Raid Failure

Around the time raid preparations were in full swing, I received a letter.

[Hello. This is Deron.]

As you can tell from the title, it wasn’t sent by an ordinary user.

It was a letter sent directly to me by Deron’s GM.

The contents of the letter were as follows.

VRS pro players had sent me an invitation to a pre-event match, and if I accepted this invitation, I could participate in the pre-event match without any conditions.

I read the contents of the letter and groaned.

It seemed the VRS players still held onto the memory of when I kicked their asses.

Such nasty bastards. Trying to stab such a small and cute middle school girl like me…

I sighed and shook my head.

It was interesting, but I didn’t have time for it.

I had to form a raid party and try the raid.

A new raid. No strategies had been released, which meant I had to try everything from scratch.

I’d have to dedicate at least a week to the raid.

If that happened, I obviously wouldn’t have time to worry about the pre-event match.

I put the letter in my inbox and got up from my seat.

***

Time flew by, and it became Tuesday, January 23rd.

I nodded, looking at the raid members standing before me.

The newly selected members had arrived on time without being late.

“Everyone, you brought plenty of doping potions and potions, right?”

“We did~”

“Plenty. If anyone is short, let me know. I’ll share.”

I turned my head, watching the raid members chat.

New Raid [Corrupted Moonlight]

It was a dungeon with the setting that the moon goddess Lunaris had accepted evil power and become corrupted.

The large moon temple now housed a pale moon instead of the subtly shining moonlight.

The evil energy emanating from within clung to my arms and legs like goo.

That’s when I was examining the atmosphere of the dungeon.

The raid members, who had been whispering behind me, became quiet.

I turned my head slightly to look, and their gazes were directed at me.

A faint expectation arose in their eyes, especially the new recruits were sparkling.

I know what they’re expecting.

It was clear they wanted to see my rumored jump entrance.

“Are you really going to jump?”

“Of course. You’re like a total bunny.”

“Heok… Bunny Guild Leader-nim…”

I cleared my throat, listening to the raid members’ conversation.

I know too. How cute I look hopping in.

Where else would you find a guild leader who cares about the morale of their guild members like I do?

Receiving the expectations of the raid members, I leaped forward with energy.

“Heok…!”

“Sky color!”

As expected, it was the Snow Mage’s voice that I heard again.

Tadak-

My powerfully leaping body fell to the ground. But I didn’t feel the sensation I was waiting for.

When entering a dungeon, my body stops for a very brief moment.

This is because it goes through the process of creating a channel when entering an instance dungeon.

But, I didn’t feel that now.

“Huh…”

[Cannot enter the dungeon.]

“What…”

Cannot enter the dungeon? It was the first time I’d seen this message while playing Deron.

“Guild Leader-nim?”

“Yeona?”

At that moment, as if sensing something was wrong, Helena and the Snow Mage used Blink and approached me.

I waved my hands in front of the semi-transparent, shimmering entrance.

“Aren’t you going into the dungeon?”

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, I can’t enter!”

No matter how much I waved my body or tried to move forward, I couldn’t.

The dungeon did not allow my entry.

Helena, who was standing at the entrance of the dungeon, tilted her head and slowly walked forward.

“Uh…”

As expected…

Helena couldn’t enter the dungeon either.

She stared at the air with slightly surprised eyes.

She must have received the same message as me.

It was that moment.

A server message appeared that everyone in Deron could see.

[Hello. This is Deron.]

[A critical bug has occurred in ‘Corrupted Moonlight’, so entry to the dungeon has been blocked.]

[Please check the announcement on the homepage for more details.]

“Bug…?”

“So, we can’t enter?”

The raid members who had confirmed the message began to buzz.

I groaned and quickly accessed the Deron homepage.

As the server-wide message said, a critical bug had occurred in the raid dungeon Corrupted Moonlight, so all entry had been blocked.

The estimated time for the raid dungeon to reopen was undecided.

The patch date was also unknown.

“Ah…”

I’m drained. I had made thorough preparations for today.

I thought we were finally starting the raid, but suddenly a critical bug exploded.

What kind of bug was it that they hurriedly closed the entrance to the dungeon?

“What should we do?”

At the Snow Mage’s question, I looked at the waiting raid members.

Everyone was waiting for my words with bewildered expressions.

What to do.

We have to disband.

What else can we do?

I got up from my seat and raised the corners of my mouth.

“Everyone, you’ve checked the announcement, right?”

The raid members nodded with heavy expressions, as if they had guessed something from my words.

It was only delayed by a day. There was no need to be so gloomy.

I forced a smile and said to the raid members in a lively voice.

“It can’t be helped. Let’s disband for today.”

“How about waiting?”

It was a new raid member who had just joined this time who answered my words.

Although his skills might be a little lacking, I highly valued his passion and brought him in this time, and he was still sparkling his eyes.

“We don’t know when it will open, so it can’t be helped. It would be better for everyone to go do what they need to do rather than waiting aimlessly.”

“But, but…”

“There’s tomorrow. If not tomorrow, there’s the day after tomorrow. It will open someday.”

“Ugh…”

The new raid member drooped his shoulders with a gloomy expression.

The raid members, who had been watching the situation, began to scatter one by one.

In the end, only Helena and I were left.

“What kind of bug was it?”

“I wonder…”

I hesitated at Helena’s words and began to browse various communities.

Since it was a critical bug, there would be some reaction.

The first place I checked was the popular posts on the Deron Gallery.

As expected, the cause of this situation was posted there.

[Deron duplication bug 터짐ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [162]

There is a named monster in the raid dungeon Corrupted Moonlight that transforms and fights exactly like the enemy.

The duplication bug is happening through this guy.

It seems like there are a lot of top raid parties using this right now.

It’s only been about two days since the bug was discovered. I can’t even imagine how much they’ve made during that time.

The method of using the bug is as follows.

1. Summon a mount with a bag, such as a mule or donkey, and stuff expensive materials into the bag until it’s full.

2. Control the mount and send it to the named monster, and the battle between the mount and the named monster begins.

3. The named monster transforms into a random target around it at the moment of entering the battle.

4. Since there is only a mount around, the named monster transforms into the appearance of the mount.

5. When the battle between the mount and the named monster begins, the mount dies, of course.

6. When the mount dies and the battle ends, the same items that were stuffed into the mount’s bag are dropped around it.

7. Repeat this continuously.

Overseas communities are going crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴ[ㄹㅇㅋ;; I thought that crazy rice-eating bastard had just gone insane, but ㄹㅇ there was something going on]

ㄴ[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That bastard is so sensitive to gold price fluctuations]

[Did Korean guilds also use this?]

ㄴ[I heard that the leading groups all know about it. Wouldn’t they have used it?]

ㄴ[Then did the Malrang Cheondak guild use it too?]

ㄴ[ㄴㄴ They haven’t even started yet.]

[Student, take down the post.]

[The game is 망했노 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Aren’t they going to recover all the bastards who bought Transcendence Stones cheaply yesterday?]

ㄴ[않데!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

ㄴ[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

ㄴ[No, it was released by duplication, but it’s not as cheap as I thought?]

[Isn’t this a server rollback?]

ㄴ[It seems like they are currently assessing the situation ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Aren’t they going to have maintenance?]

ㄴ[They only closed the raid channel and are recovering the duplicated items.]

ㄴ[When are they going to recover all of that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[How did these bastards discover this?]

ㄴ[ㄹㅇ… It’s amazing to see this]

[Wow…]

They say you become speechless when you face an unexpected situation.

That was my situation now.

A duplication bug in Deron… The fact that wealth was being duplicated in a world that was like my life was a huge shock.

I stroked my throbbing forehead.

As I sat blankly looking at the gallery, new popular posts began to pop up like mushrooms.

[These bastards recovering items are so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [37]

[Screenshot of Deron’s GM taking back items]

I’m so dumbfounded that I can only laugh ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I thought he was a robber.

Suddenly, a GM bastard appeared in front of me and took my item, saying that the Transcendence Stone I bought at the auction house was a duplicated item.

He just reached out his hand without any exchange. The Transcendence Stone bundle in my inventory disappeared ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[The work is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Are these guys not closing the server and running around on foot?]

ㄴ[ㄹㅇ It seems like it. Aren’t they crazy? How much is that?]

ㄴ[It seems like they chose this instead of resetting the server]

[So, are they giving back the gold?]

ㄴ[ㅇㅇ I got a gold refund.]

ㄴ[Thank goodness;;]

[I was also recovered ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I used it on equipment, so the transcendence stage of the equipment decreased ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

ㄴ[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

“Huh…”

I was admiring the contents of the popular posts.

A man in a neat black suit appeared in front of Helena and me with a bright light.

An outfit that didn’t suit the fantasy game Deron at all.

The man, who looked like an ordinary salaryman, had a GM mark on his head.

“Hello. I’m a GM.”

“Heok…”

“Duplicated items have been found in Helena-nim’s account, so I’ve come to recover them. We will refund the gold used to purchase the items, so please understand.”

The GM spat out the words quickly in a very businesslike manner.

Then he reached out to Helena.

A user who posted on the Deron Gallery said.

Suddenly, a GM came and took away a bundle of Transcendence Stones.

It seemed Helena was going through a similar procedure.

At that moment, the GM’s hand flashed, and a bundle of Transcendence Stones poured down on it.

The maximum number of Transcendence Stones that can be stacked is 99. Usually, that is called a bundle, and a huge number of such Transcendence Stone bundles poured down.

Not one or ten. It was a huge number, more than hundreds at first glance.

Hududududuk-

“Huh…”

The GM groaned, looking at the Transcendence Stone bundles scattered messily on the floor.
