YMMV / +99 Reinforced Wooden Stick

• Tear Jerker: For a Webtoon that has all kind of slapstick, meme-worthy faces, and hilarious moments - you are not ready for this Mood Whiplash. The kind mute child that Ji-u met in the beginning and gave him the Wooden Stick, returns for Chapter 34. In gratitude, Ji-u wants to bestow upon her all the Transcendental weapons he's acquired through fighting and defeating the God of the Master Class. She refuses, instead giving him an address in the real world. He follows, leading him to a hospital. They finally meet in person to reveal she's an inpatient, dying from a terminal illness and only has weeks to live. Before diagnosed she was the kindest least successful Merchant player in Chrono Life, who gave away items at a discount to struggling players and was Loved by All. One day she stopped logging in, and eventually players stopped looking for her. Ji-u learns the girl's life maybe saved if she has surgery, but the success rate is only 30%, and she'll still have to live with the incurable disease. She cries her eyes out fearful if she dies on the operating bed, no one will remember her. Ji-u wants to prove her wrong, but knows that's a lie - everyone has forgotten about her. He later arranges that every gamer meet her in hospital, to thank her for being the heart and soul of Chrono Life, and show she's not alone. This is heartbreakingly Based on a True Story, where Ragnarok Online player "Starlight Flower" (also known as moonlight flower girl) died at the age of 17 from her illness, and the devs made her character into a permanent NPC blacksmith in the game in memory of her.
