So you know how you have some experiences that you never forget and help you grow? I came across such a similar experience in BDO when I started the game. My friends bought the game a month before me and were quite well into it when we came across this incident while I was just a newbie. I guess I would just narrate the experience as a story! Hehe... (Picture below the story)

Once upon a time, not long ago (02 February, 2020), a guild was created. It was no ordinary guild but was a union of real friends to create a virtual community and to praise the almighty Ricardo. One day (23 February, 2020) a lost sould called LeMeSoCool joined the game in search of solace and a place to hide from the deadly plague of COVID spreading in the real world. A few days later the guild found a new member who was not so new in their hearts. Set out to conquer the Black Desert world, a few friends united in search of bigger treasures hidden in the secrecy of the land. Travelling far and wide, killing monsters and acquiring more power, they believed now they were strong enough to defeat any boss that they will come across. One of the friend suggested to kill Muskan for the guild adventure so everyone agreed. Weapons out, potions stacked and hearts filled with valor, those seven adventurers went to defeat who they thought was the mightiest but little did they know what fate had in wait for them. The monster was summoned, war crys were umm.. well cried! :D Five minutes passed and the friends did not falter. Fifteen minutes passed and strategies were altered believing that the health bar was going down for the monster and they were winning. The new one was weak but knew how to heal so she healed and healed, till she had no mana strength left. But unfortunately the lack of knowledge on the monster fooled everyone and twenty-five minutes later they started realising that they weren't a match for this monster. Either he was far too over-powered or they were too weak.

The guild members went back defeated but the leader did not let them lose hope. He told everyone to "git gud" and return when they were stronger. Together they worked harder, mission after mission, mob after mob until they felt they could take on Muskan again. So they did! A few months later from the first encounter, they went back to the same place feeling quite motivated. This time though they did not lose. I mean it did take them a while to kill it but slow victory was better than defeat. The little one was stronger too but she stood beside her guild leader (and real life one of the best friends) and attacked and healed from afar (mostly because she was ranged). Happy with the triumph the guild threw a party in the throne room for themselves but did not stop at that point.

Together with the guild leader always by their side, they always worked harder to become stronger and wiser and today, the little one visited with her friends and realised how long they had come. Knowing that her friends were always beside her on these adventures and laughing at how foolish they were to believe they were the strongest in the game back then, brought a tiny tear of joy to her eyes. Jumping and laughing, dancing with joy the not-so-new-one went off to party with her old friends and the new ones she acquired, being proud of everyone who had come so far!

The picture is the throne room for Muskan guild boss fight. The witch is me while the mystic is my friend and guild leader of Ricardos:

This other picture is what we would always take whenever we would go to have a Muskan boss fight. First one is from the start of the story while second one is from the other half of the story!
