Ajura.

Something’s weird.

An Enchanter, known as the king of debuffs in PVP.

Their performance in PVP is naturally top-tier, and they’re a must-have class in siege warfare.

But that’s only when they’re useful in party play; in 1v1 arena matches, they’re one of the lowest tiers.

The reason is simple.

You need a dealer who can apply debuffs and finish things off, but the arena is 1v1.

So, in the arena, Enchanters are just a novelty pick.

But.

Why.

Am I meeting Enchanters two times in a row?

That question didn’t last long.

[Start!]

,”I’m a fan of the Princess-“

Seogeok!

As someone who hates Enchanters, I was preparing to end it quickly, and as soon as the start signal went off, I immediately slashed the Enchanter’s neck.

In PVP, the head, neck, and heart are weak points that should never be attacked.

If an attack lands perfectly there, it’s a guaranteed death.

As I sliced through their neck in one go, right before death, the Enchanter’s words brought back memories of my first time in the arena.

,”Ugh. Here we go again.”

There was a time when most users brought Enchanters and went apeshit, trying to fight me in the arena for a long time.

If I were my past self, I would have been annoyed and debated whether to quit, but it’s different now.

I’ve completely become accustomed to Arang’s body, and I can now freely control her sharp senses and physique as if they were my own.

The super-sensory perception I used to use when stressed or during my period is now my basic sense.

To put it simply, if my old senses were twice as good as an average person’s, and my super-senses were three times as good,

Now, I’m basically twice as good as an average person, and my super-senses are about four times as good.

To exaggerate a bit, it feels like time is flowing slower.

In the past, parrying magic and blocking attacks faster than magic was nearly impossible, but now, if I fully concentrate, I can attempt to parry any ranged attack.

Seueuk.

I dodged the Enchanter’s debuff skill, which I met again, by twisting my body while charging forward.

,”Huh!?”

The Enchanter, seemingly flustered, looked at me, and the moment their gaze momentarily flickered downwards, I slammed my greatsword into the ground, forcibly canceling my charge.

And in that spot, the Enchanter’s instant-cast debuff skill was activated.

Chwaang!

,”Are you kidding me!?”

Instant-cast skills activate immediately in the location the caster desires, making it impossible to see and dodge.

However, all casts require a designation, so the caster’s gaze inevitably has to go there.

With the Enchanter’s instant-cast skill gone, the Enchanter in front of me is nothing more than food.

[Victory!]

,”Hoo…”

6 wins, 0 losses since the placement matches. Current season record: 16 wins, 0 losses.

,”Looking at my current state, unless I reach Challenger and am in the upper ranks, I can’t expect much.”

There are several reasons why I PVP, but the best thing is the close calls, the back-and-forth in extreme situations, and then me winning. I like that.

To do that, I need to climb to Challenger and even to where the pros are.

,”It seems like the average skill level has dropped since the server merge, but it’ll be different when I get to the pro level.”

,”Princess-nim, you’ve arrived.”

,”Yeah. Hello, everyone.”

,”Arang-i, hello~”

,”Arang-nim, welcome!”

I returned to the guild house with 30 minutes left until the raid time.

Unlike yesterday, everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

I feel good that the guild atmosphere is back to normal.

,”There’s a spot left in today’s raid; what are you planning to do?”

,”Ah, that? I’ll have to recruit from a public party.”

,”If it’s alright with you, would it be okay to invite my acquaintances?”

,”Oh? That’s fine too.”

,”Thank you, Princess-nim.”

The raid time was pushed back, and three guild members with schedules had to drop out.

Originally, we were going to recruit from within our guild, but everyone’s a “Leochang” (Level Maniac), so a raid group formed within our guild, and everyone already ran it on Thursday, the reset day.

So, I was going to recruit from a public party, but I feel relieved since the most RP-abiding guild member is taking care of the recruitment.

When it was time for the raid, we were eating buff food in the guild house courtyard when the people who would raid with us today arrived.

,”Greetings! We offer our greetings to the Princess-nim!”

They’re acquaintances of the guild member known as my right-hand man and loyal subject within the guild, so everyone’s concept is clear.

I clearly heard that there would be two dealers and one healer, but somehow, everyone’s avatar is wearing armor.

It feels like a knight order.

==

Degururu.

The pure white orb in my hand rolled and fell onto the bed.

Tuk.

Degururu.

It collided with the pure white orbs that filled the bed and rolled onto the floor of the guild house.

Paseuseuseuk.

The gacha orb disappeared, automatically emitting particle effects as it moved a certain distance away from my body.

Countless gacha orbs are rolling around the guild house like trash.

,”Ah… this can’t be happening!!!”

,”Haa…”

,”Ah… please…”

,”LeoRe, you shitty game.”

,”Where did my money go…?”

My guild members and I all hung our heads, falling into despair.

What’s going on?

The incident started not long after the raid ended.

After today’s raid ended, while we were all chatting in the guild house, a guild member who had received gacha orbs from me today opened them in front of everyone.

With only 20 orbs, even the guild member didn’t expect much and started opening them, and we were watching with smiles, wondering what kind of trash would come out, when a brilliant light burst from the first orb.

Everyone was excited, wondering if a legendary avatar had appeared, but what appeared before our eyes was none other than a race transformation orb.

It wasn’t like it came out after opening all 20; they got a race transformation orb on the first pull.

And it was the most popular and expensive cat-person race transformation orb in LeoRe right now.

Currently, a race transformation orb was listed on the auction house only once, and its price was a whopping 30 million gold.

30 million gold.

In cash value, that’s a 30 million won item.

You might say, “How can one item be worth 30 million won?” but it’s not a problem if you don’t have it to play LeoRe, so no one considered it a problem.

Rather, they hope that LeoRe makes money and maintains the game, even if it’s through things like this.

Of course, I don’t like LeoRe’s recent management.

Every time they do something, it’s nerf, nerf, nerf, so I’m thinking of just nerfing all the classes that piss me off this time.

Anyway, as soon as the guild member got a 30 million won race transformation orb in front of our eyes, everyone started buying gacha orbs like crazy, and that naturally included me.

But of course, it was a disaster.

The gacha probability is 0.3%, and there are so many types of race transformation orbs.

Getting the most expensive cat-person race transformation orb among them is said to be a nearly impossible probability.

Even though the race transformation orb gacha has been out for quite some time, it has only appeared once on the auction house.

It seems like 5 million won has been blown in just 30 minutes in our guild house alone.

Except for me and my middle school friends, everyone is an adult and has the financial means to invest their time fully in LeoRe.

But even for those users, today was too painful.

,”Seriously…”

,”Is this even possible?”

,”Wow, is the stack all used up, so nothing’s coming out!?”

,”Damn it, I shouldn’t have been swayed by the atmosphere! The money I saved to buy a Playstation…!”

Still, I never imagined that not even legendary items or avatars would come out.

I’ve opened over 500 orbs alone.

Since one orb costs 1000 won… I’ve spent over 500,000 won.

But all that came out of the orbs were dyes, food, potions, normal avatars, and small amounts of gold.

In other words, only trash came out endlessly.

The best thing someone in our guild got after spending 5 million won was a legendary avatar.

A few race transformation orbs did come out, but they were all low-grade, so they only changed one eye or one hand, making them not very appealing.

,”Hey, Arang-a…”

The guild member who got the cat-person race transformation orb cautiously approached me and handed me the cat-person race transformation orb.

I stared intently at the cat-person race transformation orb.

I want it.

But my pride doesn’t allow me to receive this.

The only race transformation orb I have is Automata. The problem is that Automata doesn’t change much in appearance.

Even though it’s legendary grade, it only changes the joints.

The only useful thing is playing with limb dismemberment? That’s the only thing.

Other than that, even if you’re only slightly far away, you can’t tell if it’s a human or an Automata race.

In other words, it’s just trash.

It was fun at first, but after using it, it didn’t look pretty anymore.

But what about the cat-person?

It’s just insane.

Cat ears that are clearly visible from afar, and a cat tail that sways gently when you look at the back?

Ah, the answer to why it’s the most expensive item in LeoRe is immediately clear.

But me, who has a lot of money, just receives it from a guild member?

That’s having no pride as a male gamer. At that point, I should just cut it of-

Thinking about it, I don’t have one anyway…?

Plus, she’s a 16-year-old kid. A middle schooler, even?

,”Thank you!”

I quickly snatched the cat-person race transformation orb in front of me.

As expected, Ajura is the best.
