Guidebook to Being a Supporter

I thought he was a shy, nerdy older brother type, so I followed him around, giving him advice. But the ‘owner’ I met in the real world outside the game was a sensitive rock star who belonged in the back alleys of Hongdae at night.

At the second offline meetup where I saw him again, Hyunwoo caused a huge accident that shook the very foundation of his life. Since that day, Hyunwoo has been living in constant, agonizing fear.

Unless one of us quits the game, this suffering will not end.

But then.

“Don’t worry.”

“Huh?”

“If it’s too uncomfortable for you, I’ll leave or something.”

Why do I find this situation, where the only witness to the accident I caused is willingly offering to disappear from my sight, so unpleasant?

Gong: Jeon Hyunwoo (Username: NationwideSlaveShow) A Summoner in the supporter class of the game The Frontier. Ever since reaching the Gong 5 rankings, he has never once dropped out. He’s the “homebody” type of user who excels not just in combat, but in life skills as well. Outside the game, he is a respectable art student who detests anything unharmonious or unattractive. Except for one single flaw, his ex-girlfriends all agree he was the best boyfriend they ever had.

Soo: Baek Jooin (Username: Jooin) A Bard in the supporter class of the game The Frontier. As a Bard who cures status ailments through music, he ditches the typical elegant instruments of a medieval fantasy setting to shred on an electric guitar instead. He holds the “Headliner” title as the #1 ranked player in his class. Outside the game, he’s been the lead guitarist for a band for six years. While popular regardless of gender, he hates being bothered and tries to avoid people or events that don’t involve his guitar or his band.

Recommended For: When you want to see a protagonist struggle with all his might to catch the eye of someone who is indifferent to everyone—especially him.
