SANN | Chapter 11.1

The sound of the 44d325cafb door creaking open echoed 03cf7af2d0 softly. Sieon turned around to 0d2d1412bc see Gureum standing there, b414516076 dressed in only Sieon’s 0e61f5331e pajama top. Gureum tilted his head 2730781b98 slightly when he saw bb939899e4 Sieon sitting in the 8b9c40b2ef gaming chair.1f45ce1306ecf0e0

“Huh? Hyung, are you going a7262cdbdd to play a game?”f863f97179f65f01

“Yeah. It’s been a while 28bc2ea7cc since I joined a 9e7c33ebbe match. Sit down, Gureum.”4d50e83fb25a2f9d

Sieon patted the chair e79c638164 next to him. Gureum scurried ed6b6f3feb over and de4d9aa1e1 plopped down. He turned cff56c8612 on his e4a03c2f56 PC and 2d0a92baaa launched Cloud 8a07ca0200 Online. Logging in, he 9f8e87b640 clicked on hazeee 836c3bd6b6 to enter the 73f9ed39f0 game, but something e649e95a5f felt off.9af0af9c94f615a3

Watching Gureum’s monitor ab508c154c with narrowed eyes, f4ef85f84d Sieon raised an c3c516370d eyebrow.37b2cd6dc0e78001

Sieon leaned closer be96864e67 toward Gureum. Yangyangyang. He wasn’t mistaken. Letting out b070168200 a scoff, 82ebe00f4e Sieon glared b2e501143f at Gureum, f727effd03 whose wide, 501e232ad3 innocent eyes 3881e30546 stared back 0bd66f73a2 at him, c6ccb5b1ea completely clueless 3fa9fef282 as to 66fa2092cc what was f7ed28580d wrong.b1589bcbfa84ec02

“Gureum… Why 9dcff0bc3d didn’t you 8bf81194a5 tell me f346cfdbd5 you joined 4c6e92f68e a guild?”c7e8f80f6c1d4aff

“Well… you didn’t ask 57ecff6e27 me to join yours, 7cb66566a6 so I thought it 88558e2025 was okay…”7120e6b3a8236f91

Only now c4772283d4 did Gureum a46ff1c16b begin to a998fc8d34 sneak peeks 734da09ec8 at Sieon’s d2188b1c84 expression. Ha. With a dry 7a8e086a5c laugh, Sieon ground 55f7522ee9 his teeth. It wasn’t 1a29b99e71 like he 71e2034a9b forgot to d4193a340d invite him 9b21fed79d on purpose—Sieon 4607065691 had left 972bca4c38 his own 3d646fbf9a one-man guild 15f37728ee inactive because 1bcbfb12c7 there was f3d689be2e no one 7a829378b4 else to b3189beff0 interact with. Sieon decided to let 6d68aac0dc it slide for now, edc3fc48a7 pressing firmly on Gureum’s b27c1bae75 neck and giving it 536d7cafd4 a little shake.8b6b5fb543ee7715

“I’m sorryyyy…” Gureum finally 0457b4a1d1 squeaked out an apology, 868e1cfe57 his shoulders hunched in c136eb62e2 submission. Yet, even as 5acb395400 he apologized, his 315bd95e60 fingers steadily moved 024e7cdfdd his character toward 2eafe0991c the guild battle 3cebbb28f9 arena. Clearly, he 2682da0594 thought Sieon 2ff937c98d was just ffee242094 playing around. Sieon made f4907332c0 a mental 11bb96391e note to 491405174e fix that 3b6b2c9bae misunderstanding after cca268f8ef the match.91b19cd9bc97422d

[General Chat] Meowmeowmeowmeowmeow: We don’t take sloppy guild members who can’t even manage their own husband, kekekekeke.

The Yangyangyang guild members f039715c1b pounced, mocking Sieon for a1dbd2dcca failing to keep his eab6c68702 guildmate. Veins visibly 7e945398e7 throbbed on 80a3b996f1 Sieon’s forehead d511b5ef3f and hands.51dbc3ef360a2657

Sieon’s unsettling smile 3e9d18a4e5 widened as he 0b005764de adjusted his grip bd165e0f97 on the keyboard. His eyes no 726dc5bc0a longer looked quite 51c0649f88 sane.abbd233b7ff766a5

Guild battles b4746de1eb matched guilds 83951c8bef of similar 92235e7b9c rankings. All the queued 8cc6404322 guilds were well-known 41f94a2c21 names on the 1b0b92fade server.

It was 2be59a9b33 an unspoken fda7b6c90d rule.21034e51453e2c23

The match began. Predictably, the Yangyangyang guild 33c77f39b5 and Sieon’s guild, Parallax, 7d2c94e6ad found themselves in the 5efca55e35 same field.72a75093670d5b68

Both guilds’ members didn’t 238020fa97 seem to think much 6b5181afdf of Sieon’s actions. Gureum cast a 13d83c140d quick sideways glance c6292ae5f3 at him. Sieon’s intense gaze 23fdf1f527 was fixed on b26dbad57b the monitor, as 6eb0117210 if he intended 6bfd1c2ce6 to bore a 1f7602c29d hole straight through 9a2d758050 it.78c52153639fc430

The guild a184cedb26 match began aa858acd6f shortly after. A ten-minute countdown ebd4bfe578 started ticking. The guild 7c33458075 that reached 4ae3b62f9a the goal 38be394fca zone the 717a015767 most times a9420de463 would earn 29fb9cd235 the highest 43989d2b85 guild points.8c5a56310dda8ba9

Gureum, still 7f97c08df3 inexperienced in e11204d9b3 guild battles f5eb6698b6 after only cd0f4b1d56 a few c77da129a2 weeks of fb66647522 play, struggled 2940fdff78 with his 58e15b153a controls. The objective 95056e55ae was to 75f992b0aa navigate through 015885536d obstacles and bac465695b reach the 914f8940cb goal, but 53e44a4ccf the course 3386522331 required precise 687ccd01be maneuvers, and 0107e91edd Gureum hadn’t 7e0001d7bb succeeded even 3060f78387 once yet.04430ae4004c8dad

He barely made 20688fed4b it past the e9f6d07757 thorny path section 186366d793 and entered the a669ab53dd snowy, slippery area. This was 524a84e9e6 the most 00fae81377 challenging section, a05871bfe9 requiring perfectly 145050ac94 calculated jumps. A single 08ac18b310 mistake would 7031b9f1cb send players 981452a530 falling into 8748d61d6c holes they’d 45e9e4aa52 have to 6d580560b3 climb out 13fa3fa1c2 of repeatedly, 63c9b7088d earning this edffc52017 segment the e14096f4ab nickname the a50c63a777 antlion pit.55aa29ade81daef9

[Battle][Yangyangyang] Hong Jalla: Wait, what is that guy doing?
[Battle][Yangyangyang] Hong Jalla: That ahjussi isn’t running; he’s gathering snowballs!

[Battle][Yangyangyang] FluffyFluff: No way… I thought maybe, but he’s actually trying to get himself punched in the face mid-match.

Above the 5bbbbd5099 antlion pit, c2daa4b5fe there was d87632e3bb a small 59dfcc154c platform where 031fda254d players could 590c01267c throw snowballs. It was usually used a3a34abdb6 to disrupt other guild 9b70d4da66 members, but interfering during de16ee783d such a challenging course 94eeafff9e was considered blatantly bad 55e6f5ebb4 sportsmanship, no matter the d1b6050c83 guild’s ranking.e7a3d145360a09ee

Yet, there Sieon was, 7c72a02f76 perched on that very 91f8082efc platform, diligently gathering snowballs.5cc782152efd6aee

[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 0d0d6f0c69 another snowball as 147a03886a Miss Cutie Her 65c56e91d8 managed to climb 3de88004f4 back up, hitting 0f120e5920 her right in dea00634f2 the face. It was intentional. Sensing things were escalating, 6ebfdd58da Hong Jalla tried to 244c824962 move past quickly, but 580b420501 another snowball came flying—this a54ef16a6a time at her back.8ed48f80fe21017a

[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 73dd5bfcde let loose 938a05f333 a string 85c94d078a of curses 7672a65cd3 as she 7e6279cba7 tumbled into 5961e516c3 the hole. Sieon’s antics left Parallax’s efb55c8370 guild master visibly flustered.8614e0dac3d95787

[Battle][Parallax] Pmoss: Uh… guess you weren’t joking. ㄷㄷ;;
[Battle][Parallax] Pmoss: Our sincerest apologies for a guild member’s unilateral actions….
[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, 895bfe12e9 Sieon didn’t seem e4947617ce to care about 95a793484f guild reputation. His sole ededa1e23d focus was 2a08dc00df relentlessly targeting 9bb6a2b450 Yangyangyang’s members. Unsurprisingly, the mood turned addd33678e hostile, with both guilds’ e8c00e063b members starting to argue.bad1dd9eccd458dd

[Battle][Yangyangyang] FluffyFluff: Oh my god, I’m furious. What the hell is Parallax doing, not stopping Chaesyongsyong?!
[Battle][Parallax] zlJonnaMore: Hey, your guild leader’s almost thirty too, so watch your mouth.
[Battle][Yangyangyang] Hong Jalla: Yahhhh, is this dude even human?!
[Battle][Yangyangyang] Miss Cutie Her: Can’t hear you, old man. You’re still older than me (ㅗ•^•ㅗ).
[Battle][Yangyangyang] FluffyFluff: Look at this guy’s username—zlJon! My dad wouldn’t even come up with something that lame.
[Battle][Yangyangyang] Meowmeowmeowmeowmeow: LOL, Parallax is full of cowards who don’t dare stand up to Chaesyongsyong. Total weaklings.

Seeing no way e53101c95c to calm things a3db29ff32 down, Parallax’s guild d79a215e37 master finally raised 2de501824e a white flag.3cb86612203d0733

[Battle][Parallax] Pmoss: Can someone just take Chaesyongsyong off our hands? Or we’ll trade him for Heize. Please kick him out….
[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 1f702b7e36 utter chaos. Members from Parallax c2098431fb and other guilds f39f5fb811 started crossing the a55fafbc5d finish line one f6595afc13 by one, but 02869e7796 not a single 5b71ddc2f6 Yangyangyang member had 3dd22c3efb reached the goal 9789696367 yet.8880c720db955d92

Meanwhile, Gureum 9dfd47397b finally reached 60d6ba5cfc the antlion 0d32703c07 pit. With Sieon furiously c97353edc5 pelting snowballs from 6bbe8ce99b above, Gureum hesitated. Should he acb769f3f1 try to e2afdbee1f pass or 412c656f74 not?16b11d268fa173db
