Reset: DPS to Support?!

Logging out, Hasegawa Zayden sat within his capsule as he awakened into the real world. Zayden stretched his body as he let out a loud yawn, quickly getting up from his seat.

Zayden's eyes glanced over towards his window as he sees the darkened skies.

"It's already this late?" Zayden continued yawning and stretching his body as he scrutinized over to the clock hanging on the walls: 1 AM.

"Man, I played for this long huh?" Zayden walked out of his room whilst scratching the back of his head as he quickly made his way over to the bathroom.

Going into the bathroom, Zayden walked up to his sink as he turned on the tap. He splashed the running water onto his face. After washing up, Zayden grabbed a towel hanging on the towel rack.

Wiping his face clean, Zayden stared into his reflect on his mirror in front of him.

Much like the appearance of 'Shinto' in-game, there wasn't much disparity between the two. Zayden was a young man in his mid-twenties who boasted an attractive look. With his dishevelled black hair and slant eyes. Often times than not, he would sometimes be mistaken as a teenager for his look, although he did give off a mature feeling.

After washing up, Zayden walked over to the living room as he took a glance towards Jisa's room.

'Hmm, she must be sleeping by now.'

Letting out another yawn, Zayden scurried back into his room as he lied down on his black sheet bed, taking out his phone that's been lying on the desk, he switched on his phone. The light on his phone shone brightly from the brightness of his phone as he took a glance at it. Immediately after, he felt like coughing blood.

The front notifications on his screen were filled with messages and pings from his Line and Discord app. Zayden had received over more than 99+ messages from these two apps alone. As he scrolled down, he noticed multiple private messages on his forum account as well.

"...This"

His eyes shook at the sight. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the endless notifications he had gotten.

'There are so many messages...'

Zayden sighed to himself, as he opened up his Discord app.

@Hikari: Zayden? Are you there? Are you alright? Did Arceus do something? Do I have to bring about judgement to him for you? (1)

@Rienla: Just what is going on? (1)

@Arceus: OI OI OI YOU PIECE OF SHIT ANSWER ME!!! STOP GHOSTING!! (99+)

...

...

@Jisa: I'm going to sleep, make sure to eat food if you're hungry and make sure to wash up! Don't just go to sleep instantly after getting out of the capsule! You got that?

Zayden really felt like coughing blood as he opened up the app. Besides the ones that appeared on his notifications, there were even more messages than he had expected from multitudes of people on his Discord, they were mainly from the top 50 unified rankers or from his guildmates.

Zayden signed.

'I didn't expect this much...'

Zayden shook his head as he skimmed through his messages, ignoring the ones who he rarely talked to, he began sending back replies to everyone.

...

@Rienla: Just what is going on?

@Shinto: Aha... It's a long story. You'll find out in the future, for now, I'm just taking a break.

...

@Jisa: I'm going to sleep, make sure to eat food if you're hungry and make sure to wash up! Don't just go to sleep instantly after getting out of the capsule! You got that?

@Shinto: Of course. Anyways, night Jisa!

@Shinto: And... Don't you dare forcibly wake me up...

...

Going through his DMs, Zayden glanced over towards Arceus's endless stream of messages.

...

@Arceus: SHINTOOOOO!!!!

@Arceus: WHAT THE HELL!!

@Arceus: OI I AINT SATISFIED.

@Arceus: FIGHT ME YOU, COWARD!!!

@Arceus: OI OI OI YOU PIECE OF SHIT ANSWER ME!!! STOP GHOSTING!!

Taking a glance at the messages Arceus sent, Zayden wanted to cry... Most of Arceus's messages were purely like this. just piles of spam.

'This guy...'

Zayden sighed to himself as he closed the DM, completely ignoring everything Arceus said, soon after, he looked over to another DM.

...

@Hikari: Zayden? Are you there? Are you alright? Did Arceus do something? Do I have to bring about judgement to him for you?

@Shinto: Yeah I'm fine. Arceus didn't do anything, though, if you want you can punish him for giving me a pain in the neck 99+ message spam.

The moment Zayden send out the message to Hikari, she immediately replied back.

@Hikari: Ahh! Zay! Took you a while to reply -_-

@Hikari: I'm guessing you're about to go sleep?

@Shinto: Yep, am about to doze off soon.

@Hikari: Hehe, I see. How was your break?

@Shinto: Ah...? Kaisus told you?

@Hikari: Of course! The guild would have been in an uproar cause of you left out of the blue!

@Shinto: Aha... Kaisus's order was quite sudden...

@Hikari: I could see that, but it was about time!

@Shinto: What do you mean about time...?

@Hikari: I mean, you needed a break!

@Shinto: ...Well, there wasn't any opportunity for me to take a break...

@Hikari: Well you have your opportunity now! So make sure to do so!

@Hikari: And don't worry about the guild, besides the constant questions we get on the forums and whispers about your sudden disappearance in the rankings, no one being able to reach you in-game, Bunnix's engagement, the somewhat depressive mood of the guild without you saying a word. We're fine!

@Shinto: What...? How is that fine... It sounds more like you are giving me a 'Hikari is going to kill me when she sees me' vibe...

@Hikari: No no! I'm just listing what happened today at the guild. With the chain of events occurring today, it was quite hectic.

@Hikari: Like your sudden disappearance in the rankings, ah speaking of which... What happened?

@Shinto: Ah... Well, something happened. You'll find out sooner or later.

@Hikari: Aww! Why not tell me now? Is it a hidden class?

@Hikari: What kind of hidden class is it? What's the rarity? What're the attributes?

@Shinto: ...Hikari

@Hikari: Hehe, you're no fun Shinto! I was only joking.

@Hikari: But it seems I hit a spot huh?

@Shinto: Ahem... I think I'll be going now. Gn!

@Hikari: Hey! Zay! Come back!

@Shinto: Nope. I'm gonna drop dead in a few more seconds, see ya tomorrow.

@Hikari: Fine -_-

@Hikari: Then have a good nights sleep then!

...

Ending the conversation with Hikari, Shinto closed the app as he laid down on his bed. Quickly he drifted off to sleep.
