“You lunatic! What the hell are you doing, team killing like that?”

Ian was casually enjoying the game, working through some minor quests, when he unexpectedly ended up in a party with top-ranking player Raham.

And now this psycho is the master of our guild?

Though he had initially tried to kill Ian, Raham now clings to him, insisting on helping with quests.

Ian remains suspicious of Raham’s intentions, but eventually finds himself growing used to the convenience of having a veteran power-player carry him through content.

“You know,” Raham says, “Holy Knights and Demon Priests… they make a killer combo.”

Wait—what?
This was never supposed to get that close!

“…Yeah, I am.”

Ian’s wary answer made the man’s lips curl into a smile.

“Then why aren’t you dead?”

…What?
