“Should I say it’s the power of server integration?”95615559894685cc

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.”28001772fa311a77

The thought alone made de711c6296 him feel suffocated.42b709d34c3ca4f7

Anyway, he stood still, 79438c0b60 observing the approaching player, d7b4ce06f6 and checked their name. The nickname was Dambi, f179fbaca5 no guild, and their bec1994ab2 information was hidden.d627a32dbc4a0ff9

“….Hmm?”485bbb97d38ab7e6

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.ee28dbef74ff96b6

“Could it be Youngil?”ea0f27bb6c06663f

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…efe258d43f3e2d6e

If he had 57eb676896 spotted them first 885120a07b and attacked, it d98cde6bb9 would be a 787176da0c different story. But they both 5f6645aee5 saw the monsters d08089290f spawn at the f671f720b0 same time, and 4b7f46f23a they were roughly 3037c357a8 the same distance 8f5d8ca9a8 away.

Jaein, without a second 6b47aae265 thought, dashed towards the 0744e57721 monsters. Dambi, seemingly having 095432348e the same idea, 8bf3f2154a also charged without eaa28a6270 hesitation.8d17a7a4e06c6a7a

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.0722e94bf61a7827

Fortunately, his Blink skill’s cooldown had just finished. Jaein quickly used the skill to move forward.e09d240b57319ecd

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.4354b97ebb2b0f62

The red bar indicating c2954f654c he had claimed the 4201315749 monster appeared brilliantly. Dambi seemed 367164590c to hesitate, d13915e9ce suggesting it a0ae3f4459 was a a729beefa1 very close e7e607b889 call.c4fcaf0f21e1f022

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.8476d4832ea2ed7f

Intoxicated by e1cde1dd79 this long-forgotten 7ce4adb37a sense of 7d3c20d71f victory, he 39d35176be dodged and c1e719c98e weaved, clearing 055b3685e4 out the b238b28b6b smaller monsters. Then, he 7ccf72c8db noticed Dambi 892e524fd4 standing still, 373e0108dd watching him.a976982027144c88

“No chance.”6fb813435b1426c3

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.b73e0dcdbe7f30bb

If the second player cdcc6898dc succeeded in taming, that d98168acfe was the end of 4e6196f83d it. But if they also e4b82bcf1a failed, the monster would 6a7c0f97e6 disappear. Both would lose 9582df0654 out.f6955656b8f463b9

This happened quite often in high-level fields. Even with good equipment, the battles weren’t easy.59d21fca1f1a2448

However, Jaein had 5dd6bf7864 never given or 040d6a2d3b lost a chance c1a6fe3074 to anyone. In the early game, 863b76602b taming was always successful be945045a2 within the taming zone.1e3f3f0ebd91cdd3

When Jaein reached the 46ff5d0149 high-level fields, they were db8eb1a93d mostly empty, so he 973f840faa had them practically to ff8fae12db himself. He had experienced f4893df792 a few failures f9d133ce85 back then, but 92f396a532 the monster would 2cab0ca8dd still be there e7cb58d1c4 when he returned, 1428d8b826 so there was d2bbf0ddf9 no competition.991cff9e48f8c9ff

And now, of course, 6572eb1ad3 he boasted a 100% c2ca86ead6 taming success rate.17c09c68b3c36c28

Players on his previous a8a4620b0e server already knew this, c6697895f8 so they would simply 872c47afdb pass by if they c3afd81fb9 saw Mollamolla taming.58b596e3e3ef76ae

From the outside, 226c5c55bb it would appear a36dc0fee7 as if the d3b6bc0342 monster and character dbd4ecd902 were standing still, a4a1d3e00e but inside the 0a266a24f8 taming zone, a dd111fa889 battle was taking 29ec9f64ac place. The field background 4557a860a4 remained the same, dd8ced5c4c but other than ca64abe5dd the monster and 4fe2aecf94 his own character, dfa5c47806 little else was a80cda0241 visible.ccdfe5fa81505f8f

Mollamolla emerged victorious and 2a401d6a60 left the taming zone. Disappointingly, the Conimon turned 12fa160dce out to be a 21fddf40d7 3-star, only usable as d57e29c9f1 evolution material.ff1898cbadc43380

He glanced to bbb6b8e751 the side, and b2f246bd04 Dambi was still 8d026b4918 standing there. He thought Dambi would 2c894cf126 move as soon as 70d4f97aea he saw him emerge, 69e1f2ca1d but even after watching 14a904ba55 for a bit longer, 03fce5fd8a they remained motionless.016de32ee9323379

Besides, what were the 244e0b5421 odds that it was d836b2fa8f actually Youngil? If it were that 98e22935b5 easy to find him, b8e387f502 his identity would have bb89ead9a3 been revealed back on 1f68533553 the Lucan server.

For one reason or another, the circumstances didn’t seem right, and his curiosity about Dambi quickly faded. Thinking it best to avoid making things worse, he decided to leave.f35ba3feb540fb5f

He wasn’t sure whether it was his fault for discovering the error late or the monster’s fault for spawning at that moment. Either way, he couldn’t deny the impeccable timing, albeit in a bad way. He let out a heavy sigh.1d02be1a6b833c5f

Dambi’s message clearly conveyed their incredulity. Moreover, while most players tried to be polite when talking to strangers in MMORPGs, unlike in AOS games, Dambi seemed to have no such intention. It meant they were truly offended.5d9b9ec5454bf742
