I, Mephisto, the most beautiful and frail BOSS in gaming history, am freaking out right now.
Because a horde of players has blockaded the entrance to my library, hoping to kill me for the rewards!
Wait, this quest seems to have a bug...?
So, just as the players raised their swords, I stumbled forward helplessly: “Ouch!”
[Ding! Hidden quest triggered: Help the injured librarian!]
All the players were stunned.
From then on, everything went completely off the rails. I became the “wife NPC” of every player on the server. They stopped fighting monsters and leveling up, and spent every day around me asking, “Wifey, is there anything you need us to do today?”
They turned my “Come chat with me” quest into the “First Aincrad Era Stand-Up Comedy Competition.”
Later, the Succubus Queen, the Empress of the Empire, and the Elven Saint all came looking for me, and even fought over who would get to go on a date with me first.
Looking at the chaotic love triangle before me and the fanatical players, all I want to say is: Get a grip! I'm just a programmer trying to use a bug to stay alive!
