Chapter 36

Yong-kka is a derogatory term for someone who’s an anti-fan of the Mir Guild.

There’s an old saying on the internet: “Fappers create haters.”

It’s true that the Mir Guild has a strong fandom rivaling that of any League 1 guild, but equally true—no, far more so—is that it has a massive number of anti-fans.

And of course, these Yong-kkas have absolutely no desire to see the Mir Guild succeed.

— “Mir Guild is perfect for the bottom tier… hehe”

└ “Mihaddak LOLLLLL”

└ “Well, yeah, I guess haha;;”

— “Upvote if you want to smack those smug Yong-fappers lolol”

└ “LOL those Yong-fappers act way too cocky.”

└ “Isn’t it cute how they keep crashing and burning, then coming back every year saying ‘This year’s different’ hahahaha”

Someone might ask:

Why do they hate the Mir Guild so much?

The Yong-kkas would answer with another question:

“Are you a Yong-fapper?”

Think of the Mir Guild as a toy.

When you get bad grades, fail to land a job, or get chewed out by your boss…

Living in this harsh world can sometimes make you feel small. And humans, being petty, often find comfort in the misfortune of others.

That’s when they dig out this nostalgic toy from the back of the closet—the Mir Guild.

The very definition of a downfall: starting in League 1, tumbling all the way down to League 4 over the course of sixty years.

The Yong-kkas look at the Mir Guild for comfort. “Well, at least I’m not that bad.” “Our guild isn’t that low.” They feed their shallow sense of superiority by watching Mir flail at the bottom.

So they want the guild to stay down forever, to remain their little plaything.

But then—

[Troublemaker “Lee Shin” becomes the new helmsman of Mir]

[Breaking shock: Lee Shin’s first recruitment—Mountain King Kim Jong-pil joins Mir]

For a League 4 guild to attract a group like LeeDo was already absurd enough, but then they also roped in Kim Jong-pil, the Mountain King.

It was like your village idiot older brother suddenly rolling up in a Ferrari, shyly confessing, “Actually, I’m a chaebol heir.”

It was infuriating.

If not for the Mountain King’s arrogant pledge to “never take the front lines” or for Lee Shin’s reckless move of filling the rest of the roster with nothing but rookies, the jealousy might have made them roll on the floor in agony.

Fueled by that jealousy, the Yong-kkas cheered for their own guilds even more fiercely.

They wanted their guild to put this upstart toy back in its place but as the rounds went on, they began to notice something strange.

— “Why aren’t those guys dropping? Five consecutive rounds of breaking records? Someone explain.”

└ “They’re screwed, man. My friend’s a Yongbung-i, and I watched a stream on his account—no joke, they’ve unleashed their full potential LOL”

└ “I just watched the highlights—insane. Their teamwork’s crazy. Felt like watching League 3. Especially Park Su-bin—he’s the real deal.”

— “What’s with their record? Is the Mountain King really keeping his pledge?”

└ “Yeah;; he’s just spectating.”

└ “The Mountain King’s not the problem. All the rookies are playing like they’re on something.”

└ “Weren’t those all Lee Shin’s picks? … Jealous…”

In the lower leagues, where most fans are local, prospects are just as important as results.

But Mir Guild didn’t just crush it in results—they also managed to develop rookies like Park Su-bin, Park Jung-seok, and Lee Hye-jeong, players most people were skeptical about before the season.

And Park Su-bin? He’s called a genuine “local boy”—rarer than a unicorn.

It burned them up badly.

Even the Yong-kkas had to half-collapse in defeat.

Still, they hadn’t lost all reason just yet.

They didn’t direct their rage at Mir Guild—instead, they blamed their own incompetent, lazy, utterly useless front offices that couldn’t recognize such “gems” and could only churn out crap every day.

But then… the incident happened.

[Supreme Prosecutors’ Office: “We will root out deeply entrenched corruption” — Nationwide supplier-gate investigation begins]

It was the worst issue of the year:

90% of small-to-mid-sized suppliers related to guilds nationwide investigated.

60% fined.

30% had business suspended.

10% imprisoned.

It was the Supplier-gate.

— “Effects of Lee Shin’s tears, listed.”

1. Nationwide investigation wipes out suppliers.

2. Supply chain paralysis annihilates lower-league guilds.

3. Mir alone preserves its power, dominates League 4.

└ “Still think that’s a coincidence?”

└ ???: “Wrongdoings… must be corrected. Sniff sniff.” God, I wanna punch him.

└ “That tear-jerking plea is disgusting, you bastard.”

Supplier-gate turned the lower leagues into a wasteland.

There’s a reason in military history they say logistics decide the war—how can you fight without supplies?

In fact, one out of three lower-league guilds gave up competing altogether during this time.

So where would the fans of suddenly-ruined guilds direct their resentment?

At their own guilds that had already collapsed into rebuilding season?

At raid teams limping along with no supplies?

Of course not.

They cursed the root of it all—Lee Shin—and the Mir Guild, which was soaring ever higher while their own guilds fell apart.

— “Lee Shin, you fing scumbag”

— “Son of a b** ruining the league for his own gain”

— “F** your kid”

— (harsh insults)

— (very harsh insults)

— (unspeakable insults)

And in doing so, they crossed a line.

Finally, they awoke those who had been slumbering.

— “Heh… so you’ve lost your damn minds, huh?”

These were the ones who once dominated the lawless wilds of online communities.

Even though their influence had waned, they still had the strength of a hundred warriors each, striking fear into everyone.

The loyal retainers of the fallen dragon, who had been buried alongside it, crying only for the dragon’s lost glory.

We have a name for them—Yongbung-i 

At last, they had awakened.

________________________________________

"…That’s how it happened."

"Puhahahahaha."

So that’s why there’s a dragon emblem stuck on someone else’s front gate, hahaha.

Lee Shin clutched his stomach and laughed.

He didn’t know who did it, but as a former worker in this field, he could guess — this was the work of a pro. Not just one or two people, but an organized hack requiring quite a few members.

If the gate was like this, the state of the message board was nothing short of hell.

— Hello. Is this the gallery of the Universe’s Strongest Mir Guild?

No. This was not the Mir Guild gallery.

— I got so bored I wanted to die. ★Great Est Mi R★

And that picture over there of chickens with thick chest meat covered in dragon tattoos had nothing to do with this place either.

— I heard you guys went under? From now on, Mir Guild is taking over here!

Let’s be perfectly clear.

Even if the front gate had Mir Guild’s dragon emblem hanging on it, even if more than 70% of the board’s posts were filled with Mir Guild memes and Mir Guild news—

This was not the Mir Guild gallery.

This was the gallery of < Night Sea Guild >, another League 4 guild in Busan.

And the reason it ended up like this?

Pure size difference.

— You bastards, get back to your own gallery!

— But Dragon Bros are bored, ㅇㅅㅇ;;

— < Compilation of Mountain King’s active moments >

— < Baby Su-bin’s super cute expressions >

— Why the hell are you posting your guys’ highlight moments in our gallery, you f*ers!

— Sir, please don’t be mad. Wanna see this? < Compilation of Park Jung-seok’s shield charges >

— Get lost, you son of a b**! Where’s the mod? Is the mod not working?

— …The mod collapsed last night after fighting on Tiananmen;;;

— < Compilation of Lee Hye-jeong’s somersaults >

— Stop posting that damn clip already!!

Why do you think the saying “There’s no business against numbers” exists?

The Night Sea Guild’s fan club membership was around 7,000.

Considering that the average fan club size for a League 4 guild was about 5,000, it was a fairly large group.

But their opponent? Mir Guild, with 500,000 fan club members.

500,000 to 7,000. Just looking at that was enough to take your breath away.

And those 500,000 were battle-hardened veterans who had fought on the front lines for 60 years of decline.

Meaning—

— Heheheh, this is fun. Dragon Bros are fun.

— Thank you, Night Stars. Thanks to you, I feel like I’ve gone back to my youth^^

Numbers? Check. Combat power? Check.

There was no way they could withstand this.

"Puhaha. This is a masterpiece."

The situation unfolding was ridiculously entertaining. Lee Shin clapped like a seal in delight.

"Everyone keeps talking about hardcore fandoms, and wow, their organization is amazing. Yeah, this is how Dragon Bros should be. This is what our Dragon Bros are about."

Even on GM, where there wasn’t much fandom content, there were separate stories about the Dragon Bros.

Those stories were about the fandom’s bad behavior, and knowing that, their combat power wasn’t exactly incomprehensible.

Like tying someone to a telephone pole and lynching them as a group — the battle power of Dragon Bros, armed under the name of ‘fan,’ was beyond imagination.

But so what?

When they’re the opponent, they’re the most troublesome thing in the world, but right now, they’re on our side. They’re our bros.

"Hehe, I feel so damn reassured, my bros."

Lee Shin chuckled and admired the dragon emblem for a while, while Chae Dong-ha, standing a step behind, let out a deep sigh.

"Have you laughed enough?"

"Yeah, that was a good laugh I haven’t had in a while."

"This isn’t something to laugh about… other guilds are filing complaints."

"Complaints? Why?"

"You’re looking at it right now. Exactly as you see."

As mentioned earlier — spamming, mockery, instigation, even bribing minor officials and manipulating public opinion.

They were chewing up and enjoying other guilds’ galleries like playgrounds.

"Wow, our fans are really talented, huh?"

"How many times do I have to tell you this isn’t the time to be impressed? There are more than ten galleries that have been occupied like this."

"Ten?! Whoa!"

"Even early yesterday morning, they went to the ‘League 3 Unified Gallery’ and said, ‘Pack up. From now on, Mir Guild is moving in here.’"

"Man, look at that swagger. It’s killing me. Or wait, did I already die a little?"

"Ha… President!"

"Alright, alright. So the other side is complaining about our fans’ cute little prank. Yeah. So what exactly do they want us to do?"

"They want you to officially tell them to stop."

At that, Lee Shin’s eyes went wide in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"They actually said that?"

"Yes?"

"…I got so bored I wanted to die."

To ask him to stop such a witty and ultra-cute event?

Were they lacking sense, or was their vision too narrow? No wonder they were only a League 4 guild.

Lee Shin, clearly losing interest, waved his hand dismissively.

"Playing along only works if both sides are in sync. Forget it. Just tell them I said okay."

"…That’s it?"

"Yeah, why?"

So he was going to comply this easily?

As Chae Dong-ha hesitated at this unexpected reaction, Lee Shin casually added,

"Oh right, hyung, that thing. You know, that thing I told you to get before!"

"You’ve told me to get so many things…"

"The jacket!"

"You mean the varsity jacket?"

"Yeah. Did it turn out okay?"

"Yes. It’s excellent."

"Good. Go on then."

Thud—

Chae Dong-ha left the room and closed the door.

"…?"

What’s this?

Is it going to be resolved this easily? And what’s with the varsity jacket?

As he tried to figure out Lee Shin’s intentions, Chae Dong-ha suddenly chuckled in disbelief.

‘I must be pretty marinated in the president’s ways. The fact that a normal reaction feels awkward…’

When there’s a problem, you fix it. When you’re told to check something, you check it. Nothing strange about that, right?

Thinking so, Chae Dong-ha replied to the guild that had complained, telling them the problem had been resolved.

But exactly 24 hours later—Chae Dong-ha received an even more heated complaint call than before.

Because…

[ In thanks for your support, Mir Guild is giving back~♡ ]

[ ★ (New!) 2,000 Mir Varsity Jackets ★ ]

Lee Shin wasn’t stopping them — he was egging them on and even providing tribute so they’d fight harder.

"I said okay, but I never said I’d fix it."
