66. ‘There’s no way that’s all there is to it.’ If so, there’s no reason Ji Seon-woo would have stood in the way. “If there is one problem, it is that the domestic situation is still not good. I don’t think it’s a situation wherein we can send a lot of Awakened. Since the terrorist organization is on the rise, some of the Awakened have to stand by just in case.” “And one of those people is Ji Seon-woo.” The man smiled awkwardly and replied. “Yes, it is. High-ranking people want Ji Seon-woo to remain in Korea. What if a gate-type portal suddenly explodes again?” Do-jin knew that was not the only reason. “Okay. So, is the business over?” “Yes?” “I have no intention of conveying it for you. Do it yourself.” After saying that, Do-jin stepped out of the room. Hyeon-hee was standing in front of the door with a nervous look on her face. “How did it go?” “From now on, don’t bring in people like that without an appointment.” Perhaps Hyeon-hee hadn’t predicted this at all. Her shoulders drooped at Do-jin’s words… “You don’t have to be involved with politicians. I’ll try harder.” In the past, there were times when he wanted to leave the Peace Guild, but now his thoughts had changed. That was why he wanted to try harder. Do-jin left only those words and exited the Peace Guild building. It was good to try to do something to raise the guild a little more. But it was not good to borrow the hands of those in power like that. After all, they would try to wield them to suit their tastes. Do-jin inadvertently pressed his crumpled forehead with his fingers and entered the dessert shop. He bought dessert for Hyeon-woo and even something for Seon-woo, though reluctantly. ‘He seems to be getting a little shrewd these days.’ He could only give the cake to Hyeon-woo. Still, he would be happy, and he would eat with pleasure. But what if he gave it to Seon-woo? Seon-woo may not like it, but Hyeon-woo would still love him. Because he was his beloved younger brother. “My dear younger brother.” Do-jin, who muttered a little, shut his mouth again. In fact, Do-jin was not that different from Seon-woo. He lived for his younger sister, and once he was about to give up his life when he lost his sister. But what about now? He was still saddened by the loss of his younger sister, but he didn’t want to die. It was because he had someone he wanted to protect besides his younger sister. That person was ridiculously cute and lovely. There were some suspicious parts, but he decided not to dig them out. ‘If I build up trust like this, you’ll tell me someday,’ he thought. After going through the strict verification process of the Seon-Hyeon Guild, he went upstairs and rang the front doorbell. He felt a presence, and soon the door opened. It was Hyeon-woo. “I’m back.” Do-jin smiled and held out the dessert box he was holding in his hand. “Welcome!” Even though this was not his home, his welcoming voice seemed to melt away the fatigue of the day. “What is that, Hyung?” Hyeon-woo called Do-jin as he was holding on instead of following right away. It was only after he heard the name that Do-jin slowly went inside. Yes, he wanted to hear that. He spoke to Hyeon-woo who was opening the dessert box. “The chocolate cake is yours, and the others are for Ji Seon-woo’s.” “Chocolate cake? Don’t you like that?” “They say it’s not too sweet and moderately bitter.” “Wow, shall we eat then?” “I’ll set it up.” When Do-jin picked up the dessert box again, Hyeon-woo took it back. “How could I make the person who bought it do such a thing? I’ll set it up, so change your clothes and come.” “Then I’ll be out soon.” Do-jin entered the guest room. At first, it was a temporary room, but from some point on, his items were gradually increasing. Perhaps because of that, he felt more like home here than at his actual home. “It’s ready!” Responding to the shout, he saw Hyeon-woo sitting quietly at the table. And Spotty, Kero, and Two-eyed in human form were sitting on the floor next to them and looking up at the table. Despite being a monster, he really enjoyed human food. He was glad he bought enough cakes. Piririk. “Hyung, I’m here!” Soon after, Seon-woo also arrived. He seemed to have rushed in while he was working, but he knew something. Seon-woo sat down at the table with a troubled face. “I don’t like sweets.” Maybe Do-jin had deliberately picked the sweetest-looking ones . . . “Oops, I didn’t know.” “Seon-woo, you shouldn’t do that to the person who bought you the cake.” When Hyeon-woo pulled Seon-woo by the hem of his clothes and said this, his expression twisted. However, after a while, he straightened his expression again and stuck his fork into the cake. “I see. Thank you for buying.” “You’re welcome.” They looked at each other and smiled, but they both had different emotions inside. If Hyeon-woo hadn’t been a point of contact, they wouldn’t have stayed close. That was how such a fun snack time went by. If it was peaceful, the peaceful time passed, and the incident occurred a few days later. Since the day Hyeon-woo went to defeat monsters separately, Seon-woo started to interfere less with going out than before. Of course, that didn’t mean that bodyguards weren’t there. Team leaders Lena and Ain went out with Hyeon-woo, who had not been able to work for a long time today. The reason for leaving was trivial. A famous restaurant had opened nearby, and he just wanted to try it. Originally, Seon-woo planned to go with him whenever he had free time, but lately things had been hectic. He couldn’t easily take time out. However, the two team leaders of the Seon-Hyeon Guild were attached to him instead. Since the two of them were evaluated as ‘going to be promoted to S rank,’ Seon-woo was relieved and let Hyeon-woo go. Since he had already thought of dropping by with Do-jin, it would have been okay to make him more friendly with the other guild members. “Wow, I really wanted to go there!” “Are there any restaurants you don’t want to go to?” “Why did you say that?” Lena slapped Ain on the back and looked around. She was smiling on the outside, but she was in a state of maximum tension right now. Lena’s gaze was focused on her with Spotty, Kero and Two-eyed right next to her [1]. ‘With this combination, you’ll stand out wherever you go.’ That made her even more nervous. However, people only watched from afar and did not approach him willingly. At most, a group of high school girls approached him and got Hyeon-woo’s autograph. “Wow, he signed it!!” “I’d like to get Kero’s foot stamp too!” “I have paint! paint!” “Wang wang” “Kirrrk.” The high school girls waved their hands and walked away after receiving the foot stamps of Kero and Spotty. From then on, they just walked without any problems. The weather was good, and perhaps because of that, the air was good for a long time. It was a good day. “But why is there a rat following me?” If only someone hadn’t followed. Lena put her gauntlet on her hand and looked back. It was a secondary armament that was brought separately because it was difficult to use weapons carelessly against people. As if Ain was already ready, she was staring exactly in the direction Lena was looking. “It’s a misunderstanding.” A man with both hands raised was approaching from that side. “Somehow it feels familiar, doesn’t it?” Lena frowned and glared at him. “I’m from the Hunter Administration.” “We do not accept meetings without appointment.” Ain said in a cold voice. The monsters that quietly followed Hyeon-woo changed their direction. At that point, the man seemed to be nervous as well, so his voice trembled. “I do not have bad intentions.” “What are you talking about? Stalking is a big crime. isn’t it?” “That’s right.” Ain agreed with Lena’s words. “Just talk, just listen for a moment! Hyeon-woo ssi!” “No, don’t listen. Ignore it.” The man desperately called out to Hyeon-woo, but Lena neatly told him to ignore it. “It’s never a good thing when the government steps out like this.” “How dare you call the government incompetent?” The man shouted loudly as Lena waved her hands. “This time, the World Awakened Alliance has specially invited Hyeon-woo-ssi! Did the invitation go through?” It didn’t go through. As a result of a brief meeting, it was judged that the bullshit was too loud, so it was not communicated to Hyeon-woo. “America wants to see Hyeon-woo ssi!” “Why?” Hyeon-woo asked with a puzzled expression. Perhaps he regarded it as a signal for a conversation, the man tried to approach me with a happy expression but was blocked by Ain and Rena. “If you come closer, I’ll stab you.” “She hits well too. Would you like to see?” In the end, the man had to talk about the situation from some distance away. After hearing all the stories, Hyeon-woo came to a conclusion. “I’m not going.” “What?” “You are not obligated to attend, are you?” The last time he went to the United States was because of Spotty, but he had a realization after traveling once. Traveling was tiring. He had to spend several hours on a plane, and wandering around was not for him. “B-But still.” “Besides, Seon-woo said he couldn’t go either.” “Because the country is still at stake!” “That’s a strange excuse.” Hyeon-woo smiled and said to Lena and Ain. “It’s getting close to the reservation time. Let’s go to the restaurant.” “Shall we?” Lena smiled and lowered her hand, and Ain then retrieved the weapon. The man stepped forward to try something but was stopped at the moment by yellow eyes staring at him. “Hindrance.” (You’re in the way.) It was Two-eyed. Even though he had a human form, the nature he possessed did not disappear, so the man suddenly stepped back from the goosebumps. In the meantime, everyone in the party went into the restaurant side by side. He could have followed, but he didn’t want to. “Damn.” The man cursed and had to turn around. [1] Ain is a gender-neutral name. Although we don’t know, we are going to use female pronouns.

65. She knew the situation roughly, but it was a shame. A-yun groaned and fell on the sofa in the office. She moved onto the next thing. “So are you going to America?” In the United States, important Awakened people from each country were invited to elect the head of the World Awakened Alliance. All costs were borne by the World Awakened Alliance “As expected, the scale is different.” It wasn’t a bad offer, but it was embarrassing to leave the country right now. A new villain group, Ouroboros, could open artificial portals. There was no point if they were not stopped. “If Awakened gather in America, won’t they open the portal again?” “Where?” “If it were me, I would open it in the country where the Awakened have left. Before that, it didn’t go well when I opened it in a place where Awakened gathered. I will change my mind.” In fact, if Hyeon-woo hadn’t dealt with the dragon at that time, the situation would have been worse. His taming of dragons made things much better, which increased the popularity of tamers. ‘Although real-life tamers have clear limits.’ What kind of person was Hyeon-woo? No matter how strong the tamer, it was impossible to tame such a monster. ‘Besides, he said he knew all about monsters.’ What happened in the United States also reached A-yun’s ears. ‘Kero has been with me since the beginning, and a monster I know. Perhaps the dragon that appeared behind it is the same case as Spotty.’ Thanks to that, she found out that part of the portal was connected to the Demon Realm. “Then it would be better to decline this invitation?” “Right. But you can’t refuse them all. Some have to go. The World Awakened Alliance around the world is a thing that is helpful to us as well. Among the purposes of the World Awakened Alliance was to help each other when each country was in need. Because of that one, people had no choice but to move. “Maybe we can send about half of the top 5 guilds?” “Hmm.” Ja-yun let out a short, pained sound. And A-yun’s words were right. However, there was one problem A-yun didn’t know about, and it was that Hyeon-woo was one of the Awakened invited to the United States. Among the many invited Awakened, they dared to pick him out and wrote that they hoped that he would definitely be sent. “It’s not possible.” Seon-woo said in a firm voice. “He must go.” “I don’t like it.” Dealing with Seon-woo, who was as strong as an iron wall no matter what he said, Moo-hyuk brushed his hair. No matter what he said, the answer that came back was the same. “America wants Ji Hyeon-woo to come.” “Don’t you know that it’s an act of coveting my Hyung?” For the first time, a different answer came out of Seon-woo’s mouth. “Even so, we cannot refuse their request.” Since more Awakened appeared, the status of Korea had risen. However, it would take more time to overcome the US’s manpower. Therefore, the request could not be rejected blindly. “Then I will go with you.” “That is troublesome. Don’t you know that the country is still a mess? It would be a big deal if Ouroboros opened gates again. We need you to stay.” “Are you really asking me to stay for that purpose?” The corner of Seon-woo’s mouth went up crookedly. Moo-hyuk could only sigh again at those words. He knew that too. That the intention behind the requests not pure. Moo-hyuk also tried to block it somehow, but he was still unable to do so. Kim Cheol-su was a person who had many personal connections even though he was not Awakened and knew how to use him freely. It was not easy for him to bring down such a person. “We’ll support you, so seize power as quickly as possible.” “I’m trying.” Things had gotten a lot better. Moo-hyuk’s voice within the Hunter Administration was gradually getting louder. “It means you should try harder.” Moo-hyuk’s speed boiled over. However, he couldn’t fight Seon-woo like before, so he tried to suppress his anger. “I’ll try harder. Still, this time around, you have no choice. We need to send Hyeon-woo to the United States. If you’re feeling uneasy, why don’t you send the Peace Guild Leader he always travels with?” At those words, Seon-woo’s expression turned sterner. He didn’t like that either, so he had been arguing with Moo-hyuk the whole time. “Can’t I leave Han Do-jin and go instead?” Certainly, considering Do-jin’s rising skills these days, he didn’t know if that would be more comfortable. Unless it was the backhand work of politicians and the United States. Feeling that the scenario had gone back to the beginning, Moo-hyuk grabbed the back of his neck. After the lengthy conversation with Seon-woo, Moo-hyuk returned to the Hunter Administration late in the evening. He wanted to take a break, but he still had work to do, so he headed to the director’s office. Knock, knock. “Come in.” When Moo-hyuk entered, the director put on a welcoming expression. “Okay, how did it go?” “Ji Seon-woo says he won’t allow it unless his Hyung stays without going or they go together.” The director, who glanced at the watch and then at Moo-hyuk’s words, cleared his throat and said. “No, you went there for several hours and still couldn’t convince him?” ‘You can try.’ The words almost leaped out his throat. “How can I convince him when it’s something he doesn’t like?” “In that case, you should talk with the Hyung, not the younger brother!” There was no way Seon-woo would easily let him meet his Hyung. “That’s not easy either.” “It’s the end of the world, the end of the world. They told me to do something for the country, but they all said they didn’t like it, so there was no progress. Progress!” The director vomited a long speech with a dissatisfied expression. Also, this little guy was unpleasant. Ever since this kind of person has been sitting in the director’s seat, the Hunter Administration had stopped developing. “There’s still time, so try persuading more. I’ll try to do more.” The director clicked his tongue and let Moo-hyuk go. Moo-hyuk left the director’s office and sighed as he rubbed his forehead as was his custom. “I’m tired.” Still, he couldn’t stop here. Moo-hyuk stood up again and walked down the hallway. *** Do-jin looked at the tablet in his hand and smiled at the memory of his that suddenly came to his mind. ‘Do-jin Hyung.’ Hyeon-woo called him Hyung for the first time. Just thinking about it made his heart tickle and he felt excited. He wanted to hear more of the word ‘Hyung’ in Hyeon-woo’s voice. ‘It’s over.’ Do-jin, who finished his work quickly, stood up. He had a meeting in the morning, and since he had seen all the remaining papers, he should be able to go back to Hyeon-woo. He lightly put on his coat and was about to go outside, but he bumped into Hyeon-hee, the Deputy Guild Leader. “Guild leader, a guest has come.” What guest? No one was supposed to come today. If so, it was said that the visit was made without notice, but was it necessary to meet with such an uninvited guest? The answer came quickly. “We do not meet with unannounced visitors.” The Peace Guild was definitely one of the best guilds. It was something he could say because there were no guests who would come to such a guild and make jokes. “I know that, but it’s a government official.” “The same goes for government officials.” When Do-jin’s attitude did not change, Hyeon-hee expressed her nervousness. “Would you like to meet him just once? It seems to be an important business.” “Do you know him?” “No, no. I just thought he was someone you should meet.” At Hyeon-hee’s excuse, Do-jin looked at the clock hanging on the wall for a while. He wanted to return as soon as possible. There was a new pastry at a nearby dessert shop, which was perfect for Hyeon-woo who disliked things that were too sweet. The mini cakes, with a bitter dark chocolate base, became popular as soon as they were released and quickly sold out each day. Thinking about that, it was right to leave like this, but Hyeon-hee was making a very pitiful expression. She was also a person who contributed a lot to the establishment of the guild. In the end, Do-jin had no choice but to nod his head. “Only 10 minutes.” “Yes Yes! Let’s go see them!” A man in a suit was standing where Hyeon-hee followed. He was a non-Awakened, but his origin was the Hunter Administration. The man introduced himself like that. After a brief greeting, he quickly got down to business. “I’m here because I have something to ask of you this time.” “What is it?” “Would you please tell Mr. Ji Hyeon-woo what we were saying?” Do-jin belatedly regretted it. ‘It was something I didn’t even need to hear about.’ Delivering something to Hyeon-woo wasn’t as difficult as he thought. He could do it through Ji Seon-woo or Seon-Hyeon Guild. Even so, if he was rejected by them, then it this message was worthless. If it was something like that, he himself had no intention of conveying it to Hyeon-woo. Glancing at the watch again, the government official seemed anxious. “This is an important message. Please listen to it at least once. You know that the US sent invitations to the Awakened this time, right?” How could he not know? Do-jin also received the invitation. He didn’t reply yet because he didn’t know what Hyeon-woo would do. “Yes, it is. As an ally, the United States is doing us a favor.” “I don’t think so.” “No. If you look inside, yes. There are more invitations to Korea than to other countries.” The man puffed out his chest proudly. “But what does that have to do with Hyeon-woo?” At Do-jin’s question, the man corrected his posture. “America wants Hyeon-woo.” “Are you a scout?” “No, it’s not like that. I just want to meet Hyeon-woo, who tamed a great monster with pure intentions.” So would he eventually leave the country? In this situation, he thought about whether it was okay for him, Hyeon-woo, and even Seon-woo to leave. They might be able to if other Awakened don’t go.

40. “Go inside the west gate now. Please help Let’s do this too.” “What, what?” “What is it?” After listening to my words, Drink some water and Let’s do this asked in a panicked voice, but I had to finish my work with Melody Chord in order to wheedle a proper answer. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: how many? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: How many ELMe are there? [Whisper] Melody Chord: As far as I know, there are three [Whisper] Melody Chord: Each of them will be hiding in a different place [Whisper] Melody Chord: I wish I had started avoiding everyone’s eyes long ago [Whisper] Melody Chord: Less than 30 secs left If there were three of us, it would be better for me to move at least with Yoo Chae and the Berserker, Let’s do this. I hurriedly turned on the clock program that displayed the number of seconds and left it floating in the corner of the screen and opened my mouth. “Now three ELMe are hiding and casting their ultimate skills.” “ELMe? ELMe’s ultimate skill?” “Wait… where? in the west gate?” Elemental Mage’s ultimate skill was Meteor. If Meteor, used by three Mages belonging to the Fever Guild, on the west gate where 40 people gathered, the gauge difference would be enormous, and in the worst case, the defense would be pierced and the flag in the center might be given up. “That was what they were aiming for from the beginning.” The west gate was narrow compared to other places both inside and outside, and there were many blind spots where you could hide because the buildings were packed tightly together. When close to 80 players were fighting, they must have sneaked into the west gate and hid in the alley. The process must have taken about 10 minutes but considering that it took about 2 minutes to cast Meteor, there was not much time left as the Melody Chord said. “I’ll look for them right away.” “Me and Harn will look for them together. As for the other kids...……..” “I don’t have time to explain everything. Kim Yoo-chae, are you in?” “Yes. I’m looking too.” Fortunately, without having to speak for a long time, everyone understood the situation at once and started to move quickly. I’ll have to go back quickly and search the alleys. But before that. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: nim [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: send me a friend request There was still a lot to be said about Melody Chord. Why the hell did you want to hand over a good weapon in the first place, and why did you give us such good information? I thought that hearing the reason would make me feel at ease. [Whisper] Melody Chord: I will see to it [Whisper] Melody Chord: Just take the Staff [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: yeah drop it I mercilessly fired an attack skill at Melody Chord. Anyway, the opponent didn’t have much remaining HP and was easily attacked as I expected. Just before collapsing, Melody Chord, who intentionally dropped the staff at the right time, immediately disappeared into the respawn zone. Quickly picking up and replacing my staff, I returned to the front gate, using my movement skill sparingly. “Hyung, it’s better to search in different areas than to search blindly. Divide the right area up and down, and the left area is small, so let’s leave it alone.” “Since I’m going to the right with Gilma-nim, would you like to look to the left, Sleepy-nim?” “Okay.” I went to the right, then swerved and ran in the opposite direction. Certainly, there are fewer buildings on the left than on the right, but it is impossible to know how much time is left, so it is not possible to look at all of them. It was hard. I hurriedly racked my brain and came up with the most efficient way to check the alley. As much as I couldn’t afford it, I had to gamble to some extent. ‘If I were ELMe who had to use the ultimate skill in secret……’ Where to settle down? With that in mind, there were a total of four possible ranges. Two dead ends east of the deepest location. and the northern and southern edge parts. On a clock, they are at 12 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 4 o’clock, and 6 o’clock. ‘It’s probably better if I look through it all the way from 12 o’clock.’ Arriving in the north as quickly as possible, I made sure no one was there and moved east. In the midst of the selection, it was not possible to summon a pet, so the speed was slow because we had to move ourselves. Early Evening Guild has earned 10 points! “Hyung, I killed the bottom right. There are a team of two people, so be careful.” “Already?” Yoo Chae was the first to go to find it, but even so, the speed was much faster than expected. “Yes. No matter how the ELMe are placed, there’s an intersection, so I looked around it.” “Ah, that’s for sure.” The place where the most people are fighting is right in front of the west gate. It’s far from the 6 o’clock position... If so, it is most likely 2 o’clock or 4 o’clock. Early Evening Guild has earned 10 points! “The other one was caught too!” “Sleepy-nim, we don’t have much time.” Shortly thereafter, Drink some water and Let’s do this came to the briefing. Hearing that, I quickly ran to 2 o’clock. “The enchantment is almost complete. I think there is less than a minute left.” If each of the scattered mages started casting their ultimate at the same time... As Let’s do this said, I had to kill two opponents in less than a minute. “I’ll go and support you right away.” Yoo Chae, who grasped the situation, continued, but it was clear that if I didn’t find and solve it before he arrived on the other side, I wouldn’t be able to cut off the ultimate. I clicked my tongue and arrived at the alley at the 2 o’clock position I had thought of beforehand. ‘Found them...!’ At a glance, I could see the elemental mage and the spearman casting their ultimate skills. The opponent also found me and raised a golden shining spear. Since two teams were defeated by us, they should already know that their plans were exposed. Confirming that 70% of the magic circle under the mage was completed, I evaded the spearman’s dash with ice. The numbers displayed on the clock program displayed on the screen skipped over without stopping. The remaining time is approximately 30 seconds. ‘It’s impossible to kill and stop the casting.’ It would have been enough if the opponent was a supporter like a healer, but he was a spearman, the most versatile job. I hurriedly rolled my head and compared my skills with the spearman’s skills and calculated how to deal with them effectively. The evasion skill used as a mover currently had 5 seconds of cooldown left. Consequently, the spearman still had an evasion skill and just used one of the two dashes. ‘Normal rush has a cooldown of about 3 seconds, so if you assume that the spearman is like that too...’ After sorting out what to do, I kept my distance to avoid being hit by the spearman’s attack. It’s true that I didn’t have time, but I was the only one who would lose if I pushed on recklessly. Let’s try to stay calm. “Hyung! where are you?” I answered Yoo Chae, narrowly avoiding the spearman’s wide swing of the spear. “At 2 o’clock.” I induced the spearman to use his skills as much as possible while properly avoiding or getting hit by the attack without a chance to rest. PVP games were mostly psychological warfare. The other two teams were all dead due to us right now, so the opponent was mentally concentrated. Also, if anyone other than me came to support, defeat would be certain, so I want to decide before that. With the thought of an attack being of urgent use, mistakes will be frequent, and the skills that come to mind are used randomly without thinking. If you kept a certain distance, you could easily avoid this kind of attack. ‘Please……!’ I bit my lip and begged inwardly. Come on, come on. As if the spearman, anxious to see me not backing down even though my stamina was declining, paused for a moment and swung the spear wide 360 degrees. Then, a red light shone at the tip of the blade. It was the spearman’s ultimate skill. It was a skill that had the effect of deflecting both close skills and normal hits as well as increasing damage and attack speed. As if to finish it all at once, the spearman used his dash again with his ultimate active. And I, who had been waiting for this moment, evaded it with the evasion skill I had been saving up until now, and narrowed the distance with the Elemental mage standing behind the spearman. The position of the spearman and I changed in an instant. My heart was beating hard, and my body was hot with excitement. It was seen that the magic circle drawn on the floor where Mage was standing was about to be completed. Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately moved my fingers. I couldn’t move while casting my ultimate skill anyway, so I boldly skipped the binding skill and instead added the W skill with the most damage. W-Q-R-4-1. Then, rest for 1 second, then W-Q-R once the cooldown is over. I can do this. This is possible. Mage’s stamina was being cut off at a tremendous speed, and his magic gauge was quickly completed. Seconds exceeded in the clock program. 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds. And 1 second. Early Evening Guild has earned 10 points! Mage collapsed on the floor with her staff holding up to summon Meteor when the enchantment was completed. Kill log then floated in the center. “Ha……” I blocked it. After, I killed the opponent mage with 1 second left. Realizing that, a sigh of relief rose from the depths. [All] aoko: Ah ㅅf1ck [All] RareHunter: ;; As the opponent’s mage, who failed to summon Meteor, hit the chat, the spearman immediately rushed at me. ‘This will kill me.’ Unlike me, who had little stamina left, the spearman was fine. In addition, the location was not good, so there was no way to avoid the attack now that there was no evasion skill. I must die this time and return to the respawn zone. Killing the target mage and blocking the Fever Guild’s plan, there was no major problem now. Still, it was a pity to die like this, so it was the moment I tried to use the skill. Charreuk! A golden chain flew from behind the spearman, tying him up and pulling him to the other side. And then, the spearman was killed with two skills. “Hyung.” As I didn’t want to die so easily, I at least tried to resist before dying, but Yoo Chae appeared in front of me. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: Yoo Chae came to shield him. 0///w///0 MM: God, this battle was intense! I hope EE can recruit Melody Chord in their guild instead of staying in Fever, or anywhere, just not in Fever. It must have been really uncomfortable for her to be harassed just because she’s a girl. GX: Poor Melody Chord, she didn’t deserve that; at least she’s leaving now. Speaking of leaving, I wonder if Sleepy decides to leave the guild. He did say he would only join to get his staff back. We made a Discord Server! please join us!

39. As soon as the respawn zone opened, Significant rushed straight towards me, as I was standing at the front. So I tried to use an evasion skill, which was fast, but not enough to make me unresponsive to other attacks after that, but before that, Yoo Chae blocks the attack and shoots off a skill at Significant as a counterattack. “Hyung, let’s go.” Nice timing. I was grateful for Yoo Chae’s consideration and ran across the street to the other side where a lot of Fever Guild members were gathered after passing by Significant. Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! Fever Guild has earned 10 points! Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! As almost 80 users gathered together to fight, the surroundings quickly became a mess. It was much harder than expected to find one character in the midst of a hectic battle. Fortunately, Drink some water and Let’s do this, who found the newbie before me, informed us of the location. “It’s at 1 o’clock now! but it just disappeared.” “Uh.” “She’s here at 3 o’clock.” “I’ll go.” I immediately turned the screen on and moved to the 3 o’clock direction that Let’s do this said. When I arrived as quickly as possible while using my evasion skills generously, the newbie’s username I was looking for came into sight. ‘Melody chord. That’s him.’ A male character with dark blue hair was fighting while vigorously wielding the blue gem-studded staff I was looking for. They said that Fever had strengthened it, and the jewels definitely shimmered brighter than the last time I saw them. Just in time, our guild member who was dealing with Melody Chord died and its opponent seat was empty. I deliberately used my D skill to make her aware of my existence. [All] Melody chord: ?? Noticing my presence, Melody Chord reflexively pressed the evasion skill, and hit the entire chat. I ignored it and used the basic combo for now. The opponent used an evasion skill a while ago, so she can’t avoid my restraint skill. As expected, Melody Chord, who had been bound, was hit by a series of skills, and her physical strength dropped to 10% at once. Still, it wasn’t a user who couldn’t see avoiding the last W skill with control. Melody Chord, who was taken aback by the sudden attack, quickly regained her balance and used her D skill at me this time. When I saw that, I thought deeply. ‘The number is obvious.’ It was an ulterior motive to slow down my movement speed with a floor board and use restraint or attack skills. Then, the reactions I had to do were also divided into two. If the opponent uses restraint, evade with the evasion skill, and if the opponent uses an attack skill, evade it with control. The character, Melody Chord, raised her staff towards me. That was the motion seen when using the attack skill R skill. I predicted the line of sight and angle the character was looking at and avoided it to the right. As expected, the opponent threw the skill to the left. As I lightly dodged the attack, Melody Chord suddenly used a restraint skill. Anticipating that, I dodged to the right and immediately avoided the restraint skill with the evasion skill. This whole process took less than 2 seconds. The most important thing in the fight between Dark Mages was the restraint skill. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the winner was determined by who got restrained first. ‘That means……’ I, who avoided Melody Chord’s restraint skill, clearly had the upper hand. The opponent seemed to be aware of that, so my Q skill was easily hit. Since she doesn’t have much stamina anyway, she must have decided that it would be better to die and be resurrected. Early Evening Guild has earned 10 points! When Melody Chord died, the gauge rose a little more. It wasn’t even half filled yet, but it wasn’t a relaxed situation. “I killed her, but I didn’t get the staff. From now on, I will only kill Melody Chord.” “We’ll follow.” To my words, Drink some water got close to me and answered. Instead of Yoo Chae, who could not come to me because he was blocked by Significant and Fever guild members, I headed to the opponent’s respawn zone with Drink some water, Let’s do this, and Harn. As I approached the respawn zone, roughly clearing out the guys who were blocking my way, I saw Melody Chord that just revived and came out. The opponent also stuttered for a moment after seeing me, then hurriedly raised the staff. Even so, the difference in skill between me and her was so great that there was no way for Melody Chord to win. Besides, the kids will keep the Fever guild members in check so I could focus on the fight with, of course, the pure tanker Drink some water and the healer Harn. ‘No matter how good her weapon is, it’s not easy to win if the difference is this much.’ The fully revived Melody Chord attacked first as if determined to see me with about 20% of my blood gone. Again, I didn’t use the restraint skill recklessly, but that didn’t change anything. If you don’t use restraint skills with each other, the only thing you can use in the end is non-target skills, and that’s directly related to the control fight. Having noticed all of Melody Chord’s way of fighting in the brief battle that had just taken place, I mechanically avoided the skill. ‘You have a habit of throwing your skills to the left. I can’t counterattack with a skill and move at the same time. I don’t know which skill you’ll use first, but I can roughly guess.’ A game of skill with PVP like this has no choice but to include personal skills. And each individual’s attitudes are revealed in personal skills. Melody Chord was not a user who couldn’t play games. Rather, she did quite well. If this game was not Zenoris, but Hero, then Melody Chord was an average Platinum, and if she were lucky, she’ll be skilled enough to take a Diamond tier. So in the end, that barely means anything for me. The difference in physical strength gradually widened even though they did not use the same restraint skills and fired non-target skills. Melody Chord, which was full blood, continued to hit with skills, and eventually the blood dropped to 30%. I must have lost my composure, so I made mistakes frequently. As soon as I saw that the cornered Melody Chord couldn’t stand it any longer and used an evasion skill, I immediately used the restraint skill I had saved. The character of Melody Chord’s collapsed when I hit the E-W-Q combo. Unfortunately, the staff did not drop this time either. [All] Melody code: ; Melody Chord, who died twice by the same person, blew a sweat mark and went to the respawn zone. I checked the time in the meantime. It was not a bad record after about 2 minutes. When Harn’s wide-area heal skill filled up his stamina to some extent, Melody Code came out of the respawn zone again. Different from before, the distance to get there was less, so when I approached slowly with the mind of going for a walk, Melody Chord, who found me for the third time, immediately hit the chat. [All] Melody chord: ? [All] Melody chord: what is ur problem? I didn’t have to answer anyway. This time, when I used the E skill immediately, Melody Chord, which hadn’t reacted before, was immediately bound. Melody Chord, who had been beaten in succession, fell down for the third time. The time taken was 1 minute and 30 seconds, 30 seconds less than before. [All] Melody Chord: ???? Melody Chord, who disappeared into the respawn zone leaving behind a lot of question marks, sneaked out about a minute later. She must have waited for me to go somewhere else before coming out... Unfortunately, my purpose was only one Melody Chord, so there was no chance to move. Melody Chord, who faced me again, started talking to me in a way that implies that she clearly couldn’t stand it anymore. [All] Melody Chord: No [All] Melody Chord: why are u doing this;; There was no response from me again this time. Rather, the more I try to chat, the more someone else might notice that I keep killing Melody chord for the staff, so it’s better to ignore it and kills her again. When I used the skill without saying anything, Melody Chord wasn’t as bad as before. She seemed to have been in a bad mood, although she seemed to focus on the fight. But she died less than two minutes later. Melody Chord, which repeated the resurrection and death about two more times, sent a whisper to me, as if she couldn’t endure it any further. [Whisper] Melody Chord: Hey, look here [Whisper] Melody Chord: I’m fㅅcking done with this [Whisper] Melody Chord: Tell me why you are crazy about killing me ‘I think he said she had a good personality.’ Recalling what Sudal had said with Discord, I scratched my cheek. No, well... even if she has a good personality, she deserves to be beaten up. Anyway, using whisper to chat with me won’t change anything. If I mention the weapon for nothing and Melody Chord takes the staff away somewhere else, the plan will be ruined at that moment. And the gauge was already going over 60%. As they battled in large groups at the west gate, the gauge filled up faster. The situation was tighter than originally planned. As I tried to kill him one more time, while ignoring the whispers, Melody Chord continued to send another chat. [Whisper] Melody Chord: Hey, look here nim [Whisper] Melody Chord: Are you waiting for that item to drop? I see, your game skills aren’t bad, but your eyes are pretty good at understanding the situation. I clicked my tongue and tapped the keyboard. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’m just practicing with the same person with the same job Dark mage ㅋㅋ [Whisper] Melody Chord: You don’t have to be politeㅋㅋㅋ [Whisper] Melody Chord: Nim, It’s your item that u lost rightㅋㅋㅋㅋ;; “......” With that said, I took a look at my character. The gray robes on the outside looked like rags, and the staff he was holding was brown without any accessories, so it looked like a wooden staff. This is… getting a bit out of hand. Unlike my staff, who looked like a withered tree, the staff, which Melody Chord is holding, had blue jewels shining brightly. When I thought that, I suddenly got a little annoyed. That was originally mine. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: What if your item’s good, huh [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’ll keep killing u until the item falls [Whisper] Melody Chord: I admit that you’re better than me [Whisper] Melody Chord: And that’s not what I want to say [Whisper] Melody Chord: Nim, would you like to have this staff? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: ?? [Whisper] Melody Chord: I’ll drop it [Whisper] Melody Chord: Will you have it? At the proposal that I had never imagined at all, I felt uncomfortable rather than happy, and my eyebrows furrowed. ‘What, it’s as if she’s trying to deal with this garbage?’ Come to think of it, didn’t Sudal say that the staff was forcibly received from Significant to her? Does it make sense to throw away such an expensive weapon to a user who has never met me before? Is it a trap or not? More information was needed to make a definitive decision. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: no [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: What if you change your words? [Whisper] Melody Chord: What ㅋㅋ [Whisper] Melodic Chord: Scared? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’ll just keep killing you like this [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I think I’ll just take it when it drops [Whisper] Melody Chord: ;; [Whisper] Melody Chord: Picking up items that fell during the selection to sell is not a good idea [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Yes, I’m not a user that sells. Gradually, the chatting time started to grow although it’s a waste of time. I’ll just have to continue killing as I’ve been doing. When I regained my composure, I fired the skill again, and Melody Chord, who had hit it as it was, hurriedly sent a whisper. [Whisper] Melody Chord: ah, f1ck [Whisper] Melody Chord: Nimㄱㄷ [Whisper] Melody Chord: I still have something to say [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: What is it? [Whisper] Melody Chord: I’ll drop my staff when I die [Whisper] Melody Chord: and finish this [Whisper] Melody Chord: Fever will win anyway [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: ?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [whisper] I’m Sleepy: Why do you think Fever would win? [Whisper] Melody Chord: You guys don’t know what we’re doing here right now [Whisper] Melody Chord: It’s too late already so I’m sure Fever will win this one After seeing the chat, I felt an ominous feeling. The attitude of the opponent, who was overly confident, was too intrusive to be simply a thrown word. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: what are they doing? [Whisper] Melody Chord: Will you take the staff? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’ll take care of that [whisper] I’m Sleepy: What is Fever doing? [Whisper] Melody Chord: Nim [Whisper] Melody Chord: Have you checked the location of our ELMe kids? ELMe? Elemental Mage? Where are they located...…… ‘......Wait, no way?’ At the West gate with many complicated alleyways. A large group of 40 people. The Elemental Mage members of the Fever Guild whose location cannot be confirmed. Having come to a conclusion in an instant, I hurriedly exclaimed. “Kim Yoo-chae!” “Gasp, ugh, yes?” Yoo Chae, who heard my call, was so surprised that he shucked in a breath and answered with a trembling voice. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei We made a Discord Server! please join us!

38. Drink some water, who immediately checked Sudal’s chat, said in a surprised voice. “Huh? Wait, west gate?” I was also confused by the unexpected result. The west gate was the farthest entrance from the center. In addition, the road to the center was narrower than other places, and there were several narrow alleys with Western-style buildings on both sides. In short, it was not a good place to fight. ‘Of course, it’s true that the west gate is also the entrance to be attacked but…’ I couldn’t understand why they had chosen west gate. Is there any special reason? “Oh my god, I’m a bit confused.” “Me too.” Drink some water and Harn, who were quick-witted, also showed quite a reluctant reaction like I did. [Drink some water] Is it really the west gate? [Drink some water] Why the hell tho? [Gugusudal] I don’t know whyㅠ [Gugusudal] I’m not in the situation to intervene and ask right now;; [Drink some water] Where are you? [Gugusudal] I am at the west gate I mean, there’s really going in the opposite direction than expected. Things are going crazy. “Go at once. Go and think.” Yoo Chae took the lead and moved to the west gate. Yep, that was right. Our goal now is to recover the stolen staff. There was no time for such leisure. I arrived at the west gate as quickly as possible, while using the evasion skill, and looked at the situation unfolding before my eyes. Inside the respawn zone, I saw a member of the Fever Guild waiting for the selection. “What? Why are there so many Fever Members?” “Yeah. I think there are more than 40?” As Harn and Let’s do this said, there was an excessive number of people, who gathered just for attacking the west gate. ‘What are you really up to?’ It was difficult to guess now what Fever Guild’s intention was to invest so much manpower in the west gate instead of the north gate closest to the center. Even after figuring out the number, I didn’t open my mouth, maybe it was the same for Yoo Chae. [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: Eh?? [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: What is this, Gilma-nim and Drink some water are here [Guild] Park Seungjin99: I tried to tell him even if I tried; [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Did you see those army of bastards? [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: It looks like an army of cockroaches [Guild] Drink some water: I came to here to support [Guild] Drink some water: but I think I need to bring more members here [Guild] Drink some water: everyone tell the numbers from each gate briefly [Guild] TheHunter: 15 members [Guild] Staric: About 15 at north gate? [Guild] Manaolingnam: South 10 [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Uh [Guild] Park Seungjin99: fr That’s weird;; Why does the north gate have only 15? [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Over 40 at the west now.. [Guild] Staric: What about the west? [Guild] Drink some water: Quick now [Guild] Drink some water: go to the west gateㄱㄱ [Guild] TheHunter: Who will go? The answer to The Hunter’s question came to Yoo Chae. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Bright Clouds, Mocha Bread, and Staric, come [Guild] TheHunter: Wht abt me? [Guild] Yoo Chae: You come too [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Wht abt me? [Guild] Yoo Chae: the rest is upto Drink some water [Guild] Drink some water: Agh ㅡㅡ Drink some water was a bit annoyed, but additional people were still brought in. Still, Yoo Chae’s choice was pretty good. The guild members he called were, in turn, spearman, sharpshooter, summoner, ripper, and warlord. Classes with short skill cooldowns or splash attacks are especially advantageous when dealing with large numbers of people, so it could be seen that only the most important people were selected in the current situation. After calling for additional support, our team went to the front of the team, including Monster born from capitalism, Park Seungjin, and Seasoned Crab Sauce. On the other side, a certain distance away, I saw the respawn zone wrapped in pure white light, and saw the Fever Gilma standing in the lead. [All] Ganbok: whoa [All] Ganbok: I can see that bastard ㅋㅋ [All] Chae rorob: En? [All] Chae rorob: right there? [All] Ganbok: I’m Sleepy, you bastardㅋㅋㅋ [All] Ganbok: He was the one who got robbed by the Gilma, during a fight, okayㅋㅋㅋ [All] Chae rorob: Ah fr? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Come on. I couldn’t believe that they would be childish like that. The appearance of the guys who opened their mouths first was just ridiculous from my point of view. [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Those bastards [Guild] Park Seungjin99: What bullshit are they talking about? [Guild] Staric: Did that really happen? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I was just doing a quest the other day [Guild] I’m Sleepy: they started fighting with me suddenly [Guild] Staric: oh [Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅋㅋ but [Guild] Mocha Bread: Sleepy-nim, you didn’t win? [Guild] Yoo Chae: he wouldn’t have lost [Guild] Yoo Chae: But there were two other people, with the Gilma While I was standing still, Yoo Chae stood up and explained. For some reason, it reminded me of a small puppy barking in front of its owner. [Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋ as expected [Guild] Bright Clouds: Then those bastards are now [Guild] Bright Clouds: So, he was actually robbed? [Guild] Drink some water: yeah [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: It hasn’t been only a day or two~ [Guild] Mocha Bread: so pathetic? ha [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Agreed [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m going to get it from those bastards after this anyway [Guild] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] TheHunter: agrredㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: #let’s go Fever Gilma, who had been silent while leaving his guild members, who were talking down and talking down on me with all chatting, spoke to me wearing a pair of golden swords. [All] Significant: Sleepy-nim, hello ㅋ.ㅋ “Hu……” I felt it the other day, but that kid wasn’t really normal either. I was amazed at how they could be so shameless. However, if you start a fight with that kind of bitch concept, I can’t back down either. Because I have been playing various online battle games since I was in elementary school. [All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋ hello [All] Significant: did you really go into Early Evening?ㅋ.ㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: Because there’s no guild that will take me [All] I’m Sleepy: Why the fuck do these guys like talking so much ㅋ [All] Significant: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Significant: That’s why I told you to come to our guild~ [All] I’m Sleepy: sori I’m looking at personalities ㅋㅋ; [All] Significant: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, personality? ㅋㅋㅋ [All] Significant: Then isn’t Early Evening also like that? [All] I’m Sleepy: yeah, I can’t say it’s good here either [All] I’m Sleepy: Your guild has a bad personality, and it’s even worse because they’re sloppy at dealing with things ㅋㅋ As they continued to fight back without losing, the atmosphere around them became even more chilly. The guild members, who were watching the chat with me, each said a word through the guild chat. [Guild] Bright Clouds: omg I’m so scared [Guild] TheHunter: There’s still 5 minutes left [Guild] Mocha Bread: No, But ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sleepy-nim ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Mocha Bread: Am I the only one who can’t say that this place is good? [Guild] Harn: fk It’s true, so it’s unxrefutable [Guild] I’m getting lazy: fr ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: Whew ㅡ ㅡ [Guild] Yoo Chae: Shall we kill that bastard? I ignored Yoo Chae’s chat and calmly looked for that newbie in the Fever Guild. However, because there were close to 40 characters, I could not see them no matter how many times I turned the screen around. “Hyung, I think it’ll only come out when the selection starts.” Yoo Chae, like me, was looking for a newbie and spoke with a microphone. I nodded and fixed the display of the screen back to normal. “It’s hidden and you can’t see it. If you see that newbie after the selection begins, please tell me. I’ll go right there.” “Alright.” “Yep.” “Okiyo.” Listening to the answer, I mounted the staff. There are now 3 minutes left until the start of the selection. [All] Significant: You’re a big loser omg [All] Significant: You say a lot of things a little harshly ㅋ [All] Park Seungjin99: Because Sleepy-nim is quick-witted [All] Park Seungjin99: He knew right away that it was a gathering place ㅠㅠ [All] Ganbok: You’re such a bastard [All] Ganbok: please don’t be hurt me ㅋㅋㅋ [All] Harn: Please? [All] Harn: Hello~ It’s me~ [All] Harn: How are you doing there?~~ [All] TheHunter: crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Let’s do this: Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Bright Clouds: No, this is really something; Are you a genius? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Drink some water say something ㅅ yes? fk [All] Monster born from capitalism: These jokes are really... [All] Harn: It’s been a while, my love ah~~ [All] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] I’m getting lazy: Perfect, even the rhythm [All] Park Seungjin99: Sang by Jinta[1].. [All] Ganbok: ㅋㅋ let’s play well you assholes [All] Mocha Bread: Jinta, Ganbok, tell me... Do you guys like soju...? [All] Mocha Bread: I like my drinks sweet.. [All] Staric: Kya~~~~ [All] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Seasoned and mixed~~~ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Bright Clouds: Moisten it~ [All] Drink some water: stop singingㅋㅋ ‘...are they this crazy?’ Seeing the guild members beating Fever like crazy in that moment, I clucked my tongue. I couldn’t help it but think again that because of the staff, that I might have joined this group of crazy people too hastily. Still, the atmosphere that was infinitely stiff was relieved thanks to that. Excessive tension in a really important situation was rather like poison. I also put my hand on the keyboard with a much more comfortable mind. The Guardian Guild Selection has begun! Notes: “Soju Hanjan.” (“쏴주 한잔”; this is an actual song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57RdgpX8LD8 – I like the live ver. more-) --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: they have time to make jokes, huh? -_- They are mentally going crazier than I thought lol I honestly don’t know if I could keep up this many jokes. GX: I don’t understand half of these jokes, but these people are crazy enough to make them before an important match. Well, you would need to be crazy enough to join Yoo Chae’s guild in the first place. We made a Discord Server! please join us!

37. Monday and Tuesday passed safely, and it was finally Wednesday. Ahead of the selection against the Fever Guild, Drink some water made a new discord chatroom. The participants were Yoo Chae, Let’s do this, Harn and me. They were all people who knew about the case where I had my staff taken away by the Fever Guild. [Drink some water] We'll wait in the center [Drink some water] When the selection begins [Drink some water] Head towards that newbie with the staff, when he appears [Harn] ok ok [Let’s do this] But who is that newbie? [Let’s do this] Isn’t it hard to know right away? Most certainly. Since the other guild members don’t know about the newbie or staff incident of the Fever Guild, it must be difficult for them to find them. [Drink some water] Agreed [Drink some water] Knowing that, I called in another person -Gugusudal-nim has joined the chat room- [Let’s do this] Uh? [Harn] Oh [Harn] sudal-nim hi [Gugusudal] hi [Drink some water] This guy has a sub account [Drink some water] It’s Gugusudal-nimㅋㅋㅋ [Drink some water] Gugusudal-nim is in Fever Guildㅋㅋㅋㅋ [I’m Sleepy] hi, [I’m Sleepy] hello [Gugusudal] hellonㅋㅋ [Gugusudal] when the selection starts [Gugusudal] I’ll check out where Newbie is going and chat here [I’m Sleepy] tk tk [Yoo Chae] Staff [Yoo Chae] How is it now? At the end, I was also wondering about that, but thankfully, Yoo Chae brought it up first. [Gugusudal] I don’t know the exact details [Gugusudal] I’m sure that it was strengthened, yeah [Gugusudal] I know that Gilma did it [Gugusudal] Newbie is a girl ㅋㅋ he’s devoted to her~~ [Harn] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Let’s do this] our Significant (refers to fever’s Guild master) [Let’s do this] is doing something strange again.. [Harn] fr It’s funny to watch him [Harn] He’s not growing up [Drink some water] Am I mistaken? [Drink some water] about Fever Gilma [Drink some water] he used to date with someone fk [Drink some water] Do u remember the news about publicly being dumped? [Harn] yeah that’s right [Harn] he’s that user who confessed at that time [Harn] he’s still playing video games [Let’s do this] In a male gamer’s life [Let’s do this] It’s only a nuisance [Harn] Anyway, the gilmas are the problem.. [Harn] Oops [Drink some water] fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [I’m Sleepy] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Yoo Chae] ㅋㅋ [Yoo Chae] Looks like he wants to lose his points again... [Harn] sori;; haha;; [Let’s do this] Those pucks who think they can do anything just because they’re women in the game [Let’s do this] fr it’s disgusting [Harn] Agreed, Uguk gross [Gugusudal] ㅋㅋ [Gugusudal] Surprisingly, the newbie has a good personality [Gugusudal] But I don’t do anything like communicate with her or anything like that. [Drink some water] If you want to do something like communication or platform [Drink some water] U wouldn’t want to go to Fever ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Let’s do this] yeahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [I’m Sleepy] As someone who takes care of things while playing games [I’m Sleepy] It’s not even two out of ten people, who do that [I’m Sleepy] It’s just easier to check videos When I needed information on strategies or skills, I turned it on occasionally and watched videos, and I tended not to click on free bulletin boards or incident/accident bulletin boards where users gathered and chatted. Even these days, I prefer videos because they are more convenient than written posts. [Yoo Chae] That’s right [Yoo Chae] Just stay like that if you can [Gugusudal] What’s funny about Significant is that [Gugusudal] he doesn’t have any interest in newbies ㅋㅋㅋ [Gugusudal] But now that they’re in the same guild [Gugusudal] They chat together and do discord together [Gugusudal] She was found out to be a woman after helping out in a Raid [Gugusudal] From then on, that treatment began ㅋ [Harn] Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Harn] She was chosen [Let’s do this] As it is [Drink some water] I feel sorry for the newbie... [Gugusudal] When the staff was given to the newbie [Gugusudal] she wouldn’t take it [Gugusudal] They really kept insisting about it again and again [Gugusudal] Saying that it’s not expensive ㅋㅋ like, just take it [Gugusudal] Like, if you keep refusing like that, she will be embarrassed about it, that tactic [Gugusudal] He deliberately used Guild Chat to let all the guild members know [Gugusudal] She was forced to take it [Harn] ? [Harn] Wow, that’s crazy; [Let’s do this] What’s with the fk gaslighting, it’s disgusting [Drink some water] A top-tier professional bastard to a newbie ㅋㅋ [Harn] really, The biggest problem is the real top tier professional people.. [Harn] Oops; [Harn] sori Gilma-nim [Yoo Chae] ?ㅋㅋ [Let’s do this] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Gugusudal] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I guessed it from the time he suddenly attacked me and took the staff, but I can’t believe he was trash to that extent. Well, since he was stamped as a madman all over the server, I didn’t think he was a normal person. [Gugusudal] Compared to that [Gugusudal] I felt that our Gilma-nim is a normal person [Harn] Yes [Harn] Looking back, he’s a totally good fairy ㅋㅋ (meaning he’s actually pretty nice.) [I’m Sleepy] That’s cute [Yoo Chae] Am I cute? [I’m Sleepy] ..? [Let’s do this] ? [Drink some water] Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Harn] omg [Harn] I feel dizzy “Ha……” I lowered my head and touched my forehead. Every time Yoo Chae did something like that, only a sigh came out. The first few times I was annoyed because I thought he was making fun of me, but now I know he meant it. Now, it was clear that he was asking because he was curious if I really found him cute. [Drink some water] Don’t leak it to the other side ㅋㅋㅋ [Drink some water] I’m sorry for that newbie [Drink some water] We must keep killing her until the staff drop [Drink some water] Let me know that newbie’s username [I’m Sleepy] When I practiced against the sharpshooter on Monday [I’m Sleepy] He dropped his weapon after about 5 times [Drink some water] It would be nice if that’s how it is with her too [Yoo Chae] The chance of dropping an item upon death is not high [Yoo Chae] We need some luck in order for that to happen [I’m Sleepy] yeah [Gugusudal] Newbie’s username [Gugusudal] Melody chord << This is it [Drink some water] the username is pretty ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Melody Chord. When the selection starts, I’ll have to find that username first, so I should memorize it well. [Gugusudal] I always think about that [Gugusudal] Why don’t they make items and weapons that drops every time one dies? [Harn] that would be a turn off for the game ㅋㅋ [Harn] It would be annoying to create a new item during a main event like the selection ㅋㅋㅋ [Let’s do this] It’s just.. “Internet game” [Drink some water] From our point of view now [Drink some water] that’s a gold chance [Yoo Chae] Hyung [Yoo Chae] We have to kill her as many times as possible as quickly as possible [Yoo Chae] Because it’s time attack The selection ends when the gauge is filled. Other guild members do not know my situation, so they will kill the enemy guild members as usual. [I’m Sleepy] okay Even if it wasn’t, I estimated the rate at which the gauge would fill up in advance during the two-day contest. Of course, it will be a little slower because Yoo Chae, which makes a big contribution to filling the gauge, will be out this time. [Drink some water] What we’re going to do is [Drink some water] I’m make it easier for Sleepy-nim to kill the newbiw by [Drink some water] taking care of the people around you [Gugusudal] But [Gugusudal] Significant will be next to the Newbie [Gugusudal] It was decided like that at the last meeting [Gugusudal] it might change when it starts later, yeah [I’m Sleepy] okok [I’m Sleepy] It’s rather good ㅋㅋ I didn’t have very good feelings for the Gilma of the Fever Guild either. If I was able to quickly get my staff back from the newbie, I wanted to fight the Fever Gilma once more. [Drink some water] There’s 30 minutes left [Drink some water] Everyone check ur items for the last time [Drink some water] Get on the voice call before the start of the selection [Drink some water] Sudal, you let me know the location of the newbie right away through chat [Gugusudal] Yep [Gugusudal] Guys, this is just a sub account [Gugusudal] If we ever run into each other, I’ll be gentle~ㅋㅋ As Drink some water said, I made up my mind by checking my equipments for the last time. *** Twenty minutes before the start of the selection, as we had previously said, we gathered in the Discord call room. It was to give a quicker and more accurate situation briefing. “Let’s wait in the center and go straight to the door when Gugusudal tells us in 50 minutes.” The attacking team cannot move out of the respawn zone from 6:50, 10 minutes before the start of the selection. At 50 minutes, it was revealed for the first time who would be assigned to which door. I turned the game screen slightly with the mouse while listening to what the Drink some water said. A silver flag was shining brilliantly behind my character. “Um, maybe they’ll come through the North Gate?” “It is most likely.” Drink some water agreed with Let’s do this’s suggestion. Two more minutes had passed since then, and the time had reached 6:47. As I was stretching my hands before an important decisive battle, a familiar voice spoke. “As much as possible, I’ll take care of the people around you first to make it easier for my Hyung to focus on the battle, and when things are organized to a certain extent, I’ll go help from then on.” Soft, moderately low voice. It was Yoo Chae’s. “If you die anyway, it will take time until the next resurrection. Hyung, are you going to be okay?” “It doesn’t matter.” When he asked, I nodded my head obediently. According to the story of Sudal, who was the side account in the Fever Guild, the newbie didn’t get the staff because she wanted it so there was no reason for me to obsess about killing her. The goal was always the staff. It was good to kill the newbie as many times as possible to get the staff back. ‘More than that...….’ I was a little surprised to see Yoo Chae say exactly what I was thinking. From before, I thought he was fairly good at this part, but now to this extent. “Hyung. When we start, you focus only on the staff. I’ll do my best to help you do that.” “Alright.” Besides, it felt like he was talking a lot these days. Just as I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, Drink some water also opened her mouth with a tone of surprise. “What’s going on? You’re talking a lot today.” “Because it’s an important day.” “Ah~is that so. Yea.” “Pfft!” Harn burst into laughter at Yoo Chae’s firm answer. Of course, I also had a funny laugh. It’s a joke, but I had to laugh. While chatting like that, it was already 6:50. As soon as the attacking team finished moving to the respawn zone, Sudal sent a discord message. [Gugusudal] You Guys [Gugusudal] it’s west gate --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei We made a Discord Server! please join us!

36. As soon as I finished my words, Yoo Chae kicked off the ground and flew towards the enemy team. [Guild] TheHunter: ? And then, the Hunter and Crazy Hunting Friend hurriedly pursued him. [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: No Fuc- [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: It’s troublesome if you go alone like that [Guild] TheHunter: fk was surprised The skill flying towards the Yoo Chae was blocked by Crazy Hunting Friend with a counterattack instead, while TheHunter dealt with the guy blocking the road. Dorahee also started giving buffs to match the battle. I nodded my head to the list of buffs that help defeat them. Since it is a battle of which a close dealer can deal with the support quickly, the buff was advantageous as well. Certainly, Dorahee, like the other guild members, was very good at game judgment. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Rahee-nim continue [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Please continue buffing to close dealer [Guild] This is Dorahee: haha Yea The One Heart, One Mind guild’s healers, buffers, and tanks should be left to close dealers, including Yoo Chae. We have to do our part from now on. [All] Unyum: Sleepy-nim is here~ haha [All] I’m Sleepy: Yes, it’s been a while [All] Unyum: I wanted to play the match with Sleepy-nim [All] Unyum: I’m tempted to deal with u as an enemy Unyum, who was the Guild Master of One Heart, One Mind, had really kind feelings. Even though Kim Dae-seok asked for it, he was the one who readily accepted the troubled newbie and took care in many ways so that the guild members would not misunderstand. If I hadn’t been involved with Yoo Chae, I would have stayed in One heart, One Mind guild and continued to work. If that were the case, I would have been on the side of One Heart, One mind Guild, not Early Evening, and would have done the preliminary round, while being on their side. [All] I’m Sleepy: I can’t let u off so easy unfortunately [All] I’m Sleepy: I’m very sorry too After I answered moderately, I slightly stretched my fingers. Whatever it was, they were enemies now. Besides, Unyum is a Berserker. It must have been his role to enter to kill the buffer and healer. From my point of view, who had to protect healers and buffers, it was an opponent I had to face properly from now on. [Guild] Harn: Kyaa [Guild] Harn: I’m Scared!>< As I expected, Unyun, who found Harn and Dorahee, pulled out the two swords he was carrying behind his back. At the same time, the whole body shimmered with a red light. It was Rage Impact, one of Berserker’s buff skills. It’s said to increase attack power and bleeding debuff rate. Healers and buffers, as well as ranged dealers like me, have to be careful not to get hit by direct attacks. [Guild] Bright Clouds: fr [Guild Bright Clouds: I’m too scared [Guild] Staric: Berserker is a difficult job Bright Clouds swung the long spear in a stance, and Staric put on a mask. Just like us, three guild members were visible behind Unyum. Sharpshooter, Warlord, and Summoner, respectively. Still, since these were fairly common jobs, it seemed that there was no one other than Unyum who was difficult to deal with. [Guild] Staric: I’ll deal [Guild] Staric: with the rest [Guild] Staric: Someone take on that Berserker ㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: This is what [Guild] Harn: A spearman should do it hahaㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Shit ㅠㅠ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Even the spearman is scaredㅠㅠ [Guild] Staric: Whoever takes charge of Berserker really is fearsome~ The master of spinning the bomb was the spearman Bright Clouds, who had the easiest skill set and the best skill set. My role this time was to keep the buffer and healer from dying, so I watched them quietly. Kekekekk, come on! Unyum’s character jumped at us shouting provocative lines. Bright Clouds intervened in the middle of the sword he wielded and blocked it with a spear. 「Die, die! 」 After he was stopped, Unyum laughed madly and swung his sword at Bright Clouds. It was terribly creepy to watch Unyum’s character with his light brown hair smiling and attacking wildly in a fit of madness. [All] Unyum: haha [All] Bright Clouds: I’m scared Fuckㅠhuㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Bright Clouds, who managed to block the skill that inflicted the bleeding debuff with a counterattack when hit, started to cry when facing the crazy Unyum right in front of his nose. Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! One Heart, One Mind Guild has earned 10 points! Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! Early Evening guild has earned 10 points! In the meantime, the score log went up. At first glance, our guild was in an overwhelmingly advantageous state. While checking the top gauge, which was rapidly filling up in real time, I used the E skill at the sharpshooter aiming towards Dora-hee. [All] College of Pure Medicine: ? The sharpshooter, who was tied up with restraints and stood still, expressed a question. What’s with that question mark? I moved my fingers quickly. The sharpshooter, who was hit in quick succession by the W with the most damage and the Q and R skills with the fastest casting speed, was left with 50% of his HP and hurriedly used his evasion skill to move out and widened the distance. [All] College of Pure Medicine: No, what the? [All] College of Pure Medicine: I thought it was someone else because he was holding a different weapon [All] College of Pure Medicine: I was fooled omg [All] I’m Sleepy: ? [All] Harn: Uk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] This is Dorahee: hahaㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: Breaking News [Guild] Harn: The enemy team has only recognized that you’re I’m Sleepy [Guild] Harn: Everyone’s shocked by the remarks that the weapon has been changed.. [Guild] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m getting lazy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: fk [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Yoo Chae: What kind of bastard is he, Hyungㅡㅡ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: You be quiet [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: Ah Fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Manaolingnam: Stop making me laugh fk [Guild] Manaolingnam: My skill keeps going off ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Let’s do this: What are you really doing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Having been properly teased, I laughed annoyedly and lunged at the sharpshooter who had provided the cause. For a Dark Mage, who has non-target skills mostly, it was important to maintain a certain distance when dealing with nearby enemies, but it didn’t matter because my skills were far superior, and I had already shed his blood. ‘Rather, it went well.’ It was necessary to see how many times I could kill only one person until the gauge was full. Because on Wednesday I have to fight like crazy with that newbie from Fever until the staff drops. I used the D skill while avoiding the sharp shooter’s arrows with control. The D skill, which lays on the floor in a round shape, was the only floor skill the Dark Mage possessed. The range was a little narrow and the damage was weak, but it had the effect of slowing the movement speed of enemies above. The sharp shooter’s countermeasures were learned to some extent while practicing in the Arena. There was no need to insist on the restraint skill for sharp shooters with many evasive skills. The sharpshooter, which had the advantage of being able to move around quickly due to the short cooldown of its evasion, was weak against mid-range dealers. In short, I will 100% win this fight. As I expected, I fired Q and R skills at the slow-moving sharpshooter under the effect of the floor debuff, and the opponent couldn’t avoid it and was hit with them all. As soon as I confirmed that the sharpshooter, who had only little stamina, used an evasion skill in panic, I effortlessly used my Q skill again. Sharpshooter’s character slumped to the floor with a groan. [All] College of Pure Medicine: No [All] College of Pure Medicine: ;; Early Evening Guild has earned 10 points! For someone who didn’t know how to deal with the Dark Mage, it was advantageous to save the only CC skill, Binding, and the W skill, which had the strongest damage. The opponent will always save the evasion skill in case I use those two skills. I won both the timing fight and the control fight. If you die in the selection, you will be resurrected for a certain period until the gauge is full and ends. After calculating the speed at which the gauge fills up and the time it takes to resurrected, I have calculated that I can kill at least 5 more times. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: guys [Guild] I’m Sleepy: is it difficult? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: tk If it is, I’m going to kill that sharpshooter more since I just killed one [Guild] Harn: omg omg [Guild] TheHunter: omg omg [Guild] This is Dorahee: I think you can do it if u want haha Bright Clouds, who managed to block Unyum while receiving buffs and heals, died, but thanks to Staric, who dug into the gap well, killed him instead, the situation was not as tough as before. [Guild] Drink some water: be right back There’s plenty here [Guild] Drink some water: I’ll be going as an additional support in the north [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ok ok I won’t have to worry if Drink some water, a tanker with good skills, partners up with them. I was genuinely delighted and went out to find a sharpshooter with the username College of Pure Medicine while holding onto my staff. *** An hour has passed since the start of the contest. Having filled up the gauges, we finished the selection against early. The result was, of course, our guild’s overwhelming victory with a 60% difference. [All] Unyum: Ah haha it’s alright [All] Unyum: It was fun~ Early Evening guys~~ [All] Drink some water: It’s a gg* Even though One heart, One had lost, the atmosphere itself was quite good. It seems that they knew that it would be difficult to win. Originally, for the rest of the time, we would have chosen a guild of a similar level that had finished the selection as quickly as we had and went to attack, but we all chose to rest. [All] College of Pure Medicine: fk [All] College of Pure Medicine: That guild’s dark mage is really good The sharpshooter, who had died by my hands a total of 8 times during the final round, hit the chat with a huff. If he died 8 times, it was like he was resurrected and then killed by me over and over again. [All] Mocha Bread: fr [All] Mocha Bread: Sleepy-nim was really crazy.. [All] Yoo Chae: He’s cool, right? ㅎㅡㅎ [All] TheHunter: How many times did you kill him? [All] Park Seungjin99: First of all, I stopped counting after 5 ㅋ [All] Crazy Hunting Friend: Isn’t it 10 times? [All] College of Pure Medicine: 8 times, right? [All] Manaolingnam: Notㅋㅋㅋ10 times, it’s 8 ㅋㅋㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: You first quarreled with me abt my weapon ㅋㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: Karma, right? [All] College of Pure Medicine: Ah, ㅅ1fk [All] College of Pure Medicine: Even the way you speak is gagging me Unn. That’s what I mean by making you more annoying. [All] College of Pure Medicine: nim [All] I’m Sleepy: ? [All] College of Pure Medicine: Please add me as friend [All] I’m Sleepy: ?? [All] Yoo Chae: ? [All] College of Pure Medicine: fk After the selection ends [All] College of Pure Medicine: Let’s 1:1 [All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: ok It was an unexpected offer, but it’s nothing bad. I sympathized with that sense of triumph and persistence as the same gamer. Even after I accepted the invitation of adding a friend, College of Pure Medicine has been grumbling for a while. It must have been quite a shock for him to have died again and again. [Guild] Yoo Chae: That Guild [Guild] Yoo Chae: I really don’t like it... [Guild] Drink some water: Hey [Guild] Drink some water: thank you for using the guild chat instead of the everyone chat [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Yeah [Guild] Park Seungjin99: What did you do that? [Guild] Yoo Chae: I did it through the everyone chat previously [Guild] Yoo Chae: What if Sleepy Hyung gets angry? ㅜㅡㅜ [Guild] I’m getting lazy: ;; [Guild] Staric: omg… Yoo Chae, who really didn’t like seeing me add anyone as a friend, whimpered like a dog whose tail was trampled on without fail, but I neatly ignored it. If I ask him whether he’s coming along, the child’s habit will get worse. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: (from the chapter comment) -A stalwart 23-year-old man who has become a child-like person...

35. An hour later, before the selection started, we checked our positions one last time. A new white flag with a golden eagle pattern was planted in the central square of Veritas, the city to be protected. We have to block the entrance as much as possible so that the flag is not captured by the attacking team. Once the selection starts, a gauge appears at the top of the screen, and the team that fills the gauge first wins. Every time you kill an opponent, the gauge is filled by the amount of points given, and you had to be especially careful because you could get 40% of the gauge at once if you took the flag. Among the entrances open to the north, south, east and west, the north gate closest to the center with the flag was in charge of me and other 30 members of the guild, including Yoo Chae, Dorahee, Crazy hunting friend, TheHunter, Harn, and Bright Clouds. The selection is one of the biggest events held by Zenoris, so I saw a lot of guild members I didn’t know because they didn’t usually participate in the guild chat or their logging rate was low. With the buffer, Dorahee, taking over the north gate, the tank, Drink some water, and the healer, Harn, will occupy the western and southern positions. Mocha Bread, a summoner who can deal with multiple enemies, was placed in the east. [All] Pisit blue card: fk ㅈWhen does it start?? [All] Black Wolf: @@@ Recruiting only 2 people from the temple quest @@@ [All] dkandkan: around 7 o’clock [All] Keigani: Who is the opponent??? [All] A mad bee man: Isn’t it One Heart One Will? [All] Hershey’s Chocolate: Selling popcorn~^^ [All] King Baek Sung-eung: If you are from One Mind One Will, Early Evening will be good to you ㅋㅋ [All] Swan: Popcorn please While viewing the chat of the users flocking to watch the selection, I looked at the guild members waiting for 7:00. It was evident that no one was nervous, probably because there was a difference in skills between the guilds of this opponent, One Heart One Mind. From 7:00, when the selection starts, all the field PVP will be locked, and the system will be changed so that only users belonging to the guild participating in the selection, Early Evening, and One Heart One Mind can battle. It’s not just Veritas, the situation is the same in other cities and towns. [Kim Dae-seok: ㅋㅋ] [Kim Dae-seok: Yoo Jihan, Be prepared ㅋㅋ] [Kim Dae-seok: The army is coming!] The message sent by Kim Dae-seok, a member of the One Heart One Mind guild, made me laugh out loud. It wasn’t worth answering, so I ignored it and turned my gaze to the game screen. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: Will you go to the farm quests after the selection? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: What if I’m too tired to do that? [Guild] Yoo Chae: I want to visit too ㅎㅡㅎ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: okay After I started the farm quest in earnest, Yoo Chae came to the farm every day to help me. He started by giving items with farm buffs, gave tips on easily completing quests, or bought fairly expensive decorative items. No matter how much I tell him to decorate his own farm, he’ll say, ‘Wasn’t Hyung’s farm our newlyweds’ house? Or ‘are you going to use your own room now?’ I was in a state of giving up to some extent now that he was talking nonsense like that. [Guild] Staric: A person close to Gilma-nim like that [Guild] Staric: It seems like the first time I’ve seen someone like that, other than Drink some water-nim [Guild] Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Don’t pay any attention.. [Guild] Harn: fr though, I like that [Guild] Staric: ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: But Staric-nim [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: What brings you here? [Guild] Staric: Just happened to leave work on time haha [Guild] Let’s do this: welcome~ ㅋ [Guild] Staric: But I don’t know about tomorrow tho ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Staric: ㅠㅠ A guild member named Staric was an office worker whose logging rate with his Zenoris account dropped dramatically after he had succeeded in getting a job. His skills are apparently quite good, according to what Drink some water told me separately. [Guild] Mocha Bread: Office workers are really.. [Guild] I’ll take care of you: Who else is working here? [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: Me ㅋ [Guild] I’m Dorahee: I’m an office worker too haha [Guild] Manaolingnam: I am very curious about Gilma-nim [Guild] Manaolingnam: Is he a student or an office worker? [Guild] Harn: fr [Guild] Bright Clouds: He must be a student [Guild] Staric: A college student? [Guild] Bright Clouds: No Elementary [Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seungjin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Yoo Chae:? [Guild] Drink some water: Ah Fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Staric: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Manaolingnam: Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ it’s so trueㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung... [Guild] Yoo Chae: Why are you laughing too..? ㅜㅡㅜ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Because it’s funny ㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Even Sleepy-nim admits it~ [Guild] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋ Guild member Bright Clouds’s contribution to the guild has been changed to 0 points. [Guild] Bright Clouds: Ah [Guild] Manaolingnam: ? [Guild] Staric: Gosh [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Judge-nim, I didn’t do anything [Guild] Harn: I’m innocent [Guild] Bright Clouds: Wait a minute, justice whereㅠ A sigh came out at the sight of Yoo Chae’s immediate retaliation for being teased by a guild member. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: It’s just a joke, why did you do that? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: put it back [Guild] Yoo Chae: Why don’t you take my side? [Guild] Yoo Chae: It’s really too much.. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: put it back [Guild] Yoo Chae: Huk.. ㅠㅡㅠ Guild member Bright Clouds‘s contribution to the guild has been changed to 180 points. [Guild] Bright Clouds: phew Thank God [Guild] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim Tk Tk [Guild] I’m Sleepy: good [Guild] Bright Clouds: 210 points became 180 points [Guild] Bright Clouds: Who is the rest haha [Guild] Park Seungjin99: fkㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: atleast you have somethingㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Staric: ㅋㅋㅋok [Guild] Staric: Gilma-nim and Sleepy-nim [Guild] Staric: I understand what kind of relationship you two are in [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: We’re not in a relationship? [Guild] Staric: ?? [Guild] Staric: You’re not Gilma-nim’s girlfriend-nim?? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ??? Not this again, what the fuck is this bullshit? [Guild] Drink some water: uk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Girlfriend ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Let’s do this: Hey Staric-nim, did you already notice? [Guild] Park Seungjin99: fr You’re quick-witted.. [Guild] TheHunter: Girl ㅋㅋㅋ Friend ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: For reals― ―Why are you two dating secretlyㅡ ㅡ [Guild] Drink some water: I know rightㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: I’m sorry ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m a guy fk.. [Guild] Staric: omg for real? [Guild] Staric: Then you two... Um... [Guild] Mocha Bread: Staric-nim is embarrassedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: No, we’re not in a relationship.. [Guild] Park Seungjin99: So when do you get married? [Guild] Yoo Chae: It’ll happen soon haha [Guild] Manaolingnam: Oh oh~~~ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Oh~~~ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: fuck [Guild] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ As I couldn’t hold back my annoyance, I hit Yoo Chae, who was clinging to the side with a staff, but the character’s movements suddenly stopped and the field PVP was closed. At 6:50, the waiting time for the selection began. [Guild] Drink some water: Guys, stop fooling around [Guild] Drink Some Water: Focus [Guild] Mocha Bread: Yes [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Yep [Guild] Drink some water: If you think something is going to break through [Guild] Drink some water: use flares before it’s too late [Guild] Drink some water: especially the central team [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: ok ok Almost at the same time as Drink some water chatted, about 30 users appeared on the other side. They were the guild members of the guild waiting in the respawn zone. [All] Unyum: Hello haha Unyum, whom we had met before, sent us a greeting. Two golden swords were strapped to his back. Come to think of it, did that user named Unyum say his job was a Berserker? Berserkers usually use longer swords or greatswords unlike warlords. [All] Soeso: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Soeso: hi~~~ Behind the rhyme, many guild members, including Kim Dae-seok, could be seen. It seems that also invested a lot of manpower to easily penetrate the north gate closest to the center. ‘Looks like there are two or three more than us.’ Then, the key was to quickly deal with the healers, buffers, and tankers on the other side. [All] Soeso: I’m Sleepy, come on [All] Soeso: This Hyung-nim will deal with you! [All] I’m Sleepy: ? ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] TheHunter: Does he know Sleepy-nim? [Guild] Harn: I think I heard that he was his real-life friend What about the opponent being a healer? The probability of encountering a healer who replenished the stamina of the teammates in the deepest part of the camp was extremely low, since they lacked evasion skill and low stamina. To deal with healers or buffers, who avoid direct skills, Warlord or Infighter, which had a lot of evasion and some damage and tanking, were perfect. Chain Blade is also good. ‘Wait, Yoo Chae is Chain Blade, right?’ Recalling that he had that rare Chain Blade job, I quickly looked at the weapons of the opposing players. Only Kim Dae-seok was holding the white staff that a healer usually carries. Then, there is only one healer. If only Kim Dae-seok could be killed quickly, there was a good chance that we would win more easily. I typed lightly on the keyboard. [All] I’m Sleepy: Kim Yoo-chae [All] Yoo Chae: Yes? [All] I’m Sleepy: That time we met you.. Uh… what was your username again? As I scratched my forehead and rolled my head, the username of Kim Dae-seok’s sub account barely came to mind. [All] I’m Sleepy: Do you remember that guy called I got you I got you? [All] Soeso: ?? [All] I’m Sleepy: The one we met in front of the Keyrant Dungeon [All] Yoo Chae: Yes, I remember Since he was Cotton Candy Fox and he was already found out, even if he was Yoo Chae, he would not lie anymore and answered meekly. [All] I’m Sleepy: That’s Soeso, that’s him [All] I’m Sleepy: he made fun of you, who pretended to be a woman on purpose ㅋㅋ [All] Soeso: ??? [All] Yoo Chae: Ah [All] Yoo Chae: Really? ㅋㅋ Yoo Chae, who immediately understood what I was saying, took out his golden chain. You’re quick-witted. [All] Soeso: wait [All] Soeso: Hey I smiled deeply at the flustered Kim Dae-seok, who seemed to not know what to do in this situation. [All] I’m Sleepy: go and kill him At the same time as the chat, a system message appeared at the top of the screen.

34. Is this guy crazy? Now that you’ve been caught, are you saying you’re going to play as Cotton Candy Fox with confidence? Cotton Candy Fox appeared in the place where Yoo Chae’s character disappeared. As soon as he appeared, the guild members were frightened when they saw Cotton Candy Fox running towards me. [Party] Manaolingnam: Ah Fuck Surprised me [Party] Harn: Eh? Cotton Candy Fox?? [Party] Park Seungjin99: Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m getting lazy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Park Seungjin99: I think I'm going crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Mocha Bread: That’s so funny fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Drink some water: ;; [All] Drink some water: what the fuck are you doing? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Let me in Cotton Candy Fox, who received the party invite window done by Water, entered and chatted to me as if he had been waiting for it. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Hyung Hyung, if this is the case [Party] Cotton candy fox: Since I’m a buffer too, will you let me into your team? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: This buffer is really good!! ㅎㅡㅎ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Team up with me! team up!! ㅜ.ㅜ “Hu…….” I laughed and hung my head. I’m really turning this around. [Party] TheHunter: Wait a minute [Party] TheHunter: Surprisingly fr the balance might be right??? [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: Make this a team with Gilma-nim and Sleepy-nim [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: I think we should send Dorahee to the other side? [Party] Haerun: but Cotton Candy Fox isn’t at the highest level tho? [Party] Bright Clouds: It won’t be easy to kill him cuz he’s Gilma-nim [Party] Bright Clouds: he’s a Buffer anyway so, the dealers will protect you [Party] TheHunter: yeah [Party] TheHunter: The buff percentage will still be lower than Dorahee’s [Party] TheHunter: If you put a strong dealer over there, it would be a good match [Party] I’m getting lazy: Oh sure? Perhaps because Cotton Candy Fox was a buffer, it became an atmosphere where everyone was welcomed with open arms. ‘Fuck.’ I never imagined it would turn out like this. I clutched my throbbing head. *** The selection is three days away. Guild chats heated up with discussions about the selection, which will start at 7:00 PM tomorrow. [Guild] Drink some water: First of all, the schedule [Guild] Drink some water: I posted it on the group chat, so check it out [Guild] Drink some water: We’ll basically focus doing defense [Guild] Drink some water: If you are not in a hurry to be elsewhere, please join us [Guild] Harn: yep yep [Guild] Mocha Bread: Yes [Guild] Park Seungjin99: Okyo [Guild] Drink some water: Do one last check on Sunday I checked the schedule image uploaded to the group chat room. Each day of the week had a different guild name written on it, and some seemed familiar to me. ‘What? the guild ‘One Heart, One Will’ also applied?’ The guild that Kim Dae-seok is in and the guild I entered for a very short time, the ‘One Heart, One Will’ guild’s attack day was set for Monday. Redemption, the second place guild, is on Sunday. The most important Guild, Fever, was on Wednesday. It was true what Yoo Chae said that Fever would attack first either on the second or third days after the start of the tournament. In the selection, guilds of similar level are matched based on guild experience. Meaning that you would have to deal with anyone, who’s not at your level, just because you asked for an attack. Since Early Evening was the guild that ranked first, it was obvious that most of the opponent guilds were also top-ranked guilds. ‘This sounds like fun?’ All skillful users get together and fight? It was already fun just thinking about it. In particular, I was looking forward to seeing the Redemption Guild because it was a skilled Guild recognized by Yoo Chae. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Let’s not practice today? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: okay Thanks to practicing hard in the arena with the guild members for the past week, I got used to the skill combo. And thanks to the help of Yoo Chae and the usable equipment, the preparations for the selection that will begin tomorrow are somewhat finished. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Then [Whisper] Yoo Chae: What are you doing today? What am I going to do? Yeah. there’s nothing to do. There was no one in the guild today, and after thinking about it for a while touching my piercing, I gave a rough answer. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’m going to do some personal farm quests The personal farm quest was one of the healing life contents that had nothing to do with combat or growth. You can’t go beyond without doing healing content, which is called the flower of RPG games. When your Zenoris account reaches max level, a quest to build a personal farm would arrive to you. I had just built it and left it unattended, so only stones were rolling around on the farm. I have nothing to do, so I should decorate the farm with something. It wasn’t a bad choice anyway, since raising the farm to level 20 gives additional buffs. ‘Maybe it’ll be better than I thought?’ Motivation began to rise towards the farm quest, which had been taken out without meaning before. I headed straight to the personal farm in the middle of the day, and the land appeared, overgrown with weeds. Such an empty field. It’s level 1, so of course it is. I rummaged through the quest window and found a farm quest that had been tucked away in a corner. What must I do first? Was it plowing? When I took out the hoe I had received while building the farm, Yoo Chae couldn’t stand it and whined. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I want to take a look too [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: See what? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I want to see your personal farm!ㅇㅅㅇ What’s there to see? I guess he really has nothing to do. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: okay Yoo Chae appeared right away, less than 10 seconds after I sent the confirmation. Yoo Chae was shocked to see my empty farm. [All] Yoo Chae: Gosh [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. You’re really poor [All] I’m Sleepy: ?? [All] Yoo Chae: There’s not even a house… [All] Yoo Chae: Do you sleep on the ground at night?ㅠ What are you talking about, you bastard? [All] I’m Sleepy: Hey, then just fuck off [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: Just kidding ㅎ.ㅎ As soon as I arrived, I ignored Yoo Chae who was talking nonsense and started plowing. Every time the character vigorously moved his arm, the ground, which had been crumbly and full of stones, began to change little by little to a moist, dark brown ground. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. [All] Yoo Chae: Would you like to have this? Yoo Chae, who was watching the field plowing, suddenly made a transaction. I wanted to have something, so I accepted. What appeared on the trading window was none other than a straw hat. ‘This bastard...………….’ I was working hard, so he’s throwing me an item like this? Just when I was about to refuse it, I noticed that the buff, , was written on the details of the Straw Hat. [All] I’m Sleepy: haha tk [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ As soon as I received the item without any complaints, Yoo Chae laughed. It seems that he also figured out which item to give me. Should I praise him for doing this? [All] Yoo Chae: Cute!>ㅡ< As I put on the straw hat, Yoo Chae jumped around me. Hmm. At that, I turned the character around. It’s a good fit. I put the Straw Hat’s buff on my back and quickly plowed the rest of the ground as well. A new quest flew in as the farm rose to level 2 along with a cheerful sound effect that said, “Let’s plow all the land.” This time I had to grow tomatoes by sowing seeds. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: Take this too Yoo Chae, who had stood there without saying anything, made a transaction again. Is this a buff item again? As soon as I accepted the deal with a throbbing heart, the items came pouring in. A beautiful romantic house, a swing to ride with your partner, a fragrant tea time table, a flowered honeysuckle, blooming sunflower seeds, 100 of them....... ‘What the?’ Buffs filled the transaction window with endless farm decoration items that could not even be seen. Feeling my head hurting just looking at it, I touched my forehead. I thought he realized what items I like, but I must have been mistaken. Even cash items are mixed. Why are you spending money on something like this? [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung! [All] Yoo Chae: Decorate the land with this!! ㅎㅡㅎ “……” I was about to press refusal with a sigh, but I stopped my hand at the chatter of Yoo Chae that followed. It was not easy for me to ruthlessly reject him when I was watching the excited guy as if it were a part of my job. [All] I’m Sleepy: the land’s small [All] I’m Sleepy: I don’t think I can put all of these [All] Yoo Chae: Reduce the field into two [All] Yoo Chae: You can put them [All] Yoo Chae: Fields can only be used for experience anyway Yoo Chae, realizing that I was troubled, hurriedly added an explanation. [All] Yoo Chae: You’re level 2 right now, right? [All] Yoo Chae: If you harvest tomatoes, you’ll level 3 right away, then it’ll give you a free extension ticket [All] Yoo Chae: You can install all items with that. Oh. If so, is it really worth it? But I didn’t want to take it lightly, so I played around pretending to be worried. [All] I’m Sleepy: I don’t want to decorate [All] I’m Sleepy: no interest ㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: Noㅜㅡㅜ [All] Yoo Chae: It’s easy to decorate! [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung, If you don’t accept this, this is useless.. [All] Yoo Chae: I can’t even sell it again ㅜ.ㅜ [All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ In the end, after receiving all the items, I changed the settings to a regular land where items can be installed, except for the two fields to be used for experience, as Yoo Chae said. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung, the house’s here! [All] Yoo Chae: Leave the house here and install those four in front! Yoo Chae ran all over the farm. Sure, sure. I diligently installed the items as Yoo Chae told me to do. After harvesting the tomatoes and increasing the size of the land with the extension ticket, and installing all the rest of the items, the inside of the farm changed noticeably from the beginning. A white two-story house with roses, a tea table with chairs. Yellow sunflowers and a swing installed between them. A landscape that seemed to come out of a fairy tale was completed. [All] Yoo Chae: Isn’t it pretty??? [All] I’m Sleepy: yeah As it was decorated according to Yoo Chae’s words, it looked much better and made me feel better. Suddenly, I remembered the Yoo Chae’s farm I had seen the other day. The farm was bigger than mine, and it was a pretty farm, brightly decorated with all kinds of flowers and trees. Now that I see it, he definitely has a talent for decorating. Yoo Chae, who was looking around the farm, hurriedly ran to my side and showed a shy expression of emotion. [All] Yoo Chae: I’m so happy [All] Yoo Chae: The newlywed house where Hyung and I’ll live in♥ [All] I’m Sleepy: Bullshit, no [All] Yoo Chae: It’s not bullshit ㅜㅡㅜ After thinking for a while, I added. [All] I’m Sleepy: but [All] I’m Sleepy: thanks to you, I don’t have to sleep on the ground ㅋㅋ [All] I’m Sleepy: thank you When I thanked Yoo Chae, who had helped me by buying and decorating each item, in my own way, the character of the guy who was fluttering around next to me stopped. Then, after a while, his answer came. [All] Yoo Chae: If not me, who else cares about Hyung? [All] Yoo Chae: Should I buy a bed to install in the house while I’m at it?? [All] I’m Sleepy: No~ Stop it now~ [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: Yes ㅎㅡㅎ --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: me remembering Genshin Impact from this. MM: Lmao I’m heading to my teapot rn to redecorate GX: I feel so bad now, I don’t even have a bed in my teapot.

33. The meaning of the word ‘going well’ here is what I think of, right? I was dumbfounded and stunned. Where the hell do you mean? No, how many days have we even known each other? [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: seriously [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: I don't know what you're talking about [Whisper] Drink some water: ?? [Whisper] Drink some water: Aren't you dating Rahee? I... A slight dizziness arose at the words I hadn't even imagined. I never thought I would hear the word ‘dating’ in an online game. After squeezing my tired eyes with my hand, I answered. [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: I’m not... [Whisper] Drink some water: Gosh Is that true? [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: yes [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: Why did you misunderstand that in the first place? [Whisper] Drink some water: Ah [Whisper] Drink some water: You two look so good together [Whisper] Drink some water: And Rahee’s a woman buffer [Whisper] Drink some water: That’s why I assumed [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: A woman buffer? ㅋㅋㅋ What the hell does being a woman have to do with a game and what does a buffer have to do with it? I'm not a bastard who's obsessed with that kind of woman...…………. ‘....Wait. Crazy about women?' At that moment, a terrifying speculation rushed into my mind. 'Crazy... no way?' A woman buffer. Obsessed with women. All of this was mish-mashed inside my head and brought back memories of the past. "Haa......." Covering my face with both hands, I let out a deep sigh. Fuck you, Yoo Chae bastard…… The absurd emotion disappeared and in its place was filled with hot anger. I typed harshly on my keyboard, barely suppressing the sizzling rage inside. [Party] I'm Sleepy: Kim Yoo-chae [Party] I'm Sleepy: come right now [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes? [Party] Bright Clouds: ?? [Party] Harn: Eh? Yoo Chae, who was repairing his weapon, saw my chat and came running in a hurry. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: I'm not Kim-ssi! [Party] Yoo Chae: But why? ㅎㅡㅎ After I jumped right in front of him, I swung my staff at the incoming Yoo Chae without hesitation. Bam! A light blow echoed across the field. [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅜㅡㅜ? Yoo Chae’s physical strength decreased slightly after being hit by me. It's about the size of an insect bite. I knew that, but this bastard was really garbage among garbage. [Party] Yoo Chae: It hurts! [Party] Yoo Chae: Why are you hitting me!— — What, is this guy rebelling? I laughed and banged his head once more with a Bam! The health bar was still reduced to the size of an ant mucus. [Party] I'm Sleepy: Are you asking because you don't know that right now? Perhaps it was unfair to be suddenly scolded, Yoo Chae did not bend and whimpered. [Party] Yoo Chae: I don't know! [Party] Yoo Chae: I didn't do anything wrong this time... [Party] Yoo Chae: It's true... The guild members, who were watching our conversation, secretly began to gather as if they had smelled the honey jam. [Party] Bright Clouds: ?? [Party] Bright Clouds: What’s going on? [Party] TheHunter: idk [Party] Harn: Guess Gilma-nim did something wrong again ㅋ [Party] Harn: it’s obvious by now [Party] Park Seungjin99: fr [Party] Drink some water: Um.. [Party] Drink some water: I think I know the problem a little bit right now [Party] Mocha Bread: ㅇㅅㅇ? [Party] Drink some water: I guess Yoo Chae is the problem ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Manaolingnam: As expected ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Harn: Need Popcorn munch munch Every time I typed in chat, I kept hitting Yoo Chae’s head with a light click. Yoo Chae also calmly received the hit, perhaps realizing that I wasn't doing this as a joke. [Party] I'm Sleepy: Kim Yoo-chae [Party] I'm Sleepy: Answer honestly, don't lie [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. [Party] Yoo Chae: I'm not really Kimㅠㅠ [Party] I'm Sleepy: no, not that; I exhaled a long, complex breath and sat upright. It was an issue that had to be addressed at least once. Thankfully, Drink some water spoke up first, so I can't just blow this opportunity away. [Party] Yoo Chae: Then what is it? I just threw the main topic out of the blue without looking any further. [Party] I'm Sleepy: Are you Cotton Candy Fox? [Party] Park Seungjin99: Gosh [Party] Mocha Bread: omg [Party] Manaolingnam: ? [Party] Manaolingnam: Sleepy-nim, did you know that? [Party] Mocha Bread: I guess so While the guild members were talking excitedly, Yoo Chae remained silent without answering. Are you trying to escape by saying no, or are you embarrassed? [Party] I'm Sleepy: let's have you say it clearly [Party] I'm Sleepy: If you lie again this time [Party] I'm Sleepy: I don’t even care abt the staff. I'll just turn off the game here and delete it. At the mention of deleting the game, Yoo Chae’s character flinched, and a chat came up urgently. [Party] Yoo Chae: don’t do that [Party] Yoo Chae: It was me [Party] Yoo Chae: Sorry [Party] I'm Sleepy: Is this a sincere apology? [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes.. [Party] Yoo Chae: Actually, I went on a raid with Hyung using that [Party] Yoo Chae: I was going to tell you as soon as you reached max level [Party] Yoo Chae: But things have changed as you can see… My mouth remained closed at the explanation of Yoo Chae that followed. That's why, when I got into trouble because I didn't join any guilds, he went on a raid with me and tried to tell me honestly when I reached max level. However, as I met the Fever Guild and they took away the staff, Yoo Chae's plan went wrong. [Party] I'm Sleepy: No, then you're good at cheating; [Party] I'm Sleepy: Did you know you were making it obvious? [Party] Yoo Chae: When did you know? [Party] I'm Sleepy: It was during the raid that I knew it right away [Party] Yoo Chae: That fast? Rather, I was dumbfounded by the surprised response. Did you really think you wouldn't get caught? Didn't you act the same way you did with your main account? [Party] Mocha Bread: I understand [Party] Mocha Bread: You must be bad at acting ㅋㅋ [Party] Manaolingnam: fr.. It was Gilma-nim himself [Party] Park Seungjin99: Now that that’s over [Party] Park Seungjin99: it's understandable of what’s going on rnㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Is that bad? [Party] Manaolingnam: Just the same Gilma-nim as usual; [Party] Park Seungjin99: yeah [Party] Park Seungjin99: And speaking of Gilma-nim [Party] Park Seungjin99: after Sleepy-nim came to our guild [Party] Park Seungjin99: He never used the Cotton Candy Fox account ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Harn: Ah that’s what happened [Party] Mocha Bread: Ah It's a pity that I’m getting lazy-nim didn’t see it [Party] Mocha Bread: I’m getting lazy-nim would have had a lot to sayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Judging by the conversation, it seems that the guild members who went around the raid with Cotton Candy Fox at that time were Mocha Bread, Park Seungjin, Manaolingnam, and Let’s do this. [Party] Drink some water: it's not even his own sub-account [Party] Drink some water: Cotton Candy Fox is my second account fk Was Water even ripped off from her sub-account by him? What a mess. [Party] I'm Sleepy: I understand everything now [Party] I'm Sleepy: If raising me to my max level was the only purpose, I could just do it by myself [Party] I'm Sleepy: Why did you do netkama while chatting using the word ‘Oppa’? To be honest, it was easier to recognize that it was Yoo Chae because of the clumsy woman's guise. Yoo Chae, who hesitated for a long time at my question, hit the chat with a tone mixed with annoyance. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung said he likes women [Party] Yoo Chae: You actually liked it, right? [Party] I'm Sleepy: what are you talking about… [Party] I'm Sleepy: when did I say I liked women? [Party] I'm Sleepy: About being nice to Cotton Candy Fox [Party] I'm Sleepy: I did it on purpose since I happened to notice that it was you; [Party] Mocha Bread: ???? [Party] Mocha Bread: Oppa surely will~ Something like this? [Party] I'm Sleepy: Yes [Party] I'm Sleepy: I was trying to screw up the Netkama [Party] Drink some water: Then [Party] Drink some water: Wasn't it going well with Rahee? [Party] I'm Sleepy: No [Party] I'm Sleepy: Not in a romantic relationship [Party] Drink some water: If not, but [Party] Drink some water: Rahee doesn't seem to hate it either... [Party] This is Dorahee: What? Dorahee, who had finished repairing weapons and equipment coolly, not caring about what we were talking about, belatedly looked up the chat log and chatted. [Party] This is Dorahee: Ah haha [Party] This is Dorahee: Whenever I talk to I’m Sleepy-nim [Party] This is Dorahee: Gilma-nim's reaction was so funny haha [Party] Harn: What? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Drink some water: ?? [Party] I'm getting lazy: Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Bright Clouds: Made a Legend today ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. [Party] Yoo Chae: That person, Dora is being mean to me ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] I'm Sleepy: Don’t be rude [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: Dorahee-nim's username ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I knew it. Every time Yoo Chae was irritated before, she commented with a 'haha', so I guessed it to some extent. [Party] I'm Sleepy: Anyway [Party] I'm Sleepy: what I did to Cotton Candy Fox [Party] I'm Sleepy: Like asking for a number or asking to speak in DC was done on purpose [Party] I'm Sleepy: I'm not crazy about women [Party] I'm Sleepy: It’s a misunderstanding [Party] Drink some water: ok ok [Party] Drink some water: Ah, that's funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Harn: So what about online dating? [Party] I'm Sleepy: I don't do that fk; [Party] Harn: too good~ [Party] Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Manaolingnam: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Mocha Bread: Sleepy-nim [Party] Mocha bread: About what happened today [Party] Mocha Bread: Can I upload it to the guild group chat? ㅇㅅㅇㅋㅋ [Party] I'm Sleepy: you can upload it^^.. [Party] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Unlike me, who was tired, I could only sigh when I saw the guild members laughing at this situation. Anyway, I'm glad this cleared up the misunderstanding. From now on, there will be no misunderstandings between me and Dorahee, and everyone will know that I’m not a fool who’s crazy about women. [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: You guys [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: What about our Arena?? [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: More? [Party] Drink some water: Let’s go [Party] Drink some water: Sleepy, do you want to continue? [Party] I'm Sleepy: let's do it I need to practice too [Party] Harn: Good [Party] Harn: Shall we split into teams? Going back to the Arena, I left the conversation aside and sent a whisper to Yoo Chae. What I want to say to him is not over yet. [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: besides Cotton Candy Fox [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: If you have any other lies, tell me now [Whisper] Yoo Chae: There’s nothing else [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I'm sorry Hyung The answer that came back after a long time was quite firm. Well, it hasn't been long since we met, so there can’t be another lie anyway. [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: it wasn't because of bad intentions anyway [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: I'm going to forgive you for deceiving me this time [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: but this is the last time [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: there's no next time [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: ok? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yeah.. Yoo Chae, who was scolded a lot, started chatting with low spirits. If I push this any further, he might even cry. 'I'm the one who suffered, so why are you acting pitifully?' Even as I was thinking that, the sullen appearance of Yoo Chae caught my heart. Well, he said he’s not going to do that anymore, so I guess I should stop here. [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: I hope you understand [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: and this is something else [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: You looked after me earlier, right? I recalled the Arena battle I had just played. Yoo Chae stopped moving as if it had lagged at the timing that could have killed me. No matter how much I thought about it, it must have been intentional while looking after me. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Um... [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes, I did that without even realizing it. [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: It's been a long time since I practiced combos [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: there's no need to do that [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: don't look after me, do what you do [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: that's comfortable for me too [Whisper] I'm Sleepy: Going all at me is 100 times better than watching over me [Whisper] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes I will Yoo Chae, who heard me, sent his laughter. Why does he suddenly look like he's in a good mood? I can’t figure him out anyway. [Party] Harn: Isn't it okay to team Sleepy-nim and Rahee-nim like before? [Party] Manaolingnam: Then the balance is too bad [Party] Manaolingnam: Honestly, our team won by luck earlier [Party] TheHunter: yeah Even if you send all the strong dealers [Party] TheHunter: If you have all the tanks on the other side, then it will be hard [Party] Drink some water: but there’s already a buffer [Party] Drink some water: Healer or tank [Party] I’m getting lazy: Or sending Gilma to the other team?? [Party] Harn: I sent all the strong dealers over there. [Party] Harn: If you sent Gilma to the other team, the opposing team will explode ㅋㅋㅋ Even after Yoo Chae and I whispered, the teams weren’t still arranged. I don't think there’s an easy answer to this. It was more complicated because there was only one buffer, Dorahee. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hmm [Party] Yoo Chae: be right back Yoo Chae has left the party. Yoo Chae, who had been watching the scene, suddenly disappeared. At that time, when everyone was confused, I doubted my eyes after seeing the notification window in the lower right corner. Cotton Candy Fox has logged in. “……?” --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: YC is really something huh? He's a bit more shameless than I thought...
