Im Jong-gi

While riding in the carriage to the next village, I pondered over what had happened earlier.

At the time, I just wanted to enjoy the game, so I blocked that guy and got away, but now that I think about it, everyone there was focused on me.

That means the reason so many people gathered there was all because of me.

,What is it… Did I do something weird?”,

No matter how much I think about it, all I did was catch goblins, slimes, rabbits, and even a level 15 field boss.

The guy I blocked was definitely level 60, the max level. The people around him seemed to be mostly max level too.

Usually, people gather like that when there’s an update or an incident.

There wasn’t an update when I launched the game, so that means it was an incident.

,The center of that incident was me…?”,

Now that I think about it, they were all looking at me. But I really didn’t do anything wrong, did I?

This is a bit of a big deal. The fact that so many people gathered means a lot of people saw it on a specific site, like a gallery.

Reputation is quite important in RPGs.

Especially in top-tier raids, a player’s reputation is very important when organizing the raid party.

In RPGs, reputation and logs must always be managed.

What are logs? Simply put, they’re records of what you did in a raid. The most commonly used log is the DPS meter.

It records everything, like whether this person does good damage or how many mistakes they make.

Some people get stressed out by these things, but as someone who plays RPGs, I think it’s good to have a DPS meter.

Because I can see myself growing every time I raid. At first, I’m stuck at the bottom, but as I get used to the mechanics and my class, I can see my records gradually improving.

I’m getting long-winded, but the most important thing is that you need a good reputation to get into a raid party.

Who would like a party member who curses and nitpicks at the slightest mistake during a raid try, and disrupts the party atmosphere? That’s why once you’re kicked out of a party, it’s hard to get into another one.

But no matter how I think about the situation in the starting village.

It didn’t look like a good situation.

‘What if I reach max level and can’t even go to raids…?’,

No matter how good your hands are or how great your skills are, you can’t clear a raid alone. The game is designed for party play, and you probably won’t even be allowed to enter solo.

All those max-level players were looking at me with eyes that didn’t like me.

‘I need to find out what happened.’

I logged out for now.

As soon as the pure white space came into view, I opened the connection device menu and launched the internet.

I quickly searched for Leore on the internet, which, despite being in the future, was no different from the world I was in.

As soon as I clicked on the Leore Gallery at the top, I was bombarded with countless posts.

And as soon as I clicked on the popular posts, the title of the top post caught my eye.

[Orc Chieftain Solo Clear Player] [315]

As soon as I clicked on it, a game screenshot came into view, and I was in it.

,Huh?”,

After reading the highly recommended comments, I quickly grasped the situation.

‘The field boss was a raid boss?’,

I thought it was just a unique monster, but it was a boss that a party would take on with a strategy.

And the parrying was the start of the incident.

Sure, parrying was difficult and challenging, but I don’t think it’s as difficult as people are saying in the comments.

Of course, my body’s talent is outstanding, but still, it’s the body of a young girl.

‘Well, if a newbie suddenly caught a boss, I would have thought it was a hack back then too.’

But there are no hacks in this game, and in Leore, a hack means illegal modification.

The connection device, like a choker around a person’s neck, blocks the signals from the brain to the body and sends those signals to the game.

That’s why I can move in the game as I think.

But there’s a modification that intentionally amplifies those signals. Of course, the side effects are very serious, so it’s legally prohibited, which is why it’s called illegal modification.

But now they’re saying I did an illegal modification.

‘So that’s why that guy told me to play fair.’

Now I’m starting to understand what happened this morning.

If I had really done an illegal modification, I would have been anxious and nervous, but I’m using a very healthy and normal connection device.

The connection device I’m using is completely different from others, but it’s still a normal connection device.

If this was just a simple RPG, I would have ignored everything and just quit the game to find another fun game, but now I want to play Leore for a long time.

,Ugh… What should I do?”,

If I just leave it alone, people will keep misunderstanding, and eventually, I’ll just be seen as a hacker. Then, naturally, it will be impossible to get a job in a raid.

,I don’t want that…”,

But it’s too much of a burden to go out in front of so many people to clear up this misunderstanding.

But if I want to play Leore, I think I need to resolve the issue of hacking and illegal modification at least.

Anyway, everyone who plays Leore even a little bit has seen the screenshot of me, and I’m already famous.

,But how do I clear up the misunderstanding? Hmmm…”,

Come to think of it, I was just trying to catch the Orc Chieftain and ended up parrying, and as I was catching it, I caught it.

But they’re saying that’s impossible? But I already did it?

Aren’t you all just lacking in skill?

Legacy of Raid Customer Center.

The customer center was busier than usual, with five times more inquiries than usual.

What was strange was that all those inquiries were about one user. The customer center employee sensed something was wrong and reported this to their superiors.

The Leore Customer Center team leader, upon receiving the report, personally reviewed the inquiries about that one user.

,Cleared the Orc Chieftain solo?”,

Until now, level-adjusted bosses had never been cleared solo. Even people who were physical monsters cleared it with at least six people.

But clearing such a boss solo was clearly an anomaly.

Most of the inquiries suspected illegal modification of the connection device and requested the company to investigate directly.

Feeling that it was strange enough, the customer center team leader immediately moved to inform the other team leaders about these details.

The team leaders all gathered to confirm the controversy that was happening in Leore.

All the team leaders watched the video of a user showing an unbelievable parry and clearing the Orc Chieftain at level 5 while solo clearing the Orc Chieftain.

,It’s definitely amazing, but it’s theoretically possible, right?”,

,That’s right. But there’s one problem.”,

,Problem?”,

The team leader, who had been gathering information about the Iarang user in preparation for any possible issues, informed the team leaders of what they had found out, and the team leaders went to the general director about this issue.

,So, this young child really cleared that Orc Chieftain solo?”,

The Leore director spoke to the team leaders about the sudden controversy.

,Yes.”,

,What’s the user’s information?”,

,Her real name is Lee Arang, the same as her nickname, and she is 15 years old.”,

,Then is there a problem? It’s not like there’s really a hack in our game, and there wasn’t a problem in the logs?”,

,There were no problems with the logs. This 15-year-old girl really cleared the Orc Chieftain with her own strength.”,

,Really? Then there’s no reason for this matter to come up to me, right? There’s another problem, isn’t there?”,

,The problem is related to the connection device.”,

,Connection device? Did she really do an illegal modification? This girl?”,

The director frowned.

,We haven’t confirmed an illegal modification, but it was a connection device model that even we had never seen before. And the model name is…”,

,A model you’ve never seen before? Is that even possible?”,

The Leore director received the paper. It contained information about the Iarang user.

It wasn’t all personal information, but information that could be normally obtained from a game company, and it was possible to know which connection device was used to connect, but in that column, a connection device model name that even the director had never seen was written.

,This is…”,

[MDB Medical DeathBed]

A model name that the game director had never seen before.

It doesn’t say which company made it, nor does it say which generation model it is.

But it was such an intuitive connection device model name that you could immediately tell what kind of connection device it was just by looking at the model name.

[MDB Medical DeathBed] In Korean, it means [Medical Death Imminent Connection Device].

I’ve heard of it.

I heard that the medical field is interested in it because of its function to block signals generated in the brain. I heard that it started with the curiosity of whether it could be used instead of anesthesia, which has a slight risk.

DeathBed Imjong.

It’s a pretty heavy word.

Imjong means the end of life or the approach of death.

In other words, the [MDB Medical DeathBed] connection device is a connection device to reduce pain for patients who are close to death.

,This young girl…”
