LS 38

Why is it that Dohee’s predictions are never wrong?

From his stealthy vantage point at the entrance of the Coastal Forest Field, he spotted the characters BlingBling and y2kYeomisae. Honestly, he wanted to kill them right away, but revenge could wait until Knockoff logged in. Knockoff had said he might be able to get online early in the morning, and Dohee told him to go ahead. Besides, it looked like it’d take a little time to get what he requested from Daeyoung and Tando anyway.

Dohee arrived in the Yante continent first and waited for Knockoff. Soon, a special delivery arrived from Tando. The item Dohee had asked for had been completed faster than expected.

It was almost 4 a.m. Normally, the whole guild would’ve gone to bed by now. But instead, everyone was huddled together in the Yante continent, fighting off sleep and waiting for Knockoff to log in.

They were just a few portals away from the Coastal Forest Field, high-level players gathering in this area was an unusual sight. A few passing players tried striking up conversation, but none of the guild members responded. In the end, it was the regular players who gave up and moved on.

[Guild Chat]

Oreckthat: My heart’s pounding… (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘) Are we about to witness another one of AssaGo’s massacres?

AssaGo: I’ll kill them inside the field, so if they respawn in town, Oreck, keep watch where they go.

AssaGo: If they try to come back into the field, follow them and kill them again.

AssaGo: They might bring other guild members, so be ready for that.

Tando: Ah~ This thrill, it’s been too long hehe

SiblingSpicyNoodle: Tando, you’re such a damn perv sometimes.

Tando: Not sometimes–always~ ^^

SiblingSpicyNoodle: Ew, stay the hell away from me.

Tando: What? Soon we’ll be matching Couple Avatars hehe

SiblingSpicyNoodle: I’d rather die.

YeohooHae: I heard Xeno Guild’s been recruiting a lot lately. You know anything about that?

YeojinHae: Who cares if those psychos bring in more people? What, they think it’s a numbers game? LOL Their skills are trash, so what are they flexing for?

PrettyHealerHyung: I…ㅠㅠ can’t PvP though…ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

YeojinHae: Don’t worry, our healer baby! >3<♥ Noona will protect you!♥

PrettyHealerHyung: O-okay…ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

YeojinHae: Where’s Daeyoung anyway?

AssaGo: Said he got tired from running around fetching stuff I asked for, so he’s out

SoftRiceCake: What’d you ask for, AssaGo-nim?

AssaGo: Just had him make something

SoftRiceCake: Yeah right~ If the PvP king of the server asked for it, it’s gotta be something big

SoftRiceCake: What, is it a trade secret or something? LOL

YeohooHae: “Trade secret” lmaooo

AssaGo: It’s not like that lol

While they were killing time chatting nonsense, the message popped up:

[System] Guild member ‘GOingSupporter187’ has logged in.

YeojinHae: Haaa~ Our little IngSupp!

GOingSupporter187: Ah… Hello! 8ㅅ8

YeojinHae: I heard there are bastards out there who messed with our adorable IngSupp!!! ㅡㅡ

Oreckthat: We’ll kill them all for you! Just trust Oreck~! (ゝω´･)b⌒☆

AssaGo: lol that’s enough. Accept the party invite.

[System] AssaGo has invited GOingSupporter187 to a party.

[System] GOingSupporter187 has accepted the party invitation.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: ㅠㅡㅠ AssaGo-nim… I’m sorry…

[Party] AssaGo: “Sorry” is banned.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Okay…

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Did you… tell the others too…???

[Party] AssaGo: Yeah. Come to the field I’m in. It’s right next to yesterday’s spot.

A moment later, Knockoff’s character appeared. The gathered guild members immediately swarmed around him. It looked like he’d lost his robe and gloves, so his arms and back were bare. Everyone was throwing questions at him, what happened yesterday, who did it, “you’ve lost weight!”, and Dohee had to drag him out of the crowd.

[Party] AssaGo: There’s something you need to know.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: What is it?

[Party] AssaGo: I forgot to mention this when you joined, didn’t think anything like this would happen.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: What is it…?

[Party] AssaGo: Our guild has a rival guild we don’t get along with.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: 8ㅅ8…?

[Party] AssaGo: It’s called Xeno. They’re the ones who followed and killed you yesterday.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Gasp–I didn’t even realize they were in a guildㅠㅡㅠ it was so hectic yesterday…

[Party] GOingSupporter187: But I do know Xeno! I saw them before in one of GoSupp’s videos…ㅠㅡㅠ

[Party] GOingSupporter187: They’re mean people…! They always ignore supports… 8ㅅ8

Where did he learn to talk so sweetly like that? Dohee couldn’t help feeling fond.

[Party] AssaGo: Yeah, anyway, our guild and theirs don’t get along. Usually, when we meet, we fight. But low-level newbies like you? Even we don’t mess with them.

[Party] AssaGo: There’s this unspoken rule, keep newbies out of high-level fights.

[Party] AssaGo: So they’re clearly in the wrong. That’s why we’re stepping in.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: But… didn’t I just make trouble for everyone? ㅠㅡㅠ

[Party] AssaGo: ???

[Guild Chat] AssaGo: Guys.

YeohooHae: ??

SoftRiceCake: Yeah?

AssaGo: Knockoff just said he’s sorry for making everyone go through all this lol

Tando: IngSupp, don’t say that~ㅎㅎ we like PvP

PrettyHealerHyung: I’ve never done it before though…ㅠ

SiblingSpicyNoodle: It’s not trouble. We’re ** hyped rn lol. It’s been forever since we had something this fun.

Tando: Wow, Noodle’s really embracing the toxic villain persona today lol

SiblingSpicyNoodle: Bro, why don’t they go bash those ** rats instead of bullying a newbie––

Oreckthat: Oreck is excited… thrilled… I love fighting!! (~˘▾˘)~♫•¨•.¸¸♪

[Party] AssaGo: See that? lol

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Ah… 8ㅅ8

[Party] AssaGo: Anyway, I checked earlier, they’re still camped right outside the field.

[Party] AssaGo: Saves us the trouble of hunting them down.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: What if… they call more guildmates…? ㅠㅡㅠ

[Party] AssaGo: Wow, Knockoff’s grown up~

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Huh…???

[Party] AssaGo: You’re even worrying about stuff like that now lol

[Party] AssaGo: And if they do? Then we just kill all of them too lol. That would probably excite the guild even more.

Right now, they were holding back because a 2-on-1 beatdown would be too much, but if the other side called for backup, things would escalate. And the guild would love it. They were all bored veterans who treated this like a special event.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Ah… 8ㅅ8!!!

[Party] AssaGo: So don’t worry and just follow me.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Okay okay…! ㅠㅡㅠ

[Party] AssaGo: They’ll probably try to kill you the moment you enter the map.

[Party] AssaGo: So stick behind me. I’ll go through the portal first.

[Party] AssaGo: I’m using stealth, so they won’t see me.

[Party] AssaGo: Once you come in, they’ll probably be so focused on you that they won’t even notice me.

[Party] AssaGo: That’s when I kill them lol

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Oh… okay!!!

[Party] AssaGo: I feel kinda bad, like joining Human brought you all this trouble.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: What!?? No! Not at all…ㅠㅡㅠ

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Everyone’s been so kind to me. I love it here, it’s really okay.

[Party] GOingSupporter187: And now you’re all here to fight for me like this…

[Party] GOingSupporter187: Thank you… 8ㅅ8

Dohee scratched his head. This kid’s too sweet for his own good.

This sweet little guy…

And those bastards killed him until he lost all his gear and gold? The fury boiled up again. No way he’d let them off easy.

AssaGo’s character activated Stealth. His figure vanished into the map, nearly impossible to spot. Knockoff’s health bar would still appear over his head since they were in a party, so that was enough.

The Dark Assassin’s stealth skill lasted about ten seconds.

The moment it activated, Dohee stepped through the portal without hesitation.

It was time for sweet revenge.
