Title: ★Breaking News★ Sunset Gets 6-Month Ban ★Congrats★ (Summary Post)
Author: Jinx/Healer
Content: Are you watching? Congratulations, you Fucker! ♡!!!!!
But seriously, my apologies for it being a temporary ban instead of a permanent one… LOL. But at least six months of peace is a relief. Anyway, here’s a quick summary of the situation:
1. The recent Snowflake Event map was a modified version of the Arena map, which had a buff damage bug (player attacks didn’t work, but buffs did).
2. During the event, Sunset got bored killing event mobs and went up to the top of the map (thanks to being a Moon Fairy).
3. He buffed the supply boxes that dropped every two minutes. (Of course, the players below, busy fighting event mobs, had no idea.)
4. For ten minutes, every player on the map was running around with a ticking time bomb buff.
5. And then he blew them all up.
6. Everyone died… and he went to other event channels and did the same thing.
He wrecked all 10 channels, causing death penalties, and ended up sucking all the event items into her inventory. Some people even lost their bound items or items… Meanwhile, Sunset got rich.
And the players who died in the event map couldn’t revive, LOL. Even if they used revival items or tried to respawn at their saved gravestones, nothing worked. LOL. Even logging out and back in didn’t help. LOL. It’s all the game master’s fault for not properly creating the map, right?
Among the dead were Summoners who got mad about dying in the event map, and they started killing others who came to check out the scene. Then, when people heard about the deaths, they came to watch too, only to die themselves. LOL. Even GM Pudding came to assess the situation and give a warning, but they ended up getting killed too. LOL.
Can you believe that the entire city of Isis was deserted because everyone was either dead or watching the chaos? LOL. The game was basically shut down for half a day while they posted an emergency notice because everyone was trapped in the event map.

– Wait… Did they not restore the items?
└ No… They’re still fixing the bug.
└ Honestly, if they rollback the server, people are going to complain about other stuff.
– The GM is one thing, but who thought they’d die in an event map? Those who were just watching the snowflakes are fine, but everyone else lost their items due to death penalties. Sunset stole from millions of people.
└ You must be one of them.
└ Yeah, I lost my item. LOL.
└ I lost my +8 weapon, damn it. LOL, LOL, LOL. It had a 40% luck option.
└ No way, then it was a legendary item.
– What pisses me off is that Melody didn’t even participate in the event map that day. They already knew.
└ Premeditated crime, LOL.
└ Even their guild master got wrecked, but are they still recruiting?
└ If they do, I’m joining to blow them up from the inside.
└ If I see Melody, I’m killing them on sight. Damn bastards.
– But why did he do it?
└ Probably out of boredom. What a psycho.
└ We can’t even ask him now since she’s banned.
└ Was it because they reused the map?
└ Who goes around killing people just because the map is reused?
└ No, he even killed the GM~ LOL.
– But how did he kill the spectators who didn’t take the supply boxes?
└ He buffed them near the portal and then blew them up right away.
└ …? Blew someone up?
└ Yeah, with a time bomb… the Moon Fairy skill… It’s such a trash skill, but who knew it’d be used like this?
└ Rediscovery of the time bomb skill.
— That guy’s personality is pure trash, seriously. He randomly picks fights, saying people look ugly.
└ Yeah, and if someone’s from the Serpent Tribe, he kills them without hesitation just because he hates reptiles. Doesn’t even spare newbies.
└ I avoid the Serpent Tribe too, because I’m scared of reptiles… Sorry, Serpent Tribe, but you’re really too creepy…ㅠㅠ
└ Avoiding them is one thing, but killing them like Sunset does is another.
— Wait, did the points from the fighting map also count towards the event? Set a new personal PVP record, lol. I bet no one will break it until the server shuts down. Sunset’s neck is on the line.
└ The previous record was also Sunset’s, lol.
└ Of course, since he kills anyone he sees, lol.
└ My only rival is myself… BY. Sunset
— The craziest part is what he said after killing the GM. He was like, “Oh, hi there, Pudding~^^”
└ And then he used a item-stroking emote on the fallen GM, as if itemting the dead GM; he was so nonchalant, it was ridiculous.
└ (Photo)
└ GM Pudding: ?? This is hilarious, lol.
└ Isn’t he a complete psycho for stroking the GM? LOL.
└ LOL, poor Pudding.
└ LOL, this is why he probably got banned.

“The transaction has been completed.”
Nice!
Kyungsoo clenched his fist in excitement. The rainbow-colored border was dazzling. If he listed it on the auction house now, it would easily fetch tens of billions of in-game currency. It could even be worth tens of thousands of won in real cash. After transferring the Legendary item Selection Ticket to him, Noeul swung the remaining Galaxy Sword around.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to open it?”
“Why waste it now?”
The selection ticket allowed him to choose one of four legendary items. It felt too precious to use immediately. Even though it didn’t matter whether he used it now or later, he hadn’t even decided on a name yet. As Kyungsoo pretended to organize his inventory while gazing at the ticket in awe, Noeul sighed.
“Are you going to stare at it all day?”
“…I haven’t thought of a name yet.”
Noeul, who had approached him without him noticing, urged Kyungsoo to choose one of the four legendary items first. Unable to resist Noeul’s nagging, Kyungsoo double-clicked the selection ticket without much thought.
“Ah… They’re all so cute.”
“Pick the rabbit.”
“The rabbit? Sure.”
When he clicked on the round, rice cake-like rabbit, a naming window appeared.
“Please name your Milky Way Rabbit.”
Kyungsoo knew he was terrible at coming up with names. It had taken him at least 30 minutes just to choose an in-game nickname, and the result had been terrible. His current nickname was even chosen impulsively because he heard a cat meowing outside his window. Usually, he would name things based on the sounds they made, but rabbits didn’t even make any noise.
[Guild] MeowieMeowMeow : How do rabbits cry?
[Guild] al0ha: Koo-aeck?
[Guild] MeowieMeowMeow : What a stupid sound.
[Guild] al0ha: T_T….
[Guild] neutaaaa: Meowie, why are you being mean to Aloha!!! So scary…ㅠ
Since it was white, should he name it White…? Toto? Kiki? But he didn’t want a common name. Kyungsoo kept muttering, “Hmm…,” hesitating as his fingers hovered over the keyboard.
“Wait a minute, I need to use the bathroom.”
In the end, he got up abruptly without finishing the name. Noeul looked at him with a delighted expression.
“Hyung! Can I name the item then?”
“Do whatever you want. Just don’t give it a weird name.”
“Don’t worry.”
No matter what name he gives it, it has to be better than something like ‘Kkikki’. Kyungsoo, completely forgetting Noeul’s terrifying creativity, let his guard down. When he returned from the restroom, the previously quiet guild chat was flooded with messages. It wasn’t clear when they had arrived, but the Poseidon guild members had gathered around. Due to the flashy skill effects being used in the town, the item’s name wasn’t visible.
“What are they doing? Did you call them?”
“No.”
Noeul just laughed. Kyungsoo scrolled up the chat log to read what had been said while he was away.
[Guild] Ji9star: Wow, unbelievable
[Guild] Ji9star: [Breaking News] MW♥TS is now official!
[Guild] ParkRoach: It was always official, though, haha
[Guild] Ji9star: They’re together right now, lol
[Guild] HalloweenEggplanti: It’s not like it’s their first time hanging out together…
[Guild] Ji9star: And CN got a new item
[Guild] ParkRoach: ???
[Guild] HalloweenEggplanti: ????
[Guild] PoseidonLeader: No way, a legendary item?
[Guild] neutaaaa: When did that go on sale? I’m so jealous T_T
[Guild] Ji9star: Come to the Isis Auction House, hurry up
[Guild] Ji9star: Come see it for yourself, lololololol
It seemed Ji9star had spotted Noeul and Kyungsoo together and called over the other guild members.
[Guild] neutaaaa: lolololololol
[Guild] ParkRoach: hahahahahaha
Were they jealous? As Kyungsoo jumped up, the white rabbit jumped up with him, scattering star dust as it followed him upward.
‘Sunsets♡’
“…….”
As soon as Kyungsoo saw the item’s name, he sprang up and rushed at Noeul, aiming to grab him by the collar.
“Fuck you, Cheon Noeul!”
Noeul tried to dodge while laughing, but Kyungsoo crashed into him, and as a result, he ended up grabbing Noeul’s collar anyway. At that moment, the plastic chair they were sitting on couldn’t hold both their weights and tipped over. Their bodies collided and they both tumbled backward.
Thud!
A dull sound echoed as their bodies hit the floor.
“…….”
“…….”
With less than a hand’s width between them, Noeul, with wide eyes, stared directly into Kyungsoo’s eyes. The proximity felt too close, and just then, Kyungsoo realized something soft was pressing against his lips.
‘Soft? What’s soft?’
His mind blanked out as the situation spun out of control. Noeul’s face suddenly flushed red.
“S-sorry.”
Kyungsoo quickly pulled away, averting his gaze. A long silence followed. Outside, the guild members’ skill effects, accompanied by loud sound effects, blared through the speakers as they tried to locate Kyungsoo, who had suddenly gone silent.
“…….”
The silence was unbearably awkward. Who could have predicted this situation? Noeul was the first to break it.
“Hyung, um….”
“Huh? What?”
“Could you… get off me?”
“……?”
“That… would be nice.”
Noeul, who had been lying awkwardly, smiled sheepishly. Kyungsoo realized he was still awkwardly holding Noeul’s collar while sitting on his waist. Horrified by his position, he quickly rolled off to the side.
‘Damn, no way!’
Just in case, he checked Noeul’s pants, relieved that there wasn’t another disastrous incident like the last time. He was incredibly thankful. If Noeul had tried to place Kyungsoo’s hand there again, this time, he wouldn’t have let it slide.
Kyungsoo, unsure of what to do, awkwardly returned to his computer. Noeul, still dazed, sat on the floor staring at the ceiling. When Kyungsoo warped to another village, he could feel Noeul’s burning gaze on the back of his head. Turning slightly, he found Noeul glaring at him with furrowed brows.
“Hey, that… just now, it was an accident. You know that, right?”
“…….”
“It’s your fault, really.”
“…What did I do? You said I could name it.”
“Well….”
That’s true, but who in their right mind names someone else’s item ‘Sunset’s♡’? Speechless, Kyungsoo’s voice raised as he tried to justify himself.
“What are you staring at!”
Rather than backing down, Noeul bit his lips, staring at Kyungsoo with dissatisfaction.
“Come on, sit down.”
Kyungsoo spoke casually, trying to brush off his own mistake. This only made Noeul more annoyed. Sighing, Noeul uprighted the fallen chair and sat back down, clicking the mouse half-heartedly. Seeing this, Kyungsoo hesitated before turning his body slightly towards him. Their eyes met, and Kyungsoo spoke again.
“Honestly, it wasn’t your first time, right?”
“…What if it was?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. With a face like yours, how could it be the first time?”
Kyungsoo said sarcastically. Even he, who wasn’t particularly interested in men, sometimes found himself captivated by Noeul’s face. It wasn’t just that he was pretty—his unusually pale skin and light hair gave him an almost ethereal atmosphere. There’s no way people would leave him alone.
“It really was my first time.”
“…Really?”
“Yes. So, you should take responsibility.”
“Uh, no thanks.”
“Take responsibility! Take responsibility!”
