Pain…?

Reina, who had a face similar to mine, was hugging me, dressed in a Pretty Cure magical girl outfit, and her face turned into a dumb expression.

Reina is fiddling with my face.

Even though Anna-unni is glaring at Reina with a very scary face in front of us, Reina is so engrossed in me that she doesn’t notice.

Anyway, it’s a little creepy, but this Pretty Cure magical girl cosplay outfit I’m wearing right now.

It fits my body perfectly.

I don’t know how Reina knew, but it means she knows my size completely.

This is a little creepy.

Reina gradually started to come to her senses after a while and quickly regained her reason.

“Ah, m-m-m-mianhae! O-ottokhae-!”

Reina, realizing that she had been touching my face until now, was flustered about what to do with me.

Anna-unni took me from Reina.

“Jwe, jwe, jwesonghamnidaaaaa!!!”

==

Everyone seems to like the outfit I’m wearing, so after sitting on the chair, we had a photo time.

Anna-unni also seemed to dislike the cosplay outfit that Reina brought at first, but she liked it after seeing me wearing it.

It didn’t just end with Reina feeling better again, but Anna-unni looked at me and made a phone call, and suddenly people came into the cafe.

Then they lightly applied something to my face and installed something around me…

A scene that you would only see in a photo studio was created.

Reina and Anna-unni started taking pictures while circling around me.

I tried to smile as much as possible, but as expected, my expression didn’t follow well.

Only the corners of my lips moved slightly.

After a short filming show, the promised time was coming to an end.

Reina and Emma had other schedules afterward, and so did Anna-unni.

I had no choice but to end the offline meeting.

“Arang-ah, mianhae. Unni was out of it, right? And Arang-i is going to have the hardest time, but I was stupid and couldn’t come to my senses alone.”

Anna-unni translated what Reina was saying from the side.

“Gwaen… chana… Unni… deokbune… manheun… geol… arasseo… daeume… tto…”

“Eung!”

Reina hugged me tightly and placed the carrier that Reina had brought next to me.

“This is a gift from Unni. You can wear it or not! It’s Unni’s small gift.”

“Go… mawo.”

I don’t think there will be a time when I want to wear it. But since it’s a gift, I should accept it.

“Thank you for forgiving me. And thank you for cheering up Reina.”

“…”

“Arang-ah?”

Hmm… Emma, the artisan who plays the buk and janggu alone.

Emma… honestly, she’s perfect for my hugging needs.

No matter how good the technology gets and how developed science becomes, it can never catch up to the feeling and warmth that comes from human-to-human contact.

And the comfort that comes from the fluffiness and softness of the chest.

I’m coveting Emma’s chest.

I was in Emma’s arms for a short time in LeoRe, and I liked it quite a bit.

Anna-unni and the doctor are also very good, but that overwhelming chest is irreplaceable.

It’s a shame that Emma is a British person who came to Korea for a trip, not someone who lives in Korea.

“An… ajwo…”

“Uh, eung.”

It’s a waste, a waste after all.

[Assassin]

An assassin-type job that uses two daggers.

Now is the time to seriously study the [Assassin] job.

A little time has passed since the offline meeting with Reina and Emma, the mead guild leaders.

It’s been four weeks since the last Abyss Raid opened, and all of our guild members’ necessary equipment was able to be matched.

Thanks to that, I will be receiving all the equipment boxes from next week.

Through Reina, I was able to receive a strategy guide at the level of a thesis that was researched by a user who played this trial raid with the [Assassin] job.

That user is currently ranked 1st in the LeoRe logs for the [Assassin] job, like BellyFlop.

As soon as I saw the strategy guide that was over 40 pages, I couldn’t help but know why this user was ranked 1st in [Assassin].

“They’re really amazing.”

They calculated everything, including attack speed, cooldown reduction, and buffs, and wrote everything about the deal cycle and skill operation.

No matter how much I like games and dig deep into them, I’ve never written a strategy guide like this. Because it’s annoying.

I decided to look at the basic skill part first.

If this was a simple PC RPG, I would have focused on this 40-page strategy guide, but this is a virtual reality VRMMO.

No matter how smart you are and create a perfect deal cycle and use buffs regularly, the user themselves have to move to deal damage in the end.

In other words, what’s important in LeoRe, which is a VRMMO, is ultimately physicality.

I’m still using pre-season equipment, and the other [Soul Master] users are wearing this raid’s equipment after four weeks and renewing the LeoRe logs, but the answer comes out when I’m still in 1st place.

Even though the difference between the pre-season equipment and the current raid equipment is almost 20%.

In particular, there are still no users who have cleared the 1-on-1 gimmick as a dealer.

The assassin job line requires high physicality.

If [Sword Master] required high physicality due to parrying, [Assassin] is about controlling the fast attack speed and not dying with a health of a fruit fly. And multitasking.

[Assassination]

Receive additional buffs depending on how you hold the dagger.

Essence: Attack Speed 10%, Skill Haste 10%

Reverse: Attack Power 5%, Critical Damage 5%

This is the [Assassination] skill that can be called the identity of the [Assassin] job.

I think it’s quite fun to change the buffs by switching between Essence and Reverse.

In particular, this Essence and Reverse can be used separately for two daggers.

On top of that, one of the reasons why [Assassin] is difficult is that skills can be used for each dagger.

[Assassin] skills receive additional effects depending on Essence and Reverse.

First, let’s take a look at the two basic attack skills of [Assassin].

[Limit]

Uses the power of murderous intent to inflict 120% attack. Receives additional effects depending on Essence and Reverse.

Essence: Attack speed increases by 20%. The damage the target receives increases by 5% for 5 seconds.

Reverse: 10% of damage is additionally created as fixed damage.

[Xenos]

Uses the power of the moon to inflict 110% attack. Receives additional effects depending on Essence and Reverse.

Essence: Essence buff is doubled for 5 seconds.

Reverse: Reverse buff is doubled for 5 seconds.

Effects occur according to Essence and Reverse in this way. So, for each skill, you have to decide whether to hit with Essence or Reverse.

What’s scary is that you have to use skills with the other dagger in the meantime. In other words, the job that requires extreme multitasking more than other jobs is [Assassin].

The assassin job line has more movement-related skills than other jobs.

If [Soul Master] only has dash skills, [Assassin] has movement skills that start with dashing and move behind the target, etc., so that they can avoid being hit by monsters instead of having the health of a fruit fly.

How well you utilize that is another matter…

If there were many movement skills and you didn’t get hit, there wouldn’t be a saying that [Assassin] is a noob job.

“Arang-ah.”

While I was looking at the strategy guide and roughly checking about the [Assassin] job, Pinku Berry, whom I had called, came.

“Unni came?”

“Yeah. I finished editing and came.”

“Oh! Is RyuTube doing well?”

Pinku Berry sat on the sofa where I was sitting, and I naturally sat on Pinku Berry’s lap.

Pinku Berry hugged me like a teddy bear as if it was natural.

“It increased a lot after doing WFK this time, reaching as many as 100,000 people…!”

“100,000 people, that’s a huge increase!”

“But most of them… have become Arang-i videos…”

“Hey, what does it matter!”

“It’s not ‘what does it matter’… Arang-i asks me to film and doesn’t even get paid, so I’m uncomfortable…!”

“Instead, you take care of everything in LeoRe! Unni is doing almost all of the guild management, and you’re getting all the annoying life materials.”

“Still…”

“Gal!”

“Gal? What’s gal?”

“Ah…”

Was that a drip that was too old.

The reason why Pinku Berry came to find me was because I called for help.

I thought I would make a lot of mistakes this time in doing [Assassin], so I called Pinku Berry, who is a healer job.

Because if I die and revive in the village, it’s annoying to walk again.

First, I decided to catch field monsters that are good to get used to.

I confidently grabbed Pinku Berry’s hand and went out to the field together.

I felt happy going out to the field with Pinku Berry after a long time.

Since it’s the max level area, Adrea Field, the field monsters are naturally level 60.

The monster I’m trying to catch now is a monster that was created with the addition of this raid.

It’s originally a basic orc, but it’s a monster with a setting that it has become stronger because it’s infected with cordyceps.

I stretched while receiving Pinku Berry’s buff.

I stretched out my hands and legs and finished stretching, and I held two daggers.

First, I held two daggers as Essence.

An X2 appeared on the moon icon, creating a buff.

Good. Now, I used the basic skills [Limit] and [Xenos] on each side and rushed at the [Mind-Controlled Orc].

My body was much lighter than [Soul Master], and I moved forward more than I thought, entering the range of the ax that the orc was swinging down.

“Euyat!?”

I tried to parry by raising the dagger in my left hand.

But.

Kuoong!

“Eugek!”

Unable to overcome the power of the ax, I was crushed and fell to the floor.

I failed to parry the attack of the heavy ax with the short dagger, low weight, and light equipment, and allowed the attack as it was.

‘This can’t be done with one dagger…!’

I quickly got up and stepped back.

The moment I was about to rush at the orc again after receiving Pinku Berry’s heal.

A sensation I had never felt before penetrated my stomach.

“Eueh?”

I fell to the floor as if sliding coolly on the spot.
