Chapter 11
Ji-won watched HolyKnightKnight’s character, which had stopped moving as if doing maintenance, after they had been running dungeons together since early morning as usual. Due to level restrictions, they couldn’t enter higher dungeons yet, but with Ji-won or other guild members helping, they could finish quickly. At this rate, HolyKnightKnight would probably reach max level by spring. Once that happened, they’d need to start enhancing items in earnest…
[Hando: Sasa-nim]
[Hando: Would you like me to take a look at your items?]
Even if someone had purchased used items, there would certainly be room for improvement. They’d need further enhancements and option adjustments. Though it might seem a bit hasty, there was no harm in preparing early. Unlike PVP items that were only used in special situations, these were items they’d need to use continuously to play the game.
[Hando: I can check if there are better items if you show me screenshots]
[Hando: It’s also good to decide in advance which ones to enhance first]
[HolyKnightKnight: Um… just a moment]
Maybe this was awkward for them? Ji-won had occasionally uploaded videos reviewing subscribers’ items on YouTube, so he hadn’t thought much of it, but now he wondered if he was being too nosy when they hadn’t even asked for his opinion. They might be perfectly satisfied with what they were using now. On second thought, he seemed to be rushing things.
[Hando: No worries haha]
[Hando: It’s probably better to focus on leveling up for now]
He was curious about what items they had purchased. Due to Arc Serenity’s system, where you couldn’t see what items others were wearing, it was impossible to guess someone’s specs by appearance alone. If they were spending 500,000 won a month, they must have quite a bit of disposable income.
Maybe he could see them later when they became closer and reached max level. When he had asked before, they said they were willing to invest more for higher-tier items, so it seemed like the day they could tackle upper-level bosses together wasn’t far off. And they hadn’t even been playing that long… Such newbies were rare.
[HolyKnightKnight: I’m going hunting now]
As HolyKnightKnight said they were going hunting after completing the dungeon as usual, Ji-won followed along. Now that they were in a hunting ground appropriate for their level, there wasn’t really any need for someone to help, but Holy Knights were a bit of a special case. Due to their short skill range, having someone else nearby to prevent experience loss from monster respawn times was beneficial.
While Ji-won was eliminating remaining monsters in a corner, he suddenly noticed HolyKnightKnight’s character movements slowing down. Watching the continuously spawning monsters, Ji-won asked:
[Hando: Sasa-nim, are you doing something else?]
[HolyKnightKnight: Ah.. eating dinner]
[Hando: Hahahaha finish eating first, I’ll take care of the monsters]
For Ji-won, eating with a spoon in his right hand while typing with his left was familiar, but he usually didn’t hunt that way. It wasn’t even a hunting event period, so they should eat comfortably.
[Hando: What are you eating?]
[HolyKnightKnight: Just home-cooked food]
[Hando: Are you commuting instead of living in a dorm or by yourself?]
[HolyKnightKnight: I haven’t found a place to rent yet]
They still hadn’t found a place in February? For Ji-won, who had reluctantly moved into an expensive two-room apartment because of the difficulty finding affordable housing near school, this sounded concerning. If they hadn’t even chosen a place yet, not just waiting for paperwork, would they be able to move in on time?
[HolyKnightKnight: Hahaha it’s fine]
[HolyKnightKnight: The guild master seems more worried than I am]
Ji-won had worried he was being too nosy, but fortunately, they didn’t seem upset. After convincing HolyKnightKnight to finish eating before hunting, Ji-won left the hunting grounds. While waiting for them to finish eating in the empty map with occasional conversation, an unexpected login notification appeared.
[Guild member 3Shu3 has logged in.]
[Guild][3Shu3: It’s been a while since I breathed Arc air]
[Guild][Chelling: Omg]
[Guild][Ppojjo: Wow unnie]
[Guild][Ddaji: Shu-nim it’s been so long]
[Guild][3Shu3: Pl-hello^^]
At the familiar nickname appearing after so long, guild members who were each doing their own thing simultaneously sent messages. Ji-won also paused what he was doing at the sudden appearance of 3Shu3, who hadn’t logged in for over three months, saying life had become too tough and dull after changing jobs for the game to be enjoyable.
[Guild][Hando: Shu-nim]
[Guild][3Shu3: Guild master!!!!!]
[Guild][3Shu3: I want to use an emote, is it ok if it gets deleted?/ㅠㅠ]
The motion she wanted to use was probably waving or hugging. After Ji-won asked HolyKnightKnight if it was okay and replied that it was, 3Shu3 appeared on the map shortly after.
[3Shu3: You’re a Holy Knight??????]
[HolyKnightKnight: Yes]
[3Shu3: Wow someone playing my original main character……ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
3Shu3 was originally a Holy Knight user. Since she had been a guild member since her Holy Knight days, Ji-won had witnessed her mental collapse in real-time. At first, she held onto hope that the class would soon be buffed in a balance patch, then started consoling herself that the effects were cool enough, but eventually, about a year ago, she abandoned her beloved main character and switched to a similar class, Dark Knight.
[Guild][3Shu3: There’s a Holy Knight user in our guild???]
[Guild][Ddaji: And a newbie^^ at that]
[Guild][3Shu3: I miss my Shu-Shu..]
[Guild][Watermelon Doctor: Noona, you’re not Shu-Shu anymore ㅠ]
[Guild][3Shu3: Shut^up]
She had originally played a Holy Knight named Shu-Shu, and when switching her main character, she tried to transfer the nickname as well, but lost it in those 10 seconds. Even though she attempted it at 4 AM, even skipping the initial customization.
[3Shu3: By the way, Sasa..?-nim]
[3Shu3: Would you like to buy my Holy Knight items? They’re still not selling]
[3Shu3: I’ll sell them for a quarter of a quarter of the price, ple~ase~]
[HolyKnightKnight: I already have my own]
[3Shu3: Did you make them yourself or buy them?]
[3Shu3: Are they better than mine ㅠㅠㅠ?]
After briefly going into sales mode, 3Shu3 seemed to sense there was no possibility and quickly changed the subject.
[3Shu3: I’m a case of starting after watching a YouTuber and getting screwed ㅋㅎㅋ]
[3Shu3: Holy Light, probably the person who spent the most money on Arc in the world……]
[3Shu3: Now they’ve quit because they couldn’t stand the shitty class discrimination ㅠㅠ]
While 3Shu3 was flooding the chat, HolyKnightKnight, the conversation partner, didn’t say a word. But 3Shu3 didn’t seem to mind and continued talking about the Arc Serenity YouTuber she once adored with all her heart. Along with nostalgic praise for the Holy Knight she had once poured her life into raising.
[HolyKnightKnight: Is that person famous?]
[3Shu3: Of course ㅋㅋㅋ They once rivaled our vice guild master..]
[HolyKnightKnight: In what way?]
[3Shu3: In-game recognition….?]
HolyKnightKnight, who had been passively listening about the vice guild master being a famous YouTuber, unexpectedly showed interest. Was it because they played the same class?
[HolyKnightKnight: But is this class really that bad?]
[3Shu3: Ha.. what’s the point of talking about it ㅎㅎ]
[3Shu3: I don’t want to criticize a newbie’s class choice, but this is really garbage ㅠ]
[3Shu3: Just look at someone who spent building-level money quitting without even selling their items ㅠ]
After hearing the vivid testimony of a former Holy Knight user, HolyKnightKnight went silent for a moment. Then suddenly declared they were logging out.
[HolyKnightKnight: I’ll be back in a bit]
Ji-won had thought they would go hunting right after the conversation ended. A person who was hunting while eating lunch… Was this a shock to them?
[3Shu3: Then I’ll go sell my items too..]
With the declaration that she would finally get rid of all her burdensome Holy Knight items, 3Shu3 disappeared as well. Left alone, Ji-won suddenly felt worried. …They’re not quitting, are they?
