[Guild][Banyecredit] I’m really bad at this
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] It’s ok
If I went with him, it would either be annoying or frustrating.
I hesitated a bit, but still… he said he’d run it with me…… I rationalized it to myself and sent a party invite to Nanneomukeoeyeowo.
Nanneomukeoeyeowo, who accepted the party invite, soon came to the front of the dungeon.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Let’s go
[You have entered ‘Dawn’s Breath’.]
When we entered the dungeon, mysterious music greeted the two of us.
Dawn’s Breath was a dungeon with a dreamlike atmosphere. The monsters were one thing, but it was also a tricky place because of the gimmick where you had to avoid thorns that suddenly appeared from the fog.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Just don’t die
Nanneomukeoeyeowo said reassuringly and began to take the lead ahead of me.
Nanneomukeoeyeowo was a Lilith like Aang. Though not as good as Banye, Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s control was incomparably better than mine.
I was watching Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s skills and appropriately dealing with nearby mobs when it happened. Making a mockery of his warning to be careful, I got stabbed by a thorn and was stunned. Monsters rushed at Banyecredit who couldn’t move.
I thought I was going to get hit and die helplessly, but somehow tried to chug a potion when Nanneomukeoeyeowo turned toward me.
And Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s Lilith withdrew her whip and lightly extended her hand.
[Nightmare]
It was Lilith’s skill that induced status ailments.
Several monsters that were properly hit by the skill collapsed to the ground, and the rest’s movements noticeably slowed down.
Soon, Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s Lilith raised the whip she had retrieved and struck the ground.
[Black Rose]
Black petals scattered widely, striking the monsters.
The monsters that had been stopped helplessly took the AOE attack and their HP decreased. Some monsters tried to escape, but whether the skill cooldown had reset, Nanneomukeoeyeowo pulled them in with [Vamp Hold] and finished them off with the whip.
I once again felt that Nanneomukeoeyeowo was pretty good at Card of Fantasy, though not as much as Banye. Probably better than that bastard Kwon Dajeong?
Released from the stun, I drank a potion and apologized to Nanneomukeoeyeowo.
[Party][Banyecredit] Sorry sorry, I made a mistake;
[Party][Banyecredit] I’ll focus now
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] ? For just this… it’s ok
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] I can cover for you so it’s fine
[Party][Banyecredit] Thanks
[Party][Banyecredit] But you’re really good……
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋhehe
From then on, I tried my best not to make mistakes, but a few more unavoidable mistakes came out. However, even when I apologized multiple times for the mistakes, Nanneomukeoeyeowo was consistently okay with it and brushed it off as if it was nothing.
I couldn’t help but be moved by Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s magnanimous personality.
The best way to express gratitude is with a gift. I immediately bought [Resurrection Scrolls] with cash and sent them to Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s account.
Then Nanneomukeoeyeowo put up a [?] question mark.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] What’s this?
[Party][Banyecredit] It’s a gift!
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] You’re giving me 99 resurrection scrolls for just this?
[Party][Banyecredit] Would you prefer something else?
I thought Nanneomukeoeyeowo said “just” because [Resurrection Scrolls] weren’t good enough and was about to give something else, but soon realized I had misread it.
Nanneomukeoeyeowo used his character’s emotion expression [No way] to shake his head and said it was fine.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] I’m grateful but it’s too big of a gift
[Party][Banyecredit] ?
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Wait wait
Then he suddenly disappeared.
I was waiting alone in the town when suddenly a notification appeared saying a gift had arrived at my cash shop, which startled me.
When I clicked the notification, it was a gift from Nanneomukeoeyeowo. I already had it, but it was a [Defense Increase Scroll] that increased health.
I blinked my eyes, wondering what I had just received, and stood there blankly.
After that, Nanneomukeoeyeowo appeared before my eyes again. It seemed the reason he had disappeared briefly was to go to the cash shop.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] I sent you a defense scroll lol Let’s do an exchange
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] If you use that you’ll die less
[Party][Banyecredit] ;;
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Why
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] It’s 500 won cheaper but I matched the price pretty well lol
[Party][Banyecredit] No it’s not that
“W-why to me……?”
I became a bit confused because no one had ever given me a similar gift back after I gave them a gift, so I hesitated, not knowing what to do.
Nanneomukeoeyeowo asked me gently.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] ㅋㅋ Do you run Black Stone Tower?
[Party][Banyecredit] No?
Black Stone Tower was a place for 2 people and it was too much for my DPS. And even more so for my control……
If someone went with me, they’d have no choice but to carry me hard. The time-to-efficiency ratio wasn’t very good either, so it was a dungeon I’d never asked even Banye to run with me.
But that difficult dungeon—Nanneomukeoeyeowo was suddenly asking to run it together.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Then want to run it together?
[Party][Banyecredit] With me?
[Party][Banyecredit] Aren’t you a regular with Suckeot-nim?
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Suckeot-nim graduated from there
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] I just need about 10 more runs to graduate
“Ah……”
My hands trembled. I was grateful he asked to run it together.
But……
[Party][Banyecredit] But I’m really really bad, seriously
I’m a troll.
If he goes with me, he’ll really just sigh. Right now it’s harmonious, but if I keep making mistakes after we go in, I’ll ruin the atmosphere again.
I kept saying I couldn’t go before we even went, that it was too much, terrified in advance, but Nanneomukeoeyeowo said lightly and cheerfully:
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Who’s good from the start lol
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Let’s go
Like that, because of Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s pushiness, we ended up going to Black Stone Tower.
I was so nervous I took a deep breath. And…… as expected, we struggled from the very first round.
But also unexpectedly, I wasn’t that bad. I was a bit nervous and couldn’t get the timing right, but it wasn’t as dismal as I had expected.
I was bad, but still, it wasn’t terrible. Nanneomukeoeyeowo also praised me watching me like that.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Why did you exaggerate lol
[Party][Banyecredit] Ha;; I didn’t know I’d be this good either;;
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Did you unseal yourself?
[Party][Banyecredit] Sorry but please don’t talk to me, I’m really shaking too much
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ okayokay
After dying a few more times, I gained some know-how. So I became able to avoid instant-death mechanics, and Nanneomukeoeyeowo was impressed.
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Ooh you dodged Big Wave
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] You’re really good though?
[Party][Banyecredit] Am I naturally talented at Black Stone Tower?
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Yes
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] When I come with Suckeot-nim it takes exactly 5 minutes to get here
[Party][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] With you it only took 7 minutes to get here
“Wow, amazing!”
That means there’s only a 2-minute difference from when Nanneomukeoeyeowo parties with the ranker Suckeot-nim. And this was my first time here!
Those words gave me tremendous confidence, and I began to attack more actively than before. Then my body naturally loosened up.
I started to keep attacking without dying, not even conscious of how my hands were moving.
“I’m pretty amazing, aren’t I?”
I muttered like that, wondering if this is how Banye feels all the time? And suddenly I thought of Banye.
Like that, we cleared Black Stone Tower with pretty decent results. I didn’t die as much as I expected either.
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] Aang-nim is known as a Black Stone Tower master……
Moreover, Nanneomukeoeyeowo talked about the Black Stone Tower run with me to the guild and hyped me up so much, which made me so happy.
Of course, the guild members didn’t seem to believe it.
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] How much did you get paid, Nanneomukeoeyeowo?
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] After buying off Banye, now Nanneomukeoeyeowo too?
[Guild][Banyecredit] No! I really had godly content just now
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] For real, ah I should’ve recorded it damn
[Guild][Neda] Was it that good?
[Guild][Banyecredit] Hehehe
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] They were really good though? Why did you all treat them so harshly?
[Guild][Haeyam] Then from now on you two should go to Stone Tower as regulars together yam lol
I knew Haeyam wasn’t believing Nanneomukeoeyeowo’s words and was being sarcastic, so I almost got a bit upset, but Nanneomukeoeyeowo immediately said this and my heart swelled.
[Guild][Nanneomukeoeyeowo] I’m good with that lol What about you Aang-nim?
So I was about to immediately shout “Deal!” but……
[Guild][Aang] What about Aang?
Banye, who had been lurking, woke up.
I immediately ran to Banye and greeted him.
[Guild][Banyecredit] Banye-ssi good morning!
