20.
After I successfully completed Hell, the last difficulty of the Keyrent Dungeon yesterday, I was able to hit level 220 without any problems. I hit a record of the splendor of raising 5 levels in four days.
But it’s hard. Since you cleared each difficulty mode at least two or three times at most, it was worth raising about 5 levels. Still, considering last week where I was still at level 215 for a week, this speed was pretty good.
‘Shelton is the next raid dungeon.’
We had beaten all the difficulty modes of Keyrent, so there was no need to do that anymore. Shelton-only quests had already been received.
Shelton’s difficulty modes were 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.
‘……it’s true that they helped too.’
Yeah, let’s admit what we have to admit. If it weren’t for Cotton Candy Fox and the party members, I wouldn’t have reached level 220 this quickly.
In addition, 5 items from Cotton Candy Fox have already been passed down to me. Maybe because he already knew that I didn’t accept expensive items, it was difficult to say no so I only picked out suitable items.
Still, it wasn’t easy to do that 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…….”
After coming 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 deal 2 support /max level] 6/7
[team/10 reel/ intermediate support x/2-3-2] 7/7
[Pitanomal/3 Reels/Nortang 3 deal 3 support/max levels only] 6/6
[Cell/Light 2ㄱㄱ/232 sets] 7/7
[pot/Hell 3 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: it’ll be a bit difficult to do today’s raid ㅠㅅㅠ!]
[Cotton Candy Fox: something suddenly came up]
[Cotton Candy Fox: It will take 3 hours;ㅡ;]
[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, let me know...]
[Cotton Candy Fox: I’ll get going thenㅜㅡㅜ]
[I’m Sleepy: it’s okay it’s okay]
[Cotton Candy Fox: Hukㅜㅡㅜ]
[Cotton Candy Fox: I’ll be back.. ㅜ.ㅜ]
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, relieved my anger a bit.
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 over 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 since I lost 1:1 PVP, so I didn’t think about it seriously... Looking back now, there were definitely a few strange things.
“…I seriously 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 heard his 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. Let’s just ignore everything and start reaching towards the max level.’
Anyway, I’ve been through a lot of trouble because of this Yoo Chae 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 your job to a Dark Mage only when you reach max level. In retrospect, it means that I haven’t even gotten to play as 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, there were only two people on the map except for me even though it was late.
From what I can see, those two were also normal level, so it looks like they came to do the additional quest. I turned off my mind and went to catch Campara, but the whole chat sudden;y came up.
[All] Ganbok: Look here
[All] Ganbok: I told you so
[All] Ganbok: Excuse me
[All] Ganbok: I’m Sleepy-nim ㅋㅋ
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: the one who fought with the Early Evening bastards
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 username ‘Ganbok’ was <Fever>.
‘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: ㅋㅋㅋ Fr 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 about this.’
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: So at that time
[All] aoko1: You were deprived for real? ㅋ
[All] aoko1: Right??
[All] aoko1: ???is that right?
[All] I’m Sleepy: yes
[All] Ganbok: It’s so damn funny ㅋㅋㅋ
[All] Ganbok: Sleepy-nim, I really wanted to meet you at least onceㅋㅋ
[All] I’m Sleepy: ?ㅋㅋ
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 that b@stard has always been acting up for a long time now
[All] Ganbok: A lot of people don’t like himㅋㅋ
[All] aoko1: Right ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[All] aoko1: There are a lot of victims, who have experienced it
[All] Ganbok: That person is a total bastard
[All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ
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 try to enter??
[All] Ganbok: That’s why you are probably playing solo these days
[All] aoko1: Early Evening is awful, so who cares about them? ㅋ
[All] Ganbok: Will you come to our guild? ㅋㅋ
[All] Ganbok: Getting a 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 as the No. 3 on the server and has a bad relationship with the Early Evening Guild?
After thinking for a while, I answered.
[All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ
[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 can you just take someone into the guild when it’s only a user you just met? Is joining the server’s No. 3 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 must be received in a double of what he had done.
Lastly, I didn’t want to get involved with such human garbage personality.
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: ?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[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: ㅋㅋㅋ
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 that was moving was faster than my head could comprehend. After moving the character to avoid the attack, I turned my view of the screen and looked back.
[All] aoko1: Wow fuck
[All] aoko1: Aren't you lucky?ㅋㅋ
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.
