2022-09-22 16:04:07This is the second time he has attempted suicide this month. Without changing clothes, while still wearing my graduation robe, I dash out of the hall and order a Grab to take me to the hospital. 'Crazy..!!' That's all in my mind. 'What has made him so desperate until until choose to suicide?!. If it's about his final research project, I think he's already finished it and has published his jurnal last month.’
"You want to kill me huh?!" My legs are still trembling. After getting off the motorbike I dash to the 5th floor where he was hospitalized. "Want to make me die young?!" My head feels very dizzy. I sat on the floor, straightened my legs, and tried to catch my breath next to his bed. It feels like my heart has jumped from its place now, and my chest feels sore because of running. He didn't pay any attention to my words, his eyes were red and his face was puffy. His leg was broken and had to be in a cast. While his entire body was covered with scratches including his torn temples and swollen lips.
"Grafik’s family?" A nurse walked toward me. “It's a recipe to redeem!” The nurse gave me some sheets of paper. "Are you his sister?" The nurse asked so, perhaps because she didn't see the resemblance between us.
"I'm his friend!”
“Do you know the patient's family? It's better to contact them for now!”
I looked at Graf, he looked really messed up. I don't know what made him choose to cuicide. Although I don't know what it is, I'm sure it's quite a serious matter. "We're close friends," I tried to reassure the nurse. “His family live in Kerinci. It will take a few days to arrive in Malang. Maybe It's better to let them know when he is recovering!” The nurse was silent.
After putting down the flower bouquet and my bag, I immediately went out of his room to redeem the medicine. He drives me crazy. First, he tried to consume insect repellent, then he jumped from the 3rd floor of his dorm. Luckily he got caught in a tree first and then fell. If he fell straight to the ground, I can't imagine what would happen to him now.
"You're crazy Graff!".
I saw Neo, maybe he just arrived. "Where's Grafik's room?!" He asked with an anxious expression. Behind him, I saw Amanda.
I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before walking over to him. "Come with me to the pharmacy for a while!" My legs are still trembling. I was afraid I'd collapse at any moment. I asked Amanda, who had followed Neo, to accompany Graf.
…
“You guys are hiding something from me?!” I stared at Neo. "This is already the second time. Luckily he's still alive,” I wanted Neo to tell me what had happened if he did know anything about Graf. My studies are over, I won't be living in a dorm anymore. That means I can't take care of my super duper up normal friend.
"Ouh..., I'm still confused about how to explain our situation to you," Neo said. He seemed confused.
"It doesn't matter. Just say it!" I'm very curious.
"You know about 9 Guardians?" I don't understand what Neo means. “This game was released 7 years ago. An MMORPG game that I find super relaxing,” Neo looks at me. I don't understand, and just keep quiet.
"Then, what does that have to do with suicide?"
"Graf, with the IGN Monck_cha, is one of the strongest archers in the game." He had been playing this game since its first release, but took a year's rest".
I am still confused, having never played a game other than solitaire on the computer in my life. "So...?".
"We join the same guild!"
"Guilds?" I'm still trying to understand what that means.
"In every guild war, Monck is the main DPS LRD, damage dealer, and dps range. He is also our guild's vice-chairman."
'Gosh, I don't understand God...!'. "Then why he chose to suicide if he is... a great soldier in his guild?!" I said looking at Neo. "Sorry, but this is simply my perception of what you have said. Am I wrong?"
"His account was hacked a few months ago. Someone accessed that account without his permission, and worse, that person erased all equipment, gold, rubies, and everything else that had been earned so far in this."
"Does that mean it won't return?" I'm trying to understand what he was explaining, but Neo appears to realize I'm still trying to understand this problem.
"You don't understand it?! The point is, that you worked hard for 7 years. You purchased a home, a car, a savings account, and then someone stole it all. How do you feel?! Graf's main account is in 9 Guardians. He's been playing that game for 7 years with that account."
I finally understand what Graf went through. "Is there no way to get it back?" I considered how to catch thieves like in the real world.
"Asian developers are very slow to respond. Maybe the situation would be different if we lived in Japan, where the game originated!"
I don't think I can help this time. Even though the root of the problem is related to the 9 Guardians I still do not understand the other things like what is guilds. LRD? I'm still confused.
…
When we came back I saw him sitting. He was eating the cake Neo had brought. Graf looks so devastated, it seems that he really likes the game.
"Congratulations on your graduation," he said while smiling.
"It doesn't matter. Think about your healthfirst!” I walk toward him.
"Come here!" I'm not sure why Graf asked me to come closer. His left hand was holding a memory card. "Save it!" He said as he gave me the memory card.
"What's this?!" They all looked at me. I'm confused, especially when Neo was grinning at me.
“Save and learn!”Graf said to me.
"What is this?" I asked and immediately returned the memory card that Graf had given to me. "I don't want to get involved in anything dangerous!" I don't want to be in trouble because of the game that went to Graf's choice to suicide or anything related to the incident that has caused him into the way he is now. My life has been relatively tranquil. I graduated college, got a job, and was able to live a normal life. I'm grateful for what I have now and don't want to deal with or be involved in anything that complicates things in my life.
"Can you wait for us outside, Amanda?" " Neo asks Amanda to wait outside. The girl was so obedient that she left us.
"I've seen you play piano tiles," Graf said while giving me the memory card once more. "I admit your finger movements are very fast when it comes to pressing the black keys on your phone screen during game play!"
"Hasn't it been a long time?!" I often used to play it because I was bored.
"I want you to put on Monck and play 9 Guardians for me!" ”
"Are you crazy?! Falling makes your brain shift?!” I took my bag intending to go home, my body was very tired. I want to sleep for a while.
"Henny...!" Neo called out to me just as I was about to open the door. “Please be Monck. At least until Graf heals!”
No, I'm not interested in 9 Guardians or other games. I don't like games; I play them just to kill free time. Would not make it as my second life. I thought the game was quite dangerous too, especially after seeing what Graf went through. I don't like getting involved in anything dangerous, let alone anything that may endanger my life. My life is too precious.
"I've already transferred $5.000 to your bank account; if you agree, I'll transfer the remaining $20.000 to your account in the eighth month or until I recover."
“I'm not interested. I'll return it."
“$80.000?!”
He wants to kill me it seems.
"Are you sure?" Graf is insane, according to Neo. He offered me $85.000 to play on a hacked account.
"If you want to use my account for 11 months, I'll pay $80.000 starting next month. I will not pay you in the last month, but from next month you will get a monthly payment of $7.273."

A security system, for example from a data storage area, can be likened to a house. Like a house filled with luxury goods, it will be guarded not only by a housekeeper but perhaps bullet-proof windows and a hazard alarm to detect anyone trying to enter the house who has entered without permission to steal the items inside. Not only that; usually the homeowner will also hire a paid thief who will be asked to enter the house with the aim of stealing. This thief will then report to the homeowner what needs to be repaired from the defense system in the house so that the house cannot be entered by real thieves. White hacker is the name of this mercenary thief. They will get paid after detecting various leaks from a company's data storage defense system.…For almost 5 days I tried to enter the 9 Guardians central data storage system, but all the methods and efforts I did always failed. I admit that the defense system of one of the MMORPG games produced by the biggest game company in Japan

"Han where are you now? I went to your boarding house, but they said you went out!” Graf contacted me, his tone sounded so frantic."The internet at my boarding house is under repair, I go to campus to get free wifi!"."You still working?".I wanted to answer that I was trying to get into the 9 Guardians central data storage system for Graf, but I knew this would cause problems. He might ask me why I need to enter the game data storage center and what my real purpose is. "I'm not working, just trying to test some programs I've made!" I had to lie to him.The night was getting late, the clock was almost 11 P.M. The road to my boarding house might turn out to be very dark and the main road would be deserted just before midnight. I thought, that I should finish today. After 3 hours of trying to get into the system, my efforts always fail. I'm afraid that what I put in my effort will only end up in vain and I'll disappoint Yuuki and her friend."You don't look like you're checking the pro

Today, I lost some friends in 9 Guardians. Previously I thought that they were just characters that were deliberately created by players or their owners when they were in 9 Guardians. I used to think they weren't alive and weren't even real, but this loss is just as painful as when I lose a friend in the real world. Maybe I've only met Leah and her team a few times, but working together against the Banshee created a strong friendship between us."What about Evo and Phantom?" They didn't join in the discussion and they still haven't contacted me either. “Are they already aware of this mass ban problem? What about their accounts? Can they still log into the game?!” The problem is, Graf, forbids me from contacting anyone other than him and forbids me from using social media apps. This is to prevent my location from being traced again by Lucid members, including Dante who is probably the owner of the Zealseal account. ‘How do I contact them? I looked at the list of guild members, and I lo

This is the first time in almost a month that I have played this game, Filannesia feels so deserted. The map that became the center of this trade suddenly turned deserted like a dead city just a day after the mass ban incident that seems to have been done by the 9 Guardians developer. Even when I was in the town square which was usually packed with players waiting for the announcement board of the Celestial Tower's results, today it was just empty."Where did they all go?".I searched every corner of the city. Moving from one save point map to another save point map, all of the maps show the same condition: quiet, empty with only a few players who also seem to be confused by the existing conditions. I was about to ask about what happened to some of the players I met, but I didn't.I then remembered where the Dark Dragon was located, Inner Black Dragon Shrine. Zealseal once said that in that place there are often BOT and MOD who do farming repeatedly to get one of the drop items from t

"I haven't opened your email yet, but I'm pretty sure; that only by logging in using the same device can this be banned if indeed the 9 Guardians developer applies a banned IP address sistem. If this is the case, we will no longer be able to have multiple accounts or clone accounts. Even if we use different passwords for each account, when we still log in to this game using the same device we could get banned. I don't know much about this system, but using a single device to log in with multiple accounts is extremely dangerous. Of course, the developer already knows that so many players have more than one account!".I believe the IP address ban system was implemented by the 9 Guardians game developer to reduce the number of existing account clones. Too many clone accounts or players will undoubtedly overload the server as well as the 9 Guardians game's central data storage. Perhaps they don't want to repeat the same rollback incident that occurred a few years ago, so they intend to re

The discussion ended around 01.00 A.M. "Have you gotten your bowgun yet?" Graf was speaking with his mouth full. He had only recently opened his dinner box, which contained chicken karage and salad. It's just a very late dinner time."I've got the bowgun!" When Graf asked this, I remembered what materials I should use later for all of my tank equipment. Maybe I should discuss it with Graf about it since all of the gold I'd use to buy all of the substances belonged to him. "Can you tell me what substance I should use for all of my tank equipment?"Graf looked at me as if he was recalling something. "Have you refined all of your tank equipment?" Graf inquired, and I responded with a nod. "Leo Nubia and blue Tomatoon are the best substant for tank armor. Ice Lion can be used for substance in weapons, and red Tomatoon should be used in the second slot. There are three types of Tomatoon substances; make sure you get the right one when you buy it. Green Tomatoon are the most useless!" Said,
