Automata

You might think it’s nonsense, and if it were the old me, it would be nonsense, but the current me thinks it’s a possible story.

If I just gave money to the guild members, they wouldn’t accept it unconditionally.

If I were them, I wouldn’t accept money from a 15-year-old girl without arms and legs.

No matter how rich that girl is, the moment you accept it, you just become human trash.

I know that this isn’t something I can do alone.

‘I should talk to Anna-unni tonight. We need to make it possible for raid sponsors and advertisements to appear in Korea too.’

“Good work, everyone!”

“Everyone worked hard.”

Today’s practice raid to prepare for the next raid was successful.

I perfectly grasped how to use Awakening skills, what timings, and what synergies to organize.

Moreover, Yesol-unni, who came in for briefing and analysis, did her first raid, and it was much easier to do the raid than I thought.

No matter how I look at it, this raid seems to depend on how well you use your Awakening skills.

Since the Awakening skill damage is a number that hasn’t appeared in LORE until now, it has become so important.

Awakening skills account for 10% of the total damage in a 20-minute raid, so you can see how powerful they are.

I told everyone to conserve their stamina for the raid try that might not end, and I didn’t practice for a long time today either.

After it was all over, those who wanted to rest logged out, and those who wanted to play the game more stayed behind.

Since I have nothing to do with my missing arms and legs anyway, I stayed in the guild house and read about the recent update in detail.

Originally, I was so curious about the Awakening skills during this update that I quickly read and skipped over the combat part, so even though it was a large-scale update, I don’t really know anything other than the Awakening skills.

Moreover, Christmas was also included, so I had even less time to know.

And there was practice today too.

“A lot of interesting things have been added.”

A lot has been added, but I got tired of reading and scrolled down, stopping at the costume section.

“What is it? Race change orb?”

I started reading in detail about the orb system that I was seeing for the first time.

“If you equip a race orb, you gain the characteristics of that race? Wow, wait a minute, this is a god patch?”

There was an example photo, and it was none other than a cat demi-human.

The moment an ordinary user equips the cat demi-human orb, cat ears and a tail appear.

It’s a god patch at a glance. But there was another problem.

The way to obtain the race orb is none other than…

“Crazy gacha…?”

Finally, LORE has gone crazy.

Costumes or the race transformation orbs that were added this time don’t make you stronger or give you additional benefits, but gacha in LORE is a bit shocking.

Of course, the gacha system exists within LORE. But until now, there has been no gacha that requires real money.

Sometimes I wonder how LORE makes money.

Because from the perspective of upgrading your stats in LORE, you don’t even need to spend a single won.

But in the end, something like this came out.

Since the odds must be announced in Korea, they are listed, and when I looked at the odds, the probability of a race transformation orb appearing was only 0.3%.

It costs 1,000 won to draw once.

But the probability is 0.3%? Moreover, when I read it in detail, there’s no mention of a ceiling.

In other words, you just have to break through 0.3% with pure luck.

“Finally, LORE has gone crazy.”

I went into the LORE gallery, which I hadn’t been in recently due to various events, and there was a lot of talk about this gacha.

But surprisingly, negative comments didn’t take up the entire space.

The reason is simple.

It doesn’t affect your stats. It’s okay to have it, it’s okay not to have it.

It’s not that LORE doesn’t care about horizontal progression, but most updates are vertical, that is, combat content.

So, most people are saying, “Just don’t draw it.”

Because drawing it doesn’t make you stronger.

What’s important in an RPG is appearance, but in the end, it’s whether I’m stronger than other people.

If it were the old me, I wouldn’t have drawn it after saying, “Tsk, it doesn’t affect my stats.” But…

“How did you know that I wanted to play a gacha game right now?”

The current me, who has plenty of money, doesn’t feel burdened by gacha.

Gacha.

Along with equipment enhancement, it’s one of the actions that make dopamine explode. The problem is that the amount is so large each time that I couldn’t handle it, so I couldn’t do it well in the past.

But now?

“First, shall I try 100 draws lightly?”

“What are you doing trying to do 100 draws?”

Pinku Berry-unni, who came up to the bed I was sitting on, naturally went into unni’s arms.

I said, feeling the softness of a chest that was beyond that of an East Asian.

“Pinku-unni. I’m going to draw the race transformation orb that came out this time.”

“Ah, that? There’s been a lot of talk about it recently. Female users are complaining that the odds are too low.”

It seems that female users care a lot about these costume and appearance-related parts.

Like me right now.

“Hehe. I’m going to draw it no matter what.”

“Is it okay if I watch from the side?”

“Of course!”

There’s still over 90 million won left in the LORE cash shop.

Since the cash shop only has costumes, pets, and mounts, there’s nothing to buy. I just buy one good thing when it’s updated, so there’s a lot left.

I decided to try drawing 10 times first.

When I pressed the draw button, a pure white orb appeared in front of my eyes and started to crack.

A flashing light came out from between the cracks, and the orb exploded, and 10 orbs were floating in the sky.

“Oooooh…! What’s with the production.”

“Ah…”

“Huh? What’s wrong, unni?”

“That… that pure white light just means it’s a normal reward…”

“…What?”

As soon as I heard Pinku Berry-unni’s words, I immediately clicked on the orbs, and as Pinku Berry-unni said, only strange things came out.

Health potions, mana potions, stamina potions, crafting materials, etc., all useless things.

I thought something would come out because the production was pretty, but it was all useless.

I pressed 10 consecutive draws as is.

This time it was different.

Purple light…

‘Even if it’s purple, I don’t think it feels like a legend…’

Purple light did come out, but it was just a set of doping potions.

Realistically, it’s almost 20,000 gold in gold value, so I made a huge profit, but it’s useless to me now.

“Is this what 0.3% is like?”

Anyway, I have money that’s close to infinite.

Let’s see who wins.

“Ah, Arang-a!?”

I skipped all the productions and spammed 10 consecutive draws as is.

==

“This doesn’t make sense…”

I despaired at the warning message that my inventory was full of trash and I needed to empty it before drawing.

It’s not that I’m despairing because I’m wasting money. I still have a lot of money left.

It’s just that I’m despairing that I’m this unlucky.

‘How many draws have I done now? I think I’ve done almost 400 draws?’

10,000 won for 10 draws. Then I’ve wasted 400,000 won so far.

But even yellow was the maximum, let alone purple.

“Ah, Arang-a, why don’t you calm down a little…?”

Pinku Berry-unni, who is restless looking at me.

Seeing Pinku Berry-unni’s appearance, I immediately emptied my inventory and grabbed Pinku Berry-unni’s hand.

After making Pinku Berry-unni’s hand extend in the shape of an index finger, I spammed the 10 consecutive draw button.

“Ugh!? A, Arang-a! S, stop!”

“No, I won’t stop!!!”

The draws came out in a row while spamming, and then suddenly stopped.

And the sunset light flashing in front of my eyes.

The orb vibrating and exploding greatly, unlike anything before.

“Uh!? A, Arang-a, it came out!!!”

At Pinku Berry-unni’s shout, I realized that I had finally broken through 0.3%.

With an effect that only the word “shimmering” comes to mind, I gently touched the orb that was emitting sunset light while trembling.

-Paaat!

The orb broke, and a small orb came into my hand.

[Race Transformation Orb – Automata]

An Automata created to protect the city in an era where civilization was extremely developed.

As long as you replace the parts even if there are injuries, there is no problem, so it was active as a weapon of war in that era.

Skill [Part Replacement]

You can attach and detach arms and legs in the house area.

“…?”

“Uh…”

As if possessed, I took off the Apostle outfit I was wearing and equipped [Race Transformation Orb – Automata] in the equipment window.

Lines that didn’t exist appeared on my elbows and wrists.

“Wow…”

I thought it would be something great because it’s called Automata, but it just feels like I’ve become a jointed doll.

When I moved my arm, I heard a sound that a person couldn’t hear.

Kkirik-

Kkirik-

There was nothing different from usual in moving my arm.

It just feels visually different.

“Arang-a, how is it…?”

“There’s just nothing different. It’s not particularly uncomfortable either. Instead, I got one skill.”

“Skill? Didn’t they say there’s no such thing in race transformation orbs?”

“Ah, it’s not a combat skill, it’s a skill that can only be used in the house.”

“Huh? There’s such a thing? Not a non-combat zone, but a house area?”

“I’ll try using it once.”

When I used the race transformation orb Automata skill, my arms and legs fell off with a *ttok* sound.

“Kyaaaaaaak!? A, Arang-a!!!”
