Ch. 2 Goblin Hunting
by AfuhfuihgsChapter 2 – Goblin Hunting
Many doctors came in, followed by a series of uninteresting examinations.
Lee Anna Older Sister was watching me, tears streaming down her face, next to the doctors.
The doctors took turns taking my blood, shining lights in my eyes, taking my blood pressure, and performing various other tests.
After the tedious examination was over, the doctors continued their explanation to Older Sister, and she nodded with a serious expression.
When all the doctors left, Anna Older Sister approached me.
“Arang, are you okay…?”
Older Sister asked me as slowly as possible. Are you okay?
I’m okay. Am I okay? I don’t know. I inherited all of Arang’s memories and emotions, but the real Arang is dead.
“Arang…?”
Seeing Older Sister about to cry again, I hurriedly opened my mouth.
“…Yeah.”
Arang’s emotions remaining in my head were hoping that Older Sister wouldn’t be sad.
“Arang…! I, I’m glad. I’m so, so glad…”
Anna Older Sister hugged me and shed tears. Even if I’m a young girl, how can she hug me so easily? Is Older Sister that strong? The moment I thought that,
I realized again that I have no arms or legs.
‘Well, if you don’t have arms and legs, your weight is almost cut in half.’
On top of that, I’ve been lying in bed for a long time and my mind is dead, so my body is emaciated, so my actual weight is probably less than 20kg.
Perhaps my thoughts were too long, Anna Older Sister put me down and said in a fluster.
“D, do you want to play games? Should we do it right away?”
Ah, is it because I’m not reacting at all? If it were the original me, I would have reacted somehow, but is it because I merged with Arang, or is it because I haven’t spoken for a long time, it was somehow difficult to speak.
“…No.”
After Older Sister calmed down, the first thing she did was communicate.
First of all, Arang’s memories and emotions came in, so I was able to talk to Older Sister naturally.
To the extent that I recognize Anna Older Sister as my Older Sister. It’s not quite sticking to my tongue yet, but I think time will solve it.
Anyway, while talking to Older Sister, I properly confirmed my memories.
Arang seems to have received a lot of love from her family. A wealthy family, a harmonious family, and everyone is a good person.
Arang, who had been living a happy life under such a family.
“Thank you. Arang. For getting up again.”
“…Yeah.”
“Mom and Dad are coming now, but it looks like it’ll take some time.”
“Ah…”
“Then do you want to play games?”
“…Yeah.”
I turned my head and looked at the huge machine on my bed.
I originally thought that virtual reality connectors were simply like chokers, but what’s on my bed now is a huge refrigerator-like size.
If I trace back my memories, this connector is said to be one of only five in the world. A connector also known as the Deathbed Machine.
It blocks the nerves in the neck so that you don’t feel pain, and even if there’s something wrong with your body, you can act like a normal person in virtual reality like me.
This connector, which can be said to be the culmination of the best technologies in the world today, was obtained solely for Arang.
Anna Unnie, no, Older Sister carefully laid me down and put a machine like an eye massager connected to the connector on me. And she also put a choker-type machine, which is the same as the original connector, on my neck.
The jet-black vision soon turned into a pure white space.
I thought I would go straight into the game, but a pure white space greeted me. I was wondering what this was when a hologram appeared in front of me and I saw countless game titles.
Legacy of Raid, which was at the very top, was listed as the most recently played.
I immediately pressed the Legacy of Raid title to run it.
Before long, I returned to the plaza where I first regained consciousness.
I quickly ran to the plains I had gone to earlier. It’s amazing. It’s definitely a virtual world, but I get out of breath every time my stamina decreases. Do they implement even this?
When my stamina reaches its limit, my body now vibrates. As if I can’t move any further here.
I stopped when my stamina reached its limit.
‘Huh?’
When I held my breath without breathing while staying still, my stamina didn’t fill up.
“Puhwa!”
I exhaled and took the most comfortable posture a person could take to catch my breath, and my stamina filled up.
‘Amazing.’
This situation, where I’m actually running and getting out of breath, not just clicking the keyboard and mouse, is too exciting.
I managed my stamina and arrived at the plains. There were more people hunting goblins than before.
I went to a place with relatively few people and approached a goblin that was standing alone.
Unlike before, I drew the sword that was mounted on my waist.
I run towards the goblin who is not aware of me.
The power that started from my feet rises and is transmitted to my hands. The moment I tried to swing my sword, a strange sensation dominated my body.
It felt like it was telling me which direction to go.
When I entrusted my body to that flow, the sword cut through the goblin’s upper body.
Swish!
10!
The sense of impact that started from my fingertips and was transmitted throughout my body was tremendous. Moreover, the number that appears above the goblin’s head. It was damage.
It was obviously shabby damage, but that wasn’t important right now.
Playing a level 1 goblin from the start of the game, such a simple and uninteresting play, gave a different level of fun in the virtual world.
“Kieeeek!”
The undead goblin swung a dagger at me.
Before I could even recognize it, my body reacted first and twisted my waist. An attack that missed by a hair’s breadth.
I was shocked. It was definitely a virtual world game, but I felt murderous intent.
I stopped thinking and swung my sword to kill the goblin in front of me. Again, a strange sensation dominated my body, and when I complied with it, the sword crossed the goblin’s neck.
Swish!
16!
The goblin’s head flew off and disappeared as it became particles. The damage is 50% different from before. Is it because I cut the neck, which is a vital point, instead of the upper body?
It’s fun.
The senses I’ve never felt before and the battle in a realistic situation gave me the excitement I felt when I first played a game, no, a greater excitement.
How can it be so fun to catch a level 1 goblin that comes out as soon as you start the game?
There will definitely be raids later… How fun will that raid be?

I woke up. Arang is alive.
Since when was it? When did Arang, who always made her family happy with her bright face, get sick?
Despite pouring in a lot of money, I couldn’t stop the disease, and I had no choice but to amputate Arang’s arms and legs. Otherwise, Arang would die.
The always bright Arang lost her bright spirit as she lost her arms and legs and became weak and painful, and eventually became a doll that didn’t react in any way.
Doctors from all over the world gave up, and there was no way to cure Arang.
As time passed, I learned about the virtual reality connector that Arang is using now, and I got the connector in the hope that she would regain her former self even a little.
I had her play several games, but Arang didn’t do anything at the starting point. She didn’t even move a finger.
While I was so sad, I got a call from a friend.
She said that there’s a game that she’s been enjoying lately, and asked if I wanted to try it too. When I looked up what kind of game it was, it was a very popular VRMMORPG genre game called Legacy of Raid.
Just in case, I installed the game on the connector and forcibly connected her. As expected, Arang was just standing still at the starting point.
I shook my head and went to the bathroom for a while, and something had changed.
The screen, which was just standing still in the starting plaza, had clearly changed to a plain, and the screen showed a goblin standing there, and Arang was holding a sword.
She moved. Arang is moving.
The moment I confirmed that, I hurriedly called Arang and forcibly pressed the logout button.
As soon as I released the connector, Arang turned her head and looked at me.
Arang, who hadn’t moved for several years, looked at me and then screamed and fainted.
The doctors came and examined Arang.
She wasn’t cured yet, but it was definitely a good thing that she had regained consciousness, her senses were returning, and she was reacting.
The problem is that I don’t know when and how it will get worse again.
After the doctors left, I approached Arang so that she wouldn’t be surprised and talked to her. Arang was only giving short answers like yes and no, but that alone made me so happy.
Because I was talking to Arang.
While I was talking, I realized that Arang was not focusing on the story, but was paying attention to something else, and I realized that it was a game.
Since it would take some time for my parents to arrive, I asked Arang if she wanted to play a game, and she nodded and answered yes.
And that answer was the loudest of all the words she had said so far. Of course, that voice was also very small.
When I think about it, the reason why Arang regained her mind was thanks to the game Legacy of Raid.
First of all, I thought it was a priority to let Arang continue playing the game that she was interested in before she got worse, so I put the connector on Arang.
‘I need to make it easier for Arang to play the game.’
