Chapter 45
Everyone looked disappointed when no response appeared in the server chat, despite expectations. Since they couldn’t randomly fire into the void without an opponent, they waited for a while, but only silence returned.
Those who needed to see the conversation in server chat had already seen it. Being such a high-ranking guild, they would be attacked from all sides, and would certainly write an explanation post on the community forum by the end of the day. Chelling made a chilling statement that they would wait all day for just that.
[Guild][Chelling: Sasa-nim, please send a reply to Kkangbae<<~^^ He must be waiting]
[Guild][Chelling: Tell him to go f*ck himself^6^]
[Guild][HolyKnightKnight: Okay]
Is he really going to send that? As Ji-won was about to glance at the monitor across from him out of curiosity, Kwon-ju briefly tapped on the keyboard and pressed enter without hesitation.
[Server][DJinyongsa-nim: So it ends like this? With the guild master hiding?]
[Server][Iyo: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They lost the battle last week and now they’re in hot water]
[Server][HolyKnightKnight: Kkangbae<< Go f*ck yourself^6^]
…But in the server chat?
“You didn’t whisper it?”
“Chelling-nim kept using server chat, so…”
That probably wasn’t what they meant. What made it even more confusing was that he sent exactly what Chelling had typed, without changing a single character. At this point, one more curse wouldn’t cause any problems… right? He wouldn’t get a chat ban, would he?
Private whispers between individuals and server chat visible to an unspecified majority naturally received different numbers of reports. Usually, people seemed accustomed to this level of swearing and overlooked it. Just as Ji-won was about to lose the original point by fixating on something completely different, Kwon-ju brought him back on topic.
“But they could challenge us to a battle first, right? I think a challenge might come.”
“It’s fine. They can only do it once a week, and fighting us would be a ranking point loss for them, so they definitely won’t. Especially since they’re the ones who caused this problem, they won’t do it out of shame.”
Having past experience racing for rankings with guild members, Ji-won could be certain. In a situation where every single point matters, they wouldn’t waste one of their limited opportunities on something like this. Kwon-ju, who had worried about causing Ji-won trouble, was reassured by his assertion and gripped the mouse again.
[Guild][Chelling: How dare they try to poach our newbieㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Guild][Ddajimalgot: Sasa-nim needs to stay here forever……]
To think that the first sense of belonging he’d ever felt would be inside a game, having never experienced it in real life. Scanning through the chat messages of everyone suddenly trying to hold onto him, Kwon-ju thought, captured by a childish feeling: This isn’t so bad.
“Ah, I don’t want to go home.”
“…Me neither.”
“Should we stay a bit longer?”
“Yes.”
The one hour they had initially agreed upon had long passed. Having the same thought simultaneously, the two didn’t leave their seats until evening.
Even though Kwon-ju’s left cheek stung from being accidentally hit by Ji-won’s outstretched arm, and despite the ear-splitting noise from high schoolers shouting loudly, he enjoyed staying longer than expected. It was truly strange. He wasn’t sure if he liked the person who made this possible, or if it was possible because he liked him.

[Anonymous Board] What’s with the Asuka server chat drama again
What happened?
Comments
➥ What?
➥ Oh f*ck I’m outside;; Did something fun happen?
➥ Situation explanation: A user with the first +15 necklace in the entire server is in Shinmyung’s guild (that YouTuber you know), and the vice guild master of Asuka’s 2nd ranked guild tried to poach them by sending a message from an alt character but got caught and was publicly humiliated
➥➥ Wowㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥➥ How’d they get caught using an alt? Shouldn’t be any way to track it, right?
➥➥➥ They were asking for tips from anyone who knew
➥➥➥ From the evidence they posted, looks like they dug through all their forum posts and found a character selection screen photo. Scary af
➥ Asuka is entertaining every dayㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥ I want to move to Asuka
➥ Worth trying to poach though
➥➥ Who is it?
➥➥ Why ask? It’s that person with the +15 necklace, of courseㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥ Newbie here, isn’t it okay to recruit guild members? It’s their decision whether to accept and move or not
➥➥ First, approaching someone in a guild to come to yours<< this alone is disrespectful to their current guild, naturally infuriating for the leadership
➥➥ I’ve only played ArkSerenity so I’m not sure, but it’s bad manners in this game
➥➥ There are many cases of guilds getting into battles after someone gets caught poaching members
➥ The man New World covets
➥ They’re the president of Shinmyung’s guild, why would they move to another guild?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ There must be reasons they settled there
➥➥ Shinmyung himself wrote in his community that they’re not the president, get your facts straight
➥ But why not move? Isn’t there a big ranking difference between the guilds?
➥➥ Must be a Shinmyung fan or really close with the guild members
➥➥➥ Just keep them in your friends list… In a game where feeling belonging in a high-ranking guild is super important, why stay?
➥ Why not move? Are you asking because you don’t know? They were literally telling the poacher to go f*ck themselves in server chatㅋㅋㅋ
➥➥ Just a mini-Chelling
➥➥ Could be staying because of Chelling, I’ve seen them doing dungeons together several times
➥ Kkangbae-nim, this is really ugly……!!
➥ What’s the New World guild master doing?
➥➥ Playing dumb AFㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥➥ Claims they didn’t know
➥ Didn’t Kkangbae foam at the mouth and write sniper posts when another guild tried to poach their members before?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Tables turned
➥➥ I remember this
➥➥ Typical double standard
➥ So this HolyKnightKnight from Plum guild is the spark of this fight?
➥➥ Since they’re the target, I guess they are the spark,,
➥➥ Seriously, why stay in a guild that doesn’t push hard for rankings when you’ve got the strongest item in the server?ㅋㅋㅋ
➥ Back in the day, New World was permanently ranked #1.. everyone wanted to join.. why fall so low as to poach members.. so ugly..
➥ A game with f*cking nothing to do needs drama like this
➥➥ For realㅋㅋㅋㅋ whenever a fight breaks out in server chat, everyone grabs popcorn and watches
➥ Plum’s power dynamics are crystal clear—when the guild master tries to handle things smoothly, Chelling steps in, makes a scene, and escalates everythingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥➥ One of them plays just to fight..
➥➥ That’s why Shinmyung looks so tormented when they interrupt his streamsㅋㅋㅋ
➥ This is starting to smell like a witch hunt, maybe tone it down?
➥➥ What did you say?
➥➥ Must be from New Worldㅋㅋ Must be from New Worldㅋㅋ Must be from New Worldㅋㅋ
[HOT+] We are the New World guild of Asuka server.
Username: Harilobsi Lv.95
I am Hayeomeobsi, the guild master of New World in Asuka.
After investigating, we’ve concluded that the proposal to OOOO-nim from OO guild was Kkangbae-nim’s unilateral and independent action. He has admitted this himself.
From here on are KakaoTalk conversations we had after the incident.

He has taken responsibility by leaving the guild and will be taking time for self-reflection.
I hope our guild name will no longer be mentioned in this unfortunate incident. Please don’t lump me and innocent guild members together with this. I ask for your understanding.
Comments
➥ “Innocent me”ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What bullshit
➥ Why would a game user need “time for self-reflection”?ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ Does this mean they just won’t log in for a while?
➥ The vice guild master tries to poach members from another guild and the guild master didn’t know?
➥ At least make your lies believable, who’s going to buy this?
➥ So what did you give Kkangbae in exchange for being the fall guy?? As the >Server Rank 2 Guild Master< you must have given him at least a +15 necklace???
➥➥ They specialize in poaching, maybe they’ll poach the necklace tooㄷㄷ
➥ You lost to Sparkle 3 weeks in a row and got frustrated, right?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Should have just asked them to come as a mercenary one time..?
➥ Why include KakaoTalk conversations that happened long after you got called out?ㅋㅋㅋ
➥ “Time for self-reflection”ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what a jokeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥➥ Are they a celebrity or something;;;;;;
➥ Haileobi-nim, you’re really living up to your username
➥➥ It’s Hayeomeobsi x not Haileobi o
➥ What’s your KakaoTalk theme and font? I’m curious
➥ Guild Master~ I’m writing anonymously here because you’d kick anyone who speaks up in the group chat^^ As a current New World member, please stop harming innocent guild members and just leave alreadyㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥➥ Seriously stop ruining our guild’s image
➥➥ Your explanation post has zero sincerity which makes me even more angryㅋㅋㅆㅃ
➥ New World members who feel wrongly accused, we welcome you to our friendly new guild “Moment”!
➥➥ Trying to poach members from a guild caught poachingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥ Just quit the game and focus on real life
➥➥ (Author) Unlike anonymous people like you who treat the game as life, it’s just something I play casually for fun?
➥➥➥ A “casual” player who’s level 95 on Invenㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
➥➥➥ You definitely don’t treat the game like it’s your life..
➥ Chelling posted the whispers you sent to Plum’s guild masterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Check the other hot post
➥➥ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They’ll run away soon
