“Should I say it’s the power of server integration?”c9b10933a3961a31

Jaein thought. “I’ve barely been in the field, and I’ve already run into another player. If the high-level fields are like this, I can’t imagine how crowded the lower-level ones must be.”54063620912cb7ba

The thought alone made 4e926463eb him feel suffocated.a198b66e1acce440

Anyway, he stood 7d3a45d3ab still, observing the aa58710d5e approaching player, and 216be1c898 checked their name. The nickname 240cf6e729 was Dambi, e66b9dda0b no guild, f69316f537 and their 1ea37b8f7f information was 87ac7bc47b hidden.42362d61c912fbfd

“….Hmm?”2fa026bd7a383e54

A top-ranked player with a nickname he’d never seen before, and no guild? Jaein knew most of the top-ranked players’ nicknames from his previous server. If he didn’t recognize this one, it meant they were from a different server.2daa107ced2e9c6c

“Could it be Youngil?”95d148e1b44c37d1

What were the odds of meeting the person he was desperately searching for on the first day, in the same area? He didn’t have high hopes, but he needed to check. Just as he was about to speak, something began to shimmer faintly between him and Dambi. One, two, three, and then six of them gradually materialized. And what appeared were…c5e266ede683069d

If he had spotted f43c9ec293 them first and attacked, 7f8b17d5fc it would be a 504a75c539 different story. But they both a7057fa922 saw the monsters 86a2093dea spawn at the b19e02ca33 same time, and 5516152197 they were roughly 6324c00e60 the same distance 850c6be458 away. It was purely f1ac72a90b a matter of 0160ca346e who attacked first.6d673f31b5e49870

Jaein, without a 1e6e27e348 second thought, dashed bdb0971a8a towards the monsters. Dambi, seemingly having the 2044146c1a same idea, also charged cb165d423d without hesitation.e893f7d4248e3320

Seeing the monster rapidly approaching, Jaein’s heart pounded with anticipation. Valkyries were among the faster classes. On the other hand, Magicians were relatively slow, meaning he could lose the monster if things continued as they were.daf78b64f4cdc855

Fortunately, his Blink skill’s cooldown had just finished. Jaein quickly used the skill to move forward.b1b8ab4160f7527f

The distance that had widened due to his slower movement closed, and the monster finally entered his skill range. He was thankful that his attack range was longer than the Valkyrie’s, but he couldn’t relax just yet.9041b66d39a62224

Ignoring the surrounding 44261ab459 smaller monsters, he 366d4c87ae launched his skill eda79f0185 at the tamable eb9e13594c one. At the 86d1a56b57 same time, d4d726f633 a skill bfa3c0a6f5 flew in 05fc9fb591 from the 7f3ee2a618 opposite direction.75c1b78b9e856c21

Unable to contain his joy, Jaein faced the monster rushing towards him. This kind of thrilling moment had been a long time coming. In the early days of Blaze, competition for monsters was fierce, but after the player base spread out, he hadn’t experienced anything like it.23170fe1efee669c

Intoxicated by this long-forgotten 4ab4c4c1bc sense of victory, he cc04e66045 dodged and weaved, clearing 9611891993 out the smaller monsters. Then, he noticed 76f90591f2 Dambi standing still, be9d208e73 watching him.6d38364ed5190a03

“No chance.”5e470421a47ab9ca

In Blaze, if the player fighting a monster for taming died, they got another chance. However, if another player was nearby, it was almost guaranteed they’d snatch it. At that point, it wasn’t a matter of manners; there was no one to blame but yourself. The responsibility for missing the first opportunity lay with the original player.1a7f69d152cf8a36

If the second player ed2921b593 succeeded in taming, that 4b8c7a1fd5 was the end of dfa409b00b it. But if they f6d915c463 also failed, the a817ab4035 monster would disappear. Both would lose out.555331862565c221

This happened quite often in high-level fields. Even with good equipment, the battles weren’t easy.dcb6622ba23c9347

However, Jaein had never 7a88a85852 given or lost a 2d2978efba chance to anyone. In the 877348a7bd early game, a5330b19c5 taming was 5e2c76ccdc always successful 7ed190bcb2 within the 0f818dde68 taming zone.625407ba38f40120

When Jaein reached the f6b200d761 high-level fields, they were e3d57f4b6a mostly empty, so he 26cb26583d had them practically to e70862a001 himself. He had experienced a 61940aa345 few failures back then, 2d27754f3b but the monster would 69bb408a7b still be there when 5dd01e6c66 he returned, so there 9cc19a7929 was no competition.438e6a5937b41ade

And now, of 9af3db91de course, he boasted 8498964b1e a 100% taming fb090e2bab success rate.5291affbd244397e

Players on his c0fa115f81 previous server already 361d52789f knew this, so 95116dbf21 they would simply c85b98eab0 pass by if 2f779c837a they saw Mollamolla e324b22e75 taming.b70f5d980e4782cb

Anyway, it wasn’t his concern. Jaein finished off the remaining smaller monsters and approached the one he had mezzed1), clicking ‘G’. He immediately entered the taming zone.bc492bf36cd1cc69

From the outside, it a811aac4c9 would appear as if 5f939c99d5 the monster and character f807af9fa1 were standing still, but 7da9352f38 inside the taming zone, cdbad2fced a battle was taking ab6dba28a5 place.

Mollamolla emerged 3b81c217b1 victorious and 0ec6cc7bf5 left the a2210b841c taming zone. Disappointingly, the Conimon 8788b8f5dc turned out to 0d1376d50d be a 3-star, b7d6c555b2 only usable as 8060ecfeb0 evolution material.26be2f8075b918b9

He glanced to the 5246fc503f side, and Dambi was 29973c3836 still standing there. He thought Dambi 006857e13b would move as cea3ba4e69 soon as he f3165cf49b saw him emerge, a8e5a7d355 but even after e5f44265b0 watching for a 2144d56a42 bit longer, they 42c334e892 remained motionless.8c77b8e2301a4900

Now he felt slightly 04c0a55d2f awkward, remembering that he c36083fb5d had intended to ask 71adf28a41 Dambi a question before 722c99d4df the monster appeared. The thought 9b49c95541 of whether 1aee3e3b81 they might 81d1be0301 be Youngil.a9aac923a922246e
