putting in little information. ¡®Besides, it¡¯s a buffer.¡¯ Thanks to Cotton Candy Fox, I desperately realized how helpful the existence of a buffer is in battle. In particular, the longer the skill cooldown and the more restrictive jobs like Dark Mage, the sweeter the buff felt. "Huh? But wait...¡± Come to think of it, Cotton Candy Fox is Yoo Chae, right? This bastard... By the way, did he ask me where I should go to raid? He¡¯s so obvious. I was going to skip it today, but I¡¯m so annoyed that I can¡¯t. [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: But I [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Raid is good ? [Guild] Yoo Chae: ?? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: There¡¯s a party when I went to Keyrent last time [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: We¡¯re so very close to each other [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: I really liked doing it with them^ [Guild] Drink some water: ???????????? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Fuck?????????? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: ???.. [Guild] Mocha Bread: ??..; I laughed out loud looking at Yoo Chae, who couldn¡¯t say anything in embarrassment. You never dreamed it would be like this, did you? Good, you bastard. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung then [Guild] Yoo Chae: If those people don¡¯t come in there [Guild] Yoo Chae: Are you doing it with us? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Right? You¡¯re going to do it with me? ?_? ¡°¡­¡­¡± I was at a loss for words after reading Yoo Chae¡¯s chat that came up after a long time. ¡®If you¡¯re going to hide your identity, do your best at least, you idiot.¡¯ Grabbing my throbbing, aching forehead, I let out a sigh. I would rather he openly say, ¡®Actually, I¡¯m Cotton Candy Fox. Hyung!¡¯ It was better to shout it out loud. He said that they had made up, so I can¡¯t even swear... [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Why do we have to go together ??; [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯ll just do it with the others like I used to [Guild] Yoo Chae: Oh no [Guild] Yoo Chae: Please do it with me [Guild] Yoo Chae: With me! ?? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Come on Fuck [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m going with the other members [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: I don¡¯t think that will happen [Guild] Yoo Chae: Where would I go without my Hyung?! [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Oh my wow~ [Guild] Haerun: ?????????? [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: Ah Fuck ?????????? [Guild] Drink some water: That¡¯s what you call a great pure love; [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: Maybe from now on [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: Gilma-nim, do I have to keep watching you do that? [Guild] Haerun: oo [Guild] Mocha Bread: Oh, I want to raid already.. [Guild] TheHunter: Since you two had made up now [Guild] TheHunter: how about adding each other as friends [Guild] Bright Clouds: Oh you thinking big now [Guild] Drink some water: ??? [Guild] Drink some water: Let¡¯s add each other as friends [Guild] Drink some water: Chat with your friend [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: Our gilma-nim [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: has a lot of time afterall [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: These days, in today¡¯s world¡­ [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: If you have a lot of time, it¡¯s over. [Guild] Haerun: I agree ¡®Is that what you¡¯re focused on right now?¡¯ After being in doubt for a while, I soon was convinced by the other person¡¯s username. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung~ [Guild] Yoo Chae: My face looks pretty too. ??? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Ah ?? talking openly now aren¡¯t you ?? [Guild] Haerun: I can¡¯t even call it [Guild] Haerun: talking openly ??? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: between me and strangers [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: how to add each other as friends [Guild] Yoo Chae: Shall we go together? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: get out of your fantasies and come back to reality; [Guild] Yoo Chae: Will you be friends with me in real life? >_< [Guild] Are you sleepy: ? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Oh~ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Oh~ [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Anyone who hasn¡¯t done the Crusade quest yet? [Guild] Mocha Bread: Oh~ [Guild] TheHunter: That¡¯s ?? ¡°Ha, damn it....¡± What the hell is wrong with that bastard. I just can¡¯t. Now let¡¯s get rid of all the bullshit. [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Anyway [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Let¡¯s talk about Raid again tomorrow ? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Yes Even if I said that, I knew that in the end we would go around the raid together, as I knew Yoo Chae was capable of doing that. In retrospect, it doesn¡¯t really change anything. [Guild] Drink some water: If you¡¯re going to do it with us [Guild] Drink some water: tell us in advance [Guild] Drink some water: I have to ask that newbie if I get the chance [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: ok ok After sending the reply, I checked the time. It was already past 2 in the morning. In order to go to work part-time after waking up and exercise, I had to wash up and go to bed. [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: I have to go to bed [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯m tired [Guild] Drink some water: bai bai bai [Guild] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim, good night [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: bai bai [Guild] Haerun: The situation where the ¡®I¡¯m sleepy¡¯ said I¡¯m sleepy ??? [Guild] Haerun: Huk???????? [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: ?.. [Guild] Mocha Bread: What the fuck [Guild] Let¡¯s do it: What the hell Guild member Haerun¡¯s guild contribution has been changed to 0 points. [Guild] Haerun: Eh? [Guild] I¡¯ll take care of you: ??????????? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: ?????????? [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: It¡¯s like a fucking knife alright ???????????? ¡°¡­¡­¡± Crazy people...¡­¡­¡­ I deleted the goodnight reply I wrote in the chat window with the backspace and quietly quit Zenoris. CH 24 - Hey, sorry for not replying yesterday. Kim Dae-seok contacted me the day after I joined Early Evening Guild. As I was about to leave the house to go to work after wearing sneakers, I got a call from Kim Dae-seok. - I only returned late in the morning yesterday. ¡°It must be so exciting because it¡¯s a vacation.¡± - Yesterday I couldn¡¯t help it! Tae-sung said he brought a girl close to him and introduced her to me! If it¡¯s Tae-sung, isn¡¯t he the guy who studied and drank alcohol at the same time during the exam period? I asked sternly, ¡°So what¡¯s the outcome with the new girl you met?¡± - We decided to be good friends. She was pretty nice. Then that happened. It was the expected result. - Good. Anyway, about what you asked. Kim Dae-seok, who coughed once, reminded me of the staff I had lost yesterday. A weapon with a stat of Lux 2.0. The Fever Guild master, who took it, said it was definitely expensive. - What kind of staff is it? ¡°Solis level 4.¡± -Oh, so it¡¯s going to be expensive? to buy it? ¡°No. I don¡¯t mean to buy...¡­¡± Is it too? I sighed, rubbing my forehead in the rushing fatigue. ¡°I lost it.¡± -Ung? Lost? What? ¡°Solis¡¯ level 4 staff with a stat of Lux. I lost it.¡± - What Kim Dae-seok, who did not understand what I was saying, asked in a stupid voice. - How do you have it? ¡°I got it. As a gift.¡± - What? crazy, from whom? ¡°¡­. there is. The one who always gives me things.¡± - Is it from Early Evening? ¡°¡­¡­¡± Even without an answer, the meaning of the silence was clear. -Wow¡­ oh my........ ¡°Tell me how expensive it is.¡± -What. It¡¯s definitely not the final grade. It¡¯s expensive though. I also don¡¯t know the proper price for mage¡¯s... Maybe 1.6 billion or so? 1.6 billion? So, it¡¯s about 160 million won in cash? - It could be more expensive now. The price is constantly changing, and the price of Lux goes up over time. Crazy. So, have I been carrying around a weapon worth of 1.6 million won without even reaching my max level? -The reason it¡¯s exceptionally expensive compared to others is that it¡¯s difficult to make. To enhance Lux, you need an item called ¡®Erg of Light¡¯, which is only occasionally released through events. ¡°Is it only released through events?¡± - Yep. 1 Luck is cheap. When a user crafts a weapon, there is a certain probability that a staff with 1 luck will appear. But for 2 lucks, you have to use erg, but the success rate is extremely low. Was it around 5% or 6%? ¡°That¡¯s low.¡± -Besides, Erg is sometimes released through events, making it more difficult to succeed. I remembered the first time Yoo Chae handed the Solis staff to me. When I searched the auction house, I remember that the Lux 1.0 Quarterfinal Luna staff was 5,000 gold. So, I need to fix this personality that gives a rough pass on anything that¡¯s been given to me. As I thought about that, I felt something strange and frowned. ¡°Wait, it¡¯s such a difficult reinforcement to succeed, but why isn¡¯t there any explanation on the staff? It just said Lux 2.0.¡± - It¡¯s probably because Lux is a lower job. But Gaeji is a basic job. If you enhance the buff with Lux turned on, the floating coefficient is at least 1.5 times that of the others. ¡°So absurd.¡± -Besides, Solis is a staff with a bit of a price, so when the two are combined, they are more expensive than the others. I also don¡¯t know the buff coefficient exactly, so it¡¯s just for reference. If you want to know properly, I think I¡¯ll have to turn on Zenoris later and ask Gil-won. ¡°You don¡¯t have to. I¡¯ll figure out the rest.¡± This is enough to get basic information. For more details, I¡¯ll throw that information at him and grab that Yoo Chae guy who pretended not to know and ask. - Yes. But how did you lose it? Did it drop when you died? I briefly explained what happened yesterday. Kim Dae-seok, who listened with interest, said with a puzzled look when my story was over. - The situation is messy. Why do you get in situations like this all the time? ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± - Yo yo, you aren¡¯t going to fold it? You survived Early Evening when Gilma was fooling around. Remember the beginner starter pack I bought! ¡°Shut up. I have to go to part-time, so I¡¯m quitting now.¡± I hung up on Kim Dae-seok mercilessly and thought about the staff again. That¡¯s 160 million won. Besides, if you strengthen it, it gets more expensive, and it¡¯s more of a background weapon. ¡°¡­¡­Isn¡¯t this pretty bad?¡± The duet between Cotton Candy Fox and Me, let¡¯s turn the situation around and reach the max level first, and it will come back. My pretty and lovely expensive staff. *** When I returned home from working part-time, I immediately connected to Zenoris after washing up. As soon as the system message stating that I was logged in appeared, the guild chat started pouring in. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung! [Guild] Yoo Chae: Are you here? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung hyung!! [Guild] Yoo Chae: Do you want to go on a raid with me today? This isn¡¯t a dog begging to go for a walk...¡­¡­. [Guild] Mocha Bread: Can you get out of here? [Guild] Mocha Bread: after the preliminary round ?? [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: When the preliminary round is over [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: Are you saying you¡¯re going to get out, Sleepy-nim? [Guild] Haerun: Sleepy-nim ???? [Guild] Yoo Chae: ? [Guild] Mocha Bread: ?? No way, right~ [Guild] Mocha Bread: Loyalty Loyalty ^^7 [Guild] Drink some water: ???? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Hey [Guild] Drink some water: Are you going on a raid? [Guild] Drink some water: There is going to be another newbie coming with us. [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Shelton normal, ?? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: But I [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: I don¡¯t know anything, so you should let me know [Guild] Drink some water: ???? [Guild] Drink some water: Normal is easy if we all DC and do it together [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Shelton? Make room for me [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Please put me in too Sleepy-nim? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: What about me?? Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, of course I am with you, right? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung? [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: Okay, that¡¯s alright; [Guild] Yoo Chae: Yes?_? When will he get sick of me? After checking the equipment, I asked Water. [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: When do we leave? [Guild] Drink some water: Well [Guild] Drink some water: About 15 minutes later? [Guild] Drink some water: Go to Shelton first ?? [Guild] Drink some water: we¡¯ll be there as soon as we can [Guild] I¡¯m sleepy: ???? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: I¡¯m already in front of the dungeon!! [Guild] Haerun: Is it a 7-member party for Shelton? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: First come first serve ??? [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: I¡¯m already in front of the dungeon. ?? [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: what? That¡¯s so fast; I arrived at the entrance of the Shelton dungeon by moving quickly and found the guild members standing among several users. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung! [All] Yoo Chae: Come here! Yoo Chae, who saw me, ran to me and showed empathy with shame along with the party window. I clicked on the party window [111111] above his character to enter the party. [Party] Yoo Chae: ?????? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Sleepy-nim Hi [Party] Haerun: ???? [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: Now let¡¯s wait for Drink some water and the newbie I tried to leave the focus of Yoo Chae on me and opened the inventory window. The original Lux 2.0 Solis staff was taken away, but it was not like I didn¡¯t have any other weapons to use. A guild member from Fever Guild dropped when he died. Although it is a Luna staff, it was worth using it to a certain extent because it¡¯s good for using it in the preliminary round. I wore it first. [Party] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Is that a new staff? As soon as I put on my weapon, Yoo Chae quickly stuck to me and sent me a question. I could feel the dog¡¯s tail rustling behind his back. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Is it strengthened? [Party] Yoo Chae: Shall I take a look at its condition? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Gilma, do your best [Party] Crazy hunting friend: I¡¯m surprised.. [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: ?? [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: Not surprising? [Party] Haerun: oo; I ignored all of Yoo Chae¡¯s words and swung the staff as it was. The staff slapped the head of the character Yoo Chae with a pounding sound. [Party] Yoo Chae: ??? Yoo Chae, who was hit by a single shot without being able to avoid being close, was startled and started chatting. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: you need to be beaten [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes? As I continued to beat Yoo Chae with a flat blow, Yoo Chae, who had quietly endured all the beatings, began to run away. Do you think I¡¯ll stop here? I followed him in a hurry and kept hitting him with a flat blow. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung?.? [Party] Yoo Chae: It hurts! [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung ?? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ?? [Party] Yoo Chae: Huk.. ??? It would hurt, but the difference in specs is already huge, and the main skill deal is a mage, so no matter how hard you hit, the number of deals was only 10 or 20. With this kind of damage, even 200 hits won¡¯t kill you. [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Now you¡¯re trying to catch him [Party] Haerun: Just ignore it and watch YouTube ?? CH 25 Yoo Chae, who had been running away for a while, seemed to have given up completely, so he was slapped with a flat blow while holding me. The damage is weak anyway, so it doesn¡¯t matter if you get hit, right? Unlucky guy. It was at that time when I was so excitedly hitting Yoo Chae. [Guild] I¡¯m Dorahee: Hello ?? [Guild] Drink some water: Huk ?????? [Guild] Haerun: Hey~ [Guild] Mocha Bread: Newcomer-nim, Hi~ [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: hahahaha [Guild] Let¡¯s go all in: Oh Dorahee-nim Hello~ Newcomer? Is the nickname ¡®I¡¯m Dorahee¡¯ the Normal level Buffer this time around? I stopped beating Yoo Chae and asked through the party chat window. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Is he the one who¡¯s a newcomer this time? [Party] Haerun: Yep [Party] Haerun: Username is a kinda weird, but she¡¯s nice. [Party] Crazy hunting friend: ???????? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: ?? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: To what extent, How much? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Even if Gilma twists a poem of anger, she won¡¯t blink an eye.. [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: 00 [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: I can¡¯t even do that ¡®¡­That¡¯s not good, why don¡¯t you just ignore him?¡¯ Rather, it seems that this bastard, Yoo Chae, quarreled with that newbie the same way he did with me. How pathetic. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: you fix your rubbish temper [Party] Yoo Chae: Me? [Party] Yoo Chae: Does that temper make me look like a trash? It was ridiculous to see Yoo Chae pretending not to know. Of course, you are. No one else here who could do that but you. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: o [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: I¡¯m a kind person too???.. ¡°¡­¡­¡± He has always been like that. Let¡¯s not talk anymore. Finally, I swung the staff one more time to remove the character of Yoo Chae, who was clinging next to me. [Guild] Drink some water: We¡¯re going to the Shelton Normal. Would you like to go together? [Guild] Drink some water: There¡¯s a seat empty~ [Guild] I¡¯m Dorahee. Ah [Guild] I¡¯m Dorahee: Hello ?? [Guild] Drink some water: Good [Guild] Drink some water : Go to Shelton entrance ???? As soon as the chat was over, Drink some water appeared in front of us. She, who had just joined the party, asked me. [Party] Drink some water: How are you? [Party] Drink some water: Is it okay for her to raid with us? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: Of course it¡¯s okay [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: The guild members all say she¡¯s nice too. [Party] Drink some water: It¡¯s Rahee¡¯s first-time raiding [Party] Drink some water: Yoo Chae, this bastard, scolded her again Rahee? Is it possible that Dorahee is shortened to Rahee? ¡®Honestly, the username is not unusual. [Party] Yoo Chae: ?? [Party] Yoo Chae: Don¡¯t say bullshit [Party] Yoo Chae: What if our Sleepy Hyung really believes it? [Party] Drink some water: Bullshit is what you are doing right now__; By the way, I wasted so much time, while being absorbed in beating Yoo Chae. I hurriedly sent him a whisper. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: after you raid [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Let me talk to you for a min [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ai Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Our progress is too fast>.< [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: ??Don¡¯t say that [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: the staff you gave me is so damn expensive [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Explain it properly later [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ah, you meant that? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: ?_? Of course that¡¯s what I meant to talk about, what did you misunderstand that for? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Well, Of course I will [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Then when our raid is over. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Are you dating? >///< [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: ; Crazy guy... Why couldn¡¯t I just ask Kim Dae-seok to find out? The regret came too late. [Party] Drink some water: Rahee is buffer and Sleepy is Mage [Party] Drink some water: the combination seems appropriate [Party] Haerun: It¡¯s normal anyway [Party] Haerun: It seems like it won¡¯t be that bad [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: First, let¡¯s go to Discord? [Party] Drink some water :oo [All] I¡¯m Dorahee: Hello ?? Even Dora-hee, the last member of the raid, arrived at the front of the dungeon. After confirming that everyone had gathered, Drink some water posted a link to the dedicated server for the DC Guild in the party chat window. [Party] Drink some water: here??? [Party] Drink some water: Enter the server and look to the left [Party] Drink some water: That¡¯s the Raid Voice Channel [Party] Drink some water: You guys come to raid 3 field [Party] Haerun: Yep [Party] Drink some water: Let¡¯s do it with our mics turned on?? [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: Yep [Party] Drink some water: Sleepy and Rahee [Party] Drink some water: In the group chat room, join now [Party] Drink some water: Wait, the invitation link expired [Party] Drink some water: I¡¯ll make a new one [Party] Drink some water: I¡¯ll invite you around a bit later [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: Ok ok [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: yes I turned on the DC and answered appropriately, but suddenly the object of my current obsession came and sent me a quick whisper. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Sleep [Whisper] Are you sleepy: ? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I¡¯ve been curious since the last time [Whisper] Yoo Chae: It¡¯s Hyung¡¯s real name in Discord, right? Oh, right. I forgot to change it. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: oo [Whisper] Yoo Chae: ??? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Change it quickly. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Why [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Oh, hurry ?? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: It¡¯s nothing... [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: it¡¯s not that precious [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ah, I don¡¯t like it [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I don¡¯t like it! [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Change it quickly. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung please [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: why are you making a fuss with my name? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. don¡¯t you want to change it? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ji-han Hyung... ¡°Ah, Fuck.¡± I got goosebumps at the behavior of Yoo Chae who called my real name, and swear words came out. Are you really a bastard? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: I¡¯ll change it [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Don¡¯t call me that again.. [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: Because it¡¯s fucking... [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes, Ji-han Hyung! ??? [Whisper] I¡¯m sleepy: you fucking bastard After changing the nickname in Discord to ¡®I¡¯m sleepy¡¯ to be the same as Zenoris, I entered the Discord server. Looking through the discord server list, I noticed that everyone had the same nickname as the game nickname. ¡®Well, it¡¯s better to change.¡¯ That way, chatting with other people won¡¯t be too complicated. If not, I¡¯ll have to explain it calmly. Still, why make such a big fuss? All party members except me were in the voice channel. I also turned on the microphone on the headset and joined the voice channel marked ¡®Raid¡¯. Last time, when I DC-ed with Yoo Chae, I was concerned about the situation of being alone in many ways, but there was nothing particularly awkward about a group call like this one. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Sleepy-nim, welcome.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± ¡°So, we are all here, right?¡± ¡°Hello~!¡± In line with the voices, the icons of Haerun, Crazy hunting friend, Park Seung-jin, Drink some water, and I¡¯m Dorahee flickered in turn. Haerun, Crazy hunting friend, and Park Seung-jin were men and Dora-hee was a woman. They introduced each other when they first joined, so I knew she was a woman, but I didn¡¯t know if she¡¯s really a newcomer. Then again, guessing gender based on game nicknames or characters is useless. ¡°Hyung! Are you here?¡± Finally, Yoo Chae, whom I had heard once before, opened his mouth. What are you getting so excited about? I said hello while adjusting the microphone height by hand. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Why did Gilma turn on the microphone?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s because Sleepy-nim came¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± Haerun and Park Seung-jin started to gossip. Hearing that in a real human voice instead of in a chat... It¡¯s terrible. ¡°Shall we go right in?¡± Drink some water said with a slightly husky voice. ¡°Everyone else will be fine¡­ Do you know the strategy to get around Shelton, Sleepy and Rahee?¡± ¡°I did watch the strategy and some videos.¡± ¡°I only saw videos.¡± ¡°Then we can go. It¡¯s normal level anyway, so there¡¯s nothing difficult, so let¡¯s do it like we¡¯re learning this round.¡± At the words of the Drink some water, party leader Haerun selected the normal level and pressed enter immediately. The screen changed and the inside of the dungeon full of bushes was revealed. The difficulty of the Shelton Dungeon wasn¡¯t that high, but it was one of the difficult raids to clear because the road was complicated with trees, tall grasses and monsters appearing so often. So, the more familiar you are with the party members, the easier it is to clear. Just like the Early Evening party I am with. ¡®More than that¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡® I shifted my gaze to the Discord window that was moved to the sub-monitor. Why is Yoo Chae so quiet? I expected you to say something strange, such as being happy to hear your Hyung¡¯s voice again. After the first greeting, the guy remained silent without interfering in the chatter. ¡®If it¡¯s quiet, I¡¯m more comfortable.¡¯ Even though I was thinking about that, I felt a bit uncomfortable, so I stroked the nape of my neck. He¡¯s really an incomprehensible guy. CH 26 ¡°Don¡¯t forget to take the other path on the next turn.¡± Hearing the explanation of Drink some water, I hurriedly fired my skills at the monsters that were flocking together. Even if you participated in the discord voice room, there was no need to talk since this dungeon was new to you, and you were only being carried. It will only interfere with the order. [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: Yep ?? Doing the same thing as me, Dorahee answered through the chat, instead of using a microphone, except when she said hello earlier. Even Yoo Chae didn¡¯t say anything, so the only voices he could hear were Drink some water, Haerun, Park Seung-jin, and cray hunting friend. ¡°Huh? But I¡¯m sleepy-nim, isn¡¯t that the same staff you used to use?¡± Park Seung-jin, who was carefully examining my skill damage, asked in a curious voice. ¡°It looks like it has become very sloppy...¡­¡­¡­¡± ¡°Enng? That¡¯s right.¡± At Park Seung-jin¡¯s words, his brotherhood clashed with me. The two of them did not know that the staff had been taken away, so it was understandable that they reacted like this. ¡®I think most of the guild members know that Yoo Chae gave me a Solis staff with a stat of Lux.¡¯ Does this mean I was the only one who got the staff that all the guild members knew? Anyway, let¡¯s just finish this raid. [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: I don¡¯t like the guy who gave me the staff as a present [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: So, I used something else [Party] Yoo Chae: ????? ????? I was too tired to think of plausible excuses, so when I gave a rough answer, Yoo Chae intervened like crazy. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, if you don¡¯t like, [Party] Yoo Chae: Do you want me to buy you a new one? [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: It¡¯s not like Sleepy-nim has only one staff and [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: You don¡¯t like Gilma-nim, do you? ?? [Party] Yoo Chae: ? ¡°Puhak!¡± After Dorahee¡¯s chat, everyone burst into laughter. I also covered my mouth with my hand and swallowed the laughter that flowed out. [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: ?????????? [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: Perhaps, Gilma-nim is crying? ? [Party] Park Seung-jin 99: Just go a little bit gently with him??~ [Party] Haerun: Right now I¡¯m laughing like a dog on my microphone fuck hahahahahahahaha [Party] Yoo Chae: Why [Party] Yoo Chae: Are you going to say something again.. ?? [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: From what I saw [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: At least, that¡¯s what I thought. [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: Sleepy ??? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ?????????? [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung... [Party] Yoo Chae: That person said something strange to me ;_; When I didn¡¯t take his side, Yoo Chae whined like a sick puppy. Who told you to lie to me? You did it all on your all. ¡°Let¡¯s stop playing around and focus. The middle boss should appear by now.¡± As soon as Drink some water was finished with her words, the ground shook violently with a thud. It was the appearance of the middle boss, Master Lycan. ¡¸A new prey has arrived.¡¹ The low and heavy voice of the Master Lycan echoed along with the growls of the grumbling beast. The werewolf-shaped Master Lycan had little stamina but had an extremely high defense and had a charge, making it one of the most difficult monsters to deal with for a long-distance dealer in many ways. ¡°Let¡¯s go right in.¡± As Drink some water stood in front of the Master Lycan, a twinkling light streamed from above. It was a pure white shield, a weapon of the Holy Knight, which is known as a particularly difficult job among tanks. ¡°Sleepy-nim, it¡¯s more important to be strong and a tank, so you should stay with the buffer.¡± As explained by her, I moved to the side of Dorahee, the buffer, and Haerun, the healer, and started to cast a magic skill. ¡¸I¡¯ll eat every one of you, without leaving a single one!¡¹ It was the line that signaled the start of the first phase of the middle boss. Master Lycan¡¯s body swelled greatly and stood on all fours like a real wolf. He struck a pose that¡¯s taken just before the charge is used. ¡°Don¡¯t stand in a straight line.¡± Drink some water pointed out exactly the important part. The first phase of Master Lycan is mostly filled with charges, unlike the bosses of the Keyrent dungeon, where tanks or mage dealers can attract aggro with attacks. However, since the charge runs in the direction where the designated opponent is, standing behind the person who is near the monster can increase the damage. So, I had to pay as much attention as possible so that the long-distance dealer and the character acting as a buffer were not in a straight line. When Yoo Chae, a mid-range dealer, took out a weapon and swung it once, the golden chain shone brilliantly with the sound of the metal chain clashing. ¡¸Kaaaak!¡¹ Master Lycan, who had been hit by the chain, screamed. Yoo Chae, who took the first aggro, continued to attack while he avoided Master Lycan, who was rushing towards him at high speed, with an evasion skill. ¡®His deals are no joke.¡¯ Compared to my skill damage, which is barely 5 thousand, the number of damage that Yoo Chae does every time he swings his chain is 20,000 by default. When the critical hits, it goes over 30,000. Even though Master Lycan¡¯s defense is quite high, his deals are still over 20,000 damage... He is truly a great guy in many ways. ¡°Now, I¡¯ll continue to fight too.¡± A guild member stepped in between Master Lycan and Yoo Chae at the right time. As an infighter job, the golden guntle stuck in both hands of the character stood out. If one person drags aggro for more than 3 turns, the charge speed only increases for that opponent, so it was better to take turns doing it like a baton touch. That guild member, who took the aggro next to Yoo Chae, smashed the Master Lycan at high speed while wearing the gauntlet, and then widened the distance by back tumbling at the timing of the rush. One of the characteristics of the Infighter was that his attack was heavy compared to his light and agile movements. ¡®Um? It would be dangerous to go that way.¡¯ I kept changing positions and attacking according to the aggro of the guild members, but I noticed that Dora-hee was moving in a dangerous direction. ¡°Rahee, don¡¯t go there, come to me.¡± It was too urgent to have a chat, so I had no choice but to use the microphone. It¡¯s a bit strange to say ¡®Dorahee¡¯ with a real voice, so I called her ¡®Rahee¡¯ like Drink some water. [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: Oh Okay After hearing that, Dorahee turned around and ran towards me. At the same time, Master Lycan roared and rushed into the spot where Dorahee had just been. Also. [Party] This is Dorahee: ?Thank u ?? [Party] Haerun: Sleepy-nim, good gut ?? After all, the precious buffer almost died. Still, I can live comfortably because Dorahee was not stubborn or slow in her hands. Drink some water, it¡¯s worth saying that you brought a nice newcomer. Thinking that I was lucky, I felt glad to be able to avoid Master Lycan¡¯s dash with Dora-hee, who was only following me, but Yoo Chae, who had been quiet the whole time, called me. ¡°Hyu-Hyung.¡± ¡°En?¡± Reflexively, I felt a little embarrassed as I blinked my eyes. Why are you calling me with such a pathetic voice? ¡°Why¨C¡± ¡°it¡¯s nothing¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± Like a plant that withers away, he answered with a wilting energy. What did you suddenly call me? ¡®I really don¡¯t know him even though I know him.¡¯ He evaded Master Lycan who was running towards him, kicking his tongue inwardly. It¡¯s nothing after all, and I can¡¯t ask for more. I have to turn my attention away from him and do what I have to do. *** (Drink some water¡¯s POV) [Whisper] Haerun: This is how the situation turned out right now [Whisper] Haerun: Am I the only one scared? [Whisper] Haerun: ??????? Hearing Haerun¡¯s whisper, he put the microphone aside and sighed quietly. The raid dungeon, which brought in the newcomers, I¡¯m Sleepy and I¡¯m DoraHee, got off to a smooth start, contrary to concerns of Drink some water. But, not surprisingly, things took a strange turn when I¡¯m Sleepy started taking care of Dorahee. [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: I¡¯m sleepy-nim [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: You are doing really good at the game [Party] I¡¯m Dorahee: bb [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ??? [Party] I¡¯m sleepy: ? ? I¡¯m sleepy and I¡¯m Dorahee continued to have small conversations, but I think the awkwardness between them has disappeared because of the experience when they helped each other earlier. And each time, Yoo Chae frantically swung his chain and slashed Master Lycan. [Whisper] Drink some water: Me too... [Whisper] Drink some water: I¡¯m worried.. ? [Whisper] Haerun: For reals [Whisper] Haerun: I¡¯m sleepy-nim, is doing great but he¡¯s¨C [Whisper] Haerun: A little bit weak to women.. you know [Whisper] Haerun: Like what happened with Cotton Candy Fox [Whisper] Haerun: If not, then what?;; [Whisper] Drink some water: Ah it doesn¡¯t really matter If that happened, it would be difficult to see it that way, and Yoo Chae would also become a part of the problem. Even now, it makes Yoo Chae so pissed that the two of them are just chatting while he¡¯s beating monsters. How much worse will it be in the future? Just thinking about it was exhausting. ¡¸You stupid bastards! The fight starts now! ¡¹ The devastated Master Lycan spit out lines that signaled the start of the second phase and summoned dozens of wolves. But before the others could come forward, they were all swept away by Yoo Chae¡¯s chain attack. ¡®That crazy bastard, did you boost your skills before this?¡¯ He must have drunk a potion to increase attack power and increase attack speed since his power was stronger than before. What are you using that precious buff potion for when you¡¯re just dealing with Shelton Normal¡¯s mid boss? ¡®I didn¡¯t know that you would hate seeing him getting along with other users that much¡­¡­¡¯ Park Seung-jin, who was not able to attack properly due to Yoo Chae¡¯s strong ambition, and Crazy hunting friend, who apparently noticed something, sent a whisper to Drink some water. [Whisper] Park Seung-jin 99: What?? [Whisper] Park Seung-jin 99: Gilma, why are you like this? [Whisper] Crazy hunting friend: Is this Gilma¡¯s drug party? After all, I always do this sort of follow-up. I tapped the keyboard with the expression of a Tibetan fox on my account ¡®Drink some water.¡¯ [Whisper] Drink some water: No??, he¡¯s just being a dog like always [Whisper] Drink some water: Anyway, it¡¯s not like what you think, but I¡¯d rather not get involved [Whisper] Park Seung-jin 99: ?? [Whisper] Park Seung-jin 99: It¡¯s better to stay away [Whisper] Crazy hunting friend: Oh ok The Guild members quickly understood the cut-out explanation of ¡°Drink some water¡± and took a step back. It didn¡¯t matter because he was on the normal route and was fighting a mid-boss anyway. After Yoo Chae, who was running wild like an angry dog, killed Master Lycan, I¡¯m sleepy admired Yoo Chae, who had helped him by blowing magic from time to time.
