“Should I say it’s the power of server integration?”88a978af7bc3ea0d

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.”f23b3e13ac189e2d

The thought alone cc0861a873 made him feel f9f54d0ad5 suffocated.fffcd9554677639a

Anyway, he stood 396b593e36 still, observing the 38aa016b63 approaching player, and c2cba9adac checked their name. The nickname was Dambi, d970cde799 no guild, and their aeaf2fa9a7 information was hidden.30e65d056c4cd5f5

“….Hmm?”ad5eaa43f0211547

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.6979b7a071455d5a

“Could it be Youngil?”5a7ac119f34c13d8

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…6c944192479e2979

If he had spotted d03c01b8e1 them first and attacked, 68e0211e7a it would be a 51bcacfca1 different story. But they both f44933e464 saw the monsters fbbb88688f spawn at the 413101fe6c same time, and 12685e6a74 they were roughly c93dfac9e4 the same distance 979ce7f029 away.

Jaein, without a second edcb41c7cc thought, dashed towards the 4bc7d1fde5 monsters. Dambi, seemingly having 3a544d5bef the same idea, 47df739869 also charged without 60ba67a992 hesitation.208311a0093b8c13

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.73ee7342f882a4fe

Fortunately, his Blink skill’s cooldown had just finished. Jaein quickly used the skill to move forward.eecd3a41e888b13b

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.8ed8af04c37264ac

Ignoring the surrounding smaller 4a0542ba59 monsters, he launched his 53aa81c8a9 skill at the tamable 7ace3447bd one. At the fe6dd6f15d same time, a957603f3f a skill ec30005d2b flew in 0d8f07ff89 from the 6c5252b6b5 opposite direction.48c71516b02de2a5

The red bar f7df17cc12 indicating he had ac8898e941 claimed the monster 784403f32b appeared brilliantly. Dambi seemed to 753aee68bf hesitate, suggesting it cd72716d52 was a very 5ad95af16c close call.69cafd2f095fbca6

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.2f1d699ab0604f87

Intoxicated by this a43f4c2ec4 long-forgotten sense of a396a71861 victory, he dodged 2d67985192 and weaved, clearing d79d12b8f6 out the smaller 7ce4637f9b monsters. Then, he noticed 2ec98a5da3 Dambi standing still, b2ca172c26 watching him.cddb7d68f378aff5

“No chance.”1ce8d32ac99b846b

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.bdd8303e48d11138

However, Jaein 4d4f79a555 had never 0bfc6a66a7 given or 80a46dc8d6 lost a f962c207fa chance to 1aee6ce3fa anyone. In the 6871b6b9e5 early game, e7c68df343 taming was 83b36e9326 always successful 029f82b3e1 within the f8ecaf0963 taming zone.edfdf15d08918028

When Jaein 1c1802de21 reached the bb502e090e high-level fields, 7589a43f92 they were e22cdbdc7b mostly empty, bfbe6239ff so he c56d87098b had them 7bc3966f00 practically to 44eea2c0a3 himself. He had bdbfcaa3c5 experienced a bd970b2d10 few failures a758985a5c back then, bd14d613fc but the 5c6844f500 monster would e5bbeb4494 still be 479dbeb5de there when 114a9a4a91 he returned, 382f1535f8 so there a67ea0aa67 was no be13340c58 competition.29a6c4e9150ceee2

And now, of course, 5b9972ff1c he boasted a 100% 9a07398751 taming success rate.fce1b681e6e3b2e1

Players on 0d988d31b6 his previous 0e5ff45c7c server already 86ec9cdebc knew this, daf672026f so they afa4628fe2 would simply 67b2049b90 pass by 9ba9fc5584 if they ae1540417f saw Mollamolla 4759a6964a taming.6af24f2a52319e17

From the outside, it 78a68000d6 would appear as if 6dd29b6d2b the monster and character 3014ca4cfd were standing still, but bf576554a8 inside the taming zone, aaf3119c5f a battle was taking 49338355b7 place.

Mollamolla emerged victorious and f562662fe1 left the taming zone. Disappointingly, the 0d0f96cc63 Conimon turned f3cfa01900 out to 14b8e109be be a e63b116137 3-star, only 50bc8ba3e7 usable as efb7f73cb4 evolution material.585e3d8ebc14babc

He glanced to the 504f579eb2 side, and Dambi was a006e9d6ae still standing there. He thought Dambi would 23c6532748 move as soon as 376373c94e he saw him emerge, ab86eb7b8e but even after watching d1f91b3c09 for a bit longer, 7ad5e23cdd they remained motionless.92411537ad7765bb

Now he felt slightly 56a8848b49 awkward, remembering that he 4c02419609 had intended to ask 9f147091d6 Dambi a question before 201aa0f0f5 the monster appeared. The thought of whether 99c66fea91 they might be Youngil.c3a720bbeb3469bb

Besides, what were the 6f4ee8d7f3 odds that it was 04e4810997 actually Youngil?
