The Support Ate it All

Hong Yeon-hwa had heard about the game “Weapon Master” in passing.

She wondered just how fun it had to be to come up in conversation so often and felt the urge to experience it for herself.

So, to take her mind off things, she headed to the game center in the downtown area over the weekend.

Weapon Master generally encouraged players to participate in teams of two.

Solo players would be automatically paired with a teammate, but team-based games were always better when played with someone familiar.

Just then, she spotted a second-year senior she knew by face and teamed up with her to enter the game.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s character was a Barbarian warrior, while the second-year senior’s character was a Mage.

She had heard that players often ended up with a class completely unrelated to their real-life expertise, and sure enough, she was assigned a close-combat class.

I can’t believe I’m actually playing a Barbarian.
