– Wow, so many gallery guilds. Aren’t White Bone Group, No Mercy, and Rocket Team gallery guilds?

ㄴ Anyway, gallery users were just large in number but get pushed back by item uncles in PVP kekekeke. It’s essentially a two-power structure with Alpharion Empire’s ‘GG Group’ and Betarion Empire’s ‘Plan B’.

ㄴ White Bone Group needs to stick to GG Group’s WeGotMarried. White Bones unite!

-The Eastern Alliance guild is really full of bulky guys? So many Warriors. They seem super strong in mass battles.

ㄴ Rocket Team should stick to Plan B. Objectively, GG Group seems stronger than Plan B, but not sure if Eastern Alliance is added.

ㄴ As ‘High-grade Magic Stones’ start to be released as faction battlefield rewards, now you must hide behind large guilds for faction wars. Herbivore users who just came for daily quests will have their shrimp backs burst in the whale war.

– In the end, isn’t this large-scale war about whether you can catch the World Boss or not? The rewards seem insane even if divided among hundreds of people. There could even be Legendary grade items. How long is that respawn cycle? Seems like it could be months.

ㄴ No one knows because it hasn’t been caught even once. Creating an environment where ‘Green Dragon’ can be attacked without burden is the job of the warring uncles, but in the end, the dungeon experts need to do the actual attack.

ㄴ Plan B tried to attack as soon as the World Boss appeared yesterday, but they were wiped out by the first breath kekekekeke. The range is super wide and the breath duration is long. There’s no sense of how to catch it yet.

ㄴ Then isn’t Alpharion Empire at an advantage? The dungeon first clear party ‘Chris’s Raid Party’ belongs to Alpharion Empire.

ㄴ We don’t know because Chris’s Raid Party hasn’t created a guild yet. But GG Group’s Guild Master WeGotMarried will definitely try to recruit them. Presenting reward distribution conditions.

ㄴ There are many advance party users in Betarion Empire too. Still unknown.

ㄴ Which faction does the No Name party belong to? Don’t know about this one.

ㄴ There’s that white kid who runs buses with Chris’s Raid Party. There’s a rumor going around that she’s the No Name party’s tank.

ㄴ White kid? Kekekekekeke Are you talking about the cute little Swordswoman?

ㄴ I rode Chris’s Raid Party bus yesterday, and she seems to be the one dealing the highest damage currently. She was beating the Fallen Angel alone, and the Fallen Angel’s HP was dropping faster than the Archangel being hit by two ranged damage dealers. Can you imagine?

ㄴ Chris, lift the control on screenshots and videos of the white kid!

“Hmm~ Hmm hmm~”

Humming a tune, I finally decorated the flower vase in the center of the table.

Red flowers and white flowers in the vase, pretty flowers I picked myself when I went up the mountain yesterday.

“This is Chris unnie, this is me.”

I covered my face with my hands and giggled.

After finishing the last table decoration, I straightened my back and looked around ‘my house’.

Sunlight leaking through the wide windows brightly illuminates the room. The view of the capital can be seen at a glance outside the window. Pretty curtains are hung by the window.

Furniture like sofas and refrigerator-shaped items that don’t match the medieval fantasy background create a unique atmosphere. They’re works of users who have furniture and magic item production workshops in the Alpharion Empire capital.

On the small bookshelf next to the sofa, I neatly arranged the books I’ve collected so far. Antique-looking candlesticks are placed here and there, so when night falls, I can enjoy a romantic atmosphere by lighting candles.

I opened the refrigerator.

In the refrigerator with long-lasting cold magic cast on it, there are desserts like pudding and cake bought from the capital’s cafe, snacks like cookies, and cool drinks. Things to serve when guests come.

On the table, besides the flower vase, there are cute teapots and cups obtained from the capital, and fragrant herbal tea taken out from the cupboard is placed.

“Hee.”

I shed tears of emotion.

Rain, well done. You’ve worked hard all this time.

Finally, in the Astria continent, you’ve achieved the dream of owning your own home.

The life of moving from inn to inn for fatigue recovery ends today. Except when adventuring and hunting, I can entrust my body to my own house. Of course, I’ll have to leave this world briefly when I need to provide nutrition to Lee Seulbi’s body.

Actually, I was going to cash out all the profits from this dungeon to buy a house for Lee Seulbi first. But because Chris solved Lee Seulbi’s housing problem, I was able to make up my mind and purchase housing in the Astria continent, in the imperial capital.

Knock knock.

“Huhu, is the homeowner in~?”

A gentle woman’s voice.

My body felt like it was jumping on its own.

“Yes~ I’m inside!”

I greeted my house’s first guest with a bright smile.

The red-haired beauty, Chris, opened the door and entered the house.

“Wow~! You really decorated it cozily and prettily.”

Chris exclaimed with widened eyes as she looked around my house.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Unnie hasn’t bought housing yet, right? If it’s unnie, you can freeload in my house.”

On Earth, Lee Seulbi is freeloading in Chris’s house. Conversely, in the Astria continent, I can solve Chris’s housing problem.

Chris grinned and stroked my head.

I took out cookies from the refrigerator. I guided Chris to sit in a chair at the table, and poured fragrant herbal tea to place in front of her.

For a while, we enjoyed snacks and chatted together.

“So, unnie is going to create a guild too.”

“Guild.”

Users belonging to the two huge current factions of the Astria continent, ‘Alpharion Empire’ and ‘Betarion Empire’.

I knew to some extent that they were forming ‘guilds’ by gathering together and competing with each other to gain benefits in the faction battlefield.

“Recently, the first World Boss appeared in the faction battlefield ‘Berbeia Forest’. Do you know about it, Rain?”

I shook my head.

I don’t look at the community much. I’ve just been adventuring wherever my feet take me.

But, World Boss, you say.

“It’s not in dungeon raid form, but this can be seen as Astria Online’s first raid essentially. Unnie wants to challenge the first World Boss raid too.”

“But, if it’s a faction battlefield.”

Chris nodded.

World Boss, enormous rewards.

A huge war will break out between the two factions to claim it.

Even now, local battles must be continuing there.

“It’s in a lull state now, but Betarion Empire is starting to show movement. They’ll try to push out the opposing faction through faction wars to secure the World Boss raid environment, form an attack team, and try to clear it.”

“The fact that unnie is telling me this means our Alpharion Empire is forming an attack team too, right?”

Chris grinned.

“Correct. We got an offer from the ‘GG Group’ guild. Unnie will be the raid leader of the attack team for this World Boss ‘Green Dragon’.”

First World Boss raid.

Faction battlefield.

It’s not an environment that can be conquered alone.

But among the enormous rewards, the Legendary grade item was the most tempting.

It’s about time time-limited enrage patterns start appearing in elite dungeons. I struggled through the enrage pattern to clear the Ancient Temple too.

For me who does dungeon conquests alone, if I don’t raise my damage significantly above others, future conquests will be tricky.

So far, I’ve been making up for damage output by maximizing the advantages of past experience and synchronization rate. Even twisting my body, it was just a bit above the level of two people.

But what if there’s a Legendary grade weapon?

Depending on the weapon’s stats, it’s not a dream to output damage equivalent to more than three people alone.

Gulp.

I swallowed and listened attentively to Chris’s words.

“For now, the GG Group side has promised 30% of rewards that can be classified as resources to the attack team. If a Legendary grade item drops, it will be auctioned.”

Auction. Maybe I should have bought the house later.

How much gold do I have now?

I shook my head vigorously while checking my current gold holdings.

How can I count my chickens before they hatch when we haven’t even cleared it yet.

“I’ll participate in the raid too.”

Chris looked at me with a slightly worried gaze, then hesitated and continued speaking.

“Um… Rain, it will be a dangerous raid. Although PVP users doing faction wars will create the environment, we might be exposed to attacks from users of the other faction during the boss attack. We’ll protect you as much as possible, but will you be okay?”

What is she worried about?

I seemed to vaguely understand.

She must be worried about the pain I’ll experience when I get hurt.

Since I showed Chris my solo play last time, I’ve somewhat opened up about my synchronization rate too.

Of course, if I insist on doing it, Chris probably won’t stop me.

And now that Chris is here, there won’t be a risk of my body in the outside world becoming endangered like before.

If Lee Seulbi gets very sick, Chris will take her to the hospital.

I looked at Chris and smiled brightly.

“It’s okay because unnie is here. Then, how will we recruit our party members?”

It would be nice if it’s a form I can do alone, but it’s a World Boss raid that must be conquered together with other people.

Not only the main attack team, but the users doing PVP faction wars should be considered one team too.

In the past I wouldn’t have paid any attention, but now Chris is by my side.

I can enjoy conquering together with Chris.

Unnie will handle all the personnel management, organization, tactic planning, etc., and I just need to hit the boss hard at the front.

“The No Name party and Chris’s party will definitely be together. For now, that’s 5 people, right? Huhu.”

Chris looked at me with a bright smile.

The number of people in the No Name party is me, one person.

I made an awkward smile and squirmed.

“And there are two more parties among the advance attack teams that unnie has talked with in advance. It will be a raid team of 13 people in total.”

“Ooh.”

I clenched my fists and my eyes shone.

First raid. Faction battlefield. Green Dragon. 13-person attack team.

My heart was pounding.

“A first raid-oriented guild consisting of 13 people is being launched. The guild name, um, what should we call it.”

“Can I name it?”

Chris laughed and yielded the guild naming to me.

For a moment, I looked at the flower vase on the table.

Red and white flowers.

The colors of Chris and Rain, the two people.

“Red-White!”
