"You cleared fifty floors in eight minutes?! That's insane. Please tell you were joking!" Siesta exclaid in shock and surprise.
"Make it ten minutes. I might have wasted a few seconds in between while passing through the portals and to select the secondary class."
"There is no way anyone would believe you, but I just saw you one-shot the boss of the 50th floor… and… I don't doubt you."
Zoe looked at Siesta's level and asked, "How did you manage to survive fifty floors of the dungeon?"
"As I said, I cleaned a few floors every day. And I took a lot of breaks. I set traps and mostly used ranged attacks on the monsters bigger and faster than . And… I have unlimited money… so I bought the best gear possible.
Although most of the expensive gear is level locked… so I can't use them until I reach the required level. Still, I think I am a better newbie than others…. although only we are the newbies… the other players have already settled here.
But they did say that thousands of players longed in a few weeks ago in batches and turned this realm upside down. Apparently, they cleared all 100 floors of the dungeon in a single day.
Also, they were provided unlimited funds, so all of them were equipped well. They ford a guild as soon as they got a chance, and their guild ranking imdiately entered the top 10.
It's crazy… right?"
"What's crazy?" Zoe asked with an unimpressed look on her face.
"How did they manage to do all that in such a short ti…?"
Siesta was referring to the soldiers sent from the real world to empower their bodies through God's impact. Since all of them were trained soldiers, they knew sword fighting and the use of every weapon.
Unlike the other players with no real-world talent, the soldiers were thousands of tis better than them. After forming the guild, they elected generals, commanders, and other required positions to run the guild.
They had everything in control. They were well prepared. They nad their guild 'Call of Crusaders', and the guild leader was the Captain of their team. They had brought multiple tacticians, strategists, and advisors, with those who planned everything for them.
Zoe shrugged her shoulders to Siesta's question and said, "I don't see how that is amazing or crazy. Literally, anyone can do what they did. Stop getting surprised and amazed at everything you see… it's useless and a moronic thing to do."
"...do you ever say sothing… good from that arrogant mouth of yours?"
"If you don't like what I say, you can always get out of my sight. I will pay back the bill to you once I have made so money."
"I don't need it." Siesta let out a short sigh and muttered, "I still don't think you got any friends."
"What did you just say?" Zoe raised her brow. "Just so you know, I hate people like you the most."
"What do you an by people like ? Do you an rich, beautiful, and brilliant?"
"No, the one who talks bad about soone behind their back because they don't have the guts to say that on their face."
"I was talking to myself."
"But you were talking about !"
"Well, since you heard it… I might as well say it out loud. I don't think you have any friends!"
"Huh. Maybe I should have let you die on that floor. I would have loved to see your skin and organs lting from the lava."
"..."
"..."
Zoe and Siesta glared at each other for minutes. Neither of them spoke a word, and it seed as though they were about to kill each other.
If it wasn't for the waiter who arrived at the right ti with their food, they would have slit each other's throats.
Since the food had arrived, they stopped glaring and began to eat— although their eyes t once in a while.
'Was I too rude?' Zoe thought. 'I know she said an things to , but… she never said anything about dying. I shouldn't have said that. Should I apologize to her?'
Zoe needed to clear her mouth, so she moved her hand to drink water before apologizing to Siesta, but Siesta ended up taking the glass before her and drank the water.
'Forget it! I am never apologizing to her!' Zoe's face twitched in anger.
Siesta drank a few sips and placed the glass back on the table. Then, she cleared her throat and looked into Zoe's eyes.
"What?" Zoe asked in an annoyed tone.
"I am sorry. And thank you once again for saving my life," she said in a calm voice.
"..." Zoe's anger vanished in thin air. She looked at her and thought, 'Why would she apologize to ? She didn't actually do anything that would warrant an apology. I am aware that I am an… and that's precisely why I wanted to apologize to her.
Maybe… she is not a bad girl?'
"I am sorry too. And thanks for paying for my food."
"So… we are good now?" Siesta asked hesitantly.
"I guess…"
"Let's start over again, then." Siesta moved her hand forward to shake hands with Zoe
Zoe shook hands with her and said, "Nice to et you. I am Zoe."
"I am Siesta. Nice to et you."
'So that's how her na is pronounced…'
Zoe could read Siesta's na on her natag, but she wasn't sure how to pronounce it, so she avoided calling her by na.
"Can we two form a party?" Siesta suddenly asked.
"Huh? Why?"
"Well… since we are the only ones who are new to this ga? Everyone else has ford a party, and it's hard to get into a new circle without feeling awkward. And… I am a girl, so…"
"What would I get from joining your party? I am strong to survive on my own," Zoe shrugged. "I don't need you. A party can be ford where each party mber can contribute sothing in mutual. What can you provide if I join your party?"
