Chapter 10: 9

[All] Phohong: Hahahahahaha is it Early Evening again?

 

[All] White fox: What a bummer

 

[All] Water eating hippo: Looks like their Gil-ma has anger issues again

 

[All] Dragon dragon: Ah, a sweet match

 

[All] Oh Lovebird: But isn’t our One Heart One Will guild on good terms with the Early Evening guild?

 

[All] John’s tasty beef restaurant: Cassak Bread1 go go go ㄱㄱ ㄱㄱ

 

The whole chat went into an uproar at the sudden declaration of guild war. Unlike me, who was dazed and stiff, the Gilma, who managed to gain back reason, spoke quickly.

 

[Guild] Unyum: ㄷㄷ;;

 

[Guild] Unyum: Everyone, please press hold off with the voting for now

 

[Guild] Beecher: Gil-ma

 

[Guild] Beecher: So, we’re not going to war, are we?

 

[Guild] Popabam: ㄹㅇreally.. we better evade war

 

[Guild] Popabam: vs Early Evening, we would be robbed like dogs...

 

[Guild] Jang-hoon: Then what else is the point of doing this again haha 

 

[Guild] Jang-hoon: It’s not that, right?

 

[Guild] Soeso: OX It’s not like them to go to the extent of doing this dog shit

 

[Guild] Soeso: I feel like I’m going to be robbed of my inner core lol

 

[Guild] Jang-hoon: ? 

 

[Guild] The greatness of chicken: Early Evening why?

 

[Guild] Unyum: I’ll go and find out

 

[Guild] Seol Ji-hye: then go lol

 

[Guild] Seol Ji-hye: I was beaten up at that one time, and I’m terrified now 

 

I watched the situation unfold with my hands prone on the keyboard, I frowned at a sudden thought.

 

“No way…………”

 

‘Do you think it’s…? It probably isn’t.’ An ominous speculation suddenly surfaced, and a chill ran down my spine.

 

‘Wake up.’

 

Anyway, there’s no way I’m that precious or something. To declare a guild war because of a newbie you’ve only known for a week? And it’s to the only friendly guild you have?

 

I laughed out loud at the absurd thought. This is called being too self-conscious. It shouldn’t be like that.

 

[Party] Unyum: I’m

 

[Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim

 

[Party] Unyum: I’m sorry about the Raid;;

 

[Party] Unyum: I don’t think we can do it right now

 

Resolving my confusion, I quickly moved my stiff fingers to answer.

 

[Party] I’m sleepy:  no no

 

[Party] I’m sleepy: I understand.

 

[Party] I’m sleepy:  it’s okay

 

[Party] Unyum: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 

I could feel the embarrassment that Unyum felt even through the high-pitched monitor. What’s going on, really.

 

I couldn’t say anything recklessly because I don’t know how guild wars are fought and progressed, but seeing the reactions of the guild members, it doesn’t seem like a normal thing.

 

‘More than that, if there’s even a vote system, isn’t it possible to not go to war?’

 

It doesn’t mean that we have to unconditionally accept the invitation to war. While looking at Unyum, who was struggling to get things right, I poked Kim Dae-seok.

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: Hey so

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Hm?

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: Can’t we just refuse the vote all together?

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: What’s all the fuss about?

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Oh, this is...

 

[Whisper] Soeso: A bit more complicated than you think

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: What is it?

 

After the chat, Kim Dae-seok became quiet. He seemed to have some reason, so I waited quietly to hear it.

 

[Guild] Kyokyokyoko: It’s time to go on a raid;

 

[Guild] Kyokyokyoko: I was in a hurry, so I pressed hold for now;;

 

[Guild] Kyokyokyoko: How’s it going with Early Evening Gilma??

 

[Guild] Unyum: There’s no answer ㅠㅠ

 

[Guild] Unyum: Ah, for reals what’s happening..

 

[Guild] Popabam: Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake or something?

 

[Guild] Seol Ji-hye: No, not even

 

[Guild] Seol Ji-hye: I am sure that it was a joke from the number one guild or something as it was so sudden

 

[Guild] Jang-hoon: ㅇㅈ No manners

 

Like the buzzing guild atmosphere, the entire chat was cluttered. The players seemed to be very excited at the rice cake thrown at a boring time.

 

[All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ

 

[All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ

 

[All] Angel Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ

 

[All] PCTa: how many times has Early Evening applied for war?

 

[All] When the engine is peeled off: Continuous attacks doesn’t make harm

 

[All] granduca: it’s not the Fever Guild?

 

[All] granduca: Suddenly, why One Heart One Will?

 

[All] Pebble Class: Azon or not, Groak Four sec Early Evening Carvings 2

 

[All] Angel’s Anchor: Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ Cassak Breadㄱ

 

[All] Pa-seok: Is this not the 3rd time?

 

[All] Take a special lecture: Let’s give it a shot

 

[All] Liu Bei Guan-Woo: King Chiman,, Yoo Chae-chan is a Gwanjong,, 3

 

[All] Park Destiny: Blood,, fool,,,,

 

[All] Knock knock: Ah don’t do it

 

[All] Independence Fighter: hahaha

 

Watching the chat going crazy all over the place gave me a headache, so I turned the whole channel tab out of sight. As long as the guild war declaration was released on all channels, it was understandable that the resulting wave was not small. Early Evening is the number one guild, so the guild it is competing with must be huge as well.

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Sorry, I suddenly got a call from my mom

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, what was this about?

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Rejecting is possible but

 

[Whisper] Soeso: If you reject the same guild 3 times

 

[Whisper] Soeso: It’s considered as a defeat

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: ??

 

[Whisper] Soeso: 3 rejections → 1 defeat ㅇㅇ

 

[Whisper] Soeso: If we lose a battle,

 

[Whisper] Soeso: A lot of our guild places will be taken away

 

[Whisper] Soeso: If you make a mistake, your level will drop, and you have to do stuff again.

 

I tilted my head to Kim Dae-seok’s explanation. So, even if you reject this guild war, if Early Evening recklessly declares war two more times, you can refuse and lose, or start the war and lose, right?

 

‘Of course, if you just start the war, then if Early Evening loses and One heart, One Will wins...………’

 

Considering Yoo Chae’s skills and the amount of damage he deals during raids, plus the skills of their guild members, the likelihood of that happening was remarkably low.

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: Hey, this system is a bit weird;

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: Isn’t it only good for top guilds?

 

[Whisper] Soeso: But the number of guild proposals is limited for each guild.

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Five times a year...

 

[Whisper] Soeso: If I remember correctly, For Early Evening, this is their 3rd war this year

 

[Whisper] Soeso: So, it’s a waste of time for them to use up their two remaining chances

 

[Whisper] Soeso: In terms of gaining, it’s better to defeat another guild than ours

 

[Whisper] Soeso: If we are at war the second time with the same guild, we wouldn’t be able to kill them

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: So, there’s a chance that the other 2 chances would be used later.

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Hahaha that’s right

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, this is something tacit among the guild masters.

 

You are reading story That Guy Is This Guy at novel35.com

[Whisper] Soeso: We don’t really get along until we are in need of each other

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Long story short, it is unconditionally known by the public

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Even if you win, doing the war itself is troublesome and you will have to deal with a lot of damage

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Let that idea go before we decide if we go on war

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Let’s not go far as to meet them before the war either~ It would be troublesome

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: oo

 

[Whisper] Soeso: It’s always Early Evening to use it all up first haha ㅋㅋ

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Most guilds don’t even use their 5 times

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Early Evening is the only guild who uses it up at the beginning of every year hahaha

 

“……”

 

So, in the end, the Early Evening guild is the problem itself.

 

Since there is a high probability that they will only harm each other, the guild wars that are implicitly avoided are also limited to five times a year, and they use it to openly brag about their strength to guilds weaker than themselves.

 

‘I didn’t think it would go so far to even have these trashy kinds of rules.’

 

I remembered the experience of doing the dragon raid while exchanging conversations with a microphone. It’s also true that they gave me items and took good care of me, so it made me feel very uncomfortable that I had been doing things like that on the Internet.

 

I was in the wrong guild, and they even said that I was good friends with the Guild master.

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: I understand a little bit why they were reluctant about the guild war

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Well, but that’s not all

 

[Whisper] Soeso: There are some things that are a way off.

 

[Whisper] Soeso: First of all, ranked near Early Evening, I’m not familiar with the guild called Fever.

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: Fever?

 

[Whisper] Soeso: ㅇㅇ

 

[Whisper] Soeso: They don’t have much to do with us lolol

 

[Whisper] Soeso: It’s crazy that they go and try to defeat Early Evening as if they were really sick.

 

[Whisper] Soeso: It seems like they tried it twice with early evening this year and both ended in loss, so they still have a long way to go

 

Fever Guild. I feel like I have seen it somewhere before.

 

I immediately opened the guild window and typed Fever into the search bar.

 

[3. Fever | Guild Level: Grand | Inn circle: 233 | Guild leader: Significant]

 

It’s the 3rd best guild on the server. It was then that I remembered the name of the guild as I saw often in the chart.

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Anyway, why did you ask all of a sudden?

 

[Whisper] Soeso: Are you saying that we’re the ones that did the bad thing?

 

[Whisper] I’m sleepy: It’s because I didn’t know about the war stuff in this game, so I asked

 

After hearing Kim Dae-seok’s explanation, I couldn’t understand the behavior of Early Evening even more. They must have guilds that they have a bad relationship with, so the matter of guild war proposals must be quite important.

 

Judging by Unyum’s reaction, it doesn’t seem like it’s an event that can just be overlooked...………

 

[Guild] Unyum: Hmm;

 

[Guild] Unyum: Guys, listen up

 

[Guild] Unyum: Everyone can do it now

 

[Guild] Unyum: Yoo Chae-nim didn’t give an answer

 

[Guild] Seol Ji-hye: Yes

 

[Guild] Popabam: Yep

 

[Guild] Kyokyokyoko: ㅇㅋㅇ

 

[Guild] I’m sleepy: Yes

 

After trying to contact the Guild Master of Early Evening for over 30 minutes, Unyum finally gave up that approach with a sigh. As the person in question does not give an answer, he will have no choice but to make a decision.

 

Early Evening, the one that started the guild war, did not show any response, the entire chat quickly withered.

 

[Party] Unyum: Sleepy-nim

 

[Party] Unum: I’m sorry, as soon as you entered the guild, ㅜㅜ

 

[Party] I’m sleepy: No, please don’t worry about me

 

After a while, I came out of the party to go on a hunting quest in a slightly awkward atmosphere. Whatever it is, if there’s any problem, I can just post it in the guild chat. Until then, I’ll have to level up.

 

[All] I’m sleepy: I’ll go and do a quest

 

[All] Unyum: okay

 

[All] Soeso: ㅠㅠ

 

I opened the inventory and rediscovered the scroll that I had not used because of the guild war vote. And right at the moment I was going to use it.

 

[Server] Yoo Chae: Hello this is Early Evening’s Guild Master.

 

“……?”

 

A large, bright red text appeared at the top of the game screen. It seems that a ‘gigantic loudspeaker’ was being used, it was a cash item priced at 6,900 won each and was a chat message that was released to all channels within the server.

 

[Guild] Seol Ji-hye: ???

 

[Guild] Soeso: oo Eh?

 

[Guild] Kyokyokyoko: What the heck?

 

[Guild] Beecher: ?

 

[All] Commander-in-Chief: What the fuck hahahahahaha

 

[All] Hatcher: Greetingsㄷㄷ what is the Guild Master of a huge guild doing here?

 

[All] Make it dazzling: Kyaaaah Yoo Chae Oppa

 

[All] Bong-Joon Bong-Joon: Blegh

 

The fact that Yoo Chae, who did not respond to Unyum’s desperate message at all, used a gigantic loudspeaker, or Megaphone for short, started to run rampant again, not only in the guild chat, but also in the entire global chat that had barely faded.

 

[Server] Yoo Chae: Sorry for the sudden guild war.

 

[Server] Yoo Chae: We had no choice but to do it.

 

[Server] Yoo Chae: It’s because the guild took away something very important from us.

 

To my surprise, the moment I saw that, the next chat popped up in my head. It was such a bizarre thought, and at the same time, it was very fucking disgusting.

 

No way, no way… it’s not, right? Please………

 

[Server] Yoo Chae: Please return our Sleepy Hyung that you took

 

[Server] Yoo Chae: Until then, the guild war will continue

 

“Oh, shit.”

 

[Server] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung, come back..I will do better....cri

 

As soon as the last message was posted, I couldn’t take it any longer, and buried my face in both of my hands.

TL Note:

 

1 [Cassak Bread] is a gaming term in which players fight and the loser deletes their character, essentially resetting all their progress. Also known as a Character Deletion Duel. A battle to the death or something equivalent in the gaming world.

 

2 It’s from an idiom there’s also this phrase that came on related.

→Azon: an aerial bomb that can be guided to the left or right by radio control (Radio control = Yoo Chae)

then noae means not

Groak → According to Novobatzky and Shea, a groak is someone who stares at you fixedly while you are eating. ; Groak, pronounced as “Grohk” refers to the act of staring at someone while they’re eating, hoping that they’ll give you some of the food. ; To Groak is to look longingly after some wanted object, and specifically, to longingly watch someone while they eat in the hope of being invited to join them. ;

 

 

 (King Chiman) = seems to more like taking everything; = kinda refers to drops, like in games where things drop from chara. It’s an idiom at the end of the day. ‘,^^

Gwangjong of Goryeo is most famous for his military prowess and his role in the unification of the three Korean kingdoms.  something like this; an idiom or a metaphor.
