Watching the intense server chat in disbelief, I rubbed my throbbing forehead.
That bastard, no way… seriously…?
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: Don't tell me that guy is copying Yuchae?
[Party] Haeren: LOL it really seems like it
[Party] MelodyCode: lmao…ah… no way… lol…
Everyone let out dry laughter at DrinkSomeWater's question, which voiced exactly what I had been thinking.
What? A bounty? Seriously… what the hell is wrong with this guy?
I had heard that in RPGs there were sometimes cases where people harassed others like this, but I never thought I'd see it with my own eyes.
[Party] MelodyCode: Ahahahaha, this guy's seriously nuts… lmao
Even MelodyCode, who usually acted polite, dropped the act and started swearing.
[World] MintChocoChickenSkewer: Here we go again with this bulls**t
[World] Lilyyam: Can't someone just delete that guy's paid server items or something ┐__┌
[World] PoongPpa: Who the hell is MelodyCode, you damn weeb
[World] Simsunsamsooni: That dumbass is having another meltdown
[World] seram: @@@@Buying Queen of Destruction Dress. PM me@@@@
[World] Mimimyamya: Isn't MelodyCode here right now?
[World] dkakdk: Didn't someone pull this crap before too?
[World] PeaceNation: That was Yuchae
[World] Hurrliyakki: Seriously, a guild master copying another guild master? How pathetic.
[World] Alias: Honestly, the EveningTime guild master was even more trash
[World] QuickDrop: Yeah fr, that guy from EveningTime is gay
[World] fewqwe: If he's gay, then Fever's guild master must be in grade school
[World] KkirukKkiruk: Nah, he's just a loser
Just as expected, the world chat had exploded into chaos.
I hadn't even considered the possibility that Fever would react like this, so now I had a headache.
[Guild] TheHunter: Wow, they're just stealing everything disgusting LOL
[Guild] MarinatedCrabYum: I seriously couldn't believe my eyes
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: The guy who got dumped is acting like a clingy ex
[Guild] MochaBread: Poor MelodyCode, getting targeted by that trashy guild
[Guild] Staeric: Hmm, in that case…
[Guild] Staeric: Maybe we should bring Melody into our guild?
[Guild] Let'sPlaySeSeSe: Honestly, that'd be better
[Guild] ManaDrainedGuy: That bounty thing was pretty big
[Guild] ManaDrainedGuy: Honestly 1,000 gold is such a ripoff but lol
[Guild] ManaDrainedGuy: Bounties like that are less about money and more about baiting trolls…
[Guild] HuntingMadman: Exactly, it's not about the amount
[Guild] HuntingMadman: Besides, didn't MelodyCode reveal on the forums that she's a girl?
[Guild] HuntingMadman: So that'll just attract more weirdos
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: If she joins a solid guild, they won't be able to touch her even with a bounty
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: Fever probably knows that too, which is why they brought up a guild war
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: I'm in favor of inviting her if Melody's up for it
[Guild] Haeren: What about our guild master?
Yuchae, who hadn't cared at all about the impersonation, turned to me at Haeren's question.
[Guild] Yuchae: What do you think, hyung?
[Guild] SoSleepy: ?
[Guild] Yuchae: Should we invite MelodyCode?
Why are you asking me that? …Well, since he did, I should give a reply.
[Guild] SoSleepy: I wouldn't be against it
[Guild] SoSleepy: I fought her during the prelims and she was pretty good
[Guild] SoSleepy: A skilled Dark Mage would be useful in a lot of ways
[Guild] SoSleepy: More than anything, if we take her in, Fever won't be able to initiate a guild war easily
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: Yep
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: You think they'd be the ones to start a war with us? LOL
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: They'd get totally destroyed lmao
[Guild] TheHunter: For real LOLLLLL
[Guild] Haeren: If Melody joins our guild and we actually get challenged to a guild war, it'd be hilarious
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Honestly, that'd be a win~
I had only voiced my opinion since he asked. Yuchae was the actual guild master, so it was his decision to make. I added a note in chat.
[Guild] SoSleepy: That's just my two cents
[Guild] SoSleepy: If you're not into it, don't feel pressured to invite her
[Guild] Yuchae: LOL
[Guild] Yuchae: How could I ever disagree with you, hyung?
[Guild] Haeren: Haa…
[Guild] MarinatedCrabYum: Hey, can you two tone down the couple vibes a bit?
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Today's kinda rough for me
[Guild] MochaBread: Please be considerate of the singles in the guild, haha
[Guild] Staeric: Wait, who here's single?
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Please don't ask that kind of stuff —_—
[Guild] Staeric: ??
[Guild] MochaBread: LOLLLLLLLLL
[Guild] Let'sPlaySeSeSe: LMAO
[Guild] Yuchae: Water, you're up
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: Okay, okay…
While we were discussing things, DrinkSomeWater spoke up toward MelodyCode, who had been standing silently.
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: You okay??
[Party] MelodyCode: Ah haha, I was a bit shocked, but I'm alrightㅠ
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: If you're okay with it, wanna join our guild?
[Party] MelodyCode: Huh?
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: We don't care if Fever declares a guild war
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: Honestly, we're confident we can win lol
[Party] MelodyCode: Ah…
[Party] MelodyCode: Actually, I already got a guild offer;
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: Huh?
[Party] SoSleepy: ??
[Party] SoSleepy: You already got one?
[Party] Haeren: Whoa
[Party] MelodyCode: Yeah..
[Party] MelodyCode: I just told them I'd join too
Wait, we only just made our decision—there's another guild that made an offer even faster?
[Party] SoSleepy: Which guild?
As dumb as Fever is, they were still the third-ranked guild on the server.
They had a lot of members, and Sangdanghan wasn't weak either, so most guilds probably wouldn't want to cross them just to help MelodyCode.
MelodyCode didn't reply for a moment—probably busy chatting with that guild's master. Then, a new guild name appeared above her character.
[Party] MelodyCode: This one
[Party] MelodyCode: Restraint lol
[Party] Haeren: Oh???
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: Huh?
[Party] Hwasoun: Holy crap, it's really Restraint??
Just as she said, the guild name floating above MelodyCode was definitely Restraint. They were the second-ranked server guild, with SwordDancer, the #1 Reaper-class player, as guild master.
We had just fought Restraint a few days ago in the prelims. I was surprised by the unexpected development, but considering it was Restraint, it actually seemed like a solid outcome.
[Party] SoSleepy: If it's Restraint, that's good
[Party] MelodyCode: Yeah, that's why I said yes
[Party] DrinkSomeWater: Can't believe we lost her lol
[Party] MelodyCode: Right after Fever used that dumb guild bounty thing, I got a friend request almost instantly lol
[Party] MelodyCode: They said they were already looking for a skilled Dark Mage, so I was like "okay"
I remembered SwordDancer, who I'd seen during the prelims. Now that I think about it, I'd heard Restraint and Fever didn't exactly get along.
So from Restraint's perspective, it was a win-win. They got a skilled Dark Mage and got to stick it to Fever at the same time. As I was thinking that, a server-wide message appeared at the top of the screen.
[Server] SwordDancer: We've brought MelodyCode into our guild, so if you wanna start a guild war, go ahead~
[Guild] TheHunter: Huh????
[Guild] TheHunter: Wait, that newbie joined Restraint??
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: Yeah, we lost her lol
[Guild] HuntingMadman: Oh that's actually great
[Guild] MarinatedCrabYum: LOLLL
[Guild] MarinatedCrabSnack: What now, Fever? hahaha
[Guild] Let'sPlaySeSeSe: That's freakin' hilarious
[Guild] Staeric: If it's Restraint, that's a solid place
[Guild] ManaDrainedGuy: SwordDancer has had a lot of beef with Fever too
[Guild] ManaDrainedGuy: Probably why they jumped to grab Melody lol
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: I bet Fever's flipping out right now—I wish I could see it lol
[Guild] Haeren: For real lololol
[Guild] Yuchae: lol
[Guild] Yuchae: Can't just let them have the last word—we should do something too
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: Like what?
[Guild] Yuchae: Wait for it
[Guild] SoSleepy: ?
[Guild] SoSleepy: What is it?
After saying that, Yuchae left his spot.
For some reason, a bad feeling crept over me.
Before I could stop him, Yuchae used a giant megaphone.
[Server] Yuchae: Putting a bounty on Fever's guild master Sangdanghan
[Server] Yuchae: I'll give 100 million gold every time you kill Sangdanghan! Must land the final blow. Post proof on the Free Board in the forums ^.^
"…This crazy bastard?"
I was stunned—once by the server message, and again by the amount of gold on the bounty—and my hands flew across the keyboard in a panic.
[Guild] SoSleepy: Are you out of your mind?
[Guild] SoSleepy: Who the hell puts 100 million on something like this?
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: Here we go again ┐__┌
[Guild] TheHunter: Sweet, just finished a raid—time to hunt Sangdanghan
[Guild] HuntingMadman: On my way to live up to my name ^^
[Guild] Staeric: Let's go go go go go
[Guild] MarinatedCrabYum: Let's do this
[Guild] ManaDrainedGuy: I'm calling first kill on this LOL
[Guild] MochaBread: Anyone know Sangdanghan's current location?
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: That dude hangs around Relta Island a lot
[Guild] Let'sPlaySeSeSe: I'm heading out first~^^
Our guild members all rushed out to hunt Sangdanghan.
Not just them—players in the square started getting hyped and looking for him too.
[World] swgwpw: ??? WTF 100 mil????
[World] Tazelgwi: No way that's real, this is insane
[World] RaeguRaegu: Who even is Sangdanghan
[World] Nacoi: Just some dumbass
[World] BrainOffLeveling: @@@@@ Someone drop Sangdanghan's location please @@@@@
[World] TwinHawk: Heard he's on Relta Island
[World] Mooyahoho: He's in Peroton, go go
[Server] PhobosSelectionIddal: Do you get 100 mil even if you're the 2nd one to kill him???
[Server] Nabibobetbu: Some people get 1,000 gold, others 100 mil LOL look at the difference
[Server] SwordDancer: lmao I'm in
[SoaeSo]: Omg lololololol
[SoaeSo]: Yuchae's living his best life lately LOL
[SunsuOfMedicine]: Hey hey hey hey
[SunsuOfMedicine]: Can someone ask if you still get 100 mil if you're not first?
[SunsuOfMedicine]: You're in the same guild, right?
[Whisper] MelodyCode: I knew your guild master was eccentric…
[Whisper] MelodyCode: But this is next level lol
"..."
Ding, ding, ding. Message and whisper notifications rang non-stop as I rubbed my forehead, then pulled out my staff.
Without a word, I swung it straight at Yuchae standing nearby.
SMACK! With a loud hit sound, his character staggered, and Yuchae whimpered right away.
[Guild] Yuchae: ....
