Seizure

The word “Victory!” appeared before my eyes.

I achieved victory against the strongest Korean opponent at this point in time.

Of course, I was able to win because I had one last trick up my sleeve. I won the first two matches by taking advantage of Kim Gi-hyung Pro’s carelessness in the beginning, so it was a bit of a cheap win, but a win is a win.

Moreover, the last fight was truly a clash of titans, a battle between dragons and tigers. Even I thought it was a cool fight that oozed style.

But…

I didn’t expect this kind of situation to happen even in the virtual world.

I thought I only needed to be careful about seizures in reality, and I’d be fine. But thinking about it, I should have expected this kind of situation to happen in the virtual world, considering that time in the arena when the greatsword pierced my abdomen and switched me to Awakening Mode, or rather, Depression Mode.

It’s not like I’m drowning and can’t breathe. Water created by magic covers my whole body, and I can only feel the sensation of damage as my whole body vibrates intensely.

But the situation has become strange.

For a brief moment, I could see the Colosseum, the arena background, but then I saw the bathroom ceiling in my hospital room and even the nurse who was bothering me appeared.

The water created by magic disappeared, and the word “Victory!” appeared before my eyes, but I couldn’t see it properly.

My vision is shaking. No, it’s beyond shaking, it’s warping.

All the strength leaves my body, and I fall face down on the floor.

I can’t breathe properly. My mouth is open, and my chest is moving, but I’m suffocating.

I guess I’m not breathing in reality.

The moment I realized I was in big trouble, my vision turned red.

Even though my vision was shaking, I clearly heard the warning sound, enough to recognize that a warning window had popped up.

‘Well… I’m screwed!’

As my vision turned pitch black, I felt myself being forcibly logged out of the virtual world and closed my eyes.

[“Player Lee Arang-ssi needs to be careful! This is Kim Gi-hyung Pro’s trick!?”]

[“As if predicting this situation, Kim Gi-hyung Pro is casting the Sorceress’s max-level skill [Third Element] below himself!”]

[“I don’t know which of the three skills-fire, water, or earth-he chose, but in this situation, it’s probably water, which has a fast casting time!”]

[“Just as I said that, I’ve confirmed the skill being cast under Lee Arang-ssi! It’s too late to escape!”]

[“Is she going to make a decision here!? Lee Arang-ssi is frantically attacking Kim Gi-hyung Pro’s vitals with incredible speed. Burst damage, burst damage, burst damage! Kim Gi-hyung Pro’s health is rapidly disappearing!”]

[“Unbelievable! She’s wiping out that much health in such a short time!?”]

[“She defeated Kim Gi-hyung Pro before the magic was cast!!! She won! Lee Arang-ssi won!”]

[“Lee Arang-ssi finally achieved victory against Kim Gi-hyung Pro in the very last moment! The final movement skill combo was so beautiful that I want to watch the replay right now!”]

-Wow, what the hell?

-The way she cancels the skill’s pre-delay and post-delay like it’s originally that kind of skill is insane, just insane?

-She’s crazy as hell

-As expected, WFK isn’t something you just do?

-There’s still no one who’s cleared the 1v1 Makgora gimmick with a dealer, lol

-She completely shattered Kim Gi-hyung’s expectations and killed him, damn

-As expected, it’s Arang Arang.

-This is the guild leader of the Munchkin Cat Guild who achieved WFK, that’s right!

[“The remaining [Third Element] water magic was cast, but it was just slightly, 1 second, no, about 0.5 seconds too late. It’s such a shame.”]

[“That’s right. Lee Arang-ssi’s instantaneous damage dealing ability was too overwhelming. I want to see the replay of her attacking with incredible physical skill for about 1 second!”]

[“Now, we’ll connect to the arena for the victory interview. Lee Arang-ssi? Can you hear me, Lee Arang-ssi?”]

-Huh?

-What’s wrong?

-Why is she like that?

-Arang-i seems to be trembling a little?

[“Lee Arang-ssi, can you hear me? Is there a problem with the connection right now? Oh? She says no?”]

[“Just a moment. Lee Arang-ssi’s condition seems strange…?”]

The giant screen is zoomed in on Arang-i, who has won.

It was a camera movement expecting to show Arang-i rejoicing in victory, but what actually came out was Arang-i, who didn’t look to be in good condition.

Her eyes, which were full of spirit and fighting energy, were gone, replaced by eyes that didn’t even seem to be in focus, and pupils that were visibly trembling. Her body was trembling along with them.

Thud.

At that moment, when everyone felt something was wrong, Arang-i lost strength and collapsed on the spot. And she started convulsing.

[“Lee Arang-ssi!?”]

The moment the strangeness turned into certainty, Arang-i’s condition changed rapidly.

Arang-i’s appearance, lying on the floor and twitching, was clearly not normal.

“Arang-ah!”

Anna, Pinku, and Soonchu rushed to the access device that Arang-i was connected to in a hurry.

The access device forcibly logs out of the virtual world when the user’s condition changes drastically.

Arang-i, who returned to reality, had the nerve block in her neck released as she logged out of the virtual world, and the convulsions in her body due to the seizure burst out all at once.

Arang-i, unable to gather herself because she had no arms or legs, rolled off the access device as she was.

[“Lee Arang-ssi!”]

-What? What’s going on? What’s going on?

-The screen suddenly turned off? What is it?

-It looks like Arang-i just rolled off the access device?

-What? Turn on the screen

-What’s going on? Judging from the sound, it seems like something serious is happening…?

In a situation that was clearly an accident, the tournament management team immediately stopped broadcasting.

Kim Gi-hyung Pro, who had lost the match and logged out of the virtual world first, was in the access device right next to Arang-i’s. While he was reviewing the situation from earlier, he noticed the noisy arena and something falling next to him, and he turned his gaze to that something.

Arang-i was convulsing pitifully on the cold floor, writhing.

“Lee Arang!”

Kim Gi-hyung, realizing that the something was none other than the young girl Arang-i he had just fought, hurriedly picked up the fallen Arang-i.

Arang-i was so light. But Arang-i’s condition was not light.

She didn’t seem to be able to breathe, her eyes were already rolled back, and she was convulsing so badly that she couldn’t control her tears, snot, and saliva.

“W-What the hell…! Medical staff! Medical staff!!!”

“Arang-ah!”

Anna snatched Arang-i, who was being held by Kim Gi-hyung Pro, and hugged her as she was, whispering words of reassurance as if soothing a child and stroking her back.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Unnie is here… It’s okay…”

Pinku and Soonchu stopped the medical staff, who were rushing over with various medical tools, and put their index fingers to their lips, asking them to be quiet.

When that scene was shown on the electronic display board, everyone in the tournament held their breath.

Fortunately, not long after, Arang-i, who had been convulsing in Anna’s arms, fell asleep as if exhausted.

Anna bowed her head without saying a word in the suddenly desolate arena, where everyone could see, and left the arena as she was and returned to the waiting room.

-What’s going on?

-Turn on the screen

-Commentators, casters, say something!

-What’s our Arang-i’s condition like!

[“Ah… Lee Arang-ssi’s condition suddenly deteriorated, so the broadcast has been stopped. Fortunately, Arang-ssi’s condition has improved, and we plan to start the tournament after a short waiting period.”]

-Is she really okay…

-No, she did the WFK march in that kind of physical condition…?

-Isn’t her physical condition worsening because of WFK?

The broadcast screen suddenly turned off, but everyone saw Arang-i collapse and even saw her rolling off the access device due to the seizure on the broadcast, so everyone realized that Arang-i’s condition was more serious than they thought.

[Is Gallery Master’s Health Okay Like This] [524]

I’m a gallery member working at a hospital in Seoul, though I can’t say where. Below is a proof photo.

(Photo)

I’m writing this because I’m worried about the Gallery Master’s mental health that I saw.

The fact that her eyes were shaking, she lost strength in her body and collapsed, and her body was trembling even though she was in the virtual world is not because of her physical health.

If it was because of her physical health, she should have been trembling in reality, not in the virtual world.

But she didn’t. The fact that she was trembling in the virtual world means it’s a mental problem… Those symptoms are usually PTSD, and it seems like the water, which is the Sorceress’s skill, was the trigger at the end.

It’s so sad that a 15-year-old girl is experiencing PTSD. It’s hard enough to live without arms and legs, but to have PTSD on top of that…

I hope the Gallery Master’s condition improves as soon as possible…

[Comments]

I don’t know what to say. I just hope the Gallery Master is happy…

ㄴI really hope she’s happy.

If she has PTSD from water, does that mean she almost drowned?

ㄴMaybe… Since she doesn’t have arms or legs, even shallow water is dangerous…

ㄴI’m really worried

The last broadcast screen was too shocking…

ㄴThat part has already been deleted

ㄴIt’s understandable

It’s just ㅇㄴㅎ itself [This message has been deleted.]

ㄴYou just go die

ㄴㅅㄱ

ㄴㅅㄱ did

ㄴWhat? What kind of comment was it?

ㄴDon’t try to find out

[Gallery Master’s Identity] [1023]

A 15-year-old girl with outstanding leadership, insight, and PVP skills to the point of beating pros, as well as excellent physical skills, achieving WFK for the first time in Korea

But in reality, she’s a frail, beautiful girl with a terminal illness, amputated limbs, and even PTSD…?

If you wrote a novel like this, you’d be criticized for having a broken plot.

Actually, Arang-i is just an ordinary girl and is living happily, right? Right?

[Comments]

It’s getting close to denial of reality

ㄴIt’s understandable. Just the atmosphere when she first appeared on the broadcast was shocking, but suddenly she had prosthetic arms and legs, and her physical condition was so bad that she had a seizure… This is reality

I hope the Gallery Master gets healthy soon;;

ㄴIt needs to be normalized as soon as possible

ㄴㄹㅇ Normalization is urgent

Fortunately, I was able to come to my senses not long after.

When I opened my eyes, I was in Anna Unnie’s arms.

Everyone was very worried about me. This was clearly my mistake.

Even though I knew that my mind would change due to the impact on my abdomen even in the virtual world, I wasn’t thinking about seizures.

I was complacent, thinking, “I just need to be careful in reality~,” and this kind of thing happened.

I made my Unnies worry too much. I’m really sorry to my Unnies who like and love me.

The problem is, if I have seizures like this, what will happen when water, fire, and other seizure-inducing elements come out when I’m enjoying content later? It seems like normal gameplay will be impossible.

This seems to be a problem that needs to be overcome as soon as possible. I need counseling or treatment quickly. To enjoy virtual world games comfortably.

…But where do I get the limited-edition mount or title? Should I talk to Uncle Woo-cheol, whom I met at the meeting?
