Netkama Punch!!!

What the hell?
Heenyang logs off, and right after that, Heejae logs in?
Heenyang was Heejae? Then what the fuck is [Degeuldegeul]? Is [Degeuldegeul]... [Akui]?

My brain completely shut down for a second.
All the cheerful guild chat from earlier blurred out of focus. The only thing I could see was that bastard Heejae’s smug-ass character entering the guild room.
For a moment, I thought maybe it wasn’t the same Heejae from a year ago. But my gut told me otherwise—and my gut was never wrong. Especially since…

“He’s using the exact same character build, the piece of shit.”
Same character he used when he wrecked me. Same short black hair, same plate armor that was obviously top-tier, same lance on his back, the trademark of a [Nightwalker].
Come on—same server, same name, same class, same top-tier guild leader? There’s no way it’s a different guy.

The second I confirmed it was him, I slammed the R key—my ultimate skill hotkey. Right in the middle of the guild room, my Spirit Healer’s ult, [Paranoma], landed square on Heejae’s back.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: ?
Of course, since we were both in the same guild and not in a PVP zone, it didn’t do any actual damage. Just a flashy animation.

Heejae turned around, confused by the watery explosion that soaked his back, and came flying toward me.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: ㅇ_ㅇ?
He pulled out his lance and swung it at my head lightning-fast. I reflexively used a [Dodge] emote and avoided it. It wouldn’t have caused any damage anyway, but for some reason, I really didn’t want to get hit.

To the guild members watching, though, the whole exchange must’ve looked like some cute little back-and-forth.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHooha: Damn, Sesam’s adaptability is off the charts, seriously.
CLemonade: Already besties?
CYeou: I couldn’t even say hi to the guild master when I joined... You’re built different
“The fuck are you all on about?!”

Seeing their clueless reactions, everything suddenly felt meaningless. I stopped moving, and Heejae kept mock-poking at me with his lance.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: Are you really a newbie??
CHeejae: You dodged like a pro lol
Then he started evaluating me in that arrogant tone of his. I could feel my blood pressure spike. I snapped back, biting at him through my keyboard.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CSesam: You sure you’re the guild master? lol
CSesam: You suck at aiming lol

All I did was throw his own style back at him, but the guild chat went completely silent. It was obvious they froze not because of him—but because of me.
Whatever. I didn’t give a single shit about anyone else in this trash guild. I’d leave when I was done wrecking Heejae. Until then, I’d claw at every nerve he had.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: lololololol
CHeejae: Damn Sesam, your pride’s off the charts huh?

But Heejae just laughed it off like it was the funniest thing in the world. That bastard was enjoying this. My rage boiled over and I couldn’t hold it back.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CSesam: Don’t fucking talk down to me, you little shit
The moment I typed that, Heejae’s casually spinning lance froze midair. Even the guild members who were watching didn’t say a word.

But his next reply was the last thing I expected.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: How old are you ㅇ_ㅇ yo
“What the fuck? What...?”

That mild-mannered tone? That was not the Shin Heejae I knew.
Was this really the same scumbag who once massacred my entire clan and mocked us while we lay bleeding? The same guy now asking my age using cutesy-ass emoticons like ㅇ_ㅇ?
Feeling confused and annoyed, I crossed my arms and answered with as much sass as possible.

[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CSesam: You first
CHeejae: 21ㅇ.ㅇyo
To be fair, I already knew how old Shin Heejae was. YouTube’s cursed algorithm had shoved his channel in my face enough times for me to catch a few of his livestreams where he rambled about his personal info.

Of course, I always reported the video, clicked dislike, and left hate comments. Still, I knew enough about him whether I wanted to or not.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: So how old are youㅇ_ㅇyo?
CSesam: That’s a secret

CHeejae: ?
CYeou: lololololololol
CYeou: Sorry, my little brother just stole my keyboard...
As the memories I’d buried started bubbling back up, all the rage I’d been suppressing surged out of me again. I felt an overwhelming urge to destroy him.

Naturally, my response wasn’t going to be sweet.
But instead of kicking me from the guild or swearing at me…
[‘Heejae’ has sent you a friend request.]
[Accept] [Decline]

You declined the friend request.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CSesam: The fuck?
He sent me a friend request. Are you kidding me?

[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: Come on Sesam, accept the friend request lol
CSesam: I said stop talking down to me
CHeejae: But you never told me your age ㅇ_ㅇyo

Seeing him trying to wriggle in ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) pissed me off beyond belief.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CSesam: Fuck’s sake, I’m three years older than you. Satisfied?
CHeejae: Damn you’re oldㅇ_ㅇ Still, I’ll treat you with respect, noona ㅇ.ㅇ

He was definitely enjoying my reactions.
And this crazy fuck must’ve had some kind of friend request macro set up, because every time I declined, he instantly sent another one—flooding my screen.
[‘Heejae’ has been added to your friends list.]

I was about to curse him out, hit Enter... and right at that moment, another friend request popped up and I accidentally accepted it.
Now that bastard Heejae had stained my pristine friends list.
Of course, I immediately went to block him. But as if reading my mind, Heejae sent a message straight to the friend chat.

[Private Whisper – Friend Chat]
FHeejae: If you block me, I’ll follow you everywhere ㅇ_ㅇlolol
FHeejae: I’ll keep sending party invites, and if you leave the guild, I’ll make sure no other guild takes you
FSesam: Wanna fucking die?
FHeejae: You don’t even have the skills for that, noona lol

I knew he was baiting me. I knew it.
And I still fell for it.
[Private Whisper – Friend Chat]
FSesam: If I kill you, delete your account, Heejae haha

FHeejae: What if I win?
FSesam: I’ll keep you on my friends list lol
FHeejae: Ehh ㅇ_ㅇ lol. That’s kinda weak though
FHeejae: How about this—you become my personal healer from now on ㅇ.ㅇ?

My fingers trembled with fury as I clenched them, then typed as coolly as I could.
[Private Whisper – Friend Chat]
FSesam: Fine
FSesam: I’m not even max level, and you are
FSesam: So you don’t use your weapon
FHeejae: You do realize how absurd that is, right?

FSesam: Scared? Then back off
FHeejae: ㅇ_ㅇ... I just didn’t want you to cry when you lose, noona
Then the bastard unequipped the lance on his back.

He was really going to fight me in PVP… unarmed.
“Hah… You really think this is gonna be easy for you, huh?”
I clicked on Heejae’s name and hit [Challenge to Duel]. Instantly, we were both transported to the PVP arena: [Bloody Rain].

You are moving to Bloody Rain, the battlefield of warriors’ souls.
[The Bloody Rain] map was shaped like a Roman Colosseum. Once we arrived, Heejae and I stood at opposite ends, staring each other down.
And then—

[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CLemonade: You got this, Sesam!!
CHooha: As a proud Korean, I must cheer for Sesam...
CYeou: Is this how we get a new guild master??
They were obviously teasing, not genuinely rooting for me. If they really thought I’d win, they wouldn’t be this relaxed.
“Tch… Every last one of these assholes…”

I bit down on my lip in frustration and double-checked my key settings. Then I replayed Heejae’s PVP tactics in my mind for the hundredth time.
[Nightwalker]’s signature skills—[Charge], [Pierce], and [Armor Break]—could only be used with a weapon equipped. So with his lance unequipped, those were all locked out.
In other words, I’d blocked off his most dangerous attacks right out of the gate.

Still, [Nightwalker] wasn’t a joke even without weapons. It was a freakishly fast class. I held my breath, waiting for him to make the first move.
[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CHeejae: Here I come ㅇ.ㅇlol
The first to move was Shin Heejae.

A faint red aura flickered around his character, and then he shot toward me in an instant.
The skill he just used was [Swift Step], a commonly used PVP move for [Nightwalker]s. It launches you straight forward at high speed—but you can’t change direction once it starts.
I’d expected it.

Instead of backing off, I dropped a [Water Ball] right in his path. Heejae flinched as he stepped straight into the puddle. And with [Swift Step] locking his trajectory, he couldn’t dodge it.
Enemy’s movement speed has been drastically reduced.
My [Water Ball] trap cut movement speed by 120% the moment it was triggered. Naturally, Heejae slowed to a crawl—and I dodged his approach easily.

Then I fired three [Water Arrows] at his back. I aimed for his head, gut, and thigh so that no matter which way he dodged, one would land.
Sure enough, one arrow struck his thigh.
His HP dropped by about 10%. I felt a rush of glee and immediately taunted him.

[Private Whisper – Clan Friend]
CSesam: You’re fucking trash lol. Bought that account, didn’t you?
I couldn’t hold back. I’d dreamed of saying that line back to him someday.
