[Guild] Let’s do this: Sleepy-nim, I heard you’re doing a ranking match. Is this true?

[Guild] I’m sleepy: Yes

[Guild] I’m sleepy: starting today, I’m going

I was already checking my equipment before participating in the ranking match. The guild chat quickly became noisy with my answer.

[Guild] Bright Clouds: If that’s the case...

[Guild] Bright Clouds: Anyone who crosses his path will be punished personally..☆

[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: I feel sad cuz I don’t have a loverㅠㅠ

[Guild] Manaolingnam: Did you say lycheeyum?

[Guild] Manaolingnam: 1st place in Dark mage now?

[Guild] I’ll take care of you: So, this is an operation to reclaim first place?

[Guild] Harn: I support you

[Guild] Harn: It would be a big deal if we came out first in our guild, which is often said to be outdated

[Guild] TheHunter: the materialistic snob itself omg

[Guild] I’ll take care of you: I have to ask what are you going to do?

[Guild] I’ll take care of you: it might be fine if u reach an appropriate ranking, but for 1st place, you don’t have much time left

[Guild] I’m sleepy: I’ll show you that it’s possible

[Guild] Harn: Kya

[Guild] I’m sleepy: And I enhanced my weapon too

[Guild] Mocha Bread: weapon?

[Guild] I’m sleepy: I took the staff to level up yesterday ^^

[Guild] Harn: Oh

[Guild] Manaolingnam: Gosh

[Guild] Harn: Did you do it alone??

[Guild] I’m sleepy: I did it with Yoo chae

[Guild] Drink some water: fr?

[Guild] I’ll take care of you: Sleepy-nim, what level is it?

[Guild] Harn: 8 level?

[Guild] I’m sleepy: yeah 8 level

[Guild] Drink some water: Sleepy, thinking about ur luck

[Guild] Drink some water: u must have exchanged some money with enhancement stonesㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Mocha Bread: I’m sleepy-nim... good on his face, voice, and gaming skills, but

[Guild] Mocha Bread: A man with a husband like Yoo Chae but a very unlucky man...

[Guild] Bright Clouds: Phew, God is fair

[Guild] I’m sleepy: lol

[Guild] I’m sleepy: ㅋ

[Guild] I’m sleepy: I don’t think I even used 1000 reinforcement stones.

[Guild] Bright Clouds: ?????

[Guild] TheHunter: Why not??

[Guild] TheHunter: If it’s Sleepy-nim

[Guild] TheHunter: I think u came here after reaching the 5 level again ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Damn you sharp guys.

When I saw TheHunter’s chat detailing exactly what happened yesterday, I got a little emotional, but I tried to speak calmly.

[Guild] I’m sleepy: I’m unlucky

[Guild] I’m sleepy: My wife is luckyㅋ

[Guild] Mocha Bread: My wife?;;;

[Guild] Drink some water: crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Bright Clouds: Is your wife Yoo chae-nim?;

[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Guaaaaaaaa

[Guild] Harn: Ah..ha..ㅋ

[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: How to turn off Guild chat

[Guild] Bright Clouds: Get lost;

[Guild] I’m sleepy: Thanks to him, I made it to level 9 and played ranked battles

[Guild] I’m sleepy: I have to take first place no matter what

[Guild] I’m sleepy: Ha I’m really happy that I married a great person ㅋ

[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ha f1ck....

[Guild] Bright Clouds: Gilchat is not easy today

[Guild] Let’s do this: Let’s enjoy it

[Guild] Staric: Can you see hunter-nim? Haha

[Guild] TheHunter: -?

[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Sleepy-nim, are you with Yoo chae?

[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Are you actually dating in real life...?

[Guild] Mocha Bread: omg

[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Gasp??

[Guild] Bright Clouds: That’s a bit...

[Guild] Let’s do this: Hm;;

As Crazy Hunting Friend cautiously asked a question, the atmosphere in the guild became strange. I was a little embarrassed by the unexpected situation and touched my mouth.

I guess everyone is reacting like this because they know that Chae Yoo-jeong and I are men, right? I clicked my tongue and tried to say that we had never actually met, but then a guild chat came up.

[Guild] Bright Clouds: even in Zenoris, he can’t handle him

[Guild] Bright Clouds: In reality;; Isn’t this too much for you? Phew

[Guild] Mocha Bread: Sorry

[Guild] Manaolingnam: I’m sleepy-nim It looks like you passed out while holding the back of your neck

[Guild] Harn: yeah

[Guild] Harn: I support you

[Guild] Harn: I don’t have that kind of prejudice^^ㅋㅋ

[Guild] Drink some water: Me too^^

[Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Can’t you hear Yoo Chae laughing?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Let’s do this: Please flatter me like that in front of Yoo Chae-nim, not here

[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: No

[Guild] Crazy hunting friend: In real life, I was planning to go out to eat when they got marriedㅠㅠ

[Guild] Mocha Bread: They do it in the US all the time, let’s all go

[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ha America

[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: They’ll provide plane tickets, right?

I lost consciousness for a moment due to the shock that seemed to pierce the chat window.

Sure, this is our guild. I misunderstood for a moment. I shook my head and sighed.

***

A job ranking competition is held only once a year. Since I was only planning to play one or two rounds on the last day, the participation quests I had previously received remained.

I pressed the button to participate in the ranking match that came as a quest. Then the screen changed and moved to a map exclusively for those waiting for the ranking match.

A square made of marble appeared. By clicking on the bulletin board in the center, you could immediately participate in the ranking match.

In ranking matches, rankings are determined based on a points system, and from 3rd place onwards, players can only move up the rankings by beating an opponent who is one level higher. Since I had not yet participated, my priority was to play at least one game.

<System> Starts a match.

As soon as I pressed the matching button, I automatically entered the duel arena as if my opponent had been decided. Since this is my first game, my opponent will probably be caught as a user with 0 points or below 100 points.

‘Currently, third place was in the 1,200-point range. If you win a game, you usually get about 50 points... All I have to do is win 24 times in a row.’

There was a need to find out how much time was consumed per round. First, we looked at the opposing character that was caught this time.

Since it was a Dark Mage job ranking match, of course the opponent was a Dark Mage like me. The staff he is holding in his black robe is... Is it about the 7th level? Since the specs didn’t look that good, there was a high possibility that he was a user whose goal was to participate in the event itself, unlike me whose goal was to be first place.

<System> The ranking match will begin soon. Get ready for battle!

<System> 3, 2, 1

<System> Battle begins!

Kwasik! As soon as the countdown ended, a bright blue skill flew to where I was standing. It was the Dark Mage’s W skill.

I honestly dodged the incoming skill with ease and predicted the next skill. Q? Or, you can use a lunge to narrow the distance. I can also use the floor covering skill D to slow down my movement speed.

Of the three guesses, the first one was correct. I noticed the opponent’s play type by watching him use the Q skill, which has a fast-casting speed.

It wasn’t particularly strange to use the W skill, which had the most damage, and the Q skill or R skill, which had fast casting speed, in succession. This was the order of skills commonly used by dark mage users.

However, skipping the W skill that binds the opponent and using non-target skills first is very less stable.

‘It’s easy.’

Victory was assured 10 seconds after the battle began. It was natural. The opponent has already used not only the W skill, which is responsible for the Dark Mage’s attack power, but also the R skill, which is the target skill, even though it does little damage.

To intentionally create confusion, I moved to the right once and then used a lunge. As expected, the opponent was taken aback and reacted one beat slowly to the lunge. The opponent, who saw me approaching right in front, tried to increase the distance with a lunge, but it was already too late.

There was no class better than the Dark Mage when it came to killing opponents who came within range. Without hesitation, I pressed E to tie up my opponent with the restraint skill and then quickly tapped on the keyboard.

A Dark Mage’s representative skill sequence and a connection that opponents also tried to attempt. E-W-Q-R-1-4. There was no need to use W twice. Even before the W skill cooldown comes back, there is no opponent who gets hit by all skill combos while tied up.

Like ice cream in the sea, my stamina melted away at once.

Ugh, the other character screamed and fell down. At the same time, a system message appeared along with a ding-di ding and a cheerful notification sound.

<System> You have won the ranking match.

<System> The quest to participate in the ranking match has been completed!

<System> You have completed the quest to win 1 game in a ranked match!

<System> The quest to earn 50 points in ranked matches has been completed!

<System> The battle will end, and you will soon be taken to the waiting room.

At the same time as the first victory, the event quests piled up in the quest window were completed. When I returned to the waiting room, I saw that I had accumulated 80 points on the Dark Mage ranking match leaderboard.

It looks like I won in a short period of time and scored more points than average. It’s 80 points, so if you win 15 times in a row like this, you can fight with the 3rd place, right? Good?

With a deep smile, I immediately started the next match. I have to kill them all.
