Glancing around, Ye Uwon saw that almost everyone was max level, their gear gleaming with extravagant effects.
Feeling a sudden unease about whether he even belonged here, Ye Uwon hesitantly opened his mouth.
(Guild) Ye Ubeomjeol: Uh, excuse me—
(Guild) Gisekki: Yo
But before he could even type properly, a slender female character stepped in front of him.
Decked out completely in black from head to toe, she was barely half Ye Ubeomjeol’s size.
(Guild) Gisekki: Why did you even accept the invitation?
Ye Uwon blinked, staring at Gisekki.
He hadn’t expected the usually silent Gisekki to talk to him first, but honestly, it wasn’t an unreasonable question.
An officer, huh.
A badge floated neatly next to Gisekki’s character, marking him as an officer.
Was this some kind of simple interview?
Ye Uwon thought about it briefly.
Sure, the benefits of being in a guild were obvious, but that wasn’t the real reason he was here. So he decided to be honest.
(Guild) Ye Ubeomjeol: I’m a fan of Gisekki, haha.
It was true.
Ye Uwon found Gisekki’s brazenness fascinating.
Maybe it was because Gisekki was the complete opposite of himself.
Seeing you talk shit to that Spirit Priest was legendary. (22.gif)
Just as Ye Uwon was about to put his feelings into chat—
"Huh?"
A chill ran down his spine. Instinctively narrowing his eyes, Ye Uwon stepped back.
CRASH!
The moment he moved, a massive sound echoed around him.
He looked down.
A scythe?
Right where he’d been standing, a huge scythe-shaped weapon — Gisekki’s Death Scythe — had buried itself into the ground.
Blinking in confusion, Ye Uwon noticed a long shadow rising over his head.
[SYSTEM]
Gisekki has designated you as a target!
The system message popped up simultaneously.
PVP?
Player versus Player? Why all of a sudden?!
Not that he had time to process it. He was already too busy dodging the relentless attacks flying at him.
This...
Gisekki, eyes glinting with bloodlust, drove him back without mercy.
The guild members just stood there, watching without intervening.
Ye Uwon stretched his imagination as far as it could go, trying to make sense of this.
Must be part of the interview.
Well, duh. No way a guild ranked #2 would let just anyone walk in without a test.
And what kind of insane officer would ask "why are you here?" and then just immediately start attacking?
Clearly, he couldn’t just stand there.
Ye Uwon raised his massive greatsword.
[SYSTEM]
You have designated Gisekki as a target!
The scythe that had been about to slice him in half deflected off his greatsword with a loud clash.
Switching to PVP set.
Using the brief opening, Ye Uwon quickly swapped his skill build to a PVP setup.
His gear shifted color instantly, turning pitch black.
Swoosh!
Without wasting a second, Ye Uwon lunged at Gisekki — but Gisekki easily dodged with just a slight lean to the side.
(Guild) Gisekki: lol
Not only was Gisekki relaxed enough to type in chat, he also unleashed non-stop skills at Ye Ubeomjeol.
(Guild) WhiteKimchi: ;; what the hell is this ;;;
(Guild) no.10: T_T holy shit!!
(Guild) TrustingTheCactus: gasp
(Guild) ^Card^: hazing?
The chat window, quiet for a moment, exploded again.
Wait, isn’t PVP only allowed in specific zones inside territory?
While blocking another blow, Ye Uwon glanced down at the ground he was standing on.
Far away, he spotted a faint glowing blue dotted line marking the edge of a PVP-enabled area.
He remembered clearly — when he first logged in, he’d been standing outside the PVP zone.
But now, his feet were firmly planted inside it.
How…?
No way.
The scythe Gisekki had thrown at the beginning — it hadn’t even tried to damage him because Ye Uwon had been standing in a non-PVP zone.
But by instinctively dodging—
Fake first strike.
He’d walked himself into PVP territory.
Had Gisekki actually calculated that tiny chance and thrown his scythe to force Ye Uwon into range?
If that was true...
Ye Uwon let out a dry, incredulous laugh.
If I’d reacted just a second slower, half my HP would've been gone.
At that moment, Gisekki, sensing the slight distraction, unleashed an ultimate move.
Ye Uwon immediately summoned a tiny dragon and created a massive shield — but even then, over half the shield shattered under the blow.
(Guild) LeaveTheHealingToMe: yoooo
(Guild) NyamNyami: omg he actually blocked it????
(Guild) LifeIsSolo: lmao holy shit that’s insane
(Guild) QuengKang: brooo this is fucking hilarious @guildies get to territory rn, this shit is wild
Rather than stopping it, the guild members were actually tagging others to come watch.
As for no.10, who had invited him...
Spaced out?
He was just standing there, dazed, like he'd completely checked out.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
Ye Uwon had thought this would just be a quick sparring match.
But this... wasn’t that easy.
He’s fast.
Dragon Knights were supposed to be high defense but slow, weak hitters.
Whenever Ye Uwon reached out to counterattack, Gisekki had already moved, leaving nothing but the echoes of necromancer spells.
Frowning, Ye Uwon watched the screen with narrowed eyes.
Then, quickly, he swapped his setup — abandoning the PVP build for something else.
Ye Ubeomjeol uses the AOE debuff skill, <Screams of the Sacrificed>.
Normally, he avoided skills that required this much setup.
But right now, he didn’t have a choice.
If this really is an interview, then I gotta show at least some effort.
Even if he lost, he wasn’t going to lose without putting up a fight.
As Ye Uwon started to cast something, Gisekki immediately jumped back.
But—
Yeah, I figured you’d try that.
It was way too predictable.
(Guild) TrustingTheCactus: whoa WHAT was that??
(Guild) QuengKang: ??? swamp??
(Guild) LeaveTheHealingToMe: tf is a dragon knight even?? ㅇㅇ
Gisekki struggled too late — his feet sank into the spreading black swamp beneath him.
From Ye Ubeomjeol’s fingertips, a dragon burst out, soaring high.
Ye Ubeomjeol uses <Lullaby of the Sacrificed>.
A skill that could stun the enemy for 1–2 seconds.
With Gisekki's feet trapped, Ye Uwon figured it would definitely land.
Taking the chance, he typed quickly:
(Guild) Ye Ubeomjeol: Let’s call it here...
