352. Flesh (2)

This makes no sense.

I’ve definitely been eating a lot lately, but it shouldn’t feel this heavy.

I grabbed my belly with my hand.

‘It’s definitely gotten fatter…’

I can grab it. I can grab a bit of my belly now.

Before, I had to bend over and think, ‘I should grab my belly,’ to even grab anything. And even then, it felt more like grabbing skin than fat.

But now, it’s clearly fat, not just skin, that I’m grabbing with my fingers.

Of course, even this belly is only grab-able when I try, and it doesn’t really look like a belly when I’m just standing around.

‘Wait a minute, could it be…!’

I took my hand off my stomach and placed both hands on my chest.

“……….”

This is unfair.

I was in despair at the feeling of ribs instead of flesh.

Shouldn’t fat go to my chest when I gain weight?

And besides, gaining weight is good and all, but isn’t it cheating for my arms and legs to get heavier?

I was just going to check out the auction house for unique items and warm up my body with my improved physique before practicing for the Space Wars tournament…!

I’m getting dizzy from this sudden turn of events.

It’s not like my body is in bad shape right now. On the contrary, it’s getting healthier.

My senses are so sharp that I can’t adapt to the sudden change in my body. Having good senses and having good adaptability are completely different things.

The sensations of my old body that were ingrained in me have been twisted in an instant.

If my senses were just normal, I would have just thought, ‘Oh, my body feels a little heavy,’ and moved on.

But now, my body’s senses are so sharp, sensitive, and have such good memory that you wouldn’t think I was human.

That’s why it’s even harder to adapt to my changed body.

Space Wars isn’t a game that requires a lot of physical movement, so it’s fine, but LEORE is a game that requires a lot of physical movement.

My senses are so messed up that I might just fall over while attacking a scarecrow on flat ground without even moving.

‘Do I need to lose weight…?’

It’s not that I’m making mistakes because my body is heavy.

It’s because I’m trying to move my current body with the senses of my old body that I’m making mistakes.

I kind of want to lose weight.

The senses that I’ve honed to the extreme have collapsed in an instant, so my body won’t move the way I want it to.

It’s not inconvenient for everyday life. I’ll adapt if I adapt, but the problem is that it will take a long time to show my best performance in the game.

But it’s obvious that Anna-rang and Pinku-yang will scold me the moment I say, “I’m going to go on a diet.”

When I first opened my eyes as Arang, I looked like I would die if I didn’t eat, but now I look like I’m too skinny.

That’s what I thought.

But then.

,Arang-ah, you’ve gained a lot of weight?”

Vita-ssi said with a smile as she touched my belly while we were watching the uncles at Nine University hanging balloons and playing games to prepare for the Space Wars tournament.

Thud.

I was shocked as soon as I heard those words.

“I like touching Arang-ah’s belly, and it feels even better now that you have a belly.”

And the moment Vita-ssi grabbed my belly.

“Heueut…!”

My body trembled.

“…?”

I was flustered by the sudden tingling sensation, and Vita-ssi was flustered by my reaction.

I’ve known that my stomach is sensitive since a long time ago.

Whenever I was wearing the access device without my arms and legs, my parents would always kiss my stomach.

Since I didn’t have arms and legs, my stomach was the only place they could do it.

I would get goosebumps all over my body every time, but that was when it was done on bare skin.

It wasn’t a problem when I was wearing clothes. But as soon as someone else grabbed my belly, I had no choice but to cover my mouth with both hands.

It’s completely different from the sensation I felt from the vibrations to forcibly enter Awakening Mode.

When I receive a strong shock, my mind calms down and the sensation in my stomach fades, so I’ve never really thought about the sensation in my stomach.

But when I’m touched moderately, I feel the sensation in my stomach at 100%.

==

Squeeze.

Vita-ssi pressed Arang-i’s belly once more.

Twitch.

Arang-i lowered her head and trembled. Seeing this, Vita-ssi felt something awakening in her heart.

She definitely felt that she liked seeing Arang-i’s eyes looking at bugs, but it was so much fun to see Arang-i unable to do anything and just trembling at her touch.

But that feeling didn’t last long.

The thought that she was tormenting a child, and a sick child at that, flashed through her mind, and she was instantly filled with self-loathing.

“I’m sorry! Arang-ah!!!”

Vita-ssi got out of Arang-i’s arms and immediately bowed down in front of Arang-i.

Vita-ssi started sweating as Arang-i hugged her knees and didn’t say anything.

Arang-i was feeling a sense of 현자타임 (hyeonjataim, “wise time,” a Korean slang term for the feeling of emptiness and regret after orgasm) as if she had been caught by her parents while having 혼자타임 (honjataim, “alone time,” a euphemism for masturbation).

Arang-i didn’t say anything and just left the virtual world.

Arang-i stared blankly at the sky even after the access device was removed.

‘Shibal?’

Arang-i got goosebumps all over her body at the wetness she felt below.

==

I want to die.

I’m currently in the bathtub with Pinku-yang.

My prosthetic arms and legs aren’t waterproof, so I had no choice.

Pinku-yang was still editing in my room and knew what I was having trouble with.

It’s only natural since the situation in my virtual world is being shown on a large screen in my room.

The problem is that I got excited for the first time since I opened my eyes as Arang-i.

And the excitement was in such an unexpected situation that it was even more absurd.

I really want to die right now.

If I think about the current situation, it’s like I was playing a game with a friend next to me, dozed off for a while, had a wet dream, and my friend was watching next to me, and we went to the bathroom together so she could wash me.

Wow, if I think about it as a man, it’s definitely suicide material.

I don’t know if I should be grateful that I’m a woman, so it’s not as bad.

Today is the most embarrassing day of my life, including my entire life as a man and as Arang-i.

I always felt satisfaction and happiness when I entered the bathtub, but now I can’t get rid of all the embarrassing things that have happened to me, starting with Vita-ssi, from my head.

‘Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it.’

It’s absurd that I got excited just because I gained weight and someone touched my belly.

Did my senses increase as much as I gained weight? It’s not like they touched a sensitive area, it was just a belly rub… I don’t know.

I gave up thinking because I felt like I would die of embarrassment if I kept thinking about it.

==

After finishing my bath with Pinku-yang, I immediately entered the virtual world, logged into the Space Wars game, and immediately started playing ladder games.

It’s to fill my head with the game before I start thinking about what happened earlier.

Moving my body might be better in LEORE, but I came to Space Wars because I was worried that strange thoughts would come to mind with my heavier body.

Fortunately, I calmed down to some extent after playing several games, so I returned to Nine University.

“Arang-ahhhhhhhh!!!”

Vita-ssi ran to me and bowed down again.

‘That’s right. Now that I think about it, I logged out without saying anything to Vita-ssi.’

“It’s okay, Onee-chan (older sister).”

“I’m sorry. Onee-chan wasn’t thinking…”

“From now on, just stroke me gently.”

“Okay…”

“Yo!”

Hyuksoo-ajusshi waved his hand and greeted me.

“Did you apply for the tournament okay?”

“Yeah, I did. So I’m going to practice a bit, are there any uncles who want to join me?”

“There are plenty. Even just our professors, there are a few. Or I can connect you with other pros separately. I can connect you with almost anyone. Is there a pro you like?”

“I’ll practice with Lee Young-oh-ajusshi for now, and I’ll contact you if I need anything.”

“Great, great. Young-oh also said he wants to practice 괴물전 (goemuljeon, “monster war”) with you.”

[Amputee] : Ajusshi what are you doing

[FlaSh] : Warming up my hands.

[Amputee] : Practice ㄱㄱ (go go)?

[FlaSh] : ㅇㅋ (okay) ㄱㄷ (wait) 5 minutes

[Amputee] : ㅇㅋㅇㅋ (okay okay)

I hugged Vita-ssi, who had made me feel ashamed earlier, and played with Vita-ssi’s chest while waiting for Young-oh-ajusshi to warm up his hands.

==

Currently, the best player in the Space Wars game is Lee Young-oh-ajusshi.

It’s no exaggeration to say that he has mastered the Human race.

There’s a saying that Human is a scam in Space Wars, and it’s all because of Lee Young-oh-ajusshi.

But when I looked it up last time, he didn’t compete as Human in one season, but instead competed in the individual league with the crazy idea of choosing Random, and he even set a crazy record of 3rd place.

He got 3rd place in the individual league, which is hard enough to do with one race, with Random.

Random means that in Space Wars, you originally choose one race to play. But if you choose Random, one of the three races, Human, Monster, or Proto, is randomly selected.

In other words, you have to be good at all three races at a pro level.

If I’m the type to overwhelm with overwhelming physical ability, Lee Young-oh-ajusshi feels like he plays with insane sense and intuition and the physical ability to make it happen.

‘Alright. Let’s try to win the tournament.’

And let’s lose weight.

No matter how I think about it, it’s right to lose weight when I think about what happened earlier.

Tournament practice and exercise.

Doing these two things diligently is my goal this time.
