[General] rainfall: it’s been half a year since i first met you ingame

[General] kk1234: half a year?

…It really was an old story. I seriously can’t believe it.

[General] rainfall: i stopped you from beating up the newbies and you killed me

I don’t remember anything like that.

You remember that? Someone must have been beaten once or twice to remember something like that.

But still…

Half a year ago? Do you know what you were eating for lunch half a year ago? Do you keep count of how many slices of bread you’ve eaten since then? Who remembers that?

[General] kk1234: i did that half a year ago?

[General] rainfall: yeah

[General] kk1234: but why are you beating me up now?

Was he crazy?

I just wanted to get away from this persistent freak, but rainfall added me as an unlikely friend.

[General] rainfall: im going to walk around with you to make sure you dont beat anyone up

[General] kk1234: ok

[General] kk1234: got it

Could I do anything about it? This freak will try to kill me if I don’t.

In the end, I was stuck in the same boat with a crazy guy.

It is said that the globally popular game "Wending" (Ascension) has a hidden achievement:... more>>

Whoever finds the "Imperial Seal of the Nation" will win 100 million RMB.

Ying Long was once an ordinary player in the game, but on the game's tenth anniversary, she was reborn.

When the heavens offer nothing, one must bear the consequences; she has now decided to seize this huge fortune.

Ah, money is hard to earn, and it's all about grinding—storylines, dungeons, and competitions, none can be skipped.

Grind, grind, grind—until one day, she suddenly realizes she resembles the Nine Provinces dominator from her past life, Bei Ya.

He was once the character she admired, the source of her motivation to improve her skills.

Now? Facing her biggest competitor, whoever shows mercy is a fool.

Her first move upon rebirth: to defeat the person she once had feelings for.

YeLang: You can also choose not to take the husband but the debt instead.

LingYang: Dear, can I not have the free gift?

Yu Mi is a small-time artist who gets dragged into playing a 3D martial arts online game by his roommate. As a newbie, he bravely ventures into a 25-player battlefield, only to get beaten up badly. A healer kindly supports him throughout, and Yu Mi keeps thanking them, “Thanks, Hua Hua, for healing me!”... more>>

Before the match ends, someone can’t help but speak up with a cold voice, “Who are you thanking, cutie? It’s your divine calculation dad who’s healing you!”

Yu Mi is startled, “Who? What? Who’s talking??” Shortly after, he gets solo killed by the other player.

Yu Mi is dumbfounded, “Master, I got solo killed by a healer! QAQ” He accidentally sends this private message to the world channel, causing the entire server to explode with ten minutes of question marks.

Yu Mi posts his newbie diary online, and it unexpectedly goes viral. The game officials personally urge him to update, and countless people are eagerly waiting for more.

In reality, his daily life goes like this—

Yu Mi: “Brother, heal me a bit.”

[Who Do You Think You Are] : “Cutie, I’m not a healer, go ask someone else to heal you.”

Yet, Yu Mi’s health keeps getting healed.

Yu Mi: “Bro! Save me, save me, save me!!”

[Who Do You Think You Are] : “Can’t save you, survive on your own.”

Yet, Yu Mi receives a damage-reducing shield.

Yu Mi goes to a comic convention with his school’s anime club senior, using his drawings as freebies for fellow fans, and plans to meet his in-game divine calculation brother at the convention.

The senior cosplays as an adult male character, showing off his chest, and is surrounded by people taking photos.

Yu Mi messages the divine calculation brother, “I drew a signed sketch for you, I’ll give it to you later.” A senior with massive pecs parts the crowd, walks up to Yu Mi, and extends his hand.

“My signed sketch, thank you.”

Yu Mi stares blankly at him, almost exploding like popcorn.

Later, the two play the game together.

Qi You’an’s voice is gentle, “Come here, I’ll heal you a bit.”

Yu Mi blushes, “No… no need…”

Qi You’an: “Let’s be ‘close friends’ who can kiss, okay?”

Yu Mi: “Sure. Huh? Mmm…!”

Qi You’an’s family is in the feng shui business, and due to family tradition, he enjoys playing game classes related to mysticism. When he was young, a master predicted that the Qi family would end with his generation, but couldn’t figure out why.

His parents, fearing he might die young, urged him to exercise and work out from a young age. He developed eight-pack abs and massive pecs at a young age.

Later, Qi You’an brings Yu Mi home to meet his parents. His parents finally understand why their family might end.

So, she prepared to play the game. When Yamamoto-san started playing the game, she found that her unique skill was too strong like a cheat-level skill…

I don't read the manga so I don't know how it's translated, but it's probably also a weird expression even in Japanese that it became a nickname for the character. I don't read the manga so I don't understand the context but from googling, it seems either it's literally he has good balance, has good physical or technique all around, or able to handle anything. <<less

Former all-server #1 Support ranker, Baek Dohee (m), known as GoingSupport, who’s walked the pure and lonely road of Support all his life.... more>>

It’s been three years since he started Sword of God, one of the two pillars of MMORPGs praised as god-tier games… but what’s the point of others calling it a god game? To him, it’s a dead game.

Disillusioned with the never-improving treatment of the Support class in-game, he eventually started raising one of the most overpowered DPS classes, Dark Assassin, and got a taste of thrilling burst damage and respect.

But the excitement of playing a DPS didn’t last long. After letting go of the Support he’d raised with so much care, and quitting streaming altogether, Dohee slowly began to lose interest in the game.

Around that time, a major raid update rolled out. Unable to quit completely thanks to his cousin’s insistence, Dohee stuck around just doing daily quests half-heartedly. One day while passing through a hunting field, he spotted a clumsy-looking newbie Support who couldn’t even take down beginner monsters… and ended up helping without even meaning to.

“What’s up with this kid’s nickname?”

[Whisper to GOingSupport187] : What’s with your username? lol You look like a bootleg version of that bastard GoingSupport.

[Whisper from GOingSupport187] : GoingSupport is a legend! How could you call him that ㅠㅠ;; That’s way too harsh…

A clueless newbie dreaming of becoming the second coming of Support,

and a grizzled veteran who can’t hear the word “Support” without his eyes twitching.

A relentless pursuit of cat and mouse between the two—

or wait, no… a love story! ♥ <<less

“You crazy bastard! Why did you kill our party members?!”... more>>

Yieon, who enjoys completing minor quests leisurely, is randomly matched with the high-ranking player “Raham.”

Raham, displaying overwhelming skills, suddenly slaughters their entire party, saying they were too noisy.

And this psycho is our Guild Master?

Unlike their first encounter where Raham tried to kill him, he now follows Yieon around, offering to help with quests. While suspicious of Raham’s motives, Yieon eventually warms up to the convenience of being carried by a high-level player. They even become close enough to meet offline for meals…

“You know what they say? Paladin and Demon Priest are a perfect match.”

Hold on, what?

I didn’t mean to get this close!

* * *

Dumbfounded by the incomprehensible situation, Yieon could only blink in response. The man tilted his head slightly, gazing at him.

“Strange.”

“…?”

His low voice was oddly calm for their current predicament. Yieon tore his gaze away from the corpses lying at their feet and looked at the man.

“Aren’t you the Tiog Paladin?”

“…Yes.”

At Yieon’s cautious answer, the man’s lips curved into a smile.

“But why aren’t you dead?”

…What? <<less

[General] Dambi: You’re just f*cking bad at it.

Far from clearing up the misunderstanding, they couldn’t even communicate. To make matters worse, a 5-star monster that appeared before Mollamolla was snatched away by the other player. Dambi’s mockery was all that returned to the despairing Mollamolla.

[General] Dambi: Why? Are you triggered because I called you crazy?

[General] Dambi: Crazy bastard lol

[General] Mollamolla: Hey!

[General] Mollamolla: You son of a b*tch! Son of a b*tch! Where are you going?!

“Alright, that wraps up our experience with this anti-war game. I’d give it a 4. Now, let’s check out the next anti-war game… Huh?”

“Starting off with an immersive storyline? The game’s called… Normandy Landing?”

“Looks like a landing operation scenario. The streamer’s on an assault boat, but positioned toward the back—can’t really see what’s happening up front.”

“Gotta push forward a bit…”

Mumbling to himself, the fully immersed streamer moved to the front of the assault boat.

[If I set foot in Asyrth again, I'll be Othan's footstool!] ... more>>

"Nicknamemerham," the top player of the MMORPG Asyrth of Fortune (commonly known as AoF), a Druid – widely considered the worst class in the game – and the one and only player to achieve triple Tier 10, deleted his character in a fit of rage after witnessing all sorts of dirty tricks during a world-first hard raid clear with his former guild members.

Three months later, he quietly created a new character, "Meritocracy." Discouraged after once again choosing the Druid class, notorious for its notoriously difficult tier-up quests, he witnessed "Kkamamgom," a Shadow Warrior – another notoriously weak class – struggling with even basic combat.

Meritocracy: Hey

Meritocracy: Use DoT

Kkamamgom: What’s a D0T?!

Kkamamgom: ㅠㅠ

Half out of boredom, half out of camaraderie, Meritocracy started helping him. Then, he noticed something strange in the Shadow Warrior's tier window.

"Nature Tier 2?"

It wasn't a tier a newbie could easily obtain. He wondered if it was a bug, but since it also appeared on Kkamamgom's own status window, it seemed to be genuine.

If he diligently taught this guy and became friends…—Couldn't he use him as a tier-up shuttle?

Having made up his mind, Meritocracy decided to abruptly propose to Kkamamgom.

Meritocracy: Uh…

Meritocracy: Will you marry me?

《'Kkamamgom' pledges eternal love to you. Do you accept?》

Thus began their online married life in the game. Discovering a completely different route from the known Druid storyline, their game experience began to unfold in an unexpected direction… <<less
