Déjà vu? Why is it that only things like this keep happening to me…?― “Huh? I just got disconnected.”“…What?”Not just me—Gang Jaegyung got booted too? Then could this be a server-wide problem?“I got kicked as well.”― “If even Honeybread got disconnected, then maybe others too? But when the server itself crashes, it usually throws error code 01. This time it’s 12. I’ve never seen that number before… Ah, are the others still logged in fine? Then this must be part of Anansi’s mechanic, cutting off our connection.”Wow. Now it’s not just me—Anansi even booted Gang Jaegyung who was running the dungeon with me. These bastards are wicked. Still, I guess they’ve got a conscience, since this time they didn’t shut down the client entirely—just kicked us back to the character select screen. At least I didn’t have to go through the hassle of restarting the whole game. Misery with a silver lining.Anyway, since both of us got disconnected, Anansi’s progress must have reset, and we’d have to start over from the beginning. Retry was to be expected, but being kicked like this was just plain annoying. Such a bother. Would it be overstepping to tell the company not to put in stuff like this?Sighing to myself, I clicked confirm to close the notification window in front of me and tried logging back in on my Honeybread character.[Loading character information…][Requesting character information…][Failed to load character information. (UID)][Requesting recovery…][Recovery successful.][Loading character information…][Connecting…]A bunch of messages popped up, but still—I was getting back in.Meanwhile, Gang Jaegyung seemed thrilled, judging by the way his voice rose as he dug into the message about failing to load character data and its connection to the UID. Maybe it really would be overstepping to tell the devs what to do. Just let them put in whatever.Soon the “Connecting…” message disappeared and the loading screen appeared. After the illustration for the Concealed Mirror Maze passed by, the screen finally showed our characters—mine and Gang Jaegyung’s—glitched out, floating as blobs of light.I immediately clicked the “Resurrect” button and hit enter right away to see if chat worked again.[Party] Honeybread: ㅇㅇㄹㅇㄴㄹㅇ[Party] Honeybread: It works― “Chat’s back? Then I guess it really was Anansi who took it away.”[Party] Honeybread: Yeah[Party] Honeybread: And the disconnect too― “At first I thought it just took away the flight ability, but why would it boot us completely?”The fact that not only I, but also Gang Jaegyung got disconnected was definitely odd. After all, flight was something only I used, and I was the only one who got hit.But now that I thought about it—I was the one who typed in chat, yet Gang Jaegyung couldn’t use chat either. So maybe when something gets taken as the price, it applies to the pair, like we’re linked?“Hm…”[Party] Honeybread: dunno― “First off, we definitely mustn’t use flight. And this time, instead of chat, let’s test if we can offer something else as the price.”[Party] Honeybread: yeah― “Honestly, I’d prefer to just pay with chat again and talk to you over voice, since it would speed up clearing time…”[Party] Honeybread: no― “Yeah, figured you’d say that.”Unlike when it was just the two of us, Gang Jaegyung backed down without pushing further. Because he was streaming, no doubt. Funny, realizing he actually cares about his image.Anyway, what we’d learned from this mechanic was that Anansi, like null, interfered with the user’s system. But sealing off chat wasn’t necessarily mandatory. Communication was one of the most important parts of party play.Even though we were paired, we were from different factions, so normally it wasn’t easy to chat or even exchange contact info. Which meant that when tackling Anansi, chat was practically indispensable. So there had to be another option besides losing chat.As I headed back toward the hall where Anansi waited, I started thinking carefully about what else we could possibly offer him instead of chat.***TlP — For the Shinjok, wings are ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) a vital organ.***Title: What does error code 12 mean?Author: [Viajok] McMorning See-It-OnceSearched, but nothing comes up.(16 comments)Another party asked earlier too, but no one had an answer.└ [Author] Could it be a Hidden Spider Dungeon–only code? Like that 0xnull thing last time.What were you doing when it popped up?└ [Author] Not me—Honeybread got booted at the last boss, and that’s the error code that came up.└ Damn, they’re already that far? Fast.└ But isn’t Retaking a Class weak when it comes to programming stuff?└ [Author] Yeah, that’s why I’m trying to find out for him, but nothing’s showing.└ Got it, I’ll help look too.└ [Author] Thanks, thanks.I’ve seen 10 or maybe 11 before.└ [Author] Can you tell me what they mean?└ Not sure, I was going to look it up again but couldn’t find it.└ From what I recall, back in the day a toxic player got permanently banned mid-game, live. The screenshot he posted had error code 10 or 11.└ [Author] Whoa, that’s actually useful. Thanks.└ Oh, I remember that now. That bastard was a real piece of work. Watching him get perma-banned live was so damn satisfying… They even deleted his character outright.└ Yeah lol, famous incident. The character was such a headache they just erased it completely.***When we rushed back to the hall, Anansi was calmly leaning against the wall, knitting with his webs. The moment he noticed us return, he ripped apart what he’d been weaving and stood tall. The sight of him relaxing so leisurely rubbed me the wrong way…I wanted nothing more than to smack him, so as soon as Gang Jaegyung buffed me up, I charged straight at Anansi. But he didn’t so much as flinch at my blows. Instead, he just clicked and chittered.[Once more! The trial begins!]So it skips the intro and goes straight into the trial? Now that I like.Anansi shot a web upward. This time, the shape that appeared was different from the one before. So the puzzle changes with each attempt, huh?That would make it trickier—having to solve or memorize multiple patterns. But that was fine. I had Gang Jaegyung.― “Come over to where I am.”Sure enough, before long, Gang Jaegyung’s character hopped around to mark the spot. I pulled Anansi over to his side.Now it was time to make the offering.He’d probably want some function the player uses, like chat. Or maybe he’d even accept valuable items. In normal trades, it’s material goods that are exchanged, so maybe if I gave him a rare item he’d take it. It wouldn’t matter anyway—once the dungeon was cleared, everything would be restored.I hit I to open my inventory, searching for something worth giving.[Good. Let’s go with that!]“…Huh?”Suddenly Anansi’s voice echoed. The moment my inventory opened—it slammed shut again. Suspicious, I hit I once more… but nothing happened.No way. Did this crazy bastard just take my entire inventory?― “Uh, I didn’t do anything…”Gang Jaegyung muttered in confusion, having no clue what just happened. No wonder—barely seconds after I dragged Anansi over, I pressed the key and the whole thing got stolen.[Party] Honeybread: it’s me― “Ah! What did you give him?”His voice brightened, happy that we’d at least cleared one hurdle. Though having my entire inventory stolen… well, maybe it wasn’t as crippling as losing chat.[Party] Honeybread: inv― “…Wait. Your inventory?”[Party] Honeybread: yeah― “Not just items—the whole inventory?”[Party] Honeybread: yeah..He went quiet for a moment—probably checking his own shortcut key.― “You’re right… This means I absolutely cannot die now. No resurrection scrolls. And the items I had on my hotbar all show as zero, so I can’t use them either. That means managing mana will be… Hmm. Never mind. Since there’s nothing we really need to attack right now, I’ll just conserve with minimal healing.”Quick to adapt, Gang Jaegyung adjusted the plan. Meanwhile, Anansi, having received his due, snipped the web above us and dropped heavily to the floor, chuckling with mocking laughter.[Correct.]The first puzzle-shape disappeared overhead, and Anansi fired another web upward. A new figure spread out in its place. This time, a heptagon—or no, a star hewn inside it, forming a seven-pointed star. Lines crisscrossed within, and a stray line jutted outside, making it look far more complicated.
