Elsa did not receive any reply. While she was staring at her screen in confusion, Olivia screamed out of nowhere. Elsa quickly turned towards her.
"What's wrong?" she asked hastily. Ann was climbing the short ladder to go to her upper bunk when Olivia screamed. She was so startled that she lost her grip on the ladder, but fortunately managed to land on her feet.
"Elsa, Elsa!" Olivia stammered, her eyes fixed on the laptop. "Sorrow just had a fight with Obsession and After Your Birth."
"What?" Elsa asked, blankly staring at her.
Olivia rolled her eyes. "Silent Sorrow had a fight against the legendary players from Dragon Leaping, Obsession and After Your Birth!"
"Why?" Ann asked. She was the first among Olivia's three roommates to realize what was happening. She ran to Olivia to look at her laptop. Anna followed her close behind.
Only Olivia and Elsa played Dragon. Ann and Anna were not interested in games, which seemed to them like an otaku's hobby. They used the computer to search for financial news, beauty products and hairdressing information or to look at gossip pages. Now that there was a shocking gossip going around, how could they ignore it?
After being annoyingly stared at by Olivia for a while, Elsa finally realized whom she was referring to. In a hurry, she turned to look at her own laptop. At that moment, an unbelievable notice appeared on the screen.
[System] Notice: The player Silent Sorrow from the region Dragon Yelling To The Sky was killed by the player Obsession with the winning skill Dragon Ice Blockage. The aftermath of this war will turn ever bloodier, as in the foreseeable future, hatred will be used to cease hatred.
Unlike with ordinary players, when a player in the top ten list of all servers died, a system notice would be issued to announce his/her death in all the servers. The legendary player in Dragon, Silent Sorrow, had been killed by Obsession twice in just eight hours since the regions had been combined. This made quite a stir in the Dragon game. Some players from other regions also came to watch the scene unfolding in Dragon Yelling To The Sky by registering additional accounts.
[World] Not Bothered To Be Named: What's wrong with you, Dragon Yelling To The Sky? How could you be beaten so miserably by Dragon Leaping Over The Wind? How could this be?!
[World] Too Anxious To Be Named: Did anyone record a video? Please share with me. This is such a sensational news! Silent Sorrow was beaten by somebody so badly...
[World] Wandering Ghost: Alas...Although I'm a player from Dragon Leaping Over The Wind, I have to say that Silent Sorrow's skills were so amazing that he died a glorious death.
[World] Wind Blowing Butt: Wandering Ghost, nobody cares about your opinion.
[World] Pants Have No Zipper: Whoops...When you lose a game, you should admit it gracefully rather than stopping others from talking about it.
[World] Puppet321: You killed Silent Sorrow the first time by grabbing the chance while he wasn't playing the game himself. The second time, two of you fought against him for more than twenty minutes and managed to kill him by sheer luck. How can you so shamelessly boast in public about your victory?
[World] Peeping At Beauties From A Ditch: Bitch, what are you talking about?! Silent Sorrow lost because he is not skilled enough. You players from Dragon Yelling To The Sky are scared of him and dare not touch him, but we players of Dragon Leaping Over The Wind were able to kill him in a flash.
[World] Puppet321: I have seen many shameless people, but I have never seen anybody who is as petty as your Creepy Group. Your face skin is thicker than the bricks on Great Wall.
Soon after, the former members of Dragon Yelling To The Sky and Dragon Leaping Over The Wind started a war of words, while players from other servers looked on. It was a spectacular show down. None of the members of Madness Is Good said a word in World. Perhaps it was because Silent Sorrow was a member of their group. They just silently watched the two parties fight verbally.
[World] Puppet123: Honey, don't talk to these creepy people. We're porcelain, while they are just crockery. Why would fine porcelain collide with the crude crockery? It's just a waste of our time and energy.
[World] Puppet321: You're so right, honey!
[World] Married In School Uniform: What the fuck? Who are you referring to as crockery?
