Chapter 131

Suddenly, Pinkubelly Ihayan, who was editing Arang’s video, entered Arang’s fan cafe due to an alarm that went off.

“Huh?”

Author – Arang – Cafe Manager

Lately, there’s someone who’s been making me angry.

What should I do?

Startled by Arang’s post, Ihayan immediately picked up her phone and called Arang.

Ringgg~

[Sis? What’s up?]

“Arang, what’s with the post on the cafe? Is something wrong? Did you meet that person?”

[Huh? Oh… it’s just that I’ve been playing Monster Hunter, and the multiplayer people keep making me mad.]

“Really? Do you want me to help? Should we play Monster Hunter together?”

[Umm. No, it’s okay. I’m just playing solo for now, so it’s fine.]

“Really? That’s good. If you need help, just let me know. And how’s your body doing?”

[Yeah. I’m really healthy now. Thanks for worrying, sis. What are you up to now?]

“I was just editing a cute video of Arang.”

[Really? Thanks as always!]

“Thanks? Even though Arang won’t take any of the profits I share with her…”

[Hehe. I’m gonna go get a massage!]

“Alright. Enjoy your massage.”

[Okay!]

Click.

“Thank goodness. Arang hasn’t seen that Chicken Without Legs yet. Wait a minute…”

Ihayan, relieved that Arang was feeling okay and didn’t know about Chicken Without Legs, sighed in relief but then started thinking about something.

“Arang started playing Monster Hunter, and then Chicken Without Legs appeared…”

Despite suffering from an incurable disease that led to the amputation of her limbs and a long battle with mental illness, Arang overcame everything and stood strong.

Arang wasn’t ashamed, disgusted, or sad about not having limbs.

She had no aversion to letting others know about her condition.

“Surely… Arang isn’t Chicken Without Legs…?”

Even so, it’s hard to believe that Arang would go as far as using a nickname like Chicken Without Legs, which directly references her own condition…

“Arang has been through a lot mentally…”

After her seizure, there were suspicions of multiple personalities, and she’s been undergoing counseling and treatment…

“Ah… surely… it can’t be that bad…?”

She kept playing Monster Hunter consistently.

For four days, she played Monster Hunter solo and had a lot of fun.

Occasionally, when she couldn’t handle something alone or got tired of grinding, she would call Jindaru, who wasn’t streaming, to play together.

She became quite close with Jindaru.

Even though he had a female body and voice, since he was a man inside, it was easy and quick to become friends.

She wanted to keep playing Monster Hunter for a while, but today was a day for Leore.

Because she had to do the hunt that made her start streaming.

She had to do it once a week.

Even though she had already received all the equipment rewards, she kept doing it to get additional pets like Morpho.

After a week, she logged into Leore, and soon after, someone burst into the guild house.

“Huh?”

Since this was her guild house, only guild members or people she allowed could enter.

Meaning it had to be a friend, and with her insane reflexes, she immediately recognized who it was.

It was Reina, with looks that could rival foreign models and overwhelming charisma.

But while she always showed great charisma to the party members, to me, she was like a puppy.

Now, with an expression like she wanted to eat me alive, she rushed at me.

“Arang!!!”

Reina grabbed me and lifted me up.

“…”

Reina stared at me.

I was slightly scared by her serious face, which I had never seen before.

‘Is this the charisma of the strongest raid leader in Leore, Mea’d?’

It was the first time I felt scared of a woman.

Reina was glaring at me so intensely that, although it was sudden, I felt like she resembled a Doberman.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to compare a person to a dog, but that’s what I thought in that moment.

When she’s with me, she’s a goofy sister, but when leading a raid, she’s overflowing with charisma like no one else.

Pinku unnie is like a Retriever, and Reina unnie is like a Doberman.

Reina unnie kept staring at me, and I was a bit scared, so I tried to avoid her gaze, but she moved her head to follow my eyes.

Normally, by now, her expression would be goofy, and she’d be rubbing against me like a blanket, but she kept holding me in the air and staring into my eyes.

I had never seen Reina this angry before.

Even though she leads the strongest Mea’d raid, I had never seen her this angry.

Even when someone kept trolling or when a raid member messed up and had to be kicked, I had never seen her this angry…

From Reina’s reaction, it seemed like she was angry because of me… Did I do something to make Reina angry?

Nothing happened recently… did it…? Wait… actually, a lot happened…

“Ah…!”

Memories before playing Monster Hunter came back, and I realized what I had forgotten before starting Monster Hunter.

‘I completely forgot to check in with Reina…!’

Thinking about it, I only left a message in our guild chat saying I was okay, but I forgot to do so in the alliance raid chat.

Rumors spread that I had died, and after my last stream, I told the guild members I was fine, but I forgot about the alliance raid chat where Reina was.

At that time, guild members came over, we had a gathering, and with my period, my emotions were all over the place, so I must have forgotten.

‘Even I would be angry…’

“Sorry, unnie.”

Given the recent events, I immediately apologized.

It was a point that even I would be angry about.

“Won’t do it again?”

“Yeah.”

“Any pain?”

“None. My period’s over now.”

“Really? Wasn’t it too hard?”

“Yeah. I’m fine.”

“Good. That’s all that matters.”

Reina hugged me tightly and then put me down.

I thought the issues I caused were over, but then Emma, Echo, and Vision came in, and I had to apologize again.

Emma, who already knew my real-life situation, just patted my head, but Echo and Vision seemed quite shocked.

Last week, we were just friends playing games together, laughing, joking, and teasing, but Echo and Vision’s behavior changed.

They seemed hesitant to approach me, as if they were worried I might break.

‘Hmm… this is actually a normal reaction.’

If I found out that a friend I played games with was actually a 15-year-old girl suffering from an incurable disease and had her limbs amputated, I’d feel pity too.

But I’m not just a pitiful person without limbs.

I’m Arang, the youngest child of one of the wealthiest parents not just in Korea but worldwide, owning one of only five top-tier virtual world access devices globally, and using an entire building of Korea’s best hospital.

Wow…

Thinking about my situation again, it’s… kind of overwhelming…

I get 100 million won in allowance, have a dedicated doctor taking care of me, and even though I don’t have limbs… I don’t deserve pity.

Honestly, between my past self and current Arang.

If I had to choose, I’d choose current Arang in a heartbeat.

I mean, I can play virtual world games…!?

I still get excited thinking about the first time I killed a goblin in Leore, the 1v1 with the field boss orc, the 1v1 Makkora mechanic during the WFK, and now Monster Hunter.

Just thinking about Leore and Monster Hunter makes my heart race, and I want to play right away.

I don’t know how my parents made it, but it’s so realistic that it’s hard to distinguish from reality.

Now I understand why there’s a time limit on the access device and a forced logout function.

If there were no access restrictions and I played like I used to, I might have died from playing too much, it’s that addictive.

It’s not just playing a game; it’s like transferring to another world and living there.

Like in novels or comics.

Echo and Vision’s attitude towards me.

I don’t like it.

Last week, they would have patted my head or playfully hit me, but now they’re not touching or interacting with me, and it’s obvious they’re struggling with how to greet me.

“Uh… hi.”

Ugh, awkward tone.

Seeing Echo and Vision acting like a couple who broke up, I sighed.

“Just act like before.”

“Haha… it’s not that easy…”

I get it. But seeing them struggle so obviously with how to treat me is a bit annoying.

I mean, the person in question is fine!

I’m fine playing in the virtual world! No problems living! Getting healthier!

Hey!

I’m fine!
