Chapter 32

“Hyung…”

“You have to say something to make it fun for me. Didn’t you start a new account after getting banned just for fun? And didn’t you swipe my items, too? …Must’ve been a blast, right? Pretty bold, too.”

“…”

“So let me enjoy myself a bit, too.”

Kyungsoo chuckled as he turned toward the door.

“Okay. Wanna do it now since we’re already on it? Should I turn on the computer?”

“No, I’ll do it after you leave…”

Noeul mumbled reluctantly. After he leaves? Kyungsoo shrugged his interlaced fingers and hopped off the bed.

“Then I’ll leave right now.”

“…Huh?”

Just then, his stomach growled. Ugh. Kyunsoo made a funny noise as he instinctively looked down at his stomach. Noeul, hearing the sound, got up from the bed as well.

“Let’s eat dinner before you go…”

As Noeul tried to walk to the kitchen, he held onto the doorframe, swaying. The guy had a head injury, for crying out loud!

Kyungsoo hurried to support him, telling him not to overdo it. Noeul gave a faint smile.

“If I don’t, you’ll leave right away…”

“If you collapse, it’ll all be my fault! Are you seriously okay?”

“I’m fine. I won’t blame you for killing me. Ah… I feel dizzy…”

“Cheon Noeul! Get a grip!”

Kyungsoo held Noeul by the shoulders, trying to figure out what to do in this situation.

“Let’s just order something. So… just lie down.”

“Then let’s watch a movie on the laptop in my room.”

“…”

Maybe it was better to have Noeul sit quietly in his room. Noeul seemed disappointed about not being able to watch a movie earlier. After pretending to hesitate, Kyungsoo agreed.

“What movie should we watch?”

After the second major update, the game was buzzing for days when the first player reached the max level for a new class. The class? Berserker. The very same “abandoned class by GM” Berserker. Players who’d advanced to Berserker had tested its efficiency, cursed it out, and gone off to start new characters. That’s how inefficient the Berserker class was.

With bazooka recoil actually implemented in-game, Berserkers took self-damage every time they attacked, which contributed to the class’s downfall. By the time players tried to get the hang of Berserker, a new class, Hero, was introduced. As a result, the Berserker didn’t receive a balance patch, and the recoil damage remained. An abandoned class by the GM, shunned even by players—that was Berserker.

[Guild] Supercool: You know that famous Berserker… apparently they went to F Corporation HQ for an interview.

[Guild] Aslen: I’m so jealous, dang. Did they get to see Pudding too?ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Supercool: Idiot…

The renowned Berserker ranked high on the personal rankings leaderboard, pushing other rankers aside. Videos of them playing in the field spread on forums and community boards, and the main server’s Berserker, “MeowieMeowMeow,” finally gained fame.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Oh, MeowieMeowMeow? LOL, I need to watch that later.

[Guild] Aslen: Why? Watch it now… It’s posted by Pudding! Too cuteㅠ

[Guild] SpadeQueen: What the hell is cute about it? Seriously…

Despite the fame, to Noeul, it was just another name in passing. Since they were at a similar level, he might’ve occasionally seen them in the field, but they hadn’t caused any trouble or been memorable.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: By the way, Meowie’s a volunteer? I saw him carrying newbies in the game again earlier, LOL.

[Guild] Sunset: What a waste of effort.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Why a waste? He seemed nice.

[Guild] Sunset: Doesn’t he know that being too nice just makes him a pushover?

[Guild] Seolyoung: Hilarious. You sound like you’re speaking from experience. Do you even know what kindness is?

[Guild] anamato: Like he’d have experience, LOL. Our guild master? Helping someone? Please.

‘anamato has been demoted to Untouchable.’

[Guild] anamato: …? Is there something I should know? Have you ever helped anyone?

[Guild] Sunset: Nope.

[Guild] anamato: Then what’s my crime…?

[Guild] Sunset: Annoying me…ㅠ Anyone wanna go to Galaxy?

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Me.

[Guild] Seolyoung: I’ll join later.

[Guild] anamato: Why do our guild ranks have such weird names… Another guild has cute ranks like Baby > Teen > Adult. Why are ours… so lacking in creativity?

[Guild] Sunset: I came up with them…ㅇㅅㅇ

[Guild] anamato: I absolutely love it!!!!

[Guild] Sunset: Glad you do.^^

[Guild] anamato: Haha, totally! I mean, uh, that was a typo…;;

[Guild] Supercool: By the way, Aslen, did you know? According to that Berserker, GM Pudding is a guy.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Wait, really? LOLLL

[Guild] Aslen: ? So cute, why does he have to be a guy? Don’t say stuff like that.

[Guild] Sunset: LOL, wasn’t there someone who was all over FlowerBunny Hyung, calling him cute and stuff?

[Guild] Supercool: FlowerBunny Hyung LOL

[Guild] Aslen: Don’t bring that jerk up.ㅠ We didn’t know except for you!

[Guild] Seolyoung: Let’s get it straight. The guild master didn’t know, but you just assumed, right?!

FlowerBunny was a male player pretending to be a girl, borrowing money and items from guild members while secretly stirring up drama. Aslen was the first in the guild to fall victim, and thus the “ex-husband” of FlowerBunny.

To Noeul’s knowledge, actual female players didn’t use exaggerated cutesy language like FlowerBunny. Even if they did, it was rare. The moment Noeul suspected FlowerBunny might be a man, he acted on it without a plan, which did make FlowerBunny back off a bit.

[Guild] Sunset: “Aww, my little bunny would never do that! Why are you so mean, Sunset…ㅠ So unfair… Let me comfort you…”

[Guild] Seolyoung: LOL, that’s dead-on HAHAHA

[Guild] Aslen: Arghhhhhh!!!

[Guild] Sunset: “My baby is still a little kid!ㅠㅠㅠ♡”

[Guild] SpadeQueen: FlowerBunny: Hng, oppa♡ (in a gruff male voice)

[Guild] Seolyoung: (Oppa…♡ typing while trimming his mustache)

[Guild] anamato: Not the mustache LOL

[Guild] Aslen: AHHHHHHH!!

After Sunset exposed him as a man, FlowerBunny deleted his account and disappeared for good.

—

[Guild] Seolyoung: Let’s just forget FlowerBunny.

[Guild] Seolyoung: But why didn’t you realize GM Pudding was a guy from the beginning? His character was male.

[Guild] Aslen: Seolyoung, did you know? Why didn’t you say anything?

[Guild] Seolyoung: I just thought you liked guys now.

[Guild] Aslen: ?

[Guild] Seolyoung: ??

[Guild] Aslen: Why is everyone so open-minded…?

[Guild] Aslen: I thought our Pudding picked a male character just to look cool like Seolyoung…

[Guild] Seolyoung: LOL

[Guild] Aslen: Pudding, I loved you so much… goodbye…☆

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Haha, kinda like a spice detector?

[Guild] Aslen: PVP me, let’s go right now LOL

[Guild] SpadeQueen: My weapon’s broken, so not today.ㅠ

[Guild] Seolyoung: LOL, I never thought I’d see someone fangirl over a GM. Should I DM Mr. Pudding one-on-one?

[Guild] Aslen: He ignores those, he probably won’t read it.

[Guild] Seolyoung: Sunset taught me a trick for that.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: What is it??

[Guild] Seolyoung: Write this in the subject: “Cash items keep buying themselves even though I have no cashㅠㅠ”

[Guild] Seolyoung: That gets you a response within half a day LOL

[Guild] SpadeQueen: LOL

After a wave of laughter, Noeul completely forgot about the Berserker ranker. He was the type who paid no attention to things he wasn’t interested in, and he was too busy gathering items to add glitter effects to his “Archangel Wings.”

A few months later, in the early hours one day, Noeul, wearing a mushroom hat, was collecting event items that occasionally appeared in the guild’s exclusive zone. Suddenly, a blue dot blinked on the minimap. He wondered who had the nerve to enter his territory. Instantly, he hit the Tap key, switched his mount to a weapon, and rushed down. But then it happened.

“You have died. Would you like to revive at the nearest village?”

[Guild] Sunset: …?

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Whaaat?

Noeul, who was only used to killing passersby, never thought he’d be the one to die. Realizing he didn’t have a resurrection item, he chuckled dryly, accepting he’d have to revive with a death penalty. His inventory was filled with the event items he had gathered all night, the money he hadn’t stored, and the star and moon fragments he’d been collecting for a week.

[Guild] Sunset: I just died.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Haha, here comes the bullshit!

[Guild] Seolyoung: Go to sleep if you’re tired…

[Guild] Sunset: I’m serious!

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Today’s bullshit is quite novel.

[Guild] Sunset: Seriously, or I’ll just quit, lol. Come see it for yourself.^^;

A little later, the Melody guild members gathered in one place to find out if what had been said was true. They flocked around the sunset lying on the ground.

[Guild] Seolyoung: Oh my, is it really true, oppa? The Guild Master has died.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: For real?? I can’t go right now, so can someone screenshot it?

[Guild] Seolyoung: Isn’t this a case of justice being served?^ㅅ^

[Guild] Seolyoung: Rest in peace, the deceased… Action~Beam~!!!!~!!

Seolyoung shot an energy wave from her hand. The beam stretched out to its range, glimmered, and then disappeared.

[Guild] anamato: Hahahahahaha

[Guild] Sunset: Are you laughing?

[Guild] anamato: I mean… can’t I laugh as I please? After all, I’m a pariah, right? Tsk.

As he brushed past, the one who killed the sunset appeared again the next day, gathering the guild members together to blow them up and then moved on to the next map.

[Guild] Seolyoung: What was that just now? I was up there and suddenly got pulled down… Was it a bug?

[Guild] Sunset: See, I was right; it’s that bastard again from yesterday.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: That was definitely that MeowieMeowMeow; it’s a Berserker class skill, damn it. Did he turn dark after getting betrayed by the newbies yesterday?

[Guild] Sunset: Did he lose his personality?

[Guild] Supercool: ?

[Guild] Aslen: ?

[Guild] SpadeQueen: ? You shouldn’t be talking.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Didn’t he come to take revenge on you?

[Guild] Sunset: I don’t remember.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Of course you don’t; I’m not expecting anything from you, lol. If I list everyone you’ve killed, we’d end up with a list as long as the Tripitaka.^^;

[Guild] Sunset: It’s not that much; that’s a bit embarrassing.^^

[Guild] Seolyoung: He really is a huge scumbag…

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Haha, why would you even say hello after killing someone?

[Guild] Sunset: It’s just nice to meet him, haha.

[Guild] Seolyoung: Hearing the reasons just makes it more hopeless…

[Guild] anamato: Hah, if I were him, I’d seek revenge too, lol. It’s karma, so just accept it.

[Guild] Sunset: What’s wrong with using the map that the GM made for PVP?

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Haha, exactly! .o0 (But why is he getting so mad…)

[Guild] Aslen: Hahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Seolyoung: Hahaha, you have the best empathy, really.

[Guild] Sunset: Thanks, thanks, haha.

Noeul felt frustrated that he hadn’t even laid a finger on MeowieMeowMeow. He spent the night feeling annoyed. MeowieMeowMeow appeared at least once every morning, indiscriminately massacring the Melody guild members sitting around the guild zone. He would show up in an instant, get a kill, and move on to the next map. Even Sunset found it hard to stop him. Despite the guild members waiting at the portal entrance armed and ready, the outcome remained the same. They would get wrapped up in his class skill and die before they could do anything.

It was around the time the gathering event was almost over that they figured out the basis for his accurate and swift movements that were almost like a macro. Dozens of victims had emerged from the Melody guild, but because the guild leader was even worse, they had kept quiet about it. They weren’t in a position to voice complaints.

[Guild] Sunset: Can you take off your hat?

[Guild] Aslen: What hat?

[Guild] Seolyoung: The mushroom hat?

Following his words, everyone took off their mushroom hats, which increased the gathering rate, and waited silently. When MeowieMeowMeow appeared through the left portal, he passed through the guild zone this time without causing any harm.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: What the…?

It turned out to be just as they had suspected.

[Guild] Sunset: Hahaha, I can’t believe I was a mushroom.

MeowieMeowMeow attacked upon seeing the flashy mushroom hat. This was confirmed through several subsequent experiments.

[Guild] anamato: Hahahaha, so he was playing while sleeping, and not a single person could properly handle him? Hahahahaha, that’s just ridiculous.

[Guild] Sunset: I will definitely catch him.

[Guild] Seolyoung: Hahaha, so he was just coming to pick mushrooms, huh? Hahahahaha.

The next day, rumors spread within the guild, and MeowieMeowMeow, who was being referred to as the Berserker or something, was now being called the Mushroom Gatherer.

Meanwhile, Noeul was ignited with a competitive spirit for the first time in a while. He had never encountered anyone who he couldn’t match, even when he made a concerted effort. Even his unconscious response abilities were quite remarkable.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Since he’s stronger than you, isn’t the mushroom gatherer your ideal type? Hahaha, marry him!

[Guild] Aslen: What’s your ideal type?

[Guild] Sunset: At least it’s not you.

[Guild] Aslen: Don’t call me a pepper discriminator, please.

[Guild] Sunset: I never said that….

[Guild] anamato: Hahahaha, sounds like someone is feeling guilty.

[Guild] Seolyoung: Hahahahahahaha.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: They have to be good at the game (stronger than him), kind, and have the right face type.

[Guild] Aslen: Why would he meet Sunset if he’s kind?

[Guild] Seolyoung: That must have gone extinct in the Cretaceous period.

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Agreed.

[Guild] Sunset: Maybe they could have just been on the verge of extinction.

[Guild] Aslen: How can you endure extinction? Just marry the mushroom gatherer.

[Guild] Sunset: I’m not you, so why would I marry a guy?^^;

[Guild] Aslen: No, I’m not!ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] anamato: Oh, the mushroom gatherer has arrived.

At those words, Noeul pressed down his mushroom hat and jumped down while using a skill to greet him. The guild members climbed to the highest point on the map, starting to jump around to avoid the Berserker’s skill range.

Despite receiving the speed-reducing debuff from the Moon Fairy, the Berserker didn’t blink an eye. He executed a side jump to get out of the Moon Fairy’s attack range and began firing bazookas at Noeul’s torso from behind.

‘You have died. Would you like to resurrect at the nearest village?’

[Guild] SpadeQueen: What happened? Hahahaha.

[Guild] Sunset: What the hell is he?

Determined to catch him for revenge, Noeul, who had been waiting with a mushroom hat on, was once again brutally killed. Until the event ended, he never managed to defeat that troublesome Berserker even once.

‘You have died. Would you like to resurrect at the nearest village?’

Why can’t I win against him? He’s just a Berserker. My personal PVP ranking is higher too. Why do I keep losing?

‘You have died. Would you like to resurrect at the nearest village?’

“……”

As days went by, Noeul became more and more stubborn. He tried to find his play style in the community but found too little information. He read every eyewitness account he could find.

MeowieMeowMeow was a ranker but often appeared near low-level dungeons. If you loiter in front of a dungeon, he would let you join his party and was generous and kind to newbies. Many posts mentioned his good deeds, though there were also occasional complaints mixed in. “When I asked him to help with the Four Guardian Gods raid, he said he was busy today and didn’t help. After his first job change, his attitude changed. He started demanding money. He got greedy.” These types of complaints made him chuckle.

This is why you shouldn’t help anyone. When kindness continues, they start to think it’s their right. Having never helped anyone in his life, Noeul found himself frowning at the thought of that Berserker.

He challenged MeowieMeowMeow to a PVP but was ignored. It made him more determined. He tried again but was dismissed. He charged at him when he appeared in the guild zone during the day, but the outcome was the same.

[All] MeowieMeowMeow: Oh my goshㅡㅡ;

‘You have died. Would you like to resurrect in the nearest village?’

[All] PoseidonCaptain: What?

[All] MeowieMeowMeow: I don’t know, bleh!

[Guild] Seolyoung: Haha, LOL!

[Guild] Sunset: Ugh, I’m so annoyed. What’s up with that person?

[Guild] SpadeQueen: Someone stronger than you, haha!

 

After the event ended, he didn’t show his face in the guild zone at all. All day long, Noeul imagined catching and killing MeowieMeowMeow and even experimented with other guys, but in reality, he didn’t even stick out a single hair in the guild zone. As the days went by, Noeul found himself increasingly obsessed with that MeowieMeowMeow guy.

*

While Noeul was constantly thinking about how to catch and beat MeowieMeowMeow, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, prompting him to get up. There was an interview video taken back when things were chaotic. Why hadn’t he thought of that before? He had heard that there were videos of people playing, so if he played it right, he might find a way to beat that guy.
