Chapter 159

“Damn, damn, damn, damn!”

Gamha-View couldn’t hold back his anger when he saw the Leore gallery, which had no mention of Pinkubelly at all.

Currently, the Leore gallery was filled with nothing but conquest battles, Arang, and stories of limb amputation.

“F*ck.”

Everything was taken away.

The capsules confiscated during the company raid were revealed to be drugs, and his house was automatically searched, leaving him with no drugs left.

His hands were shaking, and his head was pounding, but there was nothing he could do.

Although he managed to avoid being detained by hiring skilled lawyers, he was on the verge of going to jail.

Right now, there were people outside his house keeping an eye on him.

He needed to flee abroad immediately, but an exit ban had already been issued, and all he could do was wait at home until it was time to go to jail.

His house no longer looked like a place where a normal person lived.

Withdrawal symptoms were getting worse, and there was nothing he could do. News articles about his company were already circulating, and the companies he had contracts with were raising various issues due to this incident, dragging him further into the abyss.

“These crazy b*tches…”

The woman he had personally beheaded appeared before him, neatly dressed in a suit, and he wanted to push her down and assault her because she was so attractive.

But soon after, he realized that she was the one who had brought him to this state.

He was furious that a woman dared to do this to him, but he couldn’t do anything in the face of overwhelming power.

“F*ck, is it okay for the police and prosecutors to bow down to a single company like this?”

Gamha-View couldn’t remember his past actions and, faced with the same treatment, could only throw things around the house in anger.

“I can’t end like this. I can’t die alone. Hehehe…”

He was abandoned. With the other side targeting him fiercely, he had to face it alone, as his friends and their parents had cut ties with him.

Gamha-View turned on his cracked phone, which seemed to symbolize his current situation, and checked the data he had collected on his friends, smiling as he laughed loudly.

“Let’s go to hell together.”

The largest war in Leore, the ‘Princess War’.

The war between the [Evolution] alliance, aiming to take Arang, and the [Munchkin Cat] alliance, aiming to protect her, attracted many users who just wanted to fight, regardless of the alliances.

The war provided users with more than just satisfaction—it was incredibly fun.

Everyone was satisfied and happy, and there was even a big event at the end.

Everyone was looking forward to the 1 vs 1 duel between pro player Kim Gi-hyung and Arang.

Kim Gi-hyung, the Korean representative who was the best at PVP in Leore this year.

Arang, who suddenly appeared and achieved WFK, excelling in PVE.

Everyone was excited about their fight.

The first few minutes of the fight were a visual feast.

Arang, overcoming physical and combat experience differences with pure skill, faced Kim Gi-hyung, who didn’t let his guard down against the 15-year-old girl and used every advantage to dominate her.

Parrying? Kim Gi-hyung had already thought of everything and was on the verge of victory when Arang’s limb amputation skill suddenly changed the situation.

Users watching were shocked as Arang freely removed and reattached her limbs.

Kim Gi-hyung, who had competed in numerous tournaments and met the real Arang in event tournaments, had a solid mentality and rarely panicked, but he couldn’t help but be stunned by Arang’s antics.

And in the end, he lost to Arang again.

Many users witnessed the scene, but no one doubted or criticized Kim Gi-hyung’s skills.

No, they couldn’t.

It was a playstyle no one had ever seen in Leore, and even Kim Gi-hyung himself was stunned by Arang.

And then, the real Arang suddenly appeared in Leore.

For a moment, everything except her right arm disappeared.

Arang’s small stature and the sight of her missing limbs made it impossible for anyone with a normal personality to even think of attacking her.

Anyone who attacked Arang in that state would immediately be labeled as human trash.

After the war, Sunchoo, Baedeokgae, and Reina had to endure a lot of nagging.

Even though she had beaten Kim Gi-hyung, no one cheered or congratulated her, which made her a little upset. Instead of praise, they said it was too dangerous and that she should have warned them beforehand. Hearing all this nagging made her feel so bad that she just logged out of Leore.

If it were the old her, she would have let it slide, but now she was a 15-year-old girl at her most sensitive.

As soon as she entered her virtual world room, everyone was surprised that she had logged out without a word, and her notifications kept ringing, but she ignored them and lay down on the bed.

‘This is why I should just check the fan cafe and gallery.’

-Has anyone tried the skill Arang used?

-Can Arang’s skill be blocked?

-The relationship between Kim Gi-hyung and Arang

-World Tournament schedule tomorrow

-War results

-Soma parrying

-Arang’s battle scenes

As expected, most of the posts were about her fight.

-Did anyone get Arang’s limbs?

-Did anyone get food?

-Arang, where did our cooking go!

-I want limbs too!

‘Oh right, I forgot to distribute the food after the conquest battle. I’ll do it tomorrow.’

Among the flood of posts about the conquest battle, the hottest one was -Can Arang’s skill be blocked?-

I was curious about that too.

Of course, it needs to be blocked.

But this skill wasn’t using Leore’s system—it was using the access device’s system.

What Arang did in Leore was like pressing the F5 key like crazy on an old computer to cause lag, and the disappearing limbs were part of the access device’s system.

‘I wonder. To block this, we’d need to talk to Mars, the company my parents run…’

Can’t we block it…?

Thinking about it, it’s a system made for the safety of access device users. Can we even touch it?

Ah, whatever. Leore’s company will handle it.

I’ll just keep using this OP skill until it gets blocked.

While browsing through the gallery and fan cafe for posts praising me, I heard someone calling me from outside.

It was Anna.

Anna, who came to see me after three days.

I immediately logged out of the access device.

“Arang, have you been well?”

As soon as I appeared on the access device, Anna hugged me and spoke. I nodded and said,

“Yeah. How’s your work going, unnie?”

“Of course it’s going well. Who do you think I am!”

Hearing Anna unnie speak as if it were nothing, I felt better thinking about Gamha-View, who must be suffering right now.

Living in this world for almost half a year, I realized how influential Mars, the company my parents founded, was globally.

Before, I just thought of it as a company that made old console games, but now I understand that Mars is the biggest company in the world. I realized I wasn’t just born with a silver spoon—it was a diamond spoon.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll live like a spoiled brat. Well, I can’t live like that anyway since I don’t have limbs.

“How’s Hayaan unnie?”

“She’s washing her hands right now.”

Recently, for Hayaan unnie’s safety, we’ve been living together in this hospital building.

My hospital room is too sterile for us to share, so I’m staying in the same room as Anna unnie.

Anna unnie patted my back and said,

“I brought your favorite dessert today.”

“Oh, something sweet!?”

“Yeah. But you have to exercise hard and sweat with the doctor before eating it!”

I smiled at Anna unnie’s words, but it quickly disappeared.

Exercise. I do it every day, but I hate it every day!

When I first started exercising, I thought I just had to do my best, but after experiencing seizures and other issues, my mental age seems to have changed like Arang’s. I cry during my period, crave sweet desserts, and hate exercising.

I think I might be going through a bit of a middle school phase, but even though I know it, I still act emotionally if I let my guard down.

Especially exercise, it makes me too aware of my real-life appearance, which is a bit tough.

Without limbs, I have to wiggle like a caterpillar, and during my period, I turn into a ketchup bottle. It makes me want to stay connected to the access device 24/7 like before.

But that’s not the right way, and I know that living like that would make my health so bad that I wouldn’t be able to play games for long, so I exercise hard.

In a world with virtual reality, I need to live healthily for a long time to enjoy virtual reality games.

Games like Leore and Monster Hunter, which have been out for two years, are this fun. How amazing must the latest games be?

So, I’ll exercise hard today too.

I thought.

“Ugh… Huff…”

Exercising with Arang’s body, which has no muscles, is really tough.

Of course, that’s why I’m exercising in the first place.
