Chapter 33 – Guild

Ŕｅａd ​öｎ ̈​K‌a‌t​&R;ｅ&a;di‌​ｎ&g;​Ca​fｅ

Through a survival battle royale, personnel were selected, interviews were completed, and the elite of the elite gathered: [Munchkin Cat] completed its first guild member recruitment.

Since there was no guild house yet, they rented a room inside LEORE and entered.

[Munchkin Cat], comprised of six men and six women, was now complete.

“Hello. Thank you all for joining my guild.”

As soon as everyone sat down, I began to explain the guild’s policies.

“First of all, it’s fine to freely use the guild chat, but creating separate chat rooms among guild members is prohibited for now. There’s no way to monitor it directly, so I’ll have to trust your conscience.”

The most dangerous thing in running a guild is the potential for division into factions. If that happens, even though everyone’s in the same guild, they only play and talk with each other, avoiding mingling with others.

Then, naturally, if their opinions diverge, conflict arises. All the guild members joined because of me, but these rules need to be stated upfront so that when problems do occur later, disciplinary action can be taken decisively.

Next.

“Please be mindful of potential incidents and accidents. To that end, everyone should keep their black boxes on.”

‘Black box’ in RPG terms has two meanings.

The first is, of course, video recording.

The possibility of avoiding incidents and accidents while playing an MMORPG is very low.

Because so many people play, there are bound to be some oddballs, leading to frequent occurrences like disputes or scams. Evidence might be needed, so video recording is essential.

Fortunately, LEORE also allows video recording.

There is a capacity limit, so it needs to be reset weekly. Because of that, many people don’t bother recording.

However, given the unpredictable nature of RPGs, video recording is essential.

The second is the meter.

The meter isn’t just for tracking damage.

Its advantage, and what makes it potentially intimidating, is that it records everything you and the party did, down to the minute and second.

It shows in detail everything from when, where, and how you moved, what skills you used, how much damage was dealt, how the boss’s damage was taken, and whether the Gimmick was handled correctly.

In other words, it clearly shows who is at fault during a raid.

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t make mistakes. Anyone can make mistakes. You can even swear or argue. But you need to acknowledge your mistakes and learn from them.”

I cleared my throat. My speech was getting long. At this rate, it seemed like it would be longer than the principal and vice-principal’s closing remarks, so I quickly wrapped it up.

“I’ve been talking for too long. So everyone, have fun in the [Munchkin Cat] guild.”

As soon as I finished speaking and sat down, everyone stared at me blankly, and Soonchu finally spoke.

“Arang. Are you really fifteen years old?”

“Yeah? I’m fifteen.”

“I thought you were someone who’s been playing RPGs for twenty years. I was planning to help you out because I thought it would be hard for you to manage the guild, but it doesn’t seem like you need it?”

“N, no way.”

I think I got a little too excited because it was my first time creating a guild in a long time, so I spoke without thinking too much. Now that I think about it, it didn’t sound like something an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl would say.

“Do you have any questions?”

“Me!”

Footwiper raised his hand the fastest, as expected of an assassin.

“Yes. What are you curious about?”

“Do you, by any chance, have any plans to hold a regular gathering?”

“Of course! I love regular gatherings!”

“Wow! Nice…!”

Everyone exclaimed and nodded, and Footwiper clenched his fist and rejoiced. Ah, I’m really sorry. He’s probably thinking about touching my feet at the gathering. I don’t know what to do.

After Footwiper’s question, the next person raised their hand.

[Munchkin Cat]

LV : 60

Arm Length 10cm

He was a Mister whose main job was a boxer. Pink Berry liked him a lot because of his skill and personality.

“Yes. Please go ahead.”

“You mentioned that you were going to clear all the dungeons this time and prepare for the raid. I was wondering if I could participate.”

“Ah, that’s right. I have an announcement for the guild. We’re going to do the [Abyss Entrance] raid in three days. The confirmed members are me, Pink Berry, Soonchu, and Kang Hangil, so we need to pick four more people.”

“Then will the remaining members be selected from the guild members?”

“Yes. Currently, we’re short one tank, two dealers, and one healer. You should know that I’m going into the raid without looking at any strategies beforehand. I’m going to be the Guild Leader, so it might be very frustrating. But if you’re interested, please whisper me.”

The moment I finished speaking, whispers flooded in.

“It seems like everyone here wants to do it. But there are only four spots… Hmm… Let’s sort it by job first.”

Everyone stated which jobs they could do, and everyone was capable of tanking, dealing, and healing.

Since I only picked skilled people, everyone was serious about LEORE. They had maxed out one tank, deal, and heal job and even geared up.

Okay. The last method is…

“I’ll decide by drawing lots. Those who don’t get picked this time will get priority next time!”

“Sounds good.”

“Okay!”

The raid party was decided after the lottery.

Party 1

Tank: Soonchu

Dealers: Lee Arang, Kang Hangil

Healer: Pink Berry

Party 2

Tank: Arm Length 10cm

Dealers: Footwiper, Myeongbang

Healer: I Eundal I

It’s a very reliable party. I’m looking forward to three days from now.

Today is rehabilitation training day.

I realized that the prosthetic arm and leg that I had temporarily attached for the meeting day were moving a little, and the nerves were coming back, so I asked if it would be okay to do rehabilitation training little by little, and they agreed.

It’s useless in the virtual world anyway, but I thought it would be good to be able to move the prosthetic arm and leg even a little bit because there will be many opportunities to go outside for regular gatherings or collaborations.

But…

As expected, there is still a long way to go. Arang’s traces left in the body were stronger because the time I lived as Arang was much longer than the years Arang lived as Arang.

The prosthetic arm’s fingers are trembling very slightly.

I imagine grabbing the bar in front of me and casting [Pentagon], but as expected, it doesn’t move as I thought it would.

I said I would do rehabilitation training, but it’s still boring.

On top of that, my head hurts, so it’s hard to concentrate.

“You worked hard today! It’s getting better and better!”

I nodded at the doctor Unnie’s words. When I look at it, nothing has changed, but the doctor Unnie always praises and comforts me. I think she’s trying to keep me from losing motivation.

The doctor Unnie carefully removed the prosthetic arm and leg attached to my lying body.

Hoo… This feeling of the sandbag disappearing from my body. It’s refreshing.

With the prosthetic arm and leg, my whole body feels heavy and stuffy.

In the first place, I’ve been living without arms and legs ever since I opened my eyes as Arang, so I’m used to not having arms and legs.

On top of that, it’s even harder because I have to attach them to my body. Originally, the bones and muscles should be supporting the arms, but I don’t have that, and I just have to fix it to my shoulders and remaining arms, so it’s not easy.

No matter how much the technology has improved, the machine that detects and moves brain signals is not very light, so it’s even harder.

Honestly, I want to quit everything and just stay in the virtual world. But I really want to go to regular gatherings and collaborations or festivals later, so I’m working hard.

My goal is to go to regular meetings and have fun without Anna Unnie’s help later.

To do that, I have to work hard at rehabilitation training.

Rehabilitation training is all hard, but I feel good when I get a massage at the end.

With the help of the doctor, I take a shower and a half-bath, and then get a massage to prevent muscle weakening, which is paradise.

Originally, I thought it felt good when the hairdresser washed my hair at the beauty salon in the past, but when I get a full-body massage, I really fall asleep.

Originally, I couldn’t sleep easily because I was trapped in a swamp of negative emotions in reality, but now I can even sleep.

When I wake up in the morning, I stretch and enter LEORE.

What I have to do today is get the doping drugs, food, and potions to use in the interior and raid.

I don’t know anything about life, so my first friend Pink Berry decided to help me with this part.

“This is how you do it. If you combine it like this…”

“Ah! I understand perfectly!”

“Really? Try it once.”

“…I failed!”

“Pfft, I got it.”

Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about life, either in my previous life or in this one.

With Pink Berry’s help, I was able to prepare the various supplies needed for the raid.

Now I can really enjoy the flower raid of LEORE!

I’m looking forward to how fun it will be.
