Your Raid Leader-nim [END]

“Huu…”

Seongshin wiped away the sweat streaming down her face and sat down.

Living life as it came, she somehow discovered her talent: shooting.

Come to think of it, FPS was the easiest in other VR games.

If I had known this, I would have prepared sooner…

Thinking that, Seongshin turned her head and looked at the man in the corner of the practice room.

Name: Seo Harang.

A man who ended his career as a player at the young age of 26 and changed his path to coaching.

Although his career as a player was short, the career he built up in that short time was truly amazing.

Of course, that wasn’t why she was looking at him.

She was so surprised when she ran into Seo Harang at her junior’s wedding.

It was as surprising as when her small junior handed her the wedding invitation with a happy smile.

Of course, Seo Harang didn’t recognize Seongshin.

His whole mind was focused on his younger sister, Seo Hayeon.

Anyway, the important thing wasn’t that.

Seongshin got up from her seat, looking at Seo Harang, who she had recently started to feel strangely drawn to.

“Hmm…”

Harang frowned as he checked the players’ scores.

Was it because he had been letting them off easy lately? The players’ scores were not to his liking at all.

As he was wondering how to push the players, he felt a faint gaze from afar and raised his head.

A woman comes into Harang’s lowered gaze.

A woman with a slightly gloomy atmosphere.

Name: Seongshin.

She was one of the newcomers who had recently joined and had quite good scores.

And now.

That Seongshin was approaching Harang.

It wasn’t strange for a player to seek out a coach.

So Harang put down the report card he was holding and prepared to greet the new player.

What should he say to the players who come to him for advice around this time?

While he was thinking about that, Seongshin, who had come closer, finally opened her mouth.

“Um, um…!”

She looked very nervous.

Her complexion was also a little pale, so it seemed she was a bit awkward dealing with people.

Harang relaxed his expression and asked in a calm voice.

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you, by any chance, like Deron…?”

“…”

An unexpected question.

Deron.

Of course, he liked it.

Harang frowned at Seongshin’s question.

This wasn’t the kind of question that should be exchanged between a player and a coach.

It was to satisfy a purely personal curiosity.

But there was no reason he couldn’t answer.

“Yes, I like it.”

“Heok…!”

After hearing the answer, Seongshin nodded and quickly ran back to her original seat.

Harang, who was watching her retreating figure, tilted his head and picked up the report card again.

Was she just curious about that and asked the question?

It was the moment when the image of the woman named Seongshin was imprinted in Harang’s mind as a very strange person.

────

[I think it’s time to let go of this dead game] [22]

I think the game’s lifespan ended when they did that Ether update.

It seems like they’re just updating it now because of card pack sales.

The raid patterns that came out recently are also lazy LOL

Just unconditionally become tanky, unconditionally hit hard.

If you make a mistake, you’re immediately wiped out LOL

All the romance is gone.

(From Chickenmani’s Zero to Building Owner)

I started Deron after reading this book, why is the game like this?

This guy said he bought a building by playing Deron.

He said anyone can do it…?

Why is the gold price falling…?

Why…?

Why only me…?

He said I could live off selling gold for the rest of my life…?

Can’t I be a building owner…?

***

The current time is 2:30 PM.

Because I arrived at the airport according to the plane’s arrival time, there was a large crowd in front of the airport.

It’s not easy to find someone in the crowd scattering in all directions.

But I could find her.

That’s because the person I was waiting for had a different appearance from ordinary people.

Small height, silver hair.

Squishy-looking cheeks. Short arms and legs.

The person with all these characteristics was none other than Ellie.

“Ellie!”

As soon as I found Ellie, I raised my hand and shouted.

Ellie, who was holding a bag and looking around, found me and started running with a bright smile.

Ellie, who came running with her short legs dododo, hugged me.

“Hayeon!”

Huu- The soft scent of milk wafted over.

I hugged Ellie’s waist and smiled lightly.

Ellie’s waist was as soft and warm as ever.

“It’s been a while.”

“Have you been well?”

“Yeah.”

After ending the long hug, I stepped back slightly and looked at my friend’s appearance.

She looked the same as before.

Even though 2 years had passed, Ellie’s height remained the same.

Of course, I wasn’t tall either.

“Let’s go to the car first. We’ll get swept away by people if we stay here.”

“Good idea!”

I move to the car with Ellie.

The bright red sports car was well maintained, so it always looked like a new car.

“Have you decided where you’re going to stay?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Don’t worry about anything.”

“Hmm…”

I looked at Ellie sitting next to me.

It’s quite dangerous to take your eyes off the road while driving, but I wasn’t the one driving.

“Hayeon. You’ve finished all the preparations, right?”

“Of course.”

I nodded at Ellie’s question.

All preparations had already been completed before Ellie arrived.

All that was left was to go home with Ellie.

“How long are you staying in Korea?”

“I’m planning to stay until next year, probably.”

“Hmm…”

“You can say you’re happy if you’re happy.”

I smiled lightly at Ellie’s words.

The bright red sports car carrying me and Ellie drove very quickly and arrived at its destination.

The place we arrived at was none other than my and Sohee’s home.

It was the first time inviting someone to this place, but Sohee gladly allowed Ellie’s invitation.

“Is this the place…?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s a pretty good place.”

I take the elevator to the top floor with Ellie.

After arriving, I open the front door and enter the house.

“I’m home!”

As I shouted loudly and walked in confidently, Sohee, who was sitting inside the sofa, got up from her seat.

“It’s been a while.”

“Hmm… it has been a while.”

A subtly flowing tension.

Ellie, who was facing Sohee, nodded with a nervous look.

I carefully looked at the two.

In high school, Sohee used to show a subtly wary attitude towards Ellie, but now there was no sign of that at all.

“Sohee-ya. The settings are all done, right?”

“Yeah. I’ve set it up so you can log in as soon as it opens.”

I nodded at Sohee’s words and headed to the capsule room.

In the capsule room were my capsule and Sohee’s capsule.

And there was a capsule for the guest who came to our house.

I smiled bitterly as I looked at the capsule.

Who would have known that Deron would fail so badly.

To be exact, Deron was still being serviced, but the moment all the core developers moved, Deron’s life was as good as over.

“How long until the official opening?”

“About 30 minutes.”

I checked the time and answered.

The reason why Sohee, Ellie, and I gathered here was to log into the new RPG game that was opening today.

The RPG game created by the core developers of Deron who moved.

[Silk Road]

They couldn’t use the name Deron because of copyright, but every gamer knows.

That this Silk Road is the spiritual successor to Deron.

“Have you told the guild members?”

“Yeah.”

I nodded at Ellie’s question.

I had already announced it in the guild notice when rumors started spreading that Silk Road was opening.

As time passed, it was 10 minutes before the game opened.

“Well, I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit!”

While Ellie left, saying she was going to the bathroom.

“Hayeon-ah.”

“Yeah?”

Before getting into the capsule, Sohee called me.

“Are you going to make a guild again this time?”

“Of course.”

I nodded and answered.

There are still people who believe in me and follow me.

I was thinking of creating a guild again for their sake.

“And make a raid team too?”

“Yeah.”

“Hmm…”

“Why, do you not like it?”

“No. I don’t care. Hayeon is mine anyway.”

I smiled brightly at Sohee’s words.

She’s right.

I, Seo Hayeon, am your raid leader, Lee Sohee.
