Yoo Chae, who got hit by me and had her health reduced to practically an ant's level, started whining.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Why are you scolding me!
[Guild] Yoo Chae: A husband should love his cute bunny-like wife, not scold her all the time ;ㅡ;
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Boohoo, you're so mean..
What husband nonsense is this? And wait, you're the wife in this?
[Guild] SoSleepy: Cancel it right now, ffs.
[Guild] SoSleepy: What the hell is 100 million gold?
[Guild] SoSleepy: You really gonna keep wasting money on stupid crap like this?
100 million gold was roughly 100,000 won in real money. Spending that much just to kill some weakling in-game?
And you're telling me it applies to anyone who kills him? Even just 10 people means a million won.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Gasp!
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Are you worried about me?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I'm touched~ ><
[Guild] SoSleepy: Wanna get divorced for real?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: LMAO it's a joke
Yoo Chae giggled without grasping the seriousness of the situation and sent an emoji of herself puffing up proudly.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: If you want to draw aggro, you need to put up at least that much money.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Anyway, "Sangdanghan" isn't going to die that easily, so it won't cost much.
[Guild] SoSleepy: You think he won't die that easily?
I tilted my head, remembering Sangdanghan's skill level. There's no way he's that good.
Yoo Chae must've noticed what I was thinking and added an explanation.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Well… if he's in a dungeon or just farming mobs solo, you can't kill him.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: He could just turn off PvP mode, and then it'd be impossible to kill him.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Even if people try, I bet only like three at most will manage to get a kill confirmation.
[Guild] SoSleepy: Are you sure?
[Guild] SoSleepy: What if that bastard Sangdanghan intentionally lets himself die to screw you over?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Nah, he's not smart enough for that.
I was the one who felt awkward at her firm response.
[Guild] SoSleepy: Wait.
[Guild] SoSleepy: You seriously think he's that dumb..?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Yep.
[Guild] DrinkWater: Yeah, he had a bounty put on him before.
[Guild] DrinkWater: Got wrecked in less than an hour and turned off PvP mode lol.
[Guild] SoSleepy: Damn;
[Guild] DrinkWater: I don't know if he's dumb or not—
[Guild] DrinkWater: But the dude's got insane pride, I'll give him that lmao.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: lolol
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Like you said, even if he doesn't turn off PvP and keeps getting killed on purpose, it's not a big deal.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: But he probably won't lol
What a clown show.
I sighed at Sangdanghan's utterly baffling behavior, and before I knew it, guild members who had found him were already excitedly sharing their stories.
[Guild] TheHunter: Ugh, so close
[Guild] MochaBread: Broooo, you stole the last hit LOL
[Guild] Statick: 100,000 won, GET! ^ㅡ^v
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Dude, seriously?
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: You're a working adult and you're going this hard? ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
[Guild] Statick: I am a working adult…
[Guild] Statick: That's why I went this hard.
[Guild] Haerun: LOLLLLLLLLLL
[Guild] HuntMeCrazy: Times like this really show how damn hard it is to beat an assassin;
[Guild] Hwasoun: If you're jealous, go play assassin too~
[Guild] HuntMeCrazy: Wow, funny guy you are…
[Guild] Hwasoun: LOLOLOLOL
[Guild] ManaOutGuy: Honestly, I'd rather just give up on the 100k lol
[Guild] Statick: Wow, rude much
[Guild] DrinkWater: Was Statick the first kill?
[Guild] Hwasoun: Yep.
[Guild] Hwasoun: The others haven't even found him yet.
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Told you he goes to Relta Island all the time, lol.
[Guild] MochaBread: He really was on Relta Island.
[Guild] MochaBread: Seriously, what a funny guy…
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: It's kinda cute seeing him get wrecked lol.
[Guild] Statick: Time to go upload a screenshot of the kill on the forums, hehe.
[Guild] TheHunter: You owe us a round!
[Guild] Statick: Shall I?
[Guild] Statick: For you, Hunter, I could buy you ten rounds~ not just one.
[Guild] HuntMeCrazy: Babe, what about me?
[Guild] Statick: …Who are you?
At this point, I actually started to feel a little bad for Sangdanghan. If it were me, I would've disabled PvP mode the moment the bounty was placed.
[Party] MelodyCode: lololol
[Party] MelodyCode: Wow, there's already a post with proof on the forum
[Party] MelodyCode: Serves him right lmao
'Well, he brought it on himself.'
In any case, seeing MelodyCode—who was the one most affected—feeling so satisfied made it feel worth it.
Just as Yoo Chae had predicted, it was reported that Sangdanghan lasted less than an hour before disabling PvP.
According to the guild members who had been tailing him, there were so many players swarming him that even when he respawned at the same spot, he'd be dead again in under ten seconds.
He couldn't even play the game properly, so in the end, he must've just admitted defeat.
When Yoo Chae heard that Sangdanghan had turned off PvP, she immediately took to the server chat again—like she'd been waiting for it.
[Server] Yoo Chae: Sangdanghan is on his knees begging for mercy .
[Server] Yoo Chae: I'm a bit soft-hearted, so I decided to forgive him.
[Server] Yoo Chae: If you killed him before this server chat, post a screenshot showing the kill log on the forum, and I'll send the gold via mail^^
Not even 30 minutes after the server-wide announcement, a stream of proof posts began popping up on the forum. Including Statick, five players claimed the 100 million gold bounty after fierce competition.
Watching everything unfold, I silently vowed to never become Yoo Chae's enemy—no matter what. I felt it when we first met, but now it's confirmed: that bastard is truly a crazy lunatic.
And now, I had to marry that crazy lunatic.
F**k.
＊＊＊
[DrinkWater]: Our guild leader and the newbie are getting married
[DrinkWater]: It's been set for this Saturday, lol~~!!
[ThisIsDorahee]: Wow, haha!

[Haerun]: Let's just call her a bride of autumn, haha
[ParkSeungcon]: Bride of autumn lolol
[ParkSeungcon]: Sounds kinda fancy lol
[ㅇㅇ]: Bride of autumn?
[ㅇㅇ]: What does that have to do with the season?
[DrinkWater]: Isn't there a saying for which season you get married in?
[ManaOutGuy]: Yeah, I think so?
[StatickIm]: I went to a coworker's wedding once—
[StatickIm]: They said the decorations and even the bouquet flowers change depending on the season.
[DrinkWater]: Yeah, that's why they add the season before "bride"
[DrinkWater]: Like "spring bride" or "May bride" and such
[ㅇㅇ]: So autumn is good?
[SseSseSse]: I guess autumn's decent enough
[DrinkWater]: (emoticon)

[TheHunter:] Ahh, lmaooo
[ㅇㅇ:] My husband's so cold-hearted…
[ㅇㅇ:] The bride of autumn is sad…
[SoSleepy:] ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
"Kim Yoo Chae, cut it out."
I finally spoke up after watching the group chat devolve, and Yoo Chae immediately replied with a voice so dripping with fake sincerity it was hard to listen to.
"But oppa, how could a groom call his bride a lunatic right before their wedding...?"
"Quit talking nonsense—ah, second phase."
Right now, Yoo Chae and I were on a Discord call, raiding the Black Dragon together.
It was one of the new post-prelim events—participating in the timed dragon raid could net you "Special Dragon Scales," part of a collection event.
Each raid gave up to 20 scales, and collecting 200 would let you exchange them at an event NPC for a Dragon Box, which contained random items at a decent rate.
It was a pretty typical RPG event, so participation was relatively good. More importantly, the items you could get were solid enough to make it worth grinding.
At this point, I could handle a dragon raid solo with ease. But Yoo Chae had nagged me nonstop to play together over voice chat, and that's how we ended up here.
"Okay then… hurry and decide what I asked earlier."
I dodged the shockwaves the dragon sent out by slamming its tail, using my evasion skill, and answered mid-combat.
"I already told you to do whatever you want."
Yoo Chae lazily swung her chain weapon and spoke up.
"How can I just do whatever I want?"
"Why not?"
"I have to customize it to match your ideal type, obviously."
Ideal type, my ass.
"Just go with brown hair and brown eyes or whatever."
Both Yoo Chae's and my characters were male, so one of us had to use the reincarnation system to switch to a female avatar or bring out an alt.
Since she was the one who suggested the whole marriage thing in the first place, I told her to just bring out an alt. But ever since, she'd been nagging nonstop that she wanted to customize her character to fit my "ideal type."
When I replied half-heartedly, she went quiet for a moment, then shyly spoke again.
"Brown hair and brown eyes? That matches your character."
"…What?"
"I like it..."
"..."
God, this is exhausting.
