As we arrived at the officiant NPC at the very back of the venue, a dialogue script popped up.
[Father Gregorio: On this beautiful day, the bride and groom step forward toward a happy future in front of all of you.]
[Father Gregorio: The bride and groom promise to always do their best for each other in times of hardship or sorrow, joy or delight.]
[Father Gregorio: Do you vow to cherish and love one another sincerely, just as you do now, forevermore?]
As I casually sipped my cola and skimmed the dialogue, a system message popped up above the chat window.
Please type one of the following in the chat: "Yes," "I do," or "I swear."
So annoying. "I swear" is too long, and "I do" requires the shift key. I went with the simplest option: "Yes."
[Global] SoSleepy: Yes
[Global] SleepyImji: Yesss
[Global] SleepyImja: I do
[Global] SleepyImja: I swear
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: What the heck LOLLLLL
[Global] Haeren: Is that nerves or peak roleplay mode?
[Father Gregorio: Thank you for your answers, bride and groom.]
[Father Gregorio: I conclude the ceremony with blessings for your future.]
[Father Gregorio: May the groom, SoSleepy, and the bride, SleepyImja, find happiness.]
DANG, DANG—! The large golden bell behind the NPC shook as fireworks exploded in the background. At the same time, system messages flooded the screen.
Achievement unlocked!
Achievement: Experience Marriage Once
Family tab is now active!
Title unlocked.
Wedding-exclusive buff items "Wedding Ring" and "Necklace" have been given. Wearing both grants additional buffs.
I opened my inventory, and sure enough, the ring and necklace were there.
"Damage and EXP buffs? Not bad."
The buffs were even better than expected, so I equipped them immediately.
Yuchae must've done the same, because a sparkling glow swept past us at the same time—a sign that the buff had activated.
[Global] SleepyImja: Hey hey
[Global] SleepyImja: Change your title too!
Yuchae changed her title to "Bride of SoSleepy" and started pestering me.
So I guess I'm "Groom of SleepyImja" now? Ugh… not really a fan.
[Global] TheHunter: Can we PvP now??
[Global] Hwasoun: First strike wins!
[Global] TheHunter: You're insane
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: Take it outside
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: ??
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: Did you just hit me?? -_-
[Global] Haeren: If you leave now,
[Global] Haeren: you can't get back in
[Global] ManaOutMan: Kill the healer first~
[Global] HuntMeCrazy: Damn ranged freaks
[Global] Let'sPlayPattycake: Wait—LOL hang on
[Global] ParkSeungjin99: Can I use potions?
[Global] SoyMarinatedCrab: How dare you use potions in the sacred arena
[Global] Starek: Fr lol just die hahaha
[Global] MelodyChord: Why are we even getting hit;;;
[Global] Unyum: LOLLLLLL
[Global] SwordPrincess: Do weddings always end like this?
[Global] SoaeSo: OMG scared me
[Global] ReReRekLag: Wait, Berserker incoming; hold on
As soon as the wedding ended, all the guests who had been barely holding back out of politeness exploded into chaotic PvP combat.
I just stared at the chaos, dumbfounded, until a glowing white arrow flew at me—and I dodged it with an evasion skill.
[Global] PureMedSchool: Ugh -_-;
[Global] PureMedSchool: How do you even dodge that??
[Global] PureMedSchool: You using hacks??
Hacks, in an RPG? Give me a break. I was about to ignore him out of laziness, but then—
[Global] SleepyImja: Bro..
[Global] SleepyImja: You're not wearing the title?
[Global] SoSleepy: LOL it's just skill
[Global] SoSleepy: You can do it too if you just try harder ^^
Nope. Can't leave that unanswered. This guy PureMedSchool showed up at the perfect time.
[Global] SleepyImja: Bro, the title…
Ignoring Yuchae, who kept clinging to the title with strange persistence, I dove headfirst into the battlefield. Dodging incoming skills with precise control, I launched attacks of my own.
[Global] FreeGiveaway: Ugh, it's so chaotic with two Dark Mages here…
[Global] MochaBread: I still don't know all the Dark Mage skills LOL
[Global] Haeren: Same here LOL
[Global] SoSleepy: What are you talking about? Summoners are way worse.
There were so many summons crowding around MochaBread the Summoner that it was hard to even move. As expected of a class that's both easy to play and powerful, just like the Spearmaster.
[Global] ReReRekLag: Help meeee
[Global] ReReRekLag: Why are you doing this to me
[Global] Unyum: It's just the way it is…
[Global] Unyum: A Berserker only targets one person hehe
[Global] GooGooOtter: This is a total mess LOL
[Global] ManaOutMan: I can't even tell who's hitting me anymore;
KRACK! BOOM! CRASH! With all kinds of sound effects, the map cracked open, flames spread, and lightning rained down—flashing effects lit up the screen.
With nearly 30 users crammed into a small indoor space all fighting PvP, it was impossible to tell where the next skill would come from.
[Global] Haeren: Hey guys
[Global] Haeren: I know it's fun fighting each other and all
[Global] Haeren: But shouldn't we all give the bride and groom their "congratulatory beatdown"?
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: Oh?
[Global] FreeGiveaway: Preach
[Global] MelodyChord: For real
[Global] MelodyChord: I already had some beef with the groom anyway LOL
[Global] SoaeSo: LOL same here
[Global] Unyum: I'm on the bride's side hehe
[Global] Starek: Can't believe we almost forgot the congratulatory beatdown hehe
[Global] SpicyCrabChomp: Haeren, your brain is insane
[Global] SpicyCrabChomp: Are you from Harvard or what?
[Global] ParkSeungjin99: Nah, more like birdbrain LOL
The crowd that had been gleefully fighting suddenly turned their attention to me and Yuchae. Spotting Yuchae standing alone behind everyone else, I quickly jumped in front of her and typed in chat:
[Global] SoSleepy: Ganging up is lame, guys ┐─ㅡㅡ┌
[Global] MochaBread: Heh heh…
[Global] MochaBread: That's a great shot, bro.
[Global] TheHunter: Couples? Delete them.
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: This is our chance.
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: Hand over Yuchae's alt and we'll spare you.
[Global] MelodyChord: It's time for sweet, sweet revenge ^^*
[Global] Unyum: Rumor has it the guildmaster's weak alt is here tonight…
God, what even is this concept? I glanced at Yuchae's alt character—still saying nothing, likely AFK—and hesitated for a moment.
Even in a game… isn't ditching your bride and running away right after the wedding kind of… trashy?
While I hesitated, the impulsive ReReRekLag charged in first.
"Seriously? Coming at me with that low health?"
They must've taken quite a few hits already in the chaos, because their HP was down by half. I easily dodged their incoming skill.
Same as PureMedSchool—why do Sharp Shooters always rush in brainlessly like this? No need for a complex combo—just used a bind followed by my strongest W skill, and ReReRekLag collapsed to the ground, dead.
[Global] ReReRekLag: Whoa
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: What are you doing??
[Global] ParkSeungjin99: Yeah, you're the bird LOL
[Global] ReReRekLag: This was my first time fighting a Dark Mage, okay;;
[Global] MelodyChord: LOLLLLLL
[Global] PureMedSchool: I TOLD you, Dark Mage damage is busted;;
[Global] ReReRekLag: Seriously… something's off
[Global] ReReRekLag: SoSleepy, you using hacks?
[Global] SoSleepy: Why do y'all keep accusing me of hacking LOL
[Global] Haeren: There are people from other guilds here too, you know…
[Global] Haeren: So embarrassing
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: Seriously…
ReReRekLag had been easy to take down because they rushed in without thinking, but the others were the real problem.
They had Haeren the healer, DrinkSomeWater the tank, and even Dorahee the buffer—there's no way I could win this on my own.
"Guess it's time to run."
Screw the bride or whatever—Yuchae's the real veteran here, not me. Why should I stick around?
Just as I gave up and was about to use a teleport scroll to escape—
SLAM! THUD!
The chapel doors—previously shut tight because no one else could enter—suddenly burst open. A familiar figure stepped inside.
A character wearing a black robe, with a golden chain at their waist.
It was Yuchae.
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: ???
[Global] TheHunter: Huh?
[Global] Haeren: Wait, how did the guildmaster even get in here?
[Global] HuntMeCrazy: Must've used the invitation.
Ignoring all the guild members trying to acknowledge her, Yuchae suddenly started swinging her chain with fierce intensity.
[Global] DrinkSomeWater: Ah
[Global] Unyum: ?????
[Global] FreeGiveaway: What the hell, that damage
[Global] MochaBread: ??
[Global] Haeren: Aaaaack~
[Global] Starek: Whoa
[Global] Hwasoun: Holy sh*t I almost died
[Global] SoaeSo: What even hit me that I died instantly??
Only a few with high defense or fast reactions managed to survive Yuchae's sweeping chain attack. The rest were obliterated or left in a groggy state.
Within just two minutes of showing up to the venue, Yuchae had wiped out or incapacitated half the attendees. She calmly walked over to me.
[Global] Yuchae: Party, bro
[Global] SoSleepy: What the
[Global] SoSleepy: How did you even get in?
I opened the party invite window, and she joined immediately, responding:
[Party] Yuchae: I'm on two computers.
[Party] Yuchae: Party Bind request, please.
Just like during our old dragon raids, I sent the Bind request. Yuchae stepped up, wrapped her arm around my waist, and bound her chain to a pillar in the distance—then zipped us across the hall straight to the front door.
[Global] Yuchae: LOL
[Global] Yuchae: Cya nerds
While holding me, she used a teleport scroll and vanished. The moment the two of us disappeared, the guild chat exploded.
[Guild] Haeren: WHAT JUST HAPPENED????
[Guild] TheHunter: Um excuse me, how are you both just GONE like that?
[Guild] DrinkSomeWater: This is killing me LOL
[Guild] ThisIsDorahee: So romantic, hahaha
[Guild] Starek: What even is this gay ending LOLLLL
[Party] ReReRekLag: Gay ending, I'm dying LOLLL
[Guild] SpicyCrabChomp: Looks like the groom ditched the bride for another dude LOL
[Guild] ManaOutMan: GAAAAAAYY LOLLL
[Guild] Hwasoun: Damn I should've recorded that, missed my shot
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99:
[SoaeSo:] What the hell are you doing, seriously?
[SoaeSo:] Your friend's dead cold on the floor back there.
[SoaeSo:] And you're off with another guy on your wedding day? LMAO —_—
[MelodyChord:] This is beyond imagination
[MelodyChord:] Caught the groom cheating at the wedding, bravo~
God, what a mess. Everything had happened so fast, I hadn't even processed it properly.
Next thing I knew, we were at the Feroco Lighthouse. I checked—and saw that Yuchae's alt had already logged out.
"When the hell did she swap to her main?"
[Party] SoSleepy: You were already on your main that whole time??
[Party] Yuchae: Yep LOL
[Party] Yuchae: Figured those assholes would try that 'congratulatory beatdown' crap
[Party] Yuchae: I got here pretty quick though, right? hehe
So she brought her main account here expecting this?
"Is this chick actually insane?"
Even as I thought that, I couldn't help laughing. I leaned back in my chair, hand covering my mouth, letting it all sink in.
After a pause, I placed my hands back on the keyboard.
[Party] Yuchae: So, bro…
[Party] Yuchae: What about the title?
[Party] SoSleepy: Kim Yuchae.
[Party] Yuchae: …Yeah?
[Party] SoSleepy: What's your number?
