Exploiting Weaknesses and Deathmatch Drama

Mesmerized, I followed PatchNote’s instructions and attacked.
The result hit instantly, and I let out a hollow laugh.
Unbelievable.

They left *this* in?
Did the devs make this game with their feet?
I’ve played since launch, and I’ve never seen a flaw this bad.
A critical weakness.

[All/NewUpdate: I nagged them to fix it, but it’s still here.]

[All/NewUpdate: Bet Myth’s GM doesn’t know.]

[All/DontOrderMe: lololol This is a game?]

[All/NewUpdate: No idea how good he is, but if he uses bugs or cheats first, crush him with this.]

[All/NewUpdate: He can’t counter it lolol]

[All/DontOrderMe: Learned something good ㅎ]

No matter how much cash Easter throws to screw me, he can’t top this.
His PVP skills are trash, so it’s already a guaranteed win, but PatchNote gave me wings.
I’m soaring through the roof.
Laughing at the absurd bug, I hoped Easter would use a bug so I could exploit this.
Or at least make some shady moves.
Tomorrow’s deathmatch just got exciting.

[Free Board] [Notice] Attention-Seeker Deathmatch at 8 PM

Author: Beta

Hello, *Freesia* players!

As it gets colder, hope you’re staying warm!

Today at 8 PM on the Alpe server, an attention-seeker deathmatch is happening. Please show lots of interest.

Just kidding with the official tone ^^;

Yesterday, Myth’s guild master challenged us to a deathmatch.

They swarmed us, got outplayed despite their numbers, and now they’re scared ㅎ

Curious who’s fighting? *Whisper whisper* Attention-seeker deathmatch *whisper whisper*

Here’s the intro:

Red Corner!!!!

Control of a newbie!! Only has money!! The OG rich uncle of this zone!!! Eaaaaaster!!!!

Blue Corner!!!!

Showing the true power of his nickname!!!! Come at me, old man!!! DontOrderMeeee!!!!

A clash of the balanced Holy Knight vs. the coffin-bound Berserker of eons!

With the recent PVP update, spectator mode’s here, so we’re opening the biggest attention-seeker spectating event. Come watch! ㅎ

Though it’s capped at 100 ㅎ Patched with their feet, huh? ㅎ;

As RunawayTrain’s guild master, I hope our mascot, DontOrderMe, shows his nickname’s power ^^

Thanks ^^

– lololol First time seeing a post this wild in this game lolol Like chugging a bowl of crazy lololol

– Holy Knight vs. Berserker, Knight should win, but Easter vs. nobody? Hard to call.
└ Nobody? DontOrderMe = SoonToDie. Remember his PK skills? 100% SoonToDie wins.
└ Wait, that’s his alt?
└ Late to the party, huh? Read the boards.
└ Easter, shame of Holy Knights, clear the way, beep beep!

– Who’s Easter? I know DontOrderMe from the boards, but never heard of Easter.
└ Myth’s GM. Rumor he bought the spot with cash.
└ A streamer dueled him after getting pissed in a pub raid lolol There’s more, look it up.
└ Be nice all the way if you’re gonna be nice.

– Honestly, isn’t Myth famous because of Easter? Trolled on the incident board for 1.35 trillion years ;
└ Add 8.22 trillion years.
└ Gambling? lololol
└ Police uncle, over here! Dial 1336!

– Started the war, drew first blood, and if he loses, he’ll be humiliated lolol I see it—nickname change and server transfer lolol

– What if he’s secretly god-tier but hiding it?
└ Hiding? lololol
└ lolol If that’s true, all his trolling was a front.
└ No way. I dueled Easter 1v1—he’s trash. Hard to be that bad as a Holy Knight.
└ Met him in a pub raid. He doesn’t just suck—he doesn’t get the game. Berserker wins, guaranteed.

– Damn, spectator slots will be competitive. Can I get in?

Logging in, whispers flooded—people saw the board post.
What nonsense?

I blocked all whispers and checked the boards.
Seeing Beta’s post, I burst out laughing IRL.
“Newbie control, only has money, rich uncle.”
Every word’s spot-on, making it funnier.

[Guild/OneHitForTheLord: Guild mascot SoonToDie’s here?]

[Guild/PatchNote: You’re on?]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: lolol Losing it.]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Where’d she get that humor? It’s all memes lol]

[Guild/Beta: How’s my effort to hype the deathmatch? ㅎ]

[Guild/DontOrderMe: Noble effort, approved.]

Before the deathmatch, I checked my gear and unblocked whispers.

[Whisper/DontOrderMe>Easter: Make the room, invite me.]

[Whisper/DontOrderMe>Easter: Open spectators.]

Easter didn’t reply but showed he wasn’t AFK with a duel invite.
Seeing it on the monitor gave me a bad vibe.
Normally, I’d call out his short tone for boomer vibes, but he’s quiet.

Matured?
Accepting, I entered the deathmatch room.
Spectator seats filled instantly.

[Shout/JustHere: Joined without question!]

[Shout/WhatNickname: Epic showdown—newbie control Holy Knight vs. coffin ghost Berserker.]

[Shout/CollegeTuition: Who plays Berserker these days? Who plays Berserker these days? Who plays Berserker these days?]

[Shout/Spine17Mil: You know nothing about Berserkers?!?!]

[Shout/CollegeTuition: Chill!! Tell me without crying.]

[Guild/OneHitForTheLord: Board post’s impact is huge. I barely got in.]

[Guild/PotteryMaster: I didn’t make it ㅎ;]

[Guild/PatchNote: I’m streaming it, wanna watch?]

[Guild/PotteryMaster: ㅠㅠ You’re a saint… Thanks ㅠ]

Some didn’t get in—bit of a shame.
I hit the ready button.
Once Easter’s ready, it’ll start.

Slightly nervous.
Rubbing sweaty palms on my clothes, Easter readied, and the match began.
Grabbing my keyboard, I threw skills.
As my first hit landed and I chained a combo, Easter dodged with flashy movement and countered.

[Shout/WasHere: What? Easter’s newbie control?]

[Shout/RicePower: If that’s newbie, we’re all newbies lololol]

[Shout/GoneNow: Found my soulmate.]

I’m shook.
Since when did this boomer know movement?
I used defensive skills, looking for openings, but found none.

I tried a counter where I saw a gap—missed.
He deflected it.
Back to defense, I bit my lip nervously.

[Guild/Beta: ??? What? He’s secretly god-tier and was hiding it?]

[Guild/PotteryMaster: ** He could play like that but sucked in raids?]

Exactly.
Was this the guy flailing at obvious attacks?
His smooth moves aren’t bugs or hacks—just pure skill.
Flawless.
Even weirder, his skill use felt like PatchNote’s.

Did he study videos?
Take Holy Knight lessons overnight?
Too drastic a change.

Finding an opening, I landed a counter and chained a combo.
Thankfully, it hit.
Desperately mashing to keep the flow, I didn’t let up.

[Guild/PatchNote: Something’s off.]

[Guild/PatchNote: His skill use and movement are like DealTank’s.]

[Guild/Beta: Who’s DealTank?]

[Guild/OneHitForTheLord: Some Holy Knight who posts videos?]

[Guild/PatchNote: Yeah, DealAndTank. I learned Holy Knight from his videos.]

[Guild/PatchNote: This is almost his level.]

I wanted to ask what he meant, but no time to type.
My combo, hitting its peak damage, got countered and broken.

Breaking combos takes serious skill, but Easter nailed it.
Timing, control—he’s not the Easter I know.

[Guild/PatchNote: SoonToDie, use what I showed you.]

I might actually lose.
Nodding at PatchNote’s chat, I thought, no idea what he’s doing, but if you’re playing like that, I’ve got this.
