[Account is already logged in.]
“I guess Banye is playing right now too…”
Since that day, Banye consistently logged into my account. And my account was growing at a terrifying rate.
Every time I logged in, I was amazed at how different it was, to the point where I wondered ‘Is this really… me?’ Just a few weeks ago, I was paying for carries in dungeons, and now I was clearing them in 2-person parties.
However, since Banye was using my account like it was his own, I had to log into Banye’s account instead.
I logged into the now-familiar Banyecredit account.
[Guild][Banyecredit] Hello
[Guild][Aang] hi
Banye immediately responded to my greeting.
I was about to talk to him out of happiness, but Banye poured out questions first.
[Guild][Aang] Why haven’t you done a single scenario quest
[Guild][Aang] Your collection isn’t filled at all
[Guild][Banyecredit] heh
I had nothing to say even if Banye interrogated me.
Since I wasn’t someone who tried to seriously strengthen my account like Banye from the beginning… it was only natural that no difficult content had been completed.
“How could I do that annoying stuff…”
Even as I grumbled, I asked politely.
[Guild][Banyecredit] Did you do all that collection stuff?
[Guild][Aang] Of course
[Guild][Banyecredit] Wow…
[Guild][Haeyam] You have to do it to be strong yam ㅇㅅㅇ
[Guild][Suckeot3] Almost all our guild members probably did it lol
[Guild][Suckeot3] I didn’t think there’d be someone who didn’t do any……
Then Banye was doing the same thing twice. Seeing how diligent Banye was, I understood why he said he didn’t want to raise anything that wasn’t max level.
But…
[Guild][Banyecredit] I didn’t not do any scenario quests
[Guild][Banyecredit] I got a few collections too…
I protested modestly that I hadn’t done absolutely nothing!
Of course, it didn’t work at all.
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] Then obviously you didn’t do achievements either
[Guild][Banyecredit] Achievements?
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Question mark appeared lol
[Guild][Banyecredit] ㅠㅠ;; No, I was a crafting character
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] That’s what they all say, boss
[Guild][Aang] ㅡㅡ
Whether it was me or the teasing guild members annoying him, Banye didn’t say much after that and just worked hard on the grind.
I could watch Banye grinding through Discord screen share.
Grinding meant doing tedious, time-consuming quests, for example, after [Kill 100 Northern Rabbits] ends, there’s another boring quest like [Bring 100 Northern Rabbit Skins].
Watching him do those quests without rest made me yawn naturally.
I yawned long through voice chat.
“Haaaam…”
Then Banye butted in eagerly.
“If you’re sleepy, go to bed.”
I said while rubbing my eyes.
[Banyecredit] I’ll play when Banye-nim finishes
[Aang] I’m absolutely not giving it up
[Banyecredit] Nooo ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
After saying that, I ended up falling asleep before even an hour passed. It was because the grind was really too boring even for Banye.
As I dozed off at the desk, I thought I heard someone’s voice trying to wake me, but I couldn’t get up in the end.
“…Huh?”
Then I woke up at dawn with a stiff body after briefly dozing off, and I could see traces of Banye trying to talk to me through voice chat before logging out.
It seems Banye was the one who tried to wake me by talking.
[Hwang Hyunjung] You sleeping?
[Hwang Hyunjung] Just going to sleep?
[Hwang Hyunjung] Ah I can hear you snoring lol
I read that chat and hurriedly wiped my drool while muttering.
“No, when did I snore!”
[Hwang Hyunjung] Not waking up
[Hwang Hyunjung] Hey wake up and sleep in bed
[Anajokiwojo] lol ah really snoring
[Anajokiwojo] I can hear it if I listen carefully lol
[Hwang Hyunjung] Ridiculous
[Nanneomukeoeyeowo] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Haeyam] Sleep asmr yam ㄷㄷ
Even the other guild members apparently came into this voice channel and heard me sleeping and teased me.
I was embarrassed to be left alone in the voice channel, so I hurriedly left. And I sent a 1:1 chat to Banye.
[Aang] Why didn’t you wake me ㅠ
[Aang] You should’ve yelled or something
While sending resentful words, I didn’t expect a reply since it was so late, but surprisingly he was awake at this hour as Banye immediately sent an answer.
[Hwang Hyunjung] Just woke up?
[Aang] yeah
[Hwang Hyunjung] I called you but it was drowned out by your snoring
[Aang] ㅡㅡ
[Hwang Hyunjung] lol
Banye laughed rarely, finding it so funny that I snored, then suddenly gave me homework.
[Hwang Hyunjung] Hey while I’m sleeping, clear the scenario quests
I snapped awake at the words telling me to do that boring grind.
[Aang] What? Why?
[Hwang Hyunjung] That’s how you get strong
[Aang] I’m strong now haha
So I tried not to do it somehow…
[Hwang Hyunjung] Do it if I tell you to haha
[Hwang Hyunjung] But if you do well I’ll give you a prize
[Aang] What?
[Aang] What prize?
[Hwang Hyunjung] Secret
Leaving behind words that would drive a person crazy, he disappeared.
[Aang] Banye-ssi?!? What is it?
[Aang] Please…!
[Aang] Aaah
In the end, I had no choice but to work hard on the quests Banye told me to do throughout dawn…
* * *
[Friend][Banyecredit] Banye-ssi I finished all scenario quests up to chapter 3!
[Friend][Aang] Oh
With eyes sunken from pulling an all-nighter, I eagerly appealed my efforts to Banye.
[Friend][Banyecredit] What prize are you going to give me?
And I asked with tremendous expectations, but…
[Friend][Aang] Ah
[Friend][Aang] ok
[Friend][Aang] What do you want
Banye asked what I wanted to receive, as if he’d said it without much thought.
I felt a bit deflated, but still, I couldn’t let this chance slip away. So I thought carefully.
“If I ask for gold, he’ll go crazy, right? Since Banye is obsessed with money… Actually, I don’t really want gold either… Ah, what I want is Banye’s fingers… No, I just want to have Banye… I want to swallow him like Kirby…”
As I muttered like that, I remembered how I’d been rejected before when I suggested marrying Banye’s character and Aang’s character.
Thinking this was it, I said to Banye.
[Friend][Banyecredit] Banye-ssi please marry me! Game marriage!
[Friend][Aang] Ah
Banye was silent for a while. He clearly didn’t like it.
But I pestered Banye mindlessly.
[Friend][Banyecredit] Please, it’s my wish
[Friend][Banyecredit] It’s good because you get buffs when you log in, Banye-ssi
[Friend][Banyecredit] I can maintain the party well too!
With my continued persuasion, Banye seemed to have half given up.
[Friend][Aang] Aang is a male character and Banyecredit is male too
He gave only this weak reason.
I said cheerfully.
[Friend][Banyecredit] I’ll make Aang female lol
[Friend][Aang] heh
[Friend][Banyecredit] I’ll charge cash lol Buy me a gender change ticket!
Like that, I changed Aang to a female character.
Originally, Lilith was prettier as a female character anyway, and since I was marrying Banye, what’s a game character’s gender?
I was so happy that I bragged about it everywhere in the guild.
[Guild][Banyecredit] Everyone haha I’m getting married
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] For real with Banye-nim?
[Guild][Banyecredit] lol yes
[Guild][Haeyam] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Congratulations yam
[Guild][Yeongmyeong] Wow… Marrying your bias
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Unlike me jumping around excitedly, Banye was ignoring all the teasing guild members’ words, but still he graciously put on a veil, wore a white dress, and came to the wedding hall. I was naturally waiting beforehand.
And in Card of Fantasy, when you get married, you can write a marriage message in a world message that the whole server can see but you can’t see each other’s, and I was so moved that I wrote a whole page full of my feelings for Banye.
[Banye-ssi! I’m finally getting married to you ㅠㅠ I’m so happy, Banye is the best♡ Banye is awesome! As happy as I am today, I’ll make you happy from now on too, Banye-ssi ㅠㅠ]
What did Banye write?
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild][Haeyam] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild][Neda] What’s with the temperature difference ㅠㅠ lol
[Guild][Suckeot3] Poor puppy……
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Just as I was wondering why they were laughing so much, soon a screenshot capturing both our messages was uploaded to the guild Discord channel.
[Banyecredit’s marriage message: Banye-ssi! I’m finally getting married to you ㅠㅠ I’m so happy, Banye is the best♡ Banye is awesome! As happy as I am today, I’ll make you happy from now on too, Banye-ssi ㅠㅠ]
[Aang’s marriage message: Looking for 2-person attacker for May-June]
“That’s too much!”
I shouted, blushing with embarrassment.
