Han Sua felt a bit unfairly treated, to be honest.

From her perspective, it was an action taken with good intentions and thorough calculation.

If you saw a newbie at level 1 struggling to survive against a level 10 monster, wouldn’t it be right for the person who started the game first to help?

The orc wasn’t so low on HP that it would die from Han Sua’s gentle attacks, and she thought that if she bought some time, she could help the newbie hunt the orc more stably.

However, there were precisely two problems. First, the girl who had just started was getting greedy and trying to change her class to a thief instead of the familiar mage. Second, unlike the orc, a level 1 newbie could die from even one of her weak attacks.

As a result, her inexperienced skill caused the thrown dagger to pierce the newbie’s side, and in the end, Han Sua gained the title of “Newbie Massacre” from the viewers.

“I’ll apologize, then I’ll change my class to a mage!”

-Finally

-Hahaha

-Did the newbie accept the apology? Hahaha

-Changing to a mass murderer of newbies?

-Trying to efficiently kill newbies, huh

-Hahaha

Hurriedly, Han Sua moved her steps to the temple and smacked her forehead.

Why did it have to be! The newbie’s avatar looked exactly like ‘Cat Eyes’!

Of course, she understood. The biggest reason ‘Cat Eyes’ became a hot topic was precisely because of its peculiarly cute yet sexy appearance.

But even if it was just because the avatar looked alike, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that she had repaid kindness with enmity, and guilt pricked her heart.

-Hahaha

-Han Sua, the benefactor of life, killed someone

-You killed them…

-You did a great job putting them into a coma

-Repaid kindness with death

-Even grew a tail;

Moreover, the newbie, whether sincerely committed to authenticity or not, had even attached a tail, which is known to be difficult to handle.

In fact, Han Sua’s first character also started with a tail but was deleted due to the difficulty.

It was natural. Even if a person suddenly grows a third arm, it would be equally challenging to handle.

Feeling helpless and dumbfounded at the absurdity of dying, the newbie stood there for a while before responding. Hansua, from a distance, looked on, feeling awkward.

“What should I do? They won’t quit the game because of me, right?!”

– If it were me, I’d quit.

– Hurry and go apologize.

– You’re the one who killed the newbie!!!

– Koma really looks like a cat’s eyes, identical to a dog’s.

“Mistake, apologize, beg for forgiveness.”

“How do I apologize! What item should I give?! Guys! What does a newbie need?”

In the end, she decided to seek help from the viewers.

What’s an item that’s not too expensive but appropriate for making amends?

– Just give some potions.

– Give gold, gold.

– Money is the best apology.

– Maybe just Suah’s aegyo (charms) would work?

– How about gold instead of potions?

“Potions… wouldn’t that seem too insincere? How much gold should I give…”

As Suah pondered what to give, a chat message caught her eye.

– How about giving Blessings?

Blessings.

An abbreviated form of “Goddess’s Blessing,” a buff-type item. When used, it grants 500% resistance to all elemental damage and increases all stats by 5 for a mere 15 minutes.

Certainly, as levels increase, obtaining it isn’t so difficult, and in the lower level ranges, there’s no item as helpful as Blessings.

“Blessings? Should I give Blessings?! How many should I give? Um… about 3?”

-No no no no no

-Nope nope

-Give 5

-Stick 3 to someone’s nose?

-Give everything you have?

-Giving everything to a newbie…? Oh my god

“5…? Isn’t that too much to give…? I don’t have many Blessings either. At level 1, there’s no penalty for death.”

-The perpetrator… responding?

-You almost made the newbie quit the game because of you!!!

-We must… obey…

“Why are you so persistent?”

“Oh, I see! I’ll just give them then…”

With tears in her eyes, Suah took out 5 Blessings from her inventory.

Even though Suah was only at level 47, she only had 8 Blessings, and she was giving away more than half of them.

“Yeah… It’s my fault….”

However, tears were inevitable. I tried to help!

Nevertheless, as it was a broadcast, Han Sua, careful not to show her inner sadness, cautiously approached the newbie.

“Excuse me….”

* * *

Just after resurrecting at the shrine, I absentmindedly received the perks of the [Golden Premium Full Dive Device].

Should it really be called the [Golden Premium Full Dive Device]? It was worth the 300,000 won.

Through this device, playing full-dive games provided appropriate rewards without ruining the game’s balance.

[1-hour experience x2 potion], [high-level HP recovery potion], and [high-level MP recovery potion], each with 10 pieces. Additionally, 30 gold and a title called [Big Spender]. Finally, up to 10 [Blessings of the Goddess].

“Oh….”

Among them, the most noticeable item was undoubtedly the [Blessing of the Goddess].

For high-level potions, due to the nature of RPG games, when you reach a high level, you end up stocking thousands in your warehouse and drinking them like water.

However, this item, the [Blessing of the Goddess], becomes more efficient as your level increases.

[Blessing of the Goddess]

[Epic]

Duration: 15 minutes

Effect:

Gain 500% resistance to all attributes

All stats increase by 5

10% additional increase in attack power

8% additional increase in defense

1-time resistance to death (0.5 seconds)

(Non-stackable)

A 5-point increase in all stats. Truly an outrageous buff.

At low levels where leveling up is fast, you might not see a significant effect, but at high levels, it will surely be a remarkable item.

It could truly be considered an item exclusively for raid bosses.

As it’s a consumable item used for raiding, it shouldn’t be too difficult to obtain, but…

It’s not to the extent of being completely useless at low levels either.

I plan to maximize efficiency by using [Blessing of the Goddess] and [x2 Experience Potion] together.

This is truly lightning-speed leveling…!

Moreover, receiving 30 gold means I can buy items for beginners.

In simple terms, I am invincible right now…!

“Hehehe….”

As I indulged in regular moments of self-absorption, someone cautiously approached me.

“Excuse me….”

Turning around, I saw a familiar face. Han Sua… Did I say that?

Thanks to Dalseul, I know her name too. Han Sua, a superhuman and streamer. It could also be said that she’s the reason the name “Cat’s Eye” started to spread.

Not only that, she’s someone who has been following me around the neighborhood for a while.

Thinking of her as a stalker, my nonexistent guard suddenly rises.

I glare at her with my tail held high.

“…What’s going on?”

“Oh, um… you’re really good at customizing… hehe…”

“…?”

Ah, perhaps she thinks I’m not the real “Cat’s Eye,” but someone who looks similar. I guess that’s somewhat fortunate.

Looking at Han Sua, who is scratching the back of her head foolishly, it seems certain.

“…Thank you.”

I give thanks because she roughly complimented me, wanting to leave without getting involved.

“Wait a moment!”

Han Sua grabs onto me tightly.

What’s this? Was my body really her target after all? Was she just a pervert who didn’t care if I was the real Cat’s Eye or not, as long as I had cat ears and a tail?!

A shiver runs down my spine as I quickly glare at her, causing her to release my wrist in confusion.

“Oh… um, I haven’t apologized yet.”

“…Apologize?”

“Yes… I, uh, touched your side earlier, didn’t I?”

She mumbles, poking her own side with her fingertips.

What does she mean? Did she touch my belly without me realizing it?

As I ponder for a moment, her username finally catches my eye.

[HanSuaAat]

The nickname “Han Sua” seems to have been taken, as it’s written as “HanSuaAat.”

It was dyed a bright red, like blood.

It means the one who killed the same player, a red player.

“…I see. So it was you.”

Now everything makes sense. The dagger that flew and struck my side while I was fighting the orc.

I hadn’t seen the face of the person who threw it, but it seems likely that it was her doing.

“Oh… that. It was a mistake. I was trying to help because you looked in danger…”

“…Is that so?”

“I want to apologize…! I-I’m really sorry!”

Han Sua bowed deeply, her eyes filled with tears. From the side, her perfect apology looked as if she had bent at a 90-degree angle.

For some reason, her appearance seemed so cute that I couldn’t help but feel like teasing her.

“Oh… I thought you came to gank me again.”

“N-No way…! I don’t get pleasure from killing newbies or anything like that….”

“Just kidding.”

“Kidding…?”

With a puzzled expression, Han Sua momentarily glanced at me with a blank look, then reached into her pocket and pulled out a few items as if she had forgotten.

“I… it’s small, but as a gesture of apology, here, take this….”

What she offered me was none other than three [Blessings of the Goddess].

Moments ago, I had been staring in disbelief at the [Golden Premium Full Dive Device], an item identical to what she was offering, as a special reward.

Although I almost took it in the spirit of her apology, suddenly her level caught my eye.

[LV.47]

Level 47. It was a high level that couldn’t be dismissed easily.

In a similar newbie situation, it felt a bit guilty to accept such a good item after making a mistake.

It was a little disappointing, but I decided to refuse the gift.

“I don’t need it.”

“Gasp….”

Han Sua looked shocked.

It was kind of amusing.
