Christmas

    What day is it today?

    It’s Christmas.

    The old me thought of [Christmas] as just a game event launchpad.

    Even games that usually never give out freebies would hold big events and shower players with rewards during Christmas.

    So, back then, I didn’t go out much and just played games, but on Christmas, I’d curse the game friends who weren’t online and play games all day.

    But now it’s different.

    I watched Anna-unni and Pinku-unni decorating the hospital room with enthusiasm in the doctor’s arms.

    From balloons to a Christmas tree and decorations galore, and carols echoing through the hospital room.

    The slightly drab hospital room was turning red.

    ‘Can I expect presents…! Wait a minute, but…’

    The thought occurred to me that receiving presents is a good thing, but could I even use them?

    Honestly, I’m living a mentally satisfying life right now, and I don’t really need anything since I have everything I need.

    ‘I’d rather get virtual world allowance… Ahem.’

    My parents put 100 million into LeoLe, but it’s money that can only be used in LeoLe, and since there’s no concept of growing stronger by spending real money in the game, there’s not much to use it for.

    I just occasionally buy added costumes when the cash shop is updated, so the money inside is a waste.

    ‘Come to think of it, I wonder if there are any mobile game-like games here?’

    I used to love idle and collection games too.

    When I first came as Arang, I was so focused on the virtual world in front of me that I didn’t pay attention, but I really played a lot of collection games.

    Back then, every time I spent money, I’d tremble and wonder if I should eat ramen or just drink water, but now I don’t have to worry about that.

    Of course, there’s a limit, but I’m the daughter of a rich person who gives 100 million as allowance, one of the richest people in the world…! I want to enjoy games not just with my name, but with fully enhanced characters and fully enhanced character-exclusive weapons. I want to brag about it.

    ‘I should talk to my parents about this later.’

    When the Christmas party started, Bae-ddeopgae also came, and we had a good time watching movies together or chatting about LeoLe.

    Especially for lunch, the chefs came directly and cooked outside the hospital room, then immediately served a course meal, and we ate delicious food.

    When the talk about the raid next week was somewhat finished, it turned into gift time.

    I thought I’d get presents, but I didn’t know it would turn into such a serious atmosphere.

    First, Pinku-unni gave me a scarf, and Bae-ddeopgae gave me a cute Santa outfit.

    56

    And Anna-unni, the grand finale, gave me a paper bag about the size of a small business card.

    “Eh?”

    I almost got disappointed for a moment, but I quickly snapped out of it.

    Anna-unni wouldn’t give something small as an important gift on this important Christmas.

    “Hehe. Curious? I was originally going to give it to Arang right away, but I didn’t think Arang had a concept of money yet, so I didn’t give it. But after seeing A-ring using the money in LeoLe, I thought Arang knew well, so I’m giving it to you.”

    The paper bag is opened by Anna’s hand, and the gift slowly comes out.

    “Even if Arang does anything, it won’t be blocked, but everything in moderation, like 1 billion at once, that’s not okay. You know that, right?”

    It wasn’t a business card.

    It was a card.

    Not just a credit card, but a colorless, achromatic one, a black card.

    “Wow… that’s a black card…?”

    “Hiek! A, a real black card?”

    Pinku Berry and Bae-ddeopgae were shocked to see the black card in Anna-unni’s hand.

    Actually, I was shocked too.

    Gulp.

    Living as a man in the past, I knew about the existence of black cards.

    That black card, which only the top rich people who meet many conditions, not just having a lot of money, can use, was in Anna’s hand.

    It’s actually natural for our family to have that.

    Wealth and power that ranks among the top in the world.

    But the card that Anna-unni is showing has my name engraved on it in English.

    Wait, aren’t I 15 years old? Even if the year changes, I’ll still be 16, is it possible to issue a card?

    The only card I’ve used since I was young was a transportation card, so I don’t know well.

    Well, if Anna-unni is giving this to me as a gift, it means there’s no problem.

    “Still, all of Arang’s payments will go to unni. This is really just in case something happens, and I won’t interfere unless it’s necessary.”

    “Unni, thank you…!”

    “And I’ve also linked it to Arang’s access device in advance, so you can easily pay within the virtual world.”

    “!!! R, really!?”

    “Yeah.”

    This is crazy.

    I’m going to look for a subculture collection game to play before going to bed tonight.

    ==

    I had a party with Pinku, Bae-ddeopgae, and Anna for lunch, and spent time with my parents and family in the evening.

    After all the schedules were over, I was going to look for a subculture game, but I didn’t have the energy.

    Playing games for 24 hours isn’t hard, but being surrounded by pretty girls in reality and partying in a lively atmosphere for almost the whole day makes me feel like all my energy is gone.

    In the end, I fell asleep in Anna’s arms as if I had fainted.

    In the morning, after doing the checkup and exercise that I couldn’t do yesterday while partying, I connected to the virtual world, but as always, I didn’t connect to LeoLe right away.

    There are so many game genres these days that I don’t know what to play, so I wrote a post on the fan cafe.

    [Must Read] – [Looking for Subculture Collection Game Recommendations]

    I don’t care if the BM is spicy.

    A subculture game that’s pretty, sexy, cute, has a great figure, and preferably no male characters.

    I hope the game play time isn’t long. Something with an idle feel. I can’t reduce my LeoLe time.

    -Arang is playing a subculture game?

    -These days, subculture games have such spicy BMs that I’m hesitant to recommend them…

    ㄴIsn’t Arang the person who cares the least about BM here?ㅋㅋㅋ

    ㄴLol, trueㅋㅋㅋ Who put 100 million into LeoLe? Arangㅋㅋㅋ

    -I recommend Girls’ War N.

    ㄴDidn’t they mess around with the gacha?

    ㄴThey did commit probability fraud once, but they’ve been managing it well since then

    -For a moment, I thought Arang was quitting LeoLe

    ㄴLooks like they just want an idle game that you can play for about 5 minutes a day?

    ㄴAre there people who spend money on that kind of game?

    ㄴThere are, you son of a bitch (deleted comment)

    ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    ㄴSince they said they don’t care about BM, it looks like they’re planning to whale a lot

    -I recommend Ark’s Ark!!!

    ㄴArk’s Ark is 인정 (injeong – acknowledgement/approval), it’s so avant-garde and fun

    Not long after writing the post, the post I wrote blew up.

    Thanks to that, I figured out which games are popular among gamers right now.

    They were all busy biting and tearing at each other, so the advantages and disadvantages of the games were clearly revealed.

    There were about 3 that caught my eye, and I should take some time later to seriously look at what characters they have.

    First.

    There’s something I have to do.

    We decided to practice teamwork with the people who are going to the raid today.

    The raid came out before we could even adapt to the Awakening system that was updated, so we have to practice teamwork as much as possible.

    “Link Start!”

    I didn’t have to say it, but I shouted the line from a novel I enjoyed reading in the past and entered LeoLe.

    “You’ve arrived.”

    The guild members who had already logged into LeoLe stood in a line and knelt before me, saying.

    “Yeah. Did everyone have a good Christmas?”

    “”…””

    “Sorry…”

    WFK

    The most glorious word and title in LeoLe.

    This new season raid.

    I have no idea how it will come out.

    This time, we set a period of one month to do the WFK.

    It’s not accurate to determine the period it takes to try a raid.

    Since we don’t know if the raid will be easy or difficult, we have to set the period as long as possible.

    But there’s a problem in doing this.

    It’s a problem in reality.

    Everyone isn’t showing it, but I know they’re feeling burdened.

    Suddenly, they have to take a whole month out of their real lives.

    This is very difficult unless they’re streamers or YouTubers.

    Unless they can earn money as a salary with a sponsor like Reina’s Mead raid team.

    There’s no way there would be such sponsors or advertisements in Korea.

    Even though a Korean made the access device and created the virtual world, Korea still doesn’t have a good perception of games.

    ‘And I can’t worry about that…’

    Reina says that having sponsors or advertisements is very helpful, but there are many restrictions.

    That’s why I’m not broadcasting.

    But to get sponsors or advertisements, you have to broadcast first.

    ‘But if I don’t do anything, our guild members who are trying the WFK with me won’t be able to try it comfortably. They’ll probably play anxiously and hastily as if they’re running out of time.’

    It’s difficult.

    Running a guild is very difficult.

    While waiting for the guild members who haven’t arrived yet, I was thinking hard and realized something amazing.

    ‘Wait a minute… I should just create a company. So I can sponsor my own guild.’

    What’s in the box is the prosthetic arm that Arang has worn several times.
