Chapter 5 – Blocked

&R;&e;​a&d;​ ó​n &K;a​tReäd̀​iｎ&g;Ｃ​afe

As soon as I logged into LEORE, I went straight to the store in the menu.

It’s a slightly different store than other RPG games. As far as I remember, LEORE doesn’t sell items that greatly affect stats.

That’s because this game itself is a monthly subscription. Is it 50,000 won a month? It’s quite an expensive amount, but considering LEORE, which is the best-made game in the virtual world, I think it’s cheap enough.

Anyway, I was checking how much my mother had put in, but something was wrong with the numbers.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand… one hundred million…?

I kept checking, but the number in front of me was one hundred million.

Even though my family is well-off, are they giving me, a child, one hundred million to play games? Thank you, Mother.

I didn’t have anything I wanted to buy right now, so I closed the store and opened my information in the menu.

“Hehe.”

Level 10 is proudly displayed. I leveled up 5 levels at once while catching the Orc Chieftain Field Boss.

You might say, “How can you level up 5 levels at once?” but levels aren’t that important in LEORE.

It’s important to get equipment after reaching the max level, so I know that LEORE is quite lenient when it comes to leveling up.

Anyway, what I have to do now is decide what my first job will be. Of course, there are no restrictions between jobs, but since you have to get equipment separately, you could say your first job is important.

First of all, it’s confirmed that I’ll be on the front line.

I could still feel the taste of Parrying at my fingertips, so the hand feel was considerable. The cheerful sound and pretty impact as the forces collided, and the heaviness and vibration felt in my hands.

Now that I know this, close combat is confirmed.

Then, the only thing left is the type of weapon. There are many options, such as one-handed sword, greatsword, dagger, dual swords, etc.

“Well, I started with a one-handed sword, so should I stick with that?”

As soon as I returned to the village, I changed my job to Knight, which is the most basic job, and cleared all the quests I could see around me.

Side quests in RPG games were just meaningless time-wasting quests, but is it because it’s a virtual world game?

It was quite fun to clear side quests, as if I had become the protagonist of a short film.

When I finished all the quests in the starting village, I was already level 20.

I caught all kinds of monsters around the starting village. It was definitely fun to catch ordinary monsters, but it wasn’t as good as the fight with the Orc Chieftain.

Now, ordinary monsters are trivial.

When I looked around, almost everyone had disappeared. When I checked the time, it was already 4 a.m.

It’s definitely time for everyone to sleep. But I’m different.

This body is using an Endoflife terminal, which is so rare that it can be counted on the fingers of one hand in the whole world.

There’s no problem even if I connect 24 hours a day.

Currently, the max level in LEORE is level 60. Raids also start at level 60. I was going to level up slowly, but the battle with the Orc Chieftain set me on fire.

The desire to go on a Raid quickly.

My goal now is to reach level 60.

==

That day, a video was uploaded to the Leore Gallery.

The video showed a young girl clearing the Field Boss Orc Chieftain, which you have to Raid.

But the number of people clearing the Field Boss was strange. Usually, the minimum number of people to Raid a Field Boss is 10, and the video of the Orc Chieftain being cleared with the fewest number of people was 6.

However, the number of people Raiding the Orc Chieftain in the video was only one.

(Video)

A Middle School Girl solo cleared the Orc Chieftain that came out on streamer Kang Hangil’s broadcast ㄷㄷ

[??? Is it something that happened on a live broadcast?]

[Is this possible? Was it even possible to Parry the Orc Chieftain’s attack in the first place?]

ㄴ[It’s possible to Parry with a minimum of 2 people, but I’ve never seen anyone do it alone;;]

[Isn’t it a lie? Is that possible? Isn’t it a hack?]

ㄴ[Is there even a hack in Leore in the first place?]

ㄴ[There’s modification, right?]

ㄴ[Ah, illegal modification of the terminal?]

[Doesn’t illegal modification put a strain on the brain?]

ㄴ[That’s why they can do things like that]

ㄴ[ㅇㅎ]

Even those who have been playing Leore for a long time do Parrying with at least two people when Raiding, and even then, they receive a buff.

But to Parry such a Boss attack alone? It’s something that hasn’t happened in Leore until now.

Is it because it’s a newly revived body? I didn’t feel tired at all.

It’s been about 16 hours since I started Leore after my parents left, but I don’t feel any fatigue at all.

But in order to play the game for a long time, even if you don’t feel tired, adequate rest is essential.

I opened the menu and immediately pressed the logout button.

The pure white space returned again.

When I thought about it, I didn’t know how to take off the terminal by myself. I don’t have arms or legs.

Moreover, at this time, there was a high probability that Older Sister was sleeping.

I was thinking hard about what to do, but maybe it was because I was just standing there doing nothing, but I felt a little sleepy.

I couldn’t resist the sleepiness and closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a pure white space.

When I checked the time, 8 hours had passed.

‘I could sleep in the virtual world.’

[Are you awake, Arang?]

When I heard Anna’s voice, a screen naturally appeared in the pure white space, and the inside of the hospital room came into view.

“Yeah. I’m awake.”

Unlike in reality, my mouth opened as I thought. Is it because it’s a virtual world? This is no different from being a complete Hikikomori.

[Uh… Arang… Uh, yeah. Was there anything uncomfortable while you were sleeping?]

“Yeah. I slept well. Did, did Unnie sleep well?”

Now, I naturally called Anna “Unnie” and spoke.

[Yeah! Unnie slept well too!]

Anna, looking at the camera attached to the terminal with a bright face.

If Arang hadn’t gotten sick and had eaten well and grown up well, wouldn’t she look like that?

Anna, with her neat ponytail and suit, didn’t show the cold charisma she had when I first saw her, and was just a pure white woman.

“What are you doing today, Unnie?”

[Unnie has to go to work today too… I don’t want to go~.]

She stretched out her hand to the bed I was lying on and stroked my stomach.

Anna’s stroking felt on my stomach. Maybe it’s because I hadn’t logged into the game yet, but the sensations were transmitted.

“Can’t you not go?”

[Yeah… I have to go to work for Arang…]

Anna got up awkwardly, kissed my stomach, said goodbye, and left, and I immediately logged into Leore.

I had decided to move on to the next village since I had cleared all the quests in the starting village.

‘Hmm?’

But there were a lot more people in the starting village than usual.

‘Is there an event today?’

It had nothing to do with me, so I was just about to move on to the next village when.

“Huh?”

A man pointed at me with his finger and made a dumbfounded sound.

Do I know him? But I don’t know that man in my memory. I was just about to ignore him and go my way when, starting with that man, everyone around me started looking at me.

Everyone in this square was looking at me.

‘What’s going on?’

I suddenly felt like I had become an animal in a zoo.

‘Is it because I look young?’

Leore is a virtual reality game, so it’s for ages 15 and up. The problem is that my current appearance is hard to see as 15 years old, no matter how high I rate it. That’s because I haven’t grown taller because I’ve been lying down for a long time.

‘I don’t feel good.’

I was about to move quickly to get out of people’s sight when.

“Hey, you trash, play the game fair and square.”

Someone said something bad. I don’t know who he said it to, but it seems like a fight broke out.

It’s a fight that has nothing to do with me, so I was quickly squeezing through the crowd when someone put their hand on my shoulder.

“Hmm?”

I naturally removed the hand on my shoulder and was about to go again when.

“Where are you going? You have to listen when I talk.”

The man put his hand on my shoulder again.

“…Me?”

“Yeah, you.”

“You’re a strange person.”

I turned my head, checked the nickname above the man’s head, and immediately clicked on the nickname and blocked him.

Ting.

In Leore, if you block a player, you can’t contact them, their appearance is mosaiced, and you can’t hear what they say. What a convenient system.

I ignored the people looking at me and ran off, looking forward to the next village.

But why are people looking at me?

The Middle School Girl who cleared it alone, who everyone was waiting for, finally logged in.

The nickname seems to be her real name. Everyone be careful.

[Lee Arang, what is that, is it really her real name?]

ㄴ[Who sets their nickname as their real nameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Wow, she’s so cute?]

ㄴ[Look at her elbows and knees, there’s a boundary line, it’s obvious that she changed her appearance, idiot]

ㄴ[Ah, that’s true. In the first place, someone who illegally modifies their appearance wouldn’t do it in their original formㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Does that still mean she’s a woman?]

ㄴ[Are you crazy, do you just need a hole?]

[People who are doing it in their original form now are streamers]
