A sunny weekend afternoon.

The competition arena made in Korea by Marsble was packed with people.

Men and women of various ages, from 15 to 30, watched the large screen in front of them with anticipation, listening to the casters and commentators, waiting for the competition to begin.

[“Hello, viewers. Welcome to the Legacy of Raid – 2024’s second event tournament with Marsble.”]

The caster’s voice, with its cool and clear pronunciation, echoed through the arena.

As it was a tournament, a live broadcast was naturally on, and countless viewers flocked in.

Originally, many viewers came to see the birth of new pro gamers or for the light and fun content of the tournament, but this tournament had an unusually large number of people gathering.

-Gaeuja (Let’s go)

-I’ll bet my wrist that MAX wins

-Aren’t people coming to see the first event match more than the tournament today?

-LOL (laughing out loud)

-Let’s go

-Arang-nim, fighting!!!

-Finally, I get to see Arang-i, who I’ve heard so much about

This was because it was the first time Arang-i’s real appearance could be seen in an official LOR (Legacy of Raid) setting.

The caster and commentators explained the tournament, talking about various events and which players were participating, giving an overview of the flow.

-First, show us Arang-i!

-ArangArangArangArangArangArang

-I wonder how well Arang-i will do against Kim Ki-hyung

-Kim Ki-hyung will definitely win LOL (laughing out loud). How could she win?

-Kim Ki-hyung is a championship contender this year? Do you think a championship contender is a joke?

The tournament management team manager, Woo-cheol, screamed inwardly at the number of viewers, which was nearly double the usual.

‘Nice…!!! Calling the user Lee Arang-i was a stroke of genius!!! It’s already this popular, but a cute girl coming with pretty beauties? This will be even bigger!’

Of course, the user Lee Arang-i’s feeling was very different from inside LOR, but it was still at a level that could be called gap moe (contrast making someone cute).

A bright and mischievous pretty girl in LOR, but a gloomy pretty girl in reality!? This is an element that could be even more popular.

[LOR Gallery]

[Gallery Master’s Real-Life Debut, Gaeuja!!!] [725]

The broadcast has started.

Oh yeah? Is it finally happening? Are we finally going to see the Gallery Master’s real appearance!

I’m so curious. Rumor has it that her face is exactly the same in LOR and reality, but who believes that LOL (laughing out loud)

How could she achieve WFK (World First Kill) with that appearance at that age LOL (laughing out loud). Maybe she reduced her body shape a bit and completely changed her appearance with customization LOL (laughing out loud)

Honestly, I’ll forgive her even if she’s just a little pretty LOL (laughing out loud)

[Comments]

They’ve been deliberately controlling the Gallery Master’s “red pill” (real appearance) in the gallery for a while now, I’m so curious.

ㄴ LOL (laughing out loud) Except for the people who knew her in the beginning, the newcomers don’t know her real appearance at all

ㄴ She hasn’t shown her real appearance since the Mom’s Touch collaboration

[Arang-i’s Red Pill] [312]

I’m someone who went to see Arang-i in person during the Mom’s Touch event, is her body well enough to come to an offline tournament?

I’m very worried…

[Comments]

Seriously… I was so shocked when I first saw her that Arang-nim’s “red pill” is still vivid in my mind;;;

ㄴ The difference between LOR and reality was severe…

The shock when I saw her in a wheelchair…

ㄴ Wheelchair? Seriously?

[“This is an event match that many people are looking forward to, right!? It’s the match between the user Lee Arang-i and the pro Kim Ki-hyung.”]

[“That’s right. The viewers and audience are shouting Lee Arang-i’s name and looking forward to it, right? Caster-nim, do you know the user Lee Arang-i?”]

[“Not knowing the user Lee Arang-i while playing LOR is like not playing LOR at all!”]

[“That’s right. She’s the leader of the raid team that achieved WFK for the first time in Korea, and a great player who reached Grandmaster in just one week.”]

[“But the one facing that great user Lee Arang-i is none other than the current strongest player in Korea, Kim Ki-hyung.”]

-But no matter how much she’s done WFK, pro Kim Ki-hyung will definitely win

-Do you think WFK is a joke?

-Do you think PVP (Player vs Player) is a joke?

-He was almost evenly matched with pro Lee Jung-jin.

-You call that evenly matched? LOL (laughing out loud) He was just playing with him

-Looking at Lee Arang-i, she just has no concept of PVP at all

[“From now on, let’s meet the two players who are waiting for the event match! First, it’s Korea’s strongest man, pro Kim Ki-hyung!”]

In response to the caster’s words, pro Kim Ki-hyung waved his hand and entered the arena.

With his short, black sports haircut, a large physique worthy of being called the strongest in Korea, and muscles that showed he had been working out for a long time, he looked like a real athlete, not just someone from the virtual world.

“”Waaaaaa!!!””

[“As expected, pro Kim Ki-hyung’s popularity is amazing. To have that face, work out, and be good at games, isn’t that too much!?”]

[“Hahaha, pro Kim Ki-hyung. He’s won the tournament twice this year alone. Starting last year, his form has been improving, and he’s showing such terrifying skills that it’s no exaggeration to say he’s in his prime right now.”]

When pro Kim Ki-hyung’s recent tournament rankings appeared on the screen, people cheered.

-Wow, that’s crazy. Seriously.

-He awakened after losing to pro Lee Jung-jin last year Seriously Seriously

-Is a LWC (Legacy World Cup) win possible at this rate?

-Still, he’s lacking in Western physique LOL (laughing out loud)

-If you look at the physiques of the black guys, there’s no hope LOL (laughing out loud)

-He’s taking everything from the World Cup, is he going to take the virtual world too!

[“Next, pro Kim Ki-hyung’s opponent is none other than the user Lee Arang-i!”]

In response to the caster’s words, the user Lee Arang-i entered the arena.

[“The flower of LOR! The strongest pretty girl, the user Lee Arang-i, is now entering the arena… Uh… Is that really the user Lee Arang-i…?]

The arena, which had been echoing with the names of the user Lee Arang-i and pro Kim Ki-hyung, gradually subsided.

The user Lee Arang-i, who was expected to run out with a bright and cheerful smile like in LOR, entered with the help of another person in a wheelchair, contrary to everyone’s expectations.

The problem was that the wheelchair wasn’t a normal wheelchair, but a medical wheelchair that anyone could recognize.

The various medical devices attached to the user Lee Arang-i’s body made it clear that the user Lee Arang-i wasn’t just in a wheelchair because her legs hurt.

[“Uh… This isn’t a hidden camera prank, is it…?”]

[“Ah, that, the girl entering now is indeed the user Lee Arang-i…!”]

Everyone was shocked by the words of the caster and commentator.

-That’s really the user Lee Arang-i…?

-Her face is the same though?

-She seems to be much healthier though?

-You call that healthier?

-People who didn’t see her at the Mom’s Touch event wouldn’t know. It was really shocking back then

-I thought she was a corpse when I saw her at Mom’s Touch

-Seriously, she was a corpse itself

[“Ahem. There was a slight commotion, but we’ll continue…!”]

[“Pro Kim Ki-hyung seems quite flustered. Of course, we’re professionals at this, but we stuttered.”]

[“Yes. I bit my tongue too. Oh, I thought my heart was going to drop thanks to the user Lee Arang-i. According to the organizers, the user Lee Arang-i has recently regained her health and can play the game without any problems!”]

[“That’s a relief. It’s good to hear that the user Lee Arang-i is healthy.”]

The caster was explaining, but pro Kim Ki-hyung was bewildered by the frail pretty girl in front of him.

‘I have to fight this kid…?’

-No, wouldn’t fighting her just make you a child abuser?

-How can you attack her…?

-She’s launching a mental attack from the start?

-No one can win this

[LOR Gallery]

[Gallery Master’s Red Pill] [1204]

(Picture)

(Picture)

My brain froze as soon as the Gallery Master came on the broadcast.

I wondered if that pretty girl I saw in LOR was really her.

For a moment, I thought she was an identical twin;;;

People can change so much with their atmosphere…

That bright and cute Arang-i being like that in reality wasn’t just surprising, it was heartbreaking.

Her whole body is covered in medical devices, and she doesn’t look healthy at all.

I can see why Arang-i’s information was banned here. But does anyone know what Arang-i is sick with?

[Comments]

My heart dropped the moment I saw her

ㄴ She’s said to be 15 years old, but she definitely doesn’t have the eyes of a 15-year-old

ㄴ I didn’t know what it meant for eyes to be dead, but I realized that’s what dead eyes meant

I don’t know what her illness is. But I’m glad she looks healthier than before, as the caster said

ㄴ She was worse before…?

ㄴ She was just a corpse before. You couldn’t see her as a living person. This is a real improvement

ㄴ She seems to have gained a lot of weight, so that’s a relief

ㄴ That’s considered gaining weight?

ㄴ Yeah;;; She was just a corpse before, I tell you?

Pro Kim Ki-hyung was wondering if he should take this match seriously.

She may be a great person in LOR, but the girl in front of him looked more sick than anyone else here.

No matter how steely-hearted someone is, they can’t help but feel sympathy when they see the user Lee Arang-i in front of them.

‘Hmm… This is difficult.’

Pro Kim Ki-hyung’s worries disappeared completely when he greeted Arang-i.

“I will… definitely… win…”

Her lifeless eyes sparkled as she looked up at pro Kim Ki-hyung, and pro Kim Ki-hyung felt the fighting spirit in her eyes that he felt when he met other pros.

‘So she didn’t push Jung-jin hyung (older brother/senior) around for nothing…!’

Pro Kim Ki-hyung confirmed Arang-i’s will and decided to do his best.

But that feeling didn’t last long.

[“Pro Kim Ki-hyung and the user Lee Arang-i are equipping the access devices that are placed in the center. I wonder what kind of match this will be!”]

[“Wait a minute…?”]

[“Ah, no, that, that’s… uh… well…”]

Arang-i was detaching her prosthetic arms and legs to get into the access device.

The atmosphere of the tournament, which had subsided when Arang-i appeared, turned into a library after Arang-i’s prosthetic arms and legs were all removed.
