That Guy Is This Guy

Anyone who has played AOS games or FPS games will understand that feeling when you have to team up with other people who you have only met for the first time.

'Ah! Swearing is so necessary in life.'

 

Cursing is basically a virtue in life.
A person who insults others should be cursed back.
At least that’s what I believe.

 

Of course, I don’t swear at good mannered users who are enjoying the game nicely.
The people I hate are the following:

 

1.
A person who trolls because he doesn't like me or confuses me with the enemy team.

 

2.
A person who likes to sexually harass other users.

 

3.
A guy who goes out of their way to initiate an argument with me.

 

In fact, it was annoying to list them all, so most of the time I just block those players and focus on the game.
In the case of HOL, the higher the tier, the less likely they are to swear or troll at you, because by that point you will start meeting people, who have similar tastes more and more.

 

Anyway, playing games is just like working on a group assignment so it made me immune to any kind of infighting.

 

It has been 16 years since I have played online games, starting with StarCraft, which was popular when I was in elementary school, and I have been through almost everything, so I thought there would be no more unexpected surprises.

 

[All] I'm sleepy: Are you asking me to change my username ;

 

[All] I'm sleepy: You're talking shit all of a sudden hahaha

 

[All] I'm sleepy: Do you know me? Why talk so rudely?

 

Contrary to my expectations, a bastard appeared.
I was so angry that I even got riled up.
I'm sure everyone has always encountered this kind of bastard in an RPG game to the point that you will start to ignore these kinds of people.

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: Oh…
ㄷㄷㄷ

 

[All] Let's do it: Can I get a three-line summary of what's going on here?

 

[All] Haerun: It’s just the Guild Master being Guild Master

 

[All] Haerun: End of summary in one line

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: Guild Master, the two of you know each other or something?

 

[All] Let's do it: This is already the second time

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: The difference in popularity really is something…

 

The guild members who came to play quickly turned into spectators and ate popcorn on the sidelines.
Drink some water, who had been observing the situation anxiously, rushed in.

 

[All] Drink some water: Both of you calm down

 

[All] Drink some water: I'm recruiting this year because of what happened last time was annoying

 

[All]Chae Yoo: You can add abusive language as the reason for kicking him out ㅇㅇ

 

[All] Chae Yoo: Even if the username doesn't have any problems, he couldn’t even put his act together properly lol

 

[All] Drink some water: Oh shut up ;

[All] I'm sleepy: Could you introduce yourself? hahaha

 

[All] I'm sleepy: Are you a regular customer of mine?

 

The childish spectacle continued.
It was not really flashy or anything, but that's basically what fighting in a game chat is all about.
It was a battle where the more childish you are the higher the chances of winning.
If we go any further than this, then we might end up clashing with each other after sending out our phone numbers.

 

[All] Chae Yoo: Leave, okay? ㄱ

 

[All] Drink some water: Oh, you're talking dog shit…

 

[All] Drink some water: You know that the guild needs a new member right now ;

 

[All] Drink some water: Good newbies are hard to find…

 

[All] Haeren: Is I’m sleepy good?

 

[All] Soeso: It took him less than two weeks to reach level 200 even though it’s his first time in this game ㅜㅜ

 

[All] Chae Yoo: So he leveled up quickly, it’s just that his luck is a little bit good haha

 

[All] I'm sleepy: Oh, go ahead, then

 

[All] I'm sleepy: Your tongue is very long, huh?1

 

[All] Chae Yoo: ? hahahahahaha

 

Chae Yoo laughed at me like I was stupid, but I didn't care as I was going to end this chat real soon.

 

[All] I'm sleepy: Are you scared?

 

 

I already had the PvP2 field setting turned on from the beginning.
In , the PvP between users was very active compared to other games.
It was probably because damage was a matter of skills.

 

After I reached level 100, I got out of the beginner zone and I could turn on the PvP setting at that time.
It was a system that allowed users to battle with each other at any time.

 

When I move the mouse over Chae Yoo’s character, the mouse pointer changes to an attack icon, and it seems that he also has PVP turned on.
Just looking at it, I felt like a muscle brain.

 

[All] Haerun: Ah haha no matter what, its pro vs newbie who haven't even reached their full level…heh ;

 

[All] Let's do it: Please don’t do it

 

[All] Chae Yoo: (￢ ￢)

 

[All] Let's do it: damn it

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: hahahahahahahaha

 

The golden-luster level 9 item chain, which Chae Yoo wore around his waist, was glimmering brilliantly.
This one hasn't even reached the max level, let alone have items that were strengthened.
A real ignorant bastard indeed.

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: I will do my best at being the announcer then…

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: It's a newbie who hasn't even reached the max level yet… i'm sleepy on one side

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: vs Chae Yoo, the Guild Master of the No.
1 guild in the server

 

[All] Haeren: Kyaaa let’s goooo ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

 

[All] Let's do it: When are you going to start?

 

 

Looking at the weapon, it was clear that Chae Yoo's job was Chain Blade.
Before Dark Mage was released, Chain Blade was the most difficult job to handle.

 

'Certainly… except for a couple of basic skills, they were all non-targeted skills.'

 

Non-targeted.
In other words, when focusing, most of the attacks can be avoided unlike targeted skills.
Of course, I also have an overwhelming number of non-targeted skills, so it's not advantageous for me at all.

 

In the end, it was a battle of who had better control over their skills.
Avoid the enemy's skills and match your own skills to a certain level, so that you can survive.
The difference between me and Chae Yoo is huge, so if I get hit once, I'll be done in five moves.

 

After stretching the fingers of both hands and readying the weapon, the opponent attacked first.
Instinctively, by pressing the evasion skill, my character rolled over the ground to avoid the attacks.

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: Oh?

 

Boom! Every time Chae Yoo whipped his chain, lightning struck from the sky.
Evasion skills also have a cooldown, so I had to wait 7 seconds to use them again.
I narrowly avoided a direct attack and fired a quick-cast Ice Bolt.

 

 

As expected, Chae Yoo did not get even a single hit.
Still, Ice Bolt was a pretty fast skill.
Unlike me, who avoided using the evade skill, I got a sense of how skilled that person was when I saw him dodging without even using a skill.

 

I turned on the moving-casting spell, a skill that uses advanced magic while moving my character and started charging the ice spear spell.
The required time to cast the spell is 15 seconds.

 

Crush!

 

“Oh.”

 

As soon as I thought I'd somehow hold out for 15 seconds while casting, a chain swung right towards my character.
Tsk, I barely managed to dodge the attacks that came in succession by clicking my tongue and hastily using evasive skills.

 

In that one shot, half of my stamina flew away after he tried to attack me.

 

I sense that I wouldn’t be able to hold on after the 5th one…
If that's the case, just one more hit and it's over.

 

[All] Haeren: The battle is really crazy…

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: That final moment was impressive, but it seems that the battle is not looking good for I’m sleepy? It’s because sleepy-nim is a person who only knows how to use skills lawfully

 

The witnesses had already predicted my defeat.
I twisted the corners of my mouth and smiled.

 

If I was thinking that I would lose, then I wouldn't even be fighting here in the first place.
I concentrated intensively and avoided every attack that was pouring out without a break while also checking the ice spear spell charging gauge in my spare time.

 

95%, 96%, 97%.

 

Just a little bit more.

 

98%, 99%.

 

100%.
All gauges were filled with blue.
Finally, I used the evasion skill to roll on ground and without a moment of delay I drew the Ice Spear into the air.

 

[All] Soeso: ㅅㅅㅅ3

Since the Ice Spear Spell was a targeted skill, it can never be avoided.
The character of Chae Yoo, who was excitedly swinging the chain, was wrapped in ice and stiffened.
The damage itself was weak, but it was a skill that can bind the opponent for 5 seconds.

 

“Five seconds is enough.”

 

As soon as I confirmed that the opponent was caught, I started charging the fireball spell by mashing the buttons repeatedly.

 

It was the highest ranked skill among the ones I have and has the strongest damage.
It has a big drawback that the character cannot move while charging, but there was no need to worry as Chae Yoo was frozen by the ice spear.

 

Charging the fireball takes 5.3 seconds.
The ice sphere lasts for 5 seconds.
Even if there was a period of 0.3 seconds to escape, it cannot be avoided because the fireball range was quite wide.

 

It’s my win! Five seconds had passed and I threw the fireball at Chae Yoo, who was just released from the ice spear.
‘Even if you don't die with this one shot, there will hardly be any health left, so if I just use a skill with a fast-casting spell…………’

 

As I was about to cast a sub-skill in case of an unforeseen situation, I spotted a chain that was shot towards my character.

 

Ahh! I instinctively pressed the evade skill in a hurry, but it didn't activate because there were still 2 seconds of cooldown time left.

 

Clutch! As the fireball was exhausted, a chain pierced my character's heart.

 

[All] Haeren: Wow, how is it????

 

[All] Let's do it: What happened?

 

On the opposite side of my character who fell to the floor, Chae Yoo had barely survived with 10% of his health left.

 

As I looked at the gray screen, I sighed and wiped the corners of my eyes.

 

I was careless.
Even afterwards, I was hoping that I could still attack without giving up in that situation.
Of course, I had to consider it though…

 

'Have I become a fool after taking a break from games for nearly 4 months……’

 

It was a disappointing battle in many ways.
Oh, if only I had reached level 210, the result would have been different.

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: Sleepy-nim, that newbie was actually really good, right?

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: I'm surprised ;

 

[All] Drink some water: If I’m being honest, I thought I was having a heart-attack with how intense this battle was

 

[All] Haeren: Me too

 

Drink some water used a resurrection item on me.
Until then, Chae Yoo, who was quietly drinking potions to heal himself, gave a comment.

 

[All] Chae Yoo: Not bad

 

[All] Park Seung-jin 99: It's crazy to be able to avoid that without using a skill break LOL

 

[All] Haerun: Even I, who has been doing this since beta, wouldn’t be able to avoid that

 

[All] Let's do it: That's your finger problem

 

[All] Soeso: It’s a skill he gained from HOL

 

[All] Haerun: He plays HOL too?

[All] I'm sleepy: I guess partially

 

Being annoyed, I answered roughly and drank the recovery potions.

 

I lost the battle, so I have to leave the guild.
It's not funny to continue to be in this kind of situation.

 

Just when I thought I found a good guild too, but I know when to step out.
This was all because of Kim Dae-seok.

 

[All] Drink some water: oo that’s right

 

[All] Drink some water: He used to be a top ranker in every season too

 

[All] Chae Yoo: What?

 

It was then that Chae Yoo, who had been indifferent to the conversation, gained an interest in me.

 

[All] Chae Yoo: He plays HOL?

 

[All] Chae Yoo: Hero of Legends?

 

[All] Drink some water: ?

 

[All] Chae Yoo: You are a HOL top ranker?

 

 

“……?”

 

 

What, what's wrong with him all of a sudden?

 

[All] I'm sleepy: Yeah

 

[All] Chae Yoo: How about your username?

 

[All] Chae Yoo: Could your username in HOL be ‘I’m sleepy’ as well??

 

Now I have to say something as a reply.

 

Oh mom, I'm scared of this bastard.
I guess he really knows me there…………

 

[All] I'm sleepy: ?? ;

 

[All] I'm sleepy: If I say yes, then what are you going to do about it…
