CH 20

I successfully completed Hell, the last difficulty of the Keyrent Dungeon yesterday, and was able to hit level 220 without any problems. It is a record of the splendor of raising 5 levels in four days.

But it’s hard. Since you cleared each difficulty level at least two or three times at most, it was worth raising about 5 levels. Still, considering last week when I was at level 215 for a week, this speed was pretty good.

‘Shelton is the next raid dungeon.’

We had beaten Hell, the most difficult level of Keyrent, so there was no need to do that anymore. Shelton-only quests had already been received.

Shelton’s difficulty was in the order of Normal, Hard, and Hell, just like Keyrent. If I break all of that, I'll be able to hit level 230 right away.

After examining the skills of the party members and the speed of raid clearing, I thought quietly.

‘……Well done.’

In addition, 5 items from Cotton Candy Fox have already been passed down to me. It was difficult to say no because he knew that I didn't accept expensive items, and because I only picked out suitable items.

Still, it wasn’t easy to get it from the beginning. The third time, I said that I would buy it myself because he didn’t seem like he'd relent.

Then, Cotton Candy Fox smirked and said something like, ‘Do you see Raid as a joke, Sleepy Oppa?’ It was a load of bullshit. From then on, I just took it without saying anything.

“Hm….”

Crossing over to the raid area where the Shelton Dungeon was located, I slowly looked at the raid recruitment bulletin board. It’s not bad to know the atmosphere in advance.

[Shelton/ 4 reel / 2 tank 3 DPS 2 support /max level] 6/7

[ㅅㄷ/10 reel/ intermediate support x/2-3-2] 7

[Pitanomal/3 Reels/Nortang 3 DPS 3 support/max levels only] 6/6

[Cell/Light 277/232 sets] /7

[ㅍㅇㅌ/Hell three times/3-3-3/max level is needed] 9/9

There were only Shelton and Pita dungeons in this area, so there weren’t that many recruitment posts on the raid bulletin board.

I think we need another tanker to get around Shelton. I touched the corner of my mouth and looked at the messages I received from Cotton Candy Fox again.

[Cotton Candy Fox: Sleepy Oppa]

[Cotton Candy Fox: Today’s raid is going to be hard ㅠㅅㅠ!]

[Cotton Candy Fox: something suddenly came up]

[Cotton Candy Fox: It will take 3 hours;_;]

[Cotton Candy Fox: Let’s go together in Shelton some other time!]

[I’m sleepy: ok ok]

[Cotton Candy Fox: If you go to another party, they'll know...]

[Cotton Candy Fox: I will get going thenㅜㅡㅜ]

[I’m sleepy: ㄱㅊㄱㅊ]

[Cotton Candy Fox: Hukㅜㅡㅜ]

[Cotton Candy Fox: I will.. ㅜ.ㅜ]

He logged out as soon as those words were finished. It seemed to be true that he was busy.

Or maybe it had something to do with the main account Yoo Chae. Anyway, as the master of the No. 1 guild on the server, there was nothing strange about being busy.

‘But how long are you going to pretend to be a Netkama?’

Now that you have to break a new raid dungeon, you must also have a microphone.

No matter how much I think about it, it seems like you have made a mistake. Last time when I added Yoo Chae as a friend, I should have held onto him properly and questioned this and that. If I had, I wouldn’t have to question about Cotton Candy Fox’s behavior now.

“Because I don’t know…………… “

I crossed my arms and leaned my back on the chair. It was certainly not my fault for what had transpired with Yoo Chae before, but since I received everything I was supposed to receive, I didn’t lose out at all.

To be honest, it's also true that Cotton Candy Fox, who had helped with the Raid stuff harder than anyone over the past few days, managed to relieve his ire a little.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive him for spreading my username like that all over the server, but I’m getting a proper apology anyway.

While doing the raid together, I also felt that this kid didn’t do such a thing with terrible intentions.

Looking back, it was strange from the beginning. He fell all over himself when we tackled my username, and it could be because he has a crazy personality, but his attitude changed immediately after that… Isn’t that a bit suspicious?

At that time, I was so annoyed and lost 1:1 PVP, so I didn’t take it seriously... Looking back now, there were definitely a few strange things.

“…I don’t know.”

After groaning for a while, I sighed and ruffled my bangs. Even if I tried to work hard alone, it wouldn’t mean anything unless I caught that Yoo Chae bastard and hear the answer.

Even if I went ahead and told Cotton Candy Fox to stop doing the Netkama, it wouldn’t work. If I stepped forward for no reason, I may lose the only experienced raid party that'll take me in.

‘Yeah. Ignore everything and start reaching the max level.’

Anyway, I’ve been through a lot of trouble because of this bastard, can’t I get on the level-up bus?

I cleared my shaking heart and straightened my posture. What was the reason for starting Zenoris in the first place? Isn’t it just to try out a new job, a dark mage?

You can change to a Dark Mage only when you reach max level. In retrospect, it means that I haven’t even played a Dark Mage yet.

I turned off Cotton Candy Fox's message box and moved to another place. Today’s raid was canceled, but that didn’t mean there weren’t any quests to do.

There were about five daily quests, called ‘assignments’, which would give additional rewards and experience points every day, and additional quests that only come to normal level users.

Once I finished my assignments quickly, I went to the Eastern Continent to do additional quests. It was to catch a monster called Campara, which only respawns on islands in the eastern continent.

Probably because it was a place with the fewest users, and there were only two people on the map except for me even though it wasn't late, from what I can see, those two were also normal level, so it looks like they came for an additional quest. I turned off my mind and went to catch Campara, but the whole chat came up.

[All] Ganbok: ㄱㄷLet’s try it

[All] Ganbok: I told you so

[All] Ganbok: Over there

[All] Ganbok: I’m sleepy-nim ㅋㅋ

As I was taking out the staff to hunt, I frowned at the subsequent chats. What, this again?

[All] I’m sleepy: ?

[All] Ganbok: Sleepy-nim, right?

[All] Ganbok: I had a fight with the bastards from the Early Evening

Early evening bastards? I turned off the inventory window and looked at the screen properly. The name of the guild that was clearly floating above the nickname that was written as ‘Ganbok’ was <Fever>.

‘Ah, that Fever.’

It reminded me of the Guild Wars I had heard from Kim Dae-Seok before. It was the guild that fought with the Early evening guild two or three times a year. Was it ranked 3rd?

[All] aoko1: ㅋㅋㅋ For real, those people

[All] aoko1: Excuse me

The guy next to the Ganbok belonged to the same Fever guild. I quietly stared at the chat window and narrowed my eyes.

‘These bastards... I have a bad feeling.’

My instincts of playing the game for a long time were shouting. You should be careful with those in front of you.

[All] I’m sleepy: ?

While giving a rough answer, I turned on the video recording program I had installed in advance. When the record button was pressed, the Zenoris play screen began to be recorded vividly.

[All] aoko1: Then you can spit it out

[All] aoko1: You were deprived for real? ㅋ

[All] aoko1: Right??

[All] aoko1: ???is that right?

[All] I’m sleepy: yes

[All] Ganbok: It’s so damn funny ㅋㅋㅋ

[All] Ganbok: Sleepy-nim, I really wanted to meet you at least onceㅋㅋ

[All] I’m sleepy: ? ㅋㅋ

Watching the recording time go by properly, I thought deeply. What do you want me to do?

[All] Ganbok: As you know

[All] Ganbok: Yoo Chae has always been acting up even before.

[All] Ganbok: A lot of people don’t like him. ㅋㅋ

[All] aoko1: Right ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[All] aoko1: There are a lot of victims like you in the guild

[All] Ganbok: That person is a bastard

[All] I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ

I felt sour in my mouth at their words. I sighed and tilted my head slowly. To be honest, it was a bit annoying. If they have nothing important to say, I would like to just go hunting now.

[All] Ganbok: Sleepy-nim

[All] Ganbok: Are you still getting fired from the guilds you enter??

[All] Ganbok: That’s why you play solo?

[All] aoko1: The Early evening is awful, so who cares about them? ㅋ

[All] Ganbok: Will you come to our guild? ㅋㅋ

[All] Ganbok: Newbie’s only the problem we have to deal with now~

When I received an unexpected offer, I couldn’t react immediately and blinked.

“You want me to join the guild?”

The Fever Guild is also ranked 3rd on the server and has a bad relationship with the Early evening?

After thinking for a while, I answered.

[All] I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ

[All] I’m sleepy: No, I refuse

Guild’s suggestion to join, of course, was good. Even if it was the Fever Guild, it wouldn’t be easy for Early Evening to touch me. However, there are three reasons why I refused.

First, I can’t trust these two guys who suggested joining the guild at all. How many times have you chatted with a user you just met and you’re taking him to the guild? Is joining the server’s 3rd guild that easy?

Second, I had no intention of joining a guild that I didn't know well for one reason: I wanted to give Yoo Chae in Early Evening a bite back for what he had done. The annoyance would have multiplied ten thousand times.

Lastly, I didn’t want to get involved with such human garbage.

The more I looked into it, the more absurd the proposal was. My opponent then responded that he was embarrassed by my knife-like rejection.

[All] aoko1: ??

[All] Ganbok: You say you’re not coming?

[All] aoko1: ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[All] I’m sleepy: Yes I’m not going

[All] I’m sleepy: If you are done talking behind their backs

[All] I’m sleepy: I’m going hunting

[All] Ganbok: ㅋㅋㅋ

It was a waste of time to deal with more. I turned around and went to catch Campara, but something blue flew towards my character at high speed.

“What.”

The body was faster than the head. After moving the character to avoid the attack, I turned my view of the screen and looked back.

[All] aoko1: Fuck

[All] aoko1: Aren't you lucky? ㅋㅋ

I could see one, holding a staff and the other person holding out a spear, respectively.

‘……Are you attacking me now?’

For rejecting an offer to join a guild? I was shocked and burst out laughing.
