Monster Hunter (4)

-You don’t know Jindaru Iarang?

-You don’t know Iarang-nim?

-So who the hell is Iarang;;

-Achieved the Abyss Season WFK as the world’s best Leore user. Top meter for Soma and Assassin, beat Korea’s #1 pro in an event tournament, you don’t know the best user Iarang-nim?

“In short, she’s an incredibly amazing user, right?”

-Not just amazing. Fucking cute

-Cute?

-She’s 15, but she’s sooooo pretty and cute

-Let me search her up

“Wow… I thought all our viewers here were just hoping for Monster Hunter, but you guys know other game users too?”

-She’s not just famous ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She’s super famous

“Really?”

[Chicken Without Leg Wings] After parting ways with the newbie, the chat room continued to burn.

I’d never seen anything like this before, so I became curious about this Iarang-nim that the viewers were talking about.

“Oh… she’s super cute.”

As soon as I searched for Iarang-nim on Ryugle, a bunch of Leore screenshots popped up.

“But why is everyone angry at [Chicken Without Leg Wings]?”

-Uh… um…

-I can’t say…

-What do you mean you can’t say? You’re saying Chicken Without Leg Wings is cursing at Iarang-nim. Doesn’t that mean Iarang-nim doesn’t have arms and legs?

“Huh? Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? This girl is 15 years old.”

-…

-??? What, is that real? Is that really not a lie?

-No bullshit ㄴㄴ

“You’re not lying, are you?”

Jindaru also felt a chill at the viewers’ reactions and immediately searched for Iarang-nim on Ryugle and went to Namu Wiki.

Even a quick scan of Namu Wiki didn’t mention anything about arms and legs.

Namu Wiki has everything written down without missing anything, like marriage, divorce, and controversies, but there was nothing about Iarang-nim’s arms and legs.

“But… there are a lot of controversies?”

Hacking, illegal modification, guild member survival selection, rigidity invalidation, menstruation, arena, tournament, Morpo’s tears, alliance guild, subjugation debuff, death.

The controversy section was probably five times longer than most people’s, so I couldn’t help but wonder about this user named Iarang-nim.

-Wow, is it because she’s famous? The controversies are like ㅋㅋㅋ

-Iarang-nim does have a lot of controversies… ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That’s not the important thing. The important thing is that she’s cute.

“She’s really cute, though. She’s cuter than most child actors.”

Jindaru nodded while looking at Iarang-nim’s Leore screenshot collection.

“But Leore has low freedom for appearance customization, but doesn’t it have high freedom for face customization?”

-Iarang-nim didn’t touch her appearance or face customization at all

-It’s the same as reality

-That appearance exists in reality? No bullshit ㄴ

-We may not know anything about Leore, but that’s bullshit

-That appearance and that skill at 15 years old? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The chat room kept talking about Iarang-nim and how amazing she is, but Jindaru only plays Monster Hunter, so it didn’t really resonate with him.

==

Kwaaaaaaaa!

I automatically covered my ears at the ear-splitting roar and looked at the monster that was roaring.

The monster Ranjanap, which looks like the Tyrannosaurus Rex we know.

Back when I used to play Monster Hunter, it was called the newbie cutter.

I remember struggling quite a bit when I first caught this guy.

But I’m confident now.

I’m good enough now with my former big body and the best physical and talent in the virtual world.

That’s what I thought.

But VR Monster Hunter was so different from what I thought.

It was a different level of difficulty than the basic monster I caught first.

“Ugh!”

The end of Ranjanap’s tail touched my shoulder.

It wasn’t a direct hit, but just the end of the tail touching my shoulder caused a chunk of blood to be lost and my body flew backward.

I quickly regained my senses and got up, but by then Ranjanap’s head was already raised.

Even though its head was raised, I could still clearly see the embers in Ranjanap’s mouth.

‘I have to dodge…!’

I desperately jumped to the side, and a fire breath exploded where I had just been, and the surrounding plants burned and disappeared, emitting a hazy smoke.

“Ugh…”

The hot heat felt right next to me.

Ranjanap’s murderous intent felt in front of me.

The BGM that makes my heart pound.

I held out the greatsword in my right hand towards Ranjanap and charged again.

Kwoooooo!

Ranjanap, roaring with its mouth wide open as if it could easily swallow me, raised its head again and prepared to shoot a fire breath with embers.

Kwaang!!! A fire breath that shook not only the air but also the ground exploded, narrowly passing by the side of my head.

I slammed the greatsword down on Ranjanap’s head, which was still paused after shooting the fire breath.

Khaaaa!

Ranjanap screamed and roared, falling to the side.

“That’s right!!!”

Monsters accumulate stun values like players. When that stun value accumulates and explodes, the monster becomes groggy.

When in a groggy state, it falls down and thrashes around without being able to do anything for a short time.

And that time is enough for me to deal the best blow.

In Monster Hunter, if you ask what weapon can deal the most damage to a monster in a groggy state due to a stun, everyone will say.

A greatsword.

A greatsword with long wind-ups, long recovery times, and even charging required to attack strongly.

It doesn’t sound like a good weapon just by listening, but the greatsword has the romance of being able to see the biggest damage numbers among all weapons.

With a lot of exaggeration, the greatsword can deal the damage that other weapons deal in one minute in a single attack.

The problem is that it’s very, very difficult to succeed in that one attack.

But you can succeed in that very, very difficult attack in a monster’s stun groggy state.

I quickly ran to Ranjanap’s head, which had fallen, and raised the greatsword high.

Like Leore, Monster Hunter also uses skills designated by the system when taking certain action poses.

The moment the system designates my action as a motion, cancel with a tackle, and cancel once more.

And then a motion of pulling the greatsword back.

The only reason I’m taking these cumbersome motions right now is one thing.

The romance of the greatsword.

[True Charged Slash]

Also known as Buuung Kwang.

An attack that deals the damage that other weapons deal in one minute in a single hit.

“Uooooooo!!!”

As if drawing all the strength from deep within my body, I let out a roar and slammed the greatsword into the ground, then greatly rotated my body once, also adding the force of rotation to the greatsword, and plunged the greatsword into Ranjanap’s head.

My whole body shook, and Ranjanap screamed and convulsed greatly.

The sense of impact felt throughout my body and the damage seen in front of me was on a different level than before.

The stress that had accumulated from rolling, dodging, blocking, and doing all sorts of antics was completely blown away by a single True Charged Slash.

“Kuh!!! This is why I use the greatsword!”

After finishing off Ranjanap and completing the carving, I was about to happily return to camp to see what equipment I could make when the alarm I had set went off, beep beep.

“Ah, is it already this time?”

I had set an alarm to limit my game time in advance because it’s not good to play games for a long time because of my period.

I turned off the alarm and reluctantly ended Monster Hunter.

[Leore Gallery]

[Where did Iarang-nim go…?]

Iarang-nim hasn’t logged into Leore for 3 days…

She said she was healthy… she said she was healthy….

Has she ever not logged into Leore this much before…?

[Comment]

Iarang-nim doesn’t usually log into Leore during her magical days. She didn’t log in for a week during her magical days last month either

ㄴ Ah, really?

ㄴ Yeah, Iarang-nim said she’s resting because she’s in more pain than others.

[Is the Gallery Master really resting because of her magical days?]

You probably all know the times when the Gallery Master plays Leore.

The Gallery Master pours everything into Leore, filling up 16 hours a day.

But she’s resting for a week because of her period? We have to doubt this

There’s a 99% chance it’s not just because of her period

[Comment]

That’s right. Even my friends come back after 3 days, no matter how much pain they’re in

ㄴㅇㅇ I feel better after 3 days no matter how much pain I’m in, that’s how I am

Iarang-nim said she’s healthy, but can we trust that? Her last appearance in reality was when she was forcibly logged out and collapsed…

ㄴㄹㅇ… We just believe her because Iarang-nim said she’s healthy, but in our hearts, we’re really worried about whether she’s okay;;;

[Guys, look at this]

(Jindaru’s broadcast screenshot)

There’s a weirdo in Monster Hunter right now.

That crazy bastard is using that crazy nickname?

At first, I thought he was just a user who liked chicken breast?

(Video explaining the meaning of the nickname)

[Chicken Without Leg Wings] This was a nickname targeting Iarang-nim;;;

[Comment]

Who is this bastard? Hey, find out who that bastard is

Huh… He’s cursing at the goddess of Leore, Princess Masbl like this? Does this bastard not want to live in the virtual world?

Wow, look at his guts? He’s just a psycho?
