<To ‘Proud Daughters Guild~ Korea’ Members ^^ of the> Author: SoldierAfrica | Views: 3,429

Hello~ This is SoldierAfrica from Endless, the #1 guild in Zelpia ^^~ I’m not here for any big reason~ I just remember we had a little chat when we met on the Battlegrounds recently~ But it seems like you haven’t kept the promise you made to us~ haha; It’s a bit beneath us to fight a low-ranking guild, but guild promises should be kept, shouldn’t they? ^^~ As of today, a Kill-on-Sight (KOS) order has been issued against all members of the ‘Proud Daughters of Korea’ guild. ^^ It might be a bit exhausting for you to walk around~ We’ll lift the order whenever you decide to keep your promise. ^^ We always keep our word~

• AlranggaMolla: ㅇㅅㅇ;;;; I don’t know what happened, but I hope it gets resolved.
• Dofaling: Whoa, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a KOS order;;
• Beogwallo97: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You should’ve just kept your promise.
• 66love99: Promises between guilds are important… I hope the other guild reflects on their actions. …

Wait, when did we ever make a “promise”? No matter how I looked at it, we were just one-sidedly insulted and then given a one-sided notification. The sheer audacity of the post—written entirely to suit their own narrative—was baffling. But as I scrolled down, I hit a section where the comments were absolutely exploding.

[Comments] …

• Sephiroth: Seems like you’ve forgotten the taste of my axe lately. You’ve lost your mind.
  • SeolSeolSeol: ?????????? Is this the real one?
  • kjfkag: Omg it’s really him.
  • 847Eight: Just here for the pilgrimage.
  • SephirothILoveYou: Snap (Screenshot)
  • SoldierAfrica: You’re as ill-mannered as ever, I see~ ^^
    • Sephiroth: You don’t even know what “promise” means, do you think you understand “manners”?
      • SoldierAfrica: Don’t pick a fight. ^^
        • Sephiroth: lol Endless picked the fight, I’m just responding. Look forward to it.
          • YMKETa: Is this the aura of the Tyrant? ㅋㅋㅋ
          • KidyuKidyu: Waiting with my popcorn.
          • Jasin: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Endless vs. Sephiroth, been a while.
          • SoldierAfrica: You should only say things you can take responsibility for. ^^ㅎ Seen you lately, looks like your skills have rusted.

What on earth? Is he in the middle of a real-time keyboard battle right now? In disbelief, I refreshed the page. A new comment from Sephiroth had just appeared.

• Sephiroth: [Photo] (It was a screenshot of SoldierAfrica and Beogwallo97 lying as cold corpses on the ground in front of Sephiroth.)

[Guild] PungPungLove: Uh…

[Guild] JujiyukLim: Looks like we’ve accidentally gotten dragged into a guild war.

[Guild] ParkJinSol: PVP? Sweet.

[Guild] JujiyukLim: Is this really going to be okay?

[Guild] NasiGoreng: Excuse me, I’m literally dying of unfairness right now, what do you mean “okay”!!!!!!!

[Guild] NasiGoreng: We HAVE to win!!!!!!!!!!

[Guild] BuffNinjaPls: Exactly.

[Guild] BuffNinjaPls: I can use this chance to promote the Ninja class.

[Guild] NasiGoreng: Do you want to die?

[Guild] ParkJinSol: Seriously, Ninja, you and your roleplaying… ㅡㅡ

Won-jae hyung looked quite worried, but Jin-sol, NasiGoreng, and the Ninja were aggressively bellicose. NasiGoreng, burning with fighting spirit, let her eyes sparkle.

[Guild] NasiGoreng: Sephiroth-nim, are you there?

[Guild] NasiGoreng: Do you, by any chance, like guild wars?

[Guild] Sephiroth: ?

[Guild] NasiGoreng: I was thinking maybe you could give it a go this time.

Sephiroth’s reply was fast; he had clearly been watching this chaotic chat. NasiGoreng chatted him up with surprising friendliness—a total 180 from when she first panicked about how we could possibly let a “psychopath” like him into the guild.

[Guild] Sephiroth: If you want to, go ahead.

[Guild] Sephiroth: I won’t stop you.

[Guild] NasiGoreng: You’ll help us, right?

[Guild] Sephiroth: If it’s fun.

Are we actually doing this? As I watched the chat with a mix of dread and curiosity, Han Gyu-tae—who had been AFK for ages—suddenly chimed in.

[Guild] HitMeOnceOppa: Won-jae hyung, whisper me for a sec.

[Guild] JujiyukLim: Why?

[Guild] HitMeOnceOppa: It’s urgent.

[Guild] JujiyukLim: Hold on.

Then, both of them went silent. In the main chat, Jin-sol and NasiGoreng began a serious debate on how to defeat Endless. Is it even possible to beat the #1 ranked guild? They were comparing the combat power of our main players so intensely that I couldn’t find a gap to join in.

[Guild] BuffNinjaPls: Training will be required.

I had to admire the Ninja’s commitment to his bit even in this situation. After a long silence from the two “leaders,” Won-jae hyung finally spoke up cautiously.

[Guild] JujiyukLim: Um.

[Guild] JujiyukLim: We’ve decided to take in one more new member.

[Guild] NasiGoreng: Huh?

[Guild] BuffNinjaPls: A Ninja?

[Guild] JujiyukLim: Not a Ninja.

[Guild] BuffNinjaPls: Disappointing.

[Guild] Eiron: Then who? ㅇㅅㅇ?

[Guild] Eiron: Are they around my age? ㅇㅅㅇ?

[Guild] JujiyukLim: We decided not to take any more minors besides you, haha.

[Guild] Eiron: Ack, why?! ㅠㅅㅠ

Eiron used a crying emoticon. Come to think of it, I had never actually played with Eiron. Judging by the way they talked, they seemed like an immature kid; I wondered if they were actually good at the game.

Won-jae hyung didn’t answer Eiron. Instead, he must have clicked the “Accept” button for the new member, because a notification popped up immediately.

[Guild] AngelA: Hello. ^^

[Guild] Eiron: ?????????

[Guild] JujiyukLim: This is our new guild member.

[Guild] AngelA: My name is AngelA. I joined through HitMeOnceOppa’s recommendation. Please take care of me.

What in the world is happening? Unable to hide my confusion, I quickly shot a whisper to Gyu-tae.

[Whisper] BlueberryWhiskey: Hey, you.

[Whisper] BlueberryWhiskey: What is this?

[Whisper] HitMeOnceOppa: Heh… that’s how it turned out.

[Whisper] HitMeOnceOppa: f*ck, we can’t lose to those arrogant pricks.

[Whisper] HitMeOnceOppa: Don’t you agree? ㅡㅡ

Why is he the one getting all worked up? While I was chatting with Gyu-tae, the guild chat fell into a brief silence. Everyone was probably busy firing off whispers like I was. Unable to bear the awkwardness, Won-jae hyung nudged the group.

[Guild] JujiyukLim: Everyone?

Before the ink on the chat could even dry, NasiGoreng went into full-throttle fan mode.

[Guild] NasiGoreng: HELLO!!!!!!

[Guild] NasiGoreng: Angel-nim, I am such a huge fan personally!!!!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ!!!!!!

[Guild] NasiGoreng: Thank you so, so much for joining our guild!!!!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ!!!! I’ll live a good life from now on!!!!!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] NasiGoreng: HitMe-nim, I will treat you so well from now on. Why didn’t you tell me you were close with Angel-nim? Anyway, thank you for inviting her now!!!!!!!!!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

…You were a fan? I knew from Gyu-tae and Seong-jin that famous Zelpia players had fans, but I never expected to witness a “fan meets star” moment right in front of me. I had no idea she liked AngelA that much.

[Guild] ParkJinSol: Hi.

[Guild] ParkJinSol: Look forward to working with you.

[Guild] Eiron: ㄷㄷ;;;

[Guild] BuffNinjaPls: Whoa…

Even the roleplaying Ninja was speechless. Was she really that incredible? Bewildered, I messaged Seong-jin this time.

[Whisper] BlueberryWhiskey: Hey.

[Whisper] BlueberryWhiskey: Is AngelA really that big of a deal?

[Whisper] PungPungLove: Well, she’s been a top ranker since the early days of Zelpia.

[Whisper] PungPungLove: Her manners are great, so she has a good reputation overall.

[Whisper] PungPungLove: She’s been in several interviews because her character design is cute and she speaks well.

[Whisper] PungPungLove: She’s definitely in the top 10 most famous players.

[Whisper] BlueberryWhiskey: Oh…

[Whisper] PungPungLove: You’ve been tangled up with Sephiroth from the start, so you might not realize…

[Whisper] PungPungLove: Most people never even get to meet a high ranker, lol.

[Whisper] PungPungLove: Someone on the level of AngelA or Sephiroth is just… wow.

I see. I’ve been playing with some seriously legendary people without even knowing it…

[Whisper] PungPungLove: Anyway, our guild is going to become famous overnight because of this.

[Whisper] BlueberryWhiskey: Why?

[Whisper] PungPungLove: Isn’t it obvious?

[Whisper] PungPungLove: The #1 guild picked a fight with us.

[Whisper] PungPungLove: Sephiroth, who is famous for never joining a guild, is here.

[Whisper] PungPungLove: And now AngelA is here too.

Ah, I guess so. When you put it like that, the guild members’ shock makes sense. We’ve gone from a quiet, mid-rank guild in the outskirts to the hottest topic in the game.

Un-ha, you’re in the middle of a storm! How do you think the “Daughters of Korea” will fare against the #1 guild with these two legends on your side?
