[Party] Ji9star: I didn’t know because I’m a newbie ㅠㅠ <<Translation – I’m a gaming expert, I know it all

[Party] neutaaaa: That’s not it, though?

[Party] Ji9star: Translation – Got caught, huh?

“…”

[Party] Ji9star: Hahaha, I hit the nerve, right?

[Party] Ji9star: I saw through it, right?

[Party] Ji9star: Very accurate, right?

He should have just played solo. Or joined any newbie guild without fuss! It was a massive waste of time dealing with a lunatic who would deduct experience points and insult him for no reason.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m really leaving now… I was hoping to clear up the misunderstanding, but you don’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

[Party] neutaaaa: Please…

[Party] Ji9star: Goodbye…

[Party] neutaaaa: No

[Party] Ji9star: Translation – Yes

Yeo-woon decided to muster up a thousand years of patience and forgive the guy just once. Just don’t engage with it. Hope you bite your tongue while eating. Miss your bus and break your phone while running for it. Get hit by pigeon poop on your head. He should just consider leaving the party as stepping on crap.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Ah, Earth Star!

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly like this…;;;

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Please, wait a minute.

Just then, the person who left returned. It looked like he was going to say something, but he didn’t want to be at this guild anymore. Yeo-woon flicked his middle finger at the monitor and immediately left the guild.

‘neutaaaa has left the guild.’

And as soon as he was resurrected at the resurrection point, he ran away without any clear direction, and soon after, the Earth Star appeared. Earth Star caught up with Yeo-woon’s character who was running through the Village.

‘Why so fast?’

His speed was jaw-droppingly fast. It took an instant to close the distance as if there was a more compatible version of the skill.

‘Zero wave!’

Earth Star knocked Yeo-woon’s character away with a one-shot skill. A cracking sound rang out as his character’s back bent. It was an instant critical hit, and once again, he died, causing his experience points to decrease.

‘You have died. Would you like to be resurrected in a nearby town?

[All] neutaaaa: F*ck f*ck f*ck

[Whisper] Ji9star: Oh, my, I made a mistake.

Killing someone by accident with a skill? That couldn’t be possible.

[Whisper] Ji9star: You should have stopped when I called you hahaha

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I didn’t hear you call me;;

[Whisper] Ji9star: Is that so?>_<

That’s right, you f*cking bastard. Yeo-woon pressed the resurrect button at the nearby resurrection point. While he was running toward the other side, something like a rocketing fly suddenly flew and landed in front of him. Yeo-woon was astonished.

‘It’s almost the end of the map, but he caught up with my character so quickly?’

This would be impossible unless there was an expedient. Something was strange.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Wait, let’s clear up this misunderstanding!

[Whisper] neutaaaa: ??

Yeo-woon stopped for a moment and wrote a question mark in the chat window. What misunderstanding? There couldn’t be any misunderstanding between him and this guy.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Because of you, my position in the guild was loweredㅠ I’m so pitiful, right?

Earth Star made a motion of hitting the ground and crying. Oddly enough, a faint smile spread across Yeo-woon’s face.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Good good ^^

[Whisper] Ji9star: ?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Nice ^^

He didn’t quite understand what it meant, but it seemed to be something good. After all, he followed him all the way here out of frustration.

[Whisper] Ji9star: You’re an asshole.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: A compliment, thanks! ^^

Never in his life had Yeo-woon engaged in a fight like this, and yet, his tone unintentionally became childlike, much like dealing with an elementary school student. An eye for an eye, as they say.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Stop using smiling emojis, it’s weirding me out.

[Whisper] Ji9star:Even the guild master called me trash because of you. What should I do about this?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Trash << I agree 🙂

It seemed like the person he was chatting with earlier was the guild master. Why would the guild master get so irritated and vent like that? …Anyway, Yeo-woon didn’t care. He felt relieved and continued moving to the right on the map.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Hey

[Whisper] Ji9star: Trash Punch><

However, Earth Star continued to follow him, relentlessly hitting his character with regular attacks. What annoyed Yeo-woon even more was that despite not being hit more than five times by regular attacks, his health was reduced by more than half, forcing him to use health potions like they were water.

Yeo-woon could finally escape the fear of PK once he left the guild zone. Yeo-woon didn’t plan to return to the vicinity of the guild zone anytime soon.

‘I wonder if I should change servers altogether…’

[Whisper] Ji9star: Where are you going?

[Whisper] Ji9star: Hey

[Whisper] Ji9star: Where are you going?

[Whisper] Ji9star: Hey, where are you going instead of talking?

[Whisper] Ji9star: Hey

[Whisper] Ji9star: Hey

[Whisper] Ji9star: Just tell me that you liked me so much that you even made an alt.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Excuse me.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Can you see my chat…

“Why is this guy’s typing speed so fast…?”

His typing speed was almost as fast as speaking. It was nearly spam-level, and unless he had pre-written messages ready to copy and paste, it was hard to comprehend his typing speed.

‘A friend request has been sent by Ji9star. Do you want to accept it?’

At that moment, a large friend request window popped up on the screen. The level-maxed Knight Spear moved swiftly with its afterimage effect, almost urging him to accept the request quickly. Naturally, Yeo-woon rejected it.

‘You have rejected the friend request’

‘Ji9star has sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request’

‘Ji9star has sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request’

Yeo-woon couldn’t go anywhere because of the friend requests that kept coming in. The persistent messages and friend request windows kept blocking his screen. Occasionally, one-on-one PVP and party invite windows also appeared. After rejecting nearly twenty flying friend requests, Earth Star stopped flying around and stood in front of Yeo-woon’s character.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Yah;

Why was he so annoyed? Yeo-woon couldn’t understand his intentions. He could have simply left the party politely. What more did he want?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: What?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I have a lot of friends, so I don’t plan on being friends with you.

[Whisper] Ji9star: This is ridiculous. Are you bragging about how many friends you have?

[Whisper] Ji9star: If you think about it that way, I have more friends than you.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Ah okay…

[Whisper] Ji9star: You keep not listening to me and trying to go somewhere. So, I had to put something on the screen to block youㅠ

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Ah… I see.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Sorry, I have nothing more to sayㅜㅜ

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Don’t follow me

[Whisper] Ji9star: Then, if you don’t want me to follow you, please talk to the guild master and say that we’ve reconciled!

[Whisper] Ji9star: Let’s say I apologized!><

“What the…?”

Pretending to apologize as if it’s all settled after apologizing? That’s something.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Why should I?ㅠ

[Whisper] Ji9Star: But… You’ve been pretending to make typos and subtly making fun of me the whole time…

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Well, I can’t just openly make fun of you, can I?ㅠㅠ

[Whisper] Ji9star: …?

The answer to sarcasm was to give it back. The best way would have been not to engage, but somehow this guy kept following him even when he changed the server.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Seriously, I don’t get it at all.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Why on earth are you doing this to me?

[Whisper] Ji9star: Do you know me?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: That’s what I’ve been saying

[Whisper] Ji9star: You’re just making me look like the weird one and being a Pico, seriously…

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Huh? Maybe you don’t know what pico means…

[Whisper] Ji9star: I know;

[Whisper] neutaaaa: What is it?

[Whisper] Ji9star: Victim cosplaying (playing victim), is what you are doing now;;

[Whisper] Ji9star: Ah seriously, what am I going to do with my rank? Please give it back!!ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Whisper] neutaaaa: That’s probably not my business.

‘Ji9 Star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request’

The constantly popping-up windows made it difficult to enjoy the game smoothly. Moreover, this guy followed him into the field and disrupted his hunting.

[Whisper] Ji9star: Trash punch!

Because he wiped out all the monsters on the map, Yeo-woon couldn’t progress with his quests at all. Yeo-woon wanted to just smack him down to the ground as he flew around, but this wasn’t a guild zone, and he was a max-level player, so Yeo-woon couldn’t do anything.

‘Can’t I block him somehow?’

While exploring the settings menu, friend requests continued to arrive.

‘Ji9star has sent you a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request’

Ah, it’s so annoying. Thanks to the aggro, he didn’t feel like playing the game today. Yeo-woon lowered his headphones and pressed the power button on the computer to shut it down completely.

T/N: 피코 is an abbreviation for ‘피’해자 ‘코’스프레 (‘Pi’haeja ‘Ko’seupeule), meaning “cosplaying as the victim” or playing victim.
