16. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: This way I, who accepted the offer from the leader, quietly stood next to Cotton Candy Fox. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Well, then until we chat again [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Let’s go put in deals The new location we moved to was within the attack range, but I trusted Cotton Candy Fox’s chat and started charging the fireball. Starting from the second phase, Marbas was not able to use any CC, so it was better to attack with the skill that has the strongest damage. 「You pieces of shit!」 Marbas screamed out angrily and swung his hammer on the ground in front of him. Kwaang, kwang! After hitting the ground twice in a row, the whole floor cracked, and the flames started soaring. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Now I expected to a certain extent that the monster would break the floor with its hammer, so I avoided the flames with the evasion skill while Cotton Candy Fox’s chat popped up. The red light that’s directed in this spot meant the last attack. Unlike me, Cotton Candy Fox, Bumble Wing Wing, Suwon Special City and Let’s Go Witcher were on the other side, easily avoiding two consecutive attacks. Unlike other jobs, the skill cooldown was short and there was one more evasion skill. The tank, What Do You Soy Milk, is basically immune to CC and has remarkably high defense and stamina, so there is no need to move because he won’t die easily with only a healer to assist him. After seeing Bumble Wing Wing who was putting in deals uninterrupted from behind the monster for a long time, I finally understood the concept of the word ‘position of job’ spoken by Cotton Candy Fox. ‘Every job has a different role to play and a different position.’ Originally, Cotton Candy Fox would also be giving buffs in a place like Bumble Wing Wing. When I watched the video, I didn’t pay much attention to anything else because I was concentrating on the pattern and damage deals. Slowly understanding Marbas’ overall attack pattern to a certain extent, I easily avoided Whirlwind, which was quickly swung by the hammer 360 degrees behind him, and the jump-wide attack that hit all the maps by jumping high. Then, Cotton Candy Fox jumped up and down and praised me. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: You were really good~!! >ㅁ< [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Cool~!!♥♥♥ “……” How could you even type special characters in the middle of this frenzy? Crazy. 「Kkuuuuk!」 When the Witcher’s ultimate cooldown had just returned back to 0, and he fired again, Marbas, who was struck by it, staggered and spread his huge demon wings on his back. 「I’ll kill you all!」 Finally, the line announcing the third phase came out. Even though I couldn’t see it, I could tell that the health bar was about 30% left. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Beware of the sudden thumping of ground Unlike the previous phase, where Marbas stood still and attacked while standing in the center, the third phase, called was particularly dangerous, since it rushed around the map swiftly. The rush attack, which came at a random user with great speed, was difficult in many ways because you had to press the evasion skill at the right time. Still, it wasn’t difficult to put in deals, because every time you dash and hit the skill, there’s about a 3 seconds interval until the next rush. 「Die!」 The first user Marbas caught was Suwon Special City. Suwon Special City, who lightly avoided Marbas, who rushed towards with its flapping demon wings, and along with his evasion skill, he summoned dozens of swords from the air and hailed them down. It was the Warlord’s ultimate skill, . With a summoned sword stuck in his back, Marbas twisted its body as it designates the next opponent to charge towards. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Wha~ oa ~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: So scary~ fox is scared ㅠㅡㅠ Cotton Candy Fox, who found Marbas running like a bull towards her, floated a crying emote, while dodging its attacks skillfully. Avoiding the attacks while chatting and emoting, with such precise key controls—she was doing everything she could. This time, Marbas couldn’t crush her and ended up slammed on the wall, while all sorts of spells were casted on it. Looking at it like this, I feel a little pitiful. 「Laugh… laugh…!」 Marbas’ body turned bright red as he turned towards the third designated opponent. That meant he was about to die, and the last person to be rushed towards to was me. While Marbas was rushing towards me, anyone couldn’t help me, since all damage and CC were negated. I calmly judged the situation while watching Marbas getting nearer. The moment when Suwon Special City used the evasion skill was when the distance with Marbas got close to the point of a finger on the screen. In terms of time, you have to wait 2 seconds to charge again. Cotton Candy Fox did not use an evasion skill but avoided it at a closer distance. It took about 3 seconds. However, in the case of Suwon City, Marbas started from the center of the map and towards him, and Cotton Candy Fox was across them from end to end, so the rush took longer. So, it was much more accurate to avoid it based on the distance on the screen rather than the time [3 seconds]. I’m glad the party members avoided the attacks before me. I pressed the evasion skill when Marbas got close, just like Suwon Special City did. Kuung! Marbas, unable to hit me as expected, slammed himself against the wall again. [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Oh, Good Good [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ㅅㅅㅅㅅ [Party] Bee Wing Wing: ㅅㅅㅅ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahahaha As the skills of the party members that were being prepared in advance poured out, Marbas dropped his hammer with a final scream and fell to the floor. At the same time, several notifications popped up on the screen along with a huge amount of experience. Keyrent Underground Dungeon Cleared! You have defeated one of Solomon’s 72 demons, Marbas! You have acquired the title of ‘Hunting the Devil’! You have completed the quest to clear the Keyrent dungeon! You have completed the quest to clear the raid dungeon! You have completed the Devil Kill Quest! You have completed the Quest to kill the 1,000/1,000 monsters! Level-appropriate raid clear! Additional experience has been added! After clearing the dungeon, half of the experience bar was filled at once. It meant that I could hit level 216 by just one more round of the Keyrent [Normal]. ‘Crazy… This is why everyone is crazy about raids.’ Even as a raid reward, equipment items and materials needed for remodeling were generously provided. I really understood now why everyone recommends Dungeon raids. [Party] Suwon Special City: That was great Yo~ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Good work Good work [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ㅅㅅㅅGreat work, everyone [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Whoa, finally it ended [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Sleepy-nim, were you afraid of the dog when it chased you? omg; [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Fr [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: It’s hard to avoid being smashed into the wall [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: it must be weird to strangely die like that in the end, okay [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahahahaha [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa, good job hahahaha [Party] I’m Sleepy: tk tk Thank you for your hard work Even so, I don’t know if Cotton Candy Fox liked it so much when I did well. I thought this, while I thanked them and organized my inventory that had been wrecked out of order with new items. ‘Are we disbanding the party now?’ Usually, a raid party goes again for 3 times in a row, but there was no talk about such here... Besides, everyone’s skills are good, so I don’t think there will be any major problems if I left anyway. Thanks to this opportunity, I was able to participate in a raid party and got the experience I needed. While I was about to say my last goodbye and get out of their way, Cotton Candy Fox clung to me again. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa! [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Oppa is really good at games~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Do you want to keep partying with us??ㅇ.ㅇ Continuing together? I had to ask if it’s okay, just in case. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Do you want to do more today? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: No~ Continuously!! I want to!! ^ㅅ^ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Today too! Tomorrow too! And the next day after that too!! It means being in a long-term party. At Cotton Candy Fox’s suggestion, I thought deeply. ‘Why?’ It was a party that went well without me. But, if they also run raids other than Keyrent seriously, they’ll need a ranged dealer. Anyway, it wasn’t a bad suggestion for me either. It cuts down on time spent looking for parties. [Party] I’m Sleepy: I would like to then [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ㅇㅅㅇ!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Then, Sleepy Oppa~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I need to find more equipment for you^.^! “......?” What does this mean? Are you saying that I need to wear more gear to let me in your party? Tilting my head after reading the incomprehensible chat, Cotton Candy Fox offered some items through the transaction deal. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: These shoes that increases speed [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: and these bracelets that has Magic Resistance against all evils! The items on the trading window were shoes and a bracelet. Just in case, I hovered the mouse cursor to check the information and found that the movement speed and magic resistance mentioned by Cotton Candy Fox was true. ‘What is this......’ Netkama usually rips items off the other, but they do the opposite way? This is just great, really. [Party] I’m Sleepy: it’s okay; [Party] I’m Sleepy: I can live without it [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Eh, are you not going to accept these two? ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: These two aren’t expensive~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Just take it! Let’s just go back together now!!! ;_; It’s definitely not an expensive item. [Party] I’m Sleepy: I just can’t take it;; [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sure, Sleepy Oppa haha [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Will you tell me something after receiving the item? [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It’s no big deal~ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Why did you said thank you to What Do You Soymilk earlier [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: exchange for that???^^ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox was so curious about that I almost couldn’t even avoid getting hit by the wall~! ㅠ.ㅜ “……” [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋwhat’s this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Fr now I’m also curious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: yeah After seeing the reaction, I’m curious about itㅋㅋㅋ I slowly shut my eyes and opened them. From a high level of understanding and skill in the game, to the bottomless and never-ending crush, and even the behavior of trying to do something over and over again… I slowly moved my hand and typed ‘Whisper/Yoo Chae’ in the chat window and then sent a chat. [Whisper] I’m Sleepy: hey Immediately after that, a system message came up. The other person cannot be found. Upon seeing this, I raised the corners of my mouth and laughed wildly.

15. It was not a dungeon in which the boss room was really far away, but it was difficult to break through quickly as the number of monsters pouring out on each path kept increasing. A wolf-type monster that was not easy to kill because of its fast movement speed and high defense appeared this time. SInce they came from all directions, it was quite difficult to find a place to shoot the damage deal. Just as he was avoiding the attacks of the monsters with the evasion skill and poured out the skills that cast relatively quickly, someone suddenly clung to him. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Kyaaa,ㅠ I’m scared!!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It hurts so much, please save me ㅠㅇㅠ!!! “……” As I wondered what it was, I saw that it was Cotton Candy Fox getting beaten by a monster and had half of her blood drained. As the long-distance dealers, the Witcher and I, were running around and putting damage deals in, the Buffer Cotton Candy Fox and Healer Bumble Wing Wing were forced to dodge the attacks and assist. Cotton Candy Fox was putting in heals in between and was doing well compared to the Bumble Wing Wing, but barely managed to escape with 20% of her remaining blood. So, it seems like she was hit on purpose. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Please catch it quickly ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox is very scared~;ㅡ; “Huh………” At the same time as chatting like a beggar, the buffs came in. I killed the monster that followed Cotton Candy Fox with my head facing downwards. That way, I won’t see those horrible chats anymore. [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Everything is going well [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: But aren’t the buffs being used too often, you guys? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Uh-huh [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Then you wouldn’t be able to continually get the attack buffㅡㅡ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: fr ㅋㅋ [Party] Suwon Special City: Please be careful [Party] Suwon Special City: I need a recovery buff too Fk The number of overlapping buffs is at most three, and the duration is short, so the buffer had to cycle through the buffs suitable for each job group without a break. At the words of the Witcher, Cotton Candy Fox used an additional buff skill. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ^^ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ha sweet.. [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: sweet.. heh [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: no, fkㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: You’re really cool [Party] Suwon Special City: Did you hit your head Witcher;; It was a chatting conversation that only made me give a sigh of relief, but what was surprising was the fact that the number of monsters decreased rapidly as each of them did their job thoroughly while laughing and chatting like this. ‘No matter how you look at it, it looks like this is a party of sub-accounts………’ Compared to others who got along for getting the quest reward or were wearing equipment that was relatively cheap, their understanding of the game and skills were far superior. For a party who are together for the first time, there were not just one or two suspicious parts. It’s clear that most of the people here are using sub-accounts, considering that the amount of damage is not low even while actively using the control to avoid attacks or chatting. Did you come here to help Cotton Candy Fox, who isn’t at full level like me? But anyway, if you’re going to do a dungeon raid, you don’t use sub-account, do you? That was weird too. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa, Well done! >ㅡ< [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Is it your first time here? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It’s amazing that you didn’t die once or twiceㅇ.ㅇ [Party] I’m Sleepy: yes it’s the first time As soon as Cotton Candy Fox finished dealing with the monster, she ran to me as if she had been waiting and gave me all kinds of aegyo [1] and flirted non-stop. ‘I mean, I guess I’m amazing.’ Of course, the strangest of them all was Cotton Candy Fox. Why is a Netkama doing such obvious tricks these days? To be honest, I’m really dying to ask that question. Has anyone really fallen for something like this? [Party] Suwon Special City: Let’s meet the main boss now [Party] Suwon Special City: Right, let’s go? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim, it’s okay? [Party] I’m Sleepy: let’s go Since it was normal difficulty, we were able to meet the boss right away without encountering the middle boss. The moment everyone in the party went through the warp portal, the screen changed, and a cutscene appeared. 「New prey… has arrived! 」 The floor cracked, fire soared, and a lion-headed demon with large fangs appeared. This boss monster wielding a giant hammer was Marbas, one of Solomon’s 72 demons. When the cutscene ended, Marbas cried out loudly in front of the gathered characters. The full health bar at the top appeared briefly and then disappeared. This is one of the reasons why the dungeon raid was difficult. Unlike field raids, the health bar was not visible, so it was very difficult to estimate how much damage to put in and hold on till the end. [Party] Suwon Special City: Avoid the initial pattern but it’s okay if you do it anyway [Party] Suwon Special City: If you get hit, drink the potion right away without waiting for a heal [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: okayham When What Do You Soy Milk raised the sword he was holding, a white shield appeared in the air. Cotton Candy Fox also started buffing accordingly. Marbas has a total of three phases: In the first phase, its attacks only reach the middle of the map, so the ranged dealer or assistant had to stay outside of its range and assault the dragon. Moving on to the second phase, the entire map was within the boss attack range, so the first phase was really the only time the long-distance dealer could comfortably attack without getting hit in return. [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Sleepy-nim [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Move back further [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Even if you step back right in front of Fox-nim it’s okay [Party] I’m Sleepy: okok Although I had already looked at the strategy video, it was my first map, so I didn’t know exactly the attack range of the first phase, so I was content chatting with Let’s Go Witcher. As soon as I retreated backwards, Marbas slammed his hammer into the ground and the raid started. The ground violently shook and so did the screen. The demon Marbas roars! Fear reduces health recovery speed and movement speed. 「Don’t expect that you can survive this!」 It was the line that signaled the start of the first phase. Like I saw in the strategy, I started charging Thunder Lightning. Fireball did more damage, but in the first phase, where CC [2] was done to some extent, the Thunder Lightning was better. Krrong! A red light appeared on the map floor at the same time as the monster howled. It was an indication of the range of the attack. When Marbas raised one leg and slammed the leg down, the ground sharply shook and the part of the map marked with red cracked, while flames were rising. Suwon Special City skillfully avoided the wide-area attack by doing some backflips. As soon as the second consecutive strike was over, a red light appeared in the shape of a fan and the hammer swept heavily. After confirming that Suwon Special City had barely avoided it, What Do You Soy Milk cast the skill. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I put in my [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Deal go It was one of the exclusive skills of the tank class ‘Guardian’. A white spark spread widely around What Do You Soy Milk, and Marbas’ gaze flew towards him. In this brief moment when the boss’s aggro was stuck on the tank, the dealers poured all their skills. I started charging for a fireball immediately after shooting a charged Thunder Lightning, and the Witcher pulled out a shining-silver bow. It was the Sharp Shooter’s ultimate skill, the skill. It was possible to use the ultimate skill so quickly because it was a skill with a shorter cooldown time than the other skills overall. 「Kaaah!」 After receiving all the attacks from the sharp shooter’s ultimate to the full charge of my fireball, Marbas tilted his upper body and roared once more. 「From now on, I’ll deal with you sincerely!」 It was the beginning of the second phase. From now on, the entire area in the map is included in the attack range. As expected, as soon as the dialogue was finished, a red light spread all over the floor. ‘Oh fuck……!’ The problem was that I knew the order of the attacks but didn’t know the exact range. I did not know which spots the first wide-area attack or the second wide-area attack would. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Come here After Cotton Candy Fox rushed to chat with me, I had no choice but to use the evasion skill to move backwards. I quickly identified the location where Cotton Candy Fox was. Fortunately, it wasn’t too far away. My hand moved first before deciding whether it was a good decision. Kwakwakwakwang! Marbas made a big 360-degree spin with its hammer horns nailed to the ground. While all the ground was being dug, I used my evasion skill and flew to the side of the Cotton Candy Fox, so I was able to arrive safely with only half of my blood gone. “Haa……….” When I saw that the place where I had just stood had been decimated, I took a deep breath of relief. I couldn’t completely avoid it, so it cut a little bit of blood, but that was okay. [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Gosh Sleepy-nim omg omg [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Glad you avoided that;;; [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah this [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Do you want me to say it without discord? It’s hard to explain this [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Stay with me this time ㄱ Cotton Candy Fox, who got rid of the strange emoticons and speech, continued chatting. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: This place is the second safe spot right now [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Mages need to go closer to the monster [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I’ll need to see the position of the monster so hold on to me till the end [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Please follow me At the same time as the Cotton Candy Fox hit the chat, she also used her evasion skill to avoid the second wide-area attack. It was an attack that was much easier to dodge than the previous one, so I frowned while evading it with control. ‘……You want me to follow you near the monster since I’m a mage?’ You are not even a max level... you are also a buffer at that? There aren’t many skills either...… ‘Perhaps, Cotton Candy Fox is also a sub-account.’ As a first-time user like me, there were too many obstacles to clear through. I was a bit troubled, but now it was not the time to discuss. I clicked my tongue and answered back. [Party] I’m Sleepy: okok – Note: [1] Aegyo – behaving in a flirtatious, coquettish manner [2] CC (Crowd Control): A generic term for techniques that incapacitate a character’s behavior by interfering with it. Usually there is fainting, sleep, bondage, and paralysis. – HM: our MC is too smart..

14. When all the party members gathered at the entrance of the dungeon, a system window automatically popped up. It was a dungeon difficulty selection window. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: What should we choose? [Party] Suwon Special City: Let’s go with hell mode? [Party] Let’s Go Witcher: Hell is the classic one; There were three levels of difficulty in Keyrant Dungeon: Normal, Hard, and Hell. Hell was the most difficult and Normal was the easiest, but it was true that Normal was still burdensome for beginners. ‘Wait. You want to go with Hell mode?’ Do these people know that I’m a beginner? Do I have to talk about it now? It was at that time when I just placed my hands on the keyboard to chat. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: There are two newbies you know [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Hell mode sounds kinda difficult [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Let’s go with Normal mode Cotton Candy Fox chatted in a very different tone from when she asked me if she could call me Oppa. ‘......Isn't she a Netkama? [1]’ Since I have played various kinds of games for a long time, I have met quite a few female users who enjoy playing games. What I learned while doing this is that most of the female users don’t chat things like ‘Oppa, I’m scared~’ or ‘I can do this>.<‘. No, of course, there are some people who do. However, the person who pretended to be a woman and approached them to eat support or wealth was overwhelmingly likely to be a man. I’ve often seen these kinds of cases happening around me. So, I thought that the Cotton Candy Fox was definitely a male bastard doing a netkama scheme. I’m sure that I may be wrong, and it was too soon to judge what’s going on. [Party] Suwon Special City: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ㅠㅠ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I don’t even want to battle in Normal mode [Party] Suwon Special City: Normal thenㄱㄱ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Ha, Does it have to be Normal mode? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it and log off ^^ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Let’s start at 8 O’clock [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Suwon Special City: ㅋㅋㅋha [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: For heaven’s sake, it’s the same fox-nim.. That must have felt so fucked up. However, the difficulty was set to Normal, so it’s a relief. Cotton Candy Fox, after seeing all the nonsensical words of Bumble Wing Wing, selected the same and immediately pressed the enter button. Soon the screen turned black, and the inside of the dungeon appeared. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa “……” Calling me Oppa like that. Goosebumps appeared all over my body. Regardless of Cotton Candy Fox’s gender, it was too bothersome for a stranger to call me ‘oppa’. [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Have you ever seen anything related to attacking strategy for this dungeon? ㅇ.ㅇ [Party] I’m Sleepy: Yeah, I’ve seen a few posts and videos a few times [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Let’s talk comfortably~>ㅡ< [Party] I’m Sleepy: heh.. [Party] I’m Sleepy: It’s okay When I refused with the utmost courtesy, Cotton Candy Fox bursts into tears, this time with a burst of emotion. A sound effect of ‘hiing~’ was also heard. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It’s Normal mode, so it shouldn’t be too difficult! [Party] Suwon Special City: Yeah Still avoiding attacks is important [Party] Suwon Special City: Since you already know the strategy and the attacks, you are good enough [Party] I’m Sleepy: okok Since I’m a newbie, the party members are probably a bit anxious and feel uneasy too. I know that from what I saw in the video, the Normal route didn’t have a lot of damage deals, so if I just focus, I’ll be fine. With the mindset of dying as little as possible, I followed the party members deeper inside the dungeon. Before long, gigantic monsters that looked like zombies came rushing in. Dozens of monsters like this came rushing in until we reached the boss room. There were so many numbers that it was difficult to save the party members if they were to die even once. I quickly pulled the character back and lifted the staff. Even so, if you are crowded, you can get that much splash damage[2], so it was good for a wizard with a lot of wide area skills to put a deal. Tanker, What Do You Soy Milk, blocked the monsters in front. The Warlord, Suwon Special City, wielded dual swords, and the Archer, Let’s Go Witcher, fired a poisoned arrow. As I watched them, I started charging the easiest attack fireball, and found that the casting speed suddenly increased. Not only casting speed, but also mana recovery and damage? ‘Crazy.’ So, this is what it feels like to be buffed. This is the first time I’ve actually been buffed by a Buffer, and I really liked it. Buffer was one of the few jobs with as few users since they had to be healer first, so it was not easy to meet them. My likeability towards Cotton Candy Fox, who was dungeon crawking, increased slightly. Thanks to this, I finished charging the skill faster than usual, so I dropped the fireball right at the center of the monsters. Boom—! With a roar, the blood of the monsters hit by the fireball fell in half. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: That was so Cool! >ㅁ<)/ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: How was fox’s buff? ㅎㅡㅎ [Party] I’m Sleepy: good It was true that it was good, so when I answered truthfully, the character Cotton Candy Fox, who was standing by the rear while giving buff, hopped up and down. [Party] Suwon Special City: Excuse me ㅋㅋ [Party] Suwon Special City: Why didn’t I get buffs? fk.. [Party] Suwon Special City: It seems like I’ll fall behind soon [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: you were buffing? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: damn, I didn’t even get a buff, so I thought I was just playing [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ㅋㅋ the buff is only being made for Sleepy-nim~ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: I’m happy with the heal you gave meㅋ [Party] I’m Sleepy: ;; What, was I the only one getting it? It was only then that I realized that only my character was fully surrounded with twinkling effects. [Party] I’m Sleepy: It seems that since I’m a beginner, I didn’t do much damage [Party] I’m Sleepy: Sori Sori I was in the middle of dealing with a crowd of monsters, and while charging a Thunder that’s as useful as a fireball along with chatting, Cotton Candy Fox intervened in consternation. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: No, please!!! [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: It’s not like thatㅠㅠ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: there’s no one else I could use it on, other than Sleepy Oppa [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: That’s why I only buffed Oppa ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Absolutely not meant like that [Party] Suwon Special City: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah, ㅋㅋ you got caught ㅋ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim noticed pretty quicklyㅋㅋ [Party] Suwon Special City: fr ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Let’s go Witcher: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Okeyo fox-nim ㅠ Everyone!! ㅠㅠ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Fortunately, everyone passed it off lightly as a joke. It was at that moment that I was relieved enough to use my skills again. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah What Do You Soy Milk, who was standing stiff, was attacked by a monster and flew backwards. Above the character who collapsed on the floor with all the blood had drained out, the health bar turned black. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Suwon Special City: Hey, why did you die here?;; [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: You’re stupid.. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: No Fk [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Fox-nim Stop sending me messages ㅅf1ck [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: it keeps covering the screen ah ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: I’m really sorry for suddenly dying r [Party] Suwon Special City: ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: ㅋㅋ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ㅉㅉI knew she’d be pissed off haha When I attacked something, Cotton Candy Fox stayed behind me. The tank died, but the number of surviving monsters was small, so we were able to clean it up without any major problems. What Do You Soy Milk, who died alone, expressed emotions in his dead state. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Spare me Fuck ㅠㅠㅠ [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: But hey, that was crazy [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: looks like Fox-nim had to keep buffing [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: You should be busier than us?? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: I heard that fox was no different ㅋㅋ [Party] Suwon Special City: fr why is that bastard the only one receiving? He deserves to dieㅋ [Party] Let's go Witcher: fr did you notice the difference in operation between him and you? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: No, it’s not as easy as you say [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Mental attack’s coming ㅠㅠㅠ You have to deal with this too, you know Fuck Finally, Cotton Candy Fox increased their stamina and mana recovery speed. The buffs received from Cotton Candy Fox reached a great height, and What Do You Soy Milk, who was lying down, continued to chat. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Stop talking and let’s go [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ???? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Guys, I’m still dead here [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ok ok let’s go [Party] Suwon Special City: Normal mode is good [Party] Suwon Special City: Since you’re dead and you don’t have to be a tanker, isn’t it easier for you now? [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Ah you bastards ah [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Tsk—How could you say that to me?? Fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I felt so sorry for What Do You Soymilk, who was heartlessly abandoned after being teased by Cotton Candy Fox. Cotton Candy Fox and the other party members really got themselves together. Sympathetic, I approached What Do You Soy Milk lying on the cold floor and pressed the button. He, who barely survived with my help, said while crying. [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Are you an angel?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Thank you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ [Party] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: ㅠㅠㅠㅠ In return [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Please Have thisㅠ What Do You Soy Milk posted a small soymilk on the trading window. When I hovered the mouse cursor over the item, the information [Creator: What Do You Soy Milk] appeared. [Party] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋthanks.. Anyway, food items had a little bit of a buff effect, so there was nothing bad about receiving them. When I smiled and said thank you, Cotton Candy Fox, who had been away from me, hurriedly rushed to me and clung to me. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa saved you? ㅜㅜ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: You shouldn’t have saved him! Tankers just die really easily! ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: But why say thank you for nothing? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Why are you saying thank you to that guy? ㅋㅋ Phew, that’s noisy. Even though the letters were just floating on the screen, it somehow made my ears hurt. I roughly replied with annoyance. [Party] I’m Sleepy: It’s not a big deal [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Haha [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: Sleepy-nim’s Secret☆Milk with me [Party] Cotton Candy Fox:? [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Suwon Special City: Kill the Master?

8. “Which floors are the men’s clothing stores on?” Seon-woo asked the shopping assistant. “It is on the 3rd and 4th floors. The 3rd floor is for everyday wear, and the 4th floor is for suits.” Seon-woo then turned towards Hyeon-woo and asked. “Is that so? Where should we start?” “Third floor!” “Great. Then let’s go take the elevator? if not…” “Let’s take the escalator.” Hyeon-woo responded quickly. It’s a bit embarrassing, but it’s the first time I’ve been to a place like this. It’s only natural for me to be so excited. He decided to think so. He didn’t really want to buy anything, but it was quite fun to look around. His brother would look good no matter what he wore, so it was worthwhile to see Seon-woo wearing it. “Try wearing this too!” “Unn, Hyung.” Seon-woo quietly picked up his clothes and entered the changing room. Then as if he belatedly remembered something, he stuck his face out through the door. “Are you not going to try out anything?” “I’m fine.” Then, Seon-woo’s eyes drooped. “I’ll try it on!” Hyeon-woo took the clothes Seon-woo had chosen and went into the dressing room next to him. When he came out wearing a light ivory knit, his younger brother, who was wearing the same clothes as his, laughed next to him. “It looks great on you.” “You too.” “Do you want to wear it like this and go?” Seon-woo put his head on Hyeon-woo’s shoulder and whispered. It must have been uncomfortable because of the height difference, but once Seon-woo leaned his head on him, Seon-woo’s height did not come into his mind at all. Hyeon-woo gently stroked Seon-woo’s hair with his hand. “Is that okay?” After Hyeon-woo spoke, Seon-woo replied with a small laugh. “Why are you laughing?” “Because I’m happy.” Seon-woo said so and lifted his head as if he was a bit disappointed. And told the personal shopping assistant. “Give me everything we have worn so far.” Hyeon-woo blankly blinked his eyes. “Everything?” While changing clothes, he glanced at the price tag. It was a frightening price that would have been unimaginable in the past. But now that he had a younger brother who even had a freaking tall building, he might as well get one. That was what he thought, but I shouldn’t do that! Hyeon-woo panicked. “You can’t just do that!” Without realizing it, his voice rose. “Why?” “It’s expensive!” When Hyeon-woo shouted that, the personal shopping assistant’s expression became strange. Seon-woo, one of the best hunters in Korea, was an Awakened, who closed dungeons while traveling around the world. Each time he closed a dungeon, the base income was 2 billion units. Of course, it was not just a few billion. For him, clothes like this wouldn’t even be the price of a snack, but it’s expensive. You really didn’t know anything. ‘What kind of person are you really?’ The personal shopping assistant pressed her fingernails to the back of her hand, keeping her mouth from being itchy in curiosity. “Not expensive.” “Expensive!” Seon-woo corrected his words. “It’s not expensive for me.” “Still don’t buy it.” Hyeon-woo said firmly. It was the money he earned through hard work, so he shouldn’t spend it easily. Hence, he refused, but Seon-woo didn’t seem to know that kind of feeling. There were wrinkles on his forehead. “I can’t buy it?” “That’s right.” Hyeon-woo bit his lip. “It’s your hard-earned money.” Seon-woo’s wrinkles disappeared and the corners of his eyes drooped. “Hyung.” I knew. Although now a dragon can be easily tamed, the road to getting there was not easy. Hyeon-woo, who was young among the First-Generation missing persons, was one of the weakest. All he experienced was poison. But how hard must it have been for Seon-woo who was younger than him? “I’d rather earn money and buy it for you.” “No.” This time, Seon-woo cut it firmly. I want to keep his hands maintained finely without a drop of water, but it will be hard. How could my weak Hyung earn money? “Then I won’t take it either.” Hyeon-woo insisted. “I don’t know, it’s okay to do that though.” Seon-woo insisted on being Seon-woo then. “Send them all to the Seon-Hyeon Guild.” The moment Hyeon-woo, who was bewildered, was about to call Seon-woo’s name, he suddenly hardened his expression. Did I go too hard on him? Hyeon-woo regretted it, and wanted to withdraw his opinion, but he felt an unfamiliar presence from somewhere closeby. The energy of the Awakened who were lined up at a distance felt stronger. He heard a sound from somewhere. Tok Tok. There was only one entrance, and some other people were inside. Seon-woo knew it and said to Hyeon-woo. “Hyung, stay here for a moment.” “Huh? Uh.” Seon-woo got up and went forward. Then he told the personal shopping assistant. “Just leave the bill in front of the Seon-Hyeon Guild.” There was a sudden silence, and the ceiling crumbled down. At the same time, a person fell and Seon-woo quickly moved away. That was when a crouching beast jumped in front of Hyeon-woo’s body. “Wang!” Kero, who had been dozing off in a corner the whole time, stood proudly on four legs and blocked Hyeon-woo in front. Thud! A fierce battle began with a loud noise. The opponent was attacking with evil intentions, but Hyeon-woo wasn’t too worried. It was because Seon-woo was facing him without being pushed back at all. Besides, the guild members of the Seon-Hyeon Guild, who had been guarding the surroundings, were gathering. The moment they got closer, victory or defeat would become certain. At best, nothing would be lost except for the ceiling that was struck on. ‘I don’t think this’s all.’ Looking around calmly, Hyeon-woo felt the movement of another stronger person. As soon as he appeared, he immediately attacked Seon-woo. Seon-woo threw the person he was dealing with and started to fight him. This time, they could not easily gain an edge over each other. ‘Huh? Who is that?’ Hyeon-woo popped his neck loudly. No matter how much power he hid, in this situation, he did not intend to stand still. Just as he was about to get up, he made eye contact with him. Sharp, but the outstretched eyes were somehow familiar. ‘Where?’ Where have I seen those eyes before? He couldn’t think of anything at that moment. Even so, his eyes understood the meaning, and he turned to that side. ‘Who are you?’ Hyeon-woo slowly blinked his eyes. A bittersweet expression appeared in his eyes. It was then that the black dots started to appear on the wall. The dots grew larger and stopped expanding until they reached the size of a human. Then a person walked out of it. ‘Ah, you’re taller than me again.’ He felt angry. He blamed the fairy for not being here again. The man who came out of it smiled. He was not bad looking, but strangely, one eye didn’t look right. He also seemed too cold-hearted. ‘As expected, only Seon-woo is the best looking.’ While he was smiling happily, the man approached Hyeon-woo. “Wang wang!” Kero grew in size and ran towards the man. Then the man grabbed Kero, glanced at him, and threw him away. Of course, that didn’t mean Kero would fall quietly. Kero skillfully kicked the wall with his hind feet and landed properly on the floor. In every way, it was not the ability of an ordinary dog. Kero growled and tried to run towards him again. If only that man hadn’t talked to Hyeon-woo. “Now, would you like to come with me, princess?” Are you crazy? Kero’s fur grew goosebumps, and his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. He even started shaking his body. I’m not next to you for nothing. Kero hid behind the seemingly weakest person, the personal shopping assistant. Even so, Hyeon-woo didn’t want to pretend to lose as if he didn’t have any strength. But he would continue to do so until he met him. I know you won’t die if you get beaten to an extent, so I’m going to beat you up. “What?” Hyeon-woo was amazed. What was this bastard talking about now? Princess? He realized today for the first time that a person’s body stiffens when he or she goes through something absurd. I thought it would be amazing to see who it was since it’s the First-Generation missing person. But all I saw was a small and thin person. I mean, they have been trying their best to protect something like this. Ga-jun smiled and put his leather gloved hand on the body of the First-Generation missing person. There is probably no need to persuade or force him to leave with me, as he has hardened in fear. ‘It’s going to be easy.’ Of course, it was not easy to capture Seon-woo’s attention. Hye-sun, and Do-jin, the leader of the Peace Guild, are cooperating well, which was not expected. Seon-woo did not arrive on time. By the time he arrived, Ga-jun and the body of the First-Generation missing person had already passed through a large black dot, to be exact, the teleporting portal. “Do Ga-jun!” An urgent voice was heard. ‘Wow!’ Ji Seon-woo was always thought to be a nice person by Ji Hyeon-woo. It was the first time he heard him raise his voice like that. The corners of Ga-jun’s lips went up. “Success!” Ga-jun exclaimed in a joyful voice as he stepped out from the portal. Then the Awakened, who was struggling to maintain the portal, took a deep breath and sat down on the spot. It was worthwhile to spend a lot of money to make the teleporter join the guild. Since he had been recently signed up secretly, Ji Seon-woo must have been unaware of it. Had he known it, he would have dealt with it. A burst of laughter erupted. It’s been a long time since I had screwed with Ji Soen-woo. Isn’t this going to be fun? “Well then, the First-Generation missing person.” Ga-jun let go of his small shoulder, he was holding and turned around. And for the first time, he got a closer look at the face of a First-Generation missing person. His pretty face looked as gentle as a deer, but the tear mole under his eyes seemed to give it a strange feeling. But it wasn’t Ga-jun’s taste. He loved a sensual woman with a voluptuous body more than a man with a small body like this. “From now on, I want to know whatever that information is.” Ga-jun wanted to know all the information Seon-woo had dug up from the First-Generation missing person. So, if the mild method doesn’t work, I’m thinking of going violent, to give him a little scare. “How do you like being tortured? Like ripping your nails or scraping your eyes to remove your cornea with a needle?” He said, squinting and tearing his mouth to form a smile. It’s still a cold impression, but if you smile like this, you look even scarier. Is that why? The shoulders of the First-Generation missing person standing in front of him, started to tremble. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: Ah, yabai des nee?

6. It looks like Do Ga-jun is openly picking a fight with Ji Seon-woo, so can she really join in between here…? However, the existence of the First-Generation missing person was also informed to A-yun. “What, what?” (A-yun) As Do Ga-jun was thinking deeply, a woman, who was the same age as Ja-yun, put her buttocks on her desk. It was A-yun, Ja-yun’s younger sister. Although they were not awakened together, she was so smart that she played the role of a brain in the Guild. “A First-Generation missing person has appeared.” (Ja-yun) “A First-Generation missing person? Aren’t they all dead though? Really?” (A-yun) “Yes, but the source of the information is from Do Ga-jun after all.” “Oh, that old man?” “It doesn’t make much difference between me and you.” “Everyone in their late 20s is an old man anyway.” “You are like a small stone on the road compared to him then.” (Idiom: that she is still growing) “Who dares to call me a stone on the road? I’m the younger sister of Ja-yun of the Yoram Guild.” With that said, I can’t be more careful with my words. A-yun was smart, but her weakness was that she sometimes talked really easily. “Anyway, if this happens, are you going to target all the guilds together in one hand?” “I suppose so.” “Let’s see, the 1st one being Seon-Hyeon Guild is Ji Seon-woo’s, so the second place is the Baekho (백호) Guild. Third place is our Guild ‘Yoram’. Then, River Guild of Hye-sun in 4th place. 5th place, who had the 5th place in the Strongest Guilds list? The recent guild rankings have been going up and down. Oh right! Peace Guild. That was very rude of me. Who is the Guild Leader? Let’s see…It seems that there’s not much information about him.” It was a guild that had recently risen in the list, but there was not much information about the Guild Leader of the Peace Guild. He had never took part in a contest to compete for power among the awakened, and he had always sent a representative to the guilds’ meeting. So, she didn’t know what Generation Awakened he was. “Still, it could be either the Second Generation or the Third Generation.” As the generations went up, the power of Hunters grew stronger. As for the guilds that most people have heard of, the guild leaders were usually the Second or Third Generation hunters. “I’ve only seen his face once, but it was gloomy.” His body was curled up and the hoodie was pressed in deeply. She didn’t want to approach him because the clothes also somehow felt dirty. “I think it would be okay if I go with the clothes I am wearing right now. I don’t know why I wear the same clothes every day.” “Is that really alright?” “It’s okay. And if you keep the right posture, you’ll be taller than me.” “More than you?” “Unn.” At those words, Ja-yun was amazed again. It was some words from the person she had just glanced at, but how did she just go along like that? There was no way his sister couldn’t be so lovely. “You looked through the documents correctly, right?” “I looked at it carefully.” A-yun replied with a smile. “Now then, shall we also aim for the First-Generation missing person?” “Although the opponent is Ji Seon-woo, Ga-jun said that we should gather the power from all the guilds together.” “It’s not like there’s no chance of winning after all!” “No matter how big and strong the Seon-Hyeon Guild is, even if Ji Seon-woo is right, it would hard for him to keep that person to himself.” “Several guilds are gathering strength to get the first-generation person, and you can’t pretend that you don’t know at all.” “That’s right!” The two smiled and looked at each other. They were excited about what they could learn about from the First-Generation missing person. *** Sunlight poured in from the large window. But it didn’t feel hot. The air conditioner was working hard inside. As Hyeon-woo lay down on the sofa for a long time in that state, he felt there was no heaven that was like this. “Wang wang!” Kero was also lying on the floor with all four legs stretched out, and occasionally barked a little. He seemed to be in a good mood. After all, the weather in the Demon Realm was shitty, and there were so many things that interfered with a peaceful nap. As he was enjoying the peace of lying down, Seon-woo came over with a cup. “Hyung, please drink this.” The pale scarlet juice looked delicious but had a rather strange presence. ‘Is the juice shining?’ He thought it was because of the sunlight, but it didn’t seem to be that. “I added a little bit of something that’s good for your body.” Seon-woo said shyly and handed the cup to Hyeon-woo. ‘How can he be so kind?’ It was enough for Ji Hyeon-woo that Seon-woo didn’t resent his Hyung for leaving him for a long time. But seeing him do something like this made his heart flutter. I guess I should do something for him too. As soon as Hyeon-woo thought that, Seon-woo opened his mouth as if he had read his mind. “I am happy just to have you by my side. So, you don’t have to do anything in return.” “Seon-woo.” In the end, Hyeon-woo, who was struggling with waves of emotion, hugged Seon-woo tightly. He had a habit of taking care of Seon-woo when he was young, and Seon-woo had really liked his Hyung hugging him. “Hyung.” Seon-woo embraced his Hyung. The relationship between the two of them who had met after a long time burst out like a light explosion. Kerberos looked at them with white eyes. I don’t want to see it, but as this comes into my eyes from time to time, I can’t help but look at it. No, why does that person hug him so often? It was a feeling that was not understood by Kerberos, who had no brothers. “Didn’t he say that you were a Guild Leader? Even if you don’t work, are you really allowed to stay here and be lazy?” With him saying that, he already searched for information on the phone that Seon-woo gave him. Apparently, Seon-woo’s guild was one of the largest guilds in Korea, and it was like a big management company, which meant that it was an important place. “I decided to take a few days off. Because I’ve been running around all this time.” “Well! When you take a break, you should rest.” Kerberos now began to gnaw the table legs with his teeth in disinterest. Naturally, Hyeon-woo kept speaking to Seon-woo and commended him, ignoring Kerberos. “Would you like to lie down here too?” The sofa was so big that it seemed like it could be enough for the both of them to lie down. “Is that really, okay?” “Of course.” Hyeon-woo laid down again, and Seon-woo laid right next to him. Seon-woo was bigger and part of his large body protruded out of the sofa, but no one pointed it out. Even so, Hyeon-woo was afraid that his brother would fall, so he wrapped his arms around Seon-woo’s waist. Bit Bit. The sound of Kerberos gnawing at the legs of the table grew louder. But the two didn’t seem to hear that either. I’m going to go crazy. Kerberos sighed, and leaned back against the leg of the table he had been gnawing at. Hyeon-woo quickly fell asleep due to his tiredness. Seon-woo looked at his Hyung quietly. He knew Hyeon-woo seemed to be sleeping well now, but in reality, he hadn’t gotten any deep sleep all this time. He understood that as he too was taken to another world, and was abused by a fairy, who kept giving him challenges. Even so, Seon-woo couldn’t sleep properly every day. He would stay up all night with his eyes open because of the demons and the people who went crazy. Was it because of that? Even after returning to Earth, he couldn’t sleep properly for a long time. Because of that, he felt sorry for his Hyung, who closed his eyes and had a pale complexion. How hard was it to be alone all that time? Seon-woo hugged his Hyung with his eyes closed. Now I will never leave my brother. I will protect my brother. Now that I have the strength and the ability to do so. With that, he laughed wildly. ‘Do Ga-jun, you fucking bastard.’ Rumors circulated that the First-Generation missing person had returned among the guilds. From the result of digging, the source of the rumors was most likely the Do Ga-jun of Baekho Guild. He was also a Second-Generation Awakened like Seon-woo. The two, who had been fighting each other when they were in the other world, had a bad relationship even when they returned to the real world. ‘I guess I have to give a scratch to that eyeball.’ How dare you aim for my Hyung? How did they know the information? But it couldn’t easily be passed on to others. I didn’t want to make it hard for my brother. Now is the time to respond to them. While thinking, Seon-woo’s expression turned cold. But after a while, his expression relaxed again. But for now, it is time to focus on my Hyung, who is here. Seon-woo closed his eyes like his Hyung. *** As time passed, the pressure applied on the Seon-Hyeon Guild did not decrease at all. Even if it was the No. 1 Guild, it was not easy to hold on due to the other guilds gathering and joining forces. The person who felt it the most was Chan-young, the Deputy Guild Leader. Chan-young, who was dealing with all the things that the Guild Leader, Seon-woo put off, grinned at the news coming from all over the place. “This is crazy!” I know that something will change when the guilds gather. I don’t know what the fuss is about though. Is it about that First-Generation missing person? Guild Leader, Seon-woo had been delaying his work for several days, and other guilds were arguing with the Seon-Hyeon Guild to share the missing person with them. Fortunately, the Hunter Administration took a step back and only looked at it, without saying a single word. I wanted to throw the First-Generation missing person. But I can’t. No matter how weak and useless they appear; they are still the family of the guild leader. The family of the guild leader, who ranks first in the ranks of Korea. Even if I didn’t like it, I couldn’t let it be taken by others. It is also related to the authority of the Guild Leader. Chan-young closed his lips and spoke with a firm voice to the staff at the meeting. “We can never turn over the First-Generation missing person. Stay seated no matter what the other guilds say. This is also related to the status of the Seon-Hyeon Guild. Anyone who recklessly leaks information or agrees to the other guilds will be severely punished.” Although he seemed to have a commanding personality, it was because he spent several years under Ji Seon-woo. As experience slowly changes a person, Chan-young became more suited to be the Deputy Guild Leader of the Seon-Hyeon Guild than anyone else. 「Your offer is not accepted.」 Do Ga-Jun turned over the envelope that had arrived from the Seon-Hyeon Guild. But nothing was found except the paper, on which that one sentence was written. “Was Seo Chan-young the one who sent it?” That was the Deputy Guild Leader of the Seon-Hyeon Guild. Ji Seon-woo was a bastard who wouldn’t use his four legs. (Idiom meaning that he doesn’t do the work himself.) “Hey, what letter is this one?” “This is the third one!” A subordinate, who was standing next to Do Ga-jun answered, standing still with his strength. “Yes. Third one. How many proposals did we put in?” “Five.” “You mean that they didn’t even reply to those?” “......Yes.” The subordinate, who was standing next to him, noticed his stare, said while looking at him. Do Ga-jun took a deep breath. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: the guild rank list is revealed. You can go check it in the character profile.

4. It was Hyung’s fault, as he had abandoned his young brother and disappeared. Seon-woo instinctively chose the words that could most provoke his brother’s guilt. “It’s okay.” As he said that, tears welled up again in his Hyung’s eyes. “What do you mean it's okay?” Hyeon-woo was taken to the Demon Realm and lived there, but he knew roughly what was going on Earth. That damn fairy sometimes gave him the news. I should have threatened the fairy a little more. During the flood of monsters and the world changing, that child was left alone with no one to depend on. It must have been very difficult. But, it’s okay? Seon-woo’s lie made Hyeon-woo feel even worse. “No, I was really fine. Although it was very difficult and very painful.” Seon-woo spoke to his Hyung in a low voice. Hyeon-woo’s guess was not wrong. Seon-woo had a hard life until he was awakened. Even after awakening, he persevered in a place where there was no one to trust and took his current position. Still, he said in front of him, saying that he was fine. “Because I believed my Hyung would come back.” That calm voice made Hyeon-woo even more distressed. “Look, you’re finally back.” Hyeon-woo collapsed. Came back…did that happen? He didn’t know why his younger brother was still so kind. Seeing his younger brother speaking kind words to a person who he had resented so much, it became clear what he had to do in the future. I will protect you. So that no one can harm you. The moment Hyeon-woo was about to put out what he was thinking, Seon-woo spoke his words first. “So, I’l protect Hyung from now on.” Yes, you now protect your Hyung. Huh? Hyeon-woo did not cry but raised his head and blinked at Seon-woo as if he seemed to have heard something strange. “Because my Hyung protected me in the past. So now, it’s my turn to protect you.” No, I’m much stronger than you think. You cannot protect me…I know I look so weak now but… Hyeon-woo made an embarrassed expression. I don’t know the standards of power on Earth, but at least I’m strong enough to compete with the No. 1 in the Demon Realm. I don’t know why you would say that. “Kking.” Kerberos, who had been watching Hyeon-woo and Seon-woo’s meeting the whole time, could not bear it and made a sound. Hey human, maybe not be able to protect him, you know. That person in front of you even had a fight with Albergo, who is the number one in the demon realm. It was also said that no ordinary human can defeat Hyeon-woo. “Wang wang.” Kerberos stepped forward to make the stupid human aware of reality, but Hyeon-woo pressed his head down. ‘Shut up and stay still.’ At the intense intention that was conveyed, Kerberos became quiet again. Hyeon-woo thought. Yes, if that’s what Seon-woo wants. I will do everything he wants. I was tired of living with all my strength anyway. After the death of his parents, he has been running diligently for his younger brother, but his true nature was to be lazy. He wanted to rest after all the crazy things that happened to him. “Yes. Please protect me.” I can’t do anything if you want to protect me. Seon-woo smiled brightly at Hyeon-woo’s words. It was a smile like the sunshine. “Yeah, Hyung.” Then, Hyeon-woo, who was kneeling on the floor, stood up at once and hugged him. It wasn’t a hug of disgrace, though it felt awkward to the others who were watching. The moment he saw it, Kerberos, covered his head with his adorable feet and looked down. But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. No, something did happen. Seon-woo was walking away in the distance, while carrying Hyeon-woo in his hands. “Waang!” I have to follow him! Kerberos ran out hastily. And the remaining hunters and Moo-hyuk were still standing there in their same spot. “Can I go then?” Hyeon-woo barely opened his mouth after remaining silent for a long time. “What if I don’t let you go out?” Moo-hyuk replied. Actually, he didn’t intend to let him go, but the tears of the two of them made him think a lot. His body didn’t move the way he wanted. He patted his clothes to shake off the dust and turned around. He had lost this one and only first-generation missing person to Seon-woo, so he had to follow up on all the information he could get from him. It would be better to let the once long-distance brothers reunite. Moo-hyuk thought so. Hyeon-woo was willing to do whatever his brother wanted. He made up his mind to do so, but this was still not the case. Hyeon-woo still has a clear childhood memory. It took some time to match the strong tall man, who appeared before him with his younger brother he saw back then. That was why the first thing that came to his mind now was his younger brother, who was weak and fragile. It felt as though he was putting his brother through too much. “Am I not heavy though?” “Not at all.” Seon-woo said firmly. It was true that his Hyung was too small and skinny. How much trouble did he go through to survive with a body like this? His throat was suffocated by these thoughts. “You’re not heavy at all.” Then, he gave strength to the arm that was holding Hyeon-woo. Hyeon-woo took some power from his body to make it more comfortable. Let’s trust my brother for now. It was with this thought, he chose to stay in that position. “My Hyung is too skinny.” Can you not see properly? It was true that the food of the demon world did not suit my taste, so I ate the least. Still, it’s a pretty muscular body. “He’s too small though.” (Moo-hyuk) I can put up with him saying I am skinny, but I can’t stand it if you say I’m small. “It’s not like that.” (Seon-woo) I’m over 175cm, but I can’t believe that’s considered still small. To be precise, it wasn’t that he was small, but Seon-woo was the one, who was big. “You are too big.” (Hyeon-woo) My little and cute little brother has really grown up a lot. “The higher the level of the Awakened, the better his physical appearance. Naturally, he grows taller too and has a stronger body. Hyung, I am an S-class Awakened.” What? Hyeon-woo widened his eyes. This time he was really surprised. Wasn’t this saying that the stronger the body, the bigger the body grows? Then, what’s wrong with me? His body trembled with anger. ‘You bastard! Fairy bastard!’ There were so many things he wanted to ask the fairy. But the problem was that there were no fairies here. It was said that fairies meddle like crazy in other worlds, but they couldn’t come out in the human world, so as to maintain the balance in the world. ‘I should have exploded earlier.’ In the midst of trembling from anger, Seon-woo was misunderstood. His Hyung, who was bigger than him and always looked strong, was now smaller and weaker than him. Even his body was trembling right now. Hyeon-woo felt strange about being in a completely different position from before. Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t like him or something else. No matter how much he changed, he was still Seon-woo’s favorite person, and he was the only one in the family. As expected, Hyeon-woo must protect him too. It wasn’t until that moment when the thought became firmer. Seon-woo passed through a broken-down building and came out. Suddenly, the bright sun was rising in the sky, and a pleasant warm wind blew. Seeing the environment that was completely different from the Demon Realm, what Hyeon-woo had been thinking about the whole time came to mind. ‘You’re back.’ Yeah, I really came back. Hyeon-woo wanted to cry. “Now put me down.” Hyeon-woo wanted to enjoy the environment of the earth a little more. As if he knew that, Seon-woo lowered him on the floor. The breath he inhales felt sweet. It was completely different from the stinging atmosphere of the demon realm. Come to think of it, fifteen was not that old. So, Hyeon-woo was the youngest among those who were taken away. ‘Now that I’m out of that fucking place...’ Hyeon-woo raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly. I don’t know how long it’s been since I smiled properly. And then, a stranger’s voice was heard. “Guild Leader.” A tall, slender man approached those two. Dressed in a racing suit that clings to his body, he ruffles his curly light brown hair with his hands. Then, he spoke to Seon-woo again. “Oh my…Are you done already?” He looked towards Hyeon-woo this time. “Is he the first-generation returnee?” His gaze was on Hyeon-woo, but his words were on Seon-woo. It was an act of completely ignoring Hyeon-woo. Seon-woo’s hand naturally went up and grabbed his curly hair without mercy. Bbak! It sounded like he was going to be attacked. “Damn! My head!” The man hesitated in his place and looked down, touching his head, which was grabbed on. “He is my Hyung. Mind your manners.” As soon as the words came out, the man raised his head. “Yeah?” “Do I have to say it twice to understand?” Seon-woo raised his hand again. Then, the man threw out both hands and said. “No, no. I understood.” Then, he blatantly glanced at Hyeon-woo. “You look weak.” Power went into his fist. But before Hyeon-woo could do anything, a bundle of black fur jumped out from behind and hit the man. It was like a cannonball. “Ack! What is this furball!” It was a small puppy, the size of two palms. But in reality, it was Kerberos, a famous beast in the Demon Realm. Hyeon-woo’s forehead twitches as he sees Kero hit him with determination. “Wang wang!” Kerberos punished the rude person and stretched his chest out. Look, Hyeon-woo. I punished a rude man! When Hyeon-woo got angry, his surroundings became destroyed, but this rude person didn’t seem to know that. He probably didn’t want to be tied up and beaten up by him. “What’s that?” Looking at Kerberos, Seon-woo asked. “Ah, Kero?” In fact, it could not be told to Seon-woo that Kerberos was a demonic beast from the Demon Realm. He didn’t want to lie either. He decided to reveal only the parts that he could reveal. “It’s a puppy.” “Puppy? It doesn’t seem like an ordinary dog though?” “That’s fine. But if you tame it well, it’ll be fine.” He had been taming it with his fists all the time, but he didn’t stop the attack as he felt like it. “But who is this guy?” “Deputy Guild Leader.” “Hello, my name is Seo Chan-young. I am the Deputy head of the Seon-Hyeon Guild.” The greeting was polite, but that was it. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: Kero is the true masterpiece of this story.

3. “Uh, uhhak!” “It’s just an arm, isn’t it?” It’s just an arm. You say. Only one drop of water had passed through one of the hunter’s arms, but he was rattling as if it would fall right away. He swallowed a scream and grabbed his arm. Terrible pain followed, but if he didn’t grab onto his arm, he felt like his arm would fall off at any moment. ‘This is getting boring.’ Seon-woo split the water droplets into smaller pieces and lowered the temperature. He didn’t even notice the condition of the other hunters around him right now. He just wanted to quickly meet the person, who was in the interrogation room as soon as possible. For the outside world, it was reported that the portal had opened after the second generation of missing persons returned, however this was not true. The portal has existed since the first-generation people went missing. So, the first portal was created when the first generation of missing persons disappeared. The portal did not spit out any monsters. However, no one could go in. While the government was researching the first portal, the second generation of missing people appeared, returning through a new portal. After that, a large number of portals were created, but vomited monsters instead of people. Naturally occurring people, who were awakened, began to appear. Even after that point of time, the purpose of the first portal was still unknown. As soon as Seon-woo found out about the first portal, he planted a person in the Hunter Administration. They began to spy on the first portal that the government had been hiding. He was anxious that his missing Hyung would come back by chance. Or even a person who knew him might show up. Seon-woo waited 10 years like that. But today, new information arrived. A person had come out of that portal. As soon as he heard the news, Seon-woo headed to the Hunter Administration without hesitation. Seon-woo was only eleven years old when his Hyung passed away. Growing up without his parents, his Hyung was his only family. But his Hyung disappeared overnight. At first, he couldn’t believe it. He didn’t want to believe it. So, he went looking for his Hyung. Even when he went to an orphanage. Even when he was taken to the Demon Realm. Even when he came back, and established a guild, he still continued. He kept going till he could find him again. He was desperate and searched for him endlessly. And now, even after a long time, he still had hope. “Well, if you don’t want to talk, don’t.” He should just torture them all and go find him, without any hindrance. He did not consider any protests that would come later from the Hunter Administration. The drops of water that had stayed on his hand split into dozens, then hundreds and hovered over the air. It looked beautiful on the outside, but it would not be so in the end. “I-I will tell you everything.” But it was already too late. Seon-woo looked at them with a bored expression. He must find his Hyung quickly, but he has wasted his precious time because of these bastards. So, he thought of shortening the time now. The tension grew. And at that moment, the wall opposite to him burst and Moo-hyuk arrived. “When are you going to stop?” “What if I don’t want to stop?” “We will respond back by force.” Spark. A flame began to burn in Moo-hyuk’s hand. The two had a bad relationship. He dealt with fire, an opposing element to Seon-woo. Was it because of that? But, how come he ran into Moo-hyuk right now? As water from one side clashed with the fire from the other that began to burn even brighter, the complexion of the hunters of the Hunter Administration in the middle only turned white. Apparently, today was Memorial Day for the 1st generation missing people. “Wait for a minute.” Moo-hyuk pushed Hyeon-woo into another room and closed the door. ‘Something seems to have happened.’ Hyeon-woo tapped his chin with his finger and put his hand on the door. He remained quiet and didn’t leave as he was provided something to eat, but his reason to leave this place slowly returned when he was full. Was he really needed to be tied up here? The answer was no. ‘I have to find my brother too.’ Bang! As soon as Hyeon-woo slapped his hand on the door lightly, the thick iron gate fell apart. ‘That was easy enough.’ Hyeon-woo shook his hand a little and headed to the place where the commotion was occurring. He was only going to check what was going on before he left this place. Behind him, Kerberos followed eagerly, panting. It bothered him. When Hyeon-woo grabbed him by the nape, he barked at him. “Wang wang!” “Yes, yes.” Hyeon-woo walked out of the hallway. It wasn’t difficult for him to find the room he had come from. Because the only thing Moo-hyuk did was run in a straight line while holding Hyeon-woo. When he looked inside through the open wall, he said some words, as if exclaiming. “This is bullshit.” The two tall men and the hunters who were facing each other, looked back at the direction of the voice at once. The tall man was the Moo-hyuk I had met earlier, and the other? I don’t know. I don’t know, but he’s strangely familiar. It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen him though. So, Hyeon-woo asked straightforwardly. “Who are you?” At the same time, all the water floating in the air fell to the floor. Then, the familiar man started walking slowly towards Hyeon-woo. ‘Damn, your face looks really handsome.’ If Moo-hyuk had a warm-hearted manly appearance, then the other man was more like a beautiful doll. But that didn’t mean he was feminine. He was tall and had a pretty solid body. ‘But he’s really familiar.’ Since Moo-hyuk said he was 25 years old earlier, it seems like 10 years had passed in Earth’s time. Then, that man was a person who knew his face. ‘I don’t know.’ Hyeon-woo blinked slowly as he looked at the man approaching him. His eyes were stinging. If he behaved in his usual temper, he would have poked his eyeballs earlier, asking where he got his eyes colored like that. But he strangely did not want to do that to this man. “Ji Hyeon-woo.” The man knelt in front of Hyeon-woo. The floor was dirty and messy, but he didn’t seem to care at all. “How do you know my name?” “There’s no way I wouldn’t know.” The man rolled his eyes and smiled. Then, immediately, tears began to fall from his eyes. The sight of a crying beauty was so intense, that Hyeon-woo unconsciously stretched out his hand and wiped away his tears. “You are still kind too.” Do you think I am kind? It was a creepy thing to say to Hyeon-woo. Kerberos, still held by the nape of his neck, could feel his body trembling. “So–” Who are you? Just as Hyeon-woo was about to ask that question again, the man carefully grabbed his hand that had wiped his tears away and said. “Hyung.” Hearing that friendly voice calling him, he remembered a little boy from 10 years ago. “Ji Seon-woo?” ‘My soft, lovely little brother.’ “Yes.” The man was Ji Seon-woo. 10 years had gone by in Earth time. Decades had gone by in Demon Realm time. But Hyeon-woo has never cried through that period of time. He left his little brother on Earth but would only clench his teeth even when his heart broke. He told himself he would somehow return to Earth alive. Until then, as he endured, and never cried, his emotions gradually died out. Even if his leg was broken or his arm was torn off, he could fight with a smile. But now he’s back. His eyes were blurred with tears. It was so blurry that he couldn’t see anything clearly. This shouldn’t be the case. He had to look at Seon-woo properly. Hyeon-woo wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. It looked like his eyes were broken. Tears didn’t stop flowing. “Seon-woo, are you really Seon-woo?” “Unn.” Tears burst out again at the answer. “Why, why are you crying?” This time, Seon-woo wiped Hyeon-woo’s eyes. It was a man’s hand that he thought big before, but now it felt different. Seon-woo was still his only little brother. Hyeon-woo placed his hand over the hand that wiped his tears. Kerberos, who he had been holding in his hand the whole time, had long since fallen to the floor. Fortunately, Kerberos landed properly on the ground with his legs, but opened his eyes wide. Oh my god! That madman is crying! Kerberos thought Hyeon-woo was a human without blood or tears. Kerberos put his small ass on the floor and looked up at Hyeon-woo, who was spilling in tears. It wasn’t just Kerberos, who was suspicious. The Hunters and Moo-hyuk, who were in the same space, were also looking at Seon-woo, with suspicion in their eyes. Oh my god! That Ji Seon-woo is on his knees and crying! Could it be that the person is not actually Ji Seon-woo? Or was it all just an illusion now? “Huh?” Moo-hyuk even tried to injure his own hand. However, the situation in front of him did not change. Seon-woo was still on his knees crying non-stop. Hyeon-woo shed tears for a while, then knelt on the floor like Seon-woo. “Hyung?” “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, Seon-woo.” Seon-woo’s heart grew cold at Hyeon-woo’s apologetic words. He doesn’t understand why his Hyung was apologizing. A cold wind blew through his heart, thinking only of his Hyung the whole time. Maybe, Hyung didn’t want to be with him? “Why–” Why are you apologizing? At the moment Seon-woo was about to continue his question, Hyeon-woo continued. “I said I would be by your side.” He couldn’t. How did his younger brother, who was only 11 years old, grow up in this harsh world? On the day his parents died, he made a promise to protect this delicate being from all the scars of the world, but then left him alone for 10 years. “I’m sorry I broke my promise.” Even if Seon-woo couldn’t forgive him, he wouldn’t be able to refute anything back. You’re still kind. That was an exaggeration. After hearing Hyeon-woo’s words, Seon-woo was relieved. While they were apart, he had been thinking of Seon-woo too. He hasn’t forgotten him, and he felt guilty of himself as the years passed. While he was struggling with the waves of his emotions that were flowing out from meeting his Hyung, he was confident in his calculations. It definitely wasn’t Hyeon-woo’s fault. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: Kero was like oh my god from Hyeon-woo’s side and the hunters were like oh my god from Seon-woo’s side. Even after 50 chapters, Hyeon-woo’s powers are not revealed to Seon-woo. Ugh. It’s a sweet moment between Seon-woo and Hyeon-woo though.

1. Ji Seon-woo. The world’s strongest man who was called the hero of the century! The Second-Generation Returnee! When the first 10,000 people disappeared, their disappearance was not greatly known as they were so few compared to the entire population. However, after more than 100,000 people disappeared, the problem began to be visible. And by the time this problem was noticed, the portals started to open. From these portals that connected with the other world, mythical monsters poured out. At first, people were trying to defeat them with an Army. However, guns did not work against the monsters who had biological shields. Even with stronger weapons that were now being deployed more often to try to defeat the monsters, it was all but useless. Even the nuke(nuclear weapon), which was considered a last resort, did not work. Much of humanity died disastrously, and those who appeared just on time were the Second-Generation Returnees! They were a group of Awakened. As soon as they returned, they used their awakened abilities to kill monsters. And the one who stood out the most among them was Ji Seon-woo! With a kind heart and excellent skills, he was worthy of the name ‘Hero’. But there was a torment in him. “Light it.” It was that he had lost his one and only brother before his own disappearance. Ji Seon-woo, who had been living without his parents, had only one person to call family left to support him. But now he was not there anymore. The camera mirrored Ji Seon-woo, who was holding a white chrysanthemum in front of the tomb. When a sad look came over his face, the people around him uttered a sigh without knowing it. He was such an attractive man but to have such a sad expression… “Do you still miss your brother?” PD(Producer Director) asked, and Ji Seon-woo answered in a sad voice. “Yes, I miss him.” It was said in a heart-throbbing voice. “What kind of person was your brother?” “He was sincere and kind.” On saying that, Ji Seon-woo smiled bitterly. “He was a good man.” “Yes. If he was alive, he would have been a better hero than me.” Everyone sighed sadly at the words. At the same time, some place in the Demon Realm. A man felt his ears were itchy and exclaimed. (In Korea, if your ear is itchy, it means that someone is talking behindyour back.) “Fuck, who’s swearing at me!” It was Ji Seon-woo’s only big brother, Ji Hyeon-woo, who was thought to have died on Earth. He put his hand up and slammed the back of the monster, which was squatting right next to him. Bbak! With a loud sound, the scream of the monster in pain followed. “Khwaang!” He shook his head immediately and rubbed his back, but the man, who hit him, did not even nod. “Is it you?” The monster, Balrog, shook his head, left and right desperately. Bbak. Then this time, his hand turned to the other side. Kerberos, who was acting as a chair and was in a doze, screamed like a second ringtone. “Khe-kHe-Kheng!” “Is it you?” “Woof woof!” Kerberos shook his head desperately. “If not, then…” Ji Hyeon-woo’s gaze turned to the air, where there was nothing. “Is it you?” As soon as his words were finished, the air swayed a bit and a little fairy appeared. “Oh, I’m not. I’m innocent.” “I’m tired of being here alone. Is there anyone else here who can curse me besides you?” “Why would I curse my one and only master?” “Is that all you have to say to my face?” “Please speak softly.” “What did I do to be sworn at?” “You’re like a cursing old lady, aren’t you?” The fairy murmured. “Who’s the old lady? Who?” Ji Hyeon-woo did not touch the fairy even though the grumbling fairy was in front of him. Because he knew what kind of a fairy she was. That fairy had dragged and killed many Earthlings in the Demon Realm. Ji Hyeon-woo wondered just how many people were killed. The fairy had said in her own words that it was all for the sake of the planet, but it was difficult to agree when he thought about the faces of the people who died. “It was just a failure in adjusting the difficulty. Thanks to the success in properly adjusting the difficulty in the second and third time, many people returned alive. Now, they will save earth.” “Then, what about those who were taken away who didn’t know what to do and died and became manure for the Demon Realm?” “I couldn’t help it. It was just unlucky. Isn’t that quite common?” “Yeah, that is unlucky.” Ji Hyeon-woo snatched the fairy who was making noises in the air. He kept it alive because it was a life-related problem, but today, somehow, he felt terribly angry. He felt like he didn’t want to let go of the fairy. “Hahaha, sir?” The fairy, held tight in his grasp, looked perplexed. “Hey, you can’t do this!” “Okay!” Gradually, strength entered his grasp. The fairy struggled to get out, but it seemed like she would become a dust of crumbles in the palm of his hand at this rate. “I have good news! There’s great news for you!” The fairy desperately squeezed out her voice. However, Ji Hyeon-woo did not withdraw any strength from his hand. He could never believe the fairy’s words. “Can return! Return!” The fairy hit his hand with a small fist and exclaimed hurriedly. Then, his hand lost some strength. Of course, Ji Hyeon-woo didn’t lose his grip enough to let the fairy escape. “Return who?” “You are able to return!” “Where?” “To earth. Earth!” “Really?” “I swear everything on my master’s name.” It was then that his hand completely gave way. The fairy fell to the floor and rolled over, barely standing upright with her body. He was surprised by the fairy’s answer. “Can I really go back?” Ji Hyeon-woo quietly looked down at the floor. He remembered the long days of suffering and being dragged to the Demon Realm. During that time, there was only one thing that he had kept trying not to forget. One family. His dear little brother. Ji Seon-woo. They were each other’s only family, losing their parents at such a young age and then among relatives hungry for their fortune. He was his small, cute little brother, who always laughed and said that he liked his older brother the best. Ji Seon-woo had a hard life, being only looked after by his older brother. Even after Ji Hyeon-woo was brought to this fucking place and suffered, he never forgot him. How could he forget? “Are you going back?” Ji Hyeon-woo looked at the fairy with red eyes. A lot of time had passed since he came to the underworld. Too much time had gone by. What would have happened to his younger brother by now? Was he still alive? He wasn’t sure of anything, yet he wanted to go back. ‘I miss you.’ He missed him. Ji Hyeon-woo replied with that longing. “I’m going back.” As soon as the words came out, the fairy laughed, tearing her mouth open. “I knew you would say that!” A black dot appeared right in front of him, and it gradually increased in size. It was a portal to another place. Was this really the way to Earth? Although Ji Hyeon-woo was suspicious of the portal, he could not turn away from it. He might see his brother, so he couldn’t turn away. “Krrug!” Seeing the portal, Balrog panicked and stepped back. “Krug!” The fairy told Balrog that Hyeon-woo was to stay by his side no matter what he did and to let him know everything, but time was running out. Damn it! That Fairy! Balrog shouted inwardly and hastily called his master. It was Albert, his master and the number one rank in the Demon Realm! In the meantime, Hyeon-woo was just thinking about what to do when he got back to Earth. But it was already late. Hyeon-woo was stepping into the portal. No! Balrog grabbed Kerberos with a quick look and threw him behind Hyeon-woo. “Krung krung!” Why me? Kerberos fell into the air and fell towards Hyeon-woo’s back. Then Hyeon-woo reached out and grabbed Kerberos’ neck, and the portal that swallowed them both closed. “Eh? Kerberos? That’s unexpected.” The fairy puffed her cheeks and looked at Balrog. “Keeing keeing?” Balrog desperately pretended to look elsewhere, trying to avoid the fairy’s gaze. Hyeon-woo handled the fairy like a fly, but she(the fairy) was a disaster for others. So, it was natural for Balrog to do this. And then, the owner of Balrog arrived. The most powerful in the Demon Realm, Albert! He was a handsome man with long black hair hanging down to a height of 2 meters. His dark eyes looked around him. “Where’s Hyeon-woo?” “He went back to where he came from.” “This is the only place he has. He has nowhere else to go.” “No. He must return to Earth. Don’t you know that?” The fairy pulled out her glasses and handed over some documents that appeared out of nowhere. “Although we borrowed the Demon Realm as a training ground for Earthlings, the first rental period has just ended. At first, I didn’t know what it was, and it took a long time. That’s why Ji Hyeon-woo stayed in the Demon Realm longer than expected.” “...I know.” “Then, why did you ask that?” “I don’t like the idea of Hyeon-woo going back.” “He has already gone back.” “I’ll bring him back.” “No. Have you forgotten the oath of the Earthlings?” “It’s not over. What’s going to happen anyway?” But it doesn’t work that way! The fairy let out a deep sigh. The Demon King of the Demon Realm was such a reckless person. However, one thing that couldn’t be ignored was that his fighting power was incredibly terrifying, but he was nimble compared to what he looked like. So, she had to calm down if she didn’t want to be caught again like how she was by Hyeon-woo. The fairy was determined and looked at Albert. Now was the time for persuasion! “Ughek.” After Hyeon-woo went through the long black portal, his heart felt a burning sensation. How long had it been since he felt this sensation of excitement? The feeling he never felt even when he was working with Albert. Hyeon-woo looked up, wiping away the cold sweat from his forehead. “Where’s this place?” The place was surrounded by metal walls everywhere, so he couldn’t tell where he was. Was this some sort of factory? Hyeon-woo staggered and walked out, stroking the wall. Where was the door? As he was looking for the door, he felt a gaze from somewhere. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: I had to proofread this chapter cuz there were so many mistakes.

5. ‘Gosh, no. Let’s be patient.’ Even if you turn off the game, that bastard will turn it off too. So, why should I turn it off? That bastard was the one who did the wrong thing. So, why should I run away? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Why is there no answer? [Guild] Let’s do this: I think I’m going to throw up.. With my trembling hands, I barely removed the mouse from the game end button. I forced a smile and started chatting. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Why am I [Guild] I’m Sleepy: your Hyung...? ha; [Guild] Yoo Chae: You’re 24 years old [Guild] Yoo Chae: I’m 23 years old [Guild] Yoo Chae: So, of course, I should call you Hyung. What? 23 years old? He’s one year younger than me…… I forcefully swallowed my sudden old-fashioned thoughts. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I don’t think we’re close enough to have you call me Hyung ^^; [Guild] Yoo Chae: So, from now on, I’m going to get closer to you [Guild] Yoo Chae: Where are you? Please join my party [Guild] Bright Clouds: What is this? Am I watching a drama, not a game? [Guild] Manaolingnam: ♡ Gilma and newbie ♡ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: What… fk [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Please stop calling me that [Guild] Yoo Chae: I have to get close to you so I can call you Hyung then [Guild] Yoo Chae: You need to tell me where you are, so that we can get to know each other well [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m just going hunting anyway, so don’t worry about it; [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hunting? Where? [Guild] Yoo Chae: There are only a few places worth going to, at level 200 [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hell Swamp? Are you hunting already? Where are you at? [Guild] Yoo Chae: I’ll go with you, I’ll catch them all, I’ll give you the experience points [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Kya, crazy [Guild] Bright Clouds: Please do not chat here, but rather use whisper for 2-minute conversations; [Guild] Manaolingnam: ♡ Zenoris Garden ♡ [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Ukㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Well, this is one heck of a thing. After I watched the guild teasing Yoo Chae and me in the chat, I could only laugh out loud. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: No need I don’t know why he kept making a fuss about going with me. Firstly, using a quick move, I left Pherocco Island and headed for the central city. I need to finish the collection quest for 50 red poisonous crayfish. I should finish the quest quickly. Today, I planned to level up at least to lvl 205. As I was sorting out the quests, the guild chat lit up again. [Guild] Yoo Chae: I really want to go with you Ah, it’s really annoying. After I gave the NPC my weapon for repairs, I replied indifferently to the chat. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Just call me whatever you want [Guild] I’m Sleepy: I’m leaving the guild in a week anyway This time, there was no response as to whether he had seen the words or not. I’m a little comfortable now. [Guild] I’m getting lazy: But Gilma and newbie, are you originally acquainted with each other or something? [Guild] I’m getting lazy: You look friendly to each other, I agree too ㅇㅅㅇ; [Guild] Let’s do this: Nahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Let’s do this: It just happens ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: Yesterday, the two of them filmed an epic steamy narrative that can even make the drama writers cryㅋ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: How far did it go?? 〈System〉 Drink some water is logged in. [Guild] Bright Clouds: The pun is ridiculous, but now I’m getting curious... [Guild] Let’s do this: Water-nim hi hi [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Water-nim heh2 [Guild] Manaolingnam: Roughly tell me what you guys saw [Guild] Harn: It can’t be explained in words fr… you’ll have to see it for yourself [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: agreed, I should have made a video of what happened [Guild] Drink some water: hi hi [Guild] Drink some water: So, what’s the answer? [Guild] Yoo Chae: We know each other In the exciting atmosphere among themselves, he dared to ignore my chat and reply to Drink some water. As I didn’t want to add cold water to the atmosphere of excitement, I tried to ignore it. However, in the end, I couldn’t stand it and replied to somehow stop the unreal rumors from escalating. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: What... we don’t know each other; [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Yes.. that’s right haha; [Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ “Fuck…………” I really hate this guild. Just bear with all this for a week, and then I will leave without looking back. [Guild] Bright Clouds: Water-nim [Guild] I’ll take care of you: Is there anyone here who would buy a lvl 5 glove from me? [Guild] I’ll take care of you: I’m selling it cheaply because of an emergency ㅠ [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: I want three [Guild] Bright Clouds: Don’t you have Water-nim with you?? [Guild] Drink some water: Oh sorry, wait, why do you need me? [Guild] Drink some water: Why? [Guild] Bright Clouds: I’m going to give back you the robe you lent me back then [Guild] Bright Clouds: Where are you at? [Guild] Drink some water. Ah, wait for a while... [Guild] Drink some water: I’ll be there in a second After repairing the weapon, I also fully stocked my potions just in case. Looking at the neatly organized inventory, I smiled and turned on the map. The Wilderness area is a hunting ground for level 200 players, red crayfish are usually scattered here and there, but if you know the points where they respawn, it will be faster to collect them. After checking the best respawn point on the strategy page, I press Quick Go. I moved a little west from the side corner to the center of the wilderness to reach the respawn point. 〈System〉 A surging heat encapsulates you in the Wilderness, your stamina is affected. 〈System〉 You have entered the battle area. Pay attention to your safety. After a very brief loading time, a desert covered with red sand appeared. To prevent the flame debuff, I wore the special hood that I bought in advance and summoned a horse. Unlike in other places, in the desert, you cannot ride a horse at full speed. On the other hand, if you ride a camel, you can move a little faster than the horse, but I am not going to pay for one, so I just ride a horse. I set the destination marker on the map to automatically navigate to the respawn point. Then, I turned on Youtube as I waited for the trip to be completed. Without having to think about what to watch, I clicked on an animal video straight away. A puppy with soft wheat-colored fur runs around and clings to its owner’s feet. The round belly, round eyes, and short tail are so cute. After all, the Sigorjab breed dog is the best. The stress that had accumulated because of Yoo Chae melted away. I would like to raise one if the circumstances allowed it. If possible, I want one that’s a little bigger and the fur must unconditionally be brown. I also wish for it to have a lot of affection for its owner. With a happy smile on my face, I turned off the video and turned my gaze back to the game screen and crumpled my face at once. “Crazy, why are you here?” [All] Yoo Chae: Why did you come so late? [All] Yoo Chae: I waited for a long time [All] I’m Sleepy: ? Why is this bastard here? I was staring and blinking repeatedly at this ridiculous situation while Yoo Chae walked towards me, who was standing blankly. [All] Yoo Chae: What is that hood? Did you buy it at a store center or something? [All] Yoo Chae: Do you want mine? [All] I’m Sleepy: Before that, what are you doing here? When I finally came to my senses and questioned him with an uncomfortable feeling, the guy who didn’t respond for a while, sent a message asking for a deal and started chatting. [All] Yoo Chae: As I said earlier [All] Yoo Chae: If you are looking for a level 200 hunting ground, then it’s either here or Hell Swamp.. [All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋI already know [All] I’m Sleepy: are you here because you want to form a party with us two? [All] Yoo Chae: Umm… I thought while rejecting the transaction request message. Had I known this, I would have gone to Hell Swamp. It was a half-and-half risk, but what would it take? I regretted it belatedly, but a new guild chat has been uploaded. [Guild] Yoo Chae: We met [Guild] Drink some water: Phew fk [Guild] Drink some water: there “……” After seeing it, I thought about it for a while, and then asked for more context. [All] I’m Sleepy: Are you sending Water Noona to Hell Swamp? [All] Yoo Chae: I don’t know what you mean haha [All] Yoo Chae: But why are you calling Water Noona? [All] Yoo Chae: I wasn’t allowed to call you Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: You just met her for the first time yesterday and already called her Noona.. [All] I’m Sleepy: Shut up… If you look at it, the problem is you, who is 23 years old and uses impolite words to a 27-year-old person without even using a title... Are you really crazy? “Haa......” The will to enjoy the game has plummeted. I took a deep breath with my hand wrapped around my head, but I kept hearing the beep of a transaction request. [All] Yoo Chae: Please accept the transaction deal [All] Yoo Chae: It’s a deal with a hood and an ice attribute buff on the hand [All] I’m Sleepy: Can’t you just log off? [All] Yoo Chae: You’re mean ㅜㅡㅜ You’re the one that’s being mean, damn it! I don’t know why you’re so obsessed with me. You hated me so much at first, but what the hell? How am I supposed to get this damn bastard out of here? [All] Yoo Chae: Accept it just once [All] Yoo Chae: I know you will really like the attribute buff item As I was about to refuse the transaction request that kept coming at a terrifying speed, I realized something and blinked my eyes. “Ah.” A great plan flashed through my mind. Crazy. Why didn’t I think of this earlier? I wanted to run out of the house right now and run around the neighborhood shouting. As expected of me, I’m a genius. I quickly sat up straight on the chair, accepting the transaction request message that I had been repeatedly rejecting, and quickly chatted. [All] I’m Sleepy: Hood and buff items? [All] I’m Sleepy: Will you be giving them to me? Not lending them? [All] Yoo Chae: Sure [All] Yoo Chae: Is there anything else you need?? [All] Yoo Chae: What about a Robe? After I received the deal, the excited Yoo Chae put a hood and a buff item on the trade window. I proudly asked with a bright smile. [All] I’m Sleepy: Give it all to me, ha — TL Note: Respawn - regeneration of characters or monsters in a video game after they are defeated.

13. (Drink some water Noona POV) [Guild] Yoo Chae: Water [Guild] Yoo Chae: I want to borrow your sub-account [Guild] Drink some water: ? As soon as you log in, you leave aside greetings and suddenly ask to borrow my sub-account. I can’t believe he just asked me like that. [Guild] Drink some water: Why all of a sudden [Guild] Yoo Chae: What’s the point of knowing [Guild] Drink some water: No, Fuck, I don’t. I have to know why you’re going to use my sub-account;; [Guild] Manaolingnam: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: Big Brain omg [Guild] Yoo Chae: I just thought that it’s easier to contact through guild chat ㄱ [Guild] Drink some water: You’re a real bastard ah— —; [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Is that so? [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Sleepy-nim? Isn’t it related to him? [Guild] Mocha Bread: yeah [Guild] Mocha Bread: Gilma hates our guild lady, so he treats her like the guild’s dog ㅋ [Guild] Yoo Chae: I don’t hate her [Guild] I’m getting lazy: then what? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Anyway, that’s not it You’re simply going to say, ‘that’s not it’? Drink some water, who was thinking the same as the other guild members, sighed. [Guild] Drink some water: You said you were rethinking, so I deliberately didn’t hire newbies and waited. [Guild] Drink some water: Now you made the situation more worse and [Guild] Drink some water: This is what happened [Guild] Harn: But honestly [Guild] Harn: If I was Sleepy-nim, I just simply want to play a game here you know.. [Guild] Harn: it’s better to not do this omg [Guild] Yoo Chae: ? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Even if I get back Sleepy Hyung, I wouldn’t participate [Guild] Yoo Chae: Why are you all getting fucking excited about this? [Guild] Drink some water: ????? [Guild] Drink some water: So, what happened to that mess yesterday? [Guild] Yoo Chae: It went fine so just send okay sub-account details already ㄱ That little bastard… I’ve known Yoo Chae for quite a while, but I couldn’t help but feel emotional every time this kind of stuff happened. [Guild] Drink some water: Ah, I’ll give it to you, so just tell me [Guild] Drink some water: Can I add a new newbie? [Guild] Yoo Chae: do whatever you want That was a reply from a guy, who didn’t even have an interest in guild work. [Guild] Drink some water: Fk you always tell me to wait without asking about my thoughts [Guild] Drink some water: What the heck is really wrong with you? [Guild] Yoo Chae: Originally, you see our Sleepy Hyung [Guild] Yoo Chae: I can’t get my way with him and that’s a charm haha [Guild] Harn: omg [Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Manaolingnam: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Blegh [Guild] Bright Clouds: Water-nim ㅠㅠ Bear with himㅠㅠ I grinded my teeth, pressing the backspace to erase the cursing I filled in all the way up to the end of the chat input box, just right after Bright Cloud’s message. In the end, Yoo Chae didn’t care about the selection, and only had the thought of how to get back that Sleepy-nim. I thought that he was trying to bring that Sleepy guy to win the selection safely. What the hell is that newbie? [Guild] Let’s do this: En, But Gilma-nim [Guild] Let’s do this: if it’s Water-nim’s, then it’s her sub-account? Cotton Candy Fox? [Guild] Let’s do this: isn’t it female chara [Guild] Drink some water: It’s a female chara The sub account ‘Cotton Candy Fox,’ which was raised by Drink Some Water in the past, was a pretty buffer character with fox ears. This account was created for the purpose of playing whenever she was bored, since she did not have many clothes to wear due to being a tanker. [Guild] Yoo Chae: yeah so can I borrow it? [Guild] Drink some water: It’s not even at max level [Guild] Yoo Chae: Doesn’t matter [Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋjust wanted to ask you [Guild] Harn: You’re not borrowing the account to play with Sleepy-nim, are you? Yoo Chae remained silent without answering Harn’s question. As the silence grew longer, it was the guild members who went crazy. [Guild] Harn: No ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: He was caught ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Mocha Bread: You should have done a good job when you had the chanceㅉㅉ [Guild] Let’s do this: Water-nim, he’s just fulfilling his own desires with your sub-account;; [Guild] Manaolingnam: Are you a stalker? ㅠㅠ [Guild] Manaolingnam: What kind of Gilma is chasing only after the newbie..ㅉㅉ [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Then...from the beginning... [Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋhonestly, a little of a stalker-ish mode;; Laughter and accusations soared fiercely. Yoo Chae, who was looking at it without any response, made a brief chat. [Guild] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ [Guild] Yoo Chae: First 4 people to arrive can join [Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅋㅋㅋme; [Guild] Let’s do this: me me me me [Guild] Manaolingnam: ㅅHanded [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Park Seung-jin98’s ready [Guild] Bright Clouds: Are you at max level?? [Guild] Yoo Chae: I’m currently at full level, but that other account is not ㄴㄴ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Ready with Suwon Special City [Guild] Let’s go all in: How many times are you going to let that bastard have your sub-account; [Guild] Yoo Chae: Then I’ll be adding Cotton Candy Fox as a friendㄱ I was shocked by Yoo Chae’s behavior of taking someone else’s sub-account as if it were his. I wanted to change my password abruptly, but I couldn’t afford the chaos of Chae Yoo that might come after me. ‘My life...……… ‘ After leaving the guild chatting window behind, I turned on the internet and moved to the Zenoris user cafe. It was time to find a newbie. *** It’s been a week since I have been playing solo without joining any guild. After I barely managed to get to level 215 from the field raid dragon hunting quest, I bowed my head down in vain. ‘I have to do a dungeon raid.’ In case of dungeon raids, they are often done by high-level users as they drop expensive items or weapons, but there was always a shortage of items or weapons. Above all, in order to clear it easily, all the users, who entered, had to do their job to some extent, so a fresh beginner like me, with no experience, was unfortunately not good enough. It’s the truth that no matter how much strategy and videos I looked into, it would do no good for me since my experience was low. Occasionally, there are a few parties that ask beginners to come in because it’s okay, but it was not easy to participate because the seats filled up quickly. ‘This is why I need a guild.’ Because of this situation, most guilds are willing to help with dungeon raid quests when newbies come in. The newbies grew up learning raids from the guild members, and the guild members mutually benefited from this because they were going hunting anyway. I was aiming for such a scenario and tried to join the guild for that too. ‘Yoo Chae, you bastard......’ It was very depressing to see that I leveled up only 3 levels after a week of hard work. The ten days where I spent to reach level 200 seemed like a lie. [Key.Dawn/7 reel/1 tank 3 deal 2 support/max level welcome] 6/6 [Paywall/3 reel/max] 7/12 [Key.Dawn/3 reel/1 tank 4 deal 1 heal/max level/newbie wanted] 5/6 [Loeb / 10 reel / 6 deal 1 heal 1 / speed up / high welcome] 6/8 When I looked at the party titles posted on the raid bulletin board, I could only sigh. It was possible to raise the level without doing a dungeon raid, but then, I would have to catch hundreds of field mobs to just level up once. ‘Should I just go back to how I was doing?’ I’m sure I’ll get kicked out from the party but I’m still going to try……… [All] Cotton Candy Fox: over here [All] Cotton Candy Fox: I’m Sleepy-nimㅇㅅㅇ It was the moment when I almost made an extreme choice because I was blinded by the party list. Standing tall in front of the raid bulletin board, a user, whom I saw for the first time, came up to me and began chatting with me. [All] I’m Sleepy: ? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Do you have a partyㅇ.ㅇ? What’s this. I haven’t been feeling well since before, so I scratched my eyebrows and glanced at the character. Light brown hair and cat ears… No, are they fox ears? Anyway, she was a female character with strange animal ears. Her clothes were also very glamorous, with a light blue skirt and sparkling ornaments attached. [All] I’m Sleepy: Why do you ask [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Ahㅠㅠ Me too [All] Cotton Candy Fox: If you don’t have a party, can you join us? ㅠ.ㅠ “…...?” Uh, what? Party? Party? My body, which was limp like a squid on land, stood up quickly. [All] I’m Sleepy: Where is the party is going? [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Keyrant Dungeon>< [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Right now, it’s 1 tank, 2 deal, so 2 more people to join [All] Cotton Candy Fox: One spot is vacant for the long-distance dealer 8_8 [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Looking at the staff, I think you are a mage [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Please, let’s join together!!>ㅡ< If it was a Keyrant, it was the dungeon I had to go to. It’s a complete gain for me too. I was about to say yes in a hurry, but I paused. ‘Wait a minute. But this...… ‘ If you think I’m at max level and suggested joining you? [All] I’m Sleepy: I’m not at max level [All] I’m Sleepy: And it’s the first time I am doing this, so I might cause trouble for you guys [All] I’m Sleepy: Is that okay? It’s not a problem to deceive them, but in the end, I had to ask honestly. Please say okay. Say it’s okay. [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Come it’s okay~ hahahaha [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Fox isn’t at max level either>0< After waiting for an answer full of anticipation, I was able to smile comfortably this time. [All] I’m Sleepy: Yep let’s go [All] Cotton Candy Fox: Hahaha, Please come to the party~ Cotton Candy Fox opened a party window over her head. The party name was [123123]. It’s not a public party that collects users from the Raid bulletin board, so it must be a friend party. When I pressed the party window, the part chat window was activated with a ringing sound. The party chat window has been activated. [Party] Suwon Special City: Ah I feel like throwing up [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: fr [Party] Suwon Special City: Ah [Party] What Do You Soy Milk: haha hello~! [Party] Let’s go witcher: hi hi [Party] Bumble Wing Wing: Hiyo~ [Party] I’m Sleepy: Hello [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahaha [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Shall we go then?^-^ [Party] Suwon Special City: Yep~^^;; Fortunately, the party atmosphere was exceptionally good. When we went through the portal and moved in front of the dungeon entrance, we gathered in a place with pretty decent weapons in our hands. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahaha I’m Sleepy-nim~ [Party] I’m Sleepy: Yes? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: username’s a bit long, so I want to shorten it, is that okay? [Party] I’m Sleepy: I don’t care You have helped me after all. So, just call me whatever you want. In order not to cause any inconvenience as much as possible, Cotton Candy Fox expressed her embarrassment when I replied half-heartedly by rechecking the equipment. Yoo Chae used that one last time too. [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Then [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa, is that okay?>.< “……” Suddenly, my hand on the keyboard, flinched at seeing the word oppa. What are you talking about…… [Party] I’m Sleepy: ? [Party] I’m Sleepy: Do you know how old I am to call me Oppa? [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: I’m young! I’m sure it’s Oppa?? ㅎ.ㅎ [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: What’s the big deal??? What kind of dogshit logic is this? Thanks to that baseless oppa title, I changed my long-held doubts into certainty. Cotton Candy Fox, this kid is definitely a man. ‘Does netkamas [1] stick to newbies too these days?’ After confirming that the equipment was all in good condition, I replied carelessly. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Do whatever you want [Party] Cotton Candy Fox: hahahahaha --- [1] Netkamas / Internet Okama – Japanese term for guy catfishing as a girl. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei HM: I am seriously wondering how a person like Yoo Chae ended up to the gilma of the no. 1 guild. owo→ 0w0
