Ch. 18 Middle School 2nd Grade Syndrome
by AfuhfuihgsChapter 18 – Middle School 2nd Grade Syndrome
LEORE’s first dungeon didn’t present much difficulty, aside from the final Tank Buster.
There weren’t any “you have to get hit to learn” mechanics, so we cleared it without any issues on our first try.
“Wow… I just got goosebumps,” Kang Hangilnim said, clenching his trembling hands into fists. “The exhilaration when I blocked that last Tank Buster was incredible!”
When dealing with the second Tank Buster, the scene of me and Kang Hangilnim taking turns Parrying and Tanking to protect each other was straight out of a manga.
On top of that, the Tanker and Melee Dealer’s aggro, combined with the [Magician]’s flashy magic, was a different experience from the usual monsters or [Field Bosses].
It’s definitely fun to take down a dungeon boss with overwhelming force that you can’t defeat alone, by coordinating with your party members.
Plus, doing it in a virtual reality game makes it feel like you’re really risking your life, which makes my heart pound.
“Arang! You were really awesome!” Pink Berry praised me with a smile.
“Hehehe! Praise me more!”
“Yeah! You were super, super awesome!”
“Arangnim, you’re really amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen a Swordmaster pull out this much DPS. And that Parrying you did to block that attack earlier! It was really amazing. Would it be okay if I uploaded this to RyuTube YouTube?”
“Of course!”
Alright. Now it’s time to check the dropped items.
With a pounding heart, I opened the menu window where the alarm was ringing, and a bunch of equipment items popped up.
A total of 10 pieces of equipment.
“Ah…”
“Uh…”
[Surprised Emoticon]
I read the descriptions of the equipment in front of me one by one, and I realized why all the party members were sighing.
Not a single Swordsman-related piece of equipment dropped.
“What is this…?”
Even if there are many types of equipment, 10 pieces dropped, but not a single one of them was for Swordsman.
“Ah, Arang, don’t worry. Now that we can graduate from the lower dungeons quickly, clearing a dungeon will guarantee one piece of equipment for your class in your inventory.”
There are 7 equipment slots for head, shoulders, top, waist, bottom, shoes, and weapon.
Accessories include 2 rings, 2 earrings, and 1 necklace, for a total of 5.
Since I have the Taseom Sword, which is a near-endgame weapon, I guess it’s okay. That means I need to get 11 items.
So, if I’m unlucky… does that mean I have to run this dungeon 11 times…?
This dungeon with all these grotesque monsters crawling around…?
Ew.

“Thank you for helping me today,” I said, bowing my head to Kang Hangilnim and Mozza Whoppernim. “If it weren’t for these two, this heart-pounding dungeon raid wouldn’t have been so fun.”
“No, I also found a new kind of fun thanks to Arangnim. Today’s dungeon raid was really fun.”
[Thumbs Up Emoticon]
[I won’t lose next time.]
Mozza Whoppernim, who usually only uses emoticons, typed a message for the first time.
As the atmosphere started to break up, I immediately said, “Shall we go for a round two to celebrate the successful dungeon raid?”
“Round two, you say?”
“Round two?”
“Yeah. Just to chat or something!”
Everyone agreed to my suggestion.
I ended the broadcast, and we went to the house that Kang Hangilnim owned, ate in-game food, and chatted.
As we laughed and talked about what happened in the dungeon, Kang Hangilnim focused his gaze on my arm.
I had taken off my armor costume and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts like a beginner user.
“If you don’t mind me asking, is there a reason why you deliberately have those boundary lines on your arms and legs?”
At Kang Hangilnim’s words, I raised my arm. There was a faint boundary line exactly where my arm was missing.
From that point, the skin below my arm was slightly different from the skin on my upper arm.
Well, the reason for this is simple.
It’s a phenomenon that occurs when the game automatically creates arms and legs in places where they don’t exist in reality.
“Ah, this isㅡ”
“Wait, hold on!”
Just as I was about to explain why this happened, Pink Berry urgently interrupted me.
“It’s a bit difficult to talk about this…”
“A difficult part to talk about in Character Customization… you say?”
“Huh? It’s not hard to talk about, is it?”
“Arang!”
“Uh, yeah?”
“Is it okay to talk about it…?”
“…Huh? Is it okay to talk about it?”
What’s going on? Pink Berry is looking at me with sad eyes. Why…?
Let’s think. Did I do something wrong to Pink Berry? Did she not like today’s offline gathering?
But we were laughing and talking about LEORE and then ate Bossam before parting ways…? Hmm…
No. Right now, Pink Berry thinks I’m having a hard time talking about this boundary line.
Hmm… The reason she thinks I’m having a hard time is probably because I don’t have arms and legs in reality, right?
It’s true that people without arms and legs are more likely to be sad, have a hard time, feel uncomfortable, and have a gloomy outlook on the world.
And Arang used to be like that too.
But I’m different. Is it because this isn’t my original body, or am I just not accepting the current situation as reality?
When I wake up from LEORE and open my eyes in the hospital room, my emotions are overwhelmed by Arang’s emotions, and I become depressed.
But that’s not my emotion, it’s Arang’s emotion…
Wait a minute. I am Arang. Then, hmmm… I don’t know. I only worry and think this seriously when I’m preparing for a game raid.
So what if I don’t have arms and legs? I have them here.
Of course, it’s uncomfortable and difficult when I’m in reality, but since I spend most of my time in the virtual world, I don’t really think it’s that inconvenient.
Pink Berry was the first person to know me besides my family, and she even saw me today.
Just like my parents and Anna think I’m having a hard time and in pain even when I’m fine, Pink Berry seems to be mistaken that I’m having a hard time too.
No, I’m super happy…
I’ve been sitting in front of a computer my whole life, clicking away with a mouse and keyboard on a small monitor, and now I’m playing a virtual reality game that’s no different from reality.
I’m playing a virtual reality game that I only saw in movies, manga, novels, and anime—how can I not be happy!
It’s not like it looks like CG; I’m really moving my body like in reality. It feels like I’ve been reincarnated into this world!
The gamer’s soul is burning!
“Arang… are you okay?”
“Arangnim… are you alright?”
“Ah. I’m fine. I was just thinking for a moment. Pink Berry, don’t worry! I’m in the best mood ever because I cleared the dungeon today!”
“Ah…”
Not hearing Pink Berry’s sigh, I explained to Kang Hangilnim and Mozza Whoppernim that I don’t have arms and legs, so LEORE’s Character Customization created them like this.
“I don’t have arms and legs, so it turned out like this.”
Kang Hangilnim and Mozza Whoppernim, upon hearing that…
“Ah, I see. So that’s the setting? There are definitely a lot of people in LEORE with those kinds of concepts. Arangnim is 15 years old, after all. It’s the age when Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome Chuunibyou is still lingering.”
[Now I can believe that Arangnim is 15 years old. She’s so cute…]
“Huh?”
I suddenly became a Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome girl.

[Middle School Girl Lee Arang Underground Dungeon Clear Party Meter] [213]

This is the party meter that came out after going to the underground dungeon with Kang Hangil and Mozza. Am I seeing things wrong? The Swordmaster just surpassed the Magician.
Does that mean the Magician didn’t do well? That’s not it either. If you look at the Leore Log, Mozza Whopper is a Blue Tag Dealer Top 50 DPS. He came out as Blue Tag Dealer Top 50 DPS in this dungeon too.
Our Middle School Girlchan Lee Arang’s party meter is weird. Look at this.
It’s much higher than the number one Swordmaster in the underground dungeon right now.
Is this the Middle School Girl who solo cleared the Orc Chieftain?
[??? Is that right for a Soma? Is she hacking?]
ㄴ[Are you still talking about hacking? She said she’s not hacking]
ㄴ[No, but have you ever seen a party meter like that?]
[Is the balance real? Is it right for a Soma to do that much Damage Per Second?]
ㄴ[Seriously, who would bring a Magician who doesn’t have any party synergy?]
ㄴ[ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, I’d rather bring a Soma who raises the stats of the entire party and does more Damage Per Second than a Magician]
[In the first place, is the clear time right? The clear time is also 5th place? Is it possible to do that with level 60 equipment?]
ㄴ[If you raise the dungeon Combat Assistance level and go, you’ll probably just take first place?]
[Dealing with the Maggot’s 2 consecutive Tank Busters without Invincibility Skill] [375]
(Video)
This is a video of dealing with the 2 consecutive Tank Busters that are usually dealt with using the Tanker’s Invincibility Skill, by using Parrying and defensive skills.
It’s just crazy, who thinks of taking turns Parrying and getting hit to endure the Tank Buster? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[You could get through that without an Invincibility Skill?]
ㄴ[Since you can just use an Invincibility Skill to get through it, no one thought of doing it any other way]
[Wow, you can just press a button to get through it, but you made it so difficult]
ㄴ[The romance is amazing~ Let’s have a drink!]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s amazing, the Dealer doesn’t die even though he’s getting hit by the Tank Buster]
[But if you do Parrying like that, you’ll trigger Revenge really well]
ㄴ[If you watch the dungeon run from the beginning, she does Parrying consistently]
[Middle School Girl Lee Arang Arms and Legs Character Customization] [34]
(Acquaintance Screenshot)
There’s someone I know who lost an arm in a car accident, and if you look at that acquaintance’s Character Customization, they have boundary lines like Middle School Girl Lee Arang.
So, if you look at the Character Customization in Middle School Girlchan’s video

You can see that these boundary lines, slightly below the shoulder and inside the thigh, are all the same as the boundary lines that my acquaintance has.
That means that it’s not just something that happened while changing the Character Customization, but a phenomenon that occurs in the Leore game when creating a place where a person’s body is missing
[In other words, Middle School Girlchan has an Innocent body?]
ㄴ[Be careful with your words, it’s dangerous because it’s a real name]
[A 15yearold without arms and legs? No way, you can make that with Character Customization]
ㄴ[Yeah, I just bought a Character Customization change ticket and tried it, and it’s possible]
[She’s 15 years old~ Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome is still lingering ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
ㄴ[In the first place, look at the equipment ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Black armor and white cape, is that real ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
ㄴ[Seriously ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s a Middle School 2nd Year Syndromefilled costume]
[From now on, not Middle School Girl Lee Arang, but Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome Lee Arang]
[Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome Lee Arang Swordmaster ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome is serious]
