I Play Games Even Without Limbs

Behind Arang, who was running away, users were attacked one after another and sent flying.

As the users of the [Munchkin Cat] alliance began to fall, unable to hold on, Arang realized that someone skilled was following her.

“Arang, have you recovered enough stamina to run alone?”

“Yeah.”

“You need to quickly retreat, recover your stamina and health safely, and come back in full condition.”

“Got it.”

Baedeokgae tried to sacrifice herself for Arang, but something felt off about the situation.

Everyone’s gaze started to focus on one spot, and a man began to walk out from there.

“Huh…? No, I mean, this is PVP, but…”

Baedeokgae was flustered seeing the man walking toward her.

“Isn’t there a tournament tomorrow?”

“Yeah, but I wanted to face you again before that.”

A perfectly proportioned body built through consistent exercise. A handsome appearance that anyone would admire. Neatly trimmed short hair.

“Pro Kim Gi-hyung?”

Arang spoke as she saw Pro Kim Gi-hyung appear before everyone.

Pro Kim Gi-hyung is the top pro in Leore this year.

Moreover, after competing with her in an event tournament, he advanced to the next level and became one of the top players in Asia, recognized worldwide.

And now, Pro Kim Gi-hyung suddenly appeared in the alliance war.

The alliance users naturally surrounded Baedeokgae, Arang, and Pro Kim Gi-hyung like a colosseum.

“Arang, long time no see?”

“What brings you here? Isn’t tomorrow the day for the World Tournament qualifiers?”

“Yeah, so I’m in Europe right now.”

“Shouldn’t you be practicing for the World Tournament?”

“That’s why I’m here.”

“Huh?”

“I want to fight you.”

“Wow…”

The situation seemed like a replay of the match from the event tournament, and all the alliance users were excited about the current situation.

Those who had known Arang for a long time remembered the event tournament.

Or rather, they were forced to remember.

“But if they fight again, who will win?”

“Of course, Arang will win. She won last time too.”

“Come on, Pro Kim Gi-hyung obviously went easy on her. How could any adult seriously fight a 15-year-old sickly girl with no limbs in the tournament venue?”

“Seriously. Besides, Pro Kim Gi-hyung has gotten even better and is now one of Asia’s representatives. Can she really match up?”

“Even if Arang has good physical stats, a pro is still a pro.”

“True. Even though Pro Kim Gi-hyung has lower physical stats compared to other pros, his natural combat sense has taken him to the world stage.”

As soon as the Guild Cup started, the place got noisy, and everyone was looking forward to the duel between Arang and Pro Kim Gi-hyung.

“This is fun.”

Arang was confident that she wouldn’t lose in a 1v1 against anyone right now.

Moreover, the last time she fought Pro Kim Gi-hyung, he didn’t take the game seriously from the start, so it wasn’t a fair fight from the beginning.

“I was just thinking it was time to use the skill I recently acquired… Now seems perfect. The conditions and situation are just right.”

“Skill? There’s still a skill to learn in Leore?”

Hearing the word “new skill,” Baedeokgae tilted her head in confusion.

It had been a long time since Arang maxed out [Sword Master]. The level cap hadn’t been expanded, so Baedeokgae was curious about this new skill.

“Hmm… It’s a skill that can only be used in a place with this many people. The problem is, it might get patched after one use, which is a bit disappointing.”

“Huh?”

“Patched after one use?”

If it gets patched, it means Leore will intentionally prevent its use.

If another user said this, it would sound like nonsense, but Arang had already created such a situation twice before.

The first was the invalidation of the limb stiffness system.

When this was first seen, it was so absurd that no one knew what to say.

Eventually, it was patched out by Leore not long after.

The second was the [Sword Master] rework.

[Sword Master] is a class that can receive additional buffs by using the parrying system.

Parrying is the identity and core of [Sword Master].

But the problem was that as Leore’s difficulty increased over time, opportunities to use parrying decreased, leading to several buffs.

The parrying buff was supposed to be a bonus, but Arang used it like eating ice cream, creating a huge gap between her and other [Sword Master] users, leading to the removal of the parrying buff.

‘And now there’s another one like that…? What kind of outrageous thing is she going to show this time?’

Baedeokgae felt a bit scared but also curious about what Arang would show.

“Baedeokgae unnie, watch me. I’m not sure if it’ll work, but I think I should try it.”

“Are you really going to fight?”

“If I don’t fight now, things will just get worse. And this kind of fight? I never run away.”

Arang sent Baedeokgae back and slowly walked toward Pro Kim Gi-hyung, while Baedeokgae entered the colosseum wall created by the users.

“You came with the same class as me?”

The 40cm height difference made them look like an adult and his daughter, but both were well-known users in Leore.

“Yeah. I was so frustrated after losing last time. Do you know how much I analyzed and studied your videos? That’s why I came to win this time.”

“Sorry, but this time, I’ll make all that analysis useless.”

Ink, an American streamer and commentator for Leore tournaments, suddenly entered a link posted by a viewer in the chat, who was urging everyone to watch quickly.

“Huh? Gi-hyung?”

There, Kim Gi-hyung, a Korean pro gaining attention in the World Tournament, was holding a sword with a tense expression.

“Isn’t tomorrow the World Tournament qualifier? What are you doing…? Oh, is it capture time now?”

-It’s capture time now.

-Arang and Gi-hyung are going to fight 1v1.

“Arang? That Arang? Why is she fighting Pro Gi-hyung?”

-I heard they fought in a tournament before? Gi-hyung lost that time.

-Really? No way, Gi-hyung lost?

-They say Gi-hyung was careless back then.

“Really? Pro Gi-hyung lost to that young girl? Even if the princess has good physical stats, PVP isn’t just about physical stats, right?”

-The princess hit Challenger in Korean server PVP in less than a month.

“Less than a month to hit Challenger? Wow… Is that what they call talent? Oh, they’re starting to fight.”

The fight between Arang and Pro Kim Gi-hyung was at an incredibly high level from the start.

Even to Ink, a long-time Leore commentator and World Tournament commentator, their fight was at a level worthy of the World Tournament.

“Wow… Did you see that? Using parrying like that in PVP?”

Parrying in PVE, where psychological warfare doesn’t exist, is already difficult, but parrying in PVP, where psychological warfare is possible, is extremely hard.

But Arang parried as if it were natural, and Gi-hyung acted as if he knew he would be parried, which was mind-blowing.

“Is Arang really 15? How does a 15-year-old girl have such physical stats? But Gi-hyung is still a pro.”

As Ink said, as the fight dragged on, Pro Kim Gi-hyung began to push Arang.

Having been a pro for a long time and seriously considering Arang a rival, Pro Kim Gi-hyung faced Arang seriously, who had helped him grow to the next level.

Even though Arang had high physical stats, Gi-hyung’s long experience as a pro and his honed combat sense and instincts began to overwhelm her. Ink and the viewers thought Gi-hyung would win, but then—

Arang aggressively charged at Pro Kim Gi-hyung.

The problem was, the charge was too emotional.

In a situation where she was being pushed, the desperate and emotional charge seemed like a child throwing a tantrum.

Pro Kim Gi-hyung, seeing Arang’s childish behavior, found it cute and swung his sword at her exposed arm.

The sword was supposed to slash her arm, causing her to stiffen and be unable to dodge the next attack, leading to her defeat—

Swoosh!

“Huh?”

The expected impact and sound of the sword slashing her arm were absent.

The sword cut through empty air.

Pro Kim Gi-hyung, realizing the attack he thought would never miss had missed, quickly assessed the situation.

‘What the hell!?’

Pro Kim Gi-hyung, who rarely swears, saw Arang’s arm, or rather the absence of it, as she confidently swung her sword at him.

“Ugh!”

As Arang’s attack came in, Gi-hyung kicked her back to prevent further attacks.

Pro Kim Gi-hyung stared at Arang, whose arm had disappeared.

“What the…”

“Hehe. This time, I developed a technique using lag to dodge attacks—known as Limbs Dissection.”
