(Guild Manager’s POV)
<Guild member> 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 was it?
[Guild] Harn: Ah yes yes
[Guild] Harn: Come on ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sleepy-nim, it’s been a week since you have joined ㅋㅋㅋ
Six days ago, a newcomer, who 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 ㅠ
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 expresses his gratitude or appreciation. 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? ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: fr.. 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: Gilma came together with the newbie
[Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: He never loses and puts in damage well
[Guild] Let’s do this: Ah, what was I doing at that level;
[Guild] Let’s do this: I must have been digging in the back during that quest
[Guild] Harn: I saw them avoiding the hits with Gilma’s skill
[Guild] Harn: Blood’s cheap ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Water-nim
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Now that the week’s going to be over, the time of his stay is ending soon too
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Are you going to register ‘I’m Sleepy’ as a member?
[Guild] Drink some water: Hmm
Guardian Guild Selection.
In <Zenoris>, there are several towns and cities, and there is a guild that protects 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 selection.
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 selection match starts, Early Evening has to win the final victory against all the guilds that challenged them, wanting to take over the seat as the Guardian Guild of the Veritas City.
[Guild] Drink some water: I don’t know
[Guild] Drink some water: I think we should at least get confirmation from Sleepy-nim if he’s willing to stay in this guild.
In order to participate in the selection match, 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 Gilma’s crazy personality, he wouldn’t have asked I’m sleepy to leave the guild and I would have completed registration for the selection match sooner.
Yoo Chae answered the question immediately.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I don’t know?
[Guild] Drink some water: Ahw ㅡㅡ
[Guild] Harn: No;;
[Guild] Harn: You were supposed to be nice and then confidently say yes ㄷㄷ
[Guild] Mocha Bread: fr
[Guild] Mocha Bread: I heard you gave him the Solis wand with Lux 2
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Solis is a real all-time legend ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Manaolingnam: Ha fuck 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: Ah, this feels ominous
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Is it only me? ㅋㅋ;;
[Guild] I’ll take care of you: Anyone visiting the incident bulletin board again?
[Guild] Harn: 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?
“Uh.”
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 until yesterday because of the field raid.
“That’s right.”
-Are you going to come to our guild right away? I already informed my Gilma Hyung.
‘I was thinking of doing that, 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’ll wash up and log onto the game right away, so wait.”
- Okiyo.
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 would try to log into the game, but I changed my mind and went to the Zenoris website.
I thought it would be better to leave the guild before logging into 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 successfully 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, the plan was somewhat successful. Even Yoo Chae will have a lot of emotions when he sees me finally leaving the guild. I’ve only known him for a while either way.
Thinking like that made me feel 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 grayed out and disabled.
[Soeso: hi hi]
[Soeso: go to Central]
[I’m Sleepy: Ok]
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 at 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>.
[All] I’m Sleepy: Let’s go ㄱㄱ ㄱㄱ
I didn’t expect the Gilma to come right away. Still, it wasn’t bad because I wanted the conversation to be quick. After I entered the party, <One Heart One Will> 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
Your personality seems really good. Is that why you’re 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: I’d really appreciate it
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, <One Heart One Will> guild name was created above my username. The re-energized guild chat was filled with unfamiliar names.
[Guild] Kyoyo Kyoko: Hello~
[Guild] Beecher: Hiyo~
[Guild] Popabam: Wow, there’s a newbie~><
[Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Hiyong ㅇ.ㅇ
[Guild] Jang-hoon: Hi hi
[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 ha
[Guild] Soeso: Real friend ha~
[Guild] Beecher: You have friends? ㅋㅋㅋ
[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
I could say 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-nim, what level are you now?
[Party] I’m Sleepy: I’m at 212
[Party] Unyum: Gosh, hasn’t it been less than a month since you started?
[Party] Unyum: That’s really fast omg
[Party] Unyum: Then can I help you with the raid quest? haha
[Party] Soeso: ㄱㄱ I want to go too
[Party] I’m Sleepy: Tk tk
[Party] I’m Sleepy: The Dragon Raid is red now
[Party] Unyum: Indeed red
[Party] I’m Sleepy: I’ll use 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.
<System> The ‘Early Evening’ guild has declared war on the ‘One Heart One Will’ guild.
<System> 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: Why so suddenly...?
