Rowdy Assault on Moonlight Spire Upper

Im Harin didn't betray expectations and immediately fired up Gang Minseo's stream.

"Ramjwi~! Everyone's in Discord now, so open the door already!!!"

"Uh, isn't Sky supposed to handle the door? He's the rogue, right?"

"Ijeye unnie, Minseo unnie said it earlier. To go upper, we need the Moon Seal..."

"Sasuga Irea unnie!!!"

Aw, so noisy.

With nearly eight streamers gathered, it was like a traditional market.

"Well... at least Gang Minseo seems to be handling the leading."

"But wouldn't it be easier if unnie did raid leading?"

"Why?"

"'Cause unnie would naturally explain the strategy anyway?"

Even I could picture the future: ten people charging in, wiping, then me calmly explaining the strat.

"But wouldn't it look kinda funny if a normie like me steps up to lead eight streamers?"

"Pfft~ They're gonna beg you for tips anyway."

"Harin, when you're sandwiched between streamers like this, just stay quiet."

No point jumping in with "this or that" and getting blamed if something goes wrong. My head would just hurt.

Anyway, while we chatted idly, Ramjwi Thunder used his Moon Seal to open the door.

"Alright~~~! Everyone follow me! Follow!"

"Let's go~~~~~!!!"

Maybe 'cause they're streamers, they hyped it up as they entered Moonlight Spire Upper.

"Don't we have two tanks, though?"

"Yeah, we do. Should I go first then, Irea unnie?"

"Combat power and health-wise, Minseo unnie's higher, so you first?"

"Hehe, got it! I'll lead!"

I left the noisy partymembers at the entrance and hugged the left wall, slipping as deep as possible and rubbing my character against it.

"Huh...? Unnie, whatcha doing? No trash mobs there."

"Didn't you want that good accessory from here?"

"Yeah! Spiky Tree Branch? Heard it's amazing!"

"That's not from the fixed miniboss—it's random from a roaming named."

Once I confirmed my character had wedged into the deepest corner, I spammed chat.

"Whatcha doing, unnie? And what's a roamer?"

"Roamers are wandering trash mobs. You don't have to kill 'em to progress—just dudes patrolling the halls."

"Oh~ Like all those in Undead Academia?"

"Yup. Anyway, it's not here. Gotta reset the instance."

"Huh...? What's missing?"

I shrugged at Im Harin's confused face and whispered to Gang Minseo.

With eight streamers, it'd look better if she "discovered" it instead of me barking orders like usual.

And if I acted like I knew everything, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠they'd shove raid lead on me again later.

No way in hell. I'd die before leading again.

"Whoa... Minseo unnie! What's this? Jackpot! No way trash like this exists?!"

"Damn, Minseo unnie... this is a real kicker."

Gang Minseo fanned her blushing face amid praise from Ramjwi Thunder and Irea.

"R-right~!! Gotta catch this 'RuneWatcher' roamer for the good accessory! Always check!"

She followed my tip exactly: rubbed against the wall in front of the streamers, input the command in chat, and showed how to find the RuneWatcher.

"...... Huh? Minseo unnie! Got a tip-off."

"Ah, n-no! That's... I figured it out!"

"Looks like the knight unnie again. Cite sources clearly."

"Aaa~ Seriously! Knight unnie said I could brag!"

Her face beet red, Gang Minseo's lips twitched in embarrassment.

Haa... Shoulda just said the knight unnie told me!!!

Still blushing, she calmly charged the trash mob ahead.

Furious Moonlight Dragonkin

The moment Gang Minseo smacked the ugly lizard-like monster, nearby ones piled on her.

"Wha?! Uh... uhhh?"

Moonlight Spire Lower and Undead Academia.

After grinding those, she'd gained confidence—but seeing her health plummet for real panicked her.

"Why's the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠damage so... whoa, no! It's hitting harder?!"

"Ah... gotta prioritize the summoner?"

"Lizard—no... dragon? Something's coming! What's that?!"

Unlike before, Jeong Hana didn't mark skeletons or squares on Moonlight Spire Summoners or such.

She just quietly healed, like letting Minseo figure it out.

"Kinda tough here, huh."

"That's why the good loot, right Minseo unnie?"

"Yeah? Whew... anyway, keep pulling! Not as maze-like as Undead Academia!"

Luckily for first-timers, Moonlight Spire Upper had simple paths.

Grab visible mobs, move to next zone—no getting lost.

"Alright... then..."

Gang Minseo charged the toughest-looking Furious Moonlight Dragonkin out of the three clustered ones, same as always.

"... Ack?!"

The left one's Furious Moonlight Dragonkin joined in immediately.

Just two dragonkin, and her health tanked again.

"Ow, hurts... too mu—huh?!"

"Uh, wha—! What?!"

"Where'd these come fr—?!"

As Gang Minseo screamed, a patrolling Moonlight Tribe Veteran smashed Ijeye's head mid-DPS.

"Irea unnie! S-save m—" "Huh?! Minseo unnie's dead?" "Pl-please! Ack! What is this?! Why more than us?!" "No way! Six at once—how?!"

The tragedy started with Gang Minseo.

Her head popped from two dragonkin—next aggro naturally on Irea.

As Protection Paladin, he was second tank.

But suddenly sandwiched, he couldn't shield up—huge weapon smashed him instantly.

"Uh, this ain't how you pull..."

Two tanks dead, dealers shredded in seconds.

"Not all-at-once, right Minseo unnie?"

"Ugh... didn't wanna all-at-once..."

Gang Minseo wasn't dumb.

Furious Moonlight Dragonkin... ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Moonlight Tribe Summoner... three-packs?

Pull packs if possible.

Easier said—seven mobs ahead: two dragonkin + one summoner packs left/right, veteran patrolling between.

"Time limit maybe?"

"Ooh! Ijeye unnie, sounds good?"

"But how's melee DPS supposed to? Like this?"

"Left mobs keep hitting—Minseo unnie dies..."

Streamers tossed theories—no answers.

"... Knight unnie."

To not waste time for eight streamers + 50k+ viewers, Gang Minseo begged.

Of course, she had an idea.

Players rez, mobs don't. Charge seven, thin 'em out.

But too caveman-brained.

"Ooh...! Oh?"

Unlike usual, Jeong Hana whispered the full strat to Gang Minseo.

Why not say it outright?

Anyone could see this was a lifeline, not meddling.

Knight unnie's thoughts are a mystery sometimes...

Gang Minseo wasn't a streaming newbie.

Folk like Jeong Hana who show face often have ambitions.

Common path: guest on streams for fame, parlay into own channel.

But Jeong Hana blatantly dodged spotlight moments ripe for popularity.

... Alt account maybe?

Shaking off the thought, Gang Minseo cleared her throat.

"Ahem! Everyone! I, I figured it out?!"

With the answer key, she marked two Furious Moonlight Dragonkin with skull and square.

"Party rule...! From now, DPS prioritize my skull-marked mob!"

"That'll melt fast!"

"And...... Ah! Daydream—no, Ramjwi Thunder unnie!"

"Ramjwi Thunder unnie! Long-range spell on that skull-marked mob?"

"~That I can do!"

"It'll charge you! Listen: I taunt aggro, then here! Here!"

Explaining, she jumped ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠behind the wall per my tip.

"Hide here a bit! Three'll rush and line up pretty at the corner edge!"

"Ooh... but Minseo unnie, someone tip you?"

"Guh..."

Realizing her slip, Gang Minseo coughed awkwardly.

"A-anyway! Try it! And Irea unnie! You smack my square-mark!"

"Like single-tanking each?"

"Yes! Exactly!"

Orders done excitedly, Ramjwi Thunder flung ice spear at skull-marked.

"Ooh, coming... exactly three?"

"Nice pic."

Per my strat, perfect aggro—hide, monsters lined up neatly outside.

"Go! Go! DPS now!"

Skull-marked dragonkin's health melted.

No extra four joining like before.

"Ooh... easy like this."

"Pfft, Minseo unnie messed up first pull."

"Ah! Daydream~~!!!!"

Mobs dropping easy, streamer vibes warmed up.

Then Jeong Hana 'silence'-blocked the overlooked Moonlight Tribe Summoner's cast.

"NBD! Super easy...!"

Three down, Gang Minseo hummed, re-marked next pack skull/square.

"Alright! Everyone! Quick next pack too! Knight unnie said next named's NBD......

"Minseo unnie~! Just give raid lead to knight unnie!"

A bit cocky now, Gang Minseo couldn't foresee the disaster 15 minutes away.
