32. Mocha bread, who handled Park Seungjin, quickly ran to Yoo Chae’s side. I calmly checked the situation unfolding before my eyes. In our team, I, Manaolingnam, TheHunter, and Crazy hunting friend are currently alive, and in the opposing team, Yoo Chae, Mocha bread, Bright Clouds, Drink some water, and Harn are alive. Above all, the opposing team had a full tank and healer, so we were at a much more disadvantage. Unlike us, who could not receive any buffers, due to the death of Dorahee, the buffer, Team B was recovering stamina quickly by receiving Harn’s heal and had a much higher defense with Holy Knight’s buff. [All] TheHunter: Park Seungjin-nim really had to die just there— — [All] Park Seungjin99: ㅠ.ㅠ Like me, The Hunter came to protect Manaolingnam, but his remaining stamina was too low. If this is enough, it will be difficult to last more than one turn. In terms of time, I would be able to live for about 5 seconds. Crazy hunting friend, who is blocking Drink some water and Harn cannot come this way. Don’t worry, it’s because he made the check tighter, so if he had died, we would have lost right away without even trying to counterattack. [Team] TheHunter: It’s going to be like this [Team] TheHunter: I think it would be better to just let Manaolingnam fight as well. [Team] Manaolingnam: Agreed, I think so too [Team] Manaolingnam: The skill took much longer than expected [Team] I’m Sleepy: It’s like that in talks Still, there was a chance. If we can kill the healer and tank with Manaolingnam’s ultimate skill, our chances of winning will increase. Team B also seems to have finished organizing through team chat, so Mocha Bread summoned three strong spirits at once. It must be a plan to kill TheHunter, who has only 30% of his HP, and then aim for me and Manaolingnam. ‘I’m not in good shape either.’ Although I had a lot of stamina because I had not been attacked, except by being hit by the chain of Yoo Chae earlier, there was no buff to support me and my body was weak, so it was meaningless. If I make even one mistake, I will get hit by chains and die in an instant, just like Dorahee did. [Team] TheHunter: I [Team] TheHunter: will protect and die for you [Team] Manaolingnam: Kyah ♥ The Hunter, who knew he couldn’t hold out for long, deflected Mocha Bread’s attack with his reflex skill and narrowed the distance with a charge. If he was going to die anyway, he decided that he would die with as much damage as possible. A golden chain smashed the ground in front of me as I was unintentionally turned to TheHunter. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: You have to focus on me Yoo Chae, who noticed my thoughts like a ghost, interrupted me. After clicking my tongue and trying to dodge the chain that followed, I used the basic skill combo once again. After tying it up with a fast-paced skill, I fired the high-damage W skill, followed by the quick-cast Q and R skills. Unlike before, when I hit my combo until the end, as soon as his bondage was over, Yoo Chae swung his chain, avoiding the skill with his control. Giiing, chiing! The chain circled around me like a snake, and in an instant the distance narrowed sharply. It was a chain blade CC machine that bound the opponent’s body with a chain. Just before being constrained, I evaded with an evasion technique and organized my skills in my head. Skills that have a long cast or have a slow attack speed are of no use to Yoo Chae. On the contrary, I could be defeated by trying to use some skills. So, I can probably use 4 out of 8 skills? I checked the bondage cooldown and avoided Yoo Chae’s attacks as much as possible. It wasn’t easy to dodge with control without evasion skills, as his skills were better than when we first met. [Team] TheHunter: Ouch [Team] TheHunter: No way [Team] Park Seungjin99: this is just for fun Team A’s TheHunter was killed by Team B’s Mocha Bread. [All] Mocha Bread: Revenge Success^-^v [All] TheHunter: fkfk As everyone expected, TheHunter died, leaving our team with only three people. However, until he died, Mocha bread had only 50% of his stamina left, probably because he had fought quite well. Considering that most of the guild members of Early Evening, including Mocha Bread, are good at games, it can be seen that TheHunter’s skills are quite good among them. ‘If it’s gonna be like this…….’ I used the evasion skill I had saved and ran towards Mocha Bread. Yoo Chae, who realized my intentions late, hurriedly pursued me, but I was one step faster. [All] Mocha Bread: ? I should kill him off quickly before Yoo Chae catches up with me. Since Mocha Bread has only half of his health left, it will be enough to cut him down with some of my useless skills. My fingers moved lightly on the keyboard as if I was playing a piano. E-W-Q-R-D. In less than a second, Mocha Bread’s stamina, which was hit by a skill while in bondage, was drastically reduced. Team B’s Mocha Bread was killed by Team A’s I’m Sleepy. [All] Park Seungjin99: Oh no admit [All] TheHunter: ㅅㅅㅅㅅ At the same time as the character of the dead Mocha Bread fell, the chain of Yoo Chae pierced my side. The screen turns red for an instant, and 60% of HP remains. “Ah, this…” This is bad. The position of the character was too vague because of being hastily killed. In this composition now, I would probably use E-skill. The E-skill of the chain blade swinging horizontally has a wide attack range and it is an attack that cannot be ignored because it has an additional burn buff that deals ‘multi-dot damage’. ‘It’s over.’ Even if it’s not an E skill, you can’t avoid any other skills from this angle. Of course, Yoo Chae must also know that fact. It’s a shame. If I had held out just a little bit longer, Manaolingnam could have used his ultimate skill. It was a time when I regretted the victory I had missed right in front of me. The character of Yoo Chae, who knew how to pour his skills straight at me, flinched and stopped attacking. It was such a short hesitation that only those who were close enough could understand. “What?” That time was only about 1 second. But it was enough time for me, who didn’t take my hands off the keyboard for even one second. As soon as I immediately used the evasion skill, the chain flew to where I was just now. Looking at the effect of cutting the floor horizontally, the expected E skill was clear. Leaving behind my disadvantaged place, I hurriedly hid behind a thick pillar at a short distance. At the same time, dark clouds gathered from the sky, and a loud rumble and thunder rang out. [All] Manaolingnam: Meteor is finally complete.. When all the magic circles on the floor were completed, Manaolingnam’s character lifted the staff high into the sky. The jewel in the center shone brightly, and something began to fall at high speed from the thick dark clouds with a roaring sound. [All] Drink some water: A;h Fuck [All] Crazy hunting friend: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Crazy hunting friend: Where are you going? [All] Harn: Kkiaaak [All] Harn: To save myself!1 [All] Bright Clouds: congrats A gigantic meteorite engulfed in fire appeared and fell precisely over water moths, sea horns, and pixel clouds. Qwang! A strong wind blew and the whole earth shook violently. As if hit by a real meteorite, a huge number of damage deals appeared with a strong explosion effect. Team B, Drink Some Water, was killed by Team A’s Manaolingnam. Team B’s Harn was killed by Team A’s Manaolingnam. Team B’s Bright Clouds was killed by Team A’s Manaolingnam. Thanks to Drink some water trying to escape and Harn, who was in an altercation with Crazy Hunting Friend, the two of them were killed by Manaolingnam‘s ultimate skill. [All] Drink some water: Ha fk.... [All] Manaolingnam: Wow fr [All] Manaolingnam: Is it true that you have 100 mana left after being hit by that one? [All] Crazy hunting friend: User’s value omg The game turned upside down in an instant. As Manaolingnam and Crazy hunting friend came in for support, Yoo Chae had to play 3:1. Crazy hunting friend, an in fighter, used the dash skill to narrow the distance with Yoo Chae. Yoo Chae did not hesitate any longer and swung his chain. Team A’s Crazy hunting friend was killed by Team B’s Yoo Chae. Team A’s Manaolingnam was killed by Team B’s Yoo Chae. [All] Manaolingnam: Crazy, right;; However, Yoo Chae was Yoo Chae. He doesn’t have much stamina and he manages to kill two while fighting three at the same time. Lastly, Yoo Chae, hit by my skill, fell to the floor. Team B’s Yoo Chae was killed by Team A’s I’m Sleepy. [All] Yoo Chae: Ouch! [All] Yoo Chae: ㅠㅡㅠ The first version of the Arena ended with the playful chatting of Yoo Chae. Wow, people’s shouts were heard from somewhere, and system messages came up all the time. You won the Arena. You have acquired 200 Arena Points. You will be moved to the lobby after 10 seconds. 10, 9...…… You have achieved the achievement for using the Arena. Achieved the achievement of winning the Arena. When the countdown was over, the screen changed, and the lobby appeared. The party was changed to a normal party just like how it was before the start of the Arena. [Party] Harn: Oh, that’s too bad [Party] Bright Clouds: I didn’t get to stop Crazy hunting friend. [Party] Bright Clouds: Arena is overㅠ… [Party] Crazy hunting friend: It was a lot of fun [Party] Bright Clouds: ? [Party] Drink some water: It’s Yoo Chae’s fault [Party] Drink some water: Because he acted like a troll; fk [Party] I’m getting lazy: fr to aim at the buffer instead of the mage ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Park Seungjin99: How do I get along with you, Gilma-nim? It’s too difficult [Party] Harn: All you need to do is avoid them everything [Party] Harn: It’s easy, isn’t it? [Party] Park Seungjin99: ok Noted [Party] Mocha Bread: It should be all repaired right now [Party] Drink some water: Should we head back nowㄱㄱ? [Party] TheHunter: I need to repair something [Party] Mocha Bread: me too [Party] Drink some water: ok [Party] Drink some water: Let’s play after repairing There was an NPC in the field right in front of the Arena, so any armor or weapons could be repaired immediately. We all went out to the field together, having decided to start over in 5 minutes for rearrangement. [Whisper] Drink some water: Sleepy-ya I didn’t have anything to fix, so I took a step back and waited for others, but Drink some water came up and whispered to me. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Yes? [Whisper] Drink some water: Are you going to team up with Rahee again this time? Seeing the question of Drink some water, I blinked a few times. Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden? Even in a whisper? I had one or two questions to ask, but I answered her question first. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Then it would be good [Whisper] Drink some water: oh.. What is this bland reaction? Are you saying you don’t like me taking the buffer again? Or are you asking me to give up this time? I’d rather see you tell me what you’re thinking right now. [Whisper] Drink some water: I should have guessed [Whisper] Drink some water: It seems that things are going well with Rahee ㅋㅋㅋ What? [Whisper] Drink some water: There is no such thing as a dating ban in this Guild ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Whisper] Drink some water: If you talk too much like this, they’ll go crazy.. [Whisper] Drink some water: Is it possible to hide that a little?? [Whisper] Drink some water: I’ll tell them when the selection is over! “……?” What the fuck. What the hell is this? Hearing such absurd remarks, my body creaked like a broken machine. ‘Are you saying that I’m dating that person, Dorahee?’ Note [1] Dot Damage (DOT): Damage Over Time. It means continuing to inflict damage over a period of time. This damage is mainly caused by burns, poison, or bleeding. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: I can’t believe Drink some water thought that MC was dating Rahee.

31. [Party] Drink some water: If you want Rahee too [Party] Drink some water: It’s settle for trade;; [Party] Mocha Bread: In that case, should I send the tanker to the other side? [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Me? [Party] Yoo Chae: I want to be on the same team as Hyung… [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] I’m Sleepy: You said you would practice this with me [Party] Yoo Chae: Ah... [Party] This is Dorahee: haha [Party] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ As expected, a good buffer is good. That Yoo Chae guy is greedy and wants everything to go his way. Well, he’s good in raids, but he’s even better in PVP. [Party] I’m getting lazy: Then the tanker, Drink some water [Party] I’m getting lazy: Gilma-nim, you should come to our team [Party] Manaolingnam: But then it would be… [Party] Manaolingnam: Isn’t it newbies vs Water*Yoo Chae? [Party] Mocha Bread: it can’t be helped [Party] Mocha Bread: There is a buffer on the other side, but we have a tanker thought [Party] I’m getting lazy: I think we need to drive a stronger dealer to Sleepy-nim’s side? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: yeah So I, Dora-hee, Park Seungjin99, TheHunter, Crazy hunting friend, and Manaolingnam became Team A, while Yoo Chae, Drink Some Water, Harn, Bright Clouds, Mocha Bread, and I’m getting lazy became Team B. [Party] TheHunter: Will you talk to discord first? [Party] I’m Sleepy: No, I won’t be talking [Party] I’m Sleepy: I want to focus [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Then let’s just join without a microphone this time [Party] Harn: Good [Party] Bright Clouds: Which percentage are we going for? Unlike Field PVP, Arena PVP allows you to adjust the damage percentage in the room settings. Usually it’s set at 60-80%. [Party] Drink some water: Shall we go with the usual arena settings? 80? [Party] I’m Sleepy: maybe let’s go with 60? [Party] Drink some water: 60? ok In battle, the less the damage deal goes to the opponent, the more skills you can use. Of course, it is also necessary to set it to 80% and check how much damage it takes to destroy the opponent, but currently it’s more urgent to use the skills more than checking damage dealt. [Party] Drink some water: Then today let’s go with 60 [Party] Drink some water: Let’s do 80 tomorrow Room settings have been changed. When the damage percentage setting was finished, the screen changed and a view similar to the Roman Colosseum unfolded in front of my eyes. Arena will start after 60 seconds. [Team] This is Dorahee: How should I go? [Team] This is Dorahee: Is it okay to just fight? [Team] Manaolingnam: Yes Yes [Team] Manaolingnam: If you want to see it like a raid, you can see it like that ㅋㅋㅋ [Team] Park Seungjin99: Like Raid fr [Team] Park Seungjin99: But now you have to kill the opponent instead of the mob. [Team] I’m Sleepy: Because Rahee is a buffer [Team] I’m Sleepy: I think you can do the same like u do in a Raid position [Team] This is Dorahee: Okay haha The waiting time was only 60 seconds, so it was difficult to make a detailed plan. There’s only 30 seconds left. [Team] TheHunter: Sleepy-nim takes on the role of Gilma-nim [Team] TheHunter: Then, I will go against I’m getting lazy [Team] Park Seungjin99: Well then, I’ll go against Mocha ㅋㅋ [Team] Crazy hunting friend: I’ll do my best [Team] Crazy hunting friend: blocking Water-nim and Harn-nim [Team] Manaolingnam: Drink some water is a tank [Team] Manaolingnam: You have to kill the dealers next to you to quickly win, okay? [Team] Park Seungjin99: Probably block Bright clouds-nim [Team] Park Seungjin99: I’ll go for the healer [Team] Crazy hunting friend: ok ok As soon as Manaolingnam’s chat was over, the final countdown began. A red number appeared on the top center of the screen, and a sand breeze blew over the arena. 3, 2, 1 The battle begins! Survive to the end to win! When the Arena started, the opaque wall that stood in the way disappeared. At the same time, a pure white light burst from the other side, and a shield with its wings spread wide was formed. It was the skill effect of the pure tanker Holy Knight, Drink some water. [Team] Crazy hunting friend: Let’s go [All] TheHunter: I’m getting lazy, I will take on you ^^ Infighter(I’m getting lazy) and Warlord(TheHunter), who are fairly strong, took the lead quickly. With a “Diriring”, Dorahee, who was standing behind me, played the lyre. I’m getting lazy, who narrowly avoided The Hunter’s skill, spoke out his astonishment. [All] I’m getting lazy: no [All] I’m getting lazy: Do you have a conscience? Fk Warlord, with low skill cooldown and strong damage, was a difficult opponent for sharp shooters with a low skill cooldown and a lot of evasion. Knowing this, TheHunter stubbornly clung to the sharpshooter, I’m getting lazy. [All] I’m getting lazy: Ah, get lost already — — [All] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] TheHunter: ^^ Mocha Bread, who was caught by TheHunter, hurriedly turned, but Park Seungjin blocked it. [All] Park Seungjin99: Hello? ㅋㅋ [All] Mocha Bread: hi; Mocha Bread summoned the spirit and deflected the bullet fired by the gunslinger, Park Seungjin. Park Seungjin’s gun and Summoner, Mocha Bread’s wand flashed in a pale golden color, clearly visible through the skill effects. Everyone basically wears 8 lvl or higher weapons. Crazy Hunting Friend also went deep into the opposing team to kill the tank, Drink some water and the healer, Harn, so now the only ones left in our camp were me, Dorahee, and Manaolingnam. [Team] Manaolingnam: If you want to kill Tank and Healer [Team] Manaolingnam: I might have to blow a Meteor [Team] I’m Sleepy: How long does it take? [Team] Manaolingnam: I have to fill the gauge [Team] Manaolingnam: At least 1 minute and 30 seconds. [Team] Manaolingnam: About 2 minutes is required Meteor is the ultimate skill of an Elemental Mage. It took a long time to fill the gauge up to 100 and to cast, but it was a skill with tremendous power. It was almost the only way we could win, with no healers, no tankers, and only one buffer. On the other hand, the opposing team will somehow try to stop the ultimate skill. ‘As I expected you to come.’ I used a chain to face Yoo Chae that flew right in front of us in an instant. Well, I knew that Yoo Chae would come here, so I took this position too. While Meteor is being prepared, I have to protect Mage and Buffer from Yoo Chae by myself. [All] Manaonlingnam: Here comes the Prayer Meteor To fill the gauge, Manaolingnam’s character gathered the staff to the center and closed his eyes. I clenched my fists one last time, and then put my hands on the keyboard. Kiiing, Chaeg! There was a sound from the long golden chain of Yoo Chae, and there was a red light. It was an effect that appeared when using Chain Burst, one of Chain Blade’s skills. ‘That’s no joke.’ Chain Burst was an individual buff skill that only Chain Blade had, which adds a defense penetration effect. Even if I get hit, it will hurt a lot, but I can’t believe he even used a bystander buff skill. Still, I can’t lose. With Dora-hee’s buff on my back, I quickly used my skill. First, let’s try the Dark Mage’s basic skill combo. It was a chained attack that inflicts magic damage, starting with CC that binds the opponent for 1 second and stuns them for 0.3 seconds. The key sequence is E-W-Q-R-1-4-W-Q -D-W. Here, the flat strokes should also be properly mixed in the middle. It was a combo in which the non-target skill with the strongest damage was firmly inserted after being constrained with the E skill. Of course, it has a long cooldown, so the next skill has to be set to be controlled next. When I used the E-skill bondage towards Yoo Chae that came within range, a small blue pattern in the form of a rhombus (◆) appeared on the character. It was a display of the Dark Mage’s hidden passive skill, ‘Stack’. As that mark increases, the damage increases as well. A maximum of 5 stacks can be stacked. I moved my fingers quickly, pouring out all the combos on Yoo Chae. The total time it took was about 2.5 seconds, and after my bondage was released, Yoo Chae did not move and hit the combo until the end. No, I was right. He got hit on purpose so that I could check how much full combo deal I got. Yoo Chae’s stamina was cut in half. The fact that the HP of the dealer was at 60%, while the Chain Blade skill was cut in half meant that most dealers could be killed in an ordinary PVP. Chiing, kuaang! As soon as my turn was over, Yoo Chae swung his chain strongly as if he had been waiting. Seeing the effect of cracking the floor with a loud roar, I was terrified and avoided the attack with an evasion skill. “You crazy–” Even though I avoided it, the distance between the chain and me was close, so some blood was splattered. I was again reminded of how big a difference there was between him and me. Chaehaehaeng! Haeng! The chain moved non-stop. Since the chain moved like a snake, it was not easy to dodge. Since the start of the arena, I felt the full sincerity of Yoo Chae, who has not chatted even once and has only concentratedly attacked indiscriminately. After having a tough time dodging the attack, I realized that I was too far away from the buffer and mage that I had to protect. In the first place, Yoo Chae was thinking about the timing to kill the Buffer and Mage while adjusting it so that I could avoid it properly. ‘This foxy bastard…….’ The moment I realized that, I was exclaimed with swearing and admiration at the same time. Yoo Chae was not only a good control, but also knew exactly how to solve the game to his advantage. I hurriedly flew away when I found the chain that was being shot towards Manaolingnam, who was casting Meteor. Even if I die, the Mage has to live. When Meteor was complete, this fight was over. And at that moment, someone, who no one had expected, was attacked by Yoo Chae. [Team] This is Dorahee: Ah [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ Dora-hee’s character, who was implementing buffs, suddenly lost her stamina and was thrown backwards. Then, she got hit a second time by the chain swinging and died. It didn’t even take a second for that to happen. ‘You want to kill the buffer, not the mage?’ What the hell? I thought it would definitely kill the mage casting his ultimate skill. After being flustered by Yoo Chae’s completely unexpected behavior, notifications came up. Team B’s I’m getting lazy was killed by Team A’s TheHunter. Team A’s This is Dorahee was killed by B-team’s Yoo Chae. TheHunter, who defeated I’m getting lazy, chatted with 30% of his HP left. [All] TheHunter: A close cut! [All] I’m getting lazy: Aww Fk [All] Drink some water: no [All] Drink some water: Aren’t you supposed to kill Manaolingnam? Why kill the buffer Fortunately, this was an exchange for one person at a time. With Dorahee being already dead, I had no choice, but to intervene with the evasion skill to protect Manaolingnam from Yoo Chae. With the mage alive, we still had an advantage. That was what I thought. Team A’s Team A’s Park Seungjin99 was killed by Team B’s Mocha Bread. [All] TheHunter: ? [All] TheHunter: Park Seungjin-nim What man— — [All] Park Seungjin99: Ah, I know I died;; [All] Mocha bread: ㅋㅋㅋ [All] Mocha Bread: The comeback of a turn around? [All] Harn: The turning point~ [All] Harn: Let’s go ㅋㅋ ‘…I can’t do this.’ The favorable situation became disadvantageous again with the death of Park Seungjin. Unlike our situation, where the buffer was dead, the opponent had a tank and a healer alive, so there was a big difference in recovery strength. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei If anyone wants to be an editor, translator, or proofreader, contact using the contact form on the top corner.

30. “So, you hit the max level yesterday?” “Uh.” To Kim Dae-seok’s words, I answered, holding up the stacked books with one hand. After working at the bookstore for over a month, I could easily lift this weight. “You went on a raid with the Early Evening Gilma?” “Uh-huh. Now, get out of the way.” I pushed Kim Dae-seok, who was blocking the way, and went to the display stand. Kim Dae-seok kept chirping next to me as I organized the books. “Hey, Ji-han. It’s amazing that you hit the max level in a month and a half, but… that’s really too good, isn’t it?” “What.” “I understand you have to use Early Evening to get your staff back, but it’s true.” What nonsense is he going to say. I turned my head to say something else and looked at Kim Dae-Seok with cold eyes. “I thought it would feel a little uncomfortable.” “Which part?” “No, just think about it! You’re the guy, who dropped it then returned back to the guild, and there’s no guarantee that things won’t change once you get that staff.” “So what?” “I mean, that Yoo Chae guy definitely has an ulterior motive. Isn’t it obvious?” What does he mean? That Yoo Chae has an ulterior motive?...... Those words reminded me of what had happened yesterday at Zenoris. As soon as I reached max level and left the raid dungeon, Yoo Chae was hopping and chatting. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Congratulations on reaching the max level!! ㅎㅡㅎ [Party] Yoo Chae: You know I helped you a lot, right? [Party] I’m Sleepy: yeah [Party] Yoo Chae: How’s the totem? [Party] Yoo Chae: Was it okay? [Party] I’m Sleepy: yeah it was good [Party] Yoo Chae: >_<♥ “……” With hell to having ulterior motives. It was so innocent that I almost felt sad when I saw it. He liked it as if he, himself, had reached the max level for the first time. I smiled and shook my head. “Don’t talk nonsense, because it can’t be.” “Haa… Yoo Ji-han. Do you still not know what’s going on after all that?” Kim Dae-seok took a deep breath and put his huge arm on my shoulder. Why does this bastard suddenly come to my workplace just to talk shit? “Don’t disturb me, and get out of here.” “How can you say such a hurtful thing? I’m going to an appointment later, so let’s spend some time until then. Anyway, listen to me.” You’re using someone else’s workplace to kill some time. “He was once a stalker who has been following you all the way while doing Netkama, so who knows if he’s up to something else again? He’s a guy who’s rumored to have a bad personality.” “It’s not that bad.” I patted Kim Dae-seok’s arm and said sternly. “It’s just that he’s a bit rude, arrogant and stubborn.” “...Isn’t that a bad personality?” I tilted my head at Kim Dae-seok’s absurd reaction. Well, there’s something different about simply saying that he has a bad personality. ‘Hmm, it’s like…….’ There must have been a more appropriate expression. What was it? Kim Dae-seok continued, leaving me in doubt. “The bottom line is to be careful.” “Sure, sure.” There were other things that were more important than Yoo Chae. Since Kim Dae-seok came to see me, I asked him something I had been curious about since yesterday. “I want to practice skill combos, is there a good way?” “A skill combo?” Kim Dae-seok, who was bewildered by the sudden question, opened his mouth with an expression of understanding. “Ah, I see, you chose the Dark Mage?” With this patch, a new class appeared in Zenoris– Dark Mage. I remembered the Dark Mage job video I saw when I first started playing Zenoris. Most of the wizards appearing in the original RPG games are similar. Instead of a long skill cooldown and a weak body, the wizard had high skill damage and was able to attack in a wide area. The job that completely changed that base is the Dark Mage. Like a moderate mix of wizards and assassins, this profession had very distinct advantages and disadvantages. Unlike existing mages, Dark Mages do not have wide-area skills or ultimate skills. Instead, the skill cooldown is small, and there is a hidden skill called ‘Stack’, which is only specific to a Dark Mage. ‘Stack’ is a passive skill that automatically turns on the effect when you attack the opponent, and the more you fill this stack, the more the damage increases tremendously. A large attack effect can be achieved only when stacks are stacked and exploded most effectively and quickly. ‘After all, it’s a controlled fight.’ The quicker you handle it, the more familiar the skill linkage, the faster the stack builds up and the amount of damage increases accordingly. Depending on your skill level, you can use it differently. It was the method I was most confident of. So it took practice. It would be better if you have a good practice partner. “Then it would be fine to go to the Arena.” “Arena…” “I don’t think the workshop will be of much help because it’s so open … I don’t think it would be a bad idea to set up a separate Daejeon room.” To set up a separate Daejeon room meant that acquaintances should divide into teams to play PVP. It was fairly good for an offhand comment. ‘After the part-time job is over, I’ll ask about it in the guild group chat room.’ *** [Drink some water: Skill practice in the arena?] [Drink some water: sure??] Fortunately, a positive response came back when I secretly talked about Arena PVP in the guild chat room. [Drink some water: Everyone anyway] [Drink some water: we have to practice for the selectionㅋㅋ] [Mocha bread: fr I have to do it because my hands are kinda stiff] [Manaolingnam: Arena is fun] [Manaolingnam: Let’s go today, right?] [I’m Sleepy: Let’s go] [Harn: count me in] [I’m getting lazy: I think I can be there after 9 o’clock?] [TheHunter: How many people are there right now (emoticon)] [Harn: About 50 people] [Harn: How many people do you want to come?] [Harn: me (Emoticon)] [Park Seung-kon-ssi: Me too] [Drink some water: 8 people will be enough it seems] [oo: Hyung] [oo: When are you coming?] Unlike the guild members who set their names with Zenoris nicknames, Yoo Chae, who had set the initial consonant as his username, spoke to me alone. [I’m Sleepy: I have to go to the gym] [I’m Sleepy: about 2 hours later] [oo: Hyung, do you work out?] [I’m Sleepy: For health reasons] [oo: Wow..] [oo: I want to see that] [I’m Sleepy: ?] [I’m Sleepy: What?] [oo: You working out] [I’m Sleepy: ?] [Drink some water: ..?] [Harn: ?] [Park Seung-kon-ssi: omg..] [oo: ??] [oo: no] [oo: That’s not what I meant] “……” You crazy.... I quietly turned off the screen of my phone and put it in my coat pocket. *** After working out and returning home, I turned on the computer and loosened my shoulders and hand muscles with light stretching. After completing all preparations and connecting to Zenoris, the entrance to the Hurdian Dungeon appeared along with the game BGM. [Guild] Let’s do this: hi hi [Guild] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim, hi~ [Guild] I’m getting lazy: hi2 [Guild] This is Dorahee: Hello haha [Guild] I’m Sleepy: hiyo After I greeted the guild members and checked the event page and login reward page that popped up on the screen, a familiar character ran from the opposite side. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung hyung! I left the game right after the raid was over yesterday, so I guess he knew where I was. Even though his game character has an expressionless face, it was strange that I could feel that he looked happy. Yoo Chae, who opened the party recruitment window, poured out chatting as I entered the party. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Did you work out today as well?? [Party] Yoo Chae: Do you always exercise after work? [Party] Yoo Chae: Do you go for health reasons? Feeling strangely dazed by the particularly exciting appearance of Yoo Chae today, I removed my hand from my keyboard and touched my lips for a while, pondering for a while. Just like before... When I keep looking at Yoo Chae, I seem to remember something. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, do you have any items you need? [Party] Yoo Chae: Since you’ve reached the max level, I have to give you an item! ㅎ.ㅎ “Ah.” In the chatting that followed, I finally remembered what he looked like, and I felt a cooling sensation in my stuffy stomach and spoke to him. [Party] I’m Sleepy: you look exactly like that [Party] Yoo Chae: What? [Party] I’m Sleepy: A puppy whining after making trouble I’ve seen a video on Youtube before. Although it was still a young puppy, it caused a lot of troubles because of its active personality. Still, how ridiculous it is to whine in front of the owner and play Aegyo. ‘But they really look alike.’ It looked just like Yoo Chae, in the appearance of the puppy flipping a flowerpot and biting on the sofa and panting when only the owner appeared. [Party] Yoo Chae: Me? [Party] Yoo Chae: Do I look like a puppy? Where did the ‘Puppy whining after making trouble’ go? What… It’s true that I said that he was like a puppy, so I meekly agreed. [Party] I’m Sleepy: yeah [Party] Yoo Chae: Am I cute? [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] I’m Sleepy: I never said you were cute [Party] Yoo Chae: You say I was like a puppy [Party] Yoo Chae: puppies are cute ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m Sleepy: I didn’t say like a puppy in that sense; [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: You say I was cute ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m Sleepy: Stop it, let’s just go to Arena [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅎㅡㅎ Yoo Chae used the scroll with a smile until the end. We headed straight to the Arena and entered the lobby after having a party with the guild members who were waiting in advance. [Party] Drink some water: Since there are 12 people [Party] Drink some water: All you need to do is form a team of 6 people each [Party] Drink some water: How to split the team? [Party] Bright Clouds: Can’t we just split it up into Gilma-nim and Water-nim? [Party] Mocha Bread: No If you just divide it on that, the balance will collapse [Party] Park Seung-jin99: yeah [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Let’s try to match the number of damage deals for this [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Shouldn’t the two newbies be divided into different teams? Even though it was decided on 6:6 PVP, a discussion took place before the match. It certainly isn’t easy to split the team in a balanced way. Yoo Chae, who quietly watched the guild members having a conversation about various possibilities, opened his mouth. [Party] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung and me as the representatives [Party] Yoo Chae: Divide into teams [Party] Yoo Chae: Then it will be more less or right [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Eh? [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung said he wanted to practice his skills. [Party] Yoo Chae: It’ll be worth practicing when I’m on the enemy team [Party] Mocha Bread: Hiik “Hm……” I’m sure Yoo Chae is as good as a professional gamer. There was no reason for me to refuse when someone with good control came forward and became my practice partner. However, I’m a newbie who has just reached max level, and my opponent is a top tier person. Fighting barefoot was unreasonable. [Party] I’m Sleepy: ok [Party] I’m Sleepy: But I have a condition too [Party] Yoo Chae: What is it? [Party] I’m Sleepy: Rahee-nim, I’ll take her So, the buffer Dorahee was needed for our team. Of course, it would be nice to have a healer, but if I had to choose between a buffer and a healer, I’d definitely choose a buffer. Dorahee also had a good sense of the game, so she was a good team member to have. [Party] Yoo Chae: ? [Party] Drink some water: Oh... [Party] Harn: ? [Party] Bright Clouds: omg [Party] TheHunter: ? But why is the atmosphere like this? Did I ask for a buffer too proudly? I became shy and started fiddling with the hard piercing on my ear, until Dorahee’s chat came up. [Party] This is Dorahee: haha [Party] This is Dorahee: I’m okay with that haha [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ? --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei BTW. um... it's gonna be the first anniversary of this translation group.

29. The question suddenly reminded me of an event a few months ago. [All] LVS gamgack (Serrata): JD1 [All] LVS gamgack (Serrata): right? [All] LVS gamgack (Serrata): haha The chat I had in the last game before I gave up HOL. If I were to think about it again, isn’t he really crazy? Is that what a pro would say to an average user? Reflexively pressing my forehead with my fingers, and rationally as much as possible, I answered. “Of course it’s fine. It’s my Hyung’s wedding– so what if he sees me?” - I’m still a little concerned. “The only point of contact between that gamgack player and me is that we met a few times in the game, right?” - Is that so? But why is he... Ah never mind. Are you okay anyway? You’ll come, right? “Sure. I’m not that narrow-minded. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely attend the wedding.” - Okay, great. Then I’ll note that. If there is any change in your schedule later, please let me know. “I will.” After finishing the call with Seo Tae-young, I put down my phone and sighed. ‘If it’s Gamgack...’ He’s coming? No, I have to face it, although I already know him. I turned on the portal site and typed ‘LVS gamgack’ in the search bar. [HOL professional player gamgack, contract renewal with Team LVS is in progress... When will you return?] I clicked on the article title at the top of the page. It was an Internet article with related articles along with photos of Gamgack. A picture of Gamgack wearing a headset around his neck and just looking at the player next to him caught my eye. Light sand-colored hair, fair skin, long eyes, and dense eyelashes, and even the small teardrops underneath. The reason why gamgack is more popular than other players is because of his sense of humor and his looks, although his skills are also good. Just looking at this picture now. Is this an idol or a pro gamer? After looking at the photos with a complicated mind, I immediately came to my senses and turned off the Internet window. What’s done is already done. Whether the gamgack guy will come or not has nothing to do with me. ‘Honestly, I don’t think we’ll ever meet at a wedding.’ I’m going to do some face-watching from a distance. Shaking off all my thoughts, I turned on Zenoris, and I saw a message from Yoo Chae flickering at the bottom. [Yoo Chae: Hyung] [Yoo Chae: ㅜㅡㅜ?] [Yoo Chae: Hyung] [Yoo Chae: Where have you been?] [Yoo Chae: The kids are going to raid in 30 minutes!] [Yoo Chae: I already told them that Hyung is going too!] [Yoo Chae: ㅜㅜ...] [Yoo Chae: ㅜㅅㅜ...] 30 minutes? I hurriedly checked the time and luckily it was 20 minutes ago. [Guild] Drink some water: Sleepy-nim is coming too right??? [Guild] Yoo Chae: yes [Guild] Drink some water: Not backing down fr? [Guild] Drink some water: If you don’t have him right now, I’ll quickly get a replacement. [Guild] Yoo Chae: okay [Guild] Drink some water: you bastard Ah [Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is a mess. First of all, I sent an answer inthe guild chat window that was coming up in real time. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Here here [Guild] Drink some water: Ok Got it [Guild] Drink some water: 30 minutes are done, let’s go and wait at the front of Hurdianㄱㄱ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ok ok [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: already there [Guild] Manaolingnam: I’m doing something right now [Guild] Manaolingnam: I’ll finish it before 30 minutes and come along too Then, I replied to Yoo Chae’s message. [I’m Sleepy: yeah] [I’m Sleepy: I was on my phone for a while] [Yoo Chae: Honey..] [Yoo Chae: How can you leave me and call someone else?――] [I’m Sleepy: ?] [I’m Sleepy: what kind of bullshit] [Yoo Chae: Ah Hyung] [Yoo Chae: You have to match it] [Yoo Chae: You know what I’m talking about] [Yoo Chae: Don’t you know?] [I’m Sleepy: Kinda] [Yoo Chae: ㅠ.ㅠ] What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden? As soon as I sent an answer and turned off the inventory window that was turned on, the appearance of Yoo Chae clinging to my character was clearly revealed. [All] I’m Sleepy: what [All] I’m Sleepy: Why don’t you go first? [All] Yoo Chae: Where am I going without Hyung? ㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: I waited to go with you. >.<~ Yoo Chae raised a party window with the words [rrrrrr] written on it. As soon as I clicked on it to join the party, the screen changed, and you immediately moved to the front of the Hurdian Dungeon. It was the scroll effect that the Yoo Chae used. It’s used for a quick movement point to the dungeon, so you can each go there on your own, but you lose money by using the scroll. It’s convenient for me, though. [All] This is Dorahee: I’m Sleepy-nim hi hi [All] I’m Sleepy: hi [All] Drink some water: Hi Guild members, who were participating in the raid, were waiting in front of the dungeon. Drink some water said after confirming that everyone participated in the party Yoo Chae had made. [Party] Drink some water: Come in everyone [Party] Drink some water: Only normal and hard modes today? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Because there are now 8 people anyway [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Hell mode is too hard [Party] Mocha Bread: Agreed [Party] Mocha Bread: Hell and the abyss next time [Party] Drink some water: okay [Party] Drink some water: I’m Sleepy and Rahee will be at the max level after this [Party] Harn: Whenever oling comes, [Party] Harn: Let’s goㄱㄱgo Last raid quest to reach max level! Unlike other dungeons, the dungeon, Hurdian, has levels of increasing difficulty from Normal, Hard, Hell, to Abyss. It was okay to go to Hell mode, but the Abyss was of an extreme difficulty that even people who played the game for quite a long time had to fill up the maximum number of 12 people to fight it. Finally, when I checked the equipment and entered the voice channel, voices I was familiar with greeted me. “Hyung, Hyung. Hello.” “You too.” Yoo Chae always greeted me like that whenever I got into a Discord call. He’s funny as he just exchanged items through the game and did everything he had to do. ‘I don’t think he likes talking very much.’ He never says anything other than greetings to me. Anyway, it doesn’t matter much because the orders are made by Drink some water or a friend of mine…… I don’t know why a guy with a good voice would do that. In the past, when we were doing things together, you used to talk a lot. Are you an unexpectedly shy personality? [Party] This is Dorahee: I’m Sleepy-nim haha [Party] This is Dorahee: Take this [Party] I’m Sleepy: Yes? Dorahee sneaked up to me and made a transaction with me. When I accepted the request, an item called ‘Chocolate Flavored Love Letter’ appeared in the transaction window. It was one of the things that came out during the last Valentine’s Day event. It was a totem item[1] that increases AP skill damage by 3% if you activate it while holding it in your inventory. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Why are you giving this to me? Totem items that increase damage must have been a bit difficult to find. [Party] This is Dorahee: You helped me yesterday. [Party] This is Dorahee: Thank you haha Ah, what? Still, it’s a bit more expensive compared to what I’ve helped with, isn’t it? [Party] I’m Sleepy: it’s okay it’s okay even if you don’t give me anything [Party] This is Dorahee: No, I got it from my real friend too [Party] This is Dorahee: It’s useless to me because it’s a buffer item [Party] This is Dorahee: Sleepy-nim, please use it well haha [Party] I’m Sleepy: oh If that’s so, then okay. I pressed to confirm the transaction. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Tk tk [Party] This is Dorahee: haha “What’s that?” Drink some water, who had been watching the conversation between me and Dorahee, asked with a voice full of curiosity. Instead of chatting, I answered by opening my mouth. “A chocolate-scented love letter.” “Oh, you gave him a good one.” “If it’s a love letter, isn’t it a Damage increase?” [Party] This is Dorahee: haha I was activating the totem I received while listening to the noise of the guild members, but for some reason Yoo Chae, who had been standing next to me restlessly, called me with a microphone. “Hyung.” “Eh?” “Yesterday… What did you do?” Then I remembered that yesterday, Yoo Chae didn’t log in. Two days ago, he had to go out somewhere, so he whined for a long time saying that he wouldn’t come tomorrow or that he didn’t want to go, and then the next day he really didn’t come. “I helped with one of Rahee-nim’s production quests.” Even so, I was embarrassed to explain that even though I helped, I only really found a few ingredients. No matter how much I think about it, I think I got a very good reward for the effort I put in. “Yes…….” Yoo Chae responded with a withered voice. I don’t know what he’s dissatisfied with. ‘More than that, this is a totem… It’s better than I thought.’ If you put it in the corner of your inventory, you don’t have to worry about it, and it doesn’t reduce damage unless you turn off activation separately. Above all, it’s not a wearable item, so you don’t have to worry about dropping it. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy one or two at all. I would like to take a look at the auction house, but this time Yoo Chae has made a transaction deal. What else is he trying to give me? After accepting the transaction deal out of curiosity, the items were piled up in the transaction window as if waiting. ‘You crazy.’ A romantic ribbon string, a pink gift box, a chocolate-flavored lollipop, a romantic ring given by a lover, a second button full of youth, a red flower of love… how many are these? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: fk; [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: What are you doing? I was almost disgusted with the totem items that constantly flooded the trading window, so I whispered and subtly beat on Yoo Chae so that no one would notice. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: They are Totems... [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Take it Hyung! What do you mean ‘take it’? I relentlessly clicked decline to close the transaction window. Then, Yoo Chae, who was working hard to move the items to the trading window, looked sad. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Why don’t you accept mine?? ㅜㅡㅜ [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Do you have a conscience? [whisper] I’m Sleepy: And everything’s expensive Totems are items that are useful only if you have them in your inventory. Because of this, the smaller the size, the higher the price. Since all of the totem items posted by Yoo Chae in the trading window were one-room items, it was obvious that they would be expensive without having to look for information at the auction house. For reference, the totem that Dora-hee gave takes two squares. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: What did I say last time? Yoo Chae hesitated in our chat and answered immediately. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: To not give you expensive things [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung, but that person gave you that and you received it… [Whisper] Yoo Chae: That’s expensive too... [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Why do you call a guild member “That person”; [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I don’t know [whisper] Yoo Chae: Why do you always refuse only what I give? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I hate it He hates it... And why do I always refuse what he gives? ‘Are you seriously asking because he doesn’t know that? This bastard…” In fact, if I had been by your side, I would have grabbed you by the neck. I sighed and hit the keyboard. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Give me just one [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: nothing more [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I’ll give you two.. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: One is the same as that personㅡㅡ Yoo Chae has traded with me again. This time, only two items came up quietly. A romantic ring given to me by my lover and a red flower of love. Each skill had the option to decrease cooldown by 3% and increase critical by 5%. It seems like it would be awfully expensive because the options are in good condition... I can’t help it. Because I was thinking of buying it anyway. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Thank you [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’ll use it well When chatting while activating the totem items, Yoo Chae burst out laughing and expressed his joy. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: hahahahahaha [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I’m the best, right? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Right?? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Okayjang~ — Note: Totem items - emblem/badge that seems to work passively despite not being taken out of the inventory. Has to be activated first. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei If anyone wants to be an editor, translator, or proofreader, contact using the contact form on the top corner.

28. After being silent for a while, Yoo Chae answered my question immediately. [All] Yoo Chae: Wow [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. I was touched [All] I’m Sleepy: ? What nonsense is this again? As I looked at the screen with my cold eyes, Yoo Chae expressed his emotions with blushing cheeks. [All] Yoo Chae: You thought about me that far [All] Yoo Chae: I wished we had a deep relationship.. Is that the case now?? [All] Yoo Chae: That’s just what I want ㅎㅡㅎ♥ “……” With a cold face, I slowly moved the mouse and offered a PVP request to him. It was a personal farm, not a field, so I had to apply separately to attack. [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: Just joking Yoo Chae, who rejected the PVP request, continued chatting. [All] Yoo Chae: Even if this is the first time we met [All] Yoo Chae: I want to get to know you [All] I’m Sleepy: You just want to be friends [All] I’m Sleepy: And you send items like this to your friends? [All] Yoo Chae: Right Is that really the reason? Wanna get to know you? What do you know about me that you want to get close to me? ‘This is kinda… embarrassing.’ [All] I’m Sleepy: one last question [All] I’m Sleepy: We never met in real life, right? [All] Yoo Chae: That’s right I asked again because of my doubts, but the answer was still the same. ‘Since it’s not true, I can’t argue with him anymore…….’ I sighed and rubbed my neck. It’s okay. Even if I met Yoo Chae in the past, what does that mean now? [All] I’m Sleepy: ok I see [All] I’m Sleepy: But from now on [All] I’m Sleepy: Don’t give me expensive items [All] Yoo Chae: ㅜㅡㅜ? [All] I’m Sleepy: Because I know you didn’t do it with bad intentions [All] I’m Sleepy: I’m telling you to do it in moderation [All] Yoo Chae: In moderation [All] Yoo Chae: How much would that be? [All] I’m Sleepy: Just don’t give me expensive items [All] I’m Sleepy: Don’t talk nonsense [All] I’m Sleepy: Don’t embarrass me [All] Yoo Chae: If I do that [All] Yoo Chae: Will you like me? Will I like him? I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean since he said he wants to be friends, but I think it would be good in many ways to say yeah for now. [All] I’m Sleepy: yeah [All] Yoo Chae: Alright [All] Yoo Chae: I’ll do my best! Such an effort... wouldn’t it be hard to keep up with him?...……… But I’ll still cheer you on. [All] I’m Sleepy: fighting [All] Yoo Chae: Fighting! ^▽^ *** Time flew by quickly and it has been a week since I returned to Early Evening. In the meantime, thanks to the guild members and going on raid dungeons without missing a day, I was able to reach level 240. Yoo Chae has also improved a lot compared to before, after some serious conversations that took place on the personal farm. Of course, there were still a lot of emoticons and Aegyo and wagging tail which only I saw, but at least secretly offering expensive items has disappeared. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, can I get you a black cloak? [Guild] Yoo Chae: And, this is called a fairy’s four-leaf clover. [Guild] Yoo Chae: you will be lucky if you get it >ㅡ<! [Guild] Yoo Chae: 6,000 in total! [Guild] I’m Sleepy: tk tk [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Really? [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Gilma-nim, you’re selling that to Sleepy-nim for 6,000? [Guild] Harn: No [Guild] Harn: It means he’ll give an item worth of 6,000 [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Eh [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Why are you talking about the price? [Guild] Harn: I heard that he gave a Lux 2 staff [Guild] Mocha Bread: Ah, did he really gave that?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: it’s been hidden longer than I thought ㅋㅋ [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Like receiving a payment from some boss;; [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋ The fact that Yoo Chae gave me a staff doesn’t matter if it spreads. It’s something the guild members know anyway. [Guild] Drink some water: Guys [Guild] Drink some water: The selection has been announced After a brief absence, Drink some water posted a link in the guild chat window. When I clicked it, the Guardian Guild Selection Development Event page on the Zenoris homepage appeared. The selection, which opens after this week, will be held for three hours a day for a week. Every night at 7 pm, when a message announcing the start of the selection is displayed, a flag is generated for each city and town. Guilds participating in the selection must protect the flag or take it. [Guild] Bright Clouds: Wow, it feels like yesterday when I started playing last year. [Guild] Bright Clouds: Time goes really fast omg [Guild] Harn: fr [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Are we going to defend again? [Guild] Drink some water: okay [Guild] Drink some water: Let’s go with basic defense [Guild] Drink some water: If it gets a little easy [Guild] Drink some water: Let’s go and attack another city [Guild] Manaolingnam: That’s nice [Guild] I’ll take care of you: We’re just gonna protect this time [Guild] I’ll take care of you: Hopefully nothing goes wrongㅋㅋㅋ During the selection, the guild can go to attack once a day by designating a city or town. With Early Evening protecting Veritas, there’ll be no empty days and guests will come, so defense alone will be sufficient. After taking a closer look at the event page and coming back, Yoo Chae sent a whisper. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: When the selection starts [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Maybe on the 2nd or 3rd day, Fever Guild will come [Whisper] Yoo Chae: If you don’t want to go alone [Whisper] Yoo Chae: We can split up and go [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: okay but [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: It’ll be a bit difficult if we split the team [Whisper] Yoo Chae: it’ll be okay ㅎ.ㅎ [Whisper] Yoo Chae: To be honest [Whisper] Yoo Chae: There’s no need to worry about anything other than Redemption [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Redemption [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: You are talking about the No. 2 guild? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes Redemption... I opened the guild window and checked the ranking. [2. Redemption | Guild Level: Grand | Number of people: 82 | Guild Leader: Gumhee] Even though there are significantly fewer people than the No. 3 Fever, they’re still in second place. Which brings up the fact that the guild is quite competent since Yoo Chae said so. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: That Gilma is a Ripper [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Her skills are fairly good Ripper was a dagger-wielding assassin. It was one of the jobs that had a short skill cooldown and a special buff that increased movement speed by 3%, so it depended a lot on skills since they have a weak constitution. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: so [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Everything else is okay, right? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: How about Fever? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋ Fever [Whisper] Yoo Chae: You really don’t have to worry much Anyway, they are the 3rd place on the server. So can I just relax like this? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung, they already have pk[1] you [Whisper] Yoo Chae: You’ve dealt with him [Whisper] Yoo Chae: All the other guild members are similar [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Hmm, then ok [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I understand [Whisper] Yoo Chae: haha Yoo Chae knows better than I do, so I have no choice but to trust him. ‘And to be honest, I think Yoo Chae will win if the guild masters fight each other.’ I don’t know Fever Gilma well, but somehow I felt that way. This guy, Yoo Chae, didn’t look a bit bothered to go against them willy-nilly. [Guild] Drink some water: Redemption may come again this year [Guild] Drink some water: That seems to be the most important as of now [Guild] TheHunter: Oh I’m a fan of Gumhee-nim [Guild] TheHunter: I wonder if we will meet during the start of the selection like the last time [Guild] Bright Clouds: ? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Didn’t you see him last year? [Guild] TheHunter: I saw her [Guild] TheHunter: I sent her a friend request fk ㅠㅠ [Guild] Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: That person’s scary tho omg [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: We met by chance in the arena [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: As soon as I took out my weapon, I found myself dead; [Guild] Harn: She’s really good [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: She is... [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Assassin? [Guild] Drink some water: I don’t know anything else [Guild] Drink some water: I have seen a video in which Fever Gilma was terribly beaten by Gumhee ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Manaolingnam: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah Reasonable [Guild] Manaolingnam: Why are you getting beaten all the time~ [Guild] Manaolingnam: My heart hurts ㅋㅋ [Guild] Mocha Bread: frㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ While watching the guild chat and wearing the items handed over to Yoo Chae, the cell phone that was thrown in the corner of the desk vibrated. Seeing the familiar name on the phone screen, I answered the call. “Uh, Hyung.” - Uh, Ji-han-ah. Are you busy? “No, I’m completely free.” The caller was Seo Tae-young. At the unexpected contact, I leaned back on the chair and smiled softly. - Are you fine? “Of course, I’m. What about you?” - I’m fine too. It’s hard to see your face since last time? You didn’t even come to Hero either. Are you still playing that RPG? Then I remembered the chat I had with Seo Tae-young at HOL the other day. “I am, but I have a lot of work to do.” When I answered shyly, Seo Tae-young laughed coolly. - RPG takes up a lot of time. Why don’t you come and play on the Hero. Ah, you quit Hero? “I have no intention of doing it right now. It’s been a few months since I quit, so if I do it again, I don’t think I will still be good.” - If you aren’t good at it, then you aren’t bad at it either. Still, the tier must have dropped a lot. “I think I probably went down to Diamond.” HOL will automatically drop its tier if you do not change the rank once every two weeks. It’s a system called dormant relegation, but even if I couldn’t, I would have fallen tremendously since I didn’t do it for 5 months. - Anyway, I called to ask you something. “What is it?” - Do you remember going to an offline competition a long time ago? “If it’s an offline competition… Maybe with Se-hun Hyung?” It was quite a long time ago. After his retirement, a first-generation HOL professional gamer named Kim Se-hun was sponsored and held a large offline tournament. ‘The prize money was pretty good.’ While thinking of the amount of the prize money received at that time and smiling happily, Seo Tae-young continued to ask. - Se-hun is in solidarity with the tournament again. So I’m asking if you can participate. “Well… I think that’s going to be difficult.” Even if I’m not a professional player, there will be plenty of people who are better than me, so I didn’t want to take the time to participate. It’s been a while since I quit, so even if I came back, I’d have to spend quite a bit of time practicing. Seo Tae-young agreed without saying a word whether he understood my situation. - Probably not? Then I’ll tell him that you declined. It seems like you haven’t contacted Se-hun for a while. “Yes… I would appreciate it if you could do that for me.” - Cough, and there’s something more to tell you...… Perhaps it was a very difficult topic, Seo Tae-young was hesitating for a while. What’s going on? - I told you that my wedding is in the second week of October, right? “Unn.” - At that time, I can’t tell you for certain whether or not he would come. “Who do you mean?” - That gamgack guy. I was a little perplexed when I heard an unexpected name. Gamgack? LVS’ team jungler guy? - He said he would come to the wedding too. You will be a little... I think it would be uncomfortable for you. Are you okay with it? — Note: 1. PK: Player Killing.

If you break through a new raid, it feels really good. The experience points are no joke. “Everyone worked hard.” "Worked hard, worked hard~!" [Party] This is Dorahee: Thank you for your hard work ㅎㅎ [Party] I’m Sleepy: You worked hard too [Party] Harn: tk tk~ After we promised to go to Shelton Hard Mode tomorrow, the raid party was over. When we were done with the discord chat, I immediately sent a chat to Yoo Chae, who was standing quietly next to me without any greetings. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: let’s talk [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes ㅎㅡㅎ [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: There’s no quiet place to talk properly It’s a whisper anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I was chatting here. However, I couldn’t concentrate on the conversation because all the chats and recruitment posts that other people were talking about kept interfering in the chat window. Yoo Chae, who immediately understood what I meant, pondered for a moment before answering. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hmm [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Join the party As soon as Yoo Chae entered the party, the screen immediately changed to reveal a garden with flowers and trees, not in front of a dungeon full of rocks. [All] I’m Sleepy: ? [All] Yu: This is my personal farm ㅎ.ㅎ Personal farm? Ah, you mean personal farm? In Zenoris, various contents are added when you reach max level, and a personal farm was one of them. A small map that can be used by individuals is given, and it was a life content that was cultivated while growing distinct items. ‘That’s... Is that a cherry tree? There’s also a fountain, too’ Yoo Chae’s personal farm was very bright and pretty even at a glance. It wouldn’t have been easy to decorate. I didn’t know he had this talent. [All] Yoo Chae: It’s pretty, right? >ㅡ< [All] I’m Sleepy: yeah In any case, it was suitable to talk about the staff because few other people can come to the personal farm. When I was thinking positively, Yoo-chae, who expressed his emotions with a big smile, rushed somewhere and returned with something. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: Sit here!! It was a very fancy and large chair. The appearance of the chair, suitable for any kind, was burdensome, but I accepted it obediently. [All] I'm Sleepy: Get on your knees While I was at it, I ordered Yoo Chae as if I had become a real king. Who cares. I’m a proud victim. [All] Yoo Chae: Yes! Yoo Chae quickly knelt in front of me and sat down without any complaints. He showed no hesitation as well. [All] Yoo Chae: I got down on my knees! [All] I’m Sleepy: let’s get right to the point I recalled the information I had heard from Kim Dae-seok before going to my part-time job. [All] I’m Sleepy: The lost Staff [All] I’m Sleepy: Is it true that the actual value is over 160 ten thousand won? [All] Yoo Chae: 160 ten thousand? [All] Yoo Chae: Well [All] Yoo Chae: I think it’s more than that? ㅇㅅㅇ “……” Why are you putting that annoying emoji? ‘Hold on... I still have more to ask.’ Engraving a seal of patience in my heart, I asked the second question. [All] I’m Sleepy: How difficult is it to make 2 lux? [All] Yoo Chae: That’s true [All] Yoo Chae: But I succeeded at one try haha “……” [All] I’m Sleepy: If you strengthen it to Lux 2, the coefficient is 1.5 times? [All] Yoo Chae: Probably 1.8 times? ‘I wish I could hit his head with a keyboard.’ [All] I’m Sleepy: Why are you giving me fk something like that? All] I’m Sleepy: I didn’t even hit the max level [All] Yoo Chae: There is only one erg left [All] Yoo Chae: If I fail, I’ll give you a new one [All] Yoo Chae: I was going to give you something else anyway. [All] Yoo Chae: It was just a success^^ [All] Yoo Chae: It’s completely fate! [All] I’m Sleepy: bullshit; [All] I’m Sleepy: Then it being stolen is also fate? [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: As soon as Hyung hit max level [All] Yoo Chae: I wanted to enhance the staff... [All] Yoo Chae: I lost that opportunity due to Fever [All] Yoo Chae: I’m a little sad that it’s in someone’s hands Who even wants it. All of a sudden, I felt extreme fatigue. I sighed deeply as I touched my forehead, but I was restless while Yoo Chae accepted my silence and continued the chat. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: Even if you don’t get the staff back in the selection [All] Yoo Chae: Don’t be too disappointed [All] Chae Yoo: I’ll buy you a better one ‘I don’t need it, you crazy bastard...………’ I looked at the monitor screen with a complicated mind. Yoo Chae was still on his knees in front of me. The question that came to mind when I heard the staff explanation from Kim Dae-seok continued to linger in my head. I hesitated for a moment with my hand on the keyboard, but I soon made up my mind and started chatting. [All] I’m Sleepy: hey maybe [All] I’m Sleepy: Have we met somewhere before? --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: the million dollar question is… why the fuck on earth would you give something expensive to someone, you have met online!

26. “Don’t forget to take the other path on the next turn.” Hearing the explanation of Drink some water, I hurriedly fired my skills at the monsters that were flocking together. Even if you participated in the discord voice room, there was no need to talk since this dungeon was new to you, and you were only being carried. Otherwise, it will only interfere with the order. [Party] This is Dorahee: Yep haha Doing the same thing as me, Dorahee answered through the chat, instead of using a microphone, except when she said hello earlier. Even Yoo Chae didn’t say anything, so the only voices he could hear were Drink some water, Harn, Park Seung-jin, and crazy hunting friend. “Huh? But I’m Sleepy-nim, isn’t that the same staff you used to use?” Park Seung-jin, who was carefully examining my skill damage, asked in a curious voice. “It looks like it has become very sloppy...……” “En? That’s right.” At Park Seung-jin’s words, his brotherhood clashed with me. The two of them did not know that the staff had been taken away, so it was understandable that they reacted like this. ‘I think most of the guild members know that Yoo Chae gave me a Solis staff with a stat of Lux.’ Does this mean I was the only one who got the staff that all the guild members knew? Anyway, let’s just finish this raid. [Party] I’m Sleepy: I don’t like the guy who gave me the staff as a present [Party] I’m Sleepy: So I just used something else [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅜㅡㅜ?? I was too tired to think of plausible excuses, so when I gave a rough answer, Yoo Chae intervened like crazy. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung, if you don’t like, [Party] Yoo Chae: Do you want me to buy you a new one? [Party] This is Dorahee: It’s not like Sleepy-nim has only one staff and [Party] This is Dorahee: You don’t like Gilma-nim, do you? haha [Party] Yoo Chae: ? “Pfft!” After Dorahee’s chat, everyone burst into laughter. I also covered my mouth with my hand and swallowed the laughter that flowed out. [Party] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Perhaps, Gilma-nim is crying? ㅠ [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Just go a little bit gently with himㅋㅋ~ [Party] Hrn: Right now I’m laughing like a dog with my microphone turned off fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: Why [Party] Yoo Chae: did you open your mouth.. omg [Party] This is Dorahee: It’s just, from what I saw [Party] This is Dorahee: that’s what I thought. [Party] This is Dorahee: Sleepy haha [Party] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung... [Party] Yoo Chae: That person said something strange to me ;ㅡ; When I didn’t take his side, Yoo Chae whined like a sick puppy. Who told you to lie to me? You did it all on your own. “Let’s stop playing around and focus. The middle boss should appear by now.” As soon as Drink some water was finished with her words, the ground shook violently with a thud. It was the appearance of the middle boss, Master Lycan. 「A new prey has arrived.」 The low and heavy voice of the Master Lycan echoed along with the growls of the grumbling beast. The werewolf-shaped Master Lycan had little stamina but had an extremely high defense and had a charge, making it one of the most difficult monsters to deal with for a long-distance dealer in many ways. “Let’s go right in.” As Drink some water stood in front of the Master Lycan, a twinkling light streamed from above. It was a pure white shield, a weapon of the Holy Knight, which is known as a particularly difficult job among tanks. “Sleepy-nim, you should stay with the buffer and assist while tanker and short-distance take on this.” As explained by her, I moved to the side of Dorahee, the buffer, and Harn, the healer, and started to cast a magic skill. 「I’ll eat every one of you, without leaving a single one!」 It was the line that signaled the start of the first phase of the middle boss. Master Lycan’s body swelled greatly and stood on all fours like a real wolf. He struck a pose that’s taken just before the charge is used. “Don’t stand in a straight line.” Drink some water pointed out exactly the important part. The first phase of Master Lycan is mostly filled with charges, unlike the bosses of the Keyrent dungeon, where tanks or short-distance dealers can attract aggro with attacks. However, since the charge runs in the direction where the designated opponent is, standing behind the person who is near the monster can increase the damage. So, I had to pay as much attention as possible so that the long-distance dealer and the character acting as a buffer were not in a straight line. When Yoo Chae, a mid-range dealer, took out a weapon and swung it once, the golden chain shone brilliantly with the sound of the metal chain clashing. 「Kaaaak!」 Master Lycan, who had been hit by the chain, screamed. Yoo Chae, who took the first aggro, continued to attack while he avoided Master Lycan, who was rushing towards him at high speed, with an evasion skill. ‘His damage deals are no joke.’ Compared to my skill damage, which is barely 5 thousand, the number of damage that Yoo Chae does every time he swings his chain is 20,000 by default. When the critical hits, it goes over 30,000. Even though Master Lycan’s defense is quite high, his deals are still over 20,000 damage... He is truly a great guy in many ways. “Now, I’ll come in too.” Crazy Hunting Friend stepped in between Master Lycan and Yoo Chae at the right time. As an infighter job, the golden gauntlet stuck in both hands of the character stood out. If one person drags aggro for more than 3 turns, the charge speed only increases for that opponent, so it is better to take turns doing it like a baton touch. Crazy Hunting friend, who took the aggro next to Yoo Chae, smashed the Master Lycan at high speed while wearing the gauntlet, and then widened the distance by back tumbling at the timing of the rush. One of the characteristics of the Infighter was that his attack was heavy compared to his light and agile movements. ‘Um? It would be dangerous to go that way.’ I kept changing positions and attacking according to the aggro of the guild members, but I noticed that Dorahee was moving in a dangerous direction. “Rahee-nim, don’t go there, come to me.” It was too urgent to have a chat, so I had no choice but to use the microphone. It’s a bit strange to say ‘Dorahee’ with a real voice, so I called her ‘Rahee’ like Drink some water. [Party] This is Dorahee: Ah Okay After hearing that, Dorahee turned around and ran towards me. At the same time, Master Lycan roared and rushed into the spot where Dorahee had just been. Also. [Party] This is Dorahee: tk Thank u haha [Party] Harn: Sleepy-nim, your senses are good ㅅㅅ After all, the precious buffer almost died. Still, I can live comfortably because Dorahee was not stubborn or slow in her hands. Drink some water, it’s worth saying that you brought a nice newcomer. Thinking that it’s a relief, I felt glad to be able to avoid Master Lycan’s dash with Dorahee, who was only following me, but Yoo Chae, who had been quiet the whole time, called me. “Hyu-Hyung.” “En?” Reflexively, I felt a little embarrassed as I blinked my eyes. Why are you calling me with such a pathetic voice? “Why–” “It’s nothing……………” Like a plant that withers away, he answered with a wilting energy. What did you suddenly call me? ‘I really don’t know him even though I know him.’ I evaded Master Lycan who was running towards me, kicking my tongue inwardly. It’s nothing after all, and I can’t ask for more. I have to turn my attention away from him and do what I have to do. *** (Drink some water’s POV) [Whisper] Harn: Right now [Whisper] Harn: Am I the only one scared? [Whisper] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hearing Harn’s whisper, he put the microphone aside and sighed quietly. The raid dungeon, which brought in the newcomers, I’m Sleepy and This is Dorahee, got off to a smooth start, contrary to the concerns of Drink some water. But, not surprisingly, things took a strange turn when I’m Sleepy started taking care of This is Dorahee. [Party] This is Dorahee: Sleepy-nim [Party] This is Dorahee: You are doing really good at the game [Party] This is Dorahee: bb [Party] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m Sleepy: tk tk I’m Sleepy and This is Dorahee, who seemed to have lost a lot of awkwardness with each other, due to their experience with helping each other out, continued to have a small conversation. And each time, Yoo Chae frantically swung his chain and slashed Master Lycan. [Whisper] Drink some water: Me too... [Whisper] Drink some water: I’m worried.. ha [Whisper] Harn: fr [Whisper] Harn: Sleepy-nim, is doing great but he’s– [Whisper] Harn: A little bit weak to women.. you know [Whisper] Harn: Like what happened with Cotton Candy Fox [Whisper] Harn: If not, then what?;; [Whisper] Drink some water: Ah it doesn’t really matter If that happened, it would be difficult to see it that way, and Yoo Chae would also become a part of the problem. Even now, it would make Yoo Chae so pissed that the two of them are just chatting while he’s beating monsters. How much worse will it be in the future? Just thinking about it was exhausting. 「You stupid bastards! The real fight starts now! 」 The devastated Master Lycan spit out lines that signaled the start of the second phase and summoned dozens of wolves. But before the others could come forward, they were all swept away by Yoo Chae’s chain attack. ‘That crazy bastard, did you boost your skills before this?’ He must have drunk a potion to increase attack power and increase attack speed since his power was stronger than before. What are you using that precious buff potion for when you’re just dealing with Shelton Normal’s mid boss? ‘I didn’t know that you would hate seeing Sleepy getting along with other users that much……’ Park Seung-jin, who was not able to attack properly due to Yoo Chae’s strong ambition, and Crazy hunting friend, who apparently noticed something, sent a whisper to Drink some water. [Whisper] Park Seung-jin99: What the heck?? [Whisper] Park Seung-jin99: Gilma-nim, why are you like this? [Whisper] Crazy hunting friend: Is this even a party for Gilma-nim? After all, I always do this sort of follow-up. I tapped the keyboard with the expression of a Tibetan fox on my account ‘Drink some water.’ [Whisper] Drink some water: No, he’s just being a dog like always [Whisper] Drink some water: Anyway, it’s not like what you think, but I’d rather not get involved [Whisper] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋ [Whisper] Park Seung-jin99: It’s better to stay away [Whisper] Crazy hunting friend: Ah ok The Guild members quickly understood the cut-out explanation of “Drink some water” and took a step back. It didn’t matter because he was on the normal mode and was fighting a mid-boss anyway. After Yoo Chae, who was running wild like an angry dog, killed Master Lycan, I’m Sleepy admired Yoo Chae, who had helped him by blowing magic from time to time. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Wow [Party] I’m Sleepy: you’re really strong [Party] Yoo Chae: Really? [Party] Yoo Chae: hahahaha ‘Oh my...…’ After seeing the chat, Yoo Chae, who had been showing signs of sulking, must have felt relieved while Drink some water shook her head in the sideline. ‘It’s severe.’ I don’t care what the two of you do, so please don’t involve me. Drink some water could only beg and beg that nothing harmful would happen to her. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: Definitely not him getting jelly~ If anyone wants to be an editor, translator, or proofreader, contact using the contact form on the top corner.

23. The guild members, who had been making a lot of noise among themselves saying they were going to die earlier, sent me a question to see if they had come to their senses too late. [Guild] Mocha Bread: So [Guild] Mocha Bread: Is Sleepy-nim really going to stay? [Guild] Mocha Bread: fr, come to our guild? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Yes — — [Guild] Let’s do this: Huk [Guild] Let’s do this: omg omg [Guild] Bright Clouds: Why don’t you think about it again? [Guild] Harn: ㅠㅠ okay then what about the fact that [Guild] Harn: Gilma-nim thought it would be a good thing to declare the battle on [Guild] Harn: The guild that accepts Sleepy-nim.. [Guild] I’ll take care of you: did you two make up? [Guild] I’ll take care of you: all of a sudden, they made up [Guild] I’ll take care of you: it’s kinda fascinating; From the guild member’s point of view, they must be wondering what on earth had happened. But how do I say this? I met the Fever Guild and lost the staff to that Gilma... Do I have to explain it to them? ‘It’s a little vague though.’ Just as Early Evening guild put a sub account in the Fever Guild, there may be at least one Fever Guild member here. Currently, the number of guild members connected to the guild is about 30, including absences. It was late at night, so most of the people were out. Above all, the guild chat was very dangerous because it could be even viewed while away or offline. Let’s not make hasty judgments. You can get your staff back only if you act carefully without making any mistakes. As soon as I finished worrying, a whisper flew in. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: The staff incident [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I think it would be better not to say about it in Guild chat. I was surprised to hear Yoo Chae had thought the same thing as me and sent a reply. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: yeah [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I guess that would be better It’s okay until I join the Early Evening Guild. Fever probably thinks that I ran away to the powerful guild out of fear or anger. It doesn’t matter what they think. The important thing is that I’m after the staff. If this goes to Fever, they’ll never wear the staff from the start of the selection. Then, the opportunity to kill the opponent newbie and get the staff back will be blown away. For now, it’s better for only Yoo Chae, Drink some water, I’m getting lazy and Harn knows. They must be reliable guild members to participate in the selection meeting. ‘Umm, let’s hide the staff incident for now……’ What excuse should I have for coming back in the Early Evening? After staring into the air for a while with my hand on the keyboard, I quickly made a decision. It’s very annoying. Let’s just rough it out. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Yes [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m actually made up with Yoo Chae [Guild] I’ll take care of you: ? [Guild] Mocha Bread: ? [Guild] TheHunter: En?fr yo? [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: What on earth happened? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Now [Guild] I’m Sleepy: We’re close friends [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: omg omg [Guild] Manaolingnam: Wow.. it must be real [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: I’m sure, since Gilma-nim is like this [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: and fk Sleepy-nim says so, then it’s real ㅋㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: uk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: Gilma-nim got lucky ha [Guild] Drink some water: Think whatever Fortunately, people who knew about the staff incident pretended not to know. Everyone has a good sense of humor too. Yoo Chae asked me, ignoring the chat of the guild members. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: Which raid should we go for? ㅎ.ㅎ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Shelton [Guild] Yoo Chae: it’s getting late today [Guild] Yoo Chae: you’ll go, right? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Come with me! [Guild] Drink some water: Oh Shelton? [Guild] Drink some water: another newbie has to go to Shelton too. [Guild] Drink some water: So that’s good, it seems like we can all participate in it, okay [Guild] I’m Sleepy: What kind of good newbie joined the guild? [Guild] Drink some water: okay [Guild] Drink some water: it’s a buffer, who’s not bad Well, since I wasn’t there, they must have needed another newbie to participate in the selection. [Guild] Drink some water: But not now [Guild] Drink some water: I think I’ll come in the afternoon [Guild] Mocha Bread: Very niceㅇㅅㅇ [Guild] TheHunter: It’s like… how should I say this? [Guild] TheHunter: Compared to Gilma-nim, she’s at the polar opposite; [Guild] I’m Sleepy: oh Anyway, I am now in a situation where I have to participate in the selection as a member of Early Evening, so there was nothing wrong with putting in little information. ‘Besides, it’s a buffer.’ Thanks to Cotton Candy Fox, I desperately realized how helpful the existence of a buffer is in battle. In particular, the longer the skill cooldown and the more restrictive jobs like Dark Mage, the sweeter the buff felt. ‘...Un? But wait…’ Come to think of it, Cotton Candy Fox is Yoo Chae, right? This bastard... he just asked me where I should go to raid? He’s so obvious. I was going to ignore it today, but I’m so annoyed that I can’t. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: But I [Guild] I’m Sleepy: already started going on raids ㅋ [Guild] Yoo Chae: ?? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: There’s a party when I went to Keyrent last time [Guild] I’m Sleepy: We’re so very close to each other [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I can’t do it alone without them^^ [Guild] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: fkㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋㅋ.. [Guild] Mocha Bread: haha..; I laughed out loud looking at Yoo Chae, who couldn’t say anything in embarrassment. You never dreamed it would be like this, did you? Good, you bastard. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung then [Guild] Yoo Chae: If those party people don’t come in there [Guild] Yoo Chae: Are you doing it with us? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Right? You’re going to do it with me, right? ㅜㅡㅜ “……” I was at a loss for words after reading Yoo Chae’s chat that came up after a long time. ‘If you’re going to cheat, do your best at least, you idiot.’ Grabbing my throbbing, aching forehead, I let out a sigh. I would rather he openly say, ‘Actually, I’m Cotton Candy Fox. Hyung!’ It was better to shout it out loud. He said that they had made up, so I can’t even swear…… [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Why do we have to go together haha; [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’ll just do it with the others like I used to [Guild] Yoo Chae: Ah I don’t want that [Guild] Yoo Chae: Please just do it with me [Guild] Yoo Chae: With me! ㅜㅜ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: what’s wrong fk [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m going with the other members [Guild] Manaolingnam: I don’t think that will happen [Guild] Yoo Chae: Where would I go without Hyung?! [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Oh my wow~ [Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’ll take care of you: Ah Fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: That’s what you call a great pure love; [Guild] Let’s do this: Maybe from now on [Guild] Let’s do this: Gilma-nim, do I have to keep watching you do that? [Guild] Harn: yeah [Guild] Mocha Bread: Ah, I think I lost my mind.. [Guild] TheHunter: Since you two had made up now [Guild] TheHunter: how about adding each other as friends [Guild] Bright Clouds: Oh you thinking big now [Guild] Drink some water: go go go [Guild] Drink some water: Let’s add each other as friends [Guild] Drink some water: use friend chat [Guild] I’ll take care of you: Our gilma-nim [Guild] I’ll take care of you: has a lot of time afterall [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: These days, in today’s world.. [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: If you have a lot of time, it’s over.. [Guild] Harn: I agree ‘Is that what you’re focused on right now?’ After being in doubt for a while, I soon was convinced by the other person’s username. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: My face looks pretty too ㅎㅡㅎ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Ah ㅋㅋ talking openly now aren’t you ㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: I can’t even call it [Guild] Harn: talking openly ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: between strangers [Guild] I’m Sleepy: how to add each other as friends [Guild] Yoo Chae: Shall we go together? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: get out of your fantasies and come back to reality; [Guild] Yoo Chae: Will you be friends with me in real life? >_< [Guild] I’m sleepy: ? [Guild] Bright Clouds: Oh~ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Oh~ [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Anyone who hasn’t done the Crusade quest yet? [Guild] Mocha Bread: Oh~ [Guild] TheHunter: That’s me gogo “Ha, damn it....” What the hell is wrong with that bastard. I just can’t. Now let’s get rid of all the bullshit. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Anyway [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Let’s talk about Raid again tomorrow, okay? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Yes Even if I said that, I knew that in the end we would go around the raid together, as I knew Yoo Chae was capable of doing that. In retrospect, it doesn’t really change anything. [Guild] Drink some water: If you’re going to do it with us [Guild] Drink some water: tell us in advance [Guild] Drink some water: I have to ask that newbie also if I get the chance [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ok ok After sending the reply, I checked the time. It was already past 2 in the morning. In order to go to work part-time after waking up and exercising, I had to wash up and go to bed. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m feeling sleepy now [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m tired [Guild] Drink some water: bai bai bai [Guild] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim, good night [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: bai bai [Guild] Harn: The situation where the ‘I’m sleepy-nim’ said I’m sleepy ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: Ukㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: ?.. [Guild] Mocha Bread: What the fuck [Guild] I’m getting lazy: What the hell Guild member Harn’s guild contribution has been changed to 0 points. [Guild] Harn: Uh? [Guild] I’ll take care of you: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: It’s like a fucking knife alright ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ “……” Crazy people...……… I deleted the goodnight reply I wrote in the chat window with the backspace and quietly quit Zenoris. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei MM: Laying it thick, aren’t you, YC?

24. - Hey, sorry for not replying yesterday. Kim Dae-seok contacted me the day after I joined Early Evening Guild. As I was about to leave the house to go to work after wearing sneakers, I got a call from Kim Dae-seok. - I only returned late in the morning yesterday. “It must be so exciting because it’s a vacation.” - Yesterday I couldn’t help it! Tae-sung said he brought a girl close to him and introduced her to me! If it’s Tae-sung, isn’t he the guy who studied and drank alcohol at the same time during the exam period? I asked indifferently. “So what’s the outcome with the new girl you met?” - …We decided to be good friends. She was pretty nice. That’s right. It was the expected result. - Ah-hm. Anyway, about what you told. Kim Dae-seok, who coughed once, reminded me of the staff I had lost yesterday. A weapon with a stat of Lux 2.0. The Fever Guild master, who took it, said it was definitely expensive. - What kind of staff is it? “Solis level 4.” - Oh, so it’s going to be expensive? Are you going to buy it? “No. I’m not saying I’m going to buy...…” Was that expensive? I sighed, rubbing my forehead in the rushing fatigue. “I lost it.” - Un? Lost? What? “Solis’ level 4 staff with a stat of Lux. I lost it.” - What? Kim Dae-seok, who did not understand what I was saying, asked in a stupid voice. - How do you have it? “I got it. As a gift.” - What? Crazy, from whom? “….Well. The guy who always gives me things.” - Is it from Early Evening? “……” Even without an answer, the meaning of the silence was clear. - Wow… oh my........ “Tell me how expensive it is.” - Well. It’s definitely not the final level either. But it’s still expensive though. I also don’t know the proper price for mage items... Maybe 1.6 million won or so? 1.6 million won? So, it’s about 160 ten thousand won in cash? - It could be more expensive now. The price is constantly changing, and the price of Lux goes up over time. Crazy. So, have I been carrying around a weapon worth of 1.6 ten million won without even reaching my max level? - The reason it’s exceptionally expensive compared to others is that it’s difficult to make. To enhance Lux, you need an item called ‘Erg of Light’, which is only occasionally released through events. “So, it’s only released through events?” - Unn. 1 Luck is cheap. When a user crafts a weapon, there’s a certain probability that a staff with 1 Luck will appear. But for 2 lux, you have to use erg, but the success rate is extremely low. It’s probably around 5% or 6%? “That’s low.” - Besides, Erg is only sometimes released through events, making it more difficult to succeed. I remembered the first time Yoo Chae handed the Solis staff to me. When I searched the auction house, I remembered that the Lux 1.0 Quarterfinal Luna staff was 5,000 gold. Anyway, I need to fix this personality that gives a rough pass on anything that’s been given to me. As I thought about that, I felt something strange and frowned. “Wait, it’s so difficult for the enhancement to succeed, but why isn’t there any explanation on the staff? It just said Lux 2.0.” - It’s probably because Lux is a lower job. But Gaeji is a basic job. If you enhance the buff with Lux turned on, the floating coefficient is at least 1.5 times that of the others. “So absurd.” - Besides, Solis is a staff with a bit of a price, so when the two are combined, they are more expensive than the others. I also don’t know the buff coefficient exactly, so it’s just for reference. If you want to know properly, I think I’ll have to turn on Zenoris later and ask Guild members to find more info. “No, it’s okay. I’ll figure out the rest.” This is enough to know just the basic information. For more details, I’ll throw that information at him and grab that Yoo Chae guy who pretended not to know and ask. - Okay. But how did you lose it? Did it drop when you died? I briefly explained what happened yesterday. Kim Dae-seok, who listened with interest, said with a puzzled look when my story was over. - The situation is a mess. Why do you get into situations like this all the time? “I don’t know.” - Hey hey, you aren’t going to quit this game, are you? You held out when Early Evening Gilma was fooling around. Think of the beginner starter pack I bought! “Shut up. I have to go to part-time, so I’m hanging up now.” I hung up on Kim Dae-seok mercilessly and thought about the staff again. That’s 160 million won. Besides, if you enhance it, it gets more expensive, and it’s more of a background weapon. ‘…Isn’t this pretty bad?’ The duet between Cotton Candy Fox and Me, let’s turn the situation around and reach the max level first. And then bring it back. My pretty and lovely expensive staff. *** When I returned home from working part-time, I immediately connected to Zenoris after washing up. As soon as the system message stating that I was logged in appeared, the guild chat started pouring in. [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung! [Guild] Yoo Chae: Are you here? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung hyung!! [Guild] Yoo Chae: Do you want to go on a raid with me today? This is definitely not a dog begging to go for a walk...……. [Guild] Mocha Bread: Imma get out of here [Guild] Mocha Bread: till the selection ㅋㅋ [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: When the selection is over [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: Are you saying you’re going to get out of the guild, -nim? [Guild] Harn: -nim hi hi [Guild] Yoo Chae: ? [Guild] Mocha Bread: haha No way, right~ [Guild] Mocha Bread: Loyalty Loyalty ^^7 [Guild] Drink some water: hi hi [Guild] I’m Sleppy: Haiyo [Guild] Drink some water: Going on a raid? [Guild] Drink some water: There’s going to be another newbie coming with us [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Shelton normal mode let’s go [Guild] I’m Sleepy: But I [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I don’t know anything, so you should to tell me about the raid [Guild] Drink some water: ok ok [Guild] Drink some water: Normal mode is easy if we all DC and do it together [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Shelton? Make room for me [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Please put me in too, I’m heartbrokenㅠ [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: What about me?? Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, of course I am with you, right? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung? [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Alright, you can come too; [Guild] Yoo Chae: Yesㅎㅡㅎ When will he get sick of me? After checking the equipment, I asked Water. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: When do we leave? [Guild] Drink some water: Well [Guild] Drink some water: In about 15 minutes later? [Guild] Drink some water: Go to Shelton first, okay? [Guild] Drink some water: we’ll be there with the other newbie as soon as we can [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ok ok [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: I’m already in front of the dungeon!! [Guild] Harn: Shelton has a party with limit to 7 members [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: First come first serve ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: I’m already in front of the dungeon, count me in too [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: what? That’s so fast; After I arrived at the entrance of the Shelton dungeon by moving quickly, I found the guild members standing among several users. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung! [All] Yoo Chae: Come here! Yoo Chae, who saw me, ran to me and showed empathy with shame along with the party window. I clicked on the party window [111111] above his character to enter the party. [Party] Yoo Chae: hahahahahaha [Party] Crazy hunting friend: -nim Hai [Party] Harn: hi hi [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Now let’s wait for Water-nim and the newbie I tried to ignore Yoo Chae spinning around me and opened the inventory window. The original Lux 2.0 Solis staff was taken away, but it was not like I didn’t have any other weapons to use. A guild member from Fever Guild dropped when he died. Although it’s a Luna staff, it was worth using it to a certain extent since it’s level 5. I wore it first. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Is that a new staff? As soon as I put on my weapon, Yoo Chae quickly stuck to me and sent me a question. I could feel the dog’s tail rustling behind his back. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: Is it enhanced? [Party] Yoo Chae: Shall I take a look at its condition? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Gilma-nim, do your best [Party] Crazy hunting friend: You're making a fuss as usual.. [Party] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋ [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Not surprisingㅋ [Party] Harn: yeah; I ignored all of Yoo Chae’s words and swung the staff as it was. The staff slapped the head of the character Yoo Chae with a pounding sound. [Party] Yoo Chae: ??? Yoo Chae, who couldn’t avoid being close to me for no reason and got beaten, was startled and started chatting. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung? [Party] I’m Sleepy: you need to be beaten [Party] Yoo Chae: What? As I continued to beat Yoo Chae with a flat blow, Yoo Chae, who had quietly endured all the beatings, began to run away. Do you think I’ll stop here? I followed him in a hurry and kept hitting him with a flat blow. [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyungㅠ.ㅠ [Party] Yoo Chae: It hurts! [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung ㅜㅜ [Party] I’m Sleepy: Of course [Party] Yoo Chae: Huk.. ㅜㅡㅜ It would hurt, but the difference in specs is already huge, and it’s made for a mage, so no matter how hard you hit, the number of deals was only 10 or 20. With this kind of damage, even 200 hits won’t kill you. [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Now you’re trying to catch him [Party] Harn: Just ignore it and watch YouTube ㅋㅋ --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei MM: THAT WAS ADORABLE HM: I feel like YC deserves the hitting from I’m sleepy If anyone wants to be an editor, translator, or proofreader, contact using the contact form on the top corner.

25. Yoo Chae, who had been running away for a while, seemed to have given up completely, so he was slapped with a flat blow. The damage was weak anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you get hit, right? Unlucky guy. It was at that time when I was so excitedly hitting Yoo Chae. [Guild] This is Dorahee: Hello haha [Guild] Drink some water: gasp hi hi hi [Guild] Harn: Hello~ [Guild] Mocha Bread: Newcomer-nim, Hi~ [Guild] Seasoned Crab sauce: hihi [Guild] Manaolingnam: Oh Dorahee-nim Hello~ Newcomer? Is the username ‘This is Dorahee’ a normal level buffer this time? I stopped beating Yoo Chae and asked through the party chat window. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Is she the one who’s a newcomer this time? [Party] Harn: Yep [Party] Harn: Username is kinda weird, but she’s nice [Party] Crazy hunting friend: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Crazy hunting friend: I agree [Party] Crazy hunting friend: To what extent, How much? [Party] Crazy hunting friend: Even when Gilma twists a poem of anger, she won’t blink an eye.. [Party] Park Seung-jin99: yeah [Party] Park Seung-jin99: She just ignored him ‘…Isn’t ignoring him kinda rude?’ Rather, it seems that this bastard, Yoo Chae, quarreled with that newbie the same way he did with me. How pathetic. [Party] I’m Sleepy: you fix your rubbish temper [Party] Yoo Chae: Me? [Party] Yoo Chae: Does that temper make me look like a trash? It was ridiculous to see Yoo Chae pretending not to know. Of course, it’s you. No one else here who could do that but you. [Party] I’m Sleepy: yeah [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Party] Yoo Chae: I’m a kind person tooㅜㅡㅜ.. “……” He has always been like that. Let’s not talk anymore. Finally, I swung the staff one more time to remove the character of Yoo Chae, who was clinging next to me. [Guild] Drink some water: We’re going to the Shelton Normal mode, Would you like to join us? [Guild] Drink some water: There’s a seat empty~ [Guild] This is Dorahee. Ah [Guild] This is Dorahee: I would love to haha [Guild] Drink some water: Good [Guild] Drink some water: Go to Shelton entrance, Let’s go go As soon as the chat was over, Drink some water appeared in front of us. She, who had just joined the party, asked me. [Party] Drink some water: What do you think? [Party] Drink some water: Is it okay for her to raid with us? [Party] I’m Sleepy: Of course it’s okay [Party] I’m Sleepy: The guild members all say she’s nice too [Party] Drink some water: It’s Rahee’s first-time raiding [Party] Drink some water: Yoo Chae, that bastard, scolded her again Rahee? Is it possible that Dorahee is shortened to Rahee? ‘Honestly, the username is not unusual……’ [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: Don’t say bullshit [Party] Yoo Chae: What if our Sleepy Hyung really believes it? [Party] Drink some water: Bullshit is what you are doing right nowㅡㅡ; By the way, I wasted so much time, while being absorbed in beating Yoo Chae. I hurriedly sent him a whisper. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: after we finish raiding [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Let me talk to you for a min [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ai Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Our progress is too fast>.< [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: bs Don’t say that [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: the staff you gave me is so damn expensive [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Explain it properly later [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ah, that’s what you meant? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: ㅎㅡㅎ Of course that’s what I meant to talk about, what did you misunderstand that for? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Well, Of course I’ll do that [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Then when our raid is over. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Let’s go on a date? >///< [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: ; Crazy guy... Why couldn’t I just ask Kim Dae-seok to find out? The regret came too late. [Party] Drink some water: Rahee is buffer and Sleepy is Mage [Party] Drink some water: the combination seems appropriate [Party] Harn: It’s normal anyway [Party] Harn: It seems like it won’t be that bad [Party] Park Seung-jin99: First, let’s go to Discord? [Party] Drink some water: okay [All] This is Dorahee: Hello haha Even Dorahee, the last member of the raid, arrived at the front of the dungeon. After confirming that everyone had gathered, Drink some water posted a link to the dedicated server for the DC Guild in the party chat window. [Party] Drink some water: here, go go [Party] Drink some water: Enter the server and look to the left [Party] Drink some water: there’s the Raid Voice Channel [Party] Drink some water: Raid channel is the 3rd one [Party] Harn: Yep [Party] Drink some water: Let’s do it with our mics turned on, okay? [Party] I’m Dorahee: Yep [Party] Drink some water: Sleepy and Rahee [Party] Drink some water: In the group chat room, join now [Party] Drink some water: Wait, the invitation link expired [Party] Drink some water: I’ll make a new one [Party] Drink some water: I’ll invite you around a bit later [Party] This is Dorahee: yes yes [Party] I’m Sleepy: yes I turned on the DC and answered appropriately, but suddenly Yoo Chae came and sent me a quick whisper. [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung Hyung [Whisper] Yoo Chae: wait a min [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: ? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I’ve been curious since the last time [Whisper] Yoo Chae: It’s Hyung’s real name in Discord, right? Oh, right. I forgot to change it. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: yeah [Whisper] Yoo Chae: ??? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Change it quickly. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Why [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ah, just change it ㅠㅠ [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: It’s nothing.. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: it’s not that precious [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ah, I don’t like it [Whisper] Yoo Chae: I don’t like it! [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Change it quickly [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung please [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: why are you making a fuss with my name? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Hyung.. don’t you want to change it? [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Ji-han Hyung... “Ah, Fuck.” I got goosebumps at the behavior of Yoo Chae who called my real name, and swear words came out. Is he really a bastard? [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: I’ll change it [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Don’t call me that again.. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: Because it’s fucking... [Whisper] Yoo Chae: Yes, Ji-han Hyung! ㅇㅅㅇ [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: you fucking bastard After changing the username in Discord to ‘I’m Sleepy’ to be the same as Zenoris, I entered the Discord server. Looking through the discord server list, I noticed that everyone had the same username as their game username. ‘Well, it’s better to change.’ That way, chatting with other people won’t be too complicated. If not, I’ll have to explain it calmly. Still, why did he make such a big fuss about my name? All party members except me were already in the voice channel. I also turned on the microphone on the headset and joined the voice channel marked ‘Raid’. Last time, when I DC-ed with Yoo Chae, I was concerned about the situation of being alone in many ways, but there was nothing particularly awkward about a group call like this one. “Oh, you’re here.” “Sleepy-nim, welcome.” “Nice to meet you.” “So, we’re all here, right?” “Hello~!” In line with the voices, the icons of Harn, Crazy hunting friend, Park Seung-jin, Drink some water, and This is Dorahee flickered in turn. Harn, Crazy hunting friend, and Park Seung-jin were men and Dora-hee was a woman. They introduced each other when they first joined, so I knew she was a woman, but I didn’t know if the newcomer was really a girl. Then again, guessing gender based on game usernames or characters is useless. “Hyung! Are you here?” Finally, Yoo Chae, whom I had heard once before, opened his mouth. What are you getting so excited about? I said hello while adjusting the microphone height by hand. “Hello.” “Why did Gilma-nim turn on the microphone?” “I think it’s because Sleepy-nim came………” Harn and Park Seung-jin started to gossip. Hearing that in a real human voice instead of in a chat... feels a bit terrible. “Shall we go right in?” Drink some water said with a slightly husky voice. “Everyone else will be fine… Do you know the strategy to get around Shelton, Sleepy and Rahee?” “I did watch the strategy and some videos.” “I only saw videos.” “Then we can start. It's a normal mode anyway, so there’s nothing difficult, so let’s do it like we’re learning this round.” At the words of the Drink some water, party leader Harn selected the normal mode and pressed enter immediately. The screen changed and the inside of the dungeon full of bushes was revealed. Although the difficulty of the Shelton Dungeon wasn’t that high, it was one of the difficult raids to clear because the road was complicated with trees, tall grasses and monsters appearing so often. So, the more familiar you are with the party members, the easier it is to clear. Just like the Early Evening party I am with. ‘More than that……’ I shifted my gaze to the Discord window that was moved to the sub-monitor. Why is Yoo Chae so quiet? I expected you to say something strange, such as ‘I’m happy to hear my Hyung’s voice again’. After the first greeting, the guy remained silent without interfering with a small talk. ‘If it’s quiet, I’m more comfortable.’ Even though I was thinking about that, I felt a bit uncomfortable, so I stroked the nape of my neck. He’s really an incomprehensible guy. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei MM: He’s probably fanboying or searching your real name online… Run, Jihan-ssi! Run! HM: That's nice advice.
