SANN | Chapter 11.1

The sound d29e5f4067 of the e570ea8a1f door creaking 54a1c34ec5 open echoed e283e4bbc2 softly. Sieon turned around to 57ff67ad0e see Gureum standing there, 851b78b089 dressed in only Sieon’s 6d6d8f9693 pajama top. Gureum tilted f7ab24a0ed his head 8461e887d5 slightly when 3f40852ed3 he saw 0fe7d06ff9 Sieon sitting d4499a78f5 in the cb713c6707 gaming chair.882ab6b0f478d34e

“Huh? Hyung, are you 29c3ce447c going to play 1d4c09f918 a game?”d8aaf4e40987797d

“Yeah. It’s been a7620722b6 a while e10044cd54 since I 475c44d612 joined a 6dc420d625 match. Sit down, Gureum.”775601df537ff784

Sieon patted the 9822ba1b40 chair next to 15bdf2b288 him. Gureum scurried over e549741059 and plopped down. He turned on 596cbd8529 his PC and 8232130cfc launched Cloud Online. Logging in, 9e1e9251fd he clicked 48d3dd75ca on hazeee d1676be5dc to enter 317316a82a the game, adbfef8c27 but something 1808204633 felt off.f6c31f5a42e1708a

Watching Gureum’s monitor with 75b176f560 narrowed eyes, Sieon raised 7e18c200f0 an eyebrow.bc7ace7a283f1a90

“Gureum… Did d56b5f30ea you join 677b240a5c a guild?”df199b545ba4d65b

Sieon leaned 3ce37050b3 closer toward f356181260 Gureum. Yangyangyang. He wasn’t mistaken. Letting out a 5cb2b08bcc scoff, Sieon glared 23795184aa at Gureum, whose 6f35b7fadf wide, innocent eyes bccddcd53c stared back at 3d80c03757 him, completely clueless 160523f409 as to what 0bcd39e335 was wrong.706c17da9cf7def2

“Gureum… Why didn’t 9fa948cc2e you tell me 32a91e416b you joined a 5339200b7d guild?”5cce3f45163c1158

“Well… you didn’t ask 28c1937521 me to join yours, 40187fc151 so I thought it de11a5e931 was okay…”9d20b66b3f0b948a

Only now ed6bf3b42c did Gureum c6e5a94414 begin to df2911090b sneak peeks 07cdebe2fb at Sieon’s eccc86103a expression. Ha. With a dry 54835ad647 laugh, Sieon ground 34368b8115 his teeth. It wasn’t 3f4a9568e7 like he ac56833a16 forgot to 0ca68b40ab invite him d53dfb1b9e on purpose—Sieon 0cb17fbe78 had left 9449d868df his own e143553e59 one-man guild 9c120ceca1 inactive because c715e064c4 there was 963cdcc2cc no one 557bc563ae else to 58cc867ead interact with. Sieon decided to 8e4b0f3291 let it slide 6d63de2be1 for now, pressing 84d3ff073f firmly on Gureum’s f506384a70 neck and giving b49d289945 it a little 08708fc82f shake.9b981da62a57a3ec

“I’m sorryyyy…” Gureum finally 53cf32bf7e squeaked out an apology, 91dffae078 his shoulders hunched in 397313bfb1 submission. Yet, even as 380ff5ebe4 he apologized, his 89662f536c fingers steadily moved c1a1b75eac his character toward 5a9c5cdcdc the guild battle ce865d8383 arena. Clearly, he thought Sieon bdfcab53d9 was just playing around. Sieon made a 032c43695c mental note to 2ebf787dbb fix that misunderstanding 38912e2b80 after the match.f7bf16d039055b8f

Without hesitation, Sieon 6f1565a2c7 synced his channel d7b2459317 with Gureum and 1cfdeb29f8 approached Miss Cutie e60a8ba0e7 Her. As soon 59d87f7aaa as she d11b7c037e saw Sieon, 094f8446a1 Miss Cutie 14189713c0 Her burst eba40ce171 into uncontrollable 998cce78dd laughter.ed6c472dcceba4dd

Sieon’s unsettling smile f6b6be5fb1 widened as he 55bd04265a adjusted his grip 41a9b36b2a on the keyboard. His eyes no d47d106d1f longer looked quite c8176eba43 sane.b79709ac191eff84

Both guilds’ members 4aafd43a88 didn’t seem to 71e4945197 think much of 6d846934bb Sieon’s actions. Gureum cast fad9397c1e a quick 9c0caf97ad sideways glance 6d28a86ddf at him. Sieon’s intense gaze ff00e642df was fixed on bf4d846539 the monitor, as 5b3515da1a if he intended 8addfcb900 to bore a c2d2a13a26 hole straight through 1d6f686798 it.7998dc4dada2bef9

The guild d78b79bae1 match began fa71247ea7 shortly after. A ten-minute countdown 9b662d4c49 started ticking. The guild that reached daf5c74b40 the goal zone the e7a2c7c424 most times would earn 748fc11a78 the highest guild points.ae253fa10c77e4d3

Gureum, still 1a9dfc04ac inexperienced in 7ede407edb guild battles e2af49eace after only c22e3ab9a1 a few 56688167ed weeks of e3741110e6 play, struggled c5cc065148 with his 36d5384d98 controls. The objective 702680db89 was to 4955712357 navigate through 8188fff4f2 obstacles and d2b5d4d8fb reach the 23092f29de goal, but 15d8c7855f the course 2c21535655 required precise 256b6876d1 maneuvers, and a133552ff1 Gureum hadn’t e66422f555 succeeded even 4d457da3df once yet.e3dffa486f04f6d3

He barely made 31d703104e it past the 3eba100e82 thorny path section ebe6fe2594 and entered the 4827a8d7fb snowy, slippery area. This was the most 0e1222c221 challenging section, requiring perfectly e407f896e7 calculated jumps. A single 9e068d96da mistake would 682f2003ea send players cfe6c8affc falling into cdea092205 holes they’d bae58fcef8 have to 12b20efd1c climb out 506cfe6144 of repeatedly, 805126b153 earning this 32c7d4a480 segment the fe9feb8072 nickname the c4ee99b768 antlion pit.ab7b460c7912f9d1

Everyone was desperately 45006f096c trying to cross 92b77577ba the section. Characters slipped this b8ed16d78d way and that, 5797f07158 and players needed f31ebca0cd to calculate the dfea861f4c sliding distances carefully d018fb4f18 to proceed.

Above the d452470b29 antlion pit, 43b52cc957 there was 0a5e8032a7 a small 91aeac7028 platform where 6758fd2ffa players could 16e7c9c8db throw snowballs. It was usually 9b73c5c27a used to disrupt deded903a2 other guild members, 952d27a160 but interfering during 4b51a5842a such a challenging 54ceb00b69 course was considered 99b8227e1a blatantly bad sportsmanship, 2951920b62 no matter the 066b0002f2 guild’s ranking.7eb5860ec35618d2

Yet, there Sieon was, 49402d34c9 perched on that very b4b8009262 platform, diligently gathering snowballs.9daba9784ee4ca27

[Battle][Yangyangyang] Miss Cutie Her: No freaking way.
Miss Cutie Her’s worst fears came true. Sieon hurled a snowball that struck her square in the head, sending her sliding into a deep hole.
[Battle][Yangyangyang] Miss Cutie Her: YOU *******!!! AHJUSSI, YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME?!
[Battle][Parallax] Chaesyongsyong: ^^

Sieon casually lobbed c661c66688 another snowball as 321d531699 Miss Cutie Her 76db40fcbb managed to climb c7d2c1d2a7 back up, hitting 8a06f8e517 her right in 993959d249 the face. It was intentional. Sensing things were escalating, d66b244a29 Hong Jalla tried to a07115bb84 move past quickly, but e3b2646222 another snowball came flying—this f204e1820b time at her back.d25f0445be4da7e8

[Battle][Yangyangyang] Hong Jalla: What the ****, did this old geezer lose his mind?
[Battle][Yangyangyang] Hong Jalla: Be honest. Are you 33 or actually 13?

Hong Jalla let 9f6bb4d571 loose a string adb440d22b of curses as fbf41d6367 she tumbled into cf990edf03 the hole. Sieon’s antics 67b6f3dd0e left Parallax’s 835159f544 guild master d2128c08cd visibly flustered.048059c55e400a3a

[Battle][Yangyangyang] Hong Jalla: This ****! Dropped again. Seriously, this is going on the Cloud Online forums, you hear me?!
[Battle][Parallax] Chaesyongsyong: Hehe.

At this point, Sieon 1064fe9b0a didn’t seem to care 6a69de033a about guild reputation. His sole focus was dea920816d relentlessly targeting Yangyangyang’s members. Unsurprisingly, the mood ae16f02596 turned hostile, with d48df00c0d both guilds’ members 03c612cff6 starting to argue.9e892f8666f36a89

[Battle][Yangyangyang] Meowmeowmeowmeowmeow: LOL, Parallax is full of cowards who don’t dare stand up to Chaesyongsyong. Total weaklings.

Seeing no 73239afdb7 way to 528a6e3eb5 calm things 9f1398572a down, Parallax’s e1a8d19341 guild master 80314a76dd finally raised 21c3129506 a white 3f53c20466 flag.14e3fb4c9dc4a601

[Battle][Yangyangyang] Miss Cutie Her: Sorry, no one to kick out here~! And we’re not giving up Heize!!!
[Battle][Parallax] Chaesyongsyong: Still haven’t learned your lesson, huh? ^^

The battle descended into 9f9406b35d utter chaos.
