Capítulo 7: Weird Player

Della returned to her house in a hurry after that. Today, the girl only had two hours before her afternoon class started. Della knew that in just two hours, she had to be able to complete the big event held by her favorite game.

When Adam reminded her, Della just remembered that today was the birthday of her favorite game. The players were looking forward to the event because on the official website, the game developer promised to give satisfying prizes to players who went online and participated in special birthday events within a certain time. Della had almost forgotten there was such an event if Adam hadn't mentioned it earlier. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she still had about twenty minutes before the event that many people were looking forward to starting.

Della's body was drenched in sweat as she was in a hurry to get home. So to waste her time, the girl preferred to take a shower first before finally sitting on her study chair.

A drop of water slid down from her hair when Della turned on the laptop as usual. While waiting, the girl dried her hair, then prepared a packet of yogurt to fill her stomach before she entered the game. While Della was waiting for the game log-in process, the girl finished off the cold yogurt that she had taken with her from the small refrigerator available in her room. Della threw the empty yogurt wrapper into the trash before she looked at her character standing in the middle of the newbie town in a stronger outfit than the one she got on her previous game account.

[System: Your character has reached level 25. Please immediately look for a guild that accepts new members as you will soon be teleported away from the city of newbies."]

Della let out a long sigh as her character finally reached a level where she wouldn't be able to remain within the city of beginners anymore. As someone with level 25, Della felt quite positive as her abilities were almost the same as her old character at level 50. The few beginner missions didn't give her much experience anymore. Della also needed access to go to other towns, as she already had all the items she needed in the beginner's town.

Above her character, Della saw a notification encouraging her to quickly search for a guild before the system would automatically teleport her out of the starter city. Della had observed many other guilds when she was in the starter town. Della had promised herself that she would not enter a guild that had previously rejected her. She would choose a new guild, of course, a new guild with promising prospects.

Because the strength of the guild and the strength of its members was the greatest strength of a player in playing a game like Tales of Dungeon.

Entering the guild list window, Della unhesitatingly signed up for a few small groups that were doing quite well according to her observations. Due to her new level status, plus small guilds usually need a lot of members to enlarge their guild, it was not difficult for Della to quickly find a guild that was willing to accept her request. Della immediately teleported to her new guild headquarters after she was done with her own business.

In her heart, Della had prepared many plans so that she wouldn't fall into the same hole in her second guild. In her second attempt, Della would no longer try to put the guild's interests first and focus more on putting her personal abilities first. After all, Della knew it would only be a waste for her to be loyal if most guilds were not loyal to their members.

But putting personal interests first did not mean completely ignoring the interests of the guild. Della couldn't be lazy in the guild, or she might get kicked out of her new guild as well.

The girl was in high spirits when Della brought her character into the guild room. But her enthusiasm slowly died down, when she discovered that there was something wrong with this new guild.

The guild she entered this time was really strange. Perhaps because most of them were offline during school hours, Della could only find one person who was absorbed in reading the rules of the ongoing event without being accompanied by anyone.

With the guild's high rating, and its average player having the title of a strong player, Della thought she would get into a guild where the players wouldn't miss a big event even if they had to skip their jobs. However, the reality was very different from what Della thought. In the spacious guild building, there was only Della and the man who was busy reading the event rules on the guild's notice board.

Della awkwardly approached the bulletin board. In her heart, Della began to wonder if she had made the wrong decision by joining this strange guild.

Because, unlike her past guilds, Della did not get any interview sessions nor was there any difficulty when she entered this new guild. The guild headquarters which should have been crowded was also very quiet even though today there was a game event that many people had been waiting for. This group's rank was indeed quite high for a beginner guild class. But seeing that there was only one person online in her new guild at the moment ... Della was really confused about the situation in her new guild.

[Zee: Ah, this event should be done in team form ... Ugh, let's see ... Ah, pretty Miss over there, will you join my team?]

Della joined the guild conversation after the only male player in the guild room suddenly sent a message to the guild chat group provided by the system. Since there was only her and that player in the guild room, Della knew that the player was talking to her when he sent the message. Della swallowed nervously. It was too late to change her guild now. She disliked being flirted with by a guy in-game the most. Yet, the only player who was online together at this moment did so on their first meeting.

Faced with that situation, Della immediately silenced her character and made it look like she had a bad signal or was AFK. Della swallowed nervously. She would rather not participate in the game event than be stuck with such a seductive stranger.

Della was just thinking about logging out of the game when a notification suddenly arrived in her message window. Della subconsciously opened it, then was pensive when she got a private message from the flirtatious guy.

[Zee: I'm calling you, pretty Miss. Please don't ignore me like this. I can really make our team win even if it's just the two of us. Please believe me ><]

Della read the message with a flat face. It wasn't a matter of winning or not. She just never had a good feeling about playing with male players. They usually turned crazy if a female player was in their group. Sometimes they would unceremoniously ask the female players to turn on the mic, ask for phone numbers, or even ask the female players to put their real photos in the character information section. Furthermore, they will usually continue to tease the woman, to the point where the teasing sometimes goes too far according to Della.

Della had a bad experience with a man she knew from a previous game. The man constantly messaged Della every day. At some point, Della got really fed up and blacklisted the account.

Della thought the problem would be over after that. But the harassment didn't stop there. The angry man began to call Della names in the world conversation. Fortunately, at that time, there were still many people who were willing to defend her. So quickly, the case died out, and was never heard from again.

But for Della who experienced it firsthand, any male player started to look bad in the girl's eyes. Even her good guild leader could be two-faced when he wasn't around. Now how could she trust, a stranger who had called her beautiful at their first meeting?

But looking around... Della did not find a single guild member she could work with. Della was sadly alone at the moment. Although she was definitely stronger than her old character of the same level, she was still very weak if she had to participate in the current game events. She would have to team up with someone. But right now, the only player she could form a team with was the strange man who was in the same guild as her.

Della sighed heavily. A few seconds later, Della finally replied to the man's message with a bit of heaviness.

[Athena: Sorry, I neglected my laptop for a while. Currently, I'm still very weak. Is that alright with you?]

The reply notification quickly came in, as if the interlocutor had been waiting for Della to type all along. Della felt confused for a moment. The girl could only pray that the man she was talking to was not a strange man like the one she had found in the past.

[Zee: Of course it's okay! We were all weak before we became strong. If teaming up with me can make you stronger, then I'll also be happy to be able to help ^^]

Actually, the man wasn't that annoying if Della was willing to put aside the fact that he had just called her beautiful at the beginning of their meeting. Della's bad outlook began to diminish after that brief conversation. Della had always been surrounded by players who only wanted to be friends with the strongest all along. To actually be friends with someone who didn't care about her strength... It must be really amazing.

Della took a deep breath before she typed a reply message to the man.

[Athena: Alright, you can invite me now.]

A request window to join a team appeared not long after Della sent the reply message. Della immediately accepted it without a second thought. After Della accepted the request, it didn't take long before she was automatically teleported to the arena dungeon where the event she wanted was taking place.
