In Leore, there are a lot of guild-related content.
Of course, both PVE and PVP are available, along with various life activities and more.
Among them, the content that people play the most is, naturally, PVE and PVP.
In PVE, you can hunt guild raid bosses to earn guild points, and in PVP guild battles, you can also earn guild points.
What can you do with guild points? You can use them to buy various potions, doping materials, and even materials needed to craft equipment at the guild shop.
So, to fully enjoy Leore, I decided to create a guild.
I went to the guild NPC in the big city with Pinkubelly and Sunchoo to create a guild.
Creating a guild requires about 100,000 gold, which Pinkubelly and Sunchoo agreed to chip in for.
Standing in front of the guild NPC, I talked to them, and the NPC handed me a piece of paper.
It had all the necessary details for creating a guild, but one big problem arose.
What should we name the guild?
“Arang! Do you have a guild name in mind?”
“Hmm… I haven’t thought about it at all…”
I fell into deep thought at Sunchoo’s question. Whenever I have to come up with a name, starting from a nickname, my head starts to hurt.
I don’t want something ordinary, but it has to stand out to others, be cool, and not cringy. But coming up with such a name is really hard.
“If you haven’t thought of anything, why don’t we brainstorm together?”
“That sounds like a good idea.”
“How about four characters? Something that feels like a proverb, or maybe something that represents Arang as the guild name. As long as it’s not too weird, it should be fine, right?”
“A word that represents me… Hmm… ‘Limb Amputation’? Is that a bit too much? Does it give off a bad vibe?”
I scratched my head and looked at Pinkubelly and Sunchoo. Their eyes were filled with pity as they looked at me.
“Let’s think of another guild name. Yeah.”
“Yeah, let’s do that, Arang. This one doesn’t seem right.”
I nodded at their immediate criticism and accepted their opinion.
Was it really that shocking of a name?
Well, in a fantasy RPG game, a guild named ‘Limb Amputation’… People might think it’s a bad guild.
“Arang Arang is much better.”
“How about a food name, or something Arang likes, like a character name from a manga or something?”
“This is tough. Is there a word that represents Arang? People all call me ‘Middle School 2nd Year Arang,’ but that doesn’t seem right.”
“First of all, I don’t even go to middle school, so ‘Middle School 2nd Year Arang’ doesn’t make sense.”
I don’t get why they call me a middle schooler just because of my armor. Well, it’s not just the armor, but also the boundaries on my limbs that make me look like a concept character.
But since the armor is part of the reason, it makes me a little angry.
‘Should I wear a different costume…?’
I pondered over the guild name while fiddling with the hilt of my sword.
A word that symbolizes me. I’m a 15-year-old young girl. Plus, due to my illness, I haven’t grown properly, and my limbs are short because of it.
Well, not exactly short, but stubby.
While thinking about something as short, cute, and pretty as me, I suddenly thought of one thing.
Munchkin Cat.
I immediately wrote it down on the form and submitted it.
Ding.
The guild was created without any duplicates.
I turned my head to look at Pinkubelly and Sunchoo.

The guild name looked cuter than I expected.
“Huh? The guild name is cuter than I thought! I like it!”
“It’s much better than ‘Limb Amputation.’ Munchkin Cat is pretty and cute, just like Arang.”
“Right? Munchkin Cat guild. I like it too.”
Even though the guild name came to me suddenly, it’s cute and suits me well.
With the guild created, I now had to decide how to set it up. First, I set the guild joining condition to require approval from me, Pinkubelly, and Sunchoo.
Next was the guild emblem.
To match the guild name, Munchkin Cat, I chose a picture of a Munchkin Cat with a chubby face and added it.
The cute Munchkin Cat face filled the square guild emblem on the left side of the guild name, making it look really adorable.
“Hmm~”
“Arang. How are you going to grow the guild?”
“First, I want to gather people who can run raids together. I want to brainstorm, try challenges, and feel a sense of achievement together!”
“Then we’ll need to recruit people who are at a certain level, right?”
“Yeah, they should at least be able to pull their weight to clear raids.”
First, I needed to check if they were decent people, so I went to the gallery and checked the incident board to see if they were blacklisted. Then, I checked their game performance through Leore logs.
Some might ask why I’m being so strict about recruiting guild members, but guilds can fall apart over the smallest reasons, so it’s important to start with good people.
Having played many RPGs, I’ve seen so many guilds fall apart, so I need to be thorough from the start.
Of course, I’m not only recruiting people who deal insane damage.
As long as they’re in the top 50% of DPS, they’re good enough. Even if we only had top-tier DPS, we wouldn’t fail raids due to lack of damage. So, as long as they can pull their weight, it’s fine.
“How should we recruit guild members? Should we make a promotional poster?”
I want at least enough members for an 8-person raid. Including Uncle Kang Hangeul, the Arang Arang group has 4 members.
So, we need at least 4 more guild members.
“I’m really good at making promotional materials, by the way.”
The key to a good promotional material is grabbing people’s attention and focus.
In that regard, I remember one legendary PowerPoint presentation.

Ihayan checked her phone when a notification popped up. It was from the Arang Arang group chat.
Arang had finished the guild promotional material and posted it in the chat.
But…
“…Huh?”
The result was utterly disastrous.
The background was filled with flashing rainbow colors, and there was a cute blue otter? Or maybe a sea otter? A character I’ve never seen before was placed there.
Because of that, the guild promotion text was barely visible.
In short, it was chaos, destruction, and oblivion.
Ihayan sighed.
Arang had been so confident, saying she was really good at making these, so I trusted her and let her handle it.
But the result in front of me now…
It was a horrifying sight I’d never seen in my life.
Ihayan immediately asked in the chat if she had already promoted it.
Ding.
Arang replied that she had already posted it in the gallery. Ihayan sighed and covered her face with her hands.

As expected, the guild promotional material I made had a huge impact.
Not long after posting the promotional material, guild applications started pouring in like crazy.
Pinkubelly and Sunchoo were standing next to me with expressions of disbelief.
“People are really going to join after seeing this?”
“Arang’s name must carry a lot of weight, huh, sis?”
What’s with everyone’s reactions?
This isn’t because of me, but because people were moved by my guild promotional material.
Sure, the readability of the important text in the promotional material is low, but the most important thing in promotion is attention and focus.
People who are really interested in joining our guild will read through even this poorly readable text and join.
That’s what I think.
