(Drink some water Noona POV)
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Water
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I want to borrow your sub-account
[Guild] Drink some water: ?
As soon as you log in, you leave aside greetings and suddenly ask to borrow my sub-account. I can’t believe he just asked me like that.
[Guild] Drink some water: Why all of a sudden
[Guild] Yoo Chae: What’s the point of knowing
[Guild] Drink some water: No, Fuck, I don’t. I have to know why you’re going to use my sub-account;;
[Guild] Manaolingnam: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Harn: Big Brain omg
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I just thought that it’s easier to contact through guild chat ㄱ
[Guild] Drink some water: You’re a real bastard ah— —;
[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Is that so?
[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Sleepy-nim? Isn’t it related to him?
[Guild] Mocha Bread: yeah
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Gilma hates our guild lady, so he treats her like the guild’s dog ㅋ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I don’t hate her
[Guild] I’m getting lazy: then what?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Anyway, that’s not it
You’re simply going to say, ‘that’s not it’? Drink some water, who was thinking the same as the other guild members, sighed.
[Guild] Drink some water: You said you were rethinking, so I deliberately didn’t hire newbies and waited.
[Guild] Drink some water: Now you made the situation more worse and
[Guild] Drink some water: This is what happened
[Guild] Harn: But honestly
[Guild] Harn: If I was Sleepy-nim, I just simply want to play a game here you know..
[Guild] Harn: it’s better to not do this omg
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Even if I get back Sleepy Hyung, I wouldn’t participate
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Why are you all getting fucking excited about this?
[Guild] Drink some water: ?????
[Guild] Drink some water: So, what happened to that mess yesterday?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: It went fine so just send okay sub-account details already ㄱ
That little bastard… I’ve known Yoo Chae for quite a while, but I couldn’t help but feel emotional every time this kind of stuff happened.
[Guild] Drink some water: Ah, I’ll give it to you, so just tell me
[Guild] Drink some water: Can I add a new newbie?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: do whatever you want
That was a reply from a guy, who didn’t even have an interest in guild work.
[Guild] Drink some water: Fk you always tell me to wait without asking about my thoughts
[Guild] Drink some water: What the heck is really wrong with you?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Originally, you see our Sleepy Hyung
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I can’t get my way with him and that’s a charm haha
[Guild] Harn: omg
[Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Manaolingnam: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Blegh
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Water-nim ㅠㅠ Bear with himㅠㅠ
I grinded my teeth, pressing the backspace to erase the cursing I filled in all the way up to the end of the chat input box, just right after Bright Cloud’s message.
In the end, Yoo Chae didn’t care about the selection, and only had the thought of how to get back that Sleepy-nim.
I thought that he was trying to bring that Sleepy guy to win the selection safely. What the hell is that newbie?
[Guild] Let’s do this: En, But Gilma-nim
[Guild] Let’s do this: if it’s Water-nim’s, then it’s her sub-account? Cotton Candy Fox?
[Guild] Let’s do this: isn’t it female chara
[Guild] Drink some water: It’s a female chara
The sub account ‘Cotton Candy Fox,’ which was raised by Drink Some Water in the past, was a pretty buffer character with fox ears.
This account was created for the purpose of playing whenever she was bored, since she did not have many clothes to wear due to being a tanker.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: yeah so can I borrow it?
[Guild] Drink some water: It’s not even at max level
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Doesn’t matter
[Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋjust wanted to ask you
[Guild] Harn: You’re not borrowing the account to play with Sleepy-nim, are you?
Yoo Chae remained silent without answering Harn’s question. As the silence grew longer, it was the guild members who went crazy.
[Guild] Harn: No ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: He was caught ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Mocha Bread: You should have done a good job when you had the chanceㅉㅉ
[Guild] Let’s do this: Water-nim, he’s just fulfilling his own desires with your sub-account;;
[Guild] Manaolingnam: Are you a stalker? ㅠㅠ
[Guild] Manaolingnam: What kind of Gilma is chasing only after the newbie..ㅉㅉ
[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Then...from the beginning...
[Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋhonestly, a little of a stalker-ish mode;;
Laughter and accusations soared fiercely. Yoo Chae, who was looking at it without any response, made a brief chat.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: First 4 people to arrive can join
[Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅋㅋㅋme;
[Guild] Let’s do this: me me me me
[Guild] Manaolingnam: ㅅHanded
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Park Seung-jin98’s ready
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Are you at max level??
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I’m currently at full level, but that other account is not ㄴㄴ
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Ready with Suwon Special City
[Guild] Let’s go all in: How many times are you going to let that bastard have your sub-account;
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Then I’ll be adding Cotton Candy Fox as a friendㄱ
I was shocked by Yoo Chae’s behavior of taking someone else’s sub-account as if it were his. I wanted to change my password abruptly, but I couldn’t afford the chaos of Chae Yoo that might come after me.
‘My life...……… ‘
After leaving the guild chatting window behind, I turned on the internet and moved to the Zenoris user cafe. It was time to find a newbie.
***
It’s been a week since I have been playing solo without joining any guild. After I barely managed to get to level 215 from the field raid dragon hunting quest, I bowed my head down in vain.
‘I have to do a dungeon raid.’
In case of dungeon raids, they are often done by high-level users as they drop expensive items or weapons, but there was always a shortage of items or weapons.
Above all, in order to clear it easily, all the users, who entered, had to do their job to some extent, so a fresh beginner like me, with no experience, was unfortunately not good enough.
It’s the truth that no matter how much strategy and videos I looked into, it would do no good for me since my experience was low. Occasionally, there are a few parties that ask beginners to come in because it’s okay, but it was not easy to participate because the seats filled up quickly.
‘This is why I need a guild.’
Because of this situation, most guilds are willing to help with dungeon raid quests when newbies come in.
The newbies grew up learning raids from the guild members, and the guild members mutually benefited from this because they were going hunting anyway.
I was aiming for such a scenario and tried to join the guild for that too.
‘Yoo Chae, you bastard......’
It was very depressing to see that I leveled up only 3 levels after a week of hard work. The ten days where I spent to reach level 200 seemed like a lie.
[Key.Dawn/7 reel/1 tank 3 deal 2 support/max level welcome] 6/6
[Paywall/3 reel/max] 7/12
[Key.Dawn/3 reel/1 tank 4 deal 1 heal/max level/newbie wanted] 5/6
[Loeb / 10 reel / 6 deal 1 heal 1 / speed up / high welcome] 6/8
When I looked at the party titles posted on the raid bulletin board, I could only sigh.
It was possible to raise the level without doing a dungeon raid, but then, I would have to catch hundreds of field mobs to just level up once.
‘Should I just go back to how I was doing?’
I’m sure I’ll get kicked out from the party but I’m still going to try………
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: over here
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: I’m Sleepy-nimㅇㅅㅇ
It was the moment when I almost made an extreme choice because I was blinded by the party list. Standing tall in front of the raid bulletin board, a user, whom I saw for the first time, came up to me and began chatting with me.
[All] I’m Sleepy: ?
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Do you have a partyㅇ.ㅇ?
What’s this. I haven’t been feeling well since before, so I scratched my eyebrows and glanced at the character.
Light brown hair and cat ears… No, are they fox ears? Anyway, she was a female character with strange animal ears. Her clothes were also very glamorous, with a light blue skirt and sparkling ornaments attached.
[All] I’m Sleepy: Why do you ask
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Ahㅠㅠ Me too
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: If you don’t have a party, can you join us? ㅠ.ㅠ
“…...?”
Uh, what? Party? Party? My body, which was limp like a squid on land, stood up quickly.
[All] I’m Sleepy: Where is the party is going?
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Keyrant Dungeon><
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Right now, it’s 1 tank, 2 deal, so 2 more people to join
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: One spot is vacant for the long-distance dealer 8_8
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Looking at the staff, I think you are a mage
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Please, let’s join together!!>ㅡ<
If it was a Keyrant, it was the dungeon I had to go to. It’s a complete gain for me too. I was about to say yes in a hurry, but I paused.
‘Wait a minute. But this...… ‘
If you think I’m at max level and suggested joining you?
[All] I’m Sleepy: I’m not at max level
[All] I’m Sleepy: And it’s the first time I am doing this, so I might cause trouble for you guys
[All] I’m Sleepy: Is that okay?
It’s not a problem to deceive them, but in the end, I had to ask honestly. Please say okay. Say it’s okay.
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Come it’s okay~ hahahaha
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox isn’t at max level either>0<
After waiting for an answer full of anticipation, I was able to smile comfortably this time.
[All] I’m Sleepy: Yep let’s go
[All] Cotton Candy Fox: Hahaha, Please come to the party~
Cotton Candy Fox opened a party window over her head. The party name was [123123].
It’s not a public party that collects users from the Raid bulletin board, so it must be a friend party. When I pressed the party window, the part chat window was activated with a ringing sound.
The party chat window has been activated.
[Party] Suwon Special City: Ah I feel like throwing up
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: fr
[Party] Suwon Special City: Ah
[Party] What Do You Soy Milk: haha hello~!
[Party] Let’s go witcher: hi hi
[Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Hiyo~
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Hello
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahaha
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Shall we go then?^-^
[Party] Suwon Special City: Yep~^^;;
Fortunately, the party atmosphere was exceptionally good. When we went through the portal and moved in front of the dungeon entrance, we gathered in a place with pretty decent weapons in our hands.
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahaha I’m Sleepy-nim~
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Yes?
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: username’s a bit long, so I want to shorten it, is that okay?
[Party] I’m Sleepy: I don’t care
You have helped me after all. So, just call me whatever you want.
In order not to cause any inconvenience as much as possible, Cotton Candy Fox expressed her embarrassment when I replied half-heartedly by rechecking the equipment. Yoo Chae used that one last time too.
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Then
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa, is that okay?>.<
“……”
Suddenly, my hand on the keyboard, flinched at seeing the word oppa. What are you talking about……
[Party] I’m Sleepy: ?
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Do you know how old I am to call me Oppa?
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I’m young! I’m sure it’s Oppa?? ㅎ.ㅎ
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: What’s the big deal???
What kind of dogshit logic is this?
Thanks to that baseless oppa title, I changed my long-held doubts into certainty.
Cotton Candy Fox, this kid is definitely a man.
‘Does netkamas [1] stick to newbies too these days?’
After confirming that the equipment was all in good condition, I replied carelessly.
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Do whatever you want
[Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahahaha
