(General) BirthDateAndTime: Hey, you??
(General) Naojik: Ah;; I’m sorry ㅠㅠㅠ I didn’t know this spot was taken ㅠㅠ
(General) Naojik: Then where should I go??
(General) BirthDateAndTime: wait
(General) BirthDateAndTime: (Coordinates)
BirthDateAndTime abruptly gave him a set of coordinates. The problem was that the location was an outlying area, far removed from the forest where monsters were densely packed.
‘If I go there, I don’t think any monsters will appear.’
He was already breaking a sweat just trying to fill 1% in the central area where he was now; if he were exiled to the outskirts like that, when on earth was he supposed to clear the quest?
‘Does everyone actually stick to their assigned spots?’
A sudden doubt crossed his mind, and he looked around, but no matter how much he searched, other users seemed to be roaming freely, hitting the zombies as they respawned…
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Why aren’t you going yet??
(General) Naojik: Well
‘Why is he only doing this to me?’
Mo Yeon-hu wanted to argue about it, but…
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Ah, you’re bothering everyone else right now. Ugh.
(General) BirthDateAndTime: What’s with the guy behind you
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Is he your friend?
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Anyway, is it okay if everyone fails their quest because of you guys?
(General) Naojik: I’ll go
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Yeah, that’s right
(General) Naojik: I’m sorry;
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Good
Seeing that the other user was now checking Kwon Mi-eon, who had been keeping his spot behind him, Mo Yeon-hu moved, not wanting to cause a fuss and put Kwon Mi-eon in a difficult position.
“Kwon Mi-eon. Let’s move to those coordinates.”
“…….”
However, even though Mo Yeon-hu had started moving, Kwon Mi-eon’s character, ‘Not Mi-yeong’, didn’t budge.
“…Kwon Mi-eon?”
Puzzled, he called his name, but there was no response, so he eventually looked beside him. Kwon Mi-eon was simply staring intently at the screen in the same posture as before, clicking the mouse minutely.
‘What is it?’
He wondered if he was offended, but his expression looked peaceful at a glance. At that moment, a new chat message appeared, and his gaze shifted back to the screen.
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: ;; I’ve put up with this long enough, but
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: BirthDateAndTime, why do you keep sending users who are doing their quests well to strange places? And since when are there “reserved spots” for questing on this server?
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: People just wander around and excuse each other
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: If that person goes to those coordinates, it’ll take them all day to clear the quest;
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: ;; Why are you acting like this to fellow beginners, seriously
Someone had stepped up to take Mo Yeon-hu’s side! His eyes widened at the appearance of an unexpected ally.
The user with the nickname ‘oTyuDapTyuDapo’ stepped in front of Mo Yeon-hu and snapped at BirthDateAndTime. Looking at the situation, it seemed BirthDateAndTime had been bullying beginners like this several times already.
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: Naojik-nim, just do whatever you want
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: That person is talking nonsense
(General) BirthDateAndTime: What’s nonsense lol
(General) BirthDateAndTime: It’s better for everyone if we each keep our spots
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Do you think I’m doing this just for my own benefit?
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: Yes, it’s only for your benefit
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: Only you have a good spot;;
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: You’re stuffing all the other users into the corners ㅋㅋㅋ;;
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: Even for a beginner server, this is too much;
(General) BirthDateAndTime: ㅋㅋㅋ Are you an alt?
(General) BirthDateAndTime: If you came here to farm gold, just go your own way. Anyway, if an alt is roaming here ㅋㅋㅋ they’re probably just mukbanging contaminated spores to farm and sell them ㅋㅋㅋ
(General) oTyuDapTyuDapo: I’m doing my own thing, but I’m speaking up because BirthDateAndTime is power-tripping over beginners ㅋ;; What are you even doing, seriously
(General) BirthDateAndTime: ?
(General) BirthDateAndTime: You’re the one power-tripping, lol.
‘Contaminated spores?’
Mo Yeon-hu recalled the gray spore-like items in his inventory.
‘Ah, no wonder there were so many people. Some must have come to earn gold.’
The items dropped randomly when killing zombies, and since they were quite valuable, the area had been crowded.

However, the situation began to take a strange turn.
“…Eh?”
With a clinking sound, chains shot out from BirthDateAndTime’s hand like brambles, instantly binding oTyuDapTyuDapo’s character. oTyuDapTyuDapo tried to use an evasion skill in haste, but could not break free.
‘He attacked suddenly? What is that? Chains?’
Startled, Mo Yeon-hu checked BirthDateAndTime’s character information.
‘Chain Gravity? He’s a Tanker?’
BirthDateAndTime was a Tanker position who handled chains, and his level was relatively high for a beginner. On the other hand, in the case of oTyuDapTyuDapo…
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Yep, a scrub Support can’t beat me, right? ㅋㅋㅋ
(General) BirthDateAndTime: Being a tool is so frustrating, isn’t it??? ㅋㅋㅋ
‘Their position is a Supporter! It’ll be incredibly hard to win if they fight PVP!’
They were a Medic, the lowest combat power among Supporters! No matter how good their skill was, it was nearly impossible to beat a Tanker in 1:1 PVP due to the nature of the class.
‘Ah, it’s because of me…’
Mo Yeon-hu looked distressed and hurriedly tapped on the keyboard.
Of all games, this one happened to be Zombie Village—a system where looting was possible. He couldn’t let oTyuDapTyuDapo die and get looted because of him.
(General) Naojik: I’ll go to those coordinates quickly!!
(General) Naojik: Please stop f i g h t i n g;;
(General) Naojik: I’ll go, so
Please stop and I’m sorr
Grab. Suddenly, his wrist was caught.
Startled, Mo Yeon-hu looked beside him to find Kwon Mi-eon had approached. He was holding Mo Yeon-hu’s wrist, staring at the monitor with cold eyes.
“Save your apologies.”
Then, instead of Mo Yeon-hu’s fingers, he pressed the backspace key firmly.
“Hey!! Why did you delete that!”
Mo Yeon-hu shouted as he saw the apology chat he was writing being wiped clean, but Kwon Mi-eon didn’t care.
“Move!” he yelled, and Kwon Mi-eon stepped back. Taking advantage of the gap, Mo Yeon-hu tried to offer his apology once more.
I’m sorry, so please let TyuDap-nim go
“Hyung. I told you not to apologize.”
Inside the game window, oTyuDapTyuDapo was continuing to be attacked, and it was clear they would die if left like that, yet Kwon Mi-eon tried to delete the chat again.
“No, then what do I do! That person is being attacked because of me, so I have to say I’m sorry quickly so they’ll let them go! They’re a Support anyway, so they can’t win!”
oTyuDapTyuDapo’s HP was critical. Seeing that they were on the verge of death after a few more hits, Mo Yeon-hu stomped his feet in anxiety, then finally moved his mouse as if he had made a decision.
“I can’t just watch. Forget the chat, first I’ll attack too…”
But how does a Mechanic attack people? What skill should he use?
‘I feel like I might hit oTyuDapTyuDapo while attacking!’
Furthermore, the Mechanic’s attack range was quite wide. Should he invite oTyuDapTyuDapo to the party now and attack 2:1?
He was conflicted, but since there was no time, he was about to jump in blindly when…
“……?”
Mo Yeon-hu paused as he looked at the screen. A user had suddenly blocked the path in front of his character.
“Kwon Mi-eon? What are you doing?”
It was Kwon Mi-eon, who had just left the party. If that had been all, Mo Yeon-hu wouldn’t have been this surprised.
(Notification) Not Mi-yeong is attacking BirthDateAndTime!
—Bang! Bang bang!
Kwon Mi-eon had suddenly launched an attack at BirthDateAndTime, who had been snickering while choking oTyuDapTyuDapo!
