Anyone who was online at 8PM yesterday definitely saw it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It started with a totally out-of-nowhere guild war declaration from EveningGlow.

Fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋseriously a brain-dead guild warㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Funniest part? EveningGlow and OneHeartOneWill are tight-knit bro-guilds, fr.
So why did these freaks suddenly go apeshit like a sergeant who didn’t get woken up for dinner?

You see that server chat from Yoo Chae?ㅋㅋㅋㅋThat’s why lmao

Total fucking mess. No one even knew who the hell this “Sleepy-hyung” dude was, had all of us staring at our screens with ??? over our heads

Sleepy-hyung shows uuuup
Immediately drops the F-bombs lmfao

THE LEGENDARY “I hate you” ffs… look at the chat reaction??
(image attachment)
The screen goes dark—sorry, I was hunting—but I literally died reading that “I hate you” shitㅋㅋ
(image attachment)
Then the pissed-off newbie challenges him to an IRL fight via server chatㅋㅋAnd honestly? He had every right to be mad, I’d be fucking pissed too
(image attachment)
ㅋㅋㅋㅋBut Yoo Chae rejects him, saying “This is moving too fast” lmfaooooo
That was the last of the server chat, but anyway, it was all so fucking stupid
TL;DR: This was all probs guild posturing over next month’s preliminaries. EveningGlow and OneHeartOneWill are both eyeing the newbie. But like—can OneHeartOneWill even fight EveningGlow? They’re not even in the same weight class lol
Rumor has it even OneHeartOneWill booted the newbie now, but I haven’t confirmed it. Still, the fact that they let it get this bad… yikes.
Just a warning: if you recruit I’mSoSleepy, EveningGlow will slap a guild war on your ass, so watch outㅋㅋㅋ
3-Line Summary
Yoo Chae did Yoo Chae shit
EveningGlow’s guild master is gay af ㄷㄷ
Lord, we’re offering up a single helpless newbie

He’s not even max level and his game life’s already in shambles? Got blacklisted by top guild on day one? I’d have just uninstalled lol
└ fr why the hell would you stay in Zenoris after that dumbfuckery
└ Why uninstall if Sleepy was the one two-timing?
└ tf is this guy? Read the post with your damn eyes, you idiot

This guy’s always on the scandal board, can we not. Still, poor newbie. I’d just reroll honestly…

EveningGlow is messed up… From the screenshots, I’mSoSleepy clearly gave notice before leaving, and they still dumped a guild war on OneHeart for recruiting him? Both the guild and the newbie are victims
└ So true. EveningGlow’s full of toxic ass game addicts, no wonder their tactics are trash
└ They're still Rotel’s #1 guild, but this is just straight thug behavior;;
└ That’s ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) why Rotel players are always begging for server transfers~

Shouldn’t the admins step in here?? Gatekeeping noobs like this is trash behavior. Why would anyone want to play like this? It’s EveningGlow’s fault but the newbie gets screwed over
└ Learn to spell before blaming the devs lmao
└ That’s what I’m saying—the vets fuck up and the noob gets run out?
└ Doesn’t matter who’s right. His name’s blasted all over the scandal board, just quit while you’re ahead

Everyone called him a psycho and yeah, he really is. If it were me, I wouldn’t quit—I’d milk itㅋㅋNo one remembers in a month anyway. gl

That guild tho

Every server’s got one guild you just don’t deal with. For Rotel, it’s that one.

Can we PLEASE change or remove the guild war system? There’s zero actual progression, just endless fighting. Like who tf plays an RPG to PvP 24/7—go play HoL if that’s what you want
└ Zenoris is kind of popular but it’ll never top PC cafe charts like HoL because the devs don’t do shit
└ Still, don’t compare RPGs to AOS. HoL gets map and item changes every season. Zenoris can’t do that; it’s apples and oranges

Let’s be real. Guild wars are fucking useless. Get rid of them already. What’s the point, bragging rights? Prelims are enough for guild rivalry. And no matter the cooldown, big guilds will always have the edge. Kill guild wars.
└ You’re right, but posting here won’t make the devs see itㅋ
└ 100% agree. So many systems already favor whales. Why bother playing unless you’re a cash cow?
└ lol salty much? Just whale harder
└ We got a simp in the house
└ Yeah and did that whale life pay off? Or are you just a fatass scratching his belly in front of a monitor

Here’s the TL;DR: EveningGlow pulled some grade-A asshole moves, I’mSoSleepy is the victim. OneHeartOneWill ditched him anywayㅋㅋ
└ This right here
“Number 17, your combo’s ready.”
I picked up the tray of burgers and fries from the counter and headed upstairs. Kim Daeseok, already seated, whistled as he dumped the fries all over the tray.
“I’m treating you for the first time in forever and all you want is burgers? We should’ve gone for steak or something.”
“Burgers are enough.”
I peeled open the wrapper and took a bite. The salty sauce and meat patty filled my mouth with flavor.
“Still feel kinda bad though.”
“There’s nothing to feel bad about. It wasn’t even your fault.”
Because of the guild war that EveningGlow stirred up yesterday, I ended up leaving
Even while kicking me out, WoonYoom looked sincerely sorry. He even sent a friend request, telling me to hit him up anytime I needed help. He’s a good guy, seriously.
‘Unlike that piece of shit Yoo Chae…’
Just thinking about his server messages made me sigh. I paused mid-bite, letting out another sigh, and Daeseok, sensing the mood, cautiously asked,
“Hey, are you really okay?”
“What’s not okay?”
“I mean, it’s fucked, right? What are you gonna do about a guild now?”
“Gotta give up.”
You needed a guild to run raid quests efficiently and hit level cap fast, but it wasn’t like I couldn’t hit level cap solo. It’d just take longer... but whatever.
“Even quitting your guild isn’t gonna stop this. Did you see that link I sent earlier? Your name got blasted on the forum.”
“Yeah, I saw.”
Didn’t really hit me though. The comments knew who was actually being a scumbag, so it didn’t feel unfair.
Seeing how indifferent I was, Daeseok just shook his head and shoved the burger into his mouth like it owed him money. Less than two minutes later, the thing was gone, and he reached for the fries.
“There’ll be a shit ton of people trying to start shit. Wouldn’t it be better to just make a new account?”
“If I was gonna do that, I’d quit altogether. No way I’m throwing away the hell I went through the past ten days.”
“Fair. Still impressive you hit level 200 in just ten days.”
“If anyone’s quitting, it should be the asshole who caused all this. Anyway, enough bullshit—just eat.”
Smacking his lips, Daeseok quietly stuffed fries into his mouth. Back in high school, he played in the regional basketball league. Dude’s huge—his appetite matched.
I finished my burger too, sipping cola through the straw, and started thinking. Make a new account, huh? Just thinking about it made my chest tighten.
Throwing away the ten grueling days I spent getting to level 200? That’s pure hell. More than anything, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I run away? My pride wouldn’t allow it.
‘Even if a few trolls target my nickname, it won’t last long.’
Sooner or later, something else will blow up and bury this. That’s how it always goes.
After parting ways with Daeseok, I went home, showered, and powered on my computer. I clicked the Zenoris icon, and the loading screen popped up before showing my character standing idle.
“A new account, huh…”
While eating earlier, I’d been dead set against rerolling—but now that I was staring at the login screen, I hesitated.
A fresh account where no one would bother me, just grinding solo at my own pace? Sure, sounds nice. But I couldn’t deny how attached I still was to I’mSoSleepy.
It was my first RPG character in ages, and I’d put real heart into building him. The thought of quitting because of some bullshit drama just felt… tragic.
“Haa…”
Pressing my tired eyes with my palms, I debated with myself—then clicked “Start Game,” not “Log Out.”
Yeah, screw it. I’ll do what I want. Now that it’s come to this, I’m gonna hit level cap fast and beat the shit out of every annoying prick I meet.
Since I’d logged out right after quitting the guild yesterday, my character spawned in Central City. I closed all the pop-up event banners and reward messages, then checked the chat.
[Global] ORuby: lololol what the fuck
[Global] ORuby: So did your friend quit?
[Global] AirGates: Anyone got a good summoner skill build?
[Global] EongMueong: yeahㅋㅋhe quitㅠjealous afㅜ
[Global] RimBom: go post on the forum pls
[Global] Sweetic: @@@Gold Rush—turn 5/in front yard—7 in party/3 slots left/whisper@@@
[Global] BlackShirt: Buying Time-Limited Books—0.5 per vol, need 200, whisper
[Global] MyGirlfriend: Friendly guild
Thankfully, no one recognized me or brought up yesterday. No one started shit.
Which made sense. Most users probably just laughed and moved on, and only a few ever read the forum anyway.
Letting out a sigh of relief, I opened my inventory. I needed to move to a combat zone before anyone noticed. I tore a teleport scroll and arrived in the Southern Volcano Region.
The entrance to the Red Dragon raid zone was packed with players. I was heading toward the glowing red rocks to queue up when it happened.
[Yoo Chae]: Hyuuuung!
[Yoo Chae]: Hiii ㅎㅎ
“…?”
Ding, ding! Bright cheerful message tones popped up—messages from the last person I ever expected. Horrified, I quickly opened my friends list, and there it was: the nickname
My brow furrowed.
“…The fuck is this?”
Why the fuck is that bastard on my friends list?
